Wages in Europe.


Sixty cents day is considered good
wages for a working man in any Of the
European countries, except Great Brit
ain, where the wages are somewhat
higher. In the Tyrol silk region and
in Italy they often do not get more than
ten cents. In the country in Germany
ten cents is the common pay. Women
there often get but five cents. In Swe-
den, men often work from four O'Clock
in the morning till nine in the evening,
and do not get any more. During the
war many poor women in Berlin were
hired to knit stockings for the soldiers
for five cents. The profits of the poor
who keep petty shops, sell trinkets in
the street or act as suffers, do not aver
age more than three or four per cent.
BARRIERS in Berlin, since the raising of
their prices, get five cents for hair cut
ting and two and half cents for shaw
ing. Servants at hotels get from three
to eight dollars month. Servants girls
in private families often get but ten
dollars year. Sometimes these classes
cannot get work at any price.

The Old Kentucky School-House and
School Master.

Every boy who has read Flint's Life
of Daniel Boone remembers the log
school-house in which that famous hun
ter of Kentucky, under the instruction
of a whisky-loving Hibernian, pursued
his studies in "the three RS, readin',
'ritin' and 'rithmetic, " for the few weeks
which embraced the entire period of
Daniels literary career. The clap
board roof held down by weight-poles,
the puncheon floor, the window made
by saving out a portion of log in the
wall, and covering the opening with
white paper, which let in " a dim" but
not religious light" the huge fire.

away, the high benches, made of slabs
perched on long wooden pins, at won

little culprits were required to stand
for an hour or so with their fingers in

the ignominy of putting on a sun-bon-
net and sitting with the girls, were IN
those days of bear-hunts and Indian
warfare the principal portion of school
house furniture. The profession of a
"school-master, as the teacher was
styled, was at rare intervals adorned by
men of strong mind and culture, like
DIR. Marshal and few others, but was
generally followed in the back-woods
settlements by drinking tramps of the
Bohemian order, like Boon's preceptor,
whose Saturday might sprees were not
thought to be inconsistent with theil
position, or else by such eccentric spe
eimens as Washington Irving's Ichabod

Rival Stage Lines.

In Utah territory there were two ri
val stage lines, one run by a man named
Smith, and another run by man
named johnson. The competition was
so great that at last both lines carried
peopls for nothing, and gave them pre-
miums besides. Smith offered free
rides and barlow knife TO each pas
senger. johnson offered boiled shirt.
Smith saw that, and went one better by
giving a pound of bologna sausage, and
distributed gold-headed canes and cop
les of Watts hymns. Smith rallied,
and offered all of Johnson's premiums
with a litter of pups and a bunch of
tooth-picks to each man. But johnson
took all the travel by paying the old
debts of each passenger and deciding
him a cemetery lot. Smith turned the
tide immediately in his direction by
giving each fellow pair of mules, a
church pew, and fifteen hundred shares
of stock in the Pacific railroad. Then
johnson determined upon his master
stroke. He vent to Brigham Young
and got special dispensation, and then
he offered to marry sll the women who
rode in his stages, to take all the men
into partnership, and to give gum rings
to all the babies. Smith was broken
up, and had to sell out and abandon the
business. johnson now has one thou
sand four hundred and twenty-six
wives. one thousand five hundred part
ners. aud he is indebted to an India
rubber man six for bushels Of yum
rings. But he killed Smith, and he is
now happy.

Experience with a Coal Stove.

