SHORTER HOURS, MORE PAY.
These Are What the Journeymen
Horseshoers Want.

A committee from the Journeymen
Horseshoers' Local, No 49, met a num-
Der OF the master horseshoers, Wednes-
day evening. The meeting was called
to discuss the journeymen's claim for
improved conditions of employment.
There will be another meeting held in
the course of q week. Concerning the
meeting, Y. A. Naloney, chairman of
the journeymen's conference, said yes
terday.
THE condition under which the jour
neyinen horseshoers are working for
the past ten or fifteen years are so in
tolerable that they propose to counte-
nance 1t no longer. They have taken
a determined stand that their claims
for shorter hours, increase in their
wages. etc, shall receive recognition.
"A letter was forwarded some time
ago to the president OF the Masters
association, to which he made no reply.
The journeymen then invited some
masters to meet with them, which they
readily consented to do. AS these men
were able to speak only for themselves
individually, we deemed it advisable to
adjourn the conference to a time when
we expect a better attendance from the
masters"

The Child's Birthright.

DR.. Hirsch has said many true things in
his sharp criticisms of social habits, but
nothing truer or more pertinent than his

there must be parties and dances. and as a
result the children soon have old faces and
manners. A child is entitled to be child
and should be treated as such" The child

the sense Of privation will grow stronger
and stronger as the child grows older, until
there comes a time when 1t will bitterly
resent its loss and, reprpach those who are
responsible for it, Such a child leaves
childhood before fairly entering it. That
child becomes a nuisance, for it Is dis

It would be better and more wholesome
world II all children were allowed to have
q childhood and were not forced into the
ways and habits of men and women long
before they are grown up. They thereby
not only lose the happiest part Of their lives
but they become dissatisfied, exacting, ex-
asperatingly self-conscious, as well as exas-
peratingly silly and undisciplined. The par
ents who teach their children to ape their
elders and do the things and put on the
airs Of men and women when they should
encourage them to disport themselves after
the manner Of small and healthy animals
are making mistake for which they will
not be thanked by those they are defraud-

The Work of<Wcmen.
From Pearson's Magazine.


The primitive woman was active; bioiog-

lection, made her the worker, man the war

Then the lessening Of his occupation as
warrior left him free. to become captain
of industry and crown the production Of
wealth with the creative method. The high
est achievements in invention and organi-
cation have been reached in our century,
and this century has been, too, a time Of
comparative peace. Women have dropped
occupation after occupation until this time
shows the greatest number of unemployed
females. The lesson Of the nineteenth CEN
fury seems to have been that little short of
the eXigencies of war can force women to
be wealth producers, and yet their adequate
occupation Is necessary for national health.
Germany, in spite Of a terrible military
burden, makes vast strides in progress be-
cause her women Of all classes are work.
ers, and full of a high sense Of obligation
The men repeat the sterling virtues of their
mothers. A nation can only continue when
based on a foundation of sound woman
hood; and II women cannot make the con-
scious effort and put aside the temptation
which rapidly increasing national wealth
always holds out to them, then their ma
ton will surely decay. History has told
the story over and over again. That lux
ury is routed by compulsory labor Is the
good that is contained In the evil of mlitar-
ism.

Balloons in the Japanese ARMY.

From Japan and America,
American and European armies have used
balloons for some years, and they were
notably successful as employed by the
British during the South African war for
spying out the enemy's position and for
the opportunity they gave the British en-
gineers to study the difficulties of the land
for defensive and offensive operations. In
the Spanish war the United States army
was not SO successful, because the balloon
was sent up too near the enemy and from
the center of the invading army, and the
lives of both the regiments and the occu-
pants of the balloon were in much greater
danger thereby. Japan, keeping up, as
usual, with the most advanced of modern
methods, has assigned this speciality to one
Of the seven military officers she is sending
abroad this year to study modern warfare.
Capt. Tokunaga, who has long made bal
looming his speciality, is the officer sent by
the Japanese government to study all forms
Of aerial navigation. He is in Germany at
present pursuing his studies, and the jap
anese government it Is said. will give him
every opportunity to further his researches
and experiments. The department of stra-
tegy Of the Japanese army is especially
interested in this matter, and will have
constructed shortly an experimental build
ing where the balloons and apparatus can
be tested, with the view Of adopting or
perhaps inventing, some form Of airship
for the maneuvers Of the imperial army.

