ExTRAVAGANT MILL GIRLS.
They Receive Fairly Good Wages, But Are
Averse to Saving.


They Receive Fairly Good Wages, But Are
Averse to Saving.
In the great carpet mills of Philadel-
phia, where, it is claimed, more carpet
is made in a single ward than in the
whole of England, the actual competi-
tion of women with men is marked
feature; in many cases, says Lippin-
colts Magazine, they earn equal pay
burlers earn from So to $40 a week
They work from in the morning till
at night, with half an hour off for din
ner. Those who do not live at home
can get good board for 81 a week, leav-
ing quite large margin for dress or
for savings. It would be of great ben
eft to them if they could acquire the
habit of systematic saving, but to this
they are generally averse. Some of
them do save, however, and it is no un-
common thing for a mill girl to save
$500 or $400 before marriage. The first
few years of married life are safely
tided over by the united savings of the
couple, and it is unusual for the chill
dren not to begin work by the time
they are IA. They can earn $3.50 and
upwards, and this sum, as a rule, goes
into the family treasury. Thus there
will often be five or six bread-winners
in a family, and, if thrifty, neat lit
tie sum may be laid away. Thrift
and economy are, however, rather ex-
ceptional virtues among the mill work
ers- They eat, twice a day, the most
expensive meat DC and 1S cents per
pound, and pay extravagant sums for
early vegetables.

BEAVERS NOT EXTINCT.
Traces of the Busy Little Animals Found
In the AdirOndacks.


1t has been supposed that beavers
were long extinct in the Adirondacks,
but fresh work by them has been
found on the outlet of Lake Meacham,
twenty-five miles south of Malone
This discovery has attracted good
deal of attention from the guides and
hunters. Beavers feed on the bark of
the birch, willow, alder and poplar,
and it is their habit to lay by stores of
food in the summer.
Guides who were fishing on Meacham
outlet recently found sticks of poplar
of varying length and diameter, from
half an inch to an inch, cut almost as
neatly at each end as if the work could
have been done with the knife. It'was
Enthusiastically the work of beavers. It
would add largely to the charm of the
Adirondacks if beavers were again to
establish themselves there and erect
their strange habitations. The game
laws now forbid the trapping or kill
ing of these animals at any time of the
wear.

FLAX CULTURE in EUROPE.
Russia Grows, More of This Crop Than
Any Country in the World

Russia Grows Moro of This Crop Than
Any Country in the World
Our principal supply of the raw ma
terial, says Chambers Journal, is i'm
ported from Russia, where the plant
has long been, and still is, cultivated
more extensively than in any other
country in the world; but there the
culture of the crop and preparation of
the fiber receive less care and atten-
ton than in any other fax-producing
country. This neglect may be ac-
counted for by the immense tracts
under crop and also by much thinner
sowing than is practiced in other coun-
tries in order to give the plant greater
strength and more numerous branches,
to prevent it being laid during the vio-
lent thunderstorms that prevail about
the time it is in flower. The result of
this treatment, however, is coarse
fiber, and also a very much inferior
yield to that grown thicker and under
more favorable circumstances of soil
and attention in its early stages. Ger
many, Austria and France will follow
Russia as fax-producing countries, and
in each of these an average area of
over two hundred thousand acres is
kept under this crop. In Holland flax
is grown principally for the seed, and
the planting and growth of the crop,
as well as the time for pulling, is regu-
lated for this purpose. By properly
maturing the seed the quality of the
fiber is injured and renders the subse-
quent process more difficult; but the
Dutch farmers are amply remunerated
by the high price obtained for the
seed, which has for agricultural pur-
poses worldwide fame, and is chiefly
sown in Britain, although Riga seed is
also used and preferred by someugrow-
ers as being more hardy. 1t is Bel
gium, however, to which we must turn
to see fax in the highest state of culti-
walton, where nothing is neglected that
can in any measure improve the guam
tity, and more especially of the quality
of the crop. Here proper rotation of
the crops, superior tillage and liberal
manuring of the land are attended to
in manner not seen elsewhere, and
to this the careful, plodding Belgian
farmers owe their success in raising
other crops as well as fax, and which
has earned for them the reputation
they enjoy of being the most successful
agriculturists in the world.

Wages In Louisiana.

The census statistics of manu.
features which we gave the other
day were highly favorable for the
South, showing that it has advan-
ced more rapidly in factories, ca
pital and products than the rest
of the country. 1t also showed
that very satisfactory wages were
being paid the Southern opera
tives.
This is especially so of Louisi-
ana, the workingmen here getting
higher wages than the average in
the South, the figures being, other
Southern States 1886 AT, Louisi-
ana $415 50. Most of the facto-
ries in the State are situated in
New Orleans, so that the census
declares that workingmen get
more here than in the other cities
of this section. South Carolina
wages are the lowest in the coun-
try; and emitting the new States,
like Montana, Colorado and Wyo-
ming, where there are few facto-
ries, New York pays its laborers
best, S543 year, which is not so
very much more than Louisiana,
although there are more skilled
operatives there. Louisiana pays
better than Maine, New Hamp-
shire, Wisconsin and a number of
other Northern States very active
ly engaged in manufactures.-T.-

Why The President Should
Sign The Bill,

There are a great many people
who believe that the seigniorage
bill which is now in the hands of
the President is bad in principle
and this fact the States is willing
to concede, but we do not believe
that the bill will bring financial
diaster to the country if it becomes
a law, because the coinage of the
seigniorage will add only $50, OOO,-
600 to the volume of silver and
the gold reserve although not 80
large as it should be is sufficient
to uphold this increase without
any serious results. Indeed the
element of danger in the bill is so
small that we hope the President
will sign the act and by so doing
settle the silver question and at
the same time reunite the Demo-
cratic party which the silver issue
has divided.
We are we'll aware of the fact
that the unlimited coinage of silver
would be ruinous, but We are
firmly convinced that no harm
will come from the coinage of the
seigniorage and that it will not
disturb in the slightest degree the
present financial condition of the
country, because the mints will
require at least three years time
in which to coin the bullion into
silver dollars. The Presidents
lot Just now, however, is not a
happy one; he is, SO to speak, BE-
tween two fires. In the East the
powerful financial influences are
pressing him to veto the bill
while the representatives of the
South and West are entreatine
him to sign it and thus end the
agitation which the discussion ol
the silver question has provoked
and which treatens to disrupt the
Democratic party and also to in.
tensify the feeling of sectionalisn
that already exists.
We know just as Mr.. Cleveland
knows, that if he signs the bill {
great howl will be raised in th,
East, but we believe that the PEG
pie of that section of our common
country will soon realize tina
their fears of financial disaste
were idle and will in the end com
mend the action of the Presiden
as wise and proper. On the othe
hand if Mr.. Cleveland vetoes tn
bill there will be great politics
turmoil in the South and Yves
and the upshot of it will be tn
decentralization of the Democrat
party and a large increase of tn
Populist vote in the House an