We never had a coal stove around the
house until last Saturday. Have al
ways burned pine slabs and pieces of
our neighbours fence. They bum well,
too, but the fence got all burned up,
and the neighbor said he wouldn't build
a new one, SO we went down to Jones
and got a coal stove. It is called the
Radiant Home" and any man that
says We didn't have q radiant home at
our house for about four hours last
Saturday night, is a liar and a villain.
You see we didn't know anything about
coal stoves. We filed the Radiant
Home about half full of pine fence, and
when the stuff got well to going we
filled the artesian well on top with coal.
1t simmered and sputtered about five
or ten minutes and all went out, and
we put on an overcoat and a pair OF
buekskin mittens and ''went out" too,
to supper. We remarked, in the course
of the frugal meal, that Jones was
s'froad" for recommending such con-
founded refrigerator to a man to get
warm by. After supper we took
piece of ice and rubbed our hands warm,
and went In where that stove was, re-
solved to make her draw and burn If it
took all the pine fence in the first ward.
Our better half threw quilt over her
and shiveringly remarked that she new
er knew what real solid comfort was
until she got a coal stove. Stung by
the sarcasm in her remark, we turned
every dingus in the stove that was NOV
able, or looked like it had anything to
do with draft, and pretty soon the
Radiant Home began to heave up heat.
It was not long before she sputtered like
a new Silsby steamer. Talk about your
heati In ten minutes that room was as
much worse than a Turkish bath, as
hades is hotter than Liverman's ice
house. The perspiration fairly fried
out of tin water-cooler in the next
room. We opened the doors, and the
snow began to melt as far up Vine street
as Hanscome's house, and people all
round the neighborhood put on linen
clothes. And we couldn't stop the con-
founded thing. We forgot what Jones
told us about the hampers, and she just
kept abiding. The only thing we could
do was to go to bed, and leave the
thing to burn the house up if it wanted
to. We stood off with pole, and turned
the hampers every way, and at every
turn she just sent out heat enough to
roast an OK. We went to bed suppos-
ing that the coal would eventually burn
out, but about twelve o'clock the whole
family had to get up and sit out on the
fence. Finally a man came along who
had been brought up among coal stoves,
and he put wet blanket over him, and
crept up to the stove and turned the
proper dingus, and she cooled of, and
since that time has been just as comfort
able as possible. If you buy coal
stove you want to learn how to engineer
it, or you may get roasted.-La Crosse
Democrat.

The Uses of Ammonia.

No housekeeper should be without
liberal supply Of spirits of ammo
MIA, for, besides its medical value, it is
inYaluab, e for household purposes. It
is nearly as useful as soap, and its
cheapness brings it within the reach of
all. Put teaspoonful of ammonia to
a quart of warm soapsuds, dip in a fan
mel cloth, and wipe of the dust and fly
specks, CRIME and smoke, and see for
yourselves how much labor it will save.
No scrubbing will be needful. It will
cleanse and brighten silver wonderfully;
to pint of hot suds mix teaspoonful
of spirits, dip IN your silver spoons,
forks, &C., rub with brush, and then
polish on chamois skin. For washing
mirrors and windows it Is very desira-
BILE; put few drops of ammonia upon
a piece of newspaper and you will read
lily take off every spot or finger-mark
on the glass. 1t will take out grease
spots from every fabric; put on the am
monia nearly clear, lay plotting paper
over the place and press a fat-iron on it
for a few moments. A few drops of wa
ter viii clean laces and whiten them as
well also muslins. Then it is a most
refreshing agent at the toilet table; a
few drops in basin of water viii make
a better bath than pure w~ter, and if
the skin is oily it will remove all gloss
mess and disagreeable odors added to
foot-bath it entirely absorbs all nox-
ious smells so often arising from the
feet in warm weather, and nothing is
better for cleaning the hair from dan
druff and dust. Fer clearing hair and
nail brushes it is equally good. Put a
teaspoonful of ammonia into one pint
of warm or cold water, and shake the
brushes through the water when the
brushes look white rinse them in cold
water, and put them in the sunshine, or
in warm place to dry. The diItiest
brushes will come out of this bath white
and clean. For medical purposes am
monia is almost unrivaled. For the
| headache it is desirable stimulant, and
frequent inhaling of its pungent odors
will often entirely remove catarrhal
cold. There is no better remedy for
heartburn and dyspepsia, and the arc
matic spirits of ammonia is especially
prepared for these troubles. Ten drops
of it in a wine-glass Of water are often
o great relief. The spirits of ammonia
can be taken in the same way, but it is
not as palatable. In addition to all
these uses, the effects of ammonia on
vegetation are beneficial. If you desire
roses, geraniums, fuschias, etc, to be
come more fourishing, you can try il
upon them by adding five or six drops
of it to every pint of warm water that
you give them; but don't repeat the
dose oftener than once in every five OF
six days, lest you stimulate them toe
highly. Rain water is impregnated
with ammonia, and thus it refreshes and
WHITES vegetable life. So be sure and
keep large bottle of it in the house,
and have a glass stopper for it, as it is
very evanescent and also injurious tc
corks, eating them away.

