THE WORLD OF LABOR.

About so per cent. of clerks and skilled
laborers in the United States own less than
$1,000 dollars worth of property, while the
other half are reported as having only from
$1,000 to $4,000.
Fremont county, Idaho, has nearly 500
miles of canals, with as many more con-
templated. Most farmers belong to stock
companies and water costs not to exceed %
cents per acre on the average.
Windmills are becoming quite the thing
in New England. One man in Lowell has
established a storage battery for electric
lighting Of his summer home, the power
for which comes from windmill.
The largest harvest machine in the world
is now at work near Grayson, Cal. The ma
chine which is forty two foot cut, requires
but two men to run it, and will cut 100
acres day at a cost Of 81. 10 per acre.

PRIVILEGE OF WOMEN.

As between man and woman the woman
has much the better of it in law. The wife
may leave the husband whenever she likes
and may live by herself or 90 away with
some other woman's husband, and no law
can bring her back. But il it is the hus-
band who deserts his wife the law is after
him with sharp stick, and he must keep
on supporting her, even in cases where she
has given some cause for his deserti0n. In
most divorce suits the jury will find for the
woman on general principles, because the
average jury knows the average superiority
OF the average woman to the average man.
II a woman jilts an admirer there is moth
ing for him to do but to swallow his pride
or his love or his wrath and look for COM
fort elsewhere; but il man jilts woman
she can 90 to court and collect $50, 900 for
breach Of promise; and although women
who resort to this way OF making money
are usually adventuresses, the average jury
is again on her side.
A man is responsible for his wife's
debts, and she can go to the shops
and have silks, feathers and velvets
sent home and compel him to pay for them,
even though he has to subsist on peanuts
for months after; but il he goes to buying
cigars sporting clothes or goes to theaters
too often she can call the law in to stop
him from squandering, and not penny OF
his debts is she liable for. A woman may
be worth million dollars and her husband
may be earning $50 a week, and she can
compel him to give her ten OF it, while he
cannot get dollar from her.
This may be overdrawn. but we think
that women will have to admit that, as a
rule, men are disposed to treat them very
handsomely. 1t is true that in former
times woman was imposed upon and made
to suffer the greatest injustice, but the up
to date woman, the new woman, has very
little to complain OF in this direction. Men
adore her and delight in granting privi-
leges that they would not think OF claim
ing for themselves, and which probably
would not he given il claimed

HEIGHT OF OCEAN WAVES.

An article quoted in current literature
gives this interesting information on ocean
waves Dr. G.. Schott as the result of studying
the form and height of the waves of the sea
claims that under moderate breeze their
velocity was "a. 6 feet feet per second, or
1853 miles an hour, which is about the
speed of modern sailing vessel.
AS the wind rises the size and speed OF
the waves increase. In a strong breeze
their length rises 260 feet and their speed
reaches 800 to 1854 feet per second. Waves
the period or which is nine seconds, the
length 400 or 425 feet and the speed %
nautical miles per hour are produced only
in storms. During southeast storm in
the Southern Atlantic, DR.. Schott measured
waves $50 feet long, and this was not a
maximum, for an latitude % degrees south
and longitude 80 degrees east he observed
waves Of Is seconds period, which were
l,150 feet long, with velocity Of 1871 feet
per second, or AGA nautical miles an hour.
DR.. Schott does not think that the maxi
mum height Of the waves is very great.
Some observers have estimated it at 30 or 40
feet in wind OF the fierce represented by II
on the Beaufort scale the highest number
OF which is 12), and DIR. Schootts maxi
mum is just 81 feet. He believes that in
great tempests waves of more than 60 feet
are rare and that even those Of 80 feet are
exceptional. In the ordinary trade winds
the height is 5 or 6 feet. The ratio OF
height..to length is about 1:33 in a mod
crate wind, :lS in strong wind and Iii
in storm, from which it follows that the
inclination Of the waves is, respectively,
about 6, 10, II degrees. The ratio OF the
height OF the waves to the force of tie
wind varies greatly.

Col. Richard Thomas zarv3a Of Nat
tapony, and the Famous capture Of
the Sc. Nicholas.

In the days when the Pdpish lords
of Baltimore ruled ovea the fair
province of Maryland and beld their
vice-regai court in the citi of An
napolis, it was the custom of the
wealthy planters, after spending the
gay season in town, to retiie to their
mansions on their plantations dur
ing the hot months of The year,
where they continued the hpspitali-
ty which had given Annapolis the
reputation of being the gayest city
in America. My Lord Baltimore
would himself set the fashion.
Leaving the Governors house with
large retinue ofseryants, he would
take to his boat, and retire, wind
and tide willing, to the groves of
Mattapony.
Mattