While John Burns, Will Crooks, Keir Hardie, Will Theme and other labor leaders in the English Parliament are busy at Westminster, legislating for an immense empire, “upon which the sun never sets," their wives at home are pro- bably scrubbing, cooking, sewing and attending to the many details of house- work that usually fall upon the wives of workingmen. About 50 members of the present Par- liament were elected upon the Labor ticket, and most of them are actual British lawmakers re- ceive no salary and the labor memb‘rs must be supported by the various labor organizations. This means that their incomes are limited. As a rule, they live in very modest homes, in unfashionable neigh- borhoods. Usually the housework and the care of the children devolve upon their devoted wives. It is said that, when Mr. Burns, some months ago, visited the King to receive his commission as a member of the cab- inet, Mrs. Burns was.at home cheerily scrubbing the floors. Mrs. Burns is ,said to be a simple-hearted, unassum- ing little woman, although of attractive sense. During all her husband’s long career in Parliamentâ€"he entered that body in 1892â€"she has been his warm supporter and efficient helpmeet.. Through all these years the Burnscs have occupied a quiet little home in Batterson, a poor suburb at the south- west of London, where the wife cooked the meals, scrubbed the floors and kept her husband’s clothing in repair. After the late political upheaval in England, Mr. Burn's financial condition improved. He was invited into the cabâ€" inet as president of the local govern- ment board, a position carrying A SALARY OF $10,000 A YEAR. As wife of a cabinet minister, Mrs. Burns has now standing at court func- tions, the first woman from the circles of labor to enjoy that privilege. When she was recently presented to_ the King and Queen this modest little woman, who still does her own house- work, was an object of great curiosity to the haughty peeresses who surround the throne. If they expected to filter over a bizarre or awkward spectacle, they were disappointed. They saw a rather pretty woman, becomingly and correctly dressed, whose manner was above criticism. She was probably the only woman in that brilliant throng capable of cooking her husband’s dinner or 'darning his socks, and yet she did not appear at. all uncomfortable or out of place. It was noticed that their majesties were un- usually gracious to her. She was someâ€" what conspicuous in the throng of stately grand dames about her from the fact that she wore no jewels. Some time ago, it is related with gus- to in London, Lady Haversham, a new peeress and a known “lian hunter." who aspires to become prominent as a .Lib- eral hostess, undertook to patronize the woman whose husband had been ele- vated from labor’s ranks to a cabinet position. Sc she wrote as follows from her fine home in fashionable Grosvenor Square: “Dear Mrs. Burns:â€"I should be glad if you would come to my atâ€"home. You would excuse my not calling on you, but I find Battersea is such a long way from Grosvenor Square.” Whereupon the labor leader’s wile promptly sent the following reply: “Dear Lady Havershamzâ€"I have been studying the map, and I find that Gros- venor Square is exactly the same dis- tance from Battersea that Battersea is from Grosvenor Square. Will Thome, who represents the South Westham constituency and is se- cretary of the Gasworkers‘ and General _ Laborers’ Union, is especially HAPPY IN HIS HOMELIFE, although Mrs. Thorne complains that his duties keep him away from his fam- ily too much. “Will goes out at 8.30 o'clock every morning and does not come back until 1 or 2 o'clock the next morning," she remarked recently. “On Sundays he is generally addressing meetings some- where, so that we see little enough of him since he has been elected to Par- liament." The Themes occupy a small house in the East. End of London, and to the care of this and her children Mrs. Thorne devotes herself. There are ten children in all. Some are grown and married, while the baby is still in the cradle. Both the father and mother of Mr. Thorne were brickmakers, and the fa- ther was killed when Will was seven years old. He never went to school a day in his life, but, through persistent effort, he acquired a good education. Mrs. Theme is very proud of her stal- wart husband, who has reached the honor of a seat in Parliament, and is perfectly willing to contribute her own labor unsparingly in order to maintain a comfortable home for him. This home, unpretentious enough, is at Up- ton Park, another rather poor London suburb. in the rear is a garden where Mrs. Thome raises chickens and hangs out the family wash. In an even smaller house at Poplar, also in the East End, live Mr. and Mrs. Will Crooks. The hour between 8.30 and 9.30 o'clock every morning is set aside to receive the constituents of Mr. Crooks and poor people of the neigh- borhood come to him by scores for ad- vice and ’help. He even listens to and advises them while eating his break- fast. Mrs. Crooks, whom he affection- ately calls “mother,” is always at his aide, AIDING IN HIS HELPFUL WORK. A gentle, motherly woman, Mrs. Crooks feels deeply the condition of the poor about her, and is constantly en- deavoring to aid them. She‘ doesn’t forget the fact that her husband spent part of his early life in the workhouse â€"or almshouse. Beside keeping house and attending to all her domestic duties Mrs. Crooks‘ conducts an employment bureau in Poplar, devoting her efforts especially to securing work for the wives and families