''Superfciality is eminently Japanese

possession of them that they know

The WINTER BoNNErs. AS velvet
bonnets appear on the street, it is evil
dent that the directoire shape is des-
tined TO favor. This is n broad, medium
low crown, with upturned coronet, far
ing moro or less, as fancy dictates, and
sloping downward behind. The black
velvet directoire bonnets are especially
handsome. The crown and brim are
smoothly covered, and piping of soft
silk edges the brim puff or twist,
partly velvet, partly silk, is under the
brim rs face trimming; ruche of
ostrich feathers is placed on the coronet;
three upright loops of velvet are on the
left side of the brin, holding it close to
the crown; two deni-plumes spring
from the loop over the back, and an or
nament of glittering cut steel is put in
the loops. Black strings tie the bonnet
under the chin, and, unless, a single
deep crimson rose is added behind, the
bonnet il left entirely black. Ladies
with blonde hair find these all-blaok
bonnets especially becoming. Other
bopnets with the directoire ooronet
have soft cap crowns of silk, with the
ornaments placed in front of the velvet
coroneh This is prettily exsmplified in
q steei-cOlored bonnet 20 ba worn with
n suit OF silk of the same color, trimmed
with velvet. This bonnet has also a
huted velvet band turned up behind
against the crown, and single droop-
ing rose. The feather ruches, or ostrich
feather bands, as we have called them
hitherto, are very stylish trimmings.
Very little lace is used, this season,
and there is fancy for using fine steel
instead Of jet on black bonnets. A sin
gle steel ornament is tasteful, but a
profusion of small steel buckles and
fringe in a bonnet is tawdry-looking.
Some very elegant French bonnets copy
the styles of the first empire, and have
u projecting scoop front, and brim
turned up on the left side. Flowers do
not appear on all bonnets, but feathers

cents there are single width merinos of
fair quality that make up charmingly
in ash gray or leaf brown with scolloped
edge bound in silk, of the same color,
and silk velvet vest. Merinos at S1.75 to

are acceptable dresses, but for suits
preference is shown to goods of cOarser
finish. Fine waterproof in'gray, blue,
or brown, and ladies, cloth of heavier
texture than common are made into po-
lonaises andredingotes with or without
skirts of the same. Dark blue twilled
flannel from Washington mills at 81 to
common goods at fifty cents is in re-
quest for over-dresses. Common ladies,
cloth and flannel of the darkest inky
gray make stylish polonaises to wear

Wood and Straw Paper Making in
France.

The improved processes of making
paper from wood, straw, and various
grasses, as praeticed in France, now
enables them to recover eighty-fve per
cent. of the caustic alkah used in the
reduction of the raw material into
pulp. This is a very important econo-
my. In order to convert wood into
pulp, a strong solution of the alkali is
necessary. One pound of carbonate of
soda is required to produce four pounds
of pulp. By stepping the wood or straw
in the alkali solution, the resinous and
other gummy matters are separated
from the fbers of the materials, and be-
come mixed with the solution. To re-
gain the soda for reuse is now the
object of the manufacturer. This is
done by evaporating the water by heat,
then charring the resulting mass, which
yields carbonate of soda, then convert
ing the latter into caustic soda. The
evaporation is adected by passing the
products of combustion from the fire
which heats the alkaline solution
through the liquid which is to be evap-
GRATED. For this purpose the liquid is
thrown up in the form of thin spray,
by paddle wheels. Twelve and half
pounds of the solution, it is stated, are
evaporated for each pound of coal con
sumed. The carbonate of soda is then
subjected TO long continued washing in
| a peculiar apparatus until it is fit for
burning, and at last eighty-fve per cent.
of the original quantity of the alkali is
recovered. The former methods only
permitted the recovery of from fifty to
sixty per cent. of the aIkaIi.

CLOTHES AND THINGS.

A GERMAN IDEA.-Clothes, says n
German professor. have given individ-
uality, distinction, social policy.
Clothes have made men of us. All hui
man earthly interests are hooked up and

clothes.
THE MoRAIs OF CLoTHEs.-TheIe are
certain moralists in the world who
labor under the impression that it is no
matter what people wear, or how they
put on their apparel. Such people cover
themselves mp, they do not dress. No
one doubts that the mind is more i'm
portant than the body, the jewel than
the setting and yet the virtue of the
one and the brilliancy of the other are
enhanced by the mode in which they
are presented to the senses. Let the
woman have every virtue under the sun,
if she is slatternly, or even inappropri-
ate in her dress, her merits will be more
