THE EVIL OF STRIKES.
Regarding the evil of strikes Cardinal
Gibbons says in an article in Patnam'd
Monthly for Ontober: Experience has
shown that strikes are a drastic and at
best a very questionable remedy for the
redress of the laboret'a grievances. They
paralyze industry, they often forwent
fierce passions, and lead to the destruc••
tion of property; and, above all they re•
salt in inflicting grievous injury on the
laborer himself by keeping him in en-
forced idleness, during which time his
mind is clouded by discontent while
brooding over his situation, and his
family not infrequently suffers from
want of the necessaries of life. The loss
infiieted by strikes on the employers
is not much more than half as great as
that which is sustained by the employed,
who can much less afford to bear it.
It would be a vast strike in the interests
of peace and the laboring classes if the
policy of arbitration, which is now gain-
ing favor for the settlement of inter-
national quarrels, were also availed of
for the adjustment of dispute between
oapttal and labor. Many blessings would
result from the adoption of this method,
for while strikes, as the name implies,
are aggressive and destructive, arbitra-
tion is conciliatory and constructive.
The result in the former case is deter-
mined by the weight of the purse, in the
latter by the weight of the argument.
Pity the troubles of a poor composi-
tor! He has occasionally to tackle
"copy" which looks as if it had been
struck by a western blizzard. A Story
es told of th.e late Dr. Stewart Robinson
who in the old days of the American
Civil, War was in Toronto and drew
crowds of "the intellectuals" to hear his
preaching in old St. Lawrence Hell His
theology and eloquence were very much
enperior to his oaligraphy. When a re•
trident Of Louiseville, Xv., One of the
papers printed his sermon every Monday
morning from his manneeript. This
manuscript was the terror of every
"comp" in the office and the renditions
at times would have wrecked the repo•
tation of the best theologian in Christen-
dom. To a new man 011 one occasion,
was given the firet part of the sermon
including the text *'And eeoth Abraham
afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom."
He got the first two Words alright and
then his trouble began. After studying
the "copy" from every point of view he
arrived at the following: "And Reeth a
broom afar off, with leather emu in
Iioetot." 110 one ehjoyed the joke at
the expense of his writing more than
i». Robinson himself.
GIRL'S DEATH LEAP.
Crowds Watch Her Jump From High
Church Tower.
A young servant girl met with a
tragic fate at Saggart, a small village
near Dublin, recently.
Minnie hunt, aged 21, was em-
ployed as a domestic in the district,
and had scorned strange in manner.
She obtained permission to go to
church, and on her return informed a
fellow -servant that sho had been up
in the church tower, aid had made
several efforts to throw herself over,
but could not do it. Her employer
had her examined by a doctor, who
suggested that she should be kept un-
der observation, and, pending the ar-
rival of her mother, a woman was
called in for tide purpose.
Later on the girl asked for permis-
eion to go to mass, but Mr. Hutton,
her employer, refused to allow her
out. Later it was discovered that she
had escaped, and had succeeded in
making her way to the top of the
church tower, which is about 120 feet
high. Here, in view of a crowd of
horrified spectators, she sat on the
edge of the parapet. Efforts were
made to reach her from the inside,
but it was found that she had locked
the door, She also threatened that
she would jump if anyone came near
her.
At last Father Seevers, the parish
priest, and a police -sergeant forced
the door, ascended the tower, and
succeeded in getting quite close to the
poor girl, but she still refused to come
down,
For three hours the priest knelt
within a few yards of the unfortunate
girl on the top of the tower. He dare
not approach closer, as each time he
moved she advanced as if to throw
herself over. He prayed and implored
her to leave her terrible position, but
she refused. He held up a crucifix,
asking her to take it, but she would
not, saying' that she would meet him
on the ground. When he offered to
go towards her she would step for-
ward as if to go over.
The situation was a terrible one.
Suddenly she gave a loud shriek, leap-
ed over the parapet, and fell on the
gravelled walk of the churchyard.
When picked up she was quite dead.
ENGLISH SCHOOLBOYS.
Physician at Rugby Finds Numerous
Deformities,
Some remarkable facts as to the
physical condition of the better class
English youth are tabulated in a pa-
per contributed to The Lancet by Dr.
Clement Dukes.
Dr. Dukes, who is the physician to
Rugby School, gives the results of the
physical examination of 1,000 boys,
between the "age of thirteen and fif-
teen, which was carried out on their
admission to a public school.
These British boys, he says, may be
regarded as a special class; strong
arid healthy, well bred, well fed, and
reared mainly in the country.
The examination showed that 522
of the boys were above the normal
height and 365 below it, while 113
were up to the average . Again, 472
were above the normal weight, 471
below, and 57 of the average weight.
Further, 455 were above the normal
chest measurement, 423 below, and 132
up to the average,
Of the 1,000 boys examined, 445
showed lateral curvature of the spine,
526 were knock-kneed, 329 were flat-
footed, 126 pigeon•breasted, 64 had
bow-legs, 70 stammered, 12 were color
blind, 128 suffered front myopia, 19
from aural deafness, 9 from nervous
twitching and 3 from lisping.
Dr. Duke goes on to remark that it
is somewhat depressing to register in
the twentieth century the large num-
ber of acquired preventible deformi-
ties (not momentous, it is true, but
still indicative of inferior systems of
nurture and education) which are
presented by the most favored class of
boys in Great Britain -deformities oc-
curring between the time of nursery
life and the completion of education
in 'the preparatory school at the age
of thirteen. s.
Keir Hardie's London Home.
Mr. Keir Hardie's London home is
a picturesque old house in Nevill's
Court, a quaint little alley connecting
Fetter Lane with the great printers'
colony of New Street Square. The
simple stone -paved pathway that leads
from one end of the court to the other
is only a few feet wide. Mr. Keir
Hardie's modest mansion, which is
fully 400 years old, is built of mas-
sive timber through and through,
with irregularly projecting casements,
winding wooden stairway, and outer
walls of plaster stained and tanned
with the weather and smoke of cen-
turies.
There is a pleasant little story -
and a true one -of Mr. Keir Hardie's
discovery of this London home of his.
Wishing to be nearer his work in
Fleet street, the Labor leader gave up
an almost equally ancient house m
Chelsea, where he had lived ever since
he came to town, and wandered about
seeking a lodging after his own heart.
Chance directed his footsteps to Nev-
ill's Court, and tapping at the door of
the very house now tenanted by him,
he applied for the vacant rooms. The
worthy landlady, however, after look-
ing him up and down, refused to let
him have them without references.
The good woman's astonishment can
bo imagined when the tweed -clad
stranger reeled oft the names of a
dozen members of Parliament as in-
timate sponsors for his respectability..

