HBmoH Tim ram an CURIOUS INDUSTRIES. ] Very Stmnc« Means by Which gaaia People LiTe. rEiehange.l There are a few humble and peculiar industries connected with the cotton operatives of Lancashire. Perhaps the ! most peculiar is the little-known call­ ing of the "knocker-up," whose busi- | ness it is to wake up the factory people ' in time for their work. This industry j requires no capital, and imposes no re­ striction as to sex. All the stock-in-trade required is,a long stick, in joints--something like a fishing rod--with a number of wires tied to the end. This stick is raised so that the wires oan be rattled against the bedroom window, and a more harm­ less, yet effective, plan could scarcely be invented, for one or two shakes of the stick will cause the wires to rattle against the glass loudly enough to awake the soundest sleeper. A friend of ouri can bear testimony to this fact. When he first visited Manchester, some years ago, a aertain wag gave a knocker-up a few pence to operate on our friend's bedroom window at an early hour one morning. When he first woke he thought that there was a tremendous hailstorm, but this idea was soon dispelled. He sprang out of bed, rushed to the window and threw it open. He had never heard of a knocker-up, let alone seen one, and his astonishment was great on seeing a man in the street below taking off several joints of apparently » fishing rod. • "Hallo," he shouted. "Just half-past 5," the man replied. "What's up ?" our friend cried. The knocker-up must have been rather deaf, for he again replied: "Just half-past 5!" and made off. Thinking that he was playing some joke on him, our friend made a con­ vulsive dash for a hairbrush or any­ thing portable to throw at the innocent knocker-up; but by the time he had secured something the man had van­ ished round a corner near at hand. At the breakfast table the joke was ex­ plained. For "knocking-up" 2d. or 3d. a week is charged. Scores of "knookers-up" some of them too old for anything else--may be seen between the hours of 5 and ti on any morning of the week except Sunday in any Lancashire manufacturing town. At Whitsuntide, which in Lancashire is the greatest holiday of the year, some of them are busy nearly all night at certain periods of the week. As some of them have over a hundred houses on their lists, it may be readily understood that to get round in time a good deal of sharp walking is to be got through. That this occupation is sometimes very profitable was shown by a case heard at the last Manchester Assizes. The plaintiffs in this case--two "knock- ers-up," or "wakers-up," as the judge preferred to call them,living in Hulrne, Manchester--had had a large number of clients for many years, and had been able to save money at the rate of £100 a year ever since 1879. This, it must be admitted, was a decidedly good connection. Until within the last few years little or no convenience was provided in the cotton factories for making tea, coffee, and the like, and even now thousands are obliged to send outside for what they require for this purpose. Conse­ quently persons living near mills-- who are locally known as "tea women" --provide hot water every morning, and the jugs of the operatives are brought from the mill to the houses. These persons also undertake to pro­ vide a little milk for eaoh jug. For this hot water and milk three pence per week is charged, and in some districts these tea women earn a good sum weekly. Another industry--generally reserved for those who are too old to work-- consists in "minding" the babies of the female operatives. For this service about half a crown a week is charged; and as some of^ these women look after several children, it may be readily understood that the poor little things do not reoeive too much attention. The system, indeed, has many disad­ vantages. One of the greatest is that when the mother gets up in the early morning she is obliged to take her child out into the cold air and carry it to the house of the person who under­ takes to "mind" it. Lancashire coroners have frequently strongly condemned this, and pointed out that it is one of the mo3t prolific causes of infantile mortality. Another humble industry in connec­ tion with the toilers of Lancashire is worthy of mention. Every town and village in Lancashire has its botanical club, and in almost every street of some towns may be seen the small shops of manufacturers of herb beer. Some of these people make great quantities, and, notwithstanding that it is sold very cheaply, manage to make good incomes. Snake Against Spider. "Stand back, boys, and give him a chance," said a tall, bronze-hued ranchero in Pasadena, Cal., waving his sombrero to keep back a few friends who were crowding about a small in­ cisure. "Make your bets, gentlemen," he continued, in imitation of the votaries of tlie ring. The cause of all this, says a correspondent of the New York Post, was a snake about a foot long, beautifully marked with Btripes of black and white, gliding slowly around an inclosura about five feet in diameter, while in the center