Peon and Gerlnan.

The condition of the peon laborer of
this country, much as it needs to be inn
proved, compares favorably with hun
dreds of thousands of European tuilers.
A German twig broom maker, by con-
slant labor, earns daily wage of Is
cents, of which 13 must go for food, the
items being bread, 8 cents; coffee and
sugar, 2 cents; beer, 2 cents; potatoes
and saurkraut, cents, and all other
food cents. His yearly expenditure
for clothing is trifie over 81. And
this man, it should be borne in mind,
works in climate Of rigorous winters,
necessitating warm clothing and secure
shelter. Comparing his lot with that of
a peon in the hot-country states, we can
see no reason for lamenting the condi-
ton Of the Mexican laborer.

The tobacco used in the ghalzan is
called @tumbekee," to distinguish it
from the "futun," or tobacco or the CHI
bouk. It is raised in three grades. The
best comes from Shiraz. the next best
from Ispahan, and the cheapest and
least good from Resht. The latter pro-
duces disagreeahle tickling sensation
in the throat and is rather rank. But
the Shiraz tobacco Costing in Persia
about 90 cents pound), is q most de-
licious variety of the weed, strong and
mild at the same time, of delicious fra
GRANGE and very peculiar but pleasant
taste. In the lower grades of tumbekee
some opium is admixed, and this with
the inveterate smokers produces along
in the afternoon sort of narcosis, called
by them .'keff;" that is, the state of
great attainable we'll being, of tranquil
lity (the Persian has the same word for
bliss, joy. happiness and tranquility.
Many Persians will make forty to fifty
ghalzans day; that is, they will gener-
ally only smoke up half the tobacco in
the silver cup that holds it on top of the
bottle-shaped ghalzan3, throwing the
other half away, as it is usually impreg-
mated with nicotine. These pipes are
kept exceeding clean, a remarkable fact
in country where even the highest arc
quite filthy to our notion. In the house
holds of the we'll to-do one Of the high
est servants is the ghalzandar (pipe-
bearer). whose exclusive duties is to
clean the pipes and keep his master sup
piled with fresh ones. The ladies, too,
smoke the ghalzan great deal, both
those of high and low rank. / have
seen ladies from the shah's andaroun
stop on the high road in their carriages
by wayside inn and have half dozen
ghalzans brought to them, the eunuchs
and servants meanwhile blocking the
way to all other passers-by.-Cor. San
Francisco Chronicle.

In the tables prepared by Professor 0.
w. Atwater for Carroll ID. Wright, the
chief of the national bureau of labor sta
tistics, it is shown that for given value
in money there is only 90 per cent. of
nutriment obtained from porterhouse
steak, while the same sum expended in
beef neck will yield 90 per cent. of nutri-
ment. Salt pork affords the greatest
amount of nutroise, the yield being SO
per cent. Among the fish tested fresh
salmon gives the smallest amount of nu-
trit on, the percentage of nutriment be-
ing .06. Mackerel, salt cod, and smoked
herring give the largest amount of nu-
triton, the herring giving more than
any other, 1.21 per cent. The most ex-
pensive dairy food is butter, which only
returns 73 per cent. of nutriment. 1t is
from vegetables that the best expendi-
ture of money is obtained. Flour at 3
cents per pound yields return of 7.29
per cent in nutriment, while in the ordin-
airy bakers bread the amount Of nutri-
ton was only 2.0S per cent.
The difference is explained by the
fact that great saving is made in the
cost of bread. or the amount which one
can get for % cents when it is made at
home. Then, again, the -four used in the
average household is one cheaper in
price, but one which contains more nu-
tritive values than the extremely white,
high priced -four which is used by the
baker. This is proved by the analysis
made of bread which costs 8 cents per
pound and that which only costs
cents. In the former instance the
amount of nutrition obtained was, as
said before, 2.09 per cent. and in the
latter instance Ais per cent, or twice
as much for an expenditure of half the
money. Oat meal returns 4.49 per cent.
of nutriment, and potatoes $50 per cent
