Burns turned back toward the shore,

"I am sorry to see you drown" Burns

NO CHILD LABOR HERE.
Great Mills in Russia Where Every
Interest Of the Employees Seems
to Be Conserved.

The great Jaroslaw mills were
founded in 1872 by Jaroslaw mer-
chant named Zatrapezny, according to
the suggestion and plans Of Peter the
Great, who allotted free tract Of land,
at the time an impossible swamp, for
the erection of the factory near the
city of Jaroslaw Through the energy
and perseverance of Mr.. Zatrapezny the
swamp was drained and made mt for
the erection of the linen and paper
mills. In 1857 the factory, with all its
land and privileges, was purchased by
the Moscow merchant, Mr.. Karzinkin,
who erected on the place formerly oc-
cupied by the paper factory a cotton
mill for 10000 spindles, which was the
foundation of the present great enter
prise. With the growth of the enter
prise the proprletors introduced the
most improved machinery, and now
they run about 100000 spindles and
more than 5000 weaving looms, with
the necessary number of auxiliary and
supplementary machines, employing
some $4,000 people, Of whom about 60
per cent. are male Child labor under
Is years of age is very little employed
and only graduates OF the factory

factory there has sprung up a city
with population of about 100000 This
factory is one of the largest in Rus
STA, with a consumption of about 10O,-
900 bales of cotton each year.
One of the principal aims Of the fac
tory administration is to furnish the
working people and their families with
medical assistance, to improve the
working devices and methods for the
protection of the working people from
accidents, to educate the children Of
employees, and finally to offertotheem-

ployes every opportunity of spending
their time in pleasant and sensible
manner in order to prevent their fall
ing victims to strong drink. In regard
to sanitary conditions and hygiene,
council is organized, consisting Of
members Of the technical administra-
ton and the physicians of the factory
hospital. The work of this council is
to find means of preventive character
which will improve the general sani-
tary surroundings Of the working man
and consequently lessen the possibili-
ties Of sickness. Special attention is
paid to the prevention of accidents to
workers while attending machines. The
working rooms are light, airy and
large, the machines are distributed
with regard to leaving sufficiently wide
passageways, all dangerous parts of
machines are covered, and for the
guidance Of employees special printed
rules are posted on the walls. Each
newcomer is permitted to work only

The factory has on its premises three
churches, the renovation alone and en-

finished, has cost the company more
than $150,000 The church choirs con-
sist of employees of the factory. Special
attention is given to schools for the
children of employees Of the factory.
The largest Of these schools, for 600
pupils, is provided with a hall for lee
lures, with seating capacity for 500
people and quarters for teachers. For
girl graduates from this school special
needlework and sewing classes are es-
tablished, also evening classes for
adults over II years of age. In the

eony, and three rows of seats, and also
a stage with settings and decorations.
each Sunday and holidays there are
lectures with stereopticon pictures for
adults and children. In this hall are
held also theatrical entertainments
given by the employees.

TITLES OF DOUBTFUL ORIGIN
Many of Those in Use In England
Would Be Shaken by Close
Scrutiny.

Continental titles save Of the highest
sort have been viewed with suspicion
in this country, according to the Spring
field, Mass, Republican, but those Of
England have been accepted with almost
as implicit faith as Bank of England
notes inspire. Yet the herald's college
lately made the remarkablea assertion that
many persons are using bogus titles in
England and that Others are using titles
to which they have not established their
claim and probably could not bring any
satisfactory proofs. And the editor Of
Dod's Peerage admits that there are be-
tween Sc and go baronesess whose
claims would not bear too close scrutiny.
For example, an ambitious retired
business man named Smith may find In
some secluded part of the country some
lands formerly owned by some extinct
family Of Smiths who had possessed
title. He buys the property, quietly
claims descent and coolly assumes the
title. In London such a course would
probably be exposed, but in the country
people are less suspicious. Nor is such
imposture, it seems, contrary to English
law. 1t appears also that many of the
titles which enjoy long standing were
assumed in some such way, perhaps CEN
turtles ago, and owe whatever validity
they have to long use A general scru-
tiny Of English titles might be very
painful thing.

DEATH WATCH OVER SEWER

said the lawyer from the Stock Elk

BILE workman, according to the Chicago
Record Herald. The electrician was
sitting on tool box beside manhole
at Washington and LaSalle streets when
the lawyer interrupted him. He looked
up, and then with a faint smile said:

Of the dangers which beset conduit men

Old Sam hesitated a moment, then,
as his fingers gave another slip, he
said:

boat over and threw old Sam into 1t

there are other forms of mischief trace
able to the cigarette which are more Sc

by the end Of cigarette carelessly
dropped through street grating. How
many other fires, big and little, have
been started in the same way no one

ProphecY of a GYpsy.

The story Of THE Three Sisters Of
Denmark sounds like a fairy story,
but all the same 1t is devoutly be-
lieved by the natives of the little
northern kingdom. The three sisters"
are now the Queen CT England, the
Dowager Czarina and the Duchess of
Cumberland, but they started in life
as girls in very plain, simple house
hold So poor was this royal family
that for a daughter to have two
dresses in the course of one year was
considered great good luck. Still. they
were brought up as ladies and prin-
cesses should be. Once upon a time
and here one can feel the delicious
fairy feeling creeping in--the three
princesses were taking their usual
walk in their solemn Danish woods,
when they fell in with gyrsy, WHO
insisted on telling them their for
tunes.
you are to become queen over one
of the largest kingdoms of the earth, !"
she told the first young girl And to-
day she is Queen CT England. And
you. too" she told the second. you
will become queen, but a queen
without kingdom" was her mes
sage to TIE third daughter. who is
now Duchess of Cumberland. but
might have been queen had her hus-
band not yielded his claim to the
throne Of Hanover.
