In the Shadow of the Breaker.

1t is estimated that more than 10000
children under fifteen years of age-a
whole county full of poor little chaps
hardly free from the thrall of babyhood-
are employed in the coal regions OF
Pennsylvania. Owen R. Lovejoy, Field
Secretary, National Child Labor Com
mittee, describes a recent visit to the
coal-helds in the official organ of the
Anti Child Slavery League, the Woman's
Home Companion.

eight years old, and it never done me no

He yelled his convictions of the benefits
OF Child Labor close to my ear, for in the
din of the machinery and the metallic
rush OF coal down the dusty chutes the
ears were confused by the dealening

dense cloud OF coal dust that surged
around us. The breaker. boss was a

Thecoal breaker dominates the anthra-
cite region. The most important object
on the landscape, the largest building,
with the most mysterious machinery

picture on the mind of the miners sou.
From the dawn of his intelligence he
recognizes its power, and in it his des-

to the breaker. The old theological

with alleys of mud and coaldirt winding

speciaI Fayors for Drummers.

Travelling men in England have spe-
cial treatment accorded them in hotels,
says returned American When you
so into the lobby of an English hotel
you may be surprised to find a great
open fire burning in one end of the
ROOM Great comfortable chairs will be
found about the lobby and you need
not exclaim if you see several statesmen
smoking long pipes and reposing their
stockinged feet upon large footstools.
Empty shoes can be found in many por-
tons of the room.
The English lobby is a parlor or sit
ting room, a place of comfort, and in
no instance bears the stiff vanished
emblaZoned appearance of your Amer
lean hostelries When you go to the
dining room you may be surprised to
hear the clerk ask if you are a trav-
cling man. If you are you are ush-
cred into a simply but homely furnish
ed room containing one long table. The
apartment is more like a private dining
room, and everybody is everybody else's
friend. The meal is especially served,
the walters show especial Difference
and everything bears tone of home
life. AS each man leaves the table he
is seen to drop half penny in a little
box This Is an unwritten law of the
land, and the money thus collected goes
to pay for schools and orphanages for
the children of travelling statesmen who
die without leaving sufficient means for
their support Several of these schools
and orphanages are maintained
throughout England

Spendthrfffs of the West.

If Horace Greeley were alive to-day
l doubt if he would still give to young
men the unqualified advice to go west
and grow up with the country, says
Californian. The west is still a good
place to make money, but not a good
place to get rich. | believe man can
build up competence more easily in
the east than he can in the land be-
yond the Missouri River. II is too much
a case Of easy comes, easy goes" Cal
ifornians are the most extravagant per-
sons in the world. San Francisco is
the most eXtravagant city in the world.
Young men find it easy to make money
there and they find it still more easy
to spend it. AS Il result they are in
clined to waste early opportunities.
There are still number of good
placer mines in the foothills not far
from Stockton. While l was out there
last summer l met a young chap who
was working claim and making good
money out of it. His luck attracted
buyers and he sold out for $4,000 He
took the first train for San Francisco,
and l saw him when he came back,
six weeks later, without a penny. He
even had to sell part of his clothes to
get together another mining kit He
hadn't the slightest regret over the
manner in which he had blown his
money, for he was still talking of the
fun he would have with the next
stake" His case is merely an aver
age one, but if he had lived in the east
he might not have made so much
money, but he would have kept most

NEW TRICKS OF UMBRELLAS.
Many improvements Made in the
Last Few Years on Them.

Many ImprOyem Made in the
Last Few Years on Them.
Up TO a few weeks ago, it is said,
only seven patents on umbrellas had
been issued in the United States in 100
years, this despite the fact that the
annual production of umbrellas in this
country is close to 100000, says the
American Inventor.
The ribs and stem of an umbrella
are generally made in factories having
speciality of these items and are sent
thence to the real manufacturer. Here,
first, the man whose work it is to
assemble the parts inserts a bit Of
wire into the small holes at the end Of
the ribs draws them together about the
main rod and puts on the ferule.
In cutting the cloth seventy-five
thicknesses or Whereabouts are ar
ranged upon a splitting table, at which
skilled operators work. In another room
are number of girls who operate hem
ming machines A thousand yards Of
hemmed goods is but a days work for
one of these girls. The machines at
which they work have a speed OF some
1900 revolutions a minute.
After hemming, the cloth is cut into
triangular pieces, with a knife as be-
fore. but with a pattern laid upon the
cloth. The next operation is the sew
ing of the triangular pieces together by
machinery.
The covers and the frames are now
ready to be brought together. In all
there are twenty-one places where the
cover is to be attached to the frame of
the average umbrella.
The handle is next glued on and the
umbrella is ready for pressing and in
spection. BY far the greater number
of umbrellas to-day are equipped with
wooden handles A large variety Of
materials may be used, however, such
as horn, china, bone, agate, pearl,
ivory, silver and gold. Gold and silver
quite naturally enter into the construc-
tion of the more expensive grades of
umbrellas, some of which in price have
been known to bring as high as $3.50
or $500. A wooden handle may like
wise be expensive, depending upon the
quality of the wood used Ebony, pet
rified wood, fir, oak and elder are as
well known to the umbrella man-15,-
100000 umbrellas a year.
The umbrella has been developing
rapidly during the last few years.
We pick up even cheap one nova
days press a button and the top
spreads itself like an eagle ready for
its flight. We are going away and an
ordinary umbrella is too long to put in
our grip. We find among our assert
ment of umbrellas and parasols one
that is meant for just such an emer-
gency, and which, in a most accommo-
dating manner. folds up to suit the size
of our travelling bag. Other new ones
lock with Il key. Some spread their
shade over eight or nine feet of terri
tory, and manufacturers aver that
these are but a few of the improve
ments which we may expect
