Memoirs and Letters Of Dolly Madison.
Wages in 1900.

The condition OF the wage-class Of that day
may be well examiued it is full Of instruction
for social agitators. In the great cities un-
skilled WOrkmea were hired by the day, bought
their own food aud found their own lodgings
But in the country, on the farms, or wherever
hand was employed on some public work,
they were fed and lodged by the employer and
given q few dollars a month. On the Penusyl-
vania canals the diggers ate the coarscst diet,
were housed in the rudest sheds, and paid S. a
month from May to November, and $ month
from November to May. Hold carriers and
mortar mixers, diggers aud choppers, who from
1893 to 1900 labored on the public buildings
and cut the streets and avenues Of Washington
city, received so a year, or, if they wished,
$50 for all the work they could perform from
March / to Dec. 20. The hours of work were
invariably from sunrise to sunset. Wages at
Albany and New York were shillings, or, as
money then went, 40 cents a day at Laucas-
ter, $ to SO a month; elsewhere in Pennsyl-
vania workmen were content with S. IN Sum-
mer aud s. in Winter. At Baltimore men
were glad TO be hired at Is pence a day. None,
by the month asked more than So. At Fred
ericksburg the price of labog was from 8 TO s..
In Virginia white men employed by the year
were given &l6 currency; slaves, when hired
were clothed and their masters paid Fl a
month. A pound Virginia money was in Fed
eral money 1888. The average rate Of wages
the land over was, therefore, $50 a year, with
food and perhaps lodging. Out of this small
sum the workman must, with his wile's help
maintain his family.

[Rep0rt Of Bom5ay NaIuraL History S0clelyI
"The ghost of man killed by a tiger rides
on the beasts head to warn him Of danger and
to point the way to fresh victims. Eating
tigers flesh gives one courage, but unless the
whiskers are first singed off the tigers spirit
will haunt you, and, what is worse, you run
tho risk of being turned into tiger in the
next world.
God allows tiger one rupee day for his
food. so that if tiger kills bullock worth
five rupees, he will not kill again for five
days"
Just as comical is report which the native
police made after carefully investigating the
case Of an unlucky yillager killed by tiger
For perfect artlessness it cannot be matched.
"Pandu," says the report, :" died of the tiger
eating him There was no other cause of death
Nothing was left of Pandu save some fingers
which probably belonged either to the right OF
left hand"

A New French Rifle.

The arming of the French infantry with the
Lebel rifle is now going on rapidly. st. EJienne
and Tulle are the chief CenteFs of the manutac-
ture, and the Government works at the former
place have of late been nearly doubled in size.
For some weeks past the weapons have been
finished and delivered at the rate of 500 a day,
and 10000 arc already in the hands of the
troops. The anxiety of the French Govern
ment to keep secret the details of the invention
is still extraordinary. Soldiers are not allowed
to touch their rifles save in the presence of a
commissioned officer, and the cartridges that
are from time to time served out are counted,
receipts are given for them, and those which
are not expended have to be inspected every
three hours during the period that elapses be
fore they can be returned into store 1t is said
that the regulations have been so strictly en-
forced that not q private in the French army
knows even the color of the powder which he

And so it happened that Joe that night be-

blankets thereafter.
4" The Captain gave the men to understand
that they must let the boy alone, but his or
ders only had the effect TO make them more
cautious In their annoyance. To his fault OF
being young and green. and of having never
smelt powder in battle, he had now added that
Of being a tattler to the officers, and every
old soldier knows what that means. They still
haTsssed poor Joe, but not so openly as for

We laid in that camp in the damp woods,
which were full of malaria and Tattlesnakcs,
for two months, but at last the welcome, long
editor marching orders came, and a cheer of
thmktUlness went up from thousands OF threats
when the army was again In motion.
e" We had gone into camp after the fourth
days march, when 40 rounds extra Of ammu-
milton was issued. and the men were ordered to
see that their guns were In perfect condition,
and 20 be ready to move at daybreak in the
morning. Veal knew what that meant-that
the enemy was in front of Us, ready to give
battle
- Joe's eyes beamed with a strange light, and
when we laid down in our blankets beneath
great oak tree he could talk Of nothing but the
morrow and what it might bring. At one time
he said:
". Charlie. know there will be a battle, and

Notes and Queries.


One Moll Pitcher was a celebrated New Eng
land fortune-teIer, originally of Marblehead,
who settled in Lynn, as the wife of Robert
Pitcher, a shoemaker, in 1860, and died in that
place in 1913, at the age of -. She was con-
suited not only by the poor and ignorant but
by the rich and intelligent class, and many
strange legends of verified predictions have
crept around her name. She is the heroine OF
Writers poem of Moll Pitcher" There
was another AIoll Pitcher, who became IA
nous in the Revolutionary war. She was
the wife of an American aTtillerymau. Dur
ing the battle Of Monmouth, while she was
bringing water from a spring for her husband
she saw him fall An order was given to with
draw the gun, as there was no one to manage
it. The gallant Mary took her husbands place
and performed the duties faithfully. Wash
ington afterward conferred on her the title o
Sergeant. She was called by both the French
and Americans Captain Molly"

Popular Education.

We sympathize with the feeling which often
leads citizens to boast that no child born in this
country need grow up in ignorance, and yet it
is a fact that many people who have learned to
read and write have never taught themselves
to think A man who suffered from catarrh,
consumption, bronchitis, scrofula or liver

out, how these and many other diseases have
been cured by Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis

self and test the virtues of this great medicine
his time would be thrown away.

