I am told that mothers often bring their babies to this institutio and fer- ward apply to the establishment ferpaes as wet nurses and thus manage to get of their own babies and get paid for feeding them. I watched the bringing in of the babiee and saw a number sent out into the country. The re- eeiving room was about twenty feet uare and in the renter of one side of it, nd a low table, seat an intelligent Russian girl with a ledger before her. At one side of her we a pair of large seales, for all the world like a of rocers scales in which sugar iswe' and fore her stood another of the matrons with a tape measure thrown over her shoulder. As I stood in the room I took out my watch and timed the taking in of half a doen babies. These were brought in within twenty minutes and it did not take more than three minutes at the outside to register, wash and take care of each of them. Their mothers, I suppose, brought the babies in. One was a pretty ls- sian peasant girl, who came in in her bare feet with a bundle in her arms. She took this to the table and handed a slip of paper on which was written the name of the baby to the book- keeper. She was asked the date of its birth and was then given a check with a number on it, and her baby was handed over to the girl with the tape measure. This girl un- wrapped the little one in a jify and laid it squalling on the scales. She then gave its weight to the bookkeeper and taking the tape measure from her shoulders ran it around the THaEE VNrORTUNATEs. head of the baby, noted the size of it and then measured its length from crown to sole. These figures were put down and the infant was car- ried off. naked as it was, into the next room and hunl d over to the washer. First, how- ever, its ci'ck of white bone bearing its num- ber wa', tied about its neck and it from this time lost its name and became a number. wAsHINu AND DRESSIXo NEw ARRIVALS. Let us follow it as I did and see how it is taken care of. In the next room an old lady is washing-a baby that was brought in live min- utes earlier. She speaks to the girl who brings the new baby in and the baby is dropped gently on a padded table and left a second while num- ber one is dressed. It continues to squall and kick as it lies there for five seconds on its back, but stops suddenly as the old lady picks it up. It starts upr ngain as she lays it in the copper bath tub hned with flannel. This has warm water in it and into it more warm water is flow- ing. With soap the old lady quickly washes the baby and in ten "econds by my watch she has cleaned every part of its body. She now raises it in her hands and lays it on a dry padded table- She dries its red limbs with a soft towel and puts a little long shirt on its body. Then comes the diaper, which is much the same as the article used by our babies at home, and then the old ladv wraps around it these swaddling clothes and the infant is complete. It is car- ried to its little iron crib and its life as a IRus- sian foundling has begun. Eight days later it will be baptized by the priest in a great silver urn which stands on the door of the next room, and for the next four weeks it is sqre of as good attention and as good food as any baby can have. Its health will be carefully watched and it will be vaccinated with matter taken from inocu- lated calves, which are selected for this purpose and which are kept in another part of the es- tablishment. The vaccine matter is transferred directly from the calf to the child, and the greatest attention is paid to having the animals clean and healthy. FaANE O. CAnPETEa. GOT BIT AT LAST. Rattlers and a Rat Engage in an Interesting but Unequal Contest. From the.Punxsutawner Spirit. Last Thursday evening a large rat was placed in the Hotel Pantail window along with the five rattlesnakes on exhibition there. The rat was at first so terrified at the sight of his venomous companions that he actually fainted. He keeled over and lay in an apparent swoon for fully five minutes. Then he recovered his nerve and began to size up the situation, and in order 1 to test the metal of his reptile associates ran up and bit one on the back. It rattled, coiled and struck. But the rat was not there. Two or three of the snakes pursued the rat, which would run up in a corner, turn and face its ad- versaries. then jump out of the way just in time to escape a hypodermic injection of venom. I The rat ran up a water pipe to the veiling and fell down right on top of a pile of snakes. Then t it hustled away, followed by a big rattler. The t rat faced it and showed its teeth right against its forked tongue and seemed to say, "Strike me if you dare." It straek. but the rat was not - there to receive the blow. This proceeding was kept up until the rat be- gan to consider himself master of the situation. i e seemed to lose all fear of the snakes and r would run over and under them and treat them I as though they were entitled to neither fear nor 1 respect. Finally, about 11 o'clock at night,I when the rat ledl been there four or ave hours and the snakes were all piled up together in onec corner of the window, a piece of cheese was I dropped down on the snakes. Imsmediately thet rat jumped in among the snakes to get It. .The I serpents hissed and shook their iattlas, and the e rat, thinking they wanted the cheeee, prooeeded I to bite two of thema on the back, which made a gneral soattering among them. Then he sat dwn quietly and triumphantly ate the cheese. After he got through he took a notion to have some more fun with the snakes and ran over and hit one of them on the heck, and-i while he was facing the reptile in a saucy,what- I are-you-going-to-do-about si manner, onet of I the other snakes struck and hit the rat on the I side. This angered him very much and he snapped his teeth right in fr'ost of the snake's fangs. But the rat soon began to look very a sick. Its body swelled up and in lees than tea minutes it was dead.

