"Please mt down Mid I will anawer
mij queetiona 70a wish to ask me, but
700 will exoase me if I keep on with 107
work. ' I must hare these done b7 3
o'olook or I cannot got 107 pe7 this
week, and I can hardly afford to wait a
week for that," said a pale, wan woasan
in the top room of one of the largest
tenement booses in the dt7, and it
might be said, too, one of the poorest
ones. While resolring mentally the
moat pertinent questions to ask, the re
porter glanced about the room which
serred aa a home to this woman, who
eridently was superior to suoh surround
ings. It was about ten feet square and
had one window opening on a court,
and though in the top of the house the
light wss scarcely sufficient to permit
her to ace to sew on the buttons she wss
placing with a mechanical swiftness on a
pile of shirts at her feet A cot bed
stood in one corner, which looked clean,
bat scanty aa to clothes and deroid of a
pillow. Two chairs, a board nailed
against the wall for a shelf, s small old
table and a tiny, broken store com
pleted the furniture. There wits no car
pet and the cold wind penetrated the
room.
"Oh, I am finishing these shirts. A
don't make them entirely. There are
many women who take shirts this way
to finish, perhaps U) all somewhere near
two hundred. For these I get soren
cents a doaen; for some I receive nine
and for others 10 cents a dozen. On these
I pnt four stays each, or gussets as some
coll them, three buttons amt one ticket.
On the nine-oeut ones I put the same
number of stays and five buttons and a
ticket; on the 10 cent ones I innst sow
eight buttons, and sew them stronger,
and the same number of stays and
ticket. ”
"80 for seven cents yon sew in forty-
sight stays, thirty-six buttons ami
twelve cards; lor nine cents you put
forty-eight stays, sixty buttons and
twelve cards, and for 10 cents you ses
fortj^eight stnys, ninety-six buttons amt
twelve cards. Is »bat all you do ?’’
•!Oh, no; sometimes [ make women’s
eafieo sacqnc*, for which I get GO cents
a dozen. Those I make on a machine.
I have one, which I hire out for 25 cents
a week when I have no machine work. I
prefer machine work, for somehow it
does not seem as if 1 were working so
bard then, and, besides, it isn't so in
jurious to my eyes, which are growing
quite feeble. I shall have to get glasses,
Hid it will take me some time to.sparw
enough money to get a pair.
"About the aaoqnes ? Each garment
1 have to out and make. I receive an
amount of calico knd must cut a certain
number of aacquee out of it. It takes
dose calculation and there arc very few
■crape left. There arc nine seams in a
aaoqne and a hem all round, besides the
collar and sleeves. Eight buttons and
button-holes go on each. For these, as
I said, I receive five cents apiece, or GO
cents a dozen.
"Oh, yes, indeed, there are branches
(■(•female labor quite as extravagantly
remunerative. For instance, the woman
who rooms with me gets 4fi cents a
dosac for men's drawers. She sews
three seams in each pair, puts on a
waistband double stitched, a hem at the
bottom and sew* on tapes, puts in eye-
Wte at the band and ties a tape in or
pula 00 a buckle and straps, works two
buttoW-hotas and sews on two buttons.
They And the material and thread. Hhe
could hardly afford that, yon sec. Bhe
can make about three dozeu in two days
by working nights. Men, when their
buttons fall off, would perhaps not feel
. ao impatient if they knew that one stitch
more on each would ooet the worker a
loaf of bread per week.
"One of the women on this floor
works at finishing men’s trousers. She
twelve cents a pair. To finish
she puts in buckram, boms them,
■fells a waistband on each pair and fin
iahea off four pockets and sews twelve
buttons. This most be done by hand,
e**! an experienced person can finish
from twelve to sixteen pairs a week.
"Another one makes linen dusters,
for which she gels eight cents a piece.
The smartest worker with a machine
cannot finish more than three a day.
Her room-mate gets 30 cents a dozen for
making woolen overshirts with collars,
bands and bosoms. With all her strength
and industry she cannot finish more
than one doaen per day. A widow who
tyrea bed-sprfbe from them earns 30 to
36 cents a day making button-holes.
Button-hole machines are very high and
it will be long before machine-made
button-holes will supersede the work of
hands. You think these are starvation
prices, but worse than this is the price
paid for making women’s cloaks.
“I know a woman who makes them—
and nicely, too—who only gets $2.60 for
righteen, finished and ready for sale.
You would like to know how we all live
an suoh sums. It is a problem, bat we
do, after a fashion, aa you see. I have

