The advantages Of a park in the heart of
our city are greatly increased because VIC
are in a prairie region. The forests in the
bottoms near the city are upon damp and low
ground and not dry and exposed to the
breezes as a park would be. There is uni
versal desire Of citizens of all ages and
classes 10 reach such groves and shady re-
treats as are offered at points even remote
from the city, or such limited parks as pri-
vate enterprise has supplied carer town.
There must always be some special iniuce.

they are always expensive, and often some
features are not approved by many. Special
excursions Of the kind are nearly always
class affairs; and, at best, the poor have no
lot in them. The work should begin early
that the beauty may be added yearly by
nature. Nerysoon 1t would become a delight.
Hundreds of people and children could, af
ternoon or evening, seek the fresh air freely
in q place they were authorized to Use.
The open park, with seats and shade and
flowers, will bring to many not only enjoy
ment but the blessing of health as we'll, and
lead all toward innocent pleasure without
otlense to any kind.

Washington, July 17.-Wilson King,
United States consul at Bremen, in a report
to the department Of state on the condition
of labor and trade in his consular district,
gives the following among other statistics Of
wages current there:
Agricultural laborers, per week, IL marks
"a mark being equal to "a cents; shoe
makers, 10 to Is marks; tailors, 20 to 25
marks; blacksmitbs, 10 to - marks; car.
penters and masons, Is to 20 marks; join
ers, 10 to IL marks; and laborers on public
works and railways, 9 to Is marks. The
cost of living for unmarried men is about 8
marksa week; families of FIVE persons from
Is to Is marks. To make life at these
rates possible, the women work in their gar.
dens and in the fields. In towns they keep
small shops, peddle fish or .ruit, knit and
sew. Wages are less, the cost of living
being about the same now as IN 1873. Trade
is very dull, and failures Of small traders
are Of daily occurrence. Real estate has
deprecated so per cent. since 1879, under
