SILENT AGENCIES FOR GOOD

The New York labor commissioner
has been investigating the welfare of
labor, not combining himself to the
mere letter Of the law, but looking
about to find establishments that are
doing better than the law.
In Investigations covering 108 es-
Establishments, employing 1921 per-
sons, he was surprised to find many
establishments that not only fulfilled
the requirements of the laws for the
safety and protection of labor, but had
really distanced the laws in their ar
rar gements for the mental, moral and
|. spiritual welfare of their employees,
To exceed the requirements of the
factory laws to the extent of provid-
ing free lectures, evening classes, free
circulating libraries, musical instruc-
ton and manual training, is a sacri-
fee that ought to entitle such employ
ers to be posted as public benefac-
tors.
Yet the labor commissioner found
several firms not only doing this, but
providing wash rooms, free reading
rooms, free lunches and various de-
vices for the elevation of those whom
they consider their charges.
The most gratifying agencies for
the betterment OF employees are those
in the direction of beneficiary funds,
caring for injured workmen and in
surance,
These and other agencies are doing
& good of which the general public
are too often kept in ignorance. Char
ity and justice are good helpmates,
IL each will only keep its place,-Bos-

LIMITATIONS OF SCIENCE.

One of the most noted of American
surgeons has startled the fellow mem
bers of his profession by his bold eH-
periments in handling the human
heart in cases of cessation OF the beat
ing of that organ under the innu'
ence of anaesthetics. He has been so
daring in desperate cases as 10 cut

THE AMERICAN HUSBAND.

An American young man does not,
as a rule, look forward to marriage
nor prepare for it by saving any con-
siderable portion of his ante-nuptial
income. When he marries 1t is usual
ly on short notice, and because he has
fallen very desperately in love with
someone and cannot find 1t in his
heart to wait until cold caution de-
clares the venture advisable. Even
when an engagement is long one he
usually squanders so much on gifts
and entertainments for his fiancee
that there is only very moderate
amount to begin housekeeping on.
Thus before his marriage the young
American of the middle-class begins
to give evidence of what is to be his
chief national characteristic as hus.
band-his unfailing, unselfsh and al
most improvident generosity.
The middle-class husband in Amer
lea rarely interferes with the affairs
of the household. He hardly knows
the cost of staple articles of food. As
rule he does not make his wife a
regular allowance either for household
or personal expenses, but gives her
as much as he can spare, freely, but
with lack of system that is not con
ducive to the best outlay of their in
come.
The young American husband is
| also very indulgent to his wife's fond
ness for fine clothes. He would fal
rather have an extravaganza wife thar
dowdy one, and although he grum
bles occasionally at a millinery bin
in reality he glories in the resplenden
appearance of his wife in her fine
! feathers. The American husband II
rare who does not concede his wife'i
right to expend a much larger sun
with her dressmaker than he doe
with his tailor. Indeed he often leaves
his tailor altogether and cheerfullS re
pairs to the ready-made clothini
house in order that his wife may hav'
more money for extravagant finery.-

The MAN WHO MADE JAPAN.

It is to the Marquis Ito that Japan
owes in very great measure the POI
sition she now holds in the world.
But for him she might be to-day sec
ond China; but for him she would as
suredly not be the rival OF Russia the
chosen ally of England.
He belongs by birth to what we
should call the lower middle-class, ana
has therefore had neither wealth nor
influential connections to give him
belning hand. None the less, at an
age when in England he would have
been counted a boy he was already
minister plenipotentiary arranging
terms of peace with the great powers
of Europe. For he had the good luck
in very early days-it was pure
niece of uck-to attract the attention
of the old Emperor Komei Yenno, VINO
was so struck by his extraordinary
ability and all-round cleverness tha'
no took his education into his OWL
hands and set to work to train him fol

be wiser TO search for him nearer

that he was cowardly, and coward

CHAPTER VII.
The Strayed Cow.