Naw YonE, August 26, 1892. LITTLE ITALIAN girl, dancing in fantas- a-= es tic costume and play- - ing the fiddle on a di tisn Broadway corner. attracted quite a crowd on a recent afternoon. The unusual spectacle ' recalled the days of child slavery in New York, not long gone by, . when the infamous padroni" emnloed wretched children tc scrape violins and caper on the streets. They ,urchased these unfortunates In Italy from ,oor people with large fatilies, who were glad o sell their offspring for a few dollar., the poculative buyers undertaking to clothe and eed the unhappy youngsters and to teach hem to sing and play on musicnl instruments. seductive tales of asjly acquired wealth in Lmerica lent a persuasive inlunence. Altbo-,h itch inveiglement wat against the Italian la. t was practiced to a gro~at extent with im- unity. WHAT BECA1E OF THE CHILDREN. The children thus secu-ed were shipped from aples to Marseilles. From the latter city they vere compelled to walk all the way throigh France, singing. playing and dancing. being nally shipqed from some seaport to tI United states. They were brought to a re:Idezvous it ome New York slum. where they were loilged n squalid quarters. being sent into the streets ty day, while at night ther performad in the owest dens and concert istloons. All of their lrrings they were forced to hand over to the >adrone, of whom thev stood in great awe, eing beaten and started if they did not fete mnongh to satisfy him. Understauding na nglith, they were unable to appeal against the askmaster even if they had dared, and they vere thus entirely helpless. No portion 01 heir gains ever reached their parents, but very ecut was squandered by the padrone in lissipation or hoarded for his private enrich- neut. the results were inevitable. The girls sere lost to virtue at an early age: the boys earned to steal, and both were soon worn out >y the life of exposure and by want of good ood, ending in the hospitals and in the potter's ld. WIPING OUT THE BUSINESS. The celebrated prosecution of the padrone Lncarola, which' resulted in the wiping out of his abominable business in New York, has not ret passed out of the public recollection. In eptember, 1879. the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children received information rom the Italian government that a notorious lealer in child slaves had secured seven boys by ngenious evasions of the law and had started with them for America. A close watch was kept or many weeks at all Atlantic ports and Anca- 'ola and his charges were pounced upon on heir arrival here by the steamer Elysia from .iverpool. The padrone escaped. to be subso- tuentIy captured in an obscure wine shop. He sad been too cautious to call at the custom touse for his violins and harps. TEN YEARS IN THE PENITENTIART. Thereupon ensued a struggle in the courts. knearola employed the best legal talent obtain- ble and made a desperate defense, the society ttting forth its utmost efforts to obtain a con- riction, because it was realized that failure in be case would signify the indeinite perpetua- ion of child slavery in New York. Some diffi- ulty was found in persuading the boys to estify, owing to their dread of the padrone. rhey had all been taught to tell the same story, hat he was their uncle and that he was taking hem to a relative in Canada, and all sorts of trrible threats had been used to persuade hem to adhere to this account of themselves. lowever, being fnally persuaded that they rodid be protected. they told everything, and be accused found himself entangled in a net- rork of evidence from which there was no es- ape. He was sentenced to a term of years in he penitentiary, and with this catagtrophe the ndustry of the padroni wasbrought to an end urever in the metropolis. Incidentally, the estimony at the trial showed that the victims wore sub ected to indescribable tortures, the iris being deliberately corrupted. The little talian dancer of the other day on Broadway ras quickly rescued and taken care of by the uthorities. FLOwER GIRLS TEN TEARS AoO. Ten years ago Broadway, from 23d to 394 treet, was haunted at all hours of the night, as roll as by day, by lower girls, who ofered heir wares for sale on the street and in the sloons. Their ostensible occupation was merely a cloak. One never sees them any more, ecase the law has put a stop to the business. few York is no longer the paradise it formerly as for old imposters and young beggars. A hild cannot now beg enough ia one day to sup- ort a family for a week, as in former years. hildren sent out into the highways of this city i cileet revenue are immediately gather'ed in nd their parents are promptly arrested and ned. FRoN Dooa TO DOR. On a very inclement afternoon in last March girl of eleven years was ,seen by an offoer of he S. P. C. C. on East 24th street accompany- ig a woman from door to door. Ithe carried a mall basket, while the woman lugged a big one. he made calls at baeeet doors, the woaman tanding out of view. Her frail body and inched features made her an object of pity. lnny a bright niekel was dropped into her out- tretched palm andI many a good cold slice was laced in her basket by the charitably disposed. [be money was safely transferred to the roman's purse and the food weas stowed away m her more capacious basket. The wind blew brough the child's tatters and made her shiver. "Come with me," said the offeer, going up to he little girt, "and I will give you some warm lothes." "She no understan'," replied the womuan,who ws at her side in an instant. "We italian--no pik Inglis." "You beg English pretty well." the offeer re- mathed, as he raised the hd of her ba~ket and aw inside food enough to supply a good-sized senmione Italiano. In her aiety to shut down the basket lid the reman dropped her purse and out rolled 'pen- tes and nlckeia-nearly to worth. Subsequent nvestigation proved that the family did not Efer from any amiction of 1verty.

