h PIaiters Working In Their Own
characterization and Earnings.

The PIaiters Wording In Their Own
Homes-Production and Earnings.
This industry is so generally extended
throughout the district that there Is
scarcely a family in which some of the
members are not engaged in the work.
Children begin to plat at o and q years
of age; while mothers of families, in adj
dition to their domestic occupations, and
females Of all ages and almost Of all con-
ditions, who do not follow the business
as a means of livelihood, employ their
leisure time in it. Formely, when the
production was carried on by persons
connected with agricultural labor only,
the work was not constant; but now ex-
cepting, perhaps, with afew "~contadine, "
it goes on all the year round.
The plaiters work in their own homes,
and their busy fingers are rarely at rest.
The large number work up the straw on
their own account, and sell the plaits, or
hats, on the public markets held at Flor
ence and other towns. Others receive
the straw from and are paid by the Fat
%torini," a class of middlemen who on
sign the plaits and hats in the rough to
the principal manufacturers who finish
them for export. Others, again, are in
direct communication with the manu-
facturers themselves. The earnings of
the plaiters are subject to considerable
fluctuations, partly depending upon the
market prices that may from time to
time rule for the manufactured article,
and partly according to the higher and
lower rates of the straw. On an average,
Al l..I. f -l.II.-x. -. .@..u
girls may be taken ut from 80 to 40 CEN
centimes. Much depends upon the
ability of the workers and consider
able number of expert hands can earn
regularly, under ordinary circumstances,
from | Ira to | Ira 10 confines, and
sometimes as much as 1 Ira 80 confines,
per deim. AT sewing hats "a maglia,"
about 10 confines per diem may be
earned.
Payment is made by the piece. As re-
CARDS cost of production, three-fifths is
credited to labor and two-fifths to first
material, but this estimate is approxi-
native only, as the relative proportion
of value must be subject to considerable
fluctuations depending upon the price of
the straw. The articles chiefly exported
are the F%lorentine hats and plain and
fancy plaits. The principal countries of
export are France, the United States,
Great Britain, Germany and Austria.
The future prospects of the Tuscan straw
industry are at present by no means en-
~couraging, as so many new articles
spring up which are more favored by
fashion. The competition of English
plaits, as far as prices are concerned
Fashion apart), does not much affect the
sale Of Italian straw products; but that
of the Chinese plaits, in the coarscr
qualities, is almost crushing, and to a
very considerable extent now supplies
the various markets of Europe and
America, to the nearly total exclusion of
the same qualities of Italian plaits as re-
CARDS foreign consumption. These
Chinese plaits are of excellent quality,
well made, strong and serviceable, and
supplied at prices with which it is i'm
possible to compete in Italy.-English
Consul's Official ReDort.

Besides Venus, Mercury and the sus
pected a-Mercurial Vulcan, Mons. ].
C. Houzeau, of the Brussels observatory,
thinks there may be another planet be-
tween the earth and the sun. A tele-
scopic object has seven times been OBJ
served near Venus, the last time in 1884,
and an examination of the data thus fur
nished makes it appear probable that
this body is an unknown planet with an
orbit about equal to that of Venus or a
little larger, the latter case making it our
nearest planetary neighbor. 1t must
come in conjunction with Venus at in
tervals which are multiples of a little less
than three years. The hypothetical
planet is called Meth, and ambitious
amateur astronomers are advised to
search for it.-Arkansaw Traveller.

There is something strange about the
success of Kentucky as a race breeder. 1t
is, Of course, recognized and accounted for
thing that is not exactly explainable
by everybody, but after all there is some
about it. The bluegrass and the lime
stone come in justly for n great deal of
credit in their effect in hardening the
muscles and flesh, but there is something
outside Of and beyond that. Take Miss
Woodford, for example. She was taken
there and came out wonderfully changed
and improved, being an entirely differ
ent mare from what she was when sent
there, being in better condition every
way and still weighing 100 to 200 pounds
less. Then Kentucky horses never have
bad feet. That is a marked character
istic and M which is not easily nc
counted for, but nevertheless remains pc
culiar to the state.-Col. Jack Shinn in
Globe Democrat.

