France contains a population of 28,
000,000, of which Inhabit
I 'iris, says the linkers' Journal. An a
general rule, French famlll do not
make their own bread, hence the vast
ness of the trade. In Turin there are
1,820 master bakers, or 2.3H0 If Its de
partment, the Seine, be comprised.
Tbore are 8,000 Journeymen bakers
constantly employed, and from 25 to 30
per cent always on the lookout for
work, due, not to hands having been
paid off, but to the Influx of young
bakers from the province who come to
seek engagements. It Is in the prov
inces that apprentices serve their time,
and only exceptionally no In the capital,
a we shall see later on. Of the 1,820
master baker about 1,200 work like
their men; when not o engaged, aH la
the case In Important establishments,
they generally superintend In the shop,
from 4 o'clock In the morning, the ar
rival of the bread from the ovens, con
trol 1U delivery to the carrier of lxlh
sexes for customers, In addition to at
tending to wale to the general public.
About 10 o'clock he to replaced by hla
wife, who remains In charge of the
shop till 9:30 p. in., that dotting hour
being fixed by law, aa well an the time
for opening, 0 o'clock a. in. ,
It was In 18fl3 that the Inkers' mo
nopoly WAD alKiltehed. Since then the
number of bakers ba tripled. This
competition, naturally reduces profits
all around, for the opening of a Itakery
necessitates a capital varying from $.",
000 to $30,000. Then the shop fittings
are rich, stylish and attractive. Bakers
form almost a caste. Harely a Journey-
. man baker rises to lecoine a Minster
baker, and the latter, when not Inter
marrying, never go outside the circle
of millers.
To Settle n Odd Point.
A suit Involving the rights of a labor
organization to boycott a member Is
now before Judge McCarthy and a Jury
In New York City. Joseph Council, a
stonecutter, and a memls-r of the Jour
neymen Stonecutters' Association of
New York, New Jersey and vicinity,
was discharged from a Job June .", 1.Hir,
In consequence of the other stonecut
ters being culled off by a walking dele
gate. Conned was treasurer of the union,
and was requested to turn liiH lKioks
over to the union. lie claimed t lu t
tlM Itooka were his personal property,
but that be would allow the couimiltee
to examine them In the presence of
another committee of his selection.
This was refused, and he declined to
deliver up the (sinks. So the union
) tossed a resolution that unless he turn
ed over the books no member of the
organization should work with him.
A couple of days Inter Walking Del
egate Alexander Nelson not! tied the
thirty or forty men working on the St.
Luke's hospital extension, where Cou
ncil was employed, that as he had fail
ed to deliver the Ixsiks they would
have to stop work, which they did. He
fore the other stonecutters would re
turn to work the contractors were
obliged to discharge Council.
Council then brought suit against
George 1'eacoek, as president of the
union, for $2,0oo damages for conspir
acy to deprive him of earning a living.
Expenses In Johonneiibnrir.
It is Impossible, unless possessed of
considerable means, to live with com
fort in a private house In Johannes
burg. Bents are. In proportion to all
oilier prices asked, enormous, says
Temple Itar. It Is dilllcult for whip
workingnieti engaged in the mines to
obtain a single room In a tin shanty
under a rental of fl a month at the
very least, while i small villa of live
rooms, built of corrugated Iron, will
easily let at 12 to 11 a month, and
.V), 00 ami 100 a month Is cheerful
ly paid for a furnished house, such as
one could obtain In Ktiglaud for .'1
guineas a week at the seaside. Ser
vants' wages are also very high. A
raw Katllr girl will receive 1 a month,
knowing absolutely nothing and
apeak lug only Kaffir. A cape that Is,
half colored -girl who cat cook a little
will easily command 0 or 7 a month,
while a white girl, respectable and
honest, can ask almost any price If
she . will come as a nurse or lady's
maid, and will gladly be taught all her
duties. Johannesburg Is at the present
time an "HI Dorado" for domestic ser
vants; the wonder Is that more are not
enterprising enough to emigrate, and,
by contrast with the wags paid at
home, step at once Into comparative
affluence.
Forewoman of a I'rcu-Hoom,
The unique distinction of being about
the only forewoman of a pressroom In
the country Is held by .Miss Ilena
Challender of Manistee,' Mich., whose
skill and value astonishes peripatetic
printers happening to reach that nock
of the woods. Miss Challender was
only 10 years old when she began her
career at the on the Luther I. mice.

At one time, while the editor was
away, she did the entire work of the
office, editing, typesetting and press-
work. After the consolidation of the
paper with another she worked at
typesetting for a year, and then was
made "foreman" and Intrusted with
the management of the mechanical de
partment She was last year elected a
member of Typographical Union No.

Nrceaaity for Organization.