ne OtTdycu Cow.
Dolores sat in the doorway wait
sng FOR her fathers return from the
tavern. He had been to the house
while she was over the mountain, and
had his supper. She herself had eaten
nothing. for she had no appetite in
spite OF her walk over the mountain.
She was quite idle, her hands In
their old listless attitude in her lap,
her dark head resting against the
implanted door post, her grave face
and thoughtful eyes raised to the
heavens. The moonlight falling across
her face defined it clear and perfect
az marble; upon the clean bare floor
behind her lay her shadow long and
dark.
The night was silent the distant
sound Of rude singing from the tav-
ern died away; the .ghts went out
one after another in the long low
houses. Dolores began to wonder
vaguely why her father did not cone.
Midnight had passed; the hours licked
in the corner, the moon hung round
and golden above the mountain peaks
In the west; in the east a streak of
whittier light appeared, broadened and
deepened. The girls shadow disap-
lpeared from the floor; 1t lay in front
iof her on the door stone.
I The COW was cropping the grass on
the roadside. her breathing deep and
contented. Lode, the next neighbor,
came up the road with a bucket. His
well was low in this dry weather;
Johnson's well was public property at
such times.
"A sheer day" he said apologeticai-
l1y. looking at the brindle.
Dolores reused herself, slow
thought coming to her mind. Il have
been waiting for my father" she said.
us he still at the tavern?"
Lode held the bucket suspended
half way down the well; a dull sur
prise was the leading expression on
his face
Don't ye know where he went,
Dloress Warn't We hyar when he
KEN up fer his gun an started ter
hunt Their COW over yapder on Their
mounting? Their COW is hyars
where's yer feyther?"
A sudden sharp fear woke in her
n,ind; she ar,se. and faced l.pdie. the
sunlight on her head
"If he went over on the opposite
mountain to hunt Brindle and has not
returned he must have lost his road,
or gotten hurt, or something to keep
him" ''' 'A
"Yes," said Lode, slowly. An
theys want him ct Their court ter-day;
eff he amt thyar they'll KEN fer him;
theys sweared they'd hey him, fer
ther thing kyant be settled tell he
goes" ttfs
He swung the bucket up on the
edge of the well and passed down the
road in silence, his slouching hgure
like a blot on the exquisite landscape
Breakfast was ready, and Dolores
went in and set the potatoes and ba
oon at one side of the hearth; the
coffee was ready to make; she never
made that till it was ready to be
drank. When all was ready within
abe went out to the bank under the
pines. The sun was high and warm
but under the pines the shadows were
cool and dark; and there she waite'

CARS GRANDEUR.

The Russian court is the most
brilliant in the world. The court OF
Vienna has more of certain kind
of hauteur and pretensloi, but the
court at st. Petersburg is the most
gorgeous as well as the most gra-
cious and graceful. 1t has a finer art
and a more generous hospitality. Its
refined air and it's polished perfection
might well be envied and .emulated
in capitals of higher civilization.

Locomotive brotherhood.

The general chairmen of the Brotherhood
OF Locomotive Engineers committees for
all the railroads of the United States will
meet in Chicago to-day to form a general
chairmen's association, which will undoubt-
eddy become an important executive council
in the brotherhood. So far as can be ascer-
tanned, the purposes of this association will
be TO bring about uniform conditions on all
the railroads. so far as they affect en-
sineers and to circulate desirable Informal
ton regarding the railroad business and to
enable the brotherhood TO meet the general
managers association with corresponding
body of men who will be constantly in
touch with the engineers in all parts of the
United States. The Brotherhood of Loco
motive Engineers now has $4,000 members
The convention of the brotherhood will be
held at Los Angeles, Cal, in May, and the
choice for successor to L. NJ. Arthur will
be one of the important questions. The
meeting of chairmen at Chicago will have
some bearing upon the manipulation of con-
vention politics. Warren L. Stone, tenn
porarily grand chief, is one of the candi-
dates for election and II. f. Will, of the
Northwestern, is being urged for the posi-
ton by the younger of the locomotive en-
gineers. Mr.. Will declares he is not a cam
didate, but there is considerable agitation
in his favor
