THE coXsuurRs, 1rAanr.

The first meeting of this admirable organization, which takes place in City Mission Hall, October 30, will of- fer an excellent opportunity to all of learning its purposes and methods, for then Mrs. Frederick Nathan, the pres- ident of the New York branch, will de- scribe what the league aims to do and how 1t tries to do 1t. It puts in force the vital principles of Christian charity and says most emphatically "Yes" to that famous question that has searched so many hearts, viz, "Am my brothers keeper?"
 Since Mrs. Browning wrote her famous poem, '"The Cry of the Chil- dren," the world has seen enormous strides taken in the social ameliora- ton of working men and women. Factory acts have improved the san- itary conditions of work shops, lessen- ed the hours of toll, largely restrained the employment of children of tender age, but still great evils remain, which call for constant vigilance. and rigor- ous determination to redress them.
 Membership in this league enables any one to do his or her part in Tightening the hard lot of the wage earners, especially of clerks and chil- dren, who are not organized into un- Ions. It advocates living wage, a les sening of the long hours of a working day, and the abolition, so far as possi- ble, of the sweating system, while it strongly opposes the forced labor of children of tender age to gratify the greed of employer or parent The aye craze citizen of course says that he is in hearty sympathy with such pur- poses, but mere sympathy is cheap and availeth little, unless it is transmitted into positive action, which rouses pub lie opinion, affects the employer vital- ly by securing his cooperation and insures permanent reform.
 The local branch of the league is tnow advocating reforms in this city which deserve hearty support from all good citizens who believe in a hap py childhood, and that long hours of toll do not promote the kingdom of heaven on earth or the moral well fare of the State. Yn the effort to make Christmas @ season less dread- ed by workers in stress, they ask | buyers to make no purchases after five in the afternoon, or on Saturday afternoons, to make all purchases for Christmas two weeks before that time, and to receive no packages delivered after six o'clock. These seem not un- reasonable requirements, and if the lpublic will act in accordance with them, the merchants will doubtless be only too ready to cooperate.
 But the leagues efforts in behalf of the very young working boys and girls of the city deserve hearty SUD- port They have caused to be prepared the ordinance now before the board of aldermen with regard to licensing newsboys, which, if passed, will dc much to stop the painful sight of very young boys hawking papers late at night when they ought to be in bed | It will enable the police to regulate this matter, and forbids boys under ten years old from selling papers or articles of any sort on the street, or working as a bootblack, The same rule

The price of fish in New York mar kets would probably be much lower if CD the menhaden fishing monopoly did not scoop up and destroy so many food fish; if (2) shiploads of food fish were brought to market instead of being dumped overheard again when 1t was found that their sale would send prices down; if (3) wholesale fish grabbers did not interfere with the activities of the individual fishermen, and if (4) our nearby coast fisheries were conducted with decent regard for law and sound economics.

Grieg was not a model schoolboy. In description of his days at school he wrote: Knowing that by arriving late I should not be allowed to enter the class until the end of the first les- son, I used, on wet mornings, to stand under dripping roof until I was soaked to the skin. The master then sent me home to change my clothes, but the distance being long this was equivalent to giving me a dispensa- tion. You may guess that played this prank pretty often, but when at last I carried 1t so far as to come one day wet through, though it hardly rained at all they became suspicious and kept a lookout One fine day I was caught, and made an intimate &C., quaintance with the birch"

Though the Cullinan diamond, which General Botha wants to pre- sent to King Edward, weighs over 5000 karats in It's present natural state, there is no telling what it's weight will be when cut. The Kohi- noor was reduced by an unskilful stonecutter from 79S 5-S karats to 2S0 karats; 8 second cutting brought it down to 1S6 1-16 karats, and third to 106 1-16 karats, or less than sev- enth of it's original size. The original weight of the Pitt or Regent diamond was 40 lzarats, but in the hands of the cutter two-thirds disappeared; while the Star of the South, which was picked up in 8 river by negress, lost a little over half its weight by cutting.

Cotton is raised all over India, but the length, coarseness and general quality of the fiber varies with each locality. Owing to primitive methods of cultivation, the average yield is only about one-third that of the Unit ed States. If the boll worm ruins a crop, the natives perform a religious rite; and If the second crop is also destroyed they alphabetically starve to death.

ern Pacific, who has just returned from

and 1000 homeseekeIs are leaving the
Eastern gateways daily and that this
Tremendous movement will continue

Mr.. Charlton paid particular alton
tion 10 the colonist movement while

pots, where crowds OF west bound
homeseekers aTe hocklng TO the trains
and crowding the coaches. Many, not
finding seats, are even willing 10 stand,
SO eager are they to get TO the new
promised land.
The Norlhern Pacific, according 70
Mr.. Charlton, is hauling between $500
aud 5000 colonista out OF SC. Paul,
Minneapolis aud Duluth every day.
The Great Northern and 500" lines,
OF course, takes great many more.
Taking the southern gateways into con-
sideration, Mr.. Charlton believes that
the total number leaving for the West

their homes here will run close TO Z ,OOC
