WAGES IN FORMER YEARS.

Professor THOMPSON, OF Harvard College,
has compiled some interesting statistics ON
wages at different periods Of u conntry's
history. He finds that in 1893, in Penn
s~ylvania, the Schuylkill and S~usquehanna
Canal Company offered wOrkmen s. a
month in winter and So in summer, board
and lodging included. In 1871 Rhode ISL
and farmers hired good hands at So a month
while 50 was paid during the eight busy
months OF the year. A strong boy could
earn 81 u month by working from day
break until late at night. Farmers got
the smallest prices for their products and
women picked the stray bits Of wool from
the bushes and briars where the sheep pas
tured, and p and knit it into mittenS,
By hard work at spinning a woman and
girl could together earn II cents u day.
As late a. 1921 good farm hands could be
had for % cents q day. or twice as much
in harvest time.
But since this period there has been n
steady increase in wages Though wages
in many departments OF labor do not seem
large at present, yet when q comparison Is
made with many years ago, they seem
small no longer.

THE freaks of imagination are now al
most A. wonderful as those Of the earth
ouakes. People in various sections are
seeing all kinds of unheard Of phenomena.
1t reminds one a good deal OF the days OF
the ancient Romans, when the image OF
Jupiter would sweat blood, statues leap
down from their pedestals, dumb brutes
talk with the tongues Of men, streams OF
oure water be turned into blood, and hun
dreds of other wierd and mysterious
prOdigieS occur.

WHAT can be more disagreeable, more
disgusting, than to sit in a room with n

if they try to cure themselves and fail.
But il they get DIR. Sage's Catarrh Remedy

country are generously giving of their sub
stance for the relief of the South Carohna
sufferers. But more is yet needed. WI

THE State Fair that begins tomorrow
is expected to be the best ever held on the
grounds. BY the great number OF entries
that have already been made we are conf
dent the exhibits will be the finest ever
seen in the city. And if there is favorable
weather during the week, a large attend
ance is expected.
The manufacturers and merchants OF
our city will have an excellent opportunity
to exhibit their wares, as well as the farm
er his produce, the stock raiser his horses,
cattle and sheep, and the poultry raiser
his turkeys, chickens and ducks.
The country people had a better exhibit
last year than the people o four city. Our
manufacturers and business men certainly
lost BY this. They could have had an ex-
hibit that would have done credit to any
city. Besides this they would have added
10 the interest of the Fair and prOttably
advertised their wares. 1t is believed that
u city will this year have al exhibit that
will do her great credit.

sADDER STILL THAN THE STORY
OF CHARLESTON.

~ -
OF CHARLESTON.
There is q pathOs in some Of the stories
from Charleston that il at times dramatic.
So great an influence has the terrible yisi-
tation had upon the minds of the people
that whenever a shock arrives, so utterly
helpless and dependent 10 they feel, that
they, bowed upon the streets, resign them
selves to their fate or burst forth in songs
and prayers. They know not what moment
they may again be visited by the terrible
phenomenon and their lives swept away
like leaves before the winters blast.
Ii there is anything can make man feel
his insignifcance in the economy Of the uni
verse it is when brought face to face with
with such stupendOus phenomena OF ma
ture. We are accustomed to call this q
grand old earth; and 50 it is. But when
we think that its crust is only the thick
ness of an egg shell, compared with the
molten interior, and this shell badly crack
ed in many places too, the insecurity OF
man seems still greater.
The list of earthquakes published in yes
terday's REGISTER, showed that since his
tory began more than 3,OOO,O 600 human
beings have fallen victims TO these agen-
cies. This is a sad record. But there is
ano' her one still sadder, but which attracts
very little attention. The carnival Of
death not coming so sudden and there
being no powerful manifestations Of
natures forces to stir the soul, the wide
spread havoc proceeds almost unObseryed.
The mortality statistics of this country
show the average duration oflife to be less
than twenty years. One half Of the people
are cut of before they reach their TWEEN
tieth year. Only twenty two Americans
out of a hundred reach the age of fifty and
but four out of a hundred reach the age
OF eighty.
No European nation has such q high
death rate. Yetthe Americansa are better fed,
clothed and housed than any other people.
But Americans are q great busy, rushing,
pushing, excited mass Of humanity, hurry
ing on in pursuit of wealth and have not
time to think of the destruction eontin-
ually going on in their ranks To use
their common expression, they want to
''yet there Eli" And they do get
there" but generally with the assistance
ofthe undertaken, who has been following
close behind with his hearse like an ambu-
lance following an army.

A Kind Act.

One week ago Saturday, says the Rock
land Courier Gazette, Edward E. Sherman,
who formerly lived at the Head-of-the-
Bay, was killed by falling from the
deck of vessel, in which he was employed.
The accident occurred at st. John, N. B.,
where the vessel lay. Mr.. Sherman was
scuffling with one of the crew, and both fell
over the vessels side to the flats beneath, a
distance of twenty feet, the former striking
on post, fracturing his skull and inflicting
other injuries from the effects of which he
died Wednesday. The body was brought
here for interment, Mrs. Sherman and two
children, and J. W. Verrill of Auburn,
brother-in-law of the deceased, accompany
the remains here. The body and its sad at
tendants were detained during the snow
blockade at Cumberland junction. Kind
ladies on the train, foremost among whom
were our Rockland ladies and Mrs. Edward
Mallett of Freeport learned the widows sad
story, and with wonlan's instinct soon dis
covered that she was but poorly prepared for
so unexpected a delay A purse was quietly
made up, Gen. James A. Hall of Damaris-
Gotta, who was one of the detained, acting
as spokesman. Edward Mallett of Freeport,
started the ball with $40, and when Mrs.
Mortland of Rockland took the money to the
mourning lady, the $40 had grown to $4S.

a Victim Of Cheap Literature


One day last week Stanley Gurney, the 16
years old son of Richard Gurney, at the
Head of the Tide, Belfast, left his home
without the knowledge or consent of his
parents. In the morning he drove his sister
for sleighride, and later left alone with the
team. Not returning at night suspicion was
aroused. A search was made and the horse
found and it was ascertained that Stanley
had borrowed $40. The boy was last seen in
the vicinity of the steamboat wharf and as
the Penobscot left that afternoon it is sup
posed he left on her. Mr., Gurney says Stan
ley has had desire to go to sea and visit
foreign parts, speaking particularly of Aus
tralia. He had told his school fellows that
he would not remain in his fathers mill, but
was going away. The boy has an excellent
home, kind and indulgent parents, and his
action causes much distress in the family
Friday Mr.. Gurney went to Boston with the
hope of finding his son, and if he was still
bent on going to sea to endeavor to put him
on board school ship Owing to the sus-
pension of travel by the storm, Mr.. Gurney
has not returned and we have not heard
whether his search was successful.
