The WOOI-GrOWerS.

At meeting of the Pennsylvania and
Ohio wool-growers, at Titusville, Pa,
last week, it was resolved that, in view of
the present unsatisfactory condition of
the wool market, to hold for an advance
and, at the same time appeal to ali
growers to continue with the Patrons of
Husbandry in the furtherance of their
interests. Meanwhile, an effort is to be
made to deal directly with the manufac-
turers, failing in which they will be COM
PEELED to abandon the wool-growing
business, and, in imitation of our fathers
of 80 yerrs ago, declare our independ
ence of those who are living from the
handling of our produce, to the end that
their difficulties may be righted. They
invite correspondence from both wool
growers and manufacturers in all parts
of the country. Any information will be
furnished by the associations Secretary,

OF persons engaged in administering

be seen that, in spite of English criti-

Adventure with a Shark.

Capt. Paul Boyton relates an adven-
ture he had with a shark while engaged
in diving for coral in the Gulf of Mex
leo: l was down on nasty rock bot
tom. 4 man never feels comfortable on
them he can't tell what big creature
may be hiding under the huge qnarter-
deck sea leaves which grow there. The
first part of the time / was visited by q
porcupine fish, which kept sticking its
quilts up and bobbing in front of my
helmet. Soon after / saw big shadow
fall across me, and looking up there was
an internal shark playing about my
tubing. 1t makes you feel chilly in the
back when they're about you. He came
down to me slick as l looked up. L
made at him and he sheared off. For an
hour he worked at it, till could stand
it no longer. If you can keep your head
level, its all right, and you're pretty
safe if they're not on you sharp. This
ugly brute was twenty feet long, should
think, for when lay down all my length
on the bottom he stretched a consider
able way ahead of me, and could see
him beyond my feet. Then L waited.
They must turn over TO bite, and my ly-
ing down bothered him. He swan over
three or four times, and then skulked off
to big thicket of seaweed to consider.
l knew he'd come back when he'd set
tied his mind. 1t seemed a long time
waiting for him. At last he came vicious
ly over me, but, like the time before, too
far from my arms. The next time 1 had
my chance, and ripped him with my
knife as neatly as I could. A shark al
ways remembers he's got business some
where else when he's cut, so off this fell
low goes. It is a curious thing, too,
that all the sharks about will follow, in
the trail he leaves. got on my hands
and knees, and as he swan off noticed
four dark shadows slip after him. 1 saw
no more that time. They did not like
my company.

Eat Meat for ConsnmntiYes.

A taste for fat meat is, unfortunately,
not universal among children, and when
it does show itself it is often-almost
acknowledgement by parents. This
taste is an expression of the wants of the
living system which we cannot disregard
with impunty. Without fats, the or
ganism cannot be built up in perfection.
Fats counteract the tendency to con-
sumption. Observation has established
the interesting fact that persons who in
early life show taste for fat meats sell
dom fall victims to that disease; and vice
versa, that consumptives have generally
shown an early repugnance to such food.
There can be no question as to the lesson
taught by the fact-that when the appe-
tite exists it ought to be indulged, and
that, if possible, it ought, when wanting,
to be created by tonics and abundant ex-
ercise in the open air.

CLASS.

1t will be observed that the number of
professional people in England is twice
that of the United States that this is
the greater agricultural country by 100
per cent, and that England is the
greater mechanical, mining and manu-
featuring country by 200 per cent. In
the proportion of persons supported by
agriculture France is much more like
the United States than like England and
Wales. The proportion of the popula-
ton engaged in agriculture in the sew
eral European States is said to be as fol
lows Russia, sc per cent; Italy, II !;
Sweden, II Belgium, 81 France, 80 !;
Prussia, As; Austria, 20 Spain, % /;
Holland, 16. If the domestic and in
definite population of England and
Wales is distributed among those en-
gagged in agriculture in the same proper
ton as in other occupations, it will give
about 20 per cent. of their population as
dependent upon agriculture.
A noteworthy feature of the British
census of 1871 is that the proportion of
persons employed in agriculture in En-
gland and Wales, as TO the general popu-
lation, has gradually declined since 1851,
the ratios being: 1851, 1911 1861,
9.27 1871, 7.30.
Some figures comparing the social con-
dition of several countries are extremely
interesting and curious. For example,

sistants to the whole population in these

Q87D, showing the comparative intel
lectual, social and industrial condition
of the people of the two countries.
Though it is more than four years since
the date of the British census, it is only
within few months that the official re-
turns relating TO occupations have been
accessible on this side of the water. The
schedules of occupations have been diff
ferently framed by the Census Super
visors OF the two countries, and COM
PARSONS in some instances are impos-
sible, but in others they are and may be
taken advantage of by the statistician. 1t
may be remarked generally that the
British schedule is more systematically
and minutely digested than the Ameri-
can, and that the census returns have
been more closely collected. From the
article referred to, which is somewhat
elaborate, the following summary of the
salient points is prefaced.
All occupations in England and Wales
are reduced to six grand divisions, as
follows:
