SIXTY CENTS A DAY.
Women Workers in Feather and Ar
tificial Flower Trades in Paris
Live on That Sum.

How to live on GO cents a day is
problem which the Paris syndicate
of women workers in the feather and
artificial flower trades solves, or at
tempts to solve. The problem is also
one which thousands Of girls or wom-
en- in Paris have to face somehow.
In the trades mentioned 60 cents a
day is the average pay. The budget
drawn up by the union is a pathetic
miracle of thriftiness. II contains
over so items of expenditure and ac-
counts for every penny Rent heads
the list and is down for $50 a year.
Heating costs 81 a month for six
months Of the year and lighting $3.50
for the whole twelve months. Ex-
penses for meals are, breakfast, Ia
cents a day; luncheons, cents; din.
ners, 6 cents. Clothes includes two
pairs of boots, So; one pair of sum-
mer shoes, ito save the boots" 60
cents; soing and heeling, s160 a
year; two blouses at 35 cents each,
two dresses at $3.50 each, three petit
coats. s2.25.
Some items are peculiarly pathetic.
Matches, | cent a month; pen, ink and
paper, 10 cents a year; postages, 32
cents a year: receipt stamps for quar-
terly rents. cents; concierge's annual
tip, 81; needles. thread, etc, for mend
ing, s3 four baths a year, so cents;
household expenses, $6.75; washing,
s10.75.
The grand total shows balance on
the right side of about So annually.
This has to cover all extras, such as
omnibus fares, which are not included
In the estimate. This budget has been
drawn up by the syndicate for the
benefit of those of its members who
find difficulty in making both ends
meet. One wonders how many ever
manage to balance such budget,
which, by the way, makes no provi-
sion for Illness.
Recently a Batignolles landlord died
leaving a will, by which he exempted
all his tenants from a quarters rent
and bequeathed a sum of $4,000 for
distribution among the caretakers OF
his houses and those occupants of the
same who happened to be pressed for
money at the time of his demise.
Another landlord has now died, leav-
ing a larger sum to his dependents
than the Batignolles man.
He lived at Auteil. where he owned
an extensive house, occupied by many
tenants. To the caretakers concierges
of this establishment the Auteil land
lord left in his will 100000 They
are TO have and to hold this money on
condition that they remain honest and
charitable people.

MONTHS ON A SHIP
BOY sHANGHAIED AND MADE
TO WORK LIKE A SLAVE.
GETS FREEDOM BY ACCIDENT
Falls Through Open Hatchway and
Taken to a Philadelphia Hospital
Worries About Fate of
Mother and Sister.

Philadelphia. Shanghaied FIVE
months ago and forced to ship with
the crew a tramp steamer which has
been almost continuously at sea since
January "a, worrying night and day
over the safety of his mother and sis.
ter, whom he has not heard from since
he left San Francisco, William OBrien
lies In a cot at the University hos
pital suffering not only from broken
arm and shoulder but enduring such
pangs of anxiety that his life is seri.
ously endangered by his mental state.
O'Brien was brought to the hos.
pital from Wilmington. While swab.
bing off the decks of the steamship
Craigard, into the service of which he
night before 1t left San Francisco on
Its cruise around the continent, he
fell through an open hatchway. He
was allowed to lie there unconscious
until member of the crew more hu.
name than his fellows picked him up
and carried him to his bunk Then a
Wilmington physician was called to
Pigeon Point, where the ship was an.
chored, and he diagnosed O'Brien's
injuries as compound fractures of the
shoulder and elbow. He advised his
removal to a hospital.
All the way up on the train O'Brien
disregarded the pain his injuries we're
giving him and begged that informa.
tion be given him concerning his
mother and sister whom he left so
unexpectedly and so suddenly on the
Pacific coast.
They have always depended upon
me for their support" he moaned.
"And now | don't know how they
have managed to live since | left. |
don't even know II they are alive.
They may have been killed, both of
them, In the earthquake"
After the doctors had finished
dressing his injuries O'Brien began
again on The recital of his troubles.
He told how after talking with a sailor
about the pleasures of life on the
sea he had suddenly been attacked
from the rear. When he woke up
again he felt the rolling motion of a
ship. He scrambled out of dirty
bunk and went on deck to find that
the ship was already out of sight OF
land.
When he attempted to register a
complaint to the officers of the ship
he was told roughly to shut up" and
was set to work swabbing the decks.
Every outburst of anger on his part
was met with blows and curses. Be.
cause he complained he was given
the hardest and dirtiest work to do.
Never having been at sea before, he
soon became seasick, but he was com.

