The MotOrmRn' Hard Lot.

Rev. W. S. Rainsford, the we'll known
New York clergyman, has been inves-
tisating the conditions under which
motormen are obliged to work. He
says:
Zone cold. sleety day | made up my
mind that | would find out for myself
what their suffering was like. I rode
from Twenty-third street to Seventy
second street with the motorman. and
then I was out Of it. BY that time
was not only wet through on the legs,
but at the chest as well. Now. am
a young man. only tifty-three years
old, and it didn't hurt me- The motor
man told me, however, that he had
done that for eleven hours. l believed
him God knows did not care to

For the money he gets he suffers
too much He should be at least as
well paid as are the men who run the
engines on our great railroads"

ne 1H1hebe Looming I p.
According to the following dispatch
from Washington there is strong posi-
Dility that the American labor move
ment viii soon have on its hands an
other fight on the question of the adj
mission of cody labor to the country:
ut transpires, despite the efforts of
the administration to keep the grave
fact longer secret, that last December
the imperial Chinese government for
mally denounced the existing treaty
with the United States. and SO the CON
vention will expire by limitation Dec
Z, This will be speedily followed by q
act as q repeal of the present exclusion
act IN every respect wherein treaty
and statute may clash.
while much rcticonce is observed
as to the lines upon which TIE new
convention is being framed there is
reason to believe that it will be more
liberal in the treatment Of Chinese
wishing to enter the United States
when they are not actually of the cody
class, than the existing treaty. There
may also be made provision for the en-
try Of Chinese laborers into the Pana-
ma canal strip, though that is not Ger
tain. An attempt has been made to
avail of this opportunity to make more
extensive use Of Chinese labor in the
Philippines"

Machines Versus Men.

Ernest II, Crosby tells of a factory
he inspected in America where the
manufacture of cheap socks was car
ried on. The manager showed him
400 machines that did the entire work
Of making & sock without the aid Of
human hand. The machines run TWEEN
ty-four hours In day. and only fifty
boys are needed for all shifts. Five
thousand dozen Of socks are made
daily. Under the old method this work
would have required $4,000 men.

WHAT SHE WAS THINKING.
And There Was Nothing Of Disap.
pointment in Her Thoughts
for MI. Snodgrass.-

"May I cherish a hope, Ella, dear
that you will become my wife, the
partner of my joys and sorrows, my
constant companion through this vale
If ~tears?"
Miss S%pudkins did not answer. TIeI
fair head was slightly bent. The color
came and went on her dainty checks
Her hands were claspcd and lay upon
her lap, relates London Tit-Bits,
Nr. S~nodgrass seized one of them
~passiOnately and kissed it. Then he
spoke again: This avowal Of love can.
not come to you as a surprise, Ella
My devotion to you knows no bounds
1t has a fathomless depth and an i'm.
measurable height. Do you not return
1t in some m%easure?"
Still Miss S%pudkins spoke not. Her
eyes seemed to be studying the pattern
Of the carpet.
will you not speak the word which
shall betrOth our souls for all time and
for all eternity? l feel, my precious
one, as though We were predestined
for each other, and that our love will
last while c~easeless ages roll. Tell me
you love me, darling"
She did not tell him, and Mr.. Snod-
grass resumed:
eve have know each other since We
were children, Ella, dear. This is no
sudden fancy of mine. l loved you
when you were learning to talk, and
my love deepened and strengthened as
you gradually acquired that accom-
plishment. Now my affection Is one
that has gathered strength through
the years until it will not be denied.
II will not take mo- for an answer.
Ella, love, why don't you reply? Speak
the word which will make me the
happiest of mortals." q .tif
Yet there was no answer from the
fair young girl at whose feet was thus
laid the heart of a brave young man;
and Mr.. Snodgrass one more adj
dressed her: ~
Il know that silence gives ccrecct,
but I'd rather hear from your lips The
little yes to my plea. Why do you not
answer me?" nlt.t
Il was thinking, Thomas" Ella re-
piled at last, and there was ineffable
tenderness in her tones; "of course l
love you. l think you were reasonably
sure of that, dear, but l was thinking
=" And again the far-away look came
into her eyes.
Thinking of what, dear?"
Il was thinking whether I should
better have my visiting cards engraved
Mrs. E. Spudkins-Snodgrass' or Mrs.
Thomas Jefferson S~nodgrass. Which
Is the more stylish, dear?"

