THE Russian GIRLS. The St. Peters
burg pedonaost has this to say about the
girls of that country: Our girls are
learning trades in order to make their
own living. The women's industrial
schools are overcrowded. The girls
learn bookbinding, typesetting, shoe
bookkeeping, making of toys
and artificial flowers, wood carving and
painting. Schools, libraries, women and
chlldren's hospitals, and many private
offices are now superintendent by women.

He STOPPED HIS PAPER.-The church
news editor of the Chicago Adoance, a
religious paper, who has held the posi-
ton for more than dozen years, has
some curious experiences. An item was
sent to the effect that a certain minister
was called to church in Michigan.
Then regular church news correspond
ent wrote that the call had not been
made, that it was the mistake of local
paper. Accordingly we corrected the
statement. To-day the minister writes
a note demanding, with some heat, why
it was not announced that he had de-
clined the call, and asking that his pa
per be stopped at once.

The Nutmeg.

Nutmeg is the kernel of small,
smooth, pear-shaped fruit that grows ON
a tree in the Moiucca Islands and other
parts of the East. The trees commence
bearing in the seventh year, and con-
tinue fruitful until they are seventy or
eighty years old. Around the nutmeg,
or kernel, is bright brown shell.
This shell has soft scarlet covering,
which, when flattened out and cried, is
known as mace. The best nu'mcgs are
solid, and emit oil when pricked with a
pin.

Piano-Makers and Their Pay
The Baltimore american says:

The Baltimore american says:
In Germany a fine piano-maker is
classed as an artist; in this country he is
a mechanic of a higher order There
are about 600 men employed in the diff
ferent branches of piano-making in this
uity. Some of them are paid by the
week, but most of them do piecework
A skilled mechanic makes all the way
from So to So per day. There are many
different departments in the piano-mak-
ing, the principal ones being case-mak-
ing, sound board making, Diminishing,
tone and action regulating, iron-workings
action-making, key-making, finishing
and vanishing. The laborer who does
the heavy work is paid from 81 to $3.50
per day. Very few learn the trade in
Baltimore. These men are imported
from Germany, and large number are
from New York, Boston, and other
places. The cases are made in four diff
ferent departments, and are put together
by men doing piece-work. The makers
average from SO to $50 per week The
wages Of the regulators of action and
tone range from SIS to S25 per week.
The soundboard-makers do their work

SHere are three departments in this
branch-net the men about S15 per
week. The action-makers' wages are
from $f4 to $40 per week. The var
nIshers average $12 per week, and their
pay runs all the way from so to S22.
The tnisher is tie most skilled and his
work the most important. He makes
the highest wages. He gets from SO to
$50 and S31 per week. The amount a
mechanic makes depends entirely on his
skill Some of the men make twice as
much as their fellow makers doing the
same work. For the past twenty wears
the makers of this city have been kept
bnsy, and only in the last twelve or fl
teen months has there been any contrac-
ton In the work The depression in
business had its effect on the piano trade.
but the demand is now increasing all the
time. The pianos made in Baltimore
are shipped to all parts of the United
States, Mexico and Canada. They are