MOUNTAIN SHEEP.
Exciting Sport in the Rocky Mountains

Gen. Il. Il. Nancy IA May Oming.l
Tying our horses securely out of sight, we
cautiously approached toward the game under
cover of rocky projection, and as we came
near We took of our caps and softly crept up
and cast our eyes over the crest of crag, ex-
pectng to find the sheep where we last saw
them. But instead of this they had disap-
peared probably having heard u.s. or taken tho
wind from US, and run around the hill 4; and as
their tracks indicated this, we hurried back to
our horses mounted, and galloped around on
the opposite side Of the hill, hoping that we
might head them of as they came around and
when we reached a narrow defle, where we
thought it probable they might attempt to
pass we dismouuted, and leaving our horses,
walked noiselessly forward, until we discov-
cred the heads of the large flock Of at least so
mountain sheep, lying quietly down among
the rocks about $50 yards of, whereupon we
instantly dropped upon our hands and knees
and crept cautiously forward until We secured
a good position behind the rocks. Then, tax
! ing deliberate aim, we fired together at which
the terrified flock jumped up, and not seeing
/ where the shots came from, became confused
! and ran around in different directions, giving
! US good opportunities to make several other
! running shots which were effective and when
! at last they out Of range they left us five
Of their number stretched out upon the ground
! before US
Although this was during the rutting season
1 the flock embraced rams, ewes and lambs The
( following season we shot seven more near the
1 same ground.

RUSSIA.

Bat a complete change comes over the scene
as one crosses over into Russia. The scenes re-
called no longer affect the disabilities. ! shall
never forget the first brutal exhibition of the
kind I witnessed on Russian soil. 1t was on
the docks at Baku. As the little Caspian
steamer moved up to the wharf, swarm of
ragged porters were seen struggling for position
where they could pounce on the passengers
baggage. Gaunt, hungry looking, and clad in
rags, they seemed like the very Oti-scouring of
the world. Standing out in bold relief against
them were number of burly policemen. The
chief duty of the latter seemed to be to abuse
the former, which they did in most unWar-
rantable manner.
The bluecoats did no artistic and finished
tapping with the locusts, like the members of the
Broadway squad, but they struck the poor, half
starved wretches squarely in the face with
cIenched fist and kicked them in the stomachs.
The burly policemen seemed to take a wantOn
pride in smashing the poor, ragged devils in the
face and in kicking them in dangerous places
with their heavy topboots. AS a picture OF
brute force, unbridled, goating over defenseless
victims, it beat anything ever saw.
1t seems incredible to an Anglo-Saxon that
human beings could ever be so thoroughly
crushed and cowed as to submit meekly to such
inexcusable brutality as the lOwer-class Rus
SLAMS do. One after another the Wretched vic
tins of police brutality would go limpng away,
famed or doubled up by a kick, and faces often
streaming with blood. Our Russian passen-
gers paid no sort of attention to the scene only
in the breasts of two persons present, in all thai
crowd, was aroused any sentiment of pity Oh
condemnation, so far as could be seen on the
surface. These two exceptions were an Eng
lish war correspondent and myself.-NeI0 YOri

AMONG THE TURKS,

but to n less extent than among the Oriental
Christian races The Turkish peasant seems
to be made of somewhat more manly clay than
the Serb or Bulgar, and, while he would hardly
resent blow from a superior, he receives less
of them than his Christian neighbor.
Among the subjects of the Shah blows and
domineering actions are freely given and taken
without thought of bad blood resulting there
from. / once saw regular pitched battle, or
more correctly, fOgging match, between two
gangs of Persian charyadars on the road near
Tabreez 1t was curious exhibition of meek
ness and ferocity. The fighting, if it could he
called fighting, was done with sticks. One man
would hump his shoulders, and with a propitia-
tory grin, retreat, while his assaiIaut rained
upon him a torrent of blows and grunts and
imprecations. The rage of the aggressor be-
coming exhausted, he would desist, winding
IN with a torrent of abuse. Finding himself
free from blows, the other party would now
bristle up in selfdefense and begin to turn the
tables on his late assailant, who, i'll turn, would
now retreat and grin and hump his back There
was no striking back, blow for blow-no op-
position. 1t was simply a tlogging match, turn
about in which one man would have his in
nings. and then another. This sort of thing
continued for 10 or 10 minutes, when every
body seemed to think that enough blows had
been received and delivered, and the party
separated almost with good humor.

One of the most singular phases of life in the
East to an American traveller is the utter lack
of self-assertion in the lower classes whenever
their social superiors choose to infict upon them
corporal abuse. All tourists and globe trotters
have, of course, seen the ordinary servility and
meekness of the Oriental plebe; but only those
whose interior wanderings have taken them
in direct contact with the everyday life of the
people fully realize the depth of this degrade
ton.

The Highest Waterfalls.

According to recent calculation, the
highest waterfalls in the world are the
three Krimbs Falls in the Upper trinz-
pau; these falls have total height of
I14S feet. The three falls the next in
height arc found in Scandinavia, the
Verne Foss in Romsdal, VA feet; the
Vettis Foss on the Sogne Fjord, SO feet; :;
the Riukcu oss, in Thelemarken. SOL
feet. With a decrease in height of 2l3
feet, the three lelino Falls, 51l ieet, near
Zerni (the birthplace of Tacitusl, follow
next in order, and they are succeeded by
the three Tessa Fails, in the Val For
mazza, 541 feet. The Gastein Falls in
the Gastein Valley, 469 feet, rank be-
tween the skjaggedal Foss, in the Har-
danger jord, "a feet, and the Boring
Foss in the same ford. If the width
of the falls is taken into consideration,
the most imposing are those of the Vic
toria Falls Of the Zambe,i, which are 394
feet high, with a width of S3U0 feet. A
long way behind these falls come the
Niagars Falls, III feet nigh and 1868
feet wide.
