THE ERMINE TRAP,

This stole OF imperial ermine is worth

consider how the animals comprised in II
were caught!
'ln the first place. they were caught
In winter Of extreme cold, for II is only
In such a winter that the weasel, or err
mine, turns from tawny to snow white.
In normal winters tho ermine only turns
to a greenish whlte-like this 500 green

I'm the second place. tho ermines were
caught young for when fully developed
their coats are coarse and stlff-as I'm this
$3.50 stole-and 10 catch them young the

trap would tear the delicate fur.

Yes, sir. when you see a stole like this
don't begrudge a good price for It, for

painful hand process"

as much bread as they require for their

own consumption.
Altogether between thirty-nvs and
forty journeymen bakers are employed In

and they are divided into three brigades.
working In shifts OF eight hours each.
All the circumstances have a direct effect
on the workmen's health.
THE Paris municipal bakery cannot be
compared, however, with that OF the
Voorult, at Ghent, but nevertheless Il IS
an advance ON the generality OF the Paris
bakeries and has the advantage over the
Voorut OF possessing -four mills on the
same premises and OF making It's own
-four. The kneading machines and the
ovens, though good, are yet inferior to
those employed at Ghent. Therefore, the
Paris municipal bakery must not be
taken as a model stlll, the results
achieved are satisfactory.
in England We had very much the
same conditions as you are, apparently,
suffering under in this city at the present
time. ! mean to say our bakeries were
filthy and were mostly underground, and
were a long standing grievance.
From time TO time the local inspectors
Of nuisances interfered, but nevertheless
many very bad cases escaped detection.
We fought the matter until we secured
legislation which renders It illegal TO es-
tablish In England new bakeries under
ground"

| The late Colonel A. Louden Snowden, of
Philadelphia, gave dinner parties Of rare
excellence, and at one OF these dinner
| parties he said:
Modern usage dictates q sparing use
OF wine; one wine, brut champagne OF

RELICS OF FEMALE SLAVERY.

Senior Juan Gayangos, the Spanish
Minister to the United States, said at a
dinner in Washington:
"Our old Spanish proverbs reflect q
cynicIsm as 10 women that no longer
exists In Spain"
Then, with an apologetic smile, Senor
Gayangos quoted, one after another, these
cynical old Spanish proverbs:
"Chose neither a wife nor q coat by
candlelight.
woman is a queer creature with long
hair and short ideas.
women and weather are not TO be
trusted.

make the best match.

! There's no use Stacking up" he said.
Jersey chickens know their business.
Look at that"
The chickens, even as he spoke, fed
with loud, excited squawks TO the shelter
Of the grassy roadside.
Its an incredible but true thing" con-
tinued the chauffeur, that the chickens Of
different states act differently In the pres
ence Of motor car New Jersey chickens
always do as those Tuckahoe birds did
keeping their heads, they flee TO the shell
ter of the footpath and are safe.
But Pennsylvania chickens in running
away from a car run straight down the
middle OF the road They keep directly
In your path. There's nothing to do but
stop. otherwise you'll kill them
New England chickens run around and
around in a circle, but in the end this
circle breaks up, and the birds dart left
and right TO shelter. Thus, II you slow
down in New England. the chickens get
off with their lives.

DISEASED WORKERS.

The physicians in the first few days Of
| the examination took, as matter OF
routine, the sputum Of every man ex-
| annjned, but the lN specimens taken were
all NEGATIVE, and as II was extremely dinl-
cult 20 get any real sputum by this
method this test was omitted In the later
examinations. The examination was made
IN the shop in the presence of all other
employees, the workers submitting WIN
will and interest. No secondary examina-
ton was made even Of cases where
positive Indication of tuberculosis was
found
OF the 800 bakers examined, H, or A
ner cent. were found free from any dis
ease. while 45S, or 81 per cent, had some
indication of defective physical condition.
The diseases found were: tuberculosis,
10; bronchitis, III; pleurisy, 2: venereal
diseases, 3: diseases Of the skin, 50. De-
6ucting the cases Of anemia, rhinitis, all
digestive diseases. all hernia cases and
all of fat feet there still remain 422 sepa-
rate cases Of diseased conditions.
The deduction is made that remedial
legislation in regard to bakeries must DC
in the following four directions:
i. Abolition or ceIIar OdheieD
2. Licensing Of industry.
3. Strict supervision by the state.
4. Medical and physical examination.
mo remedial legislation will be OF any
avail which does not prevent the ioca-
ton of this trade in underground cellars
said DR.. Price. This is the first prin-
ciple upon which all efforts 70 lessen the
evils of unsanitary bakeries must DO
based. II may be put down without rear
OF contradiction - and this opinion ~
shared by all the health and factory
officials interviewed-that no bakery can
ever be sanitary as long as IL is located
in cellar.
A cellar is an unfit place for the manu-
facture OF foodstuffs, or for the hablta-
tion OF workers. There cannot be any
natural light In a cellar under the most
favorable conditions, and no place can
be sanitary that lacks sunlight cellars
are the most difficult places to ventilate
unless mechanical ventilation Is Installed
which is out of the question In the or
binary small bakery.
Cellars In which bakeries are located
cannot have a temperature which Is
healthy for workers; they are too near
the ground and the emanations from the
ground and the ovens and the heated at
mosphere needed for dough raising make
II almost Impossible for cellar bakeries 70

THE BAKERIES OF FRANCE.

Though in France many questions on
which public health depends have been
neglected" said Mr.. Smith, "a cheap and
good bread supply has always held the
first place in the consideration OF the
government. For this purpose a tax was
imposed, by which the price OF bread Is
fixed according to the current price OF
wheat, and the public protected against
a. possible combination of master bakers.
This is not the only way in which the
authorities have interfered. OF course,
the troops bake their own bread, 10: In so
important a matter as this the bread sup
