FIFTY YEARS A MILL “GIRL.’*
A Muuchaifttf Tonu'i Lengthy Ex
pirlem >■ a Wmth.
A few days ago Miss Matilda Davis,
of Lawrence, Mass., beg.in her fifty
first year as a weaver. Whan 13 years
of age she began to earn her own liv
ing in a mill at Woodstock, Maine,
where she was born, ami from that
day to this has worked in various New
England mills as a weaver. As is well
known, a mill workers' life to-day is
not “all beer and skittles," but in
times long past it wasinfinitely worse.
When Miss Davis first went to work in
Dedham half a century ago, she
and her fellow weavers were only
paid once in three months, counting
themselves lucky if they averaged
$2.50 a week. The girls did not pay
their own board, pay for which was
deducted from their earnings by the
boarding mistress in the mill count
ing room. The boarding-houses were
owned by the corporations and the
food was poor in quality and scarce in
quantity. The same bill of fare was
presented the year round—fried pota
toes, doughnuts and biscuits for
breakfast, with coffee sweetened with
molasses; tough meat and potatoes
for dinner, and a repetition of break
fast for the evening meal. One day
in each week bread and milk was all
they had for dinner. No such thing
as a chair was ever seen in a corpora
tion boarding-house, benches doing
duty instead; carpets were also
unheard of there. At 10
o'clock at night all lights were
supposed to be out and everybody in
bed. A warning bell rang nightly at
9:45, and fifteen minutes later the
“master of the house,” as he was
then known, made a tour to see that
all lights were out. Of recreation
these white slaves had little or none;
indeed, after working fourteen hours
a day they were not exactly in the
humor for anything of the kind.
Singing-school was about the only
amusement they knew, except once a
year when "the circus” came to town.
This was an event to which neither
the millowners nor the tradesmen
looked forward with any marked de
gree of satisfaction. The circus took
too much money out of town.
HE WAS COMFORTABLE.
Negro Did Not Object to Having the
Hair Singed From HU Head.
No one who visits the Louisville
custom house during the terms of the
federal court will deny that the
mountaineers are peculiar people.
They are hardy, healthy, aud used to
all sorts of hardships. In passing
through the custom house last winter
I came across a negro mountaineer.
Whether he was born in the moun
tains I did not learn, but he had lived
in that part of Kentucky for so long
that he was one of them truly. It
was in the afternoon of one of the co.'d
days during the first part of the week.
He was in a peculiar position when I
saw him and I tried to help him. He
had become cold, probably from wan
dering around the streets, and ha4
gone into the custom house and lain
down by one of the heaters. His hat
was off and his pillow was the hot
pipes of the heater.
I would not have noticed him par
ticularly had not the air been charged
with an odor that smelled very much
like burning hair. I looked at the
negro closely. His bushy head was
resting against the hpt pipes aud his
hair was scorching. He was sleeping
profoundly, unconscious, I suppose,
even that he was in a big city. The
perspiration was streaming down his
face, and trickled off his nose and lips
as he moved them with loud gutteral
snores. I touched my gloved hand to
the heater. It was so hot I jerked it
away quickly. I shook the man until
he was fairly awake and told him his
head was almost on fire.
“Uh! oh, dat ain’t hot; it’s jis com
fer’ble,” and his head rested back
against the pipes, and he was sleep
ing again.
The Bridal Toll.
A curious but rather inconvenient
custom of exacting' toll from newly
married conples appears to survive at
Wisden, in England. The other day
a marriage took place in the Congre
gational chapel, and on the happy
pair emerging from the building they
found their way to their waiting cab
barred by a number of women, who
had tied their aprons together and
stretched them across the gateway.
When these were satisfied with a dou
ceur, and the cab was gained, progress
was again barred by a couple of car
ters. who had drawn their teams
across the road, and who also exacted
toll. Sometimes, it appears, several
cords are drawn across the road at in
tervals on the line of route, and the
inroads on the bridegroom’s purse are
thus considerable.
Tricks of Desert Coyotes.
Coyotes show a strength of under
standing that is sometimes alarming.
Desert prospectors, like Mr. Riley,
who have been often on the verge of
death, tell me that when parties are
lost in the wilds the coyotes persis
tently follow, and only when they are
leading for water will these misera
ble creatures relinquish pursuit. The
Indians of Palm Springs have a strong
belief in the cleverness of coyotes,and
have informed me in all seriousness
that coyotes are known to steal large
watermelons and roll them miles
away from where the theft was com
mitted. It is certain that coyotes,
when grape hunting, only select the
largest and ripest bunches, and they
display this sagacity when choosing
melons. _
A "Blowing Cave" In Pennsylvania.
In Lancaster county, Pennsylvania,
on a hilltop a short distance from
York Furnace bridge, is located the
famous natural “blow hole.” It is
not a cave, but a series ot fissures ic
the rocks, from which a cold draft ol
air continually issues.
