GERMAN FACTORY LIFE.
From the New York World:

Work commences in Germany at $50 or
o'clock IN the morning and usually stops
at the corresponding hour in the even-
ing, writes John Callan O'Loughlin in the
November Worlds Work
The workman has quarter of an hour
for breakfast, from an hour to an hour
and a half at noon for dinner, and a
quarter Of an hour in the afternoon for
tea. Sometimes, and in some factories,
the breakfast period is not authorized,
sometimes afternoon tea is omitted. The
average length of the days work is ten
hours In the textile industry it may be
a" quarter of an hour longer.
The care of women and children has
concerned the state far more than the
hours Of the male workers. Night work
for women is prohibited nor can they
remain in the shops after $50 Satur-
day afternoon or on the eve of a holiday.
The law fixes the maximum Of the wom-
ans working day at eleven hours, except
on Saturday and the day preceding hol-
days, when it is ten hours A midday rest
of one hour is compulsory, and women
with household cares may claim an extra
half hour.

AS TO EATING RICE.
rom the New York Press:

From the New York Press:
Coils P. Huntington once told me
that the best workers he ever had on
his railroads were Chinese. They lived
on rice The Japanese are proving
themselves great warriors and have de-
veloped a marvellous intelligence. COM
bined with: physical prowess never
dreamed of by white nations. They live
on rice. We hear that 100000 public
school children in New York are un-
derfed. Do their parents know enough
to feed them on rice? A pound OF the
best rice costs 8 cents and will make
four good meals for family Of five.
The Chinese and Japanese do not eat
their rice with butter or gravy. A
little salt is the only seasoning. Italians
eat great quantities of rice. They are
sturdy nation. We throw rice after
newly welded couples; let us throw a
little down the outlets Of our underfed
school children.

.0UT:.:F0R. GOOD ROADS
People Get Much Hope: From
Position of r. c.. Dunn in.
His West Duluth Speech. :
J. A. Johnson's Sneering Refer
-: ence. to Dunn's Position
Shows His Attitude.

John A. Johnson, the Democratic
candidate for governor, in commenting
upon speech made by Robert G. Dunn,
the Republican candidate for governor
at West Duluth, Aug: e., sneered at
a statement made by Mr.. Dunn re-
garding the necessity for the construc-
ton Of good roads in Northern Mime
sofa. Apparently Mr.. Johnson failed
to comprehend the facts and figures
quoted by Mr. Dunn at that time or to
appreciate the Importance that the
construction Of good roads is for the
settlers of the partially developed coun-
ties in the Northern portion Of the
state. Mr.. Johnson passed off the
question with a clippant remark that
the bicycle people would take care of
that Mr.. Dunn on the other hand
expressed himself as strongly in favor
OF securing better legislation to con-
struct better roads where needed and in
the speech referred to ne said: 1.-THE
only state fund available for the i'm
provement Of roads is the interest de-
rived from the internal improvement
land fund Of about $2s0,0o0 and the 5
per cent Of the proceeds of the sale Of
government lands; the receipts Of the
latter source will diminish gradually
as the area Of public lands decreases.
This fund is FILTERED away among the
several counties Of the state by piece
meal appropriations, and the public
derives but very little benefit there
from. In my judgment this fund
should be used for the construction of
roads in the sparsely settled dis tricts.
A constitutional amendment adopted
in 1898 which provides for a tax Of
not to exceed one-twentieth of one mill

THE HIGHER CRITICISM.

From Blackwoods Magazine:
The critics insist that the Bible must
be treated like any other book, and
to this plausible sophistry their sue
cess is largely due. Were it not that
the great majority of persons who are
charged in our criminal courts are of
a low type, and experience proves that
they are charged justly, the practice
of putting, accused persons in the dock
would be deemed an outrage upon JUS
tice. 1t seldom fails, indeed, to Gre
ate prejudice. Happily however, an
Irish story which illustrates this is
only an Irish story! 1t is worth telling,
however, for it's own sake. The evil
dence against 1.-The prisoner. broke down
so obviously that the judge without a
word of comment, told the the rustic
jury to give their verdict. Without a
moments hesitationi they convicted
him. 3ir and ID r. answer Z IT, the Judges in

ever would he: he msthe. dock for if
J. he wasn't gutlty!" -. -:
A Scotche story will 'exemplify the ap-
plication of the principle in another
sphere. A great lady; Of high rank and
ancient lineage, offended by Aberne-
thys proverbial brusqueness, asked
with immense dignity if he knew who
she was. "Ma'am," he blurted out,
you're just an old woman with a
disordered stomach"
In view Of the history of the sacred
books, every true critic will, recognize
presumption in their favor. For such
a presumption differs from a prejudice.
But the pseudo critics insist on treat
ing them much as the Irish jury. treat
ed the prisoner and the Edinburgh doc
tor the patient.

NEW USE OF WATERFALLS
rom the New York VDor11.