AFGHAN FEUDS ARE MANY.
Whole Families Wiped Out by Bitter
Warfare Between the Venge-
fui Members.

In Afghanistan the people are good
haters. The blood feud exists in all At
chan tribes, says the Chicago Daily
News. When a murder occurs the
avenger does not limit his reprisal to
the murderer, but kills any relative that
comes handy. This, in turn, calls for a
counter attack, and in time matters be-
come so complicated that whole families
are wiped out. When the tribe is called
upon to meet a common enemy the
heads of the families who have had a
quarrel bury two stones side by side in
the presence of the mullah, as symbol
lcal of the feud being put out of sight
during the public danger. When af-
fairs revert to their normal state the
stones are solemnly disinterred and the
two parties are free to go on shooting
at each other again.
Every Afghan village of moderate
means owns a tower of refuge stand
ing at the rne of his courtyard.
These towers, made of stone and mud.
are perfectly solid for the lower 20 feet
or SO, the top being surrounded by a

make it habitable. The base is protect
ed by a gallery, and the only means of
ascent is by a rope and a hole Just
large enough for one man to crawl
through. Whenever a man has made
things too hot for himself he takes
refuge in his tower, and by the unwrit-
ten law of the country he can never be
starved out so long as food and water
are brought to him by a woman.
A traveller in Afghanistan tells of
seeing one tower of refuge whose occu-
pant had not stirred outside for ten
years. His only amusement was talk
ing shots at the occupant of another
tower, which were duly returned. In
the meantime their wives visited each
other and gossiped and were on terms
of perfect amity.

WAR ON RATS AND RAVENS.
Large Sum of Money to Be Spent by
France in Campaign Of Ex-
termination. ,

The minister of agriculture. NJ.
Mougeot, has asked for $50, 900 francs
to be voted by the chamber, with which,
he proposes to combat the plague of rats
iron which a corne of the Department
OF C~aarentes is suffering, says a recent
Paris report. The damage done by these
little rodents to the crops of cereals
last season was so great that the cam.
palgn to be waged by M. Mougeot has
the hearty support of all the farmers OF
the district thus attacked. The means
to be employed for their destruction is
a poison to be provided by the scientists
of the Pasteur Institute.
But the work of destruction does not
stop at the rats. The farmers have petit
toned for help in getting rid also of the
ravens magpies which prey upon
the game, and part of the $50, 900 francs
demanded from the nation will be ap-
propriated for this purpose.
The ravens are, however, by no means
an unqualified pest, for they have re-
Gently done a good turn to the market
gardeners of the District of Argenteuil.
The vast beds of that fat kind of as
paragus which goes by the name of the
district, and which is so highly es-
teemed as a table luxury, was last sea-
son attacked by a mysterious disease
which ravaged acres Of plants. Just as
the young plants were approaching ma
turity they hung their heads and wilted
down, and the growers were in despair.
Acres of land were ruined and the loss
was great.
Then it was noticed that flocks of ra-
vens constantly descended upon the af-
fected beds ard carried on a lively wal
upon a kim of fly, specimens of which
were sent up to the Sorhonne to be ex-
amined. This fly was found to be the
cause of the mischief. The abdomen
is furnished with a sting with which the
creature perforates the stalk of the as
paragus, depositing its eggs in the pune
ture. Millions of larvae were thus laid
ard, quickly Matching out, ravaged the
beds, entirely destroying the plants.
Deprived by Mr.. Mougeot of the good
services of the ravens, the gardeners
will endeavor to check the spread of the
disease by pulling up and burning the
affected plants.
