Takes Children in Pawn.

An Engllshman makes an excellent
living by receiving children in pawn.
The parents of the child are In want
of money, perhaps to pay debt or a
fine. Their goods and chattels are
practically worthless, and there is
nothing upon which they can realize
any cash. They accordingly place the
child 'in pawn"-that is, allow the
"pawnbroker" to have the services OF
the boy or girl for certain period
in return for sum Of money Of
course, the amount paid is nothing
near commensurate with the work the
child does; but the parents think only
of the immediate advance.

/. A GOOD LAMP.

During the months when the daylight
dims at half-past 4, and long even
ings make it necessary oftentimes to
do sewing or reading at night. the
house mother must take are to see
that the light in the study and family
sitting-room is good and so avoid
trying the eyes of the members of her
family.
A good lamp is without doubt the
softest light for tired eyes, and when
a good lamp is secured it is still mere
necessary to keep it in good order.
Not only is the odor of Oil most UNI
pleasant, but a poorly trimmed wick
is a destroyer of a fair light and there
is no good reason why either fault
should occur.
In the first place, the are Of the
lamps should never be left to inexperi-
enced workers, and a woman did well
recently to give the care of the lamps
as a duty for one Of her daughters to

Suddenly, out Of the darkness, five
feet Of black mamba hurled itsen

paralyzed, and then one of the occu.
pants seized hold Of the most handy
weapon and flung it at the intruder.
It happened to be a water bag and
the snake received a cold douche,
which was evidently not to its liking,

Arc the Packers Receiving Fair Play3
When the Garfield report on the
business methods of the packers ap-
peared, after eight months investiga-
ton, it was severely criticised and
roundly denounced. After three months
of publicity it is significant that those
who attempted to discredit it have
failed to controvert the figures coz
tanned in that exhaustive document.
The public is beginning to notice this
omission, and the feeling is rapidly
growing that the sensational charges
out Of which the Beef Investigation"
arose were without foundation. II the
official statements of the report are
susceptible of contradiction, a good
many people are now asking why the
facts and figures are not furnished to
contradict them.
The truth seems to be that most of
the charges contain unfounded sensa-
tional assertions. A fragrant example
Of this appeared in a recent article in
forty Iowa banks were forced to close
their doors in 1904 by the Beef
Trusts manipulation of cattle prices"
Chief Clerk Cox, Of the banking de-
partment Of the Iowa State Auditors
Office, has tabulated the list of banks
given in the magazine article and has
publicly denounced the statement as
utterly untrue. He gives separately
the reasons for each failure mentioned
and officially states that they have
been caused by unwise speculations and
by reckless banking methods. It may
be we'll to suspend judgment upon the
packers until the charges against them
are proved.
