The Oakland Tribune contains the
 following:
 While awaiting the overland train at Palisades, recently, Tony Pastor the wellknown snowman, had an op- pOrtunity of verifying "that for ways that are dark, and tricks that are vain, the hsathcn Chinee is peculiar" :" Strolling along the single street of Palisades, he observed through an open doorway, two Chinamcn engag- ed in game of draw-poker- Tony stopped 10 look on and John said "Comme lin and take hand; you play pokee?' "Well," said Tony, II don't usually play cards on Sunday i; but as this is an off day, I'll take a hand" and, buying some chips, he sat down with George Thatcher and John Morris, members of his con- pany, and the play began. For few hands all went smooth, until it came the Chinaman's deal. Morris got two pair, queens top. Tony and Thatcher passed out; Morris drew one cara and got another queen Gan accidenD. The Chinaman drew five, a pat hand; Chinaman bet dollar, Morris raised it five; John raised it back and Morris called; John laid down jack full, and ChinamaH said "d-" Result: Morris winner to the extent of S25. This started all the boys in the troupe, and they all took a hand, thinking they had a "bonanza." Result in twenty-five minutes: Chinaman s1OO ahead; boys all losers. The train was heard ap- preaching, and John said, with a bland smile: "Chinaman no good poker-player; deal queen by mistake Good-by theatre man; come again soon; sabbee ?"

Wages and Cost Of Living.

A Washington letter says. Agricultu-
raj Commissioner Le Due Is collecting
statistics concerning the rate of wages
and the cost Of living among farm Ia
borers throughout the United States.
Within the last year he has ascertaincd
the cost Of living and the average rate of
wages paid have decreased about fifteen
per cent. In all parts Of the country,
with the exception, perhaps. of Mime
sofa, Colorado. California. Oregon and
Washington Territory. In Colorado and
New Mexico there has been an increase
in the rate of wages paid. and corre-
spending increase in the cost Of living.
owing to the demand for labor resulting
from the large mining operations that
have developed within the last twelve
months. In Minnesota, and in the other
States and Territories named, the rate of
wages paid and the expense of living is
about the same as it was year ago.
In New England the average pay of
farm laborcrs without board Is 500
per month. against S2o 60 a year ago,
decline of about ten per cent. The aver
age cost of hiring has fallen from 80 l3 n
year ago. to - .02. n decline of more than
thirteen per cent.
In New York. New Jersey and Penn
sylvania, the prices paid for farm labor
have fallen 81 per cent. while the cost of
living has fallen ten per cent.
In Virginia, Maryland, North and
South Carolina and Georgia labor Il re-
duced about fifteen per cent. and the cost
Of living about sixteen per cent.
In Alabama, Mississippi. Louisiana
and Texas the decline in wages has been
about FIVE per cent. and the cost of liv-
ing about three per cent.
In Ohio, Indiana. Illinois, Michigan
and Wisconsin the average rate OF wages
paid TO farm hands Is 5000. while west
Of the Mississippi the averageis raised TO
s23. The price of labor and the cost
Of living have not materially changed
within the last year-the great reduction
having taken place In 1871.

Tortoise shell.

What Is called the tortoise shell Is not, as
Is generally supposed, the bony covering
or shield Of the turtle, but only the scales
which cover it. These are thirteen in
number; eight Of them fins. and FIVE
little curved. OF the fat ones four are
large. being sometimes one foot long and
seven inches wide. semi transparent, elc-
ganily variegatsd with white. red, yel-
low and dark brown clouds, which are
fully brought out when the shell is pre-
pared and polished. The lzminE. as we
have said, constitutes the external coat
ing Of the solid or bony part OF the shell;
and n large turtle affords about eight
pounds Of them. the plates varying from
an eighth 10 a quarter Of an inch in
thickness. The fishers do not kill the
turtles; did they do 20. they would in
few years exterminate them. When =
