Tliero arc over one tboiiAand well fed, well 1 rubral, well paid young women in New Yor!j city who earn their living making hlirouds for tho :-ad. The ,'J5oiiir cf the Khirt" ivns not written for them. They King no sonars with voices of dolorous pitch, ami iinleed tlwy have very little reason for !i ing so. Their songs are as merry as the i lay i3 long, and are sung to the busy hum of tewing machines. Less doleful melodies it would ho hard to find. Tho slirou.-linukei? of New York form a distinct class of bread winners. They differ from other u-edl plyei-s as essentially us MlYcrsmitus diller frotn locksmiths. An ex perienced bhroudmnker may know how to iiiako a dross, hut a dres-smnker has little or no knowledge .f how a shroud should be con structed. This part is emphasized whenever ailresHuiakersecuresempIoymentin a fehroud factory. 1-fore sho is able to earn the reg ular wages of her craft khe must serve an apprenticeship, the length of which dejieuds solely upon her aptitude to learn tho peculiar knack of this strange trade. There are twelve well known firms in this city eugaged in the manufacture of shrouds, and it is in their factories that all tha work is done. The wages aro well maintained, although fixed by no union, and employment is guaranteed thojear through, for the sale of shrouds is not marked by any of the fluctuations which are noted in somo other branches of manu facture. New York is tho recognized headquarters for tho clothing of tho dead as well as of the living. There is nothing about a shroud factory to indicate tho character of its product. Even tho rows of coffins and entic ing varieties of caskets in tho ware room Imj- low seem to belong to another business alto gether. Tho showcases that ore visible from the head of the stairs, with their disnlav of tho latest styles in shrouds, appear to have liccu left there, perhaps by some previous tenant, and bear no issiL!e relation to the use the rooir.s are now leing put. It is very diili- cult to imagine that these light hearted irirls w ho chat so merrily over their machines are turning out burial robes by the dozen, but yi-h is the case, and to them the work is no mora dolorous than tha making of shirts. CLATTER AXD CHATTER. If you are curious come with me to ono of tho largest factories in the city, within n few Inocks of Cooper union, in the Bowery, and see lor yourself. As toe door of tho shop opens tho noise is almost deafening. Between the clatter of tho machines on the one hand nml the chatter of the girls on the other, one can hardly hear himself speak. ItislOo'cloclt early for us, rerhaps, but not for the girls. incv nave teen at work suice 8, and ouo- tui.rtT of their day has already been spent. in the center of tho room is a double row of bewiug machines, varying in size and iower, and ail fastened to two long and narrow tables with little round places cut in tho s:iies uno winch the operators snugly fit. At tho other end of the room a re several counters forming a quadrangle. Within this square sit i uozen young women chatting and sewing, wvilo n t.:ll, middle aged, motherh" woman snips out of yards upon j-ards of black, w bite and brown cloth patterns of shrouds. Shrouds witu long shirts, shrouds with short skirts. shrouds with no skirts at aiL Shrouds for the rich ami shrouds for the poor. And such pattt rns they are. 1 his cialjorate design in white satin, with soft ruching around the neck and fleecy ruffles around the wristbands, is modeled after a wedding gown as nearly as is possi ble considering tho diiTerent use it is to be put to. It will grace the funeral of some rich patron of a fashionablo undertaker. This plain black garment, with a false shirt bosom f-.nd a collar w hich ties behind with a cord, is patterned after an evening suit. It is quiet and eminently respectable. It is intended for a man of middle ago and costs quite as much as a suit worn in life. Besides tl;ei.e there are roles of brown and combina tions of brown a'id black, some faced with atiu, some with silk, and others plain even to severity. These form the cheaper grade of good.5 and are worn by men or women of advunceil years. Tho white robes are all in tended for the young. Some of these are marvelous pieces of work, and if embroid ered by hand would cost a small fortune. This littla gown would hardly reach from your hand to j our elbow. The tiny neck band is iiiflled and tied together in front w ith a white satin bow. The little sleeves are covered w ith embroidery and the skirt is elaborately trimmed with lace. It is a baby shroud and is tho smallest size that is made. The stylt3 in shrouds are continually changing. Every fashion used by tho living contributes to the robing of the dead. Each large far-lory hns its special designer, and .)oi evi : 1 1: .-.; ;i can still the competition be tween iiv-ii. Uenjauiin Northrup iu St. .Loui.