Poverty Abroad.

Senator Frye, of Maine, who has Just
returned from Europe, gives, in an inter-
view, his impressions of the condition of
the masses of the people abroad: "The
people in Europe live on the poorest food,
and mighty little of it. / found that
laborers in Glasgow work for 2s. Cd.
day-sixty-two cents. / was charmed
with Edinburgh, but when saw women
drunk. fighting in her beautiful streets,
the modern Athens lost her charms. /
cannot convey to you the picture of the
degradation and want throughout Great
Britain caused by drink.
Speaking Of wages. found girls in
factories in Venice working with great
skill for from five to twelve cents day,
the most experienced getting twelve
cents day, out Of which they have to
live. But how they live is a wonder.
Their chief diet is macaroni. Farm hands
all over Europe. women, earn twenty
cents day. Women do most Of the
field work. saw no improved machin-
cry On the farms of the continent. i
have seen twenty women in one field at
work, not single man in sight. The
plain people have meat to eat but once a
week on the continent. The condition of
American wage earners is incomparably
better than that Of the working people
in Europe. II is the difference between
comfort and competence and discomfort
and insufficient food and clothing."-

the expansion and contraction of the

but the pressure on the rails caused by
the same agencies seems 10 have been en-

snow water which had been allowed 20
settle in the spaces between the paving
stones lying between the rails and the
iron forming the slot through which the
grips pass.
The stones spread farther and farther
apart, and. pressing against the ironwork,
closed up the slot 80 effectually that the
grips were gripped flrmer than they ever
grasped the cable, and the road was
blocked completely until gangs Of men
tore up the pavement nj various points
and pried the slot open with crowbars,