The recent uprising of the underpaid,
lily-fared ltuswlan workmen In the tex
tile Industries and -the successful ter
mination of the long strike of the shoe
makers of Denmark, the unrest pre
vailing among the workers of all conn
trie, even iu Japan, is a sure Indica
tion that they are commencing to think,
SHys George W. Perkins In the Cigar
makers' Journal. When this vajt army
gets to think In sure enough earnesl
ueMS the work of organization along the
craft lines In trades unions will pro
gress with wonderful rapidity. The
necessity for organization is becoming
more and more apimrent each day. In
former years skilled workmen were
wont to rely on their skill and tho
scarcity of available men to take their
places In lieu of a trade union to pro
tect them. With the Introduction of
machinery this has all Iteen changed,
and the worker Is commencing to learn
that hi only means of protection and
salvation Is iu organization.
The workers cod by uniting thorough
ly and working to perfect unison not
only maintain, but Increase their stand
ard of life, even If all skilled trades
should become supplanted by machin
ery. Machinery and the natural com
petition keeps down the ctwt of living,
while there Is ixwwlbly nothing to pie
vent the workers from uniting and In
creasing wagi-s, shortening the hours of
latior until extremes meet. Then and
not until then will labor realize the lull
fruits of Its toil.
The great trade union movement of
the world Is rdowly but surely leading
the wandering tollers In the right direc
tion. Already the clouds of dcsist'ir are
parting and the guiding star of hope Is
plainly seen in the distance, ever Is-ck-ouiug
us onward and upward. Noth
ing can stop the onward progress of the
trade union movement Its upward
course Is Just as sure and as logical as
the law of gravitation.

the season, Including the many different
kinds of small ones, seem to be put to
gether with a puriswic for "'I their ap
parent careliwsncrss. The first hat of
the five shown to-day had that decep
tive look of being thrown together, hit
or miss, when really it was very care
fully planned. It had a chwely braided
crown of wired chenille and shot taf
feta, the latter being cut Into strips
with unhemmcd edges and twisted In
and out of the chenille. The brim was
covered with a puffed drapery of green
velvet that formed loops In back, and
two large birds completed the trim
ming.
Almost all crowns narrow a little to
ward the top, and those that have high
crowns often narrow a great deal. The
one conspicuous exception to this rule
Is the type shown In the second picture
and It Is one that Is seen very often on
the promenade. It Is the season's varia
tion of the English vtulking hat, and is
so great a one that the original is hard
ly recognizable, lis crown suggests the
old-time bell shape, and the sides are
wide and much rolled. In this example
Nile green satin was disposed In pretty
puds on the brim and formed a bunch
garniture at the left. Black ostrich
plumes and a big white aigrette roue
from tho center. The hat Itself was
black felt, and had n narrow lsirder of
Mack velvet. If your hat be a really fine

and thick light weight felt, you will
leave It edges unbound, so that Its
quality may show; that Is a whim of
this season. But whenever binding Is
used, It Is almost always black, no mat
tar what Uie color of Die hat, and Is
either velvet or moire.
Picture hats run rather more to the
fantastic than they Lave done of re
cent seasons, and are just so much leas
suitable for wear with costumes that
are not elaborately dressy. But while
there are many of these, there are
many more reasonable hats that are
picturesque enough for the ordinary
woman's needs. Ribbon wings, short
feathers, plumes, flowers, lace and fur
are all mixed on hats, even those which
do not profess to be "picture" affairs,
and It seems to be understood that
TUB HIGH CllOWM THAT NARROWS.
while a hat may harmonize with a se
vere street gown, the geueral rule is
that the hat may follow Its own
course of color. That course may
take it pretty well through the rain
bow. Chenille hats are moderately
dressy, and If made to carry some late
wrinkle of the milliner's Ingenuity, will
do excellent service. The artist sketch
ed one of these desirable hats In the
next Illustration. It was of wired
chenille with a low, flat crown and wide
brim, In such a mamier that the upper
part stood up, and the lower lay flat.
At the left side this arrangement was
re-enforced with more ruffles and a
bunch of heliotrope flowers and velvet
held up the brim. On the right was a
full twist of velvet with a paradise ai
grette. Black and white appears with fresh
effect In millinery, and there is a sud
den craze for black velvet hats weight
ed with white plumes. Such hats are
bound alout with wide white ribbon
half hidden by another binding of
black, the two ribbons making a pair
of stiff upright lx)ws. As a finishing
t('U':3llihe'-A are CHeh pins of contrast
ing i'olor. These bats are too showy
for the best dresses that most of us
have, but we can do the black but with
out the white safely enough. The
shape our black bat's crown will take
la shown In the fourth sketch. -This
hat was trimmed with a puffing of
heliotrope nround the crown, loops and
flowers of the same shade being put
In here and there among the tiny os
trich tips that lay around the brim.
Heliotrope flowers held up the brim

behind, and two black wings were put
In back.
Utiles are hard to trace Iu the small
hats, as wnw indicated by a foregoing
remark to the effect that many tiny hats
look as If thrown together, but never
theless many of the wee bits of liead
wear are very attractive. Here Is one,
In the concluding Illustration, having
a black velvet crown and a fancy brim
of bhu-k and lettuce green chenille. The
trimming consisted of black silk roses,
knots and bows of mom green velvet
and black pnrndle aigrettes. One rule
that has rather geueral application In
small hats Is that the wide and flat
effect prevails, but always relieved by
an uplift of feather, quills or wings.
While tbe ever-popular round hat with
the closely rolled and mathematical
brim Is still otTcred, the toques that at
tract by novelty are Irregular In sha)e.
Many tiny hats with a bit of narrow
brim have a ruffle of velvet set under
the brim, the result being nn effect of
velvet rather than of the unbroken
round of that hat's own brim.

Fifth Mlnneaota at Corinth.
The St. Paul Press of Saturday, Nov.
2, 1862, print a letter dated Corinth,
Miss., Oct. 23, 1802. It Is signed "J.
Ireland, Chaplain," and gives an ac
count of the part the Kiftli Minnesota
took in the battle of Corinth. The fol
lowing are extracts:
"You hav, already learnt that the
Fifth took a large rt In tbe late tight
wherein victory shone so brilliantly on
the illustrious 'Stars and StrijH-s. You
have learnt It. Miuneoui has rejoiced
that her sons were called upon to wield
the sword and shed freely their blood
lu defense of the priceless institution
bequeathed to us by our forefathers,
aud well mav Minnesota rejoice. What
is pleasing to state Is that not only our
regiment took an active part in this
Important engagement, but that it took
a special part which no other regiment
did take, and that of the Fifth It may
be said, without any exaggeration
whatever, they gained the day.
"On the night of the 3d we quietly
took our rest lu one of the central
squares of Corinth on a line parallel
with the Mobile and Columbus rail
road. There we remained while the
shells were bursting over our heads
before daybreak on the morning of the
4th. From there we were at full lib
erty to contemplate the tight going on
In our center and on the extreme part
of our right, there being but an exten
sive alwtls between us and these por
tions of our lines.
"We were all in ecstasy, seeing the
relx'ls charging on Fort Kohinette, hur
rying through the woods at, the right,
following tij) with a firm step the road
leading from the edge of the wood to
ward the fort and then under the gall
ing tire of on Infantry which outflank
ed them, in spite of all the terrible dis-
chargi of canister and grape which
thinned their ranks to a frightful ex
tent, leaping over the parapets or trybig
to turn around to iiud the entrances) to
the fort. There we were breathless,
fearing lent they might triumph. Some
what encouraged on seeing the Kiev
enth Missouri rushing to the rescue, un
mindful of the bloody right going on iu
the center of our right, which was con
cen led from our sight by numerous
buildings when suddenly a strange
commotion arists behind us. We turn
around, and great is our surprise. At
the lower end of the square the artil
lery are skedaddling with an 'astound
ing rapidity; the infantry rush in
through every inlet; the citizens and
all idle gazers-on disappear in a sec
ond; the Butternut emerge from the
streets leading Into the square. It was
a solemn moment; then Indeed, as one
of our general remarks, the fate of the
day hung In the balance, and little time
was left for reflection. What were we
able to do? Were we to Join in, allow
ourselves to be carried off by the tor
rent, and tutu Ingloriously our backs to
the enemy? For any not prodigal of
their blood in the performance of their
duty, such was the course to be taken.
But far from the minds of our brave
loy was the thought of assuring their
safety iu flight. Our men instinctively
rush to their arms; Col. Hubbard, with
the most remarkable presence of mind,
at one glance sees all the danger. Im
mediately his voice is heard amid all
the bustle and confusion; he gives his
orders to move and to take up a posi
tion at right angles with his former
one. and It is then that an aide-de-camp
of (leu. Stanley rode by and shouted
out, 'Support tit-:; Lattery tit the right.'
Perplexing order, for at that moment
of the two batteries that wen- stationed
to tlie right one was an :tb:indanod and
the. other was being driven from the
Held. Our colonel, not In the least dis
mayed, fronts hU men towards where
he perceives the enemy rushing into
the town. Oh, what an admirable spec
tacle to gaze then on our brave Iki.vs.
With what unanimity and with what
rapidity, what visible coolness and un
flinching courage, they poured In volley
after volley Into vhe ranks of their op
ponents. The latter, who doubtless a
few momenta before, elated by their
previous success, had thought that Co
rinlli was once more theirs, and had
emitted a contemptuous smile when a
handful of men proposal to contest
their passage, staggered, broke ranks
and turned. And hotly were they pur
sued through a narrow street until
they reached the limits of the town and
concealed themselves In the woods. Our
men then halted and wondered at what
they had accomplished. Had we not en
countered the rebels the town was In
their hands, and they might have de
stroyed It, together with all our stores,
or taken our other forces In the rear,
placing them between two fires and
triumphed and by whom was Corinth
saved but by the Fifth Minnesota alone,
by six companies, Company A having
been sent out Rklrmlshlng In another
direction.