The most important eapture in the begging .asissse ade within reent yesrs was that of Isniel gmith, the "New York Fagin," who sied up a runaway boy and made a slate of urtn, burning his arm with a red- hot poker and iutting acid in the wound to mnake It look hor- ibie.

The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children was called into existence eighteen eages e by tho abject misery of a helpless cidundergoing physical torture at the ba& of an inhumean woman. She was rescued by Mr. Henry Brg and I. now the happy wife of a well-to-dofarmes in New York state. D0un ansapoustam. "Drunk for a penny" and "dead drunk for twopence" were among the signs that graced the outside of the ale houses of old Lann, and they had clean straw within to accomsodate those who desired to sleep their liquor of. "The biggest schooner in the city for fve cents," "the biggest five-cent glass of whisky in the world" are signs of modern New York. These are the places where men call for a schooner of old ale, throw a glass of whisky into it. shake some pepper in and gulp it down. Then they go home and beat their children and wives. )rink is re.ponsible for most of the cruelty to children. Among the ancients drunkenness was regarded. as an aggravation of crime and notasanextenuation. Nobodythoughtof plead- ng "runk. your honor," before a Roman judge. Pity it i. that such is not the case in New York. If it -cre the drunken women who enotheratheir children would not customarily escape with a month on the island. VICE TsAPs FOR Boys have received a good deal of attention at the hands of the S. P. C. C.. which has suppressed several such that were located in the rear of ostensible cigar stores and bird shops. Now and then discovery is made of such a rendez- vous for ju :venile gamblers and embrvo pick- kinlets. where all the attractions of card play- ing and drinking are offered to innocent young- sters Aho may be induced to enter. The amouant of damage that may be done to youth- ful morals by a quietly conducted establish- meat of this kind is enormous. Free boys' clubs have recently been organized in New York, which promise to be very beneficial. There ought to be one in every ward in every big city, and there is an opportunity in this di- reetion for rich and philanthropic people to do much good. Such clubs give the boys soeie- thing to do and afford them a place of resort away from the crowdled tenements. Thus they are not compelled to join 'growler gangs" for the purpo e of amuenrt, and vicious idle- ness has less chance to lead them into criminal ways. If more pains were taken to preserve the youth of the country from moral contami- nation there might not now be 60.000 persons contined in penal institutions and 11,000 more in reformatories in the United States. IN THE CHINESE QCARTER. Small a; is the Chinese population of Now York, they exerciie an astonishing amount of immoral and depraviug inlence. Unrestraing apparently by any moral sense whatever. they are con-tantly coming into collision with the police through their propensity for enticing little girls. and the children born in Mott and Poll streets of pig-tailed fathers and white mothers have very often to be rescued by the S. '. C. C. from surroundings most vile and corrupting. These Chinamen are familiar with vices of every possible description, though of course that does not restrain respectable and Christian young women from teaching them Bible verses and sometimes marrying them.