stood or crouched a gigantic spider--a hairy, many-legged monster, with mandibles like sabers; so large and formidable, in fact, that few would care to face it without a weapon of some kind. If placed in the center of a saucer its legs would hang over the side. Alto­ gether it was as ugly a creature as the imagination oouhl well picture. The attempt was being made to settle a dis­ pute as to whether the gigantic spider could whip a snake, aud the spectators were not long in finding out The man in the sombrero backed his snakeship,and a short, thick-set gentle­ man, with enormous spurs of Mexican make, performed a like office for the spider and helped things along by en­ couraging the combatants with various punches with sticks. The snake was evidently aware of the nature of the mass of hair, and showed its fear in every movement, keeping as near as possible to the side of the inclosura Finally the spider was pushed upon the reptile and the latter made a vicious strike at it A second later a bunch of hair and a confused mass of stripes were all there was to be seen, the two rolling over and over in what was ap­ parently a death struggle. A moment of this and the coiling of the snake suddenly ceased; its head was raised several inches in the air, and, with mouth partly open, it seemed either oompletely terrified or injured. The latter was the case, as now it was seen that the terrible spider had buried its fangs in the reptile and was clinging to it with the tenacity of a bulldog. In the popular parlance of the prize ring, the snake had thrown up the sponge, and, completely paralyzed, was quiver­ ing like an aspen leaf, and in a few seconds dropped limp and lifeless upon the ground. Even then the monster that had accomplished this result would not release its hold, and the two, the conqueror and victim, were dropped into a bottle of alcohol, the spider dying game and maintaining its grip. Among the Cubans. The island has more fine harbors than any other country of its size, and it is no wonder that the buccaneers of the Spanish main selected it as the center of their piratical enterprises. It has 260 rivers and plenty of fresh water springs, Jt never snows in Cuba, though the ice sometimes forms upon the mountains. The babies can go naked here the year around, and as for the stocking trade of Havana its cus­ tomers are confined to the higher classes. Neither stockings nor sus­ penders are used by the laborers, and I doubt whether there are 1,000 pairs of suspenders worn by the 1,500,000 peo­ ple who make up that island's popula­ tion. They use instead a belt-strap, and the majority of the workingmen of the island confine their apparel to an un­ derskirt and trousers. The better class of men dress in white duck, with Panama hats. 1 The lower class of women wear few underclothes, and a calico ^rapper and a pair of heelless slippers'are a wardrobe. There are no carpets on the floors or plaster on ceilings. Iron bars take the place of glass windows, and there is not a chimney nor a cook­ ing stove in Havana. There are no' barns, and the horses are washed in the harbors instead of being carried. There are no bricks used in the sidewalks, and the average sidewalk is three feet wide and of stone. The building stone used is a porous one, and this is oovered with stucco. Havana has parks, bnt there is no grass in them, and as for shade, it can be got only by going to the moun­ tains. The policemen carry swords and guns, and the offices of all kin,Is are filled by Spaniards. There are no mattresses on the Cuban beds, aud as for leather pillows, there are not enough feathers used here to make a wad for the ear­ ache. There are few china pitchers used in Havana, and the drinking-mug is of porous clay, with a hole at the top, out of which the water is poured into the mouth in a trickling stream. Bed brick tiles take the place of shingles, and the tops of the houses are used in the evenings for sitting-rooms. The gardens of Havana are inside'the houses, instead of behind them. The Cuban takes oranges, bread and butter and coffee for breakfast. He pares his oranges as we do apples, and you find plates of pared oranges before you on the table when you sit down to the mornicg meal. The way to eat these oranges is to drive a fork into them, plant your ieeth firmly into tlie luscious fruit and suck the juice. The Cuban breakfast is taken on rising, and there is another breakfast about 9 or 10 o'clook. This is more like the Ameri­ can meal, and the whole city knocks off for it. Passing along the street at this time you may see families at their meals through the open windows and doors, and an hour or two later the ^hole town seems to be taking a siesta. Thin­ ner is eaten between 5 and G o'clock, and the stores keep open until about 9 o'clook in the evening. -- Home Journal. Insulting. Many years ago there lived in Nash­ ville, Tenn., an old negro, who gave himself the nickname of State's Attor­ ney. At one time he paid diligent at­ tentions to a mulatto woman named Nicey. Suddenly he withdrew his at­ tentions, and, when