Japan without Factory Lava

Factory laws have as yet no exist
ence in Japan. No law regulates the
conditions of labor or the hours of
labor, and the youngest child may be
employed in their factories without
the state taking any steps to watch
over or to protect them. The employer
is sole master in his own house; and
though many of them do not abuse
their power, still, there are some fac
tories in which the workers are ex-
plotted without mercy. In their haste
to be rich, in their feverish anxiety to
profit by the abnormal industrial ac-
tivity, many employers seem to forget
that their hands" are human beings.
In order to compete, others have to
follow their example; hence they, too,
have to exploit the labor of little chill
dren who ought to be playing in the
sunshine, and to keep their hands"
at work during whole days and nights.
Hitherto the governing classes have
manifested no desire to promote, or
even willingness to sanction, any leg
islation that would tend to benefit the
industrial masses, who themselves
have no voice in the government, and
as yet no means of making known
their needs, their desires, and their
aspirations. There are, however, many
signs that the more thoughtful, more
ethical and more progressive amongst
the educated Japanese have already re-
allied the necessity for some change
that will tend to secure to the masses
of their fellow-citizens some partici-
patton in the material advantages of
their advancing civilization.

to the surface to breathe the hawk 10
at hand, and down goes the duck once
more. This is repeated until the poor
duck is almost exhausted; and when
the duck passes a second too long at
the surface, the hawk pounces, and the
duck is secured. There Is wonderful
sagacity shown by these birds in fore
ing diving duck away from the reeds
into open water. They seem loath to
exert themselves sufficiently to capture
their game on the wing but viii dog
him." as it were, from the shadows to
deep water where in sheer despera-
ton the victim dives, fancying that
one or two long reaches under water
will bring him within the shelter of
the reeds. Seldom, however, is he sue
cessful in the attempt; fear and ex-
haustion generally end the matter as
the hawk wishes. great many ducks
crippled by gunners will make for the
marshes, where they hide; and some
times If fortunate and not too severely
wounded, they will recover. But even
here they are not safe; the prowling
fox or mink viii strike their trail
among the sedge, and often catch them
when they venture too near the shore.
Out in the deeper parts of the marsh
ducks must exercise the greatest eau
ton when feeding; for when the dusk
of evening settles down on lake and
fen. and the mystery of the twilight
relgns, most dangerous foe-the
'stiif-hunting owF'-comes from the
darkening woods, and on silent wing
the great bird quarters the marsh
backward and forward with the thor
oughRess of well-trained hound.
Still-hunting is the high art of sport,
and the big owls are experts in their
way.-St. Nicholas.

Had Tom known everything that was
going to happen that day, he would
have oheyed his mother but he felt
sure that he could go down to papa's
store by himself and surprise him; so,
without telling anyone, he boarded a
car, feeling as brave as though he were
sixteen years old instead of six He
carried his guinea-pig unde. his arm,
for he wanted to show it to his father.
Uncle Harry had given it to him right
after papa had started off that morn
ing. Mamma had told Tom that he
must never go Off the block to play,
because she always wanted to know
just where he was; but Master Tom
that morning thought he would make
believe he was a man just like Uncle
Harry, and SO he signaled the car at
the corner and climbed in as fast as
he could, still holding his pet He felt
very important, for the conductor
treated him as though he were grown
up, and the passengers seemed to think
he was a manly little fellow to be able
to go about by himself. He knew where
to get Off, so when papa's store HRs
reached he motioned for the conductor
to stop, and right there the trouble be-
gan. for on the pavement boy lostIetl
him, and trying to keep from dropping
Guinea, Tom ran against big man
who was carrying a bottle of ink The
bottle was thrown against an iron post
and Toms pretty blue shir. with the
sailor collar was ruined and so were
his new tan shoes. Guinea was DROP
ped after all. and some one accidental
ly trod on ner and hurt her dreadfully
By this time Tom was so frightened
that he forgot to make-believe he was
a man; and so he burst out crying and
when he ran into the store he was so
horrid looking little boy that his
father felt anything but proud of him.
To keep him from making-believe that
way another time. his mother would
not let him have strawberry shortcake
for supper that night. But worse than
that, he caught a bad cold riding on
the open car without a coat and has
been i'll. and has been obliged to stay
in bed and eat sick folks food ever
since. He thinks now that it is better
to obey his mother.-Montreal Star.