The business of gathering cigar stumps in gutters along Broadway and intersecting streets is quite an important industry, the material thus cohlected being utilized in the mann- fagture of cigarettes. But children who are fnd engaged in it are quickly pounced upon nowadaye by the society. During the seven- teen years of its existence the S. P. C. C. has rescued 33.633 children. It has brought 21,292 prosecutions and has obtained 20,697 convie- tions. During the same period it has investi- gated 61.749 cases. involving 185.247 children. It rescued 3,683 children during the last year, prosecuted 2,602 cases and secured 2.761 con- victions. Anybody who believes that a child is being ill-treated can secure an Investigation of the matter by applying to the society. This kind of philanthropic work has spread all over the world. Nearly 900 similar societies exist in various countries. THE rArUSX AT THE ROOMs OF THE a. P. C. C. contains an extraordinary assemblage of in- struments of torture. There is a bass ball bat which was used by a father who struck his little boy over the head with it. He got Ave years in prison. Another relic is a potato masher, a blow from which made a child an idiot for life. Hung on the wall ia a pair of shoes that we-e worn by small Prince Leo for walking the tight rope. 'When he performed at Aberle's The- ater here his employers used to beat him so brutally on the stage that finally a number of spectators rescued him. There is a poker which was employed to burn the face and hands of little Evelyn Scott because she was naughty. and there are many stmaps utilized for punish- ing children, some with cruel knots to cut the flesh and others with sharp nails in them. A large collection of toy pistols i. exhibited. Any one convicted of selling such weapons now- adays is prosecuted. It will be remembered how many youngsters were killed by them for- merly. In addition to these there are many implements of torture and abuse from "shep- herds' folds" and baby farms; likewise an opium-smoking set from a den of oriental mag- nificence where a child victim of the vice was found. A knife is shown which was used by a boy to cut off the tails ofcats The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals prose- catted the boy and the S0eiety for the Preven- tion of C'ruelty to Children defended hint In court. The two societies come into amicable collision In this fas-hion sometimes. AFTERI TAKING. They Swap Erperienes of Thseir Vacatis - PlIeasures. Fromt the Chicawo Times. "Hello, timith, old boy!

Inonesene e it may be said that it i easy for a person to owe his own home in thi city for the reason the custom, as well as ell interest. has led to tae adoption of methods which enable people witI small capital to start on the road that at the en< insures a home free of debt to their families There are the various building associations whose aim is to make the small savings count is the effective direction of paying rent Then i is usual to sell houses on a small cash pay ment. with the deferred payments so arranged th.t they can be met each month with little or no greater tax on the income than the rent of a house would be. In the broad sense that tie purchase of a house mean% economy in pert.ona expendi tures and the practice of frugality it cannot be said o be casy for many persons The gryat obstacle in the way of the average man is th:- natural reluctance which is fel toward asuming an obligation that extend into the future. A man unaccustomed to deal ing in sums larger than his daily. weekly or monthly halary is apt to be very much im pres..ed i th the magnitud!e of several thousan< dollars. There are to many contingencies tha may arise, icknoss, 'be toss of position, Ac. that men are inclteed to defer the assnmptiou of any obligation until they have more money in hand. 'I hen again thryare influenced by the hope that in a bort time their prospects willim prove and their income increase. In the mean. time they go on paying out money to the extent of *J &J,0400 and *500 a ycar,nnd with the excep tion that they and their familiea have had a rool over their heads they have nothing at the en< of the years to show for their money. Mol men admit the folly of such a course. But there is a much larger class who don't care. They go on the principle to live in the present and let the future take care of itself. They snend every cent they earn and seem to think that they ane doing their duty. IT CaN BE DNa. Yet the fact remains that any man witi reasonable good headth and steady habits can own his own hotne if he has only the mind to do so. A young man has at married. iie and his wife are young and rigorous. They don't care to live extravagantly. are contented with a moderate mode of We and yet they starl out by renting a house instead of going into one which they can reasonably .expect in a few years to own. Fuppose ha has a few hundred dollars saved up, or if he hasn't he can have in a short time. He dads a modest house which he would be willing to occnupy and he arranges to buy, paying so much down in cash, and these cash payments are some times very small. The balance isarranged in monthly notes. theamount of each note, perhaps. about the same as he would have to pay in rent. Each month he would And himself a little nearer to being the owner of the houe. But It night happen that after a while he would have a chance to sell tie property or else he might want to live in a bet. ter house. His equity in the property, ever if he should seel for exactly what he paid for it. would represent a Larger sum in cash then he ever had before in hi. lift. With this money used as a cash paymou: he could buy a more pretentious house and etart in again to pay for it. luy a man has laid th. foundation of acomfortable competence in just such a way. But, of course, the element <,o speenlation comes in when a property i+ bon,;ii with a viewr to a sale in a highe; mark.t.