some one asked the cause, he replied: "Yere is de whole subjick and 'elu­ sions spread right out. T'uther night I wuz comin' frum church wid Nicey. It was rainin' hard, but I had mv rum- berrelier an' my merlantun. W'ile we wuz walkin' long, Nicey she says: "Look yore, States, w'y'nt yer talk proper?" "I let down my rumbarreller an' blowed out my merlantun, an' says: 'Now, daim yer, you walk proper!' an' I lef' her right dar. Hub, come er jog- gin' my mine erbout talkin' proper! I ain't been back dar sense, an' I doan know w'under she got home all right er not, an' 1 doan kere er daim. Talk proper! Dat lady is ez insultin' ez er white 'oman. "--Arkanxaw Traveler. Their Penurious («races. The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh are so penurious that at times it makes them really ridiculous. A gentleman living in Sidmouth, on the Devonshire coast, says that during a storm the yacht with these two members of royalty on board was in great danger, and that he had gone out with a brave crew and rescued them from a watery grave. The only acknowledgment made to the seamen was a mere "thank you." As the crew was composed of poor men this expression of appreciation was scarcely acceptable, especially as the Duchess of Edinburgh is one of the richest women in the world. It is un­ derstood that the Duke refuses to lend his good-natured elder brother of Wales money, and that that jolly spendthrift is obliged to fall back upon the amia­ bility of Mr. Tailor and Mr. Bootmaker for favors of this description. The City of Melbourne. The population of Melbourne is 800,- 000, who are as well off as any equal number of people in the whole world. But the city has grown hastily and car­ ries the signs of it on its surface. The streets are broad. _ There are splendid single buildings--town hall, university, parliament houses, public houses, pub­ lic offices, besides banks, exchanges, and, again, churches, etc. There are superb shops, too, gorgeous as any in London or Paris. But side by side with them you see houses little better than tlieds. People have built as they could aud as their means allowed them, and they have been too busy to study appearances. But they have boundless wealth and as boundless ambition and self-confidence. IF by a dishonest act a man makes some hundreds or some thousands of dollars and tarnishes his good name, he discounts heavily his future gains, and will generally end in being a poor man. ECONOMY is the parent of integrity, of liberty, and of ease, and the beati- teous sister of temperance, of cheerful­ ness, and health.--Dr. Johnson.

The Christiana Are Waiting for a Chance to Throw OflT the Moslem Yoke, Our return journey to Candia was across a wild and bleak spur of Mount Jukta, says a writer in the Cornhill Magazine. For some time we picked our way through an upland valley in which there*was not a particle of shade from the sun. The side of the moun­ tain stood up scarlet and precipitous to our left and our tired mules had to traverse broad surfaces of bare rock spurred from the crag itself. But Cretan scenery is full of surprises, and soon, by an awkward and abrupt de­ scent apparently in the heart of the wilderness, we came to as sweet an oasis of water and vegetation as a wanderer could wish to see. In the midst of a profusion of fig, almond, plantain, and cypress trees was a white house surrounded by a walled and bat- tlemented inclosure, and by its side purled a brook of clear, oool water. The house was that of a young Turk, very rich, but with neither father nor mother. "It has seen war already many times," remarked the Arnaut, pointing to the loop-holes of the towers which rose above its walls. "And it will see more war!" he added. While We sat by the side of a fountain in this little paradise, uuder a natural arbor of yellow pea blossoms, vines, and clematis the man told me a long story about the fortunes of this house in 1866, when the Christians besieged it. This was in the time of the father of the present occupier. Since then the native Turks have lost weight in the land in an extraordinary manner. Two-, thirds of the population in Crete is now reckoned to be Christi in, and many of the others, from fear or poliey, are professing Christians to the Chris­ tians and Mosloms to the Mohammed­ ans. "You have had your day!" says the Christians to the Turks, and the latter acknowledged the truth of their words, and their implication, by a dry hitch of the slioittders and an out- spreadiug of the palms of their hands. There is no denying it. And nowadays, when ihe Christians go with their guns into the olivet woods and- shoot small birds for hours at a time it is not the, mere pleasure of such paltry sport that satisfies them. Bcasoning from analogy shows them that if they can l^it a spar­ row at twenty paces it is provable that a Turk at fifty paces will be in jeopardy of his life when the time cornea And that the time will come ere long, no patriot who inscribes "Cretois" on his visiting card, and cau afford an occasional trip to Athens, "for political purposes," doubts for one moment If England or some other great power would but help them, they say. Since, however, they are gradually grasping the maxim that self- help is the herald to true aud laudable success one may hope after all the Cretans will postpone their next insur­ rection indefinitely--or, at least, until a long course of unbroken industry has enabled them to put by a good store of drams. Turkish rule in Crete is not now a tyranny, but the Cretans look back and ask of the past: "Was not that a tyranny?"