EN- SECRETARY WHITNEY believes that a solution of the currency question will come very soon. He says: Il firmly be hsve that the commercial nations of of the world are rapidly falling into line on the silver question Germany has declared in favor of silver on some basis. and France has recently come forward with a similar expression. Europe would cer- tainly like 10 see silver re-established Tn the monetary systems of the world. It all depends upon England. In unofficial circles and among the political economists connected with the great seats of learning iu England, the cry is for the remonetiza- ton of silver, Even among the bankers and merchants silver has many strong friends. who do not fear to speak openly and fearlessly in favor of the despised metal If this sentiment cam be crystal lized into movement in favor of an inter- national agreement upon silver, then Eng lard. which at resent is the most formld- able enemy of the white metal. will be brought Into IlDe III IANoE Ol II.

THE HABIT OF SAVING.

The French suffer less from panics
and depressions than any other people
on the globe, and it is because thrift is
the basis of their prosperity.
In France nearly every person saves
something for rainy day. The habit
is almost universal. and those who
earn the least are sure to be found in
this great saving class. The French
savings banks have more than 5000. 600
depositors, and their deposits amount
to about $500, 100000, and this large
sum is made up Of small sums.
The French schools teach the chill
dren to save money. and the most fire.
quent prize given to a bright pupil is
savings bank book with small sum
to the credit of the owner. This is
given where in this country we would
give medal or book.
When a community has lot Of
money deposited in savings banks it is
easy to borrow money without going
to outside capitalists. The local banks
are prepared to loan to home people at
a moderate interest. In the large
cities and factory towns CT the Eastern
States the savings banks are the great
safeguards of the poor wage-earners
against hard times. and If the saving
habit was as general here as it is in
France, our people would have passed
through the recent financial depression
without seriously feeling it.
Every child should be taught the
Importance of saving without being
avaricious and niggardly. We need
more thrift. The average American
age.earner wastes enough in his life
time to make him comfortable in his
old age. We should take a lesson
from the French in this respect. They
know how to enjoy life and at the..sam'
time work hard and save money

VARIATION IN WAGES.

1t is popularly supposed that the i'm
mutable law of supply and demand
operating throughout country makes
the wages for the same labor uniform
in every part of it, as a dearth of labor
in any one place cannot be of long dur
alton while men are employed else
where. A recent supplementary bulle-
tin of the manufactures of the United
States, however. shows this general
view to be false.
In Colorado the average yearly earn
ings of an employe Of a manufacturing
company was $720; in Montana, $722;
in Nevada, $7l8, and in Wyoming.
$768. In the States where colored
labor is abundant the total average
earnings are much less. In Alabama
the average is 1915; in Mississippi,
$31O; in North Carolina, $216; in
Georgia. 1907, and in South Carolina,
1867. In New York the average is
$3.50; in Pennsylvania. $492; in Ohio,
SAFE, and in Massachusetts,, $494.
When it is considered to what extent
female and child labor enters into the
factory operations in New York the
figures are surprisingly high. The to-
tai wages paid in New York manufac'
turing enterprises amount in ordinary
years to $500. 100000 England
stands at the head in Europe as the
best market for labor. Scotland and
France are little behind her. Then
there is heavy drop until Austria.
the Netherlands and Belgium are
reached, the scale goes still lower in
Germany, where the rate is the same
as in Ireland. Spain, Sweden. Russia
and Italy follow here in the order
given. According to the table OF
Bodio, an Italian authority. 'glassblow
ers are the best paid mechanics in Italy
and paper makers the poorest. Tht
rate of wages in Italy, low as it ii
now, was still lower twenty-five year
ago. In England the increase in th'
rate Of wages has been about 30 pc
cent. in twenty-five years. A Frencl
bricklayer now gets 80 per cent. wage
more than were paid for his work il

nndlng refuge among the mountains,
while the plains and coastal regions
are inhabited by intruding races.
This is true of Luzon. the largest men,
Der OF the group of Philippines. The
dwarfs We're found there by the first
Spanish settlers as we'll as in the in
terror of the four other principal islands.
They will have nothing to do with
the Spanish, Malay or Chinese inhabi.
tants. and intrusion upon their terri
tory is vigorously resented. Armed
as they are with poisoned arrows. the
slightest scratch from which means
death, they are we'll able to defend
themselves. There are parts of Luzon
in which no white man dares to set
foot, aud some of the smaller isles Of
the group remain to this day unex-
plored for the same reason.
The dwarfs trade to some extent
with Chinese peddlers, but in very
peculiar fashion. The peripathetio
merchant deposits money in desig-
mated spot and goes away to distance.
In return for it the savages leave in
the same place such merchandise as
rare gums. fine woods and the leaves
and roots OF valuable plants, which the
peddler is able to dispose of in the
cities at great profit. They are
always scrupulously honest and even
liberal in their dealings.
The chains of hills or belts of Jungle
must not be crossed without formal
invitation or special permission. Oc
casional violations of this law cause
bloody fights. The Little Negroes are
the smallest people in the world, with
the exception perhaps of the black
dwarfs Of the Congo. who are said to
average only 4 feet and ~ inches in
height.
Owing to the extreme wildness of
these little people and the difficulty of
approaching them, they have never
been studied to any extent except on
the Andaman Islands. There the race
has been kept particularly pure, no
intrusion by strangers having occurred.
At all events, there has been no settle
ment by foreigners, though Malays and
Chinese have for centuries frequented
the islands for the purpose of gather
ing edible swallows nests.
They have laid traps for the natives
in order to catch them and make slaves
of them. On this account the pigmies
have made practice of killing marin
ers who chanced to be cast away on
their shores. By nature they are gen.
tie and kindly. Their morals are an
improvement on those Of most white
people. Sexual improprieties are almost
unheard of among them. Marriages
between cousins they consider an out
rage on deoency.
The wife of chief has an authority
among the women which corresponds
to her husbands authority over the
men. She keeps these privileges when
a widow, if she has children: other
wise she loses them. From eleven to
thirteen years of age is for both sexes
a period of rigid abstinence, during
which they must not eat turtle, pork.

A Curiosity of Eyesieht.

An aged sea captain, whose home Is
In Philadelphia, is troubled with a Pc
culiarty of vision which is common to
all shippers and ships officers of high
rank who have had long experience on
the sea. In this particular instance the
captain complains that, through the
hong use of the telescope, the quadrant,
and other instruments used in making
calculations at sea, the sight has been
drawn from the left eye into the one
which peers SO eagerly through the in
struments. He says he can discern OBJ
jects at an enormous distance with his
right eye, but is scarcely able to read
with his left. The tendency of nature
to adjust itself to conditions is height
ened in these cases by the bright glare
from the waters, which makes the
strain on the eye especially trying.