In the one c.4. there is something to show for .h money, in the other there is no:hing. There are p-lenty of mnia who have paid out :: rent enough to buy them a homs if it had not been that they waited for this thing or that to happen. which never did. But somehow it always happens that the rent becomes due eadh month and the money is ready to pay it, and yet, according to a generally accepted theory. It would not be ready to meet uractic iv a similar amount that is in the shape of no&s of indebtedness on the home. THE EXPAXroE OF THE ITr. Some recent railroad sehemju aford a strik- ing illustration of thegrowingimportneeof tha city. Itseemsthat the population of some 257,000 in the area of sixty sqsare miles is drawing to. ward it the contiguous country. For miles be- yond the lines of the District the country is tributary to this city, and nonnwes are aow 'be- ing adopted toward'making the relations eloumer by constructing lineasof railroad. There is, for example, the great enterprise which pro'esees the building of a spilendlid boulevard between this city and Basltimore, a distance of forty miles. The main feature of this schemse )iw- erer, Is the building of an electric rairnad, which, in addition to the present railroad facil' ities, will give another rapid and cha smies of reaching that great comnmerciail cenis. Airpady work has been began on an elsetric railroad to connect Washingtoe and AMexaadria and another road is now far advaneed toward completion which wdll extend froma Alesandria to Mount Vernon.

in Meecow than there an In Paris, but it ibsaid that there is little or no Inamtiide hereand the probability is the stilstles of Paris donot represent the tres social state of dbat cityin this regard. I am told that mothers oftenbring their babies to this institutio and fer-ward apply to the establishment ferpaes aswet nurses and thus manage to get of theirown babies and get paid for feeding them. Iwatched the bringing in of the babiee and sawa number sent out into the country. The re-eeiving room was about twenty feet uare andin the renter of one side of it, nd a lowtable, seat an intelligent Russian girl with aledger before her. At one side of her we apairof large seales, for all the world like a ofrocers scales in which sugar iswe' andfore her stood another of the matrons with a

tape measure thrown over her shoulder. As Istood in the room I took out my watch andtimed the taking in of half a doen babies.These were brought in within twenty minutesand it did not take more than three minutes atthe outside to register, wash and take care ofeach of them. Their mothers, I suppose,brought the babies in. One was a pretty ls-sian peasant girl, who came in in her bare feetwith a bundle in her arms. She took this tothe table and handed a slip of paper on whichwas written the name of the baby to the book-keeper. She was asked the date of its birthand was then given a check with a numberon it, and her baby was handed over to thegirl with the tape measure. This girl un-wrapped the little one in a jify and laid itsqualling on the scales. She then gave itsweight to the bookkeeper and taking the tapemeasure from her shoulders ran it around the

THaEE VNrORTUNATEs.head of the baby, noted the size of it and thenmeasured its length from crown to sole. Thesefigures were put down and the infant was car-ried off. naked as it was, into the next roomand hunl d over to the washer. First, how-ever, its ci'ck of white bone bearing its num-ber wa', tied about its neck and it from thistime lost its name and became a number.

wAsHINu AND DRESSIXo NEw ARRIVALS.Let us follow it as I did and see how it is

taken care of. In the next room an old lady iswashing-a baby that was brought in live min-utes earlier. She speaks to the girl who bringsthe new baby in and the baby is dropped gentlyon a padded table and left a second while num-ber one is dressed. It continues to squall andkick as it lies there for five seconds on its back,but stops suddenly as the old lady picks it up.It starts upr ngain as she lays it in the copperbath tub hned with flannel. This has warmwater in it and into it more warm water is flow-ing. With soap the old lady quickly washes thebaby and in ten "econds by my watch she hascleaned every part of its body. She now raisesit in her hands and lays it on a dry paddedtable- She dries its red limbs with a soft toweland puts a little long shirt on its body. Thencomes the diaper, which is much the same as thearticle used by our babies at home, and thenthe old ladv wraps around it these swaddlingclothes and the infant is complete. It is car-ried to its little iron crib and its life as a IRus-sian foundling has begun. Eight days later itwill be baptized by the priest in a great silverurn which stands on the door of the next room,and for the next four weeks it issqre of as good attention and asgood food as any baby can have.Its health will be carefully watched and it willbe vaccinated with matter taken from inocu-lated calves, which are selected for this purposeand which are kept in another part of the es-tablishment. The vaccine matter is transferreddirectly from the calf to the child, and thegreatest attention is paid to having the animalsclean and healthy. FaANE O. CAnPETEa.

GOT BIT AT LAST.

Rattlers and a Rat Engage in an Interestingbut Unequal Contest.

From the.Punxsutawner Spirit.Last Thursday evening a large rat was placed

in the Hotel Pantail window along with the fiverattlesnakes on exhibition there. The rat wasat first so terrified at the sight of his venomouscompanions that he actually fainted. Hekeeled over and lay in an apparent swoon forfully five minutes. Then he recovered his nerveand began to size up the situation, and in order 1to test the metal of his reptile associates ranup and bit one on the back. It rattled, coiledand struck. But the rat was not there. Two orthree of the snakes pursued the rat, whichwould run up in a corner, turn and face its ad-versaries. then jump out of the way just in timeto escape a hypodermic injection of venom. IThe rat ran up a water pipe to the veiling andfell down right on top of a pile of snakes. Then t

it hustled away, followed by a big rattler. The t

rat faced it and showed its teeth right againstits forked tongue and seemed to say, "Strikeme if you dare." It straek. but the rat was not -

there to receive the blow.This proceeding was kept up until the rat be-

gan to consider himself master of the situation. ie seemed to lose all fear of the snakes and r

would run over and under them and treat them Ias though they were entitled to neither fear nor 1respect. Finally, about 11 o'clock at night,Iwhen the rat ledl been there four or ave hoursand the snakes were all piled up together in oneccorner of the window, a piece of cheese was Idropped down on the snakes. Imsmediately thetrat jumped in among the snakes to get It. .The Iserpents hissed and shook their iattlas, and the erat, thinking they wanted the cheeee, prooeeded Ito bite two of thema on the back, which made agneral soattering among them. Then he satdwn quietly and triumphantly ate the cheese.After he got through he took a notion to have

some more fun with the snakes andran over and hit one of them on the heck, and-iwhile he was facing the reptile in a saucy,what- Iare-you-going-to-do-about si manner, onet of Ithe other snakes struck and hit the rat on the Iside. This angered him very much and hesnapped his teeth right in fr'ost of the snake'sfangs. But the rat soon began to look very asick. Its body swelled up and in lees than teaminutes it was dead.

Altbo-,hitch inveiglement wat against the Italian la.t was practiced to a gro~at extent with im-unity.

WHAT BECA1E OF THE CHILDREN.The children thus secu-ed were shipped fromaples to Marseilles. From the latter city theyvere compelled to walk all the way throighFrance, singing. playing and dancing. beingnally shipqed from some seaport to tI United

states. They were brought to a re:Idezvous itome New York slum. where they were loilgedn squalid quarters. being sent into the streetsty day, while at night ther performad in theowest dens and concert istloons. All of theirlrrings they were forced to hand over to the>adrone, of whom thev stood in great awe,eing beaten and started if they did not fetemnongh to satisfy him. Understauding nanglith, they were unable to appeal against theaskmaster even if they had dared, and theyvere thus entirely helpless. No portion 01heir gains ever reached their parents, butvery ecut was squandered by the padrone inlissipation or hoarded for his private enrich-neut. the results were inevitable. The girlssere lost to virtue at an early age: the boysearned to steal, and both were soon worn out>y the life of exposure and by want of goodood, ending in the hospitals and in the potter'sld. WIPING OUT THE BUSINESS.The celebrated prosecution of the padrone

Lncarola, which' resulted in the wiping out ofhis abominable business in New York, has notret passed out of the public recollection. Ineptember, 1879. the Society for the Preventionof Cruelty to Children received informationrom the Italian government that a notoriouslealer in child slaves had secured seven boys byngenious evasions of the law and had startedwith them for America. A close watch was keptor many weeks at all Atlantic ports and Anca-'ola and his charges were pounced upon onheir arrival here by the steamer Elysia from.iverpool. The padrone escaped. to be subso-tuentIy captured in an obscure wine shop. Hesad been too cautious to call at the customtouse for his violins and harps.

TEN YEARS IN THE PENITENTIART.Thereupon ensued a struggle in the courts.

knearola employed the best legal talent obtain-ble and made a desperate defense, the societyttting forth its utmost efforts to obtain a con-riction, because it was realized that failure inbe case would signify the indeinite perpetua-ion of child slavery in New York. Some diffi-ulty was found in persuading the boys toestify, owing to their dread of the padrone.rhey had all been taught to tell the same story,hat he was their uncle and that he was takinghem to a relative in Canada, and all sorts oftrrible threats had been used to persuadehem to adhere to this account of themselves.lowever, being fnally persuaded that theyrodid be protected. they told everything, andbe accused found himself entangled in a net-rork of evidence from which there was no es-ape. He was sentenced to a term of years inhe penitentiary, and with this catagtrophe thendustry of the padroni wasbrought to an endurever in the metropolis. Incidentally, theestimony at the trial showed that the victimswore sub ected to indescribable tortures, theiris being deliberately corrupted. The littletalian dancer of the other day on Broadwayras quickly rescued and taken care of by theuthorities.

