THE BRTTTsH BARMAID.

There are some British institutions which might be good for this country, but the British barmaid institution isn't one of them. It may further be said that 1t isn't good for Britain. A good many Britons think so. This in- stitution has just been looked over and into a little, and 1t is found that more than one-fifth of the women employed In barrooms in England and Wales are under twenty years old, while in some instances girls of fourteen are so en- ployed. From the report 1t is gathered that 6,169 barmaids are from fifteen to twenty years old, 12,O2a are between twenty and twenty-five years old and 7,536 range from twenty-five to thirty five. Their ages range from ten to seventy-fve years. Three Hebes on the list own to having passed their seven- ty-fifth year; and grand total is ar- rived at of about twenty-eight thou sand barmaids.
 British liquor-sellers are said to pre- fer, as a rule, quite young girls for barmaids, and it is mentioned that in three hundred and sixty advertisements stipulating age two-thirds of the whole asked for barmaids of twenty or under, while only thirty-two of the advertise ments were for women of twenty-five and over. No wonder there is stir in England over this matter. There ought to be a big and reformatory stir.

The Navy department officials who have charge of public works are much Interested in the effect of the law re- dating to the employment of labor and the limitation of such work to eight hours day. It is estimated that this requirement. will mean an increase of from 5 to 10 per cent, in the cost of public works Instructions have been given to those in charge of work at the navy yards to see to it that there are no violations of the law and that all such occurrences are reported promptly and specifically to the Washington au- thorities. The law is interpreted for the present in the Navy department as applying only to the work itself, and not extending to the production and preparation of the material which en- ters into the construction of naval pub lio works,

IA story is told of an English K. c. now much in the public eye, He took up a brief for nothing and won the case. The grateful client, however, sent a postal order for 15 shillings, which the K. c. accepted, through fear of giving offense by sending it back. At the bar mess one of the barristers iocularly accused him of unprofesslonal conduct in accepting less than gold. Excuse me- replied the K. C., but I took all the poor beggar had, I consid- CT that is not unprofessional"

Speaking in the light of the recent primary fight in Texas the Galveston Daily News declares that "those who claim that the primary law of any State has worked in a satisfactory manner are the authors or beneficiarles of such law. The serious trouble about fhe new plan is that it doubles the elec- tions over and over again, as well as the expenses incurred in holding them, when there are already too many cleo tions and the people are sadly tired of the continuous round of unprofitable campaign wrangllng and rascality."

termaster in the Royal artillery, was

had made a will leaving all that be
possessed to her, but as she did not
live to give the will effect dispute
arose among their next OF kin as TO the
proper disposal Of the estate, which
was valued at fI,0O0.
II had been ruled, In conformity
with a principle OF the Roman civil
law, that when two perished together

the wife had distinctly the better con-

urged that, as he plunged In to save
her, she probably expired first. After
lengthy arguments the Judge held that.

would probably have been more timId

by man as olmstead came up. "All
right sir. GIT right IN. Let's have your
checks. I'll git your baggage"
The checks were handed over. and
while the driver was getting the trunks
0lmstead looked over the other occu-
pants Of the barge. There were one
man and three women The man and
two Of the women were typical CON
sumptives cbested and hollow
checked. Now and then they coughed
spasmodically. They were poorly dress
ed and evideatly OF the class who
availed themselves OF the states ebari-
~ fund TO bring them here.
The other woman was Of an entirely
different type. She was well dressed
and young. In the dim light from the
station lamps olmstead could see she
was decidedly pretty. She did not
cough, nor was she hollow checked like
the rest. 0lmstead made two mental
decisions-that she was pay patient
and that her case was not as yet a
very serious one. He felt a sudden
thrill Of pity that she should be here,
so evidently was she at odds with the
dreary surroundings.
The driver returned with the trunks
and bags on truck With the station
agents assistance they were piled into
the rear OF the barge and the driYe TO
the sanltarium was begun. 1t was over
rough, sandy road. lined with gloomy
pines through which the wind howled
dismally.
0lmstead unrolled bis steamer rugs
and offered them to the women, two OF
whom were shlyering mlserably The
younger woman greeted this act Of
courtesy with a pretty smile Of ac.
knowledgment that qulckened his
pulses.

kets in the barge" be said.
1t would seem so" was her quiet,
noncommlttal reply. and then there was
silence until the sanltarium was
reached.
0lmstead paid In advance, received
hurried examination from one Of the
physicians and was assigned a room on
the second floor. At the supper table
he met the young woman again. She
smiled and nodded as be took bis seat
opposite her.

After that meal they were friends.
They strolled about the grounds to-
