Roswell Field. in Chicago Post.
The English pulpit is taking very just
and conservative view of the perils of
bridge whist, and rightly argues that when
young women start in to play on the Sab
bath right after breakfast and continue at
the table all day they are carrying the
thing too far The Sabbath was made for
woman as well as for man, but we can find
nothing to indicate that II was made for
bridge whist. Our ministerial advisers are
right also when they assert that mo man
who is a man should allow his womankind
to become in debt to other men," 1t is bad
enough to be In debt to the old man him
self, without feeling that you, imprudent
sister, are establishing line of credit with
other houses. If you must play bridge
whist-a silly and frivolous game-play dur
ing the secular hours and play for cash.

A Servant Girls Union.

New York Evening Pest.
Servant girls unions are no novelty, at
least on paper, but the foundation princi-
pies on which they are based are always
interesting. One formed at Holyoke, Mass,
is no exception to the rule. mo Sunday
night suppers will be prepared" says this
union in it's Declaration of Independence.
mo work will be done in the kitchen be-
tween 1880 p. m. and $50 a. m; no babies
will be minded between acts of ordinary
homework; no children will be allowed in
the kitchen: each girl shall have three
nights out per week" The document goes
on to assert that s. per week shall be the
only rate of wages permitted, and that the
front door must be available for the com
pany" of the help" as well as an apart
ment more suitable than the kitchen to be
used a reception room. One searches in
vain for a ray of hope for the housekeeper.
There is nothing about permanency Of en-
ployment. faithfulness of service, or even
about any service at ALL The s. per week
seems a pure convention, Ii being not in
the least clear that any return is to be
made for IL. 1t is, indeed, evident that the
advent of milennial relations between 5erv-
ant and housewife are not TO be observed

Laborers and Church Work.

At the meeting of the Christian ministers
of the city yesterday morning. Professor ].
ID. Forrest. of Butler College, spoke on
1.-The Church and the Problems of the
Working Class" He spoke from the view
OF the lack Of interest taken in things relig-
ious by the laboring element He said this
came from the fact that the laboring men
were too busy with unions and labor mat
tiers to think OF church. He believed that
when the acme Of perfection was attained
in union organization the laborer would
then turn his attention TO church work.

A STRICT ENFORCEMENT

tOriginal.1

[Orignal.l
One day lady passing along street
in Tokyo where plumber was fixing
a waterspout received sprinkle of
melted solder on her dress. She turned
upon the poor man like fury, declar-
Ing that the dress was ruined, that she
had just received it from its maker,
that it was worth 500. and demanding
that he pay the amount at once.
The plumber. who probably had new
er possessed half the amount in his
life, was very much chagrined. He eX-
planned that his ladle had slipped and
the injury to the dress was entirely un-
intentional.

matter Yod ruined my dress, and you
shall pay for it. | think know the
law we'll enough to be sure Of my posi-

The man was beside himself. He had
scarcely Il dollar in the world. What
was he to do!
I'll pay you Il dollar IL week. he
said piteously. It'll all is paid
THAT would take two years. No. l
must have my money now. Since you
will not pay YOU shah go before the
Justice He will find out whether you
have the money"
With that she called a policeman and
had the plumber taken before a JUS
tice. The court was in session, and
after waiting awhile the lady secured
q hearing She told her side of the
case. The plumber admitted that.
through an accident which occurred
while the lady was passing. her dress
had been injured by his solder. He de-
clared that he would pay in time, but
he could not pay at once. He begged
the court to have pity upon him and
not send him to Jail. for without his
support his family would starve.
.It all rests with the plaintiff said
the judge. You have ruined her dress
and must pay the damage. This is the
law. 1t rests with her whether she
lets you off from immediate payment"
