PEERS AS WORKING MEN. British Noblemen Have Done all Sorts of Menial Labor. The Earl of Hardwicke, who has been recounting his experiences as a worker in mines, from Tamtania to Montana and Alaska, "working for trade -union wages at rock -dril- ling for ten hours a day," might have found is sympathetic compan- ion in no less a fellow -peer than the late Marquess of Salisbury, who in his young clays toiled from sunset to sundown, digging for gold at Ballarat, living in a wooden Acuity and boiling his own "billy." But there ha.ve been scores of British noblemen who have kaown• what it is to work -and work hard too -with their hands for the bread they ate. Few men of any class have had 8 more varied experience of "rougle- ing it" than the present Baron Lyveden. As Courtenay Vernon, before he came to his title he burnt d his hands to a score of different forms of menial labor: He took the Qncen's shilling as a private soldier, 11'11E4 a strolling actthe an- swered the "Steward!" on half -a - dozen ships, worked before the mast, dug for geld, grew vege- tables for sale ----in fact, it is almost easier to say what he did not tio than what he did to earn his bread.
