The rate of wages in foreign lands is
much smaller than in our own. The
Chairman of the WOrkingmen' Assem-

following among the averages of week

are found in Silesia, the average week
" wages of unskilled laborers being
but 81. 4S, while in Prussia they are
SO. 10, and in the Empire, as whole,
$40.
Wages in Italy are still lower than in
Germany. One result is that large
gangs OF italian laborers are brought
into Germany when railways or other
extensive works are to be constructed.
The system of importation is so thor
oughly organized that a force of ten
thousand can be set down at any point

HAIR GROwINq AFTER DEATH.

Two years ago William A. Walters
was buried in the Stone Chapel Gem
etery, in Woodcock valley, Hunting
don county, Pa. The other day the
body was exhumed, to be taken by
friends of the deceased to Williams
port tor reinterment. When the cof-
fin was reached by the diggers they
discovered that it had sprung at the
joints, and out of the crevices the
hair on the skull protruded in all di-
rections. On opening the casket the
hair on the head was found to meas
ure Is inches, the whiskers 8 inches,
and the growth on the breast 6 inch
es, Notwithstanding the body had
been clearly shaved when prepared
for burial. A similar instance oc-
Cured in 1882 at the Cassville ceme-
terry, near Williamsport. Upon ex-
huming the remains of Jacob Cress-
well, the skeleton, which had been
buried for ten years, had hair on it
10 or II inches in length and as firm
as during life.
