The Workingman's Home.
BY LILLIAN:W.:BETTS.
"She who rocks the cradle 'rules the
world." No truer maxim was ever
written. She who rocks the cradle, be
it a soap -box, the affectionate device of
necessity, or the deinty result of artistic
skill; the foot that geverns the cradle's
motions, the voice that sings the lullaby
are governing forces, for they represent
a personality that shapes the destiny of
the individual. A nation is the sum of
its individuals.
What training does the average
woman receive to fit her for her high
destiny as a force in the nation's life?
Fortunate if any, no naatter what 'her
sphere. Greek,Latin,music,art, sciences,
modern languages -these receive all the
time and attention that the world de-
mands, with the understanding that
training of this kind fits for any mission,
But special training with a view of pro-
ducing a well-equipped and intelligent
wife and mother,to preside in a working
man's home is in nine -tenths of cases
most criminally neglected. What is the
condition to -day of nine -tenths of our
workingmen's homes? In the cities
especially.
We go into one. It is eleven o'clock
in the morning. The bed in the dark
bedroom is still unmade; breakfast
dishes are still standing, unwashed, on
the table innocent of table -cloth. A
good fire is burning in the stove, from
which the ashes have not been cleaned;
these have been dragged out on the
hearth to make room for the last raked
through the grate. Sometime the ashes
have been spilled over the floor, and
carelessly shoveled up, leaving the evi-
dence of their presence on the boards.
The broken lounge has been used as a
hed ; the quilts are simply thrown back.
In the sink stand a fryitig-pan and a
pot, with cold, greasy water in them.
A tub, with some partially washed
clothes, stands on two chairs. Half -past
eleven! The door opens. A child
about three years old, with dirty face,
worse dress -that is, ragged beyond re-
pair -shoes with nearly all the buttons
missing, hangs on to the mother's dress -
'skirts. The mother, a woman about
forty years old, holds a baby about a
year old on her hip. She is strong and
good-looking. She has on a woolen skirt
trimmed with velvet -the gift of some
well-disposed but injudicious employer:
the trimming is ripped and torn, the
material spotted and dirty; a waist
minus most of the buttons, and of en-
tirely different material and color from
the skirt, and much too small for the
wearer, partially covers the upper part
of the woman's body. Her hair has not
been combed since the preceding day,
but this causes no annoyance or com-
ment. She leans carelessly against the
door -frame, finishing a con iersation that
began about nine o'clock in the morning
with her neighbor in the back room on
the same floor. Her neighbor resembles
her in all respects, except that she is
much younger, and has but one child,
now three Months old. This three
months' old baby affords the opportun-
ity for endless visits. The older woman
is teacher, the younger learner. Cer-
tainly it is necessary that she should
have some instruction. She, like her
neighbor, worked in a factory from the
thne she was twelve years old until she
was married. •
The conversation is brought to a sud-
den end by the appearance of the older
children of our front -room occupant
from school.
These children are a girl of ten, one of
eight, and a boy of six. All are ragged,
and their clothes are the cast-off gar-
ments of. the children of the mother's
employer, and are as suitable to their
condition as the velvet -trimmed dress of
the mother. The clothes were soiled
when given, and stitches were broken,
and the rough usuage to which they
!awe been subjected has not improved
their appearance.
Before they are in the room five min-
utes they are quaareling. A quick blow
administered here and there brings out
howls or frowns, as the different dispoi
sitions are manifested. The boy holds
the baby while the mother puts on the
water to boil for the only beverage ex-
cept b_eer with which they are all famil-
iar. The oldest girl is sent to the but-
cher's on the block for a pound of chuck -
steak. Before this appears the husband
and father comes in. Tall, strong, sutty
and gloomy, he comes in the door. A
discouraged glance about the rooms, a
careless look at the disorderly woman
responsible for the disorder, a " hullo "
to the chubby baby who stretches out
his arms to him, and the man sits down
before the table, bare except for the
crumbs and dishes, waiting for his din-
ner. Something is wrong; what he
does not know. His home is like all the
other homes of which he has any know-
ledge. The steak appears, is fried, and
eaten with bread and tea. Dinner is
eaten from the table just as it stands.
The children vary the monotony by
eoarreling among themselves, repeating
some tale of fancied wrong endured in
school at the hands of a teacher who is
supposed to cherish feelings of animosity
toward the poor man's child and govern
in favor of the better -dressed and bet-
terenennered pupils. Already smarting
under the consciousness of labor that
does not receive an honest compensation,
unsatisfied because life yields him noth-
ing, and lies before him without any
promise of a change except old age,with
hunger unappeased he leaves the table
to stop at the corner for a glass of beer.
Here he finds a neighbor, a counterpart
of himself mentally and physically.
They follow the American custom, and
treat each other; so the one glass of
beer becomes two. If it stops there it
is well. The afternoon begins and ends
as do all other afternoons in these lives.
The only variation that does come is a
worse one --idleness.
Some men tind a condition slightly
different at home. We will go with one
of the others. •
It is the same hour. We find close to
the window a harassed, thin woman,
stitching with all her might on a sewing
reachirie. Piled high on ttvo chairs,
standing against the wall, are a number
of white muslin chemises. She has
been workieebwith all her might since
her huslettelleft at half -past six. The
bed is uninale, dishes unwashed, stove -
hearth covered v.-ith ashes,floor unswept.
A calico ;rapper. now ripped in several
places, for ivhich she paid one dollar,
said from ahieh the original color has
long since disappeared, covers her. Her
hair is like her neighbor's on- the floor
below -in the condition it was when she
rose from her bed. A tin can which has
eonteined beer stands on the table near
her. The door opens. In comes a girl
of nine years, with a skimpy dress, rip-
ped and shabby. In her arms2a heavy,
chubby baby, who is clothed, like the
older child, in the ready enade garments
purchased because the mother had "00
time," she said, to make them. It was
true, she spent all her time earning the
money to buy them. Still, it would
have been more strictly true if she had
said she had no knowledge of how to
make them. She knew how to make
women's undergarments -that is what
she did before she was riiarried. Of
house -work, hand sewing, -the cutting of
garments to fit, she had not the slightest
idea. -There was not money, when she
married, to supply the deficiencies caus-
ed by her ignorance, and she was forced
to add to the family income by doing
what she knew how to do.
Twelve o'clock found about the same
preparation for dinner as was made in
the room below. There was this differ-
ence: long,tiresome hours of labor,spent
with the constant thought of how little
they yielded, had their effect on nerves
.that were strained and diseased from
infancy. The children from school were
'greeted with frowns and sharp words,
and a chalice remark that "it was a pity
a man couldn't have his dinner without
waitiu' " was met with the rejoincler,t `Go
where you like it better." The `1free
lunch" just meets the case, and, with an
oath and a slam of the door,the husband
and father disappears.
Who is to blame for this state of
affairs ?
It's A1wa4S the Way.
"Didn't I tell you so?" said a gentlem n to an
quainta.nce whom he chanced to ineet on the
street; "it's always the way." "Whatalways
the way?" inquired a mutualfriend of he two
men who happened along just then. " W ye just
this," replied the first speaker: "you se Smith
here' the last time I met him he had one of the
worst coughsyou ever heard. He con plained
of a doss of appetite, of night -sweats, of low
spirits and other unmistakable pren onitory
symptoms of consumption. I told him o get a
supply of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical D scovery
at once. He did so, and look at him no'v! Did
yen ever see 4. healthier looking man? The Dis-
covery has snlatched a thousand from consump-
tives' grsves. I knew It would cure Smi.de. It's
always the way."
A Terrible Tragedy.;
The saddest and most revoltin • trag-
edy that has been enacted in oronte
for many years, took place Wed esday
on Avenue road. Little blue-ey d Jon-
nie Fellows, just six weeks old, the pet
of his parents because he was their only
boy, was killed in a horrible way. His
head was severed from his, body, while
his right arm was cut off, boiled and
partly eaten. The being who perpetrat-
ed this diabolical deed was the one who
of all others in this world loved him the
most. He was killed by his mother.,
He was killed ,by one who loved him
with a passionate devotion. Reason
tottered from her throne, and .acting on
a fiendish inspiration. Mrs. F llows took
aitable knife and sawed off t e head of
her baby boy. Mr. Fellows aiicl his wife
are natives of Shropshire, England.
They were married in July, 1, 83, at To-
ronto. Mrs. Fellows has giv n birth to
four children, the second h ving died
when a month old. She bee me insane
after giving birth to her thir child and
was placed in the- Asylum in February
last. She was there three m ntlis and
apparentlY recovered. 'He husband
was warned that she mus be taken
good care of, ; and since - he birth
of the last child six weeksago Mt.
Fellows has been cornelled to
keep a constant watch over his wife.
Being a laborer and receivin only $7
a week, he has been unab e to pro-
vide his wife with the consta t nursing
and expensive nourishment required.
She had consequently becomt so weak
that she suffered a second attack of
dementia. Mrs. 'Fellows was very un-
communicative and held no ptercourse
with her neighbors. She wa devoted-
ly attached to her children ad spent a
great amount of time in loo ing after
their wants.

