The Chiid-Labor Problem .

After all that has been said in just
depreciation Of child labor, it is encour-
aging to learn, from a recent labor bu-
reau bulletin, that the conditions in
this respect are not so bad as many
have been led to believe. According
to this Showing there are employed in
the productive industries of the coun-
tries 1,752,1SI children under sixteen
years of age, while on the farms and
in agricultural pursuits generally this
number is greatly exceeded. and chill
dren working on farms and in gardens
form about sixty per cent. of the total
number engaged in remunerative nj
ployment. This docs not mean that the
agitation against child labor in factor
les has been needless and ineffective,
but the information is important in in
dicating that abuses Of this sort are
not so widespread and formidable that
they may not be overcome in. the near
future by proper laws and the force of
enlightened public sentiment.-Leslie's

A Personal Favor of the Court.

One Of the most picturesque figures
of the New York bar was the late
Thomas Nolan, a lawyer, whose witty
retorts furnished subjects for merri-
ment at many a lawyers gathering.
Now, Nolan was at n time counsel
for a poor widow who was suing a
construction company for the death OF
her husband. The case had been
placed upon the day calendar. but had
been frequently postponed. and Mrs.
Moriarity by the time she had made
her fifth call was in an exceedingly
disturbed frame of mind. consequently
the tones Of Nolan's rich brogue were
more than usually fervid as he fought
against the sixth adjournment.

good cause for the adjournment, Mr..
Nolan, and the case will, therefore. so

The Early Use OF Dolls.

France. which has always made fas.
HONS for the world. started the custom
of sending a doll off to Vienna. TO
Italy and to England, whenever a
fresh fashion came in, and the arrival
OF these Srands courriers dc IN mode
was an event Of the utmost import
ance. Even when the British ports
were closed in war time, special per-
mission was given for the entrance OF
this messenger from France. MERCER
speaks thus h~umorouslS about it:
1T is from Paris that the most i'm
portant inventions in fashion give the
law to the universe. The famous doll,
that precious puppet, shows the latest
modes. One passes from Paris to Lon.
don every month, and from there goes
to expand grace to all>the empire. II
goes north and south. it penctrates to
ConStantinople and TO st. Petersburg,
and the pleat which is made in Paris
by a French hand is repeated by every
nation who is 4 humble observer of the
taste of the RE st. Honore.'
Perhaps this is the custom. reflected
in Venice. where at the annual fair
held in the Plaza Of st. Mark or Ascen.
sion day. a doll is always exhibited
whose dress and laces serve as q model
for the fashions Of the year.
The earliest dolls brought to Amer.
lea from abroad undoubtedly came as
mere fashion plates, and only became
playthings when they had served their
first purpose.-Nancy v. McClelland, in

WESTWARD.
BY MABEL EARL4

Beyond the murky rim of hills
Where fading city sunsets glow.
Tonight a robin swings and trills
In one tall cottonwood I know:
The shadows flung from branch and stem
Along the yellow sandbar rest
I shut my eyes to dream OF them,
Here in my window, looking west
The shadows lengthen on the sand.
The log-built barn across the way
Throws wide it's doors on either hand
1 Beneath the rafters piled with hay;
The palings of the gray corral
Glimmer and waver in that light
Above the sleepy brown canal,
Out yonder on the ranch tonight.
Far off that sunset glory sleeps
On level benchlands golden brown.
Where browsing slow along the sleeps
One after one the COW come down;
And on their homeward pilgrimage
Each %trampling hoof and horny crest
Shakes perfume from the tufted sage
Oh. far faint incense of the west!
Tonight, ! know, beyond the rim
Where all my prairie sunsets tade.
Gods far white mountains look to Him
Clad in His glory, unafraid;
The solemn light OF peak and scaur.
The clear, still depths of cloudless air,
The trembling silver of a star
What would I give to see them there:
The mountains call me back. to lay
NV weakness on their boundless might;
The canons call me home to pray
In silent stainless shrines' tonight;
). Yet here in dusty mart and street
I shut mine ears against their call
D.. Content to find my exile sweet
With love that recompenses all.
