strikes, and that most of its troubles are settled by arbitration,
 As to women's trades unions, Miss Steghagen writes that their objects are rational number of working hours, fair wages and the elimination of child labor. She says that in some parts of the country the shoe factories work their hands nine hours per day and in others ten. Piecework is most com mon. and $10 week is considered a medium wage for experienced workers. Tn her trade the hours are the same for women as for men. and some wo- men earn quite as much as the men. She thinks woman a good striker. but advises strikes only as a last resort. She says that organization has greatly benefited her trade. She believes that women's unions will steadily grow, and that in time they will cover every branch of woman's work, even to the servant girl. About 30 per cent of the boot and shoe workers are women.
 The Glove Make.
 Among the most interesting of the women's trades unions Is that of the glove workers. They have branches in Gloversville, N r.; in Chicago and in other glove making centers. As to this union, I have h Ietter from Miss Agnes Nestor, a member of the exec uItVS DOdTu OI ln6 GIONe Workers Union of America, from which I abstract the following:
 "9love making consists of fine work and heavy work. Most of the fine work is on kid gloves. which are made in the east and chiefly at Gloversville, N. Y. This work requires considerable skill, and 1t pays well. It is done by the piece, and the wages depend upon the speed of the worker. The heavy Aa. of horse hide, calf skin, buckskin, etc. This is mainly done Tn the west and is divided up into different crafts. There is one branch known as Closing" which is most difficult to learn, and which pays best, the girls receiving 20 cents an hour for it. Men receive the same wages"
 Women and Trades Unions.
 Miss Nestor writes that her trades union has done much for the glove workers of Chicago. The union there has been organized only two years. and 1t has already secured the 'closed | shop" and the Saturday half holiday | during the summer months. It has abolished the system of paying 80 | cents per week per operator for the use of steam power. and has gained | other things. The same advantages l have been secured in othor parts of the country.
 Miss Nestor says that 1t is as neces- sary for a woman to belong to a trades lnion as 1t is for a man, and that 1t loes not unsex woman nor make her masculine. She writes:
 We will keep our womaply dignity through 1t all. We now have our own ocals. We transact our own business lnd we have shown that we can be business like as we'll as the men. We Ire sure that the time will come when women will have the same hours of work as men, and when they will re- ,eive the same pay for the same work

FAMILY OF RUSSELL.

News of Attempted Escape Told to His
 Father.
 The Cincinnati Post of May 10. tells how the father of J. E. Russell, the convicted safeblower received the news of his attempted escape by jumping from a window of the Mont gomery county court house:
 The Post says:
 Tt would be better for the boy if he were dead"
 In faltering tones and with lips that trembled pitifully Michael Callahan. 1072 Wilstach street, father of J. Ed ward Callahan, alias J. E. Russell, al- legged safe blower, injured Tuesday in attempting to escape from the court house at Montgomery, Ala, referred to his son. The young man jumped about thirty feet from a second-story win dow, and his foot was broken.
 The trial of Albert Cammeyer, alias Drlscoll, alias Duncan, of New York, said to be Callahan's partner, was in progress at the time.
 Please don't let my sister know" he moaned, when lifted from the ground. You know how women are, and she thinks the world of mew
 An instant after this enunciation the father, a big, strong man, filled with love and pity for the wayward boy, bowed his head over the spring flow CTS he was tending, and wept hopeless Iy. Poor Eddy" he murmured, between choking sobs. We must keep this from May and mother It would kill themw
 May Callahan Is the sister, whose love and prayers have followed her brother from innocent boyhood through all the offenses that have landed him In prison.
 The old father was digging in the flower beds of the neatly kept yard at Callahan's home when told by The Post of his sons attempted escape.
 "Eddy's in the South; he writes to us three times a week." he declared proudly before he heard of his sons ac- cident.
 On reading the message he was stunned.

THE CAUSE OF wRrNKLEs.

It Is we'll known that the passions
 give rise to contraction of the muscles of the face and thereby produce mo-
 mentary ridges and furrows. These soon become precocious wrinkles in
 persons whose minds are much agitat- ed. for the muscles, instead of contract ing momentarily, retain their exagger- ated contraction. Thus constant refIec-
 ton forms deep vertical wrinkles be-
 tween the eyebrows; hatred and the expression of hate cause small horizon
 tai wrinkles across the bridge of the nose. grief depPesses the corners of the mouth. As the expressive muscles at the two extremities of the mouth move the skin of the face they draw nearer by contracting their points of insertion and wrinkle the skin, which has be-
 come too full, in direction almost per- pendicular to their Tenth. Nothing of this sort is observed in youth Thc skin covers the tissues uniformly. Be- ing perfectly elastic, 1t returns to its original place as soon as the contract tion is over. In old age the contrary is the case; the skin loses its elasticity and becomes fiaccid. and the muscles act upon 1t as on n piece of loose can vas. As the formation of wrinkles de- bends at the same time on the state of the skin and on the tension of the mus cles. MT. Felix Regnault of Paris de- duces from the fact a double indication as to the mode of treating them In the first place, he says, a strict atten- ton should be paid to the working of the skin by means of douches, massage and sweating. It should be borne in mind that good hygienic treatment re- tards the aging of the skin by means of douches, massage and sweating; 1t should be borne in mind that good hy- gienic treatment retards the aging of the skin as well as that of the other organs. Moreover. the contractions of the face should be as far as possible avoided by expressing all violent emo tIons and cultivating calmness and se- renity of mind. Here is has been shown that the influence of the moral on the physical nature of many is undeniable peaceful life does not cause wrinkles