Some Reflections on nnexa-
ton and Commercial nion.
(By- Lolly W. Pop, Esq., M. S. II. E.)
About the funniest thing o e can' hear
just now is an argument on ointii-ercial
Union, and yet it is a little p tiable too
to see the poor felloiv;who is •pposed to
it have his long -cherished, an what he
formerly considered unanswe able argu-
ments pushed, crowded, crust ed out of
existence, as they are sure te be.- But
presently you will see a riumphant
smile light up his sombre, elancholy-
countenance as he brings trp is last and
most powerful -reserve with which he
hoped to shatter his (ippon nt's argu- -
merit "alt up iuto smither ens "-To
enter into Commercial ,Union with the
United States is to be disloya to Great
Britain. You ask him what s disloyal
about it. " Why can't you see, the
whole thing ie disloyal." "Is it disloyal
to get a larger profit on our 1orses and
other saleable articles ?" " o; I don't ;
know that it is." "Isit disl yal to give
our manufacturers a larger fie d to work
in ?" "No, I can't say that i is." "Is 4
it disloyal to develop our Mineral re-
sources?" "No, I Wouldn't like to say
that." "Is it disloyal to infuse new
life into our towns and citieS, to save
our farmers from financial ruin, to rescue
our country from the _ disgrace and
destruction which is sure itore'sult from
her present curse ?" "WO." Then
you get mad and ask him "What the
deuce is disloyal about it then ?" Then
he has you (or thinks he has).-" Com-
mercial Union will lead to Annexation."
You leave the scerie disgusted, and for
the benefit of our readers we will take-
up the argurneet.
Why is it thatso many people are
crying out for Annexation ? It is not
because they have anything against
Great Britain, not because Great Britain
has done our country any harm, but be-
cause we are loaded down with debt,
while the United States have an immense
surplus: Our mineral resources are un-
developed, theirs are a great source of
wealth; our farmers; business .men and
manufacturers have a constant struggle
to get along, theirs are growingmore
prosperous every day. Our cities and
towns are almost at a etandstill, theirs
are growing fast. People see these
things anti naturally suppose that if we.
were absorbed into the Union eve would
share in the general prosperity. Can, we
blame them? Now it has ,been !shown
time and again that Commercial Union
will bring back prosperity to our coue-
try ; that it will, in fact, give us all the
benefits to be derived from Annexation
and still leave us tree to govern ourselves
as we have hitherto done. If the cause
for Annexation is removed it is surely
reasonable to suppose that the demand
will die a natural death. But; says one
of our readers, what if this precious
schemeshould fall through or should
prove an absolute failure when tested?
Well, we can only answer that when
that calamity does occur it will be plenty
of time to talk about Annexation. Then
Miss Canada can go to Mother Britain
and say with a olear conscience,
"Mamma, we have done all we could,
we have tried every expedient, and W5
find we cannot thrive in your family,
we'll have to jine Uncle Sernuel's."

Only a Woman's Voice.
The bell had rung and the car was
about to start on its down town trip
from the Exposition grounds, yesterday
afternoon, when he boarded the car.
It did not requiee more than a glance to
convince everyone who saw him that he
was drunk -very much eo, in fact. He
sank into an unoccupied seat in the cor-
m+ leaned his weary head against the
faipe-box and in a moment was in that
stOpor whidh too much whisky pro:
duces. The driver evidently knew him
and smiled as he said : "I'll attend to
you when we get down here a piece."
In a few moments the car stopped and
the driver stepped inside, shook the
sleeper and told him in en auctioneer
tone of voice to "wake up and get off."
But the passenger did neither. Then a
gentleman sitting next to him endeavor-
ed to arouse him, but beyond a mutter-
ed remark t at could not be understood
he remaine •a fixture in his seat.
This sort f thing was becoming mon-
o onous wh n a little woman was seen
a proachin the car. A slight rain was
f 11i4 and she daintily picked her way
a ross the iiddy street and stepped up -
o the car. She glanced inside but did
ot enter, and spoke but one word -
'John. " It was not a 'loud "John,'
• ut throug the befuddled brain of that
runken sl eper it seemed to flash, pene-
rating an starting into life every fac-
lty, and s though an electric battery
ad compl ted the circuit directly be-
eath him he sprang up, and as grace -
ally as wa possible to him left the car
upported y that little woman whose
oice had almost sobered him.
Ile mora of the little incident can be
rranged io suit the taste, but the sue
erwrity o the female voice, under such
ineumstan es cannot be doubted. --From
