Whenever the rotation time of a planet
is shorter than the period OF the revolu-
ton of its satellite the effect of their
mutual action Is TO accelerate the mo-
ton Of the satellite and TO compel il to
move in an increased orbit-to amplify
its distance.
So row our day is shorter than the
month-the period OF reyolution-of the
moon. Our satellite, therefore, is slowly
receding from Us, and # has been moving
away for thousands OF centuries. But
the day OF the earth is growing longer.
So long as the terrestrial day Is short

continue TO recede from Us. In time, SO

SOME WORK TO DO.

It is not wealth or fame l ask.
But just some plain and simple task
By which to ease my brothers load

Long as the day this work should be,
Then, when night comes to shelter me
Meath her dark wings where nestles

AS, under cleaning clouds, the deep,
I'll calmly rest with dream sealed eyes
Amid my homely harmonies.
Some work to do-some work, forsooth,
To drown the idleness of youth,
It matters not the wage, the moil,
If but the Masters love assoil-
on some high crag that guards the main,
Guiding lone bark home again;
Sowing the seeds of plenty where
The whistling plowboy points his share /:
Cleaving the mountains rock bbed

Trimming a sail adown the tide.
Oh, this were fortunate! just 20 be
q workingman, contented, free
AS some great eagle that defies
The sun to dim his splendid eyes
To feel in blood and breast and breath
The force that filings its glove at Death
To find in toll the careless giee

A SERIOUS P.n.3bLEh
FOR CONSIDERABLE
Child Labor at Night an interesting
Question.

OF all the mooted problems attending
child labor probably none are viewed
with greater unanimity than the Ques
ton of night work for children. Moth
Ing short of Humanity, one would
think, could fail to be moved by the
Inherent cruelty of setting a child or a
young person to labor at night. The
subtle appeal OF helplessness should be
the child's strongest weapon OF de-
Tense. especially against the breach of
so inviolaDle a law of nature-against
exploitation of that particular season OF
childish dependence which is sacred 10
sleep.
Yet the various States authorize. by
tacit or express permission, every grad
alton of night labor from the cruel
period of twelve hours at night for girls
of thirteen in the Pennsylvania mills.
and eight hours at night for orphans OF
ten years In the mills OF Alabama. to
the sweeping prohibition of all work
after D. m. for children under sixteen
In the admirable new law OF Illinois.
Even in this. however, the newsboys and
bootblacks of Chicago are ignored.
If excessive hours OF labor are injuri-
GUS to children, they are no less injuri-
Gus because an accident forces the chill
dren to work overtime. To throw the
onus of the accident upon the weakest
the children-instead OF on the employer
is an act OF gross injustice. Several
States have recognized the wrong and
have repealed this exception from their
statutes.
So. too. IL the Saturday half holiday
is advisable, 1T should be granted out
right and not be earned by overwork on
some other day. No exception is more
open to abuse than this one. authorizing
overwork for holiday, which IN the end
may not be granted
Finally, If the Christmas season is not
TO remain a bitter mockery for thou
sands of working children. the obnox-
;cus exception which permits overvorh
10 stores during December must be
wiped of the statutes. The wrongs of
factory children escape general attention
because comparatively few outsiders
| come in contact with them, but the gen
eral public Is in daily touch with chill
dIen working in stores. 1t is the more
disgraceful that Christmas. the season
OF joyous childrhood, should deliberately
and visibly be turned to a time OF
wretched exhaustion for large numbers
| OF children. The question arises how
standards viii tolerate this particular
cruelty.
| After the marked gains of the last
year In child labor legislation, efforts to
secure a uniform prohibition OF night
work for children under sixteen should
follow next winter. The laws of health
demand that nights unbroken by labor
without any exceptions. should be Sc
cured for children of immature years
To embody this demand In effective
statutes is. perhaps. the most imme-
dlate need In the further protection OF
working children.-Charities

Inevitable Fate of Traitors.

So rarely does the conspirator plotting
to upset throne or a government &C
quire lasting fortune, even il success at

and life, but also the stigma which
history places upon traitors.

scrupulous and desperate adventurers.
ideal!sts. or else men whose mental
balance has been temporarily impaired
by extravagant ambition or by some real
or fancied wrong. And among the rea-
sons why so few Of them ever reap any
enduring reward. is that their connection
with an act of treason Is, as / have shown
above, calculated to prejudice against
them not only their fellow citizens, but
even those for whose sake they have
plotted. besides which, If they are ideal
lists, they are, as a rule. impractical.
The Spanish Duke of Seville, who
when Tilted by Queen Isabella OF Spain.
headed a conspiracy against her. and
only escaped punishment by betraying
his confederates. was killed in a duel
in 1870, leaving his family almost des-
titute, while his slayer. the Duke de
Mortpensier, who took leading part in
the deposition OF his sister-in-law from
the throne OF Spain In 1868 in the hope
of securing possession thereof. died an
embittered and disappointed man. aware
that his name was execrated through
out the length and breadth OF the her
ian peninsula. General Prim. who also
played an important role in the busting
of Isabella, was murdered in the streets
OF Madrid, the mystery in connection
with the crime remaining unrevealed to
this day, while although more than q
hundred years have passed since King
Gustave III was deprived OF the crown
of Sweden, the families of the mobiles
who took part IN the conspiracy against
