The Department of State at Wash
ington has received from the United
States Consul at Barmen a very full
report on labor and wages in his dis
trict. For agricultural labor the pay
varies greatly, according to the proX-
unity to or remoteness from manufac-
turing centers; and ranges from fifty
six cents day in the neighborhood of
Barmen to thirty-one cents a day in
the lower Rhine valley, and as low as
eighteen cents in parts of Silesia.
At Barmen, Crefeld and Dusseldorf,
carpenters, coppersmiths, plumbers,
machinists and wagonsmiths earn fifty
one to seventy-five cents daily; saddlers
and shoemakers forty-seven to fifty-two
cents daily; bakers and brewers, with
board and lodging, from S1.42 to S214
weekly, and without board, from sixty
cents day to S4.2S week; farm hands
are paid from S107 to S215 yearly, with
maintenance; railroad labOrers from
fifty-siX to eighty-three cents per day,
and as high as ninety-1ive cents daily for
piece work on tunnels; silk weaverS
can earn 50. 10 to S2.S5 n week per
loom; factory women S2.15, and child
rem 81 a week. Business and wages
are very low. In good times, wages
are 80 per centum higher. The cost
of the necessarieS of life has in
creased some so per centum in thir-
teen years, although it is now but little
higher than five years ago. A man and
wife with two or three children can
live in two or three rooms in poor
and comfortless manner for S275 a
year, and to support such an establish
ment all the members have to work ten
or twelve hours daily. For family of
six persons the cost is about 81 per
week-an amount but few families can
earn, as the depression of trade and the
reduction of time allow few to do full
weeks work, although wages are NOM
inally a trifie higher than five years
ago. The state of trade is deplorable.
Factories are run and sales made at a
loss, except perhaps the silk and but
ton industries. Retail trade is some
what more prosperous.

The West, which has made many dis
coveries that have been adopted by
other parts of the country, has of late
been finding a new use for newspapers.
In many schools in Illinois, Iowa and
elsewhere, teachers hear reading les
sons from newspapers instead of using
the selections of miscellaneous litera-
ture which are found in school reading
books. The advantage of this is that
the pupils, while gathering accuracy
and tluency as readers, obtain knowl-
edge of the affairs of the day which
they would obtain in no other way, and
thus learn to take an interest in sub
iects which, in their later years, will
practically engage their attention as
business men and women. 1t has often
been remarked that our college gradu-
ates know much more aboutsthe history
of Rome and Greece than they do about
the history of their own country-at
least from the administration of Wash
ington down to that of Buchanan. One
reason of this has been the absence of
any work giving a concise and con-
nected history of the United States
during that time. We might go step
further and say that the greater num-
Der of pupils in our schools know much
more about the times treated of in their
school histories than they do about the
really serious questions of their own
day. Occasionally there is a parent
who makes his children interested in
contemporary history, but most chill
dren are allowed to look on the news
columns of newspapers as devoid of en-
tertainment to them if not beyond their
comprehension. They therefore have,
for instance, only the vaguest knowl-
edge of such war as has Just been
fought between Turkey and Russia, or
of such diplomatic contest as has Just
taken place in Berlin. But the plea of
no text book will not hold good in such
cases so long as newspapers maintain
their present enterprise; and any
teacher who hears his pupils reading
lessons out of a good newspaper. sup
plementing them with necessary eX-
plantations, can give those pupils infor-
nation which will cost them little study
and will be of invaluable advantage to
them all their lives.-N Y Post.

Bear Hunting in Russia.

The following singular means of
capturing or killing the bear is said to
be frequently practiced by Russian
peasants who cannot easily procure
firearms. AS is well known, the bear
has a fondness for honey, and will track
his way great distance to where the
wild bees have filled some hollow trees.
Their sting cannot hurt him, and they
and their stores are entirely at his
mercy. In a forest known to contain
bears, the hunters examine all the hol-
low trees till they discover a wild bee
hive. A branch of the tree is then
chosen. directly above the hole; if there
is no such a stout peg is driven into the
trunk. To this peg a strong cord is
fastened, and to the end of the cord Il
heavy stone or cannon-ball is suspended
at about half foot from the ground.
The bear in his researches comes upon
the treasures of honey. The pendulous
barrier obstructs and incommodes him
a good deal. He is an irritable brute
in such cases one of the most irritable
as well as stupid in the forest. He be-
gins by showing the weight or stone one
side; but it presses against his head,
and he gives it a slight knock to free
himself from the inconvenience. 1t re-
coils moment, and he receives smart
tap on the ear. His temper is reused.
and he again pushes off the hard and
heavy mass, but more violently; he gets
rather heavy blow on the side of his
skull on its return. He becomes furious,

European Agriculture.