of men who are out .1 employment. ' She is regarded as the good‘angel cf the community; and the people there would gladly elect her to Parliament, if ' they could, to assist her husband in his -' plans for the betterment of labor con- ditions. . In her plain little parlor Mrs. Crooks has some ornaments of which she '14 ,very proud. There is a silver tea set, presented to‘ her in recognition of the ublic-spirited . efforts of herself and her husband while he was mayor of Peplar some years ago. Upon the walls are two pictures which were painted and presented to her by a man whom the Crooks had aided while he was in financial straits; 6n a table are glasses, china, ornaments, and even a comical little china pigâ€"all given in gratitude for help extended 'at some time of des- perate need. Mrs. J. Ramsey Macdonald, wife of the member for Leicester, finds time from the care of her modest flat in Lin- coln’s Inn and her four children to take part in the labor propaganda in which her husband is engaged. She is a lec- turer and worker for the independent labor party. , Not long since Mr. Macdonald was booked for a lecture at llkeston, but found that his parliamentary duties would not permit keeping the engage- ment. Accordingly, Mrs. Macdonald went to Ilkeston and x .. .. LEC'I‘URED IN HIS STEAD. “It was a description of a walking tour, illustrated by lantern slides," she explained later, “and as Lhad been on the trip with my husband I was able to give the lecture.” It is said she gave it most. satisfactorily. When they find timeâ€"which is not oftenâ€"Mr. and Mrs. Macdonald may be seen taking long walks together. They also have a little cottage in Bucking- hamshire, to which they retire when Parliament is not In session. Mrs. Mac- donald is noted as being one of the best housekeepers in that section. While Kier Hardie, one of the best known of the labor leaders is attending sessions of Parliament, Mrs. Hardie usually remains in Ayrshire, where she says she is perfectly happy looking after their‘ little home. The wife of J. Ward, member of the Sloke-on-Trent, while taking a rest from cooking dinner recently, expreSscd her dissatisfaction with the demands made upon his time. “He has to leave early in the morn- ing for the work of his union,” she ex- plained; “then goes to Parliament, and usually gets home about 2 o‘clock in the morning. At week ends he goes about making speeches.” Mr. Ward laughed: “The wife stands that sort of thing about five weeks on a stretch,” he remarked, “and then she goes on a strike. Tells me I need not expect any home comforts if I don‘t spend one day in 50 at home.” One noticeable characteristic of the wives of the labor members of Parlia- ment is the fact, as a rule, that their husband’s election to such high and responsible national duties makes little apparent difference in the home life. They do not seem to think that such distinguished honors in the family should cause them to cease doing their own cooking, washing or housework, or that they should hire girls to do their scrubbing for them. .___+.____. STRANGE FIGHT \VI’I‘II TIGER. Ilow Native Ileld Beast at Bay Until Help Came. A native employed on the Chutha- malai estate, in India, was returning one recent night from a shooting excur- sion and saw what he thought was a jackal. He shot and wounded the ani- mal, which made off into the jungle. Early the next morning, while proceed- ing for another shoot, the _man sudden- ly came across a wounded tiger lying in a patch of jungle. Presumably it was the beast. and not a jackal, which had been hit the previ- ous night. The tiger immediately made for the man, who had no time to re- load his riflc. Finding no other way out of his difficulty, the man threw down his rifle and resolved to fight it out with the tiger. The tiger opened its jaws to seize the man, when the lat- ter shoved his arm right into the tiger's mduth. With his disengaged arm he leveled blow after blow at the tiger with all his might, and at the same time yell- ed for help. ~Hearing the man’s cries, a Paniyan who was on a neighboring hill, hurried down. and taking in the situation, went and fetched an estate writer, Mr. Lad- win. The latter came with a gun, but could do nothing at. the start for fear of hitting the native. However, the latter managed by a powerful effort to throw down the tiger, whereupon Mr. Ladwin put in a shot. The shot was not fatal, and the tiger made another run at its victim, who was able this time to dodge away. Mr. Ladwin now fired again, and the tiger dropped dead. The wounded man was conveyed to the estate, where the hospital assistant in charge attended to him, and it is sat- isfactory to report that the man is pro- gressing toward recovery, in spite of his wounds and his terrible experience. â€"â€"+â€"uâ€"â€"â€"o GREENLAND'S GLORY. The largest mass of ice in the world is probably the one which fills up near- ly the whole of the interior of Green- land, where it has accumulated since before the dawn of history. It is be- lieved now to form a block about 600,- 000 square miles in area, and averaging a mile and a half in thickness. Accord- ing to these statistics, the lump of ice is larger in volume than the whole body of water in the Mediterranean, and there is enough of it to cover the whole of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland with a layer about seven miles thick. â€"â€"â€"â€"+ Known to Thousands. â€" Parmelee’s Vegetable Pills regulate the action of the secretions, purify the blood and keep the stomach and bowels free from deleterious matter.

While Japan Is formally at peace with Russia. it appears from the RuSsian press that she is doing all she can to embarrass the Czar’s Govermncnt. First it is asserted that Japan is supplying the revolutionists in Russia with arms, and, second, it- is pretty well established that Nagaski is a Nihilist hotbed. The first charge is developed by the Novoc Vre- mya as follows: “It has been suspect- ed for a long time that the Japanese were supplying the Russian revolution- ists with arms and money, but. now the proofs in the case are so complete that there is no room for doubt. The trail of the conspiracy, however, reaches for back, and we will have to begin our story at the outbreak of the war." The Russian paper proceeds to say «that “the Japancse Colonel Akaslii, who was military attache at St. l‘elcrsburg before the war, went to Stockholm when hostilities broke out, and that city became the centre of the Japanese Spy system. \VELL PLANNED. “Now in the Autumn of 1904. when the Russsian freedom movement begun, Akashi connected himself with the Rus- sian Nihilists in Paris, and in Novem- ber, 1904. an agreement was concluded, by the terms of which an armed insur-I r . reclion was to be crealcd in Russia for 4.0400000 more is issued against securi- tha benefit of Japan."

Lord Goschcn’s opinion, expressed at a dinner of ‘the National Discount Com- pany, that England’s gold reserve is insufficient, was generally endorsed in London's financial circles. “It has been admitted for some time past,” said an eminent banker, to the London Daily Mirror, "and no one is more alive to the fact than the Bank of England itself, that there ought to be more gold in reserve than there is at present in the vaults. “The Bank of England is the bank- ers' bank, and all the joint stock hanks keep accounts with it.

POLI'I‘E JAPANESE CHILDREN. _â€" They are Trained to Civility From Children. ‘ Japan is the country in which the word “boor,” or an equivalent, is not needed. In that land habits of polite- ness begin to be formed with the first training of the child. Mr. Albert Tracy, in his “Rambles Through Japan,,” whites of what he observed in the most obscure parts of the country. Among the many things which he found to praise none is, more pleasing than the fine courtesy of the children.- I saw some children emerging from school, and stopped on the opposite side of the street to look at them. They came out with none of the rude bois- terousncss which characterizes pupils at home. but walked sedately and quietly, with books and slates under their arms. The first to come out were not a little startled, evidently at seeing a bearded foreigner looking at them. They stop- ped a moment, and then, with a cour- tesy which I wish I could imagine pos, sible in an English town or an Ameri- can village, made an exceedingly re spectful bow, and passed on. Of course V I returned the salutation. The next ones repeated their civility, and then as fast as the pupils came to the front they stopped and made pro- found rcverences all along the line. it was a very pretty picture, and quite well illustrated the polite bearing of the Japanese. who are thus trained to civility from childhood. Before a baby can speak, almost be- fore it can totter alone, it is taught to lift the hand to the forehead on re- ceiving a gift; and I never saw a child, fail to make this signal of respect and gratitude without being reproved or re- minded of the omission by some by- stander. At another place I came suddenly upon two pretty children,~who, ap- proaching from the opposite direction, were completely taken by surprise. and had no opportunity to escape. Their faces showed that they were very much. frightglpd. closely to his rother. Just as I was about to speak they made the most profound of rcverences, withal so prettily that I gave them each a penny, demonstrating, I hope, in their minds that even a white-faced barbar- _ ian is not dangerous if one is polite. ._...__+â€"_.â€"..

As \‘ladivoslock and other large places were pacified the number of Russian revolutionists in Nagasaki constantly increased. and now the col- ony is so large that we find a Russian newspaper in the town, printed by Rus- sians and in Russian type. This paper it called Voli (or ‘Freedom‘), and at first it appeared every other day, but now it is a daily. The character of the paper is well indicated by the following quo- tation: ‘We call upon whoever has the material means, to help our work; we exhort all who have a word to say for the cause, to say it. And we call for help from all Russians who are not con- tent with thc Russian Government. who can not tolerate the horrible condition of things in Russia to-day. Our aim is to destroy autocracy by means of 'I revolution, to give Russia a democratic republic, and later to bring about a $0- cialistic state of society.

And what is equally clear is that they have plenty of money â€" otherwise they could not publish a paper. Naturally the settlement is a thorn in the side of official Russia, but the Japanese take nothing from the Rus- sians to-day, and an official would get rough words who tried to induce the Japanese to take steps against the Nag- asaki colony.“ â€"+“- ONLY DAY.