FLOwER GIRLS TEN TEARS AoO.Ten years ago Broadway, from 23d to 394

treet, was haunted at all hours of the night, asroll as by day, by lower girls, who oferedheir wares for sale on the street and in thesloons. Their ostensible occupation wasmerely a cloak. One never sees them any more,ecase the law has put a stop to the business.few York is no longer the paradise it formerlyas for old imposters and young beggars. Ahild cannot now beg enough ia one day to sup-ort a family for a week, as in former years.

FRoN Dooa TO DOR.On a very inclement afternoon in last Marchgirl of eleven years was ,seen by an offoer ofhe S. P. C. C. on East 24th street accompany-ig a woman from door to door. Ithe carried amall basket, while the woman lugged a big one.he made calls at baeeet doors, the woamantanding out of view. Her frail body andinched features made her an object of pity.lnny a bright niekel was dropped into her out-

Pity it i. that such is not the case inNew York. If it -cre the drunken women whoenotheratheir children would not customarilyescape with a month on the island.

VICE TsAPs FOR Boyshave received a good deal of attention at thehands of the S. P. C. C.. which has suppressedseveral such that were located in the rear ofostensible cigar stores and bird shops. Nowand then discovery is made of such a rendez-vous for ju:venile gamblers and embrvo pick-kinlets. where all the attractions of card play-ing and drinking are offered to innocent young-sters Aho may be induced to enter. Theamouant of damage that may be done to youth-ful morals by a quietly conducted establish-meat of this kind is enormous. Free boys'clubs have recently been organized in NewYork, which promise to be very beneficial.There ought to be one in every ward in everybig city, and there is an opportunity in this di-reetion for rich and philanthropic people to domuch good. Such clubs give the boys soeie-thing to do and afford them a place of resortaway from the crowdled tenements. Thus theyare not compelled to join 'growler gangs" forthe purpo e of amuenrt, and vicious idle-ness has less chance to lead them into criminalways. If more pains were taken to preservethe youth of the country from moral contami-nation there might not now be 60.000 personscontined in penal institutions and 11,000 morein reformatories in the United States.

IN THE CHINESE QCARTER.Small a; is the Chinese population of Now

York, they exerciie an astonishing amount ofimmoral and depraviuginlence. Unrestraingapparently by any moral sense whatever. theyare con-tantly coming into collision with thepolice through their propensity for enticinglittle girls. and the children born in Mott andPoll streets of pig-tailed fathers and whitemothers have very often to be rescued by theS. '. C. C. from surroundings most vile andcorrupting. These Chinamen are familiar withvices of every possible description, though ofcourse that does not restrain respectable andChristian young women from teaching themBible verses and sometimes marrying them.

THE WORE OF THE 5 P. a C.The business of gathering cigar stumps in

gutters along Broadway and intersecting streetsis quite an important industry, the materialthus cohlected being utilized in the mann-fagture of cigarettes. But children who arefnd engaged in it are quickly pounced uponnowadaye by the society. During the seven-teen years of its existence the S. P. C. C. hasrescued 33.633 children. It has brought 21,292prosecutions and has obtained 20,697 convie-tions. During the same period it has investi-gated 61.749 cases. involving 185.247 children.It rescued 3,683 children during the last year,prosecuted 2,602 cases and secured 2.761 con-victions. Anybody who believes that a child isbeing ill-treated can secure an Investigation ofthe matter by applying to the society. Thiskind of philanthropic work has spread all overthe world. Nearly 900 similar societies exist invarious countries.THE rArUSX AT THE ROOMs OF THE a. P. C. C.contains an extraordinary assemblage of in-struments of torture. There is a bass ball batwhich was used by a father who struck his littleboy over the head with it. He got Ave years inprison. Another relic is a potato masher, ablow from which made a child an idiot for life.Hung on the wall ia a pair of shoes that we-ewornby small Prince Leo for walking the tightrope. 'When he performed at Aberle's The-ater here his employers used to beat him sobrutally on the stage that finally a number ofspectators rescued him. There is a poker whichwas employed to burn the face and hands oflittle Evelyn Scott because she was naughty.and there are many stmaps utilized for punish-ing children, some with cruel knots to cut theflesh and others with sharp nails in them. Alarge collection of toy pistols i. exhibited. Anyone convicted of selling such weapons now-adays is prosecuted. It will be rememberedhow many youngsters were killed by them for-merly. In addition to these there are manyimplements of torture and abuse from "shep-herds' folds" and baby farms; likewise anopium-smoking set from a den of oriental mag-nificence where a child victim of the vice wasfound. A knife is shown which was used by aboyto cut off the tailsofcats The Societyforthe Prevention of Cruelty to Animals prose-catted the boy and the S0eiety for the Preven-tion of C'ruelty to Children defended hint Incourt.

