The Cleaners.

The old custom of cleaning in the
harvest fields, which recalls the Bibli-
cal story of Ruth and Naomi, is not
obsolete in England, and in Hertford-
shire Bedfordshire and the neighbor-
ing counties as soon as the wheat is
gathered in the late days Of August
there may be seen in the newly cleared
fields numbers of women and children
diligently picking up one by one the
scattered ears and forming them into
neat little sheaves, which they carry
in their hands until large enough to be
bound up. When the daylight fails,
all the booty is bound up in cloths and
carried home on the heads of the
cleaners. At home they thrash it out
by hand and sell the grain or use it
for their chickens The gathering of
a half peck is usually a full days work
for Il child, and often woman spends
a whole day in gathering very little
more. Cleaning, however, is looked
upon somewhat in the light of picnic.
The mother and ch:Gdren leave home in

the day, and stay out in the fiel'is until