Patriotism and Salvation.

From the London Telegraph.
An amusing instance of Franco-German
rivalry occurred at Metz December Z. A
French theatrical troupe appeared at the
local theater to perform a French play, in
which many of the characters appear in
French military uniform. This outraged
the sense Of patriotism in the Metz police,
who promptly forbade the use Of uni
form distasteful to German eyes. The
players were told that they could appear
in German uniform If they pleased, but
this, in turn, outraged their national sus-
capabilities and the play was on the point
Of being withdrawn when news Of the
quarrel reached the local branch Of the
Salvation Army. The officer commanding
at once proceeded to the theater, and Of
fered to dress the actors in the uniform
of his corps SO as to overcome the diff
Guilty. Rather than wear a German cos
tune the offer was accepted by the actors,
and in order to mark their appreciation of
the good offices of the Salvationists the
actresses discarded their own costumes and
appeared in the well known quaint garb
of the Salvation lassies. The humor of The
situation appealed greatly to the audience,
and the performance resulted in brilliant
success.

CORN BREAD.
Fond Recollection of the Days Of the

From the Richmond Dispatch.

From the Richmond Dispatch.
With good meal and a cook following the
lessons and traditions Of the old regime, de-
licious bread may be baked Of Indian meal.
But we have grave doubts whether 1t can
be baked as well in a stove as in an open
fireplace. But, alas! of the latter only
few remain. An ashcake. Of course. must
have ashes. They are indispensable. AS
well try to produce a mint julep without
mint. On the other hand, "f1apjacks'' need
only a well-greased frying pan; but skill is
required to turn them. That Is done by
pitching them out Of the pan into the air
and making them come down flap on the
other side. The corn pone may be cooked In
a stove or range. The hoecake was origi-
nally cooked on hoe in the fields and in the
negro cabins. A skillet will do well enough
for it. but must be well creased at the bot
TOM So, too, with respect to egg or batter
bread AS for corn mullins, the appliances
Of a range are admirably adapted to them.
We wish some millionaire would fit up
Virginia country house in ante-bellum style,
and, among other things, have in 1t big
open fireplace a black cook in a Bingham
dress, with a red bandanna on her head, and
also have half-acre mint bed, an Ice house
and an old-time garden, filled with raspber-
ries and gooseberries, thyme, sage, currants
and all The ordinary table vegetables. When
one of those oQd-tme homes and gardens

all we shall want Will be the zest the appe-

IGNORANCE OF BIRDS.
More Noticeable in Some Varieties

to accommodate themselves to British
weather. Jackdaws, when untainted by
civilization, dwell in holes in the rocks, but
quickly adapt themselves to new circum-
stances. The writer has been almost smoth-
cred by smoke caused by a nest which COM
pletely blocked his chimney, ten feet from
the top. AS the chimney had only been
built few months, It Is obvious that as
site 1t must have been unfamiliar to the
troublesome birds. Now, that time Is far
distant when first chimneys were invented
and the first jackdaws descended their
blackened depths; yet a long experience,
while 1t has shown the birds the conven-
fence of chimneys for holding their abom-
Unable sticks, has not taught them that
their premises cannot be insured against
fire. Perhaps, after all, the brains of jack
DAVIS are sharper than is supposed. The
nests are placed in the chimneys just when
the fires are being given up for the sum-
mer so that the jackdaws enjoy the use Of
the chimneys more than the man who pays
for their erection.

Cathartics irritate the sensitive Innings Of the

do is to put the food in condition to be readily