"What do wo eat? Oh, dear, not
much, not enough to givo on# the gout,
I assure you. I cam $2.40 and the rant
of my machine brings it up to $2.66.
Out of this I pay 75 cento for root and
40 cento for coal and wood, which leaves
me $1.60 for food, clothes, medicine, car
fare, theatre tickets and a box at the
opera. Seriously, though, I buy a
quarter of a pound of tea, a half-pound
of sugar, one pound oatmeal, one pint of
beana, two ten-oent loaves of bread,
one ‘soupboue and perhaps it costs a
couple of cents a week for salt, pepper
and lierlw for my soap. I bay a quarter
of a pound of batter » week and some
times I got a little milk lor my tea.
The things I have enumerated generally
form my bill-of fare for a wdek. I take
tea and bread for breakfast, and have
beef soap for two days from one bone
and soap two days from I he beans. ' 1
have tea and bread Jor sapper. I forgot
to say that I buy a half a pound of liver
fur Sunday, and a half a pound of bacon
some other day. Once in a while I buy
a -quart of potato^, which I bake in
place of tho liver. The oatmeal, I for

without something utoro nourishing than

"It is indeed a hard life. You will
find anutog tluae who do what is called
‘slop work* more decayed gentlewomen
than those who have lieen born to
poverty, for those who were born of poor
parents are generally pat to learn trades,
which, though none too well paid, still
afford a better living. Those who wore
never obliged to learn a trade in youth,
when reverses came are only able to do
suoh. work as this. Yon may be sure
that I tried to do hotter, yet yon see me
here, glad when I have health and work.
One of the greatest trials of this kind of
a life is that one is almost Obliged to
live in dirt, for the woman who works
for her very bread must not leave that
work for a minute. Sunday I generally
employ cleaning up my room, mending
my clothes and those of a poor woman
living two flights down, who washes
mine in exchange. 1 don’t go to church.
The washerwoman I mention earns a
dollar and a half a day four days in the
week, In-sides which she gets a good

where she works and her meals. She i«

"Did 1 ever try for any other work
but this?
"For one year 1 tried to got a position
as gaverness, housekeeper, copyist in «
store, and received only insult for my ad
vertisements. I then l>egan answering
advertisements, os my money was all
gone. 1 still found no honest position.
I don’t say honorable, for I only asked
for honest employment. I was too old
for a 'saleslady,' too unattractive to draw
custom, and too ‘particular’ I was told
on two oooosions when I sought employ
ment os housekeeper, and asked the men
abont their famiUea and refused to go
in the capacity they offered. I have
been a book agent, and prefer this life.
Ob, it was not without a long, hard fight
egainst fate that I drifted into this
slave’s life, and worse, tor slavee at least
had food and shelter and care wbensick;
but here I am, and I only form one ont
of an army who work as I do. 1 don’t
complain. I ought to be content, for J
am a capitalist in a small way, os I own
a sewing-machine. A firm for whom I
worked at making men’s underwear sold
it to me on instalments to be paid for in
work. It was a second-hand machine,
and I worked for it and paid $45. It
kept me bound to them for three years,
toearu my bread and pay lor that.’’
Spreading the Diphtheria.
11 'I
It may be remembered that a good
deal of prominence was given last fall
in the papers to the occurrence of
diphtheria in a family in Amsterdam, N.
Y. Two children died at intervals of
severftl months, and a third was taken
sick. The Board of Health appointed a
committee to investigate, which ex
amined the house and its snrroaxdings
and obtained a statement from the ah
tending physician. They have recently
mode their report, finding that there
were no bad conditions existing in or
about the house sufficient to explkin the
appearanow«Uytie disease, and they con
clude that it came from a oat which was
fondled by the child which first fell ill
This oat was found at the time to have
a swollen throat and to be suffering from
a discharge from month and nostrils.
It died a few days afterward. Three
dqya after the death of the oat the child
fell aick with malignant diphtheria and
died in abont a week. During its illness
it played with a doll, which was after
ward given to a younger child, aa H waa
supposed to hare been properly fumi
gated with anlphnr fumea. Tide child,
shortly after being allowed to play with
the doll, also fell ill of diphtheria, and
died. The third child atoo played with
the doD and fell ill, but recovered. The
Board of Health, thereiora, traces the
reappearance ef the dtoeese in the family,
after the death of the first child, to the