e it may be said that it ieasy for a person to owehis own home in thicity for the reason thecustom, as well as ellinterest. has led to tae

adoption of methods which enable people witIsmall capital to start on the road that at the en<insures a home free of debt to their familiesThere are the various building associationswhose aim is to make the small savings count isthe effective direction of paying rent Then iis usual to sell houses on a small cash payment. with the deferred payments so arrangedth.t they can be met each month with little orno greater tax on the income than the rent of ahouse would be. In the broad sense that tiepurchase of a house mean% economy in pert.onaexpendi tures and the practice of frugality itcannot be said o be casy for many personsThe gryat obstacle in the way of the averageman is th:- natural reluctance which is feltoward asuming an obligation that extendinto the future. A man unaccustomed to dealing in sums larger than his daily. weekly ormonthly halary is apt to be very much impres..ed i th the magnitud!e of several thousan<dollars. There are to many contingencies thamay arise, icknoss, 'be toss of position, Ac.that men are inclteed to defer the assnmptiouof any obligation until they have more moneyin hand. 'I hen again thryare influenced by thehope that in a bort time their prospects willimprove and their income increase. In the mean.time they go on paying out money to the extentof *J&J,0400 and *500 a ycar,nnd with the exception that they and their familiea have had a roolover their heads they have nothing at the en<of the years to show for their money. Molmen admit the folly of such a course. But thereis a much larger class who don't care. They goon the principle to live in the present and letthe future take care of itself. They snend everycent they earn and seem to think that they anedoing their duty.

IT CaN BE DNa.Yet the fact remains that any man witi

reasonable good headth and steady habits canown his own hotne if he has only the mind todo so. A young man has at married. iieand his wife are young and rigorous. Theydon't care to live extravagantly. are contentedwith a moderate mode of We and yet they starlout by renting a house instead of going into onewhich they can reasonably .expect in a few yearsto own. Fuppose ha has a few hundred dollarssaved up, or if he hasn't he can have in ashort time. He dadsa modest house which hewould be willing to occnupy and he arrangesto buy, paying so much down in cash, and thesecash payments are some times very small. Thebalance isarranged in monthly notes. theamountof each note, perhaps. about the same as hewould have to pay in rent. Each month hewould And himself a little nearer to being theowner of the houe. But It night happen thatafter a while he would have a chance to sell tieproperty or else he might want to live in a bet.ter house. His equity in the property, everif he should seel for exactly what hepaid for it. would represent a Largersum in cash then he ever had before in hi. lift.With this money used as a cash paymou: hecould buy a more pretentious house and etartin again to pay for it. luy a man has laidth.foundation of acomfortable competence in justsuch a way. But, of course, the element <,ospeenlation comes in when a property i+ bon,;iiwith a viewr to a sale in a highe; mark.t. Wthe average man there need to be no .ho'vh ofspeculation, for whe'h.er he seils hi., properttor keeps it as long as h+? is gradua'le' a ig ro-it he is that mn.h ahoa-l of tAheman who rents. In the one c.4.there is something to show for .hmoney, in the other there is no:hing.There are p-lenty of mnia who have paid out ::rent enough to buy them a homs if it had notbeen that they waited for this thing or that tohappen. which never did. But somehow italways happens that the rent becomes due eadhmonth and the money is ready to pay it, andyet, according to a generally accepted theory.It would not be ready to meet uractic iv asimilar amount that is in the shape of no&sofindebtedness on the home.

THE EXPAXroE OF THE ITr.Some recent railroad sehemju aford a strik-

ing illustration of thegrowingimportneeof thacity. Itseemsthat the population of some 257,000in the area of sixty sqsare miles is drawing to.ward it the contiguous country. For miles be-yond the lines of the District the country istributary to this city, and nonnwes are aow 'be-ing adopted toward'making the relations eloumerby constructing lineasof railroad. There is, forexample, the great enterprise which pro'eseesthe building of a spilendlid boulevard betweenthis city and Basltimore, a distance of fortymiles. The main feature of this schemse )iw-erer, Is the building of an electric rairnad,which, in addition to the present railroad facil'ities, will give another rapid and cha smiesof reaching that great comnmerciail cenis.Airpady work has been began on an elsetric