-i ilepubiioaiE. LOCK3 OF GOLDEN HAIR. Legendary Lor Concerning Hair of San Kill nary Tint Old I'roirrlt. Witt paragraphera are at present ac customed to eatifize in many ways the red haired girl, her appearance being said to be. connected w ith the proximate vision of a whito horse. It is perhaps impossi ble to say when this idea originated, but it is proUable that it liad it3 rise in tho ancient aversion to red haired icrsons, very wide 6pread. Various reasons have been assigned for this curious antipathy. Mjthologiits claim that red hair repre sents tho dangerous lightning ttroke, or the withering ra3's of tho summer sun. Indra, god of tho elmcnt, has golden hair, and Loki, a mischievous imp, was red haired. The mermaid is often repre sented as combing her golden locks, and red bearded demons are not uncommon. 'Rothbart, Teufelsart" Cral beard. devil's kind), is an old German proverb. Others claim that the origin of the superstition that red haired men were treacherous, came from a notion that Judas was red haired. Nothing is said as to the color of his hair in the New Testament, and he is shown with black hair in most of the pamted renrcsenta- i tions of the Middle Ages. A German fresco of tho Twelfth century, however, pictures the arch traitor as a red haired man. It, is probabla that Christian in fluence in Teutonic lands brought about this great antipathy to red hair, as many of the heathen gods and goddesses wore golden locks. Red has always been a de tested color. It was tho hue of the pirate flag, and its sanguinary tint has been chosen for the banner of tho An archists. It was for a long time an un fashionable color in England, and auburn locks were, therefore, a disadvantage to the iossessor. Again, it is probable that much of this odium laid upon red haired men arose from traditional hatred against Teutonic conquerors, tho yellow haired Goths, the rjed bearded Danes and the ruddy North men alike oppressing Roman, Saxon and Gaul. In tho old romances of tho Round Table, tho red knight of the Red Lands represents death, whom Sir Gawuin finally conquers in combat. Shakespeare alludes to the prevalent superstition on this subject in "As You Like It. " Noi m it yet entirely extinct in parts of Eng land. In Devonshire it is thought un lucky to have a red haired person first enter the house on New Year's day, and black haired lads go the rounds, and are rewarded by presents. There is a proverb among Scotch Highlanders, "Avoid the red head and the steep rock." In other Eurojean lands this dislike a!so exists. There i3 a Danish proverb that "red heads and elders do not flourish in good soil." A red cavalier figures in many folk lore tales, and it is said that "evil speakers and the red cavalier cause men much distress." Similar ideas formerly existed in Ger many. An old poem has it that '-Red haired men and elder trees are rare in fertile soil." Another writer about 1000 A. D.. advises the reader, "Not to thee a red man for a special friend." William of Tyre, writing in tho Twelfth century. say or rulk, of Jerusalem, who was red haired. Ho was affable, benignant, and, contrary to the rule of that color, kind and merciful." French proverbs carry the antipathy to animals. "He is wicked as a red ass," is a saying in man y places. Rochefort, in an editorial in his paper, calls a political opponent a "red ass." Another French proverb says, "Red haired men and woolly dogs aro better dead than known, " and there is an Italian saying to the same effect. The Chinese antipathy to red hair is well known One of their familiar ap pellations for foreigners is "red haired devils." A Slavic proverb also illustrates the same superstition. "At tho sight of a bearded woman and red haired men one tlees away." Among a certain tribe of Bedouin Arabs there is a saying against "evil bringers like Qodar the red haired." Qodar traditionally caused great evils to the tribe, ami hence all rod beaded men are regarded as malcvolen F. S. Bassett in Globe-Democrat. EYES FOR THE ELir.'D."

It is an interesting fact, especial" in view of certain comparisons nearer Iioine that it suggests, tliat in Australia the subject of school hygiene lias received special attention for some years in the state or public schools. The teachers are particularly instructed to be careful about the spread of infectious diseases, and the public health law is sufficiently stringent to 6ecure the exclusion of scholars and teachers from houses in which communicable diseases exist. In the state schools of Victoria, now for a number of years, a system of ob ject lessons has l?een given, with a view to imparting elementary instruction bear ing upon the health of tlie people; these lessons generally include such subjects as food, clotliing, ventilation, cleanliness and the prevention of infectious diseases. They have also been given at stated times lessons for the treatment of snake bite, for the resuscitation of the drowned and for the first aid to tlie injured. The department of education requires also some elementary knowledge on the part of teachers upoq tle subjects of sanita tion and physiology. New York Trib une. The Candid Trauip.
