ENsLAvING OF THE CHILD.

Vast Armies of Puny Children Wear
ting Out Their Unhappy Lives.
The factory wants the child. There
is little to suggest the Magic Piper in
its whistle, yet the summons brings
the children scurrying down the bro
ken stairs Of poverty and want, and
the factory doors close upon them by
tens Of thousands, leaving their child
hood outside. The factory wants the
child and will pay for him; the child
and often his parents, can see no value
In birthright as balanced against 9
little handful of silver; only the state
and the disinterested public are left
to care and protest
Perhaps the present attitude Of tenn
pered humanity, which still allows
children of thirteen to work all might
and keeps boys and girls of nine from
ten to fourteen hours at the spindles fol
wages ranging from ten to twenty
cents, will seem as Incompetent sible
one hundred years hence, as the past
feeding of "workhOuse brats" to the
factories does to us. But the new
measure of what is humane cannot be
come established unless we know
clearly what is happening and how
and where the children are at work
Knowing, we must care. Ruskin said
Luxury, at present, can only be en-
joyed by the ignorant; the crueles
man living could not sit at his feas
unless he sat blindfoid."

Population or the Philippines.

The density Of population in the
Philippines is 81 per square mile. The
Inhabitants are usually found on or
near the coast, except in the island of
Luzon, where about half the people
live in the two rich valleys in the in
terror. Only one-seventh of the civil
lied population live inland, but the
wild peoples are confined almost en-

500 inhabitants The average size of
the barrfo varies widely in different
provinces. A number Of adjacent bar
rios form a pueblo or municipal unit,
and thus there ts practically no rural
population. Three-fifths of the popu-
lation live In villages Of less than
1000 inhabitants and per cent in
towns of over 5000. There are four
towns with a population exceeding

SHOEING OF AN AFRICAN MULE

The picture herewith given comes
from Greytown, Natal, and shows the
method Of shoeing refractory mule
which is in vogue in that faraway re-

into a frame, its head resting on a
padded bar, its front legs bent and
fastened to side bars, and its hind legs
attached to stout crossbar. Te pre-

Is luncheon. We will talk by and by
Of your immediate plans"
When they had finished luncheon, and
Jack had left, Polling laid down Oh the
hard horsehair sofa, with his hands under
his head, gazing steadfastiy at the cell
ing; and 1t was not until the evening,
when the waiter came to light the gas,
that he was reused from his deep rev.
erie. He then pulled himself together,
called for his bill, and having settled 1t,
went out into the wretched night.
When Pauline left her husband at the
church door she knew that her schem-
ing had been futile, and that she could
never again show her face at Mailing
ford; but 1t was not that which caused
her the agony Of mind she was suffer
ing.
She had lost Jack. The one pure, I'M
selfish cup Of joy she had longed to taste
had been snatched from her lips at the
moment of raising. She was stunned
with despair.
She paced up and down the platform
at Charing Cross station, watching for
Babette and concocting plans for OBJ
tanning what ready money she could be-
fore the grand denouement came. She
knew her jewels must be worth at least
five thousand pounds, and. though some
Of them were heirlooms, and others had
been bought with money obtained by her
dishonesty, she would not scruple to ap-
ply them to her personal use. Then she
would draw at once two thousand from
her bankers. She would 60 and do this
personally lest they might scruple to pay
30 large sum on a check. And 80 she
laid her miserable plans. refusing to
listen for one moment to the prompting
of her better nature, which would even
now suggest her return to the husband
whose only sin had been his poverty.

O4AoA L AhAs <AA111.
Notwithstanding all Pelling's efforts.
the story soon got Into the newspapers,
and, 1t being the dull season, was seized
upon with avidtty by the. gossip purvey-
ors. 1t was "dished" and "redished"
day after day, with numberless distor-
tions, exaggerations and additions. One
society journal had it that the beautiful
Miss M Of M Park, in Exbridge-
shire, had attempted to poison her hus-
band, to whom she had been secretly
married only a month or two, in order to
become the wife Of celebrated r. A.,
with whom she had fallen deeply in love;
while another declared that the husband
presented himself at the altar with pis-
tolls, and. dragging his would-be success
sor outside the sacred edifice, insisted
upon a duel there and then, and wound
ed him dangerously In the shoulder, and
that the unfortunate man now lay In a
most critical condition, while the hus-
band had carried off his reluctant bride
q veritable prisoner, on board his yacht,
for a twelvemonth's cruise In the Pa
cific.
At last Polling, annoyed beyond meas
ure at these absurd stories, decided to
lay bare the truth. With the assistance
of his lawyer, he drew up a concise state
ment Of the, real facts, giving his own
and Pauline's name In full, but suppress
ing jacks He carefully conveyed the
idea that Pauline believed him to be
dead, and gave the circumstance to her
change of name as sufficient to account
for his not having discovered her exist
ence since his return from Africa. This

and, thus Invested of all mystery, the
story lost Its charm, and no longer af-
forded any interest.
Polling sent one Of these newspapers,
with his own letter specially distinguish
ed, to Ethel by post, and the next morn
ing he called In Buckingham street to
make matters clearer.
Ethers frank candor once more over
came the difficulties of the situation; she
stood at the top of the stairs with her
hands outstretched and her face bright
with friendly interest.
II have been longing to see you," she
began, warmly, as they entered the room;
I'VE have both SO much that Is wonder
full to tell each other"
She looked at him steadfastly as he
stood In the light from the window, and
what she saw in his face quickened her
pulse with a sudden pity, but she wauld
not give way to the impulse that urged
her to console him. She went on, a lit
tie hurriedly at first:
