EQUAL WORK EQUAL PAY.


Equal pay for equal work. is the
decision of Justice Higgins of Austral-
Ia in the arbitration court. The Mel
bourne Age of June % quotes part of
the opinion: "This is the first time
that this court has had to deal directly
with the problem of female labor.
The union hers insists on equal pay
for equal work. This phase seems to
carry justice on its face; for, obviously,
where woman produces as good re-
suits as man in the same kind of work
she ought not to receive less remunera-
ton.
1.-The employer is not bound to re-
tain a woman in his employ II her work
is not up to the standard; but if he does
retain her he practically admits that
1t is. The state cannot ask that an
employer shall, in addition to all his
other anxieties, make himself familiar
with the domestic necessities of every
employe; nor can it afford to let girl
with comfortable home pull down the
standard OF wages to be paid to less
fortunate girls who have to maintain
themselves.
There has been observed for long
time tendency to substitute women
for men in industries, even in occupa-
tons which are more suited to men,
and in such occupations there is often
the result of women being paid lower
wages than men. As result, [ come
to the conclusion that in the case of
the pickers, men and women being on
substantial level, should be paid on
the same level of wages, and the en-
ployers will then be at liberty to se-
lect freely whichever sex and which
ever person he prefers for the work.
All this tends 10 greater efficiency in |
work, and to a true and healthy COM
petition, as in Dutch auction, by TAX
ing lower remuneration; but COMPETE
ton by making ones self more useful to
the employer
The far-reaching Importance of this
decision has been instantly recognized
in Australia. The Age of June 26 says
in its leading article: "Fair minded |
people will thoroughly approve of the
principles on which Mr.. Justice Hig-
gins has based his decision. Natural
justice is mirrored and embodied in |
that sentence. We can all agree to
the proposition and indeed we must |
because it is morally sound and logical
y irrefutabIe. The woman entered |
late into the industrial arena, and she
still suffers the consequences of her
erstwhile political inferiority. A new
era Is, however, now oneningup before
her. She has been given the franchise,
and is on the same political plane as
man. There only remains to assert
her title to social and industrial par
ity."

New System Of TOWING.

Tests of new towing system In.

gineer, Herr Koss, have been recent
ly made on the Hiltrup section q as
miles in length OF the Dortmund Ems
canal An elastic rail Is laid at the
bottom Of the canal, and the tugboat
carries at its bottom four rollers
which clasp the rail. These rollers
are operated from the boat which is
thus propelled. A large economy of
power Is claimed for this method. The
experimental tug Is worked by cleo
tricity, the energy being obtained
through a cable from an auxiliary
boat equipped with dynamo. This,
however, Is only a provisional ar.

APES STOMACH IN MAN.

Trading his worn-out stomach for a
new one of an anthropoid ape, Pierre
Laurent of Paris, KY, tested his new
digestive apparatus by becoming in
toxicated. An exchange says the
STOMACH stood the test and aside from
a slight wobble in his walk, Laurent
is as well as ever. The surgical oper-
alton, performed by DR.. Roules at the
Hospital of Agen, is the sensation of
Paris. Laurent, who is prosperous
farmer of Agen, remained in the hos
pital twenty-five days. His stomach.
which was from 2-year old ape, fitted
perfectly in the 27-year old man.

ECZEMA IN RED BLoTCHEs

205 Kanter Ave, Detroit, Mich
Some time last summer l was taken
with eczema. It began IN my hair
first with red blotches, then scaly,
spreading to my face. The blotches
were red on my face, dry and scaly,
not large; on my scalp they were
larger some scabby. They came on
my hands. The inside Of my hands
were all little Jumps as though full of
shot about one-sixteenth Of an inch
under the skin. Then they went to
the outside and between and all over
my fingers. It also began on the bot
toms Of my feet and the calves Of my
legs, and itch, oh, my! never had
anything like 1t and hope never will
again. The itching was terrible. Ny
hands got SO could scarcely work.

but without results. I also took medi-

I it's contents. Hall, with the blood
streaming down his face where a piece
of shell had grazed him, stood by his
gun and urged his fellow bluejackets
on by word and deed.
Throughout the long afternoon the
men hammered away at the twenty
foot wall. Gun after gun was aban
dou.d as their crews were shot down.
but the negro hero was game to the
last. Shortly before dark the com.
mander gave the order to collect the
killed and wounded and retire for the
night, but Hall had to be peremptor-
lily ordered to retire by his superior
| before he obeyed.
Meanwhile, Lieutenant Salmon Of
the naval brigade had climbed a tree
! and discovered a small aperture in
the wall The enemy saw him and
volleyed at him. Badly wounded, he
fen into the arms OF his men and re-
ported what he had seen, For this
brave act he was rewarded with a
Victoria Cross
The English were quick to take ad-
vantage OF the information, and among
the first men to rush the breach was
William Hall, wounded but hacking
right and lift with his cutlass. Early
upon the following morning, the Resi-
dency was relieved and second mass
acre averted.
In due time, Hall received his Vic
toria Cross, as both his commanding
officers and shipmates were agreed
that his gallantry had been the most
| conspicuous event Of day memorable
for its many brave actions.
Hall lived to take part in the bonn
bardment OF Alexandria many years
later, and was awarded the Egyptian
medal and its inseparable companion,
the Khedive's Star. With his Grim
can and Egyptian medals, his Victoria
Cross and Khedive's Star, this brave
negro finally retired from service and
took up his residence in a small Nova
Scotian village, far away from the
grim scenes Of his early days.
In all, three negroes have been
awarded the Victoria Cross; Samuel

After an hours perilous work, dur

Founders succeeded in hammering a
hole in the wall about three feet
square. A bugle call sounded. The
infantrymen sprang to their feet and
rushed at the little hole in spite OF
the fact that certain death awaited
the foremost.
The enemy, having been driven out
Of the courtyard by the intrepid Eng
lish aided by the loyal native troops,
made for the gateway of the main
structure. AS they attempted to close

Residency at Lucknow in due time,
after having been obliged to fall back
upon Cawnpore by reason Of the ex-
IRENE heat and the dreaded cholera.
The gallant Neill was with him when
he finally succeeded in cutting his way
into Lucknow, but the negro Hall and
other bluejackets were not present.
Their opportunity was to come later.
Havelock and his men, though
strong enough to reinforce the besieg-
ed troops in Lucknow and save the
English garrison from destruction,
were not strong enough TO cut their
way to safety, hampered with women
and children and wounded amounting
to 1900 souls. Thus the siege con-
tinued upon a larger scale,
Meanwhile, Sir Colin Campbell had
arrived in India. He was to assume
the chief command Of the forces in
India, and his first task was to rescue
the garrison at Lucknow. Upon the
9Th of November he led an army Of
five thousand men and thirty guns out
of Cawnpore, and among these was
the naval brigade under William
Peel.
The SikandaTbagh, formidable
looking structure about 1870 yards
square and surrounded by thick
brick wall about twenty feet high, was
the first nut to crack before Lucknow
could be relieved. It sheltered up
80 yaroII o. cd Co
poys, who poured a CALLING fire into
the English from the fiat roof OF a
pavilion on top of the structure.
Little could be done until breach
had been made In the wall, so the in.
fantry lay down and sheltered them
selves as best they could while the
men of the naval brigade dragged
their guns up under the wall. Across
the deadly zone Of bare ground the
negro and his shipmates dragged their
guns as coolly as II laying alongside
an enemy's frlgate. Man after man
dropped under the cruel FIRE until
each gun was short-handed.
Once up under the wall, the gallant
men were in a measure protected, but
as the 24-pounders kicked back after
each discharge, It became necessary
for the men TO enter the danger zone
to drag them back into position. At
each recoil the Sepoys concentrated
their fire upon the little detachment,
and each discharge cost human life.
Encouraging his shipmates by his
fearless example, the negro was al
ways the first man to dart out of the
