ARMY OF CHILD WORKERS.
PennsyIvania's Deep Shame Told Of
by Writer.

1.-The Blackness of Pennsylvania" is
the title of a child labor article in a
recent number of the Woman's Home
Companion, and it is an entirely ap-
propriate one. The material in pro-
cess of manufacture" seems to be the
chief thing in Pennsylvania. The ma
terial of future citizenship is matter
of lesser Importance. In 1905 child
labor law was passed, and in the
third section of this law 1t Is stated
that no child under 16 may work after
nine o'clock at night, except that
where the material in process of
manufacture" is of character which
requires work after nine o'clock;
then, in such case, ito prevent waste
or destruction of said material" boys
Of Is and IA may work at any hour Of
the night, provided they do not ex-
coed eight hours in "a.
This exemption, says the article,
which is published on the authority
of the National Child Labor Commit
tee, of which President Roosevelt is
an honorary member, was inserted
in the law because the glass interests
in the western part Of the state want
ed to work boys of IA after nine
o'clock at night" The article states
further that Pennsylvania has as
many child workers engaged in manu-
featuring as New York, Massachusetts
and Illinois combined, and that the
number is increasing rapidly.

Victor Hugo's confession Of faith
is going the rounds of the magazines
and papers and is as follows: Just
as the rays of the moon lose the fig
ure Of the sun and bring to US, in
stead Of its image, certain aspect
Of the medium through which they
pass, so the idea of God, reflected by
religions and proceeding from them,
loses, so to speak, the form of God
and takes on the more or less mis-
cradle configurations Of the human
brain. :. In religion, put God above
dogma II l were sure that this
grave statement would be heard and
understood seriously, would say that
| am of all religions. | believe in the
God Of all men. believe in the love
Of all hearts, | believe in the truth OF
all souls"

A Spider Factory.

In the forests of New Guinea there
are factories whose workmen are
spiders. These hideous spiders, with
bodies as big as saucers. make fish
nets for the cannibal natives. The
natives set up In the forest long poles,
with wooden rings at the upper end
net frames. The spiders, seeing these
contrivances, run to them joyfully.
Here, they think, is a fine net ready
started. The outermost circle is al.

coarse. strong webs within the wood
en- rings. and, when the nets are quite
finished, the natives come. drive away
the insect workmen, and. taking UP
