It is frequently necessary fur the people to work all through the night in order to (am money to buy their breakfast The children are taught to begin work at three or four years old, and at five or six are kept at it as closely as their elder*. The average weekly earnings of a man, woman, And child are la &!, 10d f and 4d respectively. The maximum wage which a fuM grown man can ob tain is 2s a week, though to do so be roast work night and day, and cannot continue the strain for more than • week at a time, A small family trill will earn say from £i 108 t6 £6 5s per annum, A family consisting of father, mother, and three children—the youngest five years old—lived and worked in one room, 10ft long by 10ft wido and 7ft high. It had one small window, four chairs tnd a table, but no bed* The annual earnings of the family amounted to £7 IBs, so that the case is a fair specimen.

A Lucky Lady.

I rose in the morning I felt qolte tired and worn out. The daintiest of food would nob tempt mo, and what I did eat, had to be forced down. More thstton© doctor was consulted, and for five months I took many medicines, bat only obtained temporary relief. Then as luck would have it, Dr William?' piak pills for pal* people were rec mtnended to me, so I began taking? them,' ' Apparently with the beet of success V * Yts, two boxes improved me so greatly that 1 continued them, and before loan 1 rt gained perfect health, which is evident in my appearance.

Many were suggested but none were right, and the old lady went away sorrowful. A few days later she returned, her face radiant, and beaming npon the librarian, said tha book she wanted was * Gloria Mandi* I Another source of amusement to tha librarian is that class of subscribers fnll of gush and overflowing with the air of tha 'litterateur', who can't read Marion Crawford, you know, because they really can't read books written by * women,' and who epe»k of John Strange Winter as 'he'; while their boast is that theit knowledge of authors, publishers' tricks, and booksellers' w,ays ia wide and accurate »