1t will doubtless be surprise to the
agricultural readers of the american
to be told that in our recent journey
through Southern France, the entire
circuit of Italy, through a considerable
portion of Austria and Germany,
through Belgium and Northern France,
the distance being nearly five thousand
miles, the largest portion of laborers
in the field was women. They were
not only making hay, but blowing,
moving, hoeing, grubbing and plant
ing. They were not only doing the
work of men, but such work as men
usually depend on horses to perform.
In all the vast country we did not see a
horse-rake, cultivator, or any labor
saving implement. The only cultiva-
tor was the primitive hoe, and a line
of women, mostly superintendent by
one or two men, bent their backs to the
labor. The only plows looked as if
they might have been modelled after
the implements which Noah landed
from the ark. We did see one thresh-
ing machine standing on car at a
depot in Austria, which was the only
labor-saving machine that attracted
our attention. But even in Italy, with
the exception of the Roman Campagna,
the culture was fine, and the crops
most promising of a rich harvest.
Every inch of ground was made to
yield to the utmost, and wheat, corn,
grapes and fruit all bore evidence OF
skillful cultivation. In some portions
of Italy the labor of the field appeared
like perfection, the rocky lodges being
cultivated wherever there was earth to
hold the vine or the grain. In Austria
we noticed fences made of the stone
taken off an acre lot, five feet high and
six to ten feet in width Wherever the
earth could be got at the stones were

and with a powerful jerk sends the rock
swinging away. The pendulum can
not be the first to tire of this game; and
it is a game in which the blows are felt
on one side exclusively. The bear
alone suffers, and the point is that he
suffers as much by the blows he gives
as by those he gets. He takes double
punishment. His very retaliations are
all against himself; and for every furi-
Gus push which makes his skull ache he
receives an immediate equivalent which
makes it ache again. AT last his rage
is unbounded he hugs the block; he
strikes it; he bites it; but whenever he
would tlssdst his head into the hive,
back on his ear falls the obstruction,
against which his terrible hug or the
blows of his paws are of no avail. The
brute is maddened. He faces his strange
and pertinacious tormentor, and once
more makes it rebound from his skull.
But back again it swings like a curse,
which returns upon the head from
which it started. The bear falls ex-
hausted under these reiterated blows,
one more violent than another; and, if
he be not dead, the hunters, who have
watched the contest from their hiding
place, soon dispatch him.

The Bush-Scythe in the Pastures.

1t is not alone by the roadside that
the bush-scythe may be swung to ad-
vantage. Let the men get over the fence;
not that most farmers will have the
roadsides cleaned up first, but whether
or no, there will unfortunately be a
fence to get over. | heartily wish there
were no fences, nor any need of them.
This, though written in May, will be
read in July, and that will be Just the
time when the bush-scythe will do the
most telling and killing service. From
the first, or better, the middle of June
to the first of August, the bushes may
be cut to death very easily. Earlier there
is so much of the stored vitality, which
enables plants to push such vigorous
growths in the spring, still left in the
roots and stumps, that they grow right
on after being cut down, with scarcely
diminished vigor; and later the ripen.
ing wood and fresh stores of pabulum
laid up for the next springs needs will
so far have increased that the cutting
will not be fatal. If we attack the enemy
when his provender is lowest, " between
hay and grass" victory will be pretty
sure to perch upon our scythes.

A Texas Farmers WilIfulness.

Because a Dallas County (TeXas)
farmer could not get fifty cents bushel
for his corn he drove his wagon on the
bridge and commenced pitching it into
the river. The local paper says some
one passing and learning the cause
asked him why he did not give the corn
to some poor family. "Look here,
stranger" said the irate farmer, 81
worked mighty hard to raise that corn,
and when | can't get fifty cents bushel
for it l will do as - please with it. :"
The stranger moved on, and the far
mer continued throwing his corn into
the river until he was approached by
an officer, who threatened to arrest
him for being crazy if he did not de-
sist. He drove off, doubly disguised

The Jewish Council at Milwaukee
has formally approved the union of all
Hebrew congregations under one or
ganization, an event long and greatly
desired by the Jews. The objects of
the union were declared to be the main
tenance of institutions for instruction
in Hebrew literature and theology, to
establish relations with other Jewish
organizations in different parts of the
world for the relief of the oppressed
Jews, and to promote the religious in
struction of the young. The union is
to meet once in two years.

What Voices Indicate.

There are light, quick surface voices
that involuntarily seem to utter the
saying: Il won't do to tie to-" The
mans words may assure you of his
strength of purpose and reliability, yet
his tone contradicts his speech.
Then there are low, deep, strong
voices where the words seem ground
out as if the man owed humanity a
grudge, and meant to pay it some day.
That mans opponent may tremble and
his friends may trust his strength of
purpose and ability to act.
There is the coarse, boisterous, die
tatorial tone, invariably adopted by
vulgar persons, who have not sufficient
cultivation to understand their own in
significance.
There is the incredulous tone, that is
full of a covert sheer, or secret "you
can't dupe me, SIR information.
Then there is a whining, beseeching
voice that says sycophant'' as plainly
as if it uttered the word. 1t cajoles and
tiatters you; its words say, Il love you;
| admire you; you are everything that
you should be-"
Then there is the tender, musical,
compassionate voice that sometimes
goes with sharp features and some
times with blunt features, but always
with genuine benevolence.
If you are full of affection and pre-
tenee your voice proclaims it.
If you are full of honest strength and
purpose your voice proclaims it.
If you are cold and calm and firm
and persistent, or tickle and foolish anC
deceptive, your voice will be equally
truth-telling.
You cannot change your voice from
a natural to an unnatural tone withou
its being known that YOU are so doing