IT WAS a newspaper-the Post Dispatch
which brought the crooked st. Louis
delegates to justice. On account of some
perfectly legitimate criticism on the con-
duct of its members, the municipal house
of delegates refused admission to the re-
porter of that journal, which took the
matter in hand and discovered the facts
upon which the members have been in
dicted. 1t were better for a public officer
with a doubtful record to fondle a buzz
raw than to monkey with an enterprising
newspaper.

The ancient city of Tarsus, where the
Apostle Paul was born, has a railroad.
British capitalists are constructing a
railway in Asia Minor, the first section
of which, from Mersina to Tarsus, has
just been officially i~naugurated. The
opening of the road was made the occa-
sion of a grand jubilee, in which the
local officials heartily joined. A dozen
sheep were sacrificed, there were re-
lgious benedictions, speeches, and then
a free excursion to the notabilities. Some
Arab dignitaries, however, would not
trust their lives on the train, saying that
they would wait till they saw how the
extraordinary English continuance
worked.-New Orleans Times Democrat.

The meteorites that fall upon the earth
are composed chiefly of iron. Signor
Bombicci suggests an explanation of this.
The earth is a big magnet, as shown by
the proceedings Of a bar of steel freely
suspended and accurately balanced on
its center. Bombicci's idea is hat this
big terrestrial magnet, when rushing
through space containing meteoric par
t%icles, exerts a selective attraction for
those which are ferruginous. The fact
that 80 many masses of meteoric iron
have been found in the Attic regions, so
far as it goes, supports this theory

IT Is a%lleged-and there is no reason to
doubt the story-that an American, the
editor of a paper at FL Paso, Texas, has
been imprisoned at FL Paso del Norte,
Mexico, just across the river from the
former place; on account of certain criti-
cisms published in his paper on the local
Mexican courts. The matter having been
brought to the notice of the state depart
ment. his release will doubtless be en-
forced. and the Mexican government
made to pay roundly for the outrage.

No IMMEDIATE evil is likely to result to

OPINION.

The Rawlins Tribune makes some per
tinent inquiries for the consideration o
the Buffalo Echo:
Who is this Beck. anyway? VIVA
claim on earth has he for this high Office
except he is the son of his father. and O
resident of johnson county? Has the
Echo been hunting through the bad landl
and the Big Horn range only to find 4
thing like this to be put up and knocked
down. What's the matter with Warren
anyway? Is he not good enough fol
you?
The Rock Springs Independent has the
following:
Nobody seems to be taking much in
terest in this part of the country in the
| fall elections, except a few schemers in
Green River who are beginning to show
their anxiety for n county Office in the
northern part of the territory George
Beck's name has been mentioned in
connection with the governorship. The
grounds of general unftness and it is prob
able he would not be heard from if he
were not a relative of Senator Beck.
The Evanston CIiefam has this to say
concerning the goverDorship:
While we have a large amount of re-
spect for the present incumbent, Governor
Francis f. Warren, we believe that the
place should be filed by a Democrat. Our
better acquaintance with Hon. William
ii. Holiday, of Laramie, would naturally
incline us to prefer his appointment. But,
if the president will not appoint MI. Hol-
liday. let us have Mr.. Beck or any other
coed Democratic resident of our territory
who can command the influence to get
there. Mr.. Beck is a well educated and
very bright middle aged man, and highly
respected citizen of one Of the leading
counties of our territory. He is a son of
Senator Beck, of Kentucky, and has a
valuable circle of friends at the national
capital.
The Laramie Sentin,L, after showing the
evil effect of the political influence exer-
cised by the knights Of Labor in that
city, says:
We have not heard of the Knights of
Pythias, Odd Fellows, Masons, or any of
the churches coming forward and claiming
they must have representatives on the
tickets and have the right to dictate nom
nations, and yet there would be just as
much propriety in their dong so as for
the Knights Of Labor to set up this
claim, unless the latter assumes to be
purely a political organization. We be
lieyc our county and city can rid them
selves from this incubus, this despot-
ism. We know that a majority Of the
county are not members of the Knights
Of Labor, and we have faith also that the
majority Of the Knights Of Labor are not
fools or demagoges who want to see their
organization converted into merely a polit-
ical stepping stone upon which aspiring
knaves can climb into Office. The sensi
bic, honorable portion of the organization
will see the soundncss of this proposition,
and time will show whether they are in a
majority in the order or not.
