HOLIDAYS FOR WORKERS. What the Operatives and I.aliorers in Knglaud Get in This Way. A recent letter from a London corre spondent of a New York daily paper contains the following: The demand for an "eig'it hours' day," which* just now in some tliirty-flve or forty constituencies is causing much more commo!lion than the home rule question, is only one of the many indi cations of the change which has of late years come over the English working classes. Until the Amalgamated Society of Engineers inaugurated the nine hours' movement on Tyneside, nearly twenty years Ago, the ten hours' day was the rule, and artisans and day laborers workod until as late as 5 or 6 o'clock on Saturday evening. The nine hours' movement, however, quickly extended itself to other industries than that of engineering, and before it had been in force five years with the men whose action had brought it about fifty-four hours had almost universally come to be regarded as the working week; wages wero fixed upon that basis and overtime paid at extra rates on all time worked beyond that limit. When the change was first brought about work was usually continued un til 2 o'clock on Saturday afternoons; but by a series of rearrangements things have been so adjusted that in nearly every industry work now ceases at noon on Saturday. It is while this movement toward a shorter working week and to the Saturday half holiday has been go ing on that the bank holiday has firmly established itself with artisans and day laborers, and ceased to be what it was in tho earlier years oP the operation of tho Lubbock act—a holiday mainly with tho business and clerking classes. Nor has tho holiday movement among the industrial classes ended with the adop tion of the bank holiday act. As the evidence which has been given l>efore the labor commission has shown, the midsummer vacation has extended itself beyond the counting room to which it was confined up to ten years ago, and in many industries now ap plies to the humblest of workers. Mr. Livesey, who is the general manager of tho South Metropolitan Gas company, stated in his evidence last week that it was now the rule with that company to givo every laborer in their employ one week's holiday in tho summer at the ex pense of the company. Tho same rule applies with most of tho railway companies and with many of the wholesale dry goods concerns; and in London it is common in the coin posing rooms of mauy of tho newspaper offices. In all these cases the men are paid their week's wages before they go on their holidays. Even where this gen erosity is not extended to the rank and file of the work people, it is now a grow ing practice to stop work in the summer time for a week in order that the work people may have a holiday and that the machinery may To overhauled. In tho manufacturing districts of Lan cashire, Yorkshire, Cheshire and Derby shire these summer holidays for work people are recognized institutions. Their coming is looked forward to with pleas ure, and a week's stoppage does not al ways mean the loss of an entire week's pay. Overtime is usually worked for two or three weeks before the stoppago to clear out tho orders, so that tho over time and the extra pay received for it about equalize the loss from the week's cessation of work. It is an arrangement which works well for both employers and employed and never seems to give riso to any friction. In Manchester and many of the neigh boring cotton manufacturing towns and villages work is at a standstill for a week, and the cotton operatives betake themselves in their thousands to the watering places on the Lancashire and Welsh coast and also to the Isle of Man. Yl'orkingmcii in the Iloune of Comiuoiifi. Mr. Burns liegan life as a miner ami lias a practical knowledge of every side of the labor question. That is why tho house listens to him with profound at tention and respect. It will also listen to a farceur, but not exactly in the same spirit. As a matter of fact, labor is very strongly represented in the lionse of commons, if not in point of numbers, certainly in ability. Mr. Fen wick and Mr. Wilson are both men of considerable intellectual power. Both were working colliers. Mr. Howell is a good writer as well as a good speak er, and a man who lias had the courage to risk a quarrel witli trades unions and with his constituents when he believed that he was right and they were wrong. He was a working bricklayer. Will any one who knows the house allege that tho most respectful hearing is not al ways accorded to these members?— Mac millan's Magazine. A Successful Union. The Pacific Coast Seamen's union, witli headquarters in San Francisco, was organized in 1885, and its present mem bership is 4,000. The union now main tains an employment office, thus doing away with blood money to boarding honse runners. Before the union was established the wages of a seaman on the coast were twenty-five dollars. Tho wages are now from thirty-five to fifty dollars a mouth, an increase of 25 per cent. Since 1887 it had been required of every sailor desirous of joining the union to be an American citizen or to declare his intention of becoming one. A Strong Organization. The Cigarmivkers' International union has issued its annual statement of tho finances and condition of all local unions. Tho bona fide membership is placed at 24,221. The income was $428,- 588; the expenditures $884,711. Tho surplus funds in the affiliated bodies amount to $121,950, and the outstand ing loans to $00,764. The Central Labor union of Now York has recently come into possession of evidence showing that tho law against foreign contract labor is being violated in a wholesale manner. A flattie with a Bee, An observer writes ttt that lie Is satis, fied that there is just as mnch rivalry between hamming birds and bees in their quest for honey as there is between members of the human race in their struggle for the good things of fife, and describes a recent quarrel that lie saw in a Portland garden, where a humming bird witli an angry dash expressed its disapproval of the presence of a big bumblebee in the same tree. The usually pugnacious bee incontinently fled, hut lie did not leave the tree. He dashed back and forth among the branches and white blossoms, the humming bird in close pursuit. Where will yon find another pair that could dodge and dart equal to these? They were like flashes of light, yet the pursuer followed the track of the pur sued, turning when the bee turned. Iu Bhort, the bird and tho bee controlled the movements of their bodies more quickly and more accurately than ho conld control the movements of his eyes. The chase was all over in half tho time that it lias taken to tell it, but the ex citement of a pack of hounds after a fox was no greater. Tho bee escaped, the bird giving up the who! t $ liuse and alighting on a twig,—Portland Tran script. The Stomach of a FIHII. Mr. Hyman Herman, who lias lieen fishing in Keg creek, near Sanderson vilio, (la., during tho past week, lias re- He had most remarkable luck in the piscatorial sport, and brought to some of his friends large assortments of fish. He gave one string to Mr. Mack Duggan, and while the cook was clean ing a large channel catfish she was dunifonnded by discovering two brass buttons in tho fish's stomach. On close inspection the following inscription conld lie discerned on one of the buttons: "Gen. Wheeler, 1804." The other but ton contained these words, "Sherman bound for the sea." They wero scratched on the under side of the button by soino sharp pointed in strument. It is an historical fact that during Sherman's raid through Georgia lie camped one night on the hanks of Keg creek, on the same ground which General Wheeler had occupied the night before, and soon after a freshet washed the but tons in the creek. Mr. Duggan has the buttons and intends sending them to the World's fair. He lias been offered twelve dollars for them, lint refused the offer.— Atlanta Constitution. Summer Dress uf Congressmen. Visitors to congress are not struck by the dignity of attire affected by senators and representatives iu these warm days. True, the atmosphere of ixitli chambers is almost unbearable lately, but that need not deter the senators from main taining a little care in assuming negli gee. To seo a great legislator strolling around in limp trousers that would apt ly costume a Joshua Whitcomb is not edifying. The absence of waistcoats is not a crime; indeed, it is a sensible fashion if proper care is bestowed upon the arrangement of the garments that remain. In this connection the fashion bulletins for congress should advise gentlemen who luy aside their waist coats to supply themselves with ample belts, or even the despised "Gordon sash," if tliey wish to preserve the ad miration of visiting constituents. It is very hard to have any veneration for a body of men costumed with the lack of care displayed by the senate for the last few weeks.—Mrs. McGuirk in Kate Field's Washington. I'ope'u Villa for Sale. Another historic house is in the mar ket. This is Pope's villa, Twickenham, which once belonged to the great poet, and was the scene wherein he composed many of his works. It has been occu pied for nearly a quarter of a century by Mr. Henry Labouchere, M. P., and was some years ugo associated with tho performance of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" by a company of aiuateurH and professionals, which formed quite an ejfoch in the history of pastoral plays. The grounds are extensive and run down to the river's edge. The show place ill them is the grotto which is supposed to have been Pope's favorite resort. The villa is prettily situated in a nest of trees and faces toward Ham house, the residence of the Earl of Dy sart. —London Star. Motors for Hot Weather. It is not merely an aggravation when a pedestrian, with pleasing oxpectancy, Beeks the sidewalk shaded by great buildings, to find, instead of the cool ness belonging to siiade, outrushing volumes of hot air througli grating and basement window. How much more comfortable it would be for the occu pants were the hot furnaces and boilers allowed to go fireless through summer, and to grow cool, cold, frigid—until the latter sort of weather came again! This might be accomplished by bringing in a cold electric motor or two and a couple of cold wires. It would not only con duce to the bodily comfort of all in the vicinity, butjio a profitable change for power users.—Practical Electricity. A llljf Project. Tho government of Holland has a proj ect on hand to drain tho Zuyder Zee.

The cost of tho dam is estimated at £8,075,- 000 and of the draining at £18,000,000. It is estimated that thirty years will be required to complete tho whole.—Paris Letter.