The lesson of the use of Niagara Falls
for genera ting electricity has been put to
worldwide applications. Throughout the
world falling water, according to a paper
read before the British Association by
Mr.. Campbell Swinton yields to man S
use an energy equal TO 1,4s3,39O horsepow-
err, of which Great Britain figures for
only 11,906 horsepower.
The British Aluminium Co. gets 1000
horsepower from the falls of Foyers, and
it is expected to presently procure 1900
horsepower from Loeb Leven. The North
Wales Electric Power Company is about
to tap Lake Llydaw, on Snowdon, and
hopes to obtain $500 horsepower for every
working day of nine hours. Finally, the
Scotch Water Power Syndicate is peering
round in quest Of waters that 1t can i'm
prison at lofty levels and so generate
electric power. From Loeb Sloy, ISL feet
above Loeb Lomond, it is going to get
$500 horsepower, and at Ardlui, higher up,
1t proposes to get further energy. Even
modest stream that drops several hun
dred feet may be a source of power.

OYSTERS.
From the New York World:

From the New York World:
Interesting experiments made in the
Lancet labratory show the great digesti-
b.lity Of the oyster. When the oyster was
crushed and placed In cold water about
half Of the solid matter was dissolved
When the oyster was was placed uncrus}1-
ed In the same medium one fourth Of its
solid matter was dissolved. 1t is believed
that If the oyster be chewed more than
half Of it Is dissolved in the mouth.
Cold water appears to be the best thing
to drink with oysters. But chabl.s Is very
good, dissolvtng IS per cent of the sole
matter Of the oyster.
What are the solids in the oyster:
They are the proteids corresponding tc

like sugar, and when wanted for use it is
changed into sugar. It is the substance
which makes the oyster sweet in the
mouth.
But there are other valuable constitu-
ents Of the oyster-what are called the
glycero-phosphorics compounds Medical
men prescribe these for improving the
nervous system, so that diet of oysters
is unquestionably good for the nerves.

When it was over there was a mer.
ry clash of bells, apparently coming
from the very air about us, and when
we looked in establishment to see the
reason, we found that an older bow
had begged and borrowed all the bells
ne could, of every kind, and had set
them going in the various rooms of
the house, as soon as the ceremony
was nnished and the merry congratua,

drew to our plates at the conclusion
OF the meal. we found each an ex.

leaves and bits of coral for berries.
as souvenirs from our bride.
Dancing came next, to the music Of
stringed orchestra stationed some.
where out of sight, and through the
drawing room, halls and dining room
we whirled. counting the moments
only by our flying footsteps.
1t was half-past eleven before we
stopped. and then only at a signal
from the band. This was no less than
march-or rather, the Christmas
hymn played in march time, and stop.
ping our waltz suddenly, we wondered
what it meant. until Katherine and
her husband. taking the lead, beckoned
us to follow in procession. Wonder.
ing little, we did so, and found our.
selves led through the hall across to
the library doors. which had been re.
hgiously closed all evening. rather to
our surprise, since we needed. the
extra dancing place. Katherine flung
open the doors and a moment of
amazed silence ensued. There in the
middle of the room stood a magnifi.
cent Christmas tree, hung from root
to top with glittering .emblems Of the
season and aglow with myriads of
tapers fastened to its branches. AT
signal from Katherine's brother, the
electric lights in the hall and dining
room went out and we found ourselves
with nothing to detract from the IA,
diant solendor of the symbolic tree.

full archway of ferns and poinsetta was
erected by the florists under Eliza
beth's direction, and from the middle
of the arch cluster of bells. also of
scarlet, was hung in position like q
chime.
The wedding was planned to occur
at half past seven, and just at quar-.
ter past the chimes of the church at
the corner began their hour of music,
SO that we had this sweet accompani-
ment to the ceremony.
Promptly at half-past seven we
emerged from the room upstairs
where we had been dressing. since the
early five o'clock dinner, and we could
see for ourselves as we went slowly
down the broad stairway that the
scene was beautiful one. First In
the procession walked the four small.
est nephews and nieces of the bride,
two by two, the girls wearing frocks
OF white with scarlet ribbon in their
hair and carrying baskets of holly,
the boys in red, each with a branch
OF evergreen. Then went Katherine,
dressed in white cleaning satin. with
bunch of mistletoe fastening her
veil. and white vellum prayer book
IN her hand. Then we girls, six of
us. walked. two by two. each dressed
in white, but wearing crowns of frost
ed holly and carrying great armful
of poinsetta blossoms from which long
streamers of scarlet ribbon hung to
the edge of our gowns.
From the foot Of the stairs to the
sides OF the archway two other nieces,
also dressed in white and scarlet,
stretched lines of glistening white
satin ribbon. in which small lunches
of molly were knotted at intervals, and
through this enclosed pathway the
bride walked to the improvised altar.
leaning on her brothers arm. Dur
ing the ceremony the sound Of an
organ playing the sweet old Christmas
hymn. "Adeste Fideles," penetrated
the room. and continued while the sol.
emn words of the marriage service
were spoken, making a most beautiful
accompaniment for the scene.
