the egg much more easily than our

trivance. Dippers with long handles
and little bronze or iron bowls,
usually painted green, serve the
purpose of carrying water. The
tea kettles are always iron, and the
water is heated by means of the
'kibachi." Since Japanese houses
have no furnace system, little char

The constant variety of our tables
is totally unheard of; year in and
year out the japanese eat this
same simple food, and are content.
I may add'that the rice is at least
we'll cooked; every grain is kept
whole, instead of being mashed to
a paste, as in other countries; also,
that when the japanese have a
chance to indulge in foreign food,
most of them eat as though they
had been starved for all the years
of their lives. One very convenient
custom in Japan is the possibility
of buying any or all of your food
ready cooked in the streets. The
venders 60 along, carrying fish, or
bowls of rice or soup, in baskets
balanced on a long pole slung over
the shoulder; and up and down,

|H9EgN ton of man from his
t&Ny primitive state to his
present condition is beyond the
scope Of our paper. We shall
merely review the important tran
sitions IN the evolution of man up
to the seventeenth century, reserv-
ing our more extended remarks
for the important developments of
the last two centuries, and partic-
ularly those of the last two
decades. We realize that the
phases of mans evolution were
controlled by climatic conditions,
at least to a considerable extent.
1t is easy to believe that primitive
man in temperate zone progressed
more rapidly than the savage in
the depths of the African jungle,
or in the ice-bound steppes of
northern Mongolia.
To review, however briefly, the
evolutions of the workingmen of
the world would be colossal task,
as each geographical division of
the earth would present different
periods and phases of evolution.
We will therefore concern our
selves with the development Of the
American workingman only, al
though many of the developments
in his evolution are identical with
those in other lands.
In accepting the doctrine of
evolution we naturally assume that
our ancestors were as primitive as
many of the tribes of aborigines
still extant in South America. the
PHILIPPINES and Australasia. 1t is
therefore beyond doubt that in
remote period our habits of daily
life were similar to their present
customs. We know that work is
not relished by the aborigine; his
mind not having grasped the real
Or imaginary value of time. When
the aborigine is hungry the women
search for lizards, roots and ber-
ries, while the men hunt for larger
game. This is the fashion in
which we lived in the remote age.
Our forbears were nomads and as
such were compelled to move from
place to place as the game grew
scarce. In some sections, however,
they for some reason located per-
manently. Necessity sharpened
their wits and the first hoe resulted.
1t was a combination of sticks,
bones, shell and stones. The field
work was done by women, while
the men hunted and made war
even as they do today. Captives
we're killed because there was no
incentive to take prisoners. There
were no slaves because there was
no work for them to do in the
initial stages of the agricultural
phase of mans evolution. At this
stage there was no starving poor
because all shared alike in the
communal granary. Nor was the
idea of private property thought
of, although it had its commence
ment as the result of the first farm
ing operations. Movable property
was the only recognized asset of
our remote ancestors.
The institution of the system of
private property in America is
generally conceded to date from
the time of the early Puritans in
New England. Governor Bradford
in his history, plymouth Planta-
tion," after telling of the difficult
ties the colonists had in getting a
sufficient supply of food under the
system of common cultivation,
states in his quaint English: Sat
length, after much debate of
things, the Governor gave way that
they should set, come every man
for his own particular, and in that
regard trust to themselves. And
so assigned to every family a par
eel of land, according to the pro-

no provision for inheritance) and
ranged all boys and youths under
some family"
AS we know, those lands we're
cultivated, became valuable, were
added to, and were bequeathed to
blood relatives. Thus we have the
origin of one phase of the private
ownership and Inheritance of land
in America. As land improved
and more and better dwellings be-
came necessary, a sort of trade
sprang up. If farmer wanted
anything another had or could
make, he would trade corn for it
and in this way commerce deveI-
oped. Soon the more favorably
situated places became centers of
this trade and finally became
towns.
Many of the farmers in the
southern colonies were artisans
and employed part of their time in
manufacturing articles in their
homes. Cox, in his view of the
United States-17S7-1794," states:
Those of the tradesmen and
manufacturers, who live ip the
country, generally reside on small
lots and farms, from one acre to
twenty; which they cultivate at
leisure times, with their own
hands, their wives. children, SER
wants and apprentices"
These slow methods of making
articles for trade gave way in the
first quarter of the nineteenth
century to the era of power ma
chinery made possible by the
scientific discoveries of the closing
decade of the eighteenth century.
Now commenced the era of CAPT.
talism. The use of power revolu-
tionized industry. Only the
wealthy land owners could afford
to engage in factory manufactures.
AS factory prices came into COM
petition with the homemade ar
ticles, the latter were no longer
profitable to make; so manufac-
turing shifted from the home to the
factory. The new conditions ush-
cred in the wage system and the
use Of credits. In the first manu-
featuring enterprise one man, or
set of men, furnished the ground;
another set. the machinery, and a
third set, the labor. The indus
trial revolution grew apace, and
little or no attention was given to
the relation between employer and
employe. Men and women and
children from the farms we're used
to working long hours. They
were expected to maintain similar
hours under the new conditions.
But men did not realize that the
hastily planned cotton mills and
factories were unsanitary; and that
it was not possible to work from
daylight to evening with the great
speed required in feeding hungry
machinery. The New England
mills run thirteen hours a day;
those in Connecticut fifteen hours
and ten minutes. At Paterson,
New Jersey, the women and chill
dren had to be at work at half-past
four, and sometimes were urged on
by use of the cowhide," states
Professor Ely in his Labor Revol-
ution in America"
These abuses led to the organiza-
tion of protective associations
among the workers. And these in
turn have developed into the sys-
tenn we call unionism.
With the factory system came
competition in labor. Employers
would hire only the strongest
men and women, and when these
became old and weak they were
discarded. At this stage of the
evolution of the workingman there
was no control over the employer.

Of the twelve months of our

Of the twelve months of our
calendar year, April stands out as
one of the most important, if not
the most important month in the
history of the United States; as it
was in this month that the first guns
were fired which signaled the be-
ginning of the two greatest wars
that this country has ever expert
enced, and that meant so much to
its people. And it also happened
that the second of these great con-
tiicts, the Civil War, was brought to
a successful conclusion during this
month. Four of our Presidents
were born in April, and two passed
