most ignorant, superstitious and
cape, lie led us across the plateau,
where the village cows wore pastured,
to the edge of the limestone meei-
piee beyond. Terraced out-croppings
of the same pink-tinted stone broke
the surface of the plateau into ridges
and hollows. Advancing to the face
of one of these'great walls of stone,
not more than thirty yards from the
edge of the cliff, the revivalist
struck it with a birch stick which
place where I had fallen over the
cliff, and though they could not 6ee
the ledge where I stood, they heard
my cries for help, and dropped a
rope into the branches of the pine
tree. I climbed up it, and making
it fast about my waist, was drawn up.
As soon as I felt able to speak I
asked the villagers if they had ever
heard of the hermit in the cave.
They did not even know there was a
cave. How came he there, this mys-
terious recluse? By some undiscov-
ered passage from above, bearing
and building his organ, board bv
board, pipe by pipe? And why? To
make even the rocks and cav erns of

other and. of all mysteries, none is

Iter. Stopford Brooke is doing his
best to raise support for tho Women's
J rade l.nion League, an organization
which is intended to raise the status
of the poorest class of Kn"li«h
women workers. Speaking on the
subject the other day. Mr. Brooke
said thousands of these poor women
were living on the very verge of
starvation, tlieir hours of labor pro-
tracted to the very last strain of the
rope without a moment's peace of
mind, without a moment's leisure for
self-education or for enjoyment, and
when, with throbbing eyes and shak-
ing hands and palsied brain they
staggered into bed. it is only to sleep
in unhealthy rooms a sleep that does
not rest them, and to rise day after
day for years and years to the same
otitid of hopeless toil.
The women to whom he alluded
earned from 5s. to 7s. a week, while
those a grade above them earned 12s
for more skilled work, each class
laboring ten hours a day.
"Of what use is. my life" Why
should I go on living?" one of these
workers, a girl of IH, said to him a
few days ago. "I can never rest, I
can never look upon a green field, 1
can never see the sun. I go to work
at 7, sometimes at, ti o'clock, hoping
to get away earlier, but frequently
I am not able to do so, for orders
come In late and have to be attended
to the same night. To-day I was at
work at 7, and i did not leave my J11 ace
till It ll I did not stay my master
would disniis ™ne, or he would not
help ine in the winter when work is
slack; and if I lose my work I starve."
Asked about tlie official inspection
of work rooms, she replied that it
was generally known when the in-
spector was coming, and anyhow they
dare not betray tho truth to him.
"Nobody cares for us: we don't
even care for ourselves. All we want
is a mattress to lie on, a crust to eat
and a dress to put on. I'm 18. arid
I'm sick of it already."

from Kuft'alo, says
Bazar, had quit#* an experience in a
large Herlin hotel. She was ••doing"

children, without being able tospoak
a word ol any language except her
nativ • tongue. One night, having
retirn.l .-afly with her little nne^
she was suddenly awakened by a
peculiar noise, which she soon be-
came convinced was caused by some
one trying to open the door betw..
her room and th ' one adjoining. She
got up quickly, turned on tho electric
light, and rang the bell. The sound
ceased suddenly, and after a slight
delay a man appeared to answer the
bell. "Speak Knglish?" (the usual
question). H shpeaks heern a leetlo,"
was the reply. • There is some one