- And only too many of them have the most natural reasons for being unforgiving. "He will see some trouble, that young man!" said the Arnaut. alluding once more to the Turk in his farm citadel, and the Arnaut no doubt spoke the truth. The Dangers ef Fuot-BalL ••--The game is as safe as any outdoor game can well be, provided it is played with the careful preparation and train­ ing which are the rule in the larger colleges; it is a dangerous and unfit game when men undertake to play it without such preparation and training. In the season of last year, two fatal accidents were reported; both occurred in oolleges which were attempting to f>lay the game as it is played by the eading teams, without any of the preparation which they find an essential. The writer, who has been in the habit of attending the regular games of the college, with which he is connected, has felt uuder obligations to be equally consistent in attending the daily prac­ tice games of the men, in order to watch the preliminary training; and he must confess to a great respect for the good sense and good management of the under-graduates who have the mat­ ter in charge. 'The University team* is selected provisionally; it is pitted daily against a second, or 'scrub,' tean^ of somewhat larger numbers; both teams are kept under careful training and supervision; the playing is made short and as gentle as possible at first, until the men begin to become 'hard;' the playing is then gradually lengthened and made more severe, as the men be­ come able to endure it; and, by the thne the season comes to its last game, the players are able to endure with im­ punity treatment which would be dan­ gerous to men who are 'soft,' or out of condition. After the first few weeks are over, and serious playing has be­ gun, men who have not yet played aro not encouraged, or, in extreme cases, even allowed, to play on the 'scrub' team; the managers think it inadvisa­ ble to run any risks. The players are not only brought to a point of physical condition which makes it a pleasure to watch them; they are taught how to fall, when a fall is inevitable, in such a way as to retain control of the ball without hazarding a broken bone or a dislocation. When the closing games come on, the player Qan take what seems to the spectator a frightful fall, not only without a bruise, but so skillfully that it is regularly necessary for his opponent to 'hold him down' lest he rebound and take to his heels again. The preliminary practice games can hardly be more severe elsewhere than at Princeton; and yet the writer has never seen a serious accident occur there. An acoident may occur, of course, and will give no warning of its coming, but its coming has been put as far as possiblo out of the range of prob­ ability. But if meu in other colleges wished to play foot-ball, as should be the case, they must not ignore the sys­ tematic course of preparation, take the final playing of a well-trained team as a model, and attempt to imitate it. It is from such folly that the recurring acci­ dents in foot-ball come. With good physical condition in the players, the requisite training, and suitable grounds^ the game is not only one of the best of outdoor sports, but one of the safest." --The Century.

Its many disagreeable symptoma and the danger of developing into bronchitis or that terribly fatal disease, consumption, are entirely re­ moved by Hood's Baraaparilla, which cures catarrh by purifying the blood. "For several years I have been troubled with that terribly disagrcoable disease, catarrh. I took Hood'a Barsaparilla with the very best results. It cured me of that continued dropping in my throat and stuffod up feeling. It has helped my mother, vho has taken it for run down state of health and kidney trouble. I recommend Hood's Sarsaparilla to all aa a good medicine." Mai. S. D. HJCATH, Putnam, Conn. Catarrh may affect any portion of the body where the mucous membrane is found. But catarrh of the head ia by tar the moat common.and. strange t« nay, the most liable to be neglected, ilk* wonderful suo- cess Hood's Sarssjhrilla has had in curing catarrh warrants us in urging all who suffer with this disease to try the peculiar medicine. It renovates and invig­ orates the blood, and tones every organ. *1 havo been troubled with catarrh a year, causing great soreness of the bronchial tubes and terrible headache. I read that Hood's Sarsaparilla would cure catarrh, and after taking only one lx>ttle I am much better. My catarrh is cured, my throat is en­ tirely well, and my headache has all dlaappalMl.* B.