The Flnaiiciul Kriitor of the New York Sun llttH a Monopoly of Knowledge. The gentleman who for mauy yearn lias written weekly letters on economics for the New York Sun's Monday edi tions, signing his articles "Matthew Marshall," has never been expected to see clearly labor's siSe of those ques tions. A quarter of a century in Wall street as a speculator and as the chief journalistic representative of the street is not calculated to fit one to see the things of this life with the eyes of the honest and industrious producers. Mat thew Marshall certainly has not been so influenced. In the five years that I have been closely reading his weekly con tributions to The Sun I have never once seen the slightest evidence that he could discern any but the side of capitalism, j though he frequently pretends to look at an economic question in all its bear ings. Yet this man is quoted as a relia ble authority by half of the business men in New York when the labor ques tion is under consideration. In his article published two weeks ago Mr. Marshall made some state ments which go to show what I mean. Referring to the mayoralty election of 1886 in New York, he says of Henry George and the voters who supported him at the polls: Mr. George had never held office and hud absolutely no political experience and no rep- i utation for administrative ability. Uis sole recommendation was the vigor with which ho hud portrayed the miseries of the poor and the confidence with which he propounded his single lund tux scheme as a panacea for them. On this ground alone he obtained ersons at large in New Ywrk duriug the summer mouths. In BO mo of these coses the idleness is enforced because of the slackness of trade. In other cases these persons have simply taken the first serious step that leads to the gutter, hut are still rcclaimable. It is conceivable that both these classes may be temporarily iu want of money to pay for a night's lodging, and on the whole It is better for them and for their self respect that they should pass the night in ono of our public parks rather than that they should meet the degradation of a police cell or accept the city's charity. There are a few soft hearted people in the world who believe that the victims of "enforced idleness" are deserving of "commiseration" if nothing more, but of course those of that mind have not the advantages of a discrimination con structed after the Wall street pattern. Mr. Marshall not only knows that the working people of tho towns and cities are well off or undeserving, but he also refuses to be humbugged by the grum bling of tho "calamity howling" fanners. Ho settles their case in a few words: What the western farmers and southwestern planters suiter from is debt voluntarily in curred, which no coining of silver or printing of hank notes will discharge. The state of being in debt is so enjoy able that our farmers have voluntarily entered it. They wero not oompelled by their necessities to buy on credit. They had the money to pay in cash, but they i longed to revel in the delights of the i debtor at from 8 to 20 per cent. It . never occurred to Mr. Marshall that the : farmer went into debt for the same ! reason that the Missouri negro ate the groundhog—there was no other meat in ; tho house. It was a "groundhog case" | with tho farmers. But Mr. Marshall ! should not be expected to know any- 1 thing about the farmers. He lives on i the lower end of Manhattan island, and I is one of those highly amusing individ- ! uals ono meets on ever y hand in New | York. These very wise and impatient denizens of the great metropolis believe j that the sun rises just off Rockawav beach and sets in tho Hackcnsack meadows. Under an appropriate heading the New York Press reproduces tho following paragraph from The New England Mag azine for the puiq>oßo of showing "what tho free traders seek to introduce here:" 1 The English journeyman has an unattractive i life. Starting out to hiH work, porhaps miles away, at 0 o'clock In the summer morning, | with a heavy basket of tools ami food over his i shoulder, he often works until 8 absolutely break fast less; then half an hour is allowed him for his cheerless meal of cold tea and bread and fat bacon; at noon he has an hour or less for what dinner he has brought with him and at 4 o'clock ends his day's tiusk, ho ■ sometimes taking a light lunch iu the middle j of the afternoon. Leaving out the tariff and free trade j claptrap The Press attempts to work in, 1 What is there in the condition of the 1 English journeyman that makes him so i much worse off than his American brother? He starts to work at 6 o'clock a. m. and gets through at 4 p. m., with one hour and a half deducted for meals. That is, he works eight and a half hours a dav. Of course we all understand i that he is not allowed to arise in time to 1 get his breakfast before 0 o'clock, as nearly all the workers in this country do. If the Englishman did that he would be able to devote that half hour at 8 o'clock to reading and resting, ! which is not permitted in tyrannical Englund. It is surprising that the hard 1 hearted "free traders" allow their work (nau to oat even so few as three times 'luring a day of ten hours. Jos. R. BUCHANAN, j GEMS IN VERSE. The Voiceless. We count the broken lyres that rest Where the sweet waiting singers slumber. But o'er their silent ulster's breast The wild flowers who will stoop to number? A few can touch the magic string. And noisy I'aine is proud to win them! Alas! for those that never sing. But dio with all their music in them! Nay, grieve not for the dead alone. Whose song has told their hearts' sad story: Weep for the voiceless, who have known The cross without the crown of glory! Not whero Leucadian breezes swept O'er Sappho's memory haunted billow, But whero the glistening night dews wept On nameless sorrow's churchyard pillow. Oh, hearts that break and give no sign. Save whitening lips ami faded tresses. Till death pours out his cordial Wine, Slow dropp'd from misery's crushing presses! If singing breath or echoing chord To every hidden pang were given. What endless melodies were poured, As sad as curth, as sweet as heaven! —Oliver Wendell Holmes. Junette's Hair. "Oh, loosen the snood that you wear, Jancttc, Let me tangle a hand in your hair, ray pet"— For the world to mo has no daintier sight Than your brown hair veiling your shoulders white. As I tangled a hand in your hair, my pet.

Your beautiful plenty of hair, my pot. Your eyes had a swimming glory, Janette Revealing the old, dear story, my i>ct; They wero gray, with that chastened tinge of the sky When the trout leaps quickest to snap thi rty— And thoy matched with your golden hair, my pet. Your lips—but I have no words, Janette; Thoy were fresh as the t witter of birds, iny pet; When the spring is young and the roses art* wet With dowdrops in each red blossom set. And they suited your gold browu hair, uiy pet. Oh, you tangled my life in your hair, Janette; 'Twas a silken and golden snare, my pet; But so gentle a bondage my soul did implore The right to coutinue your slavo evermore. With my Angers enmeshed in your hair, iny pet. Thus ever 1 dream what you were, Janette; With your lips, and your eyes, and your hair, my pet; In tho darkness of desolate years I moan.
