Wages of Farm Laborers,

1t appears from an investigation made
into the rate of wages for farm labor by
the statstician of the department of ag-
riculture that since the year 1879 there
has been an increase amounting to "a
per cent in the eastern states. In the
four years from 1875 to 1879, however,
there was Il great decline, because of the
great number of artisans who had taken
to farm labor in consequence Of the de-
depression in manufactures. This seri-
ously depressed the rate of farm wages.
Since 1879 the increase in the western
states has been IA per cent. and in the
southern l3. Wages generally declined
gradually from 1866 to 1875, but very
rapidly from that date until 1879, when
an equally rapid rise began. There was
one exception to this rule in the south,
when, between 1866 and 1869. in conse.
quence of the high price of cotton, wages
advanced. The south exhibits the least
fluctuation in the rate of wages, this
being attributed to the improvement in
quality and efficiency of labor. For ex-
ample, the average rate of wages per
month was SIG when cotton was 80 cts.
per pound. and $751; 33 1-3 when cotton
was II cents per pound. Statistics
prove that the districts of high wages
are also those of large production and
net profit in agriculture. The average
rates OF wages at present obtaining are:
In the eastern states, $26.61; middle,
1924; southern, $l5; western $26.63,
and California, S38.25. Although these
indicate considerable recovery since
1875, there is still decline of 20 per
cent from the inflated rates which i'm
mediatcly followed the civil war.

Fanny Kemble's Mother,

In Fanny Kemble's "reminiscences she
speaks thus of her mother: The little
French fairy was eagerly seized upon
by admiring fine ladies and gentlemen,
and snatched up into their society.
where she was fondled, and petted, and
played with, passing whole days in Mrs.
FitzherberL's drawing-room and many
half-hour on the knees of her royal
and disloyal husband, the prince regent,
one of whose favorite jokes was to
place my mother under huge glass
bell, made to cover large groupe of
precious Dresden china, where her tiny
figure and flashing face produced even
more beautiful effect than the costly
work of art whose crystal covering was
made her temporary cage. l have Of
ten heard my mother refer to this sea-
son of her chiidhooGs favoritism with
the fine folk of that day, one of her
most vivid impressions of which was the
extraordinary beauty of person and roy
al charms of manner and department Of
the prince of Wales, and-his enormous
appetite; enormous, perhaps. after all,
only by comparison with her own,
which he used to pity. saying frequent
ly, when she declined the delicacies that
he pressed upon her: "Why, you poor
child! Heaven has not blessed you with
an appetite"

Pastimes for Ladies of Leisure,

Can you guess, asks correspondent
of the Cincinnati Enquirer, what is the
newest fashionable diversion for young
women of wealth and leisure? Dress
ing live dolls. That is to say, they
make toys of little girls sisters, nieces,
cousins, anything in the shape of lit
tie girl will do. if she be comely. This
has suddenly become rage in certain
circles. know an only daughter who,
aeving no little girl relative, uses the j.
year-o.d offspring of one of her papa S
poor tenants. a pretty little chit, on
whom she places costly costumes with
all the ardor of fresh pursuit. The
child is as cute rs possible in Kate
Greenaway garments, and M lady
lakes delight in dressing her after son,e
quaint picture. Two or three after
moons week she is arrayed in some
thing novel and taken out for a walk or
drive. OF course that will not last long,
and the child will. soon be returned to
calico. 1t is not right for rich women
to divert themselves in any such way.
nor is there any excuse for it, now that
it is fashionable to do art needle-work.
Some ingenious girls of my acquaint-
ance are making their own capes, muffs,
and cuffs by sewing together fancy
feathers from the wings and breasts Of
native birds. which they fasten to thin
silk or muslin, line with satin and edge
with border of feathers, arranged as a
fringe. Decorating with feathers, in
fact, is greatly in vogue for amusement.
Some are wearing collars and small
mufs of dark velvet, bordered with
their own hands with feathers, those Of
ducks, pheasants, peacocks. ETC.. being
employed The plumage intended to-
trimming hats and Lonnets is also pur.
chased and taken TO pieces to fancitully
decorate other articles OF wear.

Gusts Of Wind at Lake Tahoe.

Lake Tahoe, in California, is subject
to terrible gusts of wind, which rush
down the surrounding gorges of the
mountains. Not long since party were
fishing from = pier in the lake when
their attention was attracted by great
roaring, and they deserted regular cy-
clone approaching. Before the hurri-
cane came, long, unbroken wave at
least fifteen feet in height Knowing
that this would sweep the whole line OF
the pier, all present beat . hasty retreat
to the shore. When at q safe distance
they turned TO gaze upon the scene.
While thus employed they wer. startled
bya . tremendous roaring to the north
ward, and . moment afterward a cy-
clone from that direction struck the
lake. This sent before it huge wave.
which had soon attained the height OF
that coming from the southwark. In q
few minutes the two waves came to-
gether. When they struck, . column
Of water and spray was sent into the air
1t least one hundred feet. The collision
Of the two waves was followed by = re-
port that sounded like heavy clap OF
thunder. A moment after this grand
shock II the waters five or six huge wa
ter-spouts made their appearance. all
within an area Of three or four miles,
and carried great columns OF waller and
spray to the height of scyeral hundred
feet. After about fifteen minutes oi
the elemental warfare the lake becsma
calm.