Chicago. Aug. 3.—The delegates to
the National J*imetallic convention
were a little late in assembling this
morning, the evening session of last
night having been prolonged to such a
late hour that a quorum was not pres-
ent at this morning.
When the conventi' n yesterday
found the First Methodist Kpiscopal
yhurch inadequate to its needs and it
was imperative that a larger hall be
secured, the proprietor of the < entral
Music hall was seen but exacted a
rental of $4<>o for the u.se of
the hall for two days There were
a great many protests against this
but the committee was in a quandary
and time pressing and the terms were
reluctantly agreed to. Considerable
trouble was experienced in raising the
money, but this morning several
wealthy delegates from Colorado and
other states went to the rescue and in
a few minutes sufficient money was
raised to give a satisfactory guarantee.
When President Thurman eallea the
convention to order .1. Daugherty
of Texas moved that a committee of
one member from each state be ap-
pointed to devise a plan and provide
ways and means for impress-
ing upon congress and the people
of the L'uited States the peril
that is now threatening and the
worse results that are sure to follow
the establishment and continuance of
gold as the exclusive measure of value
in this country, and that tho commit-
tee report to this convention this plan
for appropriate action. After some
discussion the matter was referred to
the committee on resolutions.
Ex-Senator Hill of Colorado, ad-
dressed the convention for nearly an
hour. His arguments were chiefly
based on statistics tending to show
that the adoption of a gold or single
standard in any country had invaria-
bly been followed by dread of poverty
and depression.
Kx-Senator Doolittle of Wisconsin
presented resolutions, which were re-
ferred to the committee on resolutions,
declaring that congress had power
only to regulate the ratio between gold
and silver and that it would declare
for tho coinage of both gold and sil-
ver on a fairly estimated ratio.
Congressman Newlands of Nevada
followed in a ii address outlining con-
grcssional legislation on the silver
question. Peuator Allen of Nebraska
provoked much enthusiasm in a brief
but stirrtug speech. The present
panic was first created by the bankers
of the country for their own selfish pur-
poses, but it has become further reach-
ing than they expected and the bank-
ers themselves had become involved
and hud appealed to the president and
congress for aid. The time had come
for action, not for talk. The Popu-
lists told the people last fall of the
impending danger, but they did not
believe them. . .Vow the people were
obliged to stand out from their old
parties and stand no for the American
home as against tin- British home. 'I
do not come here." he said in closing,

say that so tar as the Populist purty
represented in the I nited States
senate it will i>ot be found wanting.
We may not understand parliament-
ary ma iciivering as well as some, but
I tell yon we will be in sight of the
fox all the time. |( rcat laughter. J
Our party is pledged now and all time
for the free coinage of silver at the
ratio of ID to 1.

are botli terminated oy thwartship
bulkheads. The space between the
protective deck and the battery deek
lias the usual cellular sulidivisions.
The steel used in licr construction is
entirely of Italian make. All the puns
will be in an armored redoubt, with
the exception of two of the six ( -incli
guns, whlcn will be placed in small
turrets or barbettes, are forward on
the forecastle, and aft on the poop.
The small rapid tiring and machine
ffuns will be mounted on the upper
deck and in the military tops of the
masts.
"Flu Hole*."
A writer in the Metal Worker states
that, curious enough, the cause of
what are known as "piu holes" in
tinned and terue plates has never been
satisfactorily determined, though one
of the many sources of the difficulty
named has been the use of steel in the
place (if wrought iron. The interest-
ing question has been treated from
various points of view, some urging
that foreign matter iu tlie steel inter-
feres with the pickling and prevents
the perfect coating of the plates, so
that in places there is only a thin skin
of tin, and, when this is abraided, cor-
rosion rapidly ensues; others, again
are of the opinion that the pickling-
jcul remains in the particles of car-
bonaceous scale, aud keeps up the
work of corrosion after the plate was
coated. One of the most plausible
suggestions has been that the difficulty
is to be found in the texture of the
steel itself—that it is too fine grained a
meterial in comparison with iron, and
with a surface so hard and smooth as
to 'afford no opportunity for that
superficial alloying which is supposed
by some to constitute the bond between
the black plate and the coating, or, in
other words, the librous nature of iron,
and the somewhat roughened surface]
admits the tin to soak in and makes a
hriu fastening with the base. This
explanation of the pin-hole difficulty
in tin plates is considered bv maay the
most reasonable vet offered!
1'oddled Iron.
Some valuable results iu the produc-
tion of puddled iron have lately been
achieved by an Knglish manufacturer,
and are explained in detail in the Lon-
don papers. It is not often, at the
present time, that any special effort is
put forth for the accomplishment of
original or improved methods in this
Held ol metallurgical industry, as.
owing* to the advance made in every
department of steel, end the extent to
which it has superseded iron, the
methods of puddling the latter have
come to be of lesa important
consideration. It is now proposed, iu
manufacturing malleable and gun iron
by the hand-puddling process, io melt
the pig iron to be used in a cupola.
With a small quantity of scran, and, on
the iron beeoming 1 iq 11 id, it is con veved
to tne ptuuiling turnace ana auowea
to remain thereuntil it has reached
the standard degree of heaL In case
of any scarcity of scrap, manganese
may be added to the liquid iron after
leaving the cupola. It is claimed that
*7 this means the output of the pud-
ing- furnace is much inereaoed.
