Facts Heard In Congress.
While every utterance in congress la
duly recorded by stenographers and
appears In the Congressional Record
and while hearings before committees
and commissions are likewise a mat
ter of record, yet owing largely to the
voluminous printed documents the
greater portion of vital matters is lost
to view, .hist recently In a speech
made on I he floor of the bouse the fol
lowing facts were stated, having been
collected by the New York child labor
commission;
Children's dresses are paid for at the
rate of 50 cents per dozen; the avernge
daily output for one person in thirteen
hours Is one dozen. Violets are made
for 3V6 cents per gross, and a mother,
three girls and a grandmother earn CO
cents per day. The average wage of
an entire family at garment finishing
is from GO to 70 cents per day. Making
cigarette wrappers brings 10 cents per
1,000, and a woman working from ti

PEPYS, THE DIARIST.
Pronouncing the Name of the Garru
lous Old Gossip.
Lovers, of Pepys often dispute over
the correct pronunciation of his name.
The form Peeps Is the one that has
chief authority on its side, and it is
according to analogy in other like
spellings, such as Wemyss, pronounced
Weems. Peeps still holds good at
Cambridge and dates from its bearer's
own time. It Is also retained by the
representatives of Samuel's sister, the
Pepys Cockerell family who are heirs
to his fame and some of his property.
The late Rev. J. W. Ebsworth. an in
defatigable collector and editor of bal
lads, adopts this pronunciation In his
pleasing stanzas on "A Gossip at Dept
ford." For instance:
The state has no servant of all whom she
keeps
Like my squab little friend, who no la
bor does shirk,
The pattern of quill driving clerks, Sam
Pepys.
A disturbing element in the discus
sion is that' the branch of the family
represented by the Earl of Cottenham
pronounce the name Peppis.
No bearer of the name has ever been
known as Peps, though Ashby Sterry,
a respected member of the Pepys club,
follows this common but erroneous
pronunciation in this excellent epi
gram, published in the London Graphic
November. 1891 :
There are people, I'm told some say there
are heaps -Who
speak of the talkative Samuel as
Peeps. ,
And some, so precise and "pedantic their
step is.
Who call the delightful old diarist Pepys,
But those I, think right, and I follow their
steps, ' v.'
Ever mention the garrulous gossip as Peps!
Woes of Translators. .
The way of translators Is hard, es
pecially where African native lan-.
guages are concerned. Favorite Eng
lish hymns, translated for the benefit
of the natives, sometimes contain ren
derings not altogether faultless. "Go
labor on, spend and be spent." was
given as "Go blunder on." etc. The
most extravagant Instance, however,
was the hymn, "Lord. Dismiss Us
With Thy Blessing." which the na
tives were exhorted to join fervently
in singing. Months later the mission
aries discovered that what they really
had been singing was, "Lord, kick us
out, softly, softly." Glasgow Herald. ,
To Meet an Emergency. ,
"Madam, have you any old clothes to
give away?"
"I have a suit belonging to my hus
band, but I. fear it is too big for you."
"Oh, that will be all right. You just
set me out a square meal and watch
me eat enough so that J can fill it,"