Cat Steals Rat Tran.

Greenfield, Ind.-Mrs. Matilda Cald-
well, of this city, is the owner of a
cat that has collected more than half
a hundred mouse-traps, presumably
from as many houses. The cat comes
to the screen door and scratches until
Mrs. Caldwedd releases the mouse
from the trap the cat has stolen. The
cat then carries the mouse to her fam
lily of kittens. The collection of traps
is increasing each day.

Town Has Rain of Frogs.

Alton, Ill.-A heavy rainstorm, ac-
companied by gale, swept over Alton
the other day and a deluge of little
green frogs was precipitated. They
fell 80 plentifully that thousands were
hopping around the streets. Pedes-
trians and vehicles crushed them by
hundreds, SO thickly we're the streets
strewn. 1t is believed the frogs were
scooped up from the marshy lowlands
by the heavy wind, carried over the
city and dropped.

the work In spite of his illness. He
had to rise two hours before anybody
else in his watch and he was always
the last to get through at night
Instead of being allowed tc eat the
food given the other men he was
often forced to forego his breakfast
and then eat only biscuits and tea.
Though he shipped January "a, there
was never letup in the cruelty with
which he was treated, he says.
On its long Journey the Craigard
stopped at many ports in South
America, but though shore leave was
accorded the rest of the crew O'Brien
was ordered to stay on deck. During
a stop of week at the mouth of the
orinoco in Venezuela O'Brien was the
only member of the ships company
who was not allowed to land.
When the ship put into the harbor
o. Barbados June 1 sailor brought
on board a copy of New York paper
in which O'Brien read for the first
time Of the calamity that had visited
San Francisco. Since then his worri-
ment increased a hundredfold. I'm.
able to land anywhere, he had no op.
portunity Of communicating either
with his family or his friends in the
stricken city.
O'Brien is 22 years old, clean.cut in
appearance and talks like a man OF
refinement. When seen at the hos.
.pital he said:
Il used to think liked the sea, but
my liking has been cured forever,
All ! want now is to get back to my
poor mother and sister at home
Just think of it," he broke out
tearfully. II was their only support
What can they do without me?" He
has little fear of the earthquake,
though that is an added anxiety.
Just as soon as ] get out of the
hospital I'll go back to them II have
to walk all the distance" he con.
cluded. And. besides, am going to
make 1t hot for the people who are re.
sponsible for my being shipper on

ATTEMPTS TO RECRUIT JAPS

The steamship Olympia arrived
off Kahului harbor last Faiday
evening and attempted to take a
load of japanese to California that
were supposed to have been induc-
ed to 60 through the efforts of two
Japanese agents from Honolulu.
The steamer was about the is
land for some days but failed to
find any number of men dissatis-
fed with their lot and willing to
venture where la Dor troubles would
soon become so acute as to render
it difficult for them to work and
would surely lead to the passage OF
such stringent labor laws that not
only would the japanese now liv-
ing in America be affected but those
who live here or wish to come here
to labor would be under the same
restrictions.
1he failure of the Olympia viii
prove source of satisfaction to al
those In America who have tht
intrests of the laboring men O
America at heart as well as thos,
who wish to see the islands prospe
and realize that labor other thar
white are necessary here in tn

From time to time we have pub

trict of North East Japan and
now publish the following at the
request of the editor of the Hawaii

Americans generally do not rea-
lize the terrible famine conditions
which induced President Roosevelt
to urge subscriptions for the relief
of sufferes in the Northeast of
Japan. Were this region one ac-
cessible to, or frequented by, the
correspondent and artists of the
great newspapers of the land, there
would be articles and illustrations
which would shock the world like
the awful scenes sent forth from
the last great famine in India In
Japan, as there, are women and
children starving and freezing to
death. There are thousands and
thousand of families unable tC
obtain food to maintain life and
unable to protect their shrinking
bodies from the cruel cold of an
unusually severe winter. There
might be pictures, as there were
from India, of slowly dying mo
theirs giving of their last strength tt

1t is all right to let your little
girls and boys run about barefoot

They are strong and neat. You
will have no reason to complain
