very thin plates Of well tempered steel,

composed OF polished steel, was the white

iclers. In France it was worn without
ornament, but the Italians decorated it
with lions heads and antique masks,
little later the armorers of Nuremberg,
then very popular in France, introduced

A WARNING.

The modes of Deaths approach
are various, and statistics show con-
clusively that more persons die
from diseases of the Throat and
Lungs than any other. 1t is prob
able that everyone, without excep-
ton, receives vast numbers of Tu-
bercle Germs into the system and
where these germs fall upon suita
bic soil they start into life and de-
velop, at first slowly and is shown
by slight tickling sensation in the
throat and if allowed to continue
their ravages they extend to the
lungs, producing Consumption and
to the head, causing Catarrh. Now
all this is dangerous and if allowed
to proceed will in time cause death.
AT the onset you must act with
promptness +; allowing a cold to go
without attention is dangerous and
may lose you your life. AS soon as
you feel that something is wrong
with your Throat. Lungs or Nos
trils, obtain bottle of Boschee's
German Syrup. 1t will give you
immediate relief.

WAGES.

= From Thurn'Gn's Great Special
It is true that in America laDoring
men generally receive more wages IN
money than they do in foreign lands
but not by any manner OF means TO
the extent you might suppose from
hearing SO much talk about it. For
instance, let me give you the follow
ing facts according to the latest cen
sus: Great Britain had population
of 4O1 to square mile. The aver
age wages paid were 81 cents per
day. That is in Great Britain, New
England has population OF 2lo3 to
the square mile, and the average wa
ges were 81 OF per day, about 4 cents
more than in England. Ohio has
population of 80 to the square mile,
and wages average 81 OS day. Col
orado's wages average 81 40 per day.
The entire United States, ..uot lnclud-
ing the Territories and the District
of Columbia, has "a to the square
mile, and the average wages are 81 IL.
What fact does this establish Does
it not prove the more dense the pop
ulation the greater the competition
among wage earners and the lower
the wages And the reverse OF the
proposition, the less the competition
among wage earners the higher the
wages? No man can deny that who
has any regard to the truth.
Now, my friends, you hear great
deal said about the pauper labor OF
England, especially because our chief
imports are from Great Britain, Eng
land, Ireland and Scotland. And yet
YOU see that in that most prosperous
State of Massachusetts,, the greatest
manufacturing State in the Union,
the average wages are only about four
cents more than they are in England.
But if you take the purchasing power
of money, as you mi ht do, the wages
are as high in England as they are in
Massachusetts. A voice-"Higher.
l do not know but that they are,
they are as high certainly in Eng
land as they are in Massachusetts, be-
cause in order to ascertain how much
a man is obtaining by his labor and
to ascertain how much his earnings
tend to support him and his family,
you must take into account what il
costs him to live, and fit costs a man
more to live in one place than it does
in another, although he may get
more wages in the first named place
| than he does in the second, he may
not lay up a single cent more OF mon

O. p. Fitzgerald, D. D. Editor, says:
When such men as Bishops McTyeire, Keener
and Granbery, and Drs. Deems, Kendall, Cook
ard Morrison write in recommending book,
there must be good reasons for 1T. Seeing that
had spoken well ofs'The Story of Methodism,'
we open its pages with natural presumption
in its favor. Nor were we disappointed The
book is attractive and valuable. Though prop
erly call I'd "The Story of Methodism,"i it is nei-
ther light nor fictitious. Though it is veritable
history, it has all the fascination of story. The
narrative is as pleasing to the mind as the me-
chanical execution of the book is pleasing to the
eye. Bishop Keener says at is entertaining,
instructive and impartial" We wish it a wide
