From the Pail Mali Gazette.
Marienbad, the favorite watering place of
those who are overburdened with their quantity
OF too, too solid iesh," is at the height of its
season, and, as usual, 'full up" One of the
chief subjects Of interest, discussion and gen.
eral conversation just now is the discovery of
an old visitors book at one Of the hotels
situated on the place in front Of the church.
1t used tc answer to the name of Eur Golde-
men Taube," but has recently been dubbed
Goethe Haus" in commemoration Of the fact
that seventy years ago the poet stayed at it dur
ing his first visit to Marienbad. He was then
seventy-on. years old. and repeated his visit
the two following years. In the old visitors
book, which the present proprietor has
unearthed. and which is now being
gazed at by batch after batch of
visitors, the following entry il found under
the date Of 1923: 4. JUL bis 20. August, Herr
Johann Wolfgang v. Goethe, Staatsminister aus
Weimar." The numbers of the four rooms oc-
cupied by the minister Of state are also given,
together with the sum he paid for them. Those
who are acquainted with Marienbad prices of
the present day may be interested to know that
Goethe's rent for four rooms, which he retained
about eight weeks, amounted to 420 gulden.
Another interesting entry in the same musty
tome from which the information is gathered
tells of visit from the Comte de ST. Leu,
brother Of the Emperor Napoleon l, King of
Holland and father of the Emperor Napoleon
Ill, who stayed at the ''Goldenen Taube" for

Shaving in Italy.


From the New York Sun
A few of the Italian BARRIERS here have or
ganized for the suppression Of the Italian s.
cent shaving shops that abound in the italian
quarters of the city. An American traveller
who heard the news said: II rarely ever paid
more than OR cents for shaving in Italy. In
the small towns there you can find plenty OF
bar beers who shave for cents, if not for cent
In Romo usually paid cents, but once paid
only 2, and the job was well done for that
price. In many places in Great Britain found
could get shaved for an English penny, with
plenty of lather. which is apt to be scanty in
Italy. If the nickel BARRIERS Of New York raise
their rate to dime they will lose customers
for plenty of people can't afford more than S
cents for shaving once a week

The Negro a. . Worker.

From the st. Louis Republic
The efficiency Of the negro as skilled worker,
as a factory operative and as a free laborer
generally, is a question of general interest, es-
pecially interesting to the southern states. The
Trddesn,dn recently sent out to extensive en-
ployers in the south a circular asking the fol-
lowing questions, among others:
4. What degree OF efficiency do you find in
common and. skilled negro labor as compared
to white labor in like work?
5. Do you intend to continue the employ
ment of negro labor!
8. Are your negro laborers improving in
efficiency?
Z. What effect has such education as the
younger generation has acquired on them as
laborers!
8. Does 1t add to or detract from negro's
efficiency as laborer. in your opinion, to edu-
cate him?
The replies received indicate that the wages
now paid the negroes in the south equal if
they do not exceed, the average wages of white
factory operatives, as shown by the census of
1851. The negroes, moreover. are as yet gen.
orally exempt from the curse Of child labor in
mines or factories. The summary Of answers
received to its questions is thus given by the
IradeSntan:
Replies were received from l9G persons re-
siding i'll all the southern states and employing
1895 colored workers, OF whom 97S are reported
to be skilled laborers. The highest wages re-
ported as paid to skilled iaborer are 80 per
day, the lowest Sl.10, and the average wages Of
skilled laborers Sl.75 pei day. The highest
wages received by unskilled laborers as shown
by these replies, are Sl.50 per day, the lowest
TO cents per day, and the average IL. 10 per day.
The replies to the fourth question: what
degree OF efficiency do you find in common and
skilled negro labor as compared to white labor
in like workY are not SO general as are the an
swers to some OF the other queries. Briefly
stated, ~ employers Of 1879 colored workers
pared with white laborers; So employers Of
l,.41 coiored men prefer white labor and 40
employers OF 8, 214 negroes prefer them to
white men in the same capacity.
10 the inquiry, "Does it add to the negro's
efficiency to educate himy' the answers are
very interesting. To questions and con-
corning this topic there were received 1879
answers, most Of which were quite brief EN-
ployers, thirty In number. having :, 800 colored
employees, say that the amount of education
which the younger negroes have received has
been OF benefit to them. and that il adds to
tho efficiency OF q negro to educate him."
The doubters and those whose replies showed
that they had no definite opinion is numbered
thirteen and give work TO $50 colored men, and
ninety-six employers, having $500 employees of
the negro race, are Of the opinion that such
education as the younger OF the colored race
have received has not been Of benefit to them,
and that, generally speaking, sit detracts from
. negro's efficiency to educate him."
This leaves no doubt that the negro Is be-
coming capable of doing better work. and that
where the opportunity is given him to do
skilled labor, as it is in the south, he is capable
OF developing SO as to improve it.

fuss about it. / don't want to a bit, now we

us the sheep, but mother says he shan't, and
you know she always carries the day. Darn it /!
