 Mir. Porter, who is investigating the con dition of the industrial classes of Europe, got some interesting and valuable information from Herr s. Osann, weIl-known writer and speaker on economic questions and se- cretary of the Iron and Steel Association of Germany. The average amount of money received monthly by each person Gncluding young and old, skilled and unskilled) engaged in the iron and steel industry of Germany was in January, 1879. only 60 marks, 94 pfennings while in January, 1883 (after four years of protection, each person engaged in the industry had increased to Il marks, 57 pfennings. In the same time the number of hands has increased 8 per cent. and the value and the amount of the product fully as much. Herr Osann, after quoting these statistics from recent compilation, said {: 'sThe fact is that protection saved indus trial Germany. Under free trade our whole industrial system was going to ruin. You can better imagine how apparent, this was xhe1 you reflect on the rsvulsisn of public opinion necessary to make such 8 radical change in the economic policy of great en- pire.'

If the people of Dakota seek division of that Territory next session it is possible that they will not ask, as they have heretofore, that the forty sixth parallel be made the di- viding line, but will select the Missouri river instead. The Missouri river cro sses the Ter ritory from northwest to southeast, dividing it into two equal parts. It would separate the grazing and mineral country on the south and west from the fertile grain fields of the north and east almost exactly.

Professor Elliott Coues, who is 8 we'll known ornithologist and who is convinced that the English sparrow is an unmitigated nuisance, has undertaken to show how the pest can be exterminated in the District of Columbia, where he lives. He advises first that a part of the game law that forbids the killing of any sparrow, under penalty of $2, shall be repealed; second, that the killing of spar rows within. the city limits, except by the use of firearms, shall be permitted; third, that bounty of two cents head shall be of- fered for dead sparrows; fourth, that spar rows heads shall be receivable for taxes at the same rate, and fifth, that it shall be the duty of those who care for the public streets and parks to destroy sparrows' nests, young sparrows and sparrows' eggs.
