Beecham's Pills for bad Liver.

MT. Egan, who has returned from Chilli, tells New York reporters that the whole trouble between himself and the provis- ional government at Santiago was brought on by the newspapers of this country. His relations were pleasant with every one till their attacks on him were received and read in Chilli. Thereupon the provis- ional government leaped to the conclusion that he would be repudiated and denied protection by his own country, and tried to bully him into surrendering for execu- tion party of refugees. Until these att tacks began there was no trouble. As soon as the Chilians comprehended how false were the attacks and how little they represented America, the trouble ceased.
 ''All that is now over, however," con- tinued MT. Egan, "and am the bearer of the most cordial of messages from Presi- dent Montt to President Harrison. I have also received the warmest concentrations from the Chilians for my course in the negotiations which resulted in the tender of the $75, 900 which now have with me, and the apology for the Matta circular. Nothing could be more cordial than our present relations with Chilli, and my posi- tion there is very pleasant one."

ABSOLUTELY PURE
WHAT HE LIKED IN HER.

He was just the incest sort of a fellow. just the kind that you and love, as l love my brother or somebody else's broth- CT. He was full of ideas, and honestly liked, as only thoroughly nice fellow can, girl friend of his sisters. This sister was bit curious, for the girl her brother liked was not particularly good looking nor particularly talented; so she said, "Tom, what do you see in herr"
 Tom stopped a minute, and then he said very slowly: "'What do see in her?' We'll first of all, she has pleas ing presence, and yet it is not one that is arrogantly so, or that makes me feel any thing but welcome Then she speaks good English, she never talks scandal, she has low, sweet voice, and she is al- ways ready to give helping hand, met aphorically, to the people who are embaf- rassed, or who don't know just what to do when they are out. She is always neatly and properly dressed, but 1 have never seen her wear anything fiashy, and don't

She always makes me feel that it would be a hard struggle for me to get her love, but when do get it, it will be worth hav- ing. She is never effusive, but always polite. And then what liked about her best of all, and what see in her that is best, is that she is mothers girl. The first thought in that household is to give pleasure to mother. Her first idea is to have some pleasure in which mother can join; and never yet have known fl any frolic or any game or any joyful time in which she didn't first make all the ar rangements about mother and afterwards about herself. I see usefulness, dignity, consideration and a loving heart in her, and that's why I want her for my own.'

WAGES OF WEAVERS IN ENG-
 LAND.

Major John A. Tibbitts, U. s. consul to Bradford, England, is home on vaca- tion trip and has been interviewed as to industrial statistics:
 Bradford" said MT. Tibbitts, "is the great center of worsted manufacture, and has population of 24O,0O0. In the dis trict there are probably 5O0,00 people or more, and there are 1, 100000 within a ra- dius of eight miles from the town hall of Bradford.
 "I had occasion to make report to the government six months ago on the inves- tigation into wages of weaverS in the Bradford district which was conducted by @ committee of the chamber of commerce in Bradford, and a committee represent ing the different local labor organizations. That committee sent out circulars to all the worsted weavers in the Bradford dis trict, probably numbering 450 mills.
 "Nine-tenths of all the woolen and worsted manufacture e in Great Britain you will remember, is in the county of York lHo IoSulL Ol lHNcoUlSSdtioH was that replies were received from about B per cent of the employers. The tables showed that the average wages of weav- CTS for 1890 was only thirteen shillings and five pence, or $3.25! In 1891, thirteen shillings and two pence! The labor rep- resentatives on this committee insisted and no doubt with truth-that the manu- lecturers from whom replies were received were those who paid the highest wages, and that the men who paid the lowest wages did not send any returns, because they did not want to expose to their con- petitors that they were paying less than the market value.
 "Shortly after this investigation was made the president of the Bradford labor union, at meeting held in St. George's hall, said that he had sent out circulars and received answers from 1000 individ- ual weavers, covering their wages for the fifty-two weeks preceding, and that the result of these 1.000 returns showed that these weavers had averaged less than $2.95 per week!
