The Workman Getti Value of His a Laver rs The London News has the following: “Two years ago 's. Briggs, of the Whit- wood and Metbiey collieries, worn out with a long series of disputes with their workmen, and reduced to a point when the guestion 1sy only between closing their pits altogether or introducing some ly mew system, made the pi arrangement for co- ‘They offered to the men that after provid Tate, after paying all other expenses, and after securing a rate of ten per cent. interest on the capital sunk, the surplus profits should be anruaily ascertained and divided equally between masters and men. It was also pro- posed that such of the men as thought fit might put their own small savings foto the concern and become shareholders. ‘The proposal was discussed and acceptcd, and it has now been acted on for two years. “The second general meeting of the new firm—Messrs. ry Son and Com- pany, (limited)—was held op Monday last, and the jor-Sheet for the year was submitted. It was highly satisfactory. After paying the ten per cent. on capital, there was a surplus of seven per cert. to be divid'd between capital and labor. Every workman shared in this bonus in proportion to the amount of wages he had received during the year. There was about twelve hundred bands employed, and there was more than £5,000 to be thus distributed: therefore, there would have been an average of £2 10 per head, supposing all had equal quali- fications and all had worked reguiarty. As it is. We may Presume that the superior skilled workman recetved considerably larger sums, and that lads or new bands may have made only a few shillings. But in every cise it was pure |. ‘Those who were shareholders reaped’ thirteen And a-half per cent. interest ‘Those who were not already share. holders were offered a new opportimity of taking sbares, and so participating stl more largely m future profits. Every one bas nata- rally sausfied, and strikes have disap- “This is an eminently enconraging result The experiment was ted under the gravest difficulties. Not merely bad there been long: standing disputes, but there had grown up a permanent bad feeling hatween men and mis. ters, The men were careless, if not worse, even when they did work, and destroyed more coal than proper working would have required. ‘The masters were upon the point of withdraw- ing the capital from so losing a concern. Yet in two years not only is harmony restored, but the ital makes thirteen and half per cent. net, while the men are paid several pounds year beyond their wages. This resul! shows of itself how it was brought to pass. Not only did the men work harder, and so better earn their wages, but they worked more carefully. and so saved their masters’ property and their own.” New Fall Costumes. White dresses whether for day or evening were never more fashionable tuan now. Some very pretty new suits crdered for early tall Visiting at country houses are made of white mohair, with buff epaulettes and revers of colored sttin. A flat rufile cut on the eross and bound with the color finishes the bottom of the skirt. Accompanying these were some very handsome dresses in narrow striped. checked, and changeable siiks which could be worn upon almost any occasion. These dresses were short avd Civided at the buck into im- mence lengthwise puffings which spread out tan shaped towards the bottom over petticoats made in silk of the contrasting color and trimmed with flat ruches, three narrow feills or one wide one. The froat breadths are per- pectiy plain, the bodies high aud trimmed and low, the sleeves long and orua- mented with three straight puffs, raches or frills matching the color and style ot petticoat. These dresses are very stylist im efi#ct, but only suitable for somewhat rill and siender woinen, the petticoat and paniers reducing i appearance the height of figure. Short di of any kind, it must be remembered, longer made to reach the top of tue boots, but sufficiently long to just clear the ground.” This was the length of the pete coats belonging to the dres.es we lave just de- acribed. Shot or changeable silks will be very fashionable for fall wear, and are richly trimmed with a fringe made in the two promi- nent colors of the silk headed with a braid or twisted piping made of satin in the same colors.

Attempts aie someumes to get rid of them by cut- ting them off down to the surface of the ground, and leaving considerable portions below in the form of short stumps. These sprout again, and they soon become as bad as ever. A better way is to wait nib they are in leaf, at whieb time they are Joosened more rapidly. and pla- cing a thick boot upon it near the tree, they are quickly separated. If done at that time they will not be hkely to sprout azain. 87-The Fenian organization which was ex- pected to revolutionize Irelaad, consisted of 200,(00 men, not counting the Fenians of Amer. ica SF Nuttand Mrs. T.
