LABOR IN BERLIN.
Interesting Facts About the TOilers Of
the German Capital.

NAN OSAhAA N~t%N~
The yearly report Of the official
inspectors on the state Of labor in
Berlin and its suburbs of Chariot
tenburg, Schoneburg and Rixdorf
gives the totalnumber Of persons en-
ployed in factories and workshops
within this area during 1901 as 1885,
762, or about one-tenth Of all the
persons SO Employed in Prussia. This
total includes 152,S51 men, 66,44O
women, 14,242 young persons Of IA
to 16 years Of age, and AZ children.
Of the women, 23,035 are from 16 to
81 years old and 43,405 over 81 years
old.
The total number of those en-
ployed in factories and workshops
only increased by / per cent. during
1901, as against 10.5 per cent. in the
preceding year. The number of
male workers decreased by 1.3 per
cent. but there was an increase Of
10.1 per cent. in the number Of fe-
males employed. The dizziness Of
trade has thrown many persons out
Of work. Inquiries made by the in
spectors in 1896 establishments
showed that in the metal and ma
chine industries, the building, car
p%entering and allied trades there
was a decrease Of from $4,000 to 49,
900 in the number Of persons en-
ployed in October, 1901, as COM
pared with October, 1900. The iron
foundries dispensed with about 80
per cent. Of their hands. 1t was cal
culated that in the month Of Noyem-
Der about 1900 factory hands were
out Of work. Many firms have cur
tailed the hours Of work. The work
men in the machine factories, for
example, have earned on an average
Of 10 per cent. less than usual.
One consequence Of the slackness
in the labor market has been to rem
der the housing question, especially
in the northern and eastern quarters,
less acute, since many persons have
left Berlin in the hope Of finding EN-
ployment elsewhere. The com,
plant, however, is made that the
suburb Of Charlottenburg, which i:
largely inhabited by the well-to-dc
classes, puts difficulties in the way
of the erection of industrial dwell,
ings.

the school period Of life. Ideas cannot become the permanent pos
session Of the world unless they enter in through the door Of child
hood. The results Of child study have shown to the educational
world that it is at the age OF from II to IS, the opening period of
adolescence, that the individual is most susceptible to the influence
Of culture and refinement. In most lives this is the time of the dawn
Of the real educational and religious instincts. 1t is the waking time
Of life in body mind and heart. Now it is we find that subtle emo
tons are settling into dispositions, and dispositions are becoming
character. The great instincts of atruism begin to be felt and to
transform the soul and there comes to the individual the great con-
cepion that life is after all not to be lived for self, but for others.
There comes to the soul the instinct of subordnation and sacrifice,
'of being ready to die for that we should live for" 1t is in this pc
Rod that the principles Of religious character can be most surely APP
propriated by the life of the Individual. This is the age Of confrma-
ton in the Greek, Roman and Lutheran churches. The statistics Of
the leading Protestant churches show that this is the age in which
occur the greatest number OF lasting conversions,
THE GREAT NEED OF THE COMPLEX CIVILIZATION
OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY with its diversity Of econom-
Nal interests, its conflict OF principles and the struggle for supremacy,
is CHRISTIAN H But the agencies for the develop
ment OF this quality among the masses Of the people are limited.
The churches and the Sunday schools in their many lines OF activ-
hy are LONG much; but they have but one OF two hours a week, and
nearly half the children are not brought under their direct influence
at ALL II the principles Of Christian character are to predominant
in the future civilization Of America, the state schools must assume
the responsibility, in a measure at least, Of giving to all the children
thai come Under their charge a basis Of religious education.

"If the powers that be-" said con-
ductor on a Madison avenue car, ac-
cording to the New York Commercial
Advertiser, "would make it misde-
meanor for woman to get off a NOV
ing car backward, fewer people would
be injured, the company would save
money and we conductors wouldn't get
gray so quickly. We all try our best to
teach women how to get off car, but
many of them seem to be unable to
learn such simple thing as that.
when they fall and are hurt they
blame us for it of course. But what
saddens me is the way they resent your
efforts to teach them how to insure
their safety. turned one woman half
way around one day in an effort to get
her to step off in the direction in
which the car was going. She slapped
my face, :.assed' me good and reported
me to the company as an impertinent
scoundrel who ought to be in Jail. If
1 hadn't caught her when did she
would have had a bad fall. Encourag-
ing, isn't it? What did the company
do? Oh, they understand such things
all right"

LOOK upward with dewy eyes.

4he mes together lean their heads,
AnC murmur: 1T rains it rains''
Inc blades of the serried corn
mat shrivel beneath the heat
are tossing their graceful plumes aloft,
AS they rustle-"How sweet, how sweet!'
Inc aspens are clasping their hands:
- Inc buos that had closed, have burst:
AHd the shrunken rivulet means no more
over moses that faint with thirst
Each daisy that stars the grass
mas pienlshed its silver cup; 81
ne olrds that chirped in the hawthorn
hedge
Are .hushing their singing up.
sfragrant as new-mown hay
comes waited the meadows scent;
AND the pasturing cattle snuff the air,
AND below their wild content
Inc cool of the freshening shower
Is wrapping the hills and plains;
Inc swoon in which Nature breathless lay
is over: 1t rains-it rains!

Ancient skyscrapers.

Numerous conflicting estimates have
been made Of the height of the tower
of Babel, but one fact never has been
denied, and that is that it was a sky
scraper. St. Jerome, in his commen-
tary on Isaiah, says that the tower
was already 1000 PAGES high when God
came down to stop the work. A pace
is about 2h feet; therefore 1000 PAGES
must be 10000 feet; consequently Ba
bel was 20 times as high as the Pyra-
