LABOR AND SUBSISTENCE.
IMPORTANT STATISTICS

A supplement to the fourth annual report
Of the Special Commissioner OF the revenue
contains interesting and valuable tables,
showing the compar Tive and average
weekly wages paid in the several States and
sections for factory labor in the year 1867
and 1869 ) and for ordinary mechanical and
agricultural or farm labor in the years 1861
and 1863; the cost Of provisions, groceries;
dry goods, house rent in the various manu-
featuring districts Of the country in the years
1867 and 1869; and the comparative cost
Of building materials and labor in the years
1861 and 1862" The tables were pre-
pared by Mr.. Edward Young. He first
shows an average decrease Of the rates ot
wages paid in cotton mills in the United
States, comparing the years 1867 and 1869,
Of four per cent. In spite Of this decline,
hewever, it appears that the weekly earnings
Of operatives in American cotton mills,
omitting overseers, was 1856, gold, in
1869, while in Great Britain the same year
the average was but $3.50. The second
table shows about the same rate of decrease
in the average wages paid to persons In the
United States 1892 per cent. }, but at The
same time wages advanced 26:35 per cent
(gold) beyond what were paid in England
in 1867, was 50 per cent. The document
does not continue to give general averages
Of industries, in default Of which we select
some Of the rates paid to labor Of different
grades in the same manufacture. In the
iron foundries and machine shops Of New
England-weekly wages are averaged as fol
loyys.

To CLEAN Gilt JEwELRY.-Take half
pint Of boiling water, or little less, and
put it into clean oil flask To this add
one ounce Of cyanide Of potassium, shake
the flask, the cyanide will dissolve. When
the liquid is cold, add half fluid ounce Of

To HARDEN A POKER.-The Ere poker.

STEAMBOAT RACING.--Thero has
been a famous steamboat race on the
Mississippi River. The Robert E. Lee
made the trip from New Orleans to St.
Louis in three days, eighteen hours, and
fourteen minutes, thus beating her an
tagonist, the Matches, by three hours
and fortyfour minutes, and beating the
best time previously made by four
hours and fifty-fve minutes. Tele-
grams tell how thousands fiocked from
the interior to the river banks to see
the racers pass, and state that million
dollars probably changed hands on the
result. II is, Of course, desirable that
steamers should be made u 20 fast,
and, of course, their speed must be
tested but the recklessness shown in
most Of these races is frequently more
dangerous to live and property, than
their results are advantageous to any
body.