"I am proud of the Fifth Regiment,
and everyone here fee Is proud of It.
Great is our renown In the army. Tbe
other regiment fully appreciate our
valor; our praise is on every tongue.
Privates and officers are of tbe same
sentiment when the Fifth Minnesota
is mentioned."
'(Jen. Stanley, In his official report,
si-aking of our regiment says: 'I nn
happy to bear testimony to tbe gallant
light of this little regiment. Few regi
ments on the field did more effectual
killing than they.' The morning after
the battle he rode by the Fifth, accom
panied by another officer. The latter,
having remarked that It to a small regi
ment, Stanley, with a smiling counte
nance, answered to my own hearing:
They may be small in numbers, but
they gained tbe day." And on another
o-cHRion, pointing us out to Gen. Kose
cranz. he said: 'Here is the regiment
that did the most killing.' "
Monument at Antietam.
The monument that is to be erected
on the battleground of Antietam will be
a strikingly handsome tribute to the
memory of the dead soldiers who fell
uiMn that famous field. It will occupy
the spot where fought the Massachu
setts men, aud the designs after which
It is to be constructed have been ap
proved by the Governor of Massachu
setts. It Is to be built of granite mined
In the Bay State. The monument
itself is to be twenty-one feet long and
fifteen feet high and will adorn the top
of a mound standing eight feet above
the surrounding grounds. Numbers of
the regiments that were engaged in the
tight will be placed upon bronze tablets
to the right and left. On the rear of the
centerpiece will be traced a map of the'
battlefield, with the location of each
regiment plainly mailed. The coat of
arms of Massachusetts will le worked
Into the center of the monument. The
design i very pretty and will appeal
to all lovers of art. Contracts for the
work will soon be let by the commission
and It is expected that it will be ready
for unvelillng some time next year.
The elte Is aptly chosen. It Is at the
fork of the two government roads near
the Nlcodemus house and the old Dun-'
ker church. The land secured for the
purpose is very near the main line of
battle. The mound on which the mon
ument will rest will be surrounded by
a brass railing.
A Story of Bravery.
An application has lieeu made for a
medal of honor for Orlando P. Boss, of
Fltehburg, late a corporal of Company
F, Twenty-fifth Regiment of Maw
chttsetts Volunteers. This is the regi
ment first commnuded by Colonel Ed
win Upton, of Fitchburg. and then by
(J-eueral Josiah Pickett, of Worcester.
Corporal Boss was but 18 years old
when he enlisted, and was discharged
by reason of expiration of term of ser
vice. Boss was with the regime'nt, par
ticipated in the battle of Cold Ilarlwr,
June 3, 1N04, where the brave act on
the strength of which this application
is made was performed. During the
battle Boss, with rrivat.es Asahel Aid
rich and William E. Battles of Com
pany F were in a rllle pit half way be
tween his brigade and the enemy. The
Union troops were behind a breast
work from which the enemy had been
driven, and the enemy from less than
KM) yards awny kept up a tremendous
tire. A number had leen shot endeav
oring to return over the breastwork to
get back Into tho lines. The call of a
wounded man attracted the attention
of the party In the rifle pit, and they
discovered Lieutenant W. F. Daley of
Company K of the Twenty-fifth badly
wounded. He was lying on the ground
some lifteeu paces in front of the
breast-work and directly in line of fire.
Boss crawled back and threw his can
teen to the wounded man, who was
crying tor water, and 'then taking Aid
rich, who was wounded, on his shoul
ders, crept through the enemy's fire
and over the breastwork. Ho was de
termined to rescue the unfortunate
lieutenant if possible, and with Privates
W. I). Blanchard, A. F. Btirtlott and
W. O. Wilder now Councilman Wil
der of Worcester preiMii-ed to make
the attempt. While the otjiors began
to undermine the breast-work from
within, Boss and Blanchard crept back
over the works and up to where Lieu
tenant Daley lay. The enemy observed
their motions and directed their Are
uiKin tbe daring men, but by lying low
and digging a. small trench they es
caped Injury. They got Daley upon a ,
blanket and dragged him back to the
breastwork. There ihey also began to
dig and finally met tholr friends from
within, and bore their wounded officer
through the bole to tho lines. He was.
mortally wounded, however, and sub
sequently died in the hospital. It waa
at the same battle that the regimental
colors were nearly loRt through the
death of the color-bearer. They were
rescued by David Casey of Company C,
now of W'hlrlnsvtlle. Worcester Go.
