HOW FACTORIES TAKE TOLL. OF
BLOOD AND HEALTH OF
WORKERS.
WORKERS..

Boys fingers when cut off by
punch" machines in the metal
working shops are quoted at 5000
the pair; amputated singly they are
worth $50.
Girls fingers when crushed by the
machines in box factories are not
paid for, as the machines are run at
the risk of the girls:
Finger splitters," another box
making machines, splits the fingers
Of the girls who operate them. To
the trade the machine is known as a
corner slayer. 1t Clues the corners
of the boxes. Split fingers are not
paid for.
Blood flows from the hands Of
young girls and old women, who for
from So to Sc a week pick knots
from cloths in wooden mills. At the
end of the week the operators hands
are raw.
Women, some gray-haired, stand
in the slaughter houses for ten hours
daily stripping pork and making sau-
sages. They now stand on boards
to keep out of brine and pickle on
the floor They used to- stand in it.
Women, some young and others
old, work at cOre-making in the steel
and iron founderies while they
breathe carbon monoxide, a poison
Gus gas, liberated by the ovens in
the same room.
Women polish marble with corro-
sive acids in many of the marble
shops. This work would tax the
strength of a robust man.
Women, as rule, work immedi-
ately before and two weeks after
they give birth to children that they
may support the little ones after
they come into the world.

GOSSIP AND SCANDAL.

Many people confuse gossip with
scandal, but the two things are quite
different The scandal monger is
usually detested, while the gossip is
often universally popular In fact
the popularity which it brings in its
train is one of the strongest incen-
tives to gossip. A really accom-
plished gossip is social acquisition.
Thousands of people who do not
gossip themselves like to listen to it.
1t saves them the trouble of talking.
The gossip is generally good natured.
The scandal monger seldom is. After
all, what is more interesting than
human nature? That is the stock in
trade of the gossip, as it is Of the
novelist and the ramatist-Gentle-
woman.

LIFTING A CHILD.

"I wish,' said the woman who has
children Of her own, that women
would understand the delicate mech
anism of a child. How would they
like a giant to come along and sud
denly drag them from the ground by
one arm, as I have seen SO many peo-
pie do to children? When you're
lifting child lift it ev My by both
arms or from the waist. Don't yank
it up by a grab at one wrist and then
wonder why it cries. 1t makes me
so angry 1 always want to pull the
arm of that incinsiderate woman
hard and see if she wouldn't cry too.
It's thing that mothers and aunts
and sisters ought to learn. "-Phila-
delphia Times.

strip of silk ribbon round the top. 1t

GIVE TOUCH OF sMARTNESs
Artificial Rose or Orchid, Easily
Made, Adds Much to Appearance
Of an Evening Gown.

Make huge rose Of black velvet II
you need a little extra touch Of smart
ness for your evening or tea gown.
The rose Is formed Of a dozen or
eighteen petals, cut in the graduated
sizes pertaining to the natural flower.
eighteen petals. cut in the graduated
foudation easily made Of firmly
twisted chenille. To make the petals
appear crisp, the velvet instead Of
being doubled, az Is done in making
exotics Of thin material, IL smoothly
pasted on one side Of piece Of coarse
black net. The necessary quantity Of
mucilage used will stiffen the Joined
materials to the desired firmness and
yet they will be sufficiently flexible to
be easily pressed into proper shape
whenever disarranged.
Easier to shape than the rose is the
orchid. This, also made Of velvet and
coarse net, has six long and slender
petals with pointed ends tied at their
tips with slender golden threads. An
olive. such as is employed in connec.
tion with military loops, Is the best
foundation for a velvet orchid. and to
one end Of 1t the wider ends OF the
petals may be securely fastened.
This will leave a point protruding
liom the heart of the exotic, but one
which may be beautiful concealed un.
der a catlix group Of seven yellow
silk French knots. The other half
of the olive will be needed as the base
through which to thrust the safety
pins that fasten the flower at the
breast or wherever the corsage bou'
Quet Is worn.
