Of all American iron masters, the man
who paid the lowest wages, and who
would never agree to any kind Of COM
promise, retired from business after
less than twenty-five years Of indepen-
dent control of his business with a
capital of over four hundred million
dollars, while his chief lieutenant
mot Mr.. Schwab) is now rated to be
worth one hundred million dollars, and
while five or six others of his former
lieutenants are many times multi-mil-
lionaires. How many other millions
have been paid for the securing Of IA
vOrable legislation and government
contracts, we may guess at-know it
we never will. And as to the heads of
the railroad concerns who control the
antrhacite coal mines, we know that
they are enormously wealthy. But the
poor ironmaster who cleared only four
hundred million dollars, and who never
at any time employed more than 1900
men in his combined plants, could not
afford to allow these men an occasional
increase in wages of ten per cent. 1t

English Bathing Act.

proved by an Act recently
passed in Great Britain "to sane
ton mixed bathing in the
Thames, between Lower and West
minister Bridges, from dawn to sunset"
This measure, fathered by Mr.. John
Burns, and designed primarily to give
the inhabitants Of the Sums of May
fair and Park Lane an opportunity to
indulge in the natatory art, has at
length passed the House of Lords sue
cessfully. Mr.. Burns will be remem-
bered as the author of the famous bill
to restrict the use of knee-breeches to
those who can either boast natural, or
purchase artificial, calves, which re-
ceived the kings veto after passing
both Houses.
The Bathing Act, Of which I propose
to give some account, since reform
measures are Of interest to all Anglo
Saxons, was fortunately enatled to
command q space of three weeks for
discussion in the House of Commons,
there being nothing more important
pending at the time than the Indian
Budget, the proposal to import negroes
from the United States to work the
mines in South Africa and the butter
ing of the Colonies Bill. Thanks to
the energy of Mr.. Burns and the
hearty support of Mr.. Laboucher, who
advanced. the weighty argument that
members would be enabled by this
measure to divert their friends on the
Terrace by diving contests. the bill
was passed, in spite Of the protests of
the Irish members, who saw in it an
insidious menace, all the more insid-
ious because concealed. to the principle
of Home Rule.
In the Lords, its path was less diff
cult. The members of that noble body
were the first to observe the advantages
which would accrue to them personally,
and thru them, of course, to the
empire, for, naturally, any benefit re-
ceived by q hereditary legislator is in
varisbly handed on to the common
people.
In considering this measure, it
should be borne in mind that, until
its passage, the only communication

CLEVER MOTHER WOOD-DrcK.

How does th2 mother woOd-duck get her
brood of y To Is ducklngs from her hol-
low tree to the creek? asks Julian Bur
roughs in June Country Life in America
Hunters, fishermen ana nature students
have tried to answer this question, AMI
many are the guesses at the riddle. Nj.
William Brewster watched an American
goiden-2Ye that had nest in n hollow
tres overhangng the water, until he heard
her, after she had made an inspection Of
the Sourroundings, utter a "quack' that
brought her brood pell-mcll out of the
tree and tumhling down into the water.
\ recent magazine writer says he has seen
the young ducks climb out of the hollow,
down the tree, and walk to the water
which was nearby. Others believe thai
the mothor carries them in her bill, tax
ing them by their wings, others, that she
carries them on her back,
