It ena bles tho horny handed sons of toil to say they will not ?lo tiny work, nnd that i.i a privilege which no English workingman ?.vor lota [xisd unhcoded. If tho weather lr (Ino on his holiday the English work man goon ont imo the country, rolls around on tho glints and gets drunk. If it ls rainy, be stays in thc city and gets drunk just the samo. Drink is tho ono solid stan-1 hy ol' tho honest laboring; mun over Itere. Do you think th?ro is monty enough in tho world lo make tho average run of pOOpl? e er hore K elly work oil Saturday afternoons or othor holidays? I don't, ut any rate.

Ho wa? all right till tho holiday Kt ruck in. ami from that moment he wai en lost to mo as though ho had fallen overboard in inldoccon with a 200 pound i phot ?it hts heels. Offers of extra pay bad no weight at all with him, and ho wan <leaf alike to prayers, entreaties und Bncorn. Ile wanted his holiday, and that settled it. That is tho way it runs, all along the'line. A tailor promised ino a suit of dollies last week. They didn't COinO, but Ibo tailor did. Ile was full of apologie.; and garlic, lie told me leonid not have my garment.i for soyeral days. I nuked him why not, and ho responded With tears that it was a race week, and nothing OII earth would induce tho men t^ werie. They hail all gone to thc races, ho went, on, and they probably wouldn't sober up for ::t least three or four days to Come. This pi . i n for racing In England Is tho mod amazing (lung ono Comes in Contact willi. At Ibo Derby there were fully a half million people. Two-thirds of them, at least, were recruited from tho very 1 iwe.it elua). 1 Biipposo nt least 5,000 tn o actually walked from London to F>o:n and hack, a round distan?a of forty mile;, in order to seo tho racing, to wdllch t!i >y had barely money enough to purch e o nu entrance. Around mir conch OS i' stood drawn up Inside thc tracie there were always half n dozen wretches who ncrambled on tho ground for posses ( pion of tho chicken bones recently thrown Itsldo by tho members of our party during luncheon. The sight would have stirred ono's pity but for tho reflection that if thc hungry fellows had remained nt homo r.:i l fed themselves on tho few shillings it cost them lo sw ibo race, there would not have been tho slightest necessity for their wolf like wrestles for' hones and scraps.

THE WORLD'S WASTE. fortune* Annually Thrown Awi?- in Un considered TrlUaa. I wish I had a nickel for every dollar wasted in this .urary. Yes. I'll reduco that proposition to n cent on tho dollar? an<l then ret.ro rich in n fow years. 1 don't mean wasted by tho neb, but by tho poor nml tho moderately well off. And when f say waste, I don't Include Howers, pictures or articles solely for tho vyo. nor do I consider it waste for a rich mail to have a suit for every day in the year, or -r>00 pairs of pantaloons, like that estimable Now York gentleman, Berry Wall. I mean waste In every day, mat tel- of fact orticles such un everybody uses. I>'t US take pins, for a starter. Yin? have doubtless IXMMI nuked what heroine* of thc pins and didn't know. Nolxxly knows, not even the English Journal that recently offered a cash prim for a .elu tion of' tho problem. They aro lort, and that's all you can soy about it. But why should they In? lost? You don't lom.? your diamond pin, although it's not much larger than a common brass ono. It ia evident that tho pins could be tokf n caro of, and that they ought to be let figures attest. There are 00,000,000 people in the United Btatcs, and I um BUTO evory ene on an avernge loses flvo cents' worth of pinn per annum. Hint inakoo $3,000, 000 a year gone nowhere.

But that is only a beginning. Lot us tuke up cigars and pipes as tho next arti cle on the catalogue of waste. Don't l>o alarmed! I am not going to computo tho c<x,i of smoking and call it waste, because 1 am a smoker and have scruples. I nm going lo concedo that money invested In tobacco ls well invested und tlionwepea your eyes to another awful k'ak. I^et HM approach tho subject gradually, hecaUSS it la vast, Thero uro 1,000,000 cigars a wcok smoked in this city and 2,000,000 pijx> loads of tobacco. Don't nsk me how 1 know this data-you put me out. Av erage cost of cigar lo consumer, flvo cents; total cost, $50,000, Average coot of pi[x> load, ono cont; t nal cost, $20,000. Cl rand total, $70,000 a week expended, and of this amount one-fifth ls wasUtL. After long observation and careful calcu lation I lind that one-Oft h of cadi cigar Li thrown away unsmokod and tho samo proportion of each pq>o load. Thia mar Seem largo, hut I am confident that it U ra!her under thc average, and it repre sents a loss of $14,000 a week, or $728, ooo a year. Remember, this in rh ii.ul.? phia alone, mid I can wifely multiply it by fifty to include the rest of the country, (hand total, $?10,400.000, on which my percentage is $304,000. I already havo n respectable income you perceive. Now WO eoiue to liquors -vinous, malt and spirituous-tO l>o treated lu tho samo way. The average man leaves a portion in his glass; not much, to bo ?ure, for times aro baril, but at least a twentieth. Another wasteful habit prevails of blow-. lng the froth oil beer, but I will lot that pass. To figures nguiu: Blx thousand saloons, nt IOU drinks j>er saloon and av erogo cost eight contH, equals $48,000 a day, or $18,024,000 a year. Fivo per cent, waste equals $051,200 for I^lTndeU phia. ?32,.'?00,000 for tho whole country and $828,000 for me. I nm only in tho suburbs of this sub ject, and already I nm appalled at tho amount of territory that stretches l>eforo me I will havo to bunch my blt?. It ls estimated by careful housekeepers that ono-tentli of each JK>1 of cofTco or tea is not lit to drink, und w hat to do with tho slops no one known.
