The coincidence of the annual meetng'Of the Illinois Consumers-leaguthis week, with . the approach of the holiday trade, signalizes one of the special aims of that organization, which is to lessen the hardships of that trade for cash children, clerks and delivery men, and for those engaged in manufacturing holiday goods. It is a singular fact that under the auspices of a Christian anniversary, multitudes of persons, and probably Hebrews and their children, in a large proportion, should toil until 9, 10 and 11 oclock at night in candy and notion factories and mercantile establishments. The league emphasizes its injunctions to shop early in the Christmas season, and early in the day, and in placing trade to bear in mind then and generally the practice of different stores respecting the employment of children, the hours and vacations of all employes, the provision and actual use of seats for the weary clerks, and the evening delivery of goods. The meeting also calls attention to the work of the National Consumers league, which was organized two years of four different ago by of The aim the national orleagues. ganization Is to go back of tbe labor conditions in the stores, to those in the factory and to promote Improvement there by creating a demand first by the shopper and so by the merchant for goods bearing the label guarantee-i"- r the labor conditions under which they were protected. The leagues fourfold standard "requires production (1) in full compliance with the regulations of the State factory law, (2) entirely , on. the premises not in tenement-house- s (3) without overtime, and (4) without the labor of children under 16 years of age.

Ah, how the pulse bounds at the courageous deeds of Etienne de Mar and his loyal little St. Queintain, the brave Felix Broux. The story moves with vim and dash, not to be resisted. It is a wonderfully strong and a readable story. The scene is principally in Paris, and the time is .during the uprising of the Leaguers and King's men. All the characters are full of life. They move, are human and the reader perforce moves with them. Even the villain comes in for a share of our admiration, and Mayenne, the leader of the Leaguers, commands at times our admiration and respect. Lorance is an ideal heroine. The entire narrative covers a period of only forty-fou- r hours. Every chapter is a escape. The book is receiving a wonderful recognition from the reading world. Miss Runkle is a Philadelphia girl. She is only 22 years old. There is a little story which I heard of her in Bos ton. When her brother entered Harvard she received duplicate notes of all the lectures taken by him. They were mailed to her each day. She had a duplicate set of all his and so far as practicable did the college work that her brother did. Duplicate sets of examination questions were sent her and she took the examinations in her own room. At length this rather singular condition of affair? became known to some of the Harvard professors, and becoming interested they offered to examine Miss Lunklop papers. The papers were extraordinary. She passed with honors. he virtually holds what might be called a proxy degree. A.