Petrels. variOusly known as witches
and Mother Carey's Chickens. are De-
culiarly oily in their nature and in
their feeding. The quantity of this
oily matter in these birds is so consid-
cradle that in the Farce Islands the
natives use petrels for candles, with
no other preparation than drawing a
wick through the body of the bird
from the mouth to the rump. Petrels
have the singular faculty of squirting
a quantity of oily stuff through their
nostrils upon those who attack their
nests or otherwise annoy them; and
fowlers who Chamber up the rocks for
that purpose ii not on their guard are
often in this manner suddenly blinded
by the birds, and, losing their balance,
are precipitated down the cliffs.

Some Day.
You're going to take a long vacation,
Some day.
You will travel Ger all creation,
Some day.
Through old Japan you'll idly roam,
Slide down old Fuji-Yamas dome. .
And see the geishas in their home,
Some day.
You will go to Egypt, see the Sphinx,
Some day.
You will climb the Pyramids, me-
thinks,
Some day
Sail up the vast, NJ -sterious Nile,
Shoot at the festive crocodile,
And kodak everything the while.
Some day.
To Italy's classic shores you'll HE,
Some day.
See Naples Bay and refuse to die.
Some day.
Along the tourists usual grove,
Entranced, with dreamful eyes, you'll
move,
See old Pompeii and climb Vesoov,
Some day.
You'll do old Rome and the Holy Land,
Some day.
Pick shells on India's coral strand.
Some day.
Explore the islands of the ocean,
With naught to stay your locomotion,
Wherever you may take the notion,
Some day.
All, trusting brother, you will find.
Some day,
You've done this only in your mind,
Some day.
But when life's journeys over, and
On Jordan's stormy banks you stand,
Maybe you'll see the Promised Land,
Some day.

The Duck Hawks Strategy

The wild duck s lot is not a happy
one, at least when a hawk has singled
it out as its prey. The wild duck pos
sesses a large bump of curiosity and
may at times be brought within shot
by taking advantage of this trait; but.
ordinarily, ii is your wits against
theirs" and this is the great charm
of the sport. 1t is exciting to watch
the duck-hawk in pursuit of his prey.
Given an open field with the quarry,
it is astonishing TO witness the exhi-
bition of speed by these thorough
BRED racers. The hawk will often ov-
ertake and strike duck in the air.
though he seems to prefer to single out
one from some flock, and. If possible
force him to dive. AS the duck comes

Electric Power on War Vessels.

The board of naval construction. in
a report on Congress, states that it is
of the opinion that wherever the mill
tary efficiency of naval vessels can be
increased by the use of electric power
for auxiliary machinery it should be
done, and also, as a large electric
plant must OF Necessity be installed for
military purposes, such as lighting,
searchlights, Understanding gear, am
munition hoists, hammers and elevat-
ing gear for heavy guns, etc, the use
of electric power can with propriety
be applied to other auXiliaries not
likely to be used in action, but which
the electric plant is capable of operat-
ing when the vessel is not engaged in
battle-such as boat cranes deck
winches, etc. The board is also of the
opinion that great attention should be
given to the type and size of electric
generators, their installation, and the
installation of electric conductors; to
the means of interior communication,
and all other essential features.

sketch of An Old Printer.

William B. Eckert. one of the oldest
members of the printers craft, died
recently at the Union Printers HONS
in Colorado Springs. The cause was
old age, the deceased being 81. Mr..
Eckert was the first member admitted
to the home at the time of it's opening

respected member. He had the dis
tinction of being one of the original
founders of the Typographical Union

had been one of the strongest and most
upright members.
