at very short notice. The New York

IL was left TO New Jersey to effect q
much-needod change when, at the
last interstate fair at Trenton, sheep
dog trials were given under the aus
pices Of the New Jersey Kennel league.
Somo enterprising members OF this
state club sent To England for cracks,
when it was learned that not one out of
hundred of the bench show collies,
which were generally supposed 10 be
shepherd dogs, were of any use to the
farmer.
About . week before the trials there
landed from a White Star steamship
two very ordinary looking dogs, which
some one said were not worth their
freight. Wallace was one Of these, q
large black and white dog combining
the good qualities Of the old Welsh
driving sheep dog and the Scottish
rounding dog called collie The other
was daughter of Champion Turk, the
dog Queen Victoria praised when she
attended the sheep dog trials in Wales
There was but little competition for the
purse OF $50 offered at Trenton, SO
these two dogs divided 1t, and before
t-,eir work was finished one of the spec
tators said that Wallace, who TO the
eity-brcc man did not look worth his
f~eight, was worth dock of sheep.

SOME LABOR STATISTICS.

Bare Facts That Don't Look Encouraging
for Workmen In Germany.
Recently published statistics col
lected from the trade associations in all
parts of the German empire do not con-
vey very favorable impression of the
industrial classes in 1891. The statis-
tics are based on reports from 900 towns
and 924 associations, including all to-
gether sixteen different branches of
trade. In EGG of the towns mentioned
the rates of wages were lowered during
1891, in 67O they remained unchanged,
and only in seven cases is there any rise
recorded, although there was an in
crease in the prices of the ordinary
necessaries of life. The report of the
founders and engine makers shows that
out of 800 centers connected with this
industry in only two did wages rise,
while in seventy-two they fell, and in
the rest they remained stationary The
cost of living increased in every case
The depression manifested itself chiefly
in the largest centers, such as Berlin,
Breslau, Essen, Leipsic, etc, where in
some cases work was totally suspended,
and in many others men were put on
short time. Only one single instance is
mentioned in which the discontinuance
of work in this branch of industry was
caused by disputes between employers
and employed. The reports of the other
branches of trade, especially the sta
tistics sent by the Miners association,
are still less reassuring. These returns
have been collected from every quarter
of the empire, and 1t is unanimously
affirmed that the workmen cannot, in
existing circumstances, earn enough
for the proper support of themselves
and their families
