From Collier‘s Weekly It seems that with Senator'Hoke Smith and Clark Howell, editor of the Atlanta Constitution, among the note- bles comprising the National Child Labor Committee, Georgia would pro- vide reascnable safeguards for the chil- dren of the poorâ€"but Georgia does not. Apparently Georgians are more concerned with seeing their factories make money than with giving boys zens of themselves. During its recent session the State’s law-making body turned down two exceedingly mild child-welfare measures. One bill provided that children should be at school at least four years, from the age of eight to twelve. The other forbade the employment of small children in factories, setting the age limit at twelve after 1913, at thirteen after 1914, and at fourteen after 1915. Both bills contained exceptions which afforded ample opportunities for eva-‘ siou, as is usually the case when such laws are framed in southern States. The Georgia Cotton Manufacturers’ Association did not openly oppose the bills, but still there were not votes enough to put them on the statute books. A Senator named Spinks, the President of a small cotton mill, deâ€" clared that he was not a member of the Georgia, Cotton Manufacturers’ Association, that the manufacturers did not really want any legislation, and that it was necessary for ten-year old. children to work in- cotton mills to support ‘widowed mothers and invalid fathers. The attitude of Senator Spinks seems to tbe‘that' of‘a‘llarge eleL ment of Georgia’s voting population, else the people ivould elect a Legisla- ture that would pass laws to keep lit: tle boys and girls out of cotton mills and in’ school until they have reached the average stage of physical and menr tal development. Local Option Notes. Reufrew Mercury: It is only six months since Local Option was repealed in the village of Actonâ€"~repcaled through a large influx of old country people to the tanneries and glove works of that village, and there have been more convictions of “blind pigs ” in those six months than in the preceding three or four years under local option. Within the past month fines of over $1,300 have been imposed on blind piggers. In the town of Orillia some opponents of Local Option presented to the council a petition praying for a. submission of a repeal by-law. If was proposed that if repeal should succeed, applications would be made only for wine and beer licenses and it was argued that such a licensing plan would be in the interest of “true temperance." After a strenuous effort, however. the repealers succeeded in securing only thirty-two signatures to the petition and some of those who signed were aliens and not entitled. to vote. The movement was so manifestly insignificant and unpopular that the council pronerl y refused to take any action concerning it. Vicarsâ€"McDougall. Early on Wednesday morning, at St. James' Church, the marriage quietly took place of Mr. G. 3).. Vicars and Kathleen. youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Hugh McDougall of Eenelon Falls. The Rev. W. H. A. French, Rector of the parish, performed the ceremony. The bride was becomineg gowned in a travelling costume of navy blue whip- cqrd, with satin blouse, and blue hat With purple satin facing and persian hand. She wore the bridegroom's gift, a. dainty wrist watch in gold. Marabou muff and stole were also worn, and a corsage bouquet of orchids and lily of the valley completed the costume. She was attended by her sister, Mrs. G. G. Beall, of Lindsay, as matron of honor, in a dress of tomato satin with hat of black velvet and marabou stole. She carried crysantbemums. Her gift from the groom was a necklace of pearls. Dr. Gillillau of Uxbridge acted as grooms- man. Immediately after the ceremony Mr. and Mrs. Vicars left on a short trip to Detroit. On their return they will reside in Fenelon Falls. On Monday evening, at the home of' a “shower ” was Mrs. H. J- Townley, . given for Miss McDougall by the Pprxsh Workers of St. James's Church, wrth a few girl friends of the bride'elect. A most enjoyable evening was spent. She was presented also with a do‘z‘on sterling silver 'coEeespoo'ns by the church choir, of which she has been a ‘member for some time. ' ‘ 0-0 A Successful, Hunt. The Otter Lake Hunting Club have re- turned from their annual outing and re- port a,very successful hunt under the direction of Captain H. Jackson of Lind- say. The party was composed of Capt.

Wll- kinson and Angus Campbell of Verulam ; Geo. Armstrong and A. Tiers of Fenelou Falls. They succeeded in getting their thirteen deer the first'week, and out of ' that number they have eight bucks that weigh between fifteen and sixteen hun- dred pounds. The party would like very much to hear from any party that can beat this record. 0".â€" Farmers’ and Woman's ‘lnsiliuie Meetings 'Nov. 27.

By removing all the floWerâ€"buds except the terminal they, have produced the large globular heads with which we are all familiar. A' French amateur succeeded in winning a prize for the' largest chrysanthe- mum, with .a flower that measured more than 64 inches in circumference. That is many times the size of the! original fiowerh-ead. What will hap- ‘ pen when the same methods are ap- plied to tomatoes, cherries and other fruits and vegetables ?â€".Hortlculture. Reading to Workmen' In a. Toronto cigar factory where nearly all of the thirty-five cigar makers are Cubans, a curious custom ‘ is observedâ€"that of having a man ' read aloud all day long to the workers. ' He reads the daily newspapers in the - mornings and usually a novel in the ' afternoon. The firm pays his salary and is glad to do it for it makes the -. men contented and does [not interfere ! with their work which goes on quite as well when their thoughts are miles'f aw‘ay, from'it. In Cuba. nearly all the cigar factories employ readers. . , .. 1. ... . __,~ The “Prison of Sllence" Republican Portugal still tolerates a prison whose carefully-planned, dia- bolical torture is enough to make prison reformers turn in their graves. In this prison, called the “Prison of Silence,”- in a grim castle on the out- skirts of Lisbon, nearly everything that human ingenuity can .uggest to terrify the prisoners is done. The v corridors, piled tier 011 tier flve storeys high, extend from a common centre like the spokes of a huge wheel. The cells are narrow and tomb. like, and within each stands a coffin. 'I‘he attendants creep about in felt slippers. No one is allowed to utter a word. The silence is that of the grave. Once a day the cell doors are unlocked, and the half a thousand wretches march out clothed in shrouds and with faces covered by masks, for it is part of this hideous punishment that none may look upon the countenance of his fellow-prison- era. for more than ten years. Ordeal to Regain Caste It is astonishing the belief natives of southern India' have in their "caste," mu! what. they will do in re- gain it if lost. A certain day in the ' year is set aside for the ceremony of regaining “caste.” An enclosure about twenty feet square is fenced logs of wood are burned, the ashes of which are kept redhot by continual fanning. Those going through the ceremony have to wash themselves in the river about a mile away; then, with strings of flowers hanging round their necks, they run to the enclosure. By the time they reach it the redhot ashes have been raked all over the floor and the idol of whatever caste they belong to has been placed on a plat- form at one end. In rush the “caste- less" barefooted, without the slight- est hesitation, and dance round and round on the redhot ashes until they . drop from exhaustion and are drug ged out by their friends. Before go- ing through this painful ceremony of regaining “caste” a. man is first sup- posed to fast for at least three 'days. The Miner's lnoh On the Pacific coast, the unit for‘ measuring water in mining is known as the miner's inch. This varies, greatly in different localities, and is now generally defined by legislative enactment. In British Columbia, under the Water Clauses Consolidation Act, a. miner's inch is declared to be a flow of water equal to 1.68 cubic feet per Therefore, a miner's inch is equal to .028 cubic feet per second, and 1 cubic foot per second is equal to 85.71 miner's inches, approximately.
