The Listener has very pleasant discovery to

very troublesome. Some one said: why not

one else, that wouldn't be worse than mos

its delicious incense experienced an immediate
relief from the mosquitoes Very evidently it
had the most discouraging effect upon them.
Now and then q bold mosquito sailed in some
where in spite of it, but the difference
was most marked and grateful. AS long as
the joss stick held out to burn, the group on
the porch sat practically unmolested. And
meantime, OF course, they found the sandal
wood incense highly agreeable. The burning

The joss sticks can be purchased at the jap

rate. The Listener can speak freely in the
matter, having already laid in a sufficient sup
ply of Joss sticks to last him all summer.

The Cause of high Wages
Erom Hnrper's W-eeklu nndl.


During that famous period when the United
States had low tariff, from 1886 to 1861 wages
here were as much higher as those IN any Eu-
ropean country as they are now, and during
that low tariff period they were steadily rising
Wages in this country have always been higher
than European wages, not on account Of any
tariff, but on account OF the circumstance sur
rounding us-the large quantity Of cheap, fer
tile and easily accessible land; the almost inex-
haustible abundance and variety OF natural
resources inviting enterprise; the numberless
opportunities for fruitful activity; the excep-
uonal energy and productiveness of labor in
this country, ana so on. The wages OF persons
engaged in such labor as Is not protected by
any tariff a. ali, such as employees of transpor.
tation companies, house servants bricklayers,
carpenters, bakers lOngshoremen. plasterers,
and many others, are among the highest, com
pared with corresponding wages in Europe
Finally, employment and wages are as depend
ent on the labor market and the state Of bust
ness 10 high tariff America as in free trade Eng
land, and no less: labor organizations have as
much influence upon such things here as In
England. and no more; aud the promises with
which the protective policy is commended TO
the favor OF the laboring men cannot possibly
be fulfilled by any tariff law, and are therefore
q deluslon and a snare.

dulged the hope that the third party would
give them some electoral votes in the south,
they touched the force bill gingerly "But
Alabama has dissipated the rainbow in the

the party purposes concerning the force

The failure Of Baron Hirsch's Hebrew
colony in the Argentine Republic, reported
two or three days ago, does not prove the
untitness of the Hebrews for agricultural
pursuits, but suggests that conditions in
South America we're not favorable 20 the
enterprise. That Hebrews make successful
farmers, under favorable conditions, is
shown by the description OF Russian He
brew colony in Connecticut, described by
the Hartford Times. 1t appears that there
are fifty-three families in the Conneotiout
oolony-which is 10 New London county
and that they are industrious farmers aud
mechanics, and are now not dependent
upon the Hirsch fund. They have been at
their present place long enough TO become
permanently settled. and get along quite
harmoniously with TIE rest Of the popula-
tiol.

upon the new House Of Commons in the
New York Herald, notes many changes in
the composition of that body, and recalls
that an older member than himself once
observed: "You will see after each general
election a smaller number Of gentlemen
here" To the older members mind, prob
ably, the fact that fewer of the titled gentry
were to be found in the house after each
succeeding election meant that that body
was fast deteriorating.