OUR ANNUAL FALL PARODY.

And father seeks by telephone
The price of anthracite.

North, south -come pouring in
fhe annual tales -of Fall the test-
Whioh ever thus .begin:

And Mrs. Hiram Hay
Fired up a stove which she'd embossed
With polish yesterday.
And Hiram Hay fell read, 'tie learned,
And left his wife a wid,
Four hundred dollars had been burned,
Which in the stove he'd hid"
Ah. yes it's never truly Fall
Until there Domes in droves
The anneal news reports of all
The money burned in stoves.

The British Gt oion,
"The crown is already of great
weight --30 oz. and 5 dwte.--uo light
burden for the King on the occasion
when His Majesty performs the cere-
mony of opening Parliament. To add
to it the Cullitian diamond would in-
crease this weight by about three quar-
ters of a pound avoirdupois, which, it
is estimated, is what the jewel would
weigh after it was nut. The crown
as it is seen to -day in the Tower of
London, contains 2,1318 diamonds, 297
pearls, and many other exquisite
jewels. its chief gem is the ruby, the
value of which has been estimated
at £100,Q00, which was given to the
Black Prince in Spain in the year
1h67, and was worn by Henry V. in
his helmet at the battle of Agincourt.."
London's Reservoirs.
London has recently opened two
new reservoirs, the Bessborough and
the Knight, the construction of which
was begun in 1901. The Knight, or
western reservoir, has a capacity of
480,000,000 gallons and a water area of
fifty-one and a half acres, and the
Bessborough, or eastern reservoir, has
a capacity of 718,000,000 gallons and a
water area of seventy-four acres. With
the completion of these reservoirs Lon-
don possesses sixty subsiding and
storage reservoirs for unfiltered water,
having a total area of 1,435 acres, with'
a capacity of 8,834,000,000 gallons.
This storage would be sufficient to
provide a supply equivalent to about
forty days of average consumption for
a. population of 6,750,000 without
drawing on the Thames or any other
source of supply.