The Boy and His Not her.
A young fellow writes as follows
"What do you think of a young lady
while in the company of a dude masher,
remarking of an old schoolmate of hers,
'that he is s good boy, bnt tied to his
old mother’s apron strings, and is of no
good on earth.’ Will not the boy come
out ahead if he supports and cares for
tho mother 7" Come ont ahead ? Well,
of course he will. A girl who would
make snph s remark is not worthy to
blacken the shoes of s boy who is kind
to bis old mother. Booh a girl luto got
no more heart in her than a turnip. It
is each girls ss this one that we hear
of playing the piano while the mother to
mending her stockings, or washing her
white elothes. It is snob a girl that
tells her mother to mind her own bnsi-
nees, when the old lady advises her noi
to stay out more than two or three
hours after midnight with a dude. The
meanest men in the world ore those who
have allowed themselves to drift away
from their mothers and forget all about
them. The best and bravest men in the
world are those who have never been so
proud os when doing something pleasant
for the kind old mother. The most
heartless thing in the world is for a per
son to make snch a remark as that
quoted above about a young man who is
proud of bis mother, and knres her so
that a tear in her 4ye is like a drop of
melted lead on his heart. No boy need
ever be ashamed to be called his moth
er’s boy, and no person with a soul to
save will'ever make trifling remarks on
o sacred a matter as the love of s son
for a good mother.—jP»cV» Sun.

Atlantic on Meagher’s Bock, / Mff Cape
Prospect, twenty-two miles weet of Hali
fax. In this wreck, which occurred on
March 31, 1873, 660 lives were lost out
of a total of 078. The Atlantic sailed
from Liverpool on the 20th of March-
During the first part Of the passage
favorable weather and fair winds were ex
perienced. On the 24th, 25th and 26th
the ship fell in with heavy southwest
and westerly gales, which blew so vio
lently that only abont one hundred miles
a day were mode. On the 31st of Mai ch
the engineer reporter! to the coptain that
his stock of cool had diminished to abont
one hundred and twenty-seven tons. The
Atlautio was then four hundred miles to
the eastward of Sandy Hook, with the
wind southwest, a high
and a Tailing barometer.
The ship waa steaa&g at the rate of
eight knots an hour. The captain con
sidered the risk too gnat to push on, as
he feared he might be, hi the event of a
gale, shut out from any port of supply.
Under the cireamstakom. he decided to
make for Halifax. At ene p. m. be cal
culated that Samhro Jsland was distant
170 miles. At midnight the ship was,
according to the estimate of the cap
tain, forty-eight miles Ronth of Sambro.
The captain then went below, leaving
orders that he should be called at three
o’clock, when he intended to pnt the
ship’s head to the southward and avail
daylight. The second and fourth mates
were in charge.
At about three o’clock the man on the
lookout reported breakers ahead, bnt be
fore the engines could be stopped the
vessel hod struck heavily on the rocks.
She began to labor heavily, and immense
breaker* swept the djtck*. Before tho
boats could tie cleared the ahip heeled
over to port, rendering the starboard
boats useless. Then ensued a scene of
heartrending horto^. The decks were
thronged by the helpless passengers,
who songht in vain for succor. Men,
women and children., clung together in
groups in the pitchy darkness, which
was illuminated every now and then by
the glare of a rocket sent up for assist
ance. Boon the helpless beings on the
deck began to be swept off by the waves,
the storm increasing in intensity.
About two hundred persons were
crushed to death by the foreboom, which
broke loose from ito lashings and
dashed to pieces all who had gathered
on the houae on desk. Every snoceed-
ing wave washed off ito victims. The
officers of the ship tried to get the pns-
agngers into the rigging and outride of
the rails forward, where there #aa the
least danger, the ship being highest
there and less exposed to the waves.

An Apprentice Disciplined.
There was a very unusual proceeding
in the Court of- Quarter Sessions, in
Philadelphia, before Judge Arnold.
Joseph Girhardt, an apprentice to Wil
liam Clark, a morocco manufacturer,
was arraigned on a charge of neglecting
his duties. Mr. Clark testified that the
boy had by his negleet permitted $30
worth of skins to become spoiled. The
jndge said he was satisfied from the
testimony that the boy had been negli

symptoms to mine, iafornnSl me of the great
