Crushed BY Modern Conditions.

= Crushed by Modern Conditions.
OF all the, modern worlds strong
holds OF machine-driven labor none
can compare with Belfast and Glasgow
to emphasize the truth of Ruskin's de-
nunciation Of modern industrialism.
Ugliness and monotony are here the
keynotes Of life-great barracklike
buildings, where the workers toll
eternally in their day and night shifts;
long rows Of sordid cottages, smoke
begrimed and hideous. where, in their
long hours of ease, the men converge
upon the corner saloons as their chief
recreation and solace, while the WON.
en- pursue their truant offspring in all
manner of unsavory haunts. One OF
the commonest and saddest sights OF
Belfast's mean streets after work
hours is a street corner group of girls
from ten to twelve years Of age. each
carrying her younger brother or Sis
ter tightly fastened to her by the
ubiquitous shawl. Small wonder that
under such conditions the mill hand
woman has hardened, that her fea-
lures and her manners have lost the
gentleness and grace that should be
woman's birthright. a.,

that Croesus rather than Cortez was
the master builder. The architecture,
in the main, is OF Gothic, with lavish
use Of Doric and Corinthian pilasters.
Here are buried the remains Of Itur-

also the head of the good padre,
Hidalgo, who, in his own far away
province. first rung his church bell to
summon the people to overthrow
Spanish rule in Mexico. Not always
