Matter-Of-Fact PpOplp,

A very slight stretch of Imagination is
required 10 depict the amazcment of
that inquisitive old gentleman of DO.
tanical turn of mind who inquired OF the
gardener in one OF the public places Of
promenade: Pray, my good man, can
you inform me II this particular plant
belongs to the arbutus family p when
he received for reply: "No, sir; it
don't; it belongs to the corporation !"
The same applies to that ambitious
young lady who was talking very earn
estly about her favorite authors, when
one of the company inquired if she liked
Lamb. With an indignant toss of the
head she answered that she "cared very
little about what she ate, compared
with knowledge. "-Chambers' Journal.

Tommy anA the Snake.

Did You ever see n squirrels nest,
built IN high tree? A large rough nest,
made Of sticks and leaves, with shells Of
nuts and acorus, and all sorts of things
inside that have been bitten through by
little sharp teeth.
There was one Of these nests in n tall
pine ON the creek side, near log cabin,
whore little black boy lived. He had
watched the squirrels II long time, and
wanted 10 take out the little ones when
they were big enough for him to raise
them Little Tommy was always hunt
ing for nests of birds or squirrels, or any
other nests he could find.
lIo never wore any shoes or hat, and
mis- clothes were very ragged, but no
could climb any tree, clinging on with
hands and knees.

A long bmck snake raised its head and

WOnIan'S Wisdom.

"She insists that it is more import
ance, that her family shall be kept in
full health, than that she should have
all the fashionable dresses and styles of
the times. She therefore sees to it, that

health, to prevent a fit of sickness with
it, attendant expense, care aud anxiety.
All women should exercise their wisdom

Broom Corn.

Broom corn was introduced into this
country by DIR. Franklin. He saw.a
reed on broom, planted it, and the
reeds from this single plant were the
beginning of broom corn as an American
agricultural product. The credit of the
recommending industry is due to the
ijhakers, who, raising the plants in their
gardens, manufactured the brooms and
! old them for 30 cents, or more, apiece.
Immediately after the war, 30 great was
{, he profit from its cultivation, that it
was soon overdone, and the many who
lad rushed into the business were soon
discouraged and abandoned it. Now it
IS cultivated in all parts OF the country.

New England Wages.

Mr.. Carroll D. Wright, Of the Massa-
chusetts Bureau Of Labor and Statistics,
who is said to be careful statistician,
in his recent report gives some interest
ing facts about labor prices and com
pensation in New England According
to this report, in the mills Of Maine men
are paid $3.50 week, and women get
only s.. 60 while the little children re-
ceiye from 1925 TO $40, in the wooleL
mills, which pay the largest wages. One
paper mill in Maine pays men $1,000 o
week and women $3.50, working seven
two hours a week. In New Hampshire
the wages are much lower than those
paid in Maine and the operatives are re-
quired to work sixty-six hours in the
week. In Rhode Island the wages are
n little higher, with sixty.six hours Of
work during the week. In Connecticut
operatives work ninety hours u Week-
fifteen hours a day for six days-and
the wages are 50 for men, $3.50 for
women, $40 for male children and
$40 for female children. The highest
spinners' wages are So In Massachu-
sets from sixty-three to sixty-six hours
of labor week are exacted, and spin
ners only get $l.O8 day; the highest
class of labor in the mills not exceeding
SO to So for the men. Many of these
factories are run by water power, and
much time is lost during the winter sea-
sons on account Of freezes, and of course
the employees are not paid for the time
thus lost The statistician remarks that
'long hours and poorly paid labor tend
to brutalize," and he shows that one
manufacturing town in Massachusetts,
supports 400 barrooms. Such is the
exhibit of a gentleman who has no rea-
son to misrepresent things, and it pre-
sents facts which are not creditable to
the boosted civilization, wealth and gen

turers. Neg York Commercial i'd
