English Laborers' Wages.

A table has been published containing
the weekly wages paid to English farm
laborers from the year 1900 to the pres
ent time, the price of wheat per bushel
during the same period, the number of
days work required to pay for a bushel
of wheat, and the wholesale price of
meat. Dur ng the thirteenth century
wages were two shilings-50 cents-a
week. In the fourteenth they had ad-
vanced about Is cents, and slowly ad-
vanced until they reached $1.87 during
the last century, and gradually mounted
from that sum to 50 IS, the present av-
erage. This increase has been relative
as well as positive. In the thirteenth
century, eight and half days, work
were required for the purchase of q
bushel of wheat. This purchasing
power has constantly increased, until
now two and half days. labor will buy
o bushel, though the cost of the wheat
has increased from seventy cents
to $1.46. The year 1900, noted for
the scantiness of its crops, and for
the distress thereby occasioned, was a
temporary exception to the decline
wheat having risen to $3.50 q bushel.
The price of meat at wholesale has risen
in six centuries from six cents to nearly
fourteen cents pound. The general
conclusion to be deduced from the table
-presuming its correctness-is that if
English laborers do not find subsist-
ence now easier than formerly, it is be-
cause they are not satisfied to live in the
very poor way with which their ances-
tors were forced to content themselves.

YOUNG people do not realize the
change that has taken place in the post
age system of the United States during
the present century, nor the adyanta es
we daily experience from cheap and
rapid transportation of letters. In 1892
the New York City Directory for that
year contained the following rates Of
postage: "Postage for any letter not
exceeding so miles, 6 cents; 60 miles, 8
cents; $50 miles, IL cents; $50 miles,
20 cents; $50 miles, Is cents. Every
double letter shall pay double said
rates."
