GERMAN FARM HANDS.
The Wages They Receive in Some of the
Empires Richest Districts.

The Wages They Receive in Some of the
Empires Richest Districts.
Consul Dithmar, at Breslau, Ger
many, has made a report to the Depart
ment of State relative TO agricultural
labor. He says the laborer usually
lives upon the estate, and is employed
upon it the year round. The working
hours are in summer from six a. IN. to
seven p. m, and in winter from sunrise
to sunset He has free lodging and free
fuel. and'i is customary also to allow
his family the use of 100 square rods OF
land for raising vegetables. AS direct
wages he receives per annum $40 to
$23.60 in cash and q buAels of rye, 3
bushels of peas and u bushels OF wheat.
The laborcr's wife is bound to work in
the field whenever required, and re-
ceives for a days work in summer II
to IA cents, and in winter 10 to II. Of
tea, meat and tobacco the farm laborer
gets but little. II he smokes a pipe it
is bat seldom, and his tobacco is I'M
manufactured leaf. In harvest time he
is treated to schnapps to encourage
him in his work. A writer on economic
subjects estimates that laborer's
family, consisting of himself. wife
and five children. under -
years of age can subsist for
$1.094 week, or $57 year. Miners
and mine laborers receive daily from
524 cents (Which is paid to foremen,
engineers and carpenters) to 49, and
Is cents paid to women and minors.
The average cost of the subsistence of
n miners family, including rent, cloth
ing and taxes amounts to $l22.80 per
annum. The rents paid by miners
range from SO cents TO 81 per month.
Mr.. Fox, the Consul at Brunswick,
sends report on agriculture labor in
that duchy. The wages paid to agri-
cultural labor depends upon the locali-
ty where such labor is employed, being
considerably higher in the level than
in the mountainous districts. In the
former the wages of a man and wife
aggregate $194.26 per annum, while in
the mountain districts a man and his
wife, assisted by child. earns but
1854. Men and women earn from 80
to AZ cents hoeing, and from AZ to SO
gathering beets. In this latter work
children are also employed to cut Off
the leaves, and child from 10 to II
years old will earn in a period of three
or four weeks "a cents daily. In the
matter of beet culture contract labor
is sometimes engaged, cash wages be-
ing from "a TO 80 cents per diem. Oft
en- donation of liz cents per diem is
given, provided the laborer remains
steadily at work until the contract ex-
pires. Each employee receives from 20
to 20 cents head money upon entering
into the contract, and extra hours are
paid for at the rate of 2, and cents
per hour. AS a rule. every five or six
work people receive one quart of milk
and often one pound of bread per head
daily, with coffee in the morning and
warm meal at noon and night, with
meat on Sunday Washington Cor. NJ

The Drunkard's Children.

Alas how often are the children of
the drundard trained in sin! How I'M
speakably touching was a case which
occurred in Lambeth the other day!
A married woman of twenty-six and
her child were taken up for stealing
glasses from q tavern; and, in court.
the little child ran toward her father.
who, bursting into tears, said that he
worked hard, but all in vain; his wife
drank all his earnings, and brought
him into debt right and left. Even if
they be not trained in sin, how fearful
is the lot Of the drunkarIl's children
from the fatal faint in the blood, the
awful hereditary craving for alcohol,
which either drives them into the same
terrible destruction as their parents,
perpetuating the crimes and miseries
OF the world, or else involves the neees-
sity of lifelong helpless struggle, lest
the wild beast of temptation should
leap out before them, and hurl them
down with its fatal spring-a struggle
noble, indeed, and heroic, and requir-
ing as much virtue and resolution as
would make dozen ordinary saints,
but one which makes life DIV awful and
continuous martyrdom, almost from the
cradle even to the gravel Canon Far

AN INGENIOUS DEVICE.
An Incandescent Lamp Which Requires
No Vacuum in the Globe.

An Incandescent Lamp Which Requires
No Vacuum in the Globe.
Mr.. Max Muthel has patented in Ger
many an incandescent lamp which
possesses the advantage of requiring no
vacuum in the globe. He has, it is re-
ported, very ingeniously overcome one
danger that experiments of this kind
have hitherto presented, and that is
the fusion of the incandescent wire.
The wire used by him consists of mix
ture of bodies that are conductors and
non-conductors of electricity. He takes
magnesia, silicate of magnesia, ETC.,
and porcelain clay, and forms fine
thread of them, which he heats to in
candescence and saturates with a solu-
ton of platino-iridium salts, and after
ward raises several times to incandes-
cence in order to reduce the absorbed
salts to metallic state. Instead of the
foregoing mixture, filaments of clay
may be taken and saturated with a
solution of metallic salt, which is
then reduced to metallic state, through
incandescence and the use of oil of
lavender or some other organic sub
stance, or through an electric current.
With wires thus prepared fusion is alb
solutely overcome, the presence of the
non-conducting substances preventing
the metallic parts from melting. Mr..
Muthel supposes that the electric spark
jumps, so to speak, from one particle
to another, and in this way causes
heating of the other substances, which,
brought to incandescence, emit more
intense lightly Y. Post.
