THE Eureka Leader of the 26 tn gives the
1 Following account of a painful accident
T. Mr., Jno. 0. Jones, chief engineer at the
] Richmond furnaces, went down into the well
this morning with an assistant to make some
repairs about the pump. After setting them
ito rights, as he supposed, he told the assistant
TO go up to the surface and tell the fireman to
start the pump, and this was done, Mr. Jones
remaining to see how the pump worked He
watched it working very well for few minutes,
when suddenly it burst, throwing lot of scald-
ing steam and water upon him. He reached
the surface and was taken home, and Dr.
Nesbitt was called in to examine and attend
his injuries. The doctor says that his back
from his neck to his posterior is badly scalded
The unfortunate man suffers great deal, but
the doctor does not think that the in jures will
prove fatal, unless from excessive agony the
nervous system becomes entirely worn out. |

One Eye That is Always Drunk.

An Allegheny physician, who, in his
way, is II great wag, tells II story of II
North Side gentleman who for years has
suffered from periodical attacks of what
i'm medical parlance is known as super
orbital neuralgia. Quinine proved of no
effect, and the sufferer was almost craz-
ed with pain. A kind-hearted old lady
living in the neighborhood of the patient
informed him that if he would cut the
affected nerve with pair of scissors or
II knife it would give him no further
trouble. 1t so happened that the super
orhital nerve is the one which controls
the action of the eye-lid, and it further
happens that when man is in liquor this
nerve becomes paralyzed, and it is this
that gives drunken person such COM
ical expression about the eyes. The
neuralgia patient no sooner heard what
he supposed the welcome news from the
old lady than he repaired to his closet
and with II jack-knife parted in twain the
offending nerve, and he now greets his
friends with his right eye as sober rs II
Quaker in II quarterly meeting, and the
left in a highly intoxicated condition.
1t now only costs half us much rs it for
merly did to go on II bender.-PttS6srg

Electricity in Morning Glories.

Last evening a gentleman of this city
accidentally made a most singular dis
covery respecting the electrical influence
of the ordinary morning-glory vines.
Seated near the lattice work over which
the vine was trained, his attention was
attracted to single little branch tipped
with growing line extending straight
cut from the rest, and speculated within
himself whether the tiny hairs with
which the stem was clothed were not
placed there for the purpose of conduct
ing the electric fluid of the atmosphere
to the plant. In order to continue his
investi CATION, he approached his finger
within half an inch of it, and was
amazed to observe a slight-almost inn
perceptible, yet unmistakable-moti
of the stem. As he pushed his finger Il
little nearer, the stem trembled very visi-
bly,, and was seemingly attracted and
repealed from him. The hairs which he
noticed before did not move, but re-
mained erect. There was no wind ut
the time, and the motion was purely IN
induced one. After this interesting eX-
pertinent he placed the end of his finger
within short distance of the growing
bud, and slowly moved it in a circular
direction. The stem followed the mo-
ton until it was bent in the shape of
letter c., and, when the finger was with
drawn, instantly regained its former
straight position. This last experiment
was witnessed by several persons, all of
whom tried it, with varying success

Statistics Of Labor.

Commissioner Le Due is collecting
statistics for his next annual report concern
ing the rate of wages and the cost Of living
among farm laborers throughout the United
States. Within the last year he has ascer-
tanned the cost of living and the average rate
of wages paid have decreased about 10 per
cent. in all parts of the country, with the
exception, perhaps, of Minnesota, Colora-
do, California, Oregon and Washington Ter
ritory. In Colorado and New Mexico there
has been an increase in the rate OF wages
paid, and a corresponding increase In the
cost of living, owing to the demand for Ia
Dor resulting from the large mining opera
tions that have developed within the last IL
months. In Minnesota, and in the other
States and Territories named, the rates OF
wages paid and the expense of living is about
the same rs it was year ago.
In New England the average pay of farm
laborers, without board, is 5 20.3l per month,
against s -. go 4 year ago; decline OF about
10 per cent. The average cost of hiring has
fallen from $9.13, year ago, to $S.O2, a
decline of more than 13 per cent.
In New York, New Jersey and Pennsyl-
vania, the prices paid for farm labor have
fallen "a per cent. while the cost OF living
has fallen 10 per cent.
In Virginia, Maryland, North and South
Carolina and Georgia labor is reduced about
ID per cent. and subsistence 16 per cent.
In Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and
Texas the decline in wages has been about
per cent. and the cost of living about per
cent.
In Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and
Wisconsin the average rate of wages paid 10
farm hands is $20.9O, while west OF tne Mis- MIS-
sissippi the average is raised to $23.Sl. The
price of labor and the cost of living have not
materially changed within the last year-the
great reduction having taken place in 1877.

The total amount of steel and iron
produced annually in the world, accord
ing to the report of Commissioner Nor
rell to the Paris Exposition, is, of iron,

produced by Great Britain, 1867 per
cent. by the United States, 1916 per
cent by Germany, 1926 per cent. by
France, per cent. by Belgium. Aus
tria and Hungary furnish each about }
per cent, and all other countries 4 per
cent. Steel is produced by England
about 40 per cent. of the whole; the
United States furnishes 26 1-2 per cent. !;
Germany IS II per cent; France 10
per cent, and 3 81 per cent. by all
