WOMEN COAL-HANDLERS.
They Tokt Faithfully From Mornlue Till
NlBht for a Mere rittutirr.
Among the workers aro women and
girls from about thirteen years up. To
each gang there wnulil be throe or four
men one to empty tlie tub, one to
empty the basket, uml one at some
heavy point near. So rapid were the
motions that they seemed often to be
worked by machinery. Small girls and
boys were present to gather up the bas
kets ntid pass them to one who sat
astraddle the bulwark and threw them
baek into the coal boat from morn
ing till night these people worked,
stopping only at noon for an hour or
so for their two ounces of rice and their
lacquer boxes of tish and vegetables
Not an angry word was over heard.
All were jolly, laughing; a:id talking.
Now and then some woman would say
something to her neighbor at the ex
pense of us who were watching from
the quarter-deck then one by one look
and laugh. A blighter, happier set of
people I have never seen at a picnic
indeed, none as bright, for at a picnic
there is always a sort of listless nppoar
ance of having nothing to do. Here
all were busy; all were working, and
working witii a heart. One of the two
days our siiip was loading, four or live
other ships near by were also doing the
same. In other words these people are
not at a picnic but this thing goes on
more or less through the whole year,
the great Japanese coal lields being
close by. They arc all clean and tidv.
Many of the girls had their hair done
up in true style. Over every head was
a blue kerchief tied under the chin ton
keep out the dust. Many of the gown.
were patched and some had holes in
them, but not a single one hail the
slightest appearance of piitiiliueso. All
were clean, all looked cheerful, all
were ready to laugh, and all seemed
happy. Yet the men who did the
heavy work received only fifteen and
twenty sen a day. the women ten and
twelve, and thechildreii live and seven:
add to this two ounces of rice for their
lunch. These people are the wives and
children of lifherinen and fanners in
the near neighborhood, who do this
kind of work when the crops are laid
by aiid when their husbands and fath
ers are out at sea after lUli.
We noticed many of the young
women ami children with delicate,
well cut features and sweet expressions
of face. They evidently do not regard
work as a hardship. What riirht have
they thus to toil and be happy? In our
civilized Christian lands men are
taught that work is a penalty and they
go at as if they had a grudge against
their employers. Here these people
work for a pittance, and then seem to
feel kindly toward the man who pays
the pittance for their work. As I haw
said in my other letters, they are a
strange people. I have studied them
as best I could. Heretofore in travel
ing I have been able to hold some in
tercourse with the people whereby we
could interchange ideas. Hut I have
not attempted to talk with these, even
through an interpreter. I have stud
ied them as I study the crows Hying at
eventide to their roosts; as 1 study the
awts climbing over hill and valley,
mountain and gorge in their ceaseless
toils ; as J study the spider spinning
gossamer threads and with them mak
ing upon the air geometrical (igures;
as I study the bees in musical hum toil
ing in their labor for sweets. I have
studied these people and leaves them
with keen regret that I had not more
time to give to the study. If any of
you should be induced by what I write
to make a tour of .Japan 1 envy you
that your pleasure is in the future and
int like mine, all aye, all in the past.

"Laura," said young George Van
Perkins tenderly, "do you think you
could consent to leave this beautiful
home, where your innocent childhood
was spent, where you have grown to
young womanhood, and where you have
been surrounded by every luxury that
heart could desire or that fdiul and in
dulgent parents could bestow do you
think you could leave all these to be
come the wife of a young man without
fame or wealth, and who must go to the
Far West to carve out his fortune?"
"I think I could, George," replied
Laura, softly.
"You would miss many of tlio con
veniences, and enjoyments of city life,"
pursued George, "in u community of
hard-working settlers."
"I should bo one of the workers my
self," exclaimed the fair girl, with
beautiful enthusiasm.
"I was sure you would, my noble
Laura. With youth, health, devotion
to each other, and the future before us,
there is no reason why we can not In
happy, even in n Western frontiei
village, where there arc no theaters, no
Browning clubs, no street lamps, n
daily papers, no cable cars, no swell
dinner parties "
"Nono of theso things, George, are
essential to real happiness."
"And where the trivial customs that
prevail in o-called reined circles are
unknown; wliero women never turn to
look at each other's dresses as they pass
on tho street "
"What's that, Mr. Van Perkins?"
said Laura, in an altered tone. "Is that
tho kind of an existenco to which you
would doom meP Kings for sen-ant
Victoria, show the gentleman out."

Dr. Stumpf says that a piece of ice
placed in a bag, and then in a box or
basket containing enough barley-chaff
to surround it with a layer of live or
e'w inches thick, will not lose 25 per
cent of its weight in live or six days,
in a room the temperature of which is
between 70 degrees and 80 degrees.
This suggests an excellent way to pre
serve various articles of food and drink,
as well as ice itself.
Chicken Pie: Cut up your chick

tin-pan, lino it with crust, put in the
meat, and pour in the gravy from the
pot; make it nearly full, cover over

A poultry raiser up in New York
State makes his hens work for their
victuals. He says: 1 like to feed somo
ear corn to my chickens. 1 feed about
half in this way. The cars are thrown
on sfaw and tho birds peck and scratch
away at them. They have to work
hard for every kernel they get; and
this working keeps them busy and out
of mischief. Hesides, it is the working
lien that pays; a l-i.y hen is like a lazy

If the children have already taken
cold and cough, complaining of a tight

teaspoonful of salt; bathe the chest
with this, applying with cloth, sponge

orously and rubbing with a rough
towel. The glow that will appoar will
not be merely external, but will extend
throughout the body, giving a feeling
of buoyancy and great ease in breath

Only a month hko Geo. A. Clarke,
colored, the winner of !f. .000 in the
drawing of The Louisiana State Lot
tery on the J 3 tli nit., w.is making both
ends meet on the siiiall sHlary of $10
per month. His good fortune was the
result of one of thoJe 'dreams" so often
read about, but wlii-h, lie states, really
prompted him to purchase one-cwen-tieth
of ticket No. S.1S0, which drew
the second capital prize of .f 100 000.
He now has a comfortable home which
he purchased but a lew days after the
receipt of the money, which lie re
ceived by return post after placing
same forci llvction through the Merch
ants National Hjiuk. He invested
$l,f)00 in liis new home, and says he
and his wife can now enj y the com
forts of Hie by careful investment of
his surplus funds.
A similar instance is that of Mr
John McDonnott, who was tho other
lucky holder. He is an employe at
Kyan's Mill, and was formerly the
recipient of a small bounty, only an a
sustenance. He held another twen
tieth of the same ticket, No. S,180, and
awoke one morning to lind himcelf

investing his prize, and says that he
will use it as a nucleus to a large in
come. Tho thousands of dollars that this
institution has circulated since its
organization has lessened tho burdens
of many in needy circumstances. It
is true that people already jmssessed
of means have been lucky lioldeis, but
oftener one will note that the winners
are ones to whom tho good fortune
conies as an Ar.ibinn night dream.

A disease in one part of the body will
eventually fill the whole body with di
easp. Every year or two some part of the
system grows weak and begins to deciy.
Such part should bo removed at once and
new matter bo allowed to take Its p'ace.
There's no need of cutting it out with the

THE C0RR1CT TIME.
There are very few men who do not
pride themselves on always havhur the
co'rect time; and wonderful and deli'-ate
mechanlsniH aro devised to enable them to
do so. Hut the more delicate a chronom
eter Is made, the more subject it lictomes
i to derangement, anil unlras it le kept al
wnys perfectly clean, it soon lose Its une
I fulness. What wonder, then, that the
i human machine so much more delicate
' and intricate than any work of Man
! should reouire to be kept thorough'-
cleansed. The live- is tho main-spring of
tins complex structure, ana on tlio inipti
ritl r left in the blood by a disordered liver,
depend most of the ills that Uesh Is heir
to. hven cansumntio (which U lung
scrofula), is traceable to tho imperfect
action of this organ. Kidney dUcaHes,
skin disease, sick headache, heart disease,
dropsy, and a 1 ng catalogue of grave mal
adies have their origin I'i a torpid or slug
gish liver. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery, by establishing a healthy,
normal a tlou of tho liver, acts as a cure
and preventive of these diseases.
