The Curse of Cider.

After careful consideration, with good OPP
portunities for observation, says Maine
farmer in the New York Tribune, lfeel safe
in saying that cider is the greatest curse in
some if not all of the farming communities
of the State of Maine How to prevent this
curse is a question our next Legislature will
be called upon to consider. The clderseller
of to-day is greater curse to the farming
community than the rumseller or fifty years
ago was in his time Another abuse is the
custom of ciderdrinkers giving cider to every
one who comes to their homes. We see man
or boy intoxicated, we inquire how 1t oc-
Cured, and frequently are told that he has
been from place to place till he has been
given cider enough, glass or two at time,
to intoxicate him; but a more outrageous
practice is that of giving it to the boys who
happen in any way to come to their houses.

will politely excuse himself, instead of squarely

large manufacturers and users OF elders, not
sellers, that ! would sign petition to pro-
hibit the manufacture of cider, and their
reply every time was: 80 would L." 1t is
no small job to pick hundred bushels of APP
piles, or even one-half of that number, haul
them one to five miles to mill, and get the
cider home and stored, and it would be
a relief to many farmer to know
that the old cider-mill had ground its
last apple, and was among the things that

What Japanese Laborers Earn.

The wages in Toxic, which is to jap
an as New York is to the United States,
are about as follows in American
money:
Carpenters get from 80 to As cents a
day. Cart men, who manage and help
the pullers and pushers of carts loaded
with heavy merchandise along the streets
of the city, get from rs to SO cents a
day, and the men under them, who act
as the dray horses of Japan and work
just as hard as our horses, get from to
8 cents day. Wood-carvers are very
fine workmen here. They receive from
80 to SO cents day. Paper-hangers
get from % to As cents and stone-cutters
receive from. As to SO cents. Black
smiths are paid from % to 38 cents a
day; mat-layers, corresponding to our
carpet-layers, get 3S cents a day, and
painters do well if they receive from 10
to 26 cents day. The wages of gar
deners range from 10 to 80 cents, and
those of ordinary day laborers from Is
cents to % cents. No European or
American country can compete with such
wages, and the laborer here who works
at them, while he does not Lave the
comforts of the laborer of tie United
States, is happy and really better off
than some of the laborers of Europe.
There is no herding together of many
families in one room on account of power
ty, and nearly every household rents its
own cottage or house.

The above scene is a fearful and faithful
picture Of what is taking place In all parts Of
the land constantly. The mother goes about
from day TO day feeling tired, weak, with
bearing down sensation, and yet hoping that IL
is only some passing trouble. After a time her
tired feelings increase, her appetite becomes
poor, her sleep broken, and her complexion
grows sallow. Too often she hopes against
hope, and neglects TO take the means in time
which would bring her certain relief.
One day she becomes faint, her muscles grow
weak, her head whirs, and the doctor is hastily
summoned. He examines her, shakes his head,
leaves medicine and goes away. Then pains
begin to set in, and life that was burden before,
now becomes an agony. She gradually declines,
her pain becomes almost unbearable and at last
she dies, mourned by her children and friends
This is the course of thousands of once healthy
and happy women. The innumerabe female
troubles which assail them are horrible, and
