From the mouth of the jug issues a flag pole from which lies an Irish flag, underneath which hutters a badly tattered stars and stripes with the jack down.

broken or muffled as they are projected from

San Francisco, it is believed, is the
only city in the United States in which
the exchange of Mexican dollars is ex-
extensively conducted, and is one of the
only two cities in the world where the
business is largely transacted-the other
being London. The Mexican dollar is
an ugly, ill-stamped, badly milled silver
disk of Ala grains, but it has been ac-
cepted as the standard coin of China for
nearly thirty years and has steadily
grown in use and favor, notwithstand-

Eighteen years ago, when the air brake
was tried, 1t required eighteen seconds to
apply it TO a train 1000 feet long. -Four
years later the time was reduced four
seconds. Recent experiments with the
air brake on freight trains show that il
can be applied TO every car in a train of
that length running at the rate of forty
miles an hour, and that this train can lie
stopped within 500 feet, or one-fourth Of
its own length, and all this without any
serious jolting. New York Sun.

Wages.

The sixth annual report OF the bureau
OF statistics Of labor Of the state Of New
York contains the following on the inhu
ence OF machine work on wages:
Machine work has a vast influence on
wages. and the amazing productiveness
OF machinery, the modern workman. while
he claims that his wages are low com pared
with bis wants, is vastly better of than
his progenitor, the hand worker. At some
past epochs we are told there have been
halcyon days for wage earners, but it is
permissible to doubt these rosy statements
even on alleged historical evidence.
Here. indeed. we encounter an apparent
anomaly. As nations have increased in
the use OF machinery. so has the wages
scale increased the United States and
Great Britian, the great employers OF ma
cbinery, representing the plus, while Hol-
land. Belgium, France. Germany. Italy
represent the minus in graduated scale
It is stated, and generally believed, that
the machine operative earns higher wages.
even while his product is cheapened. He
actually profits by low prices.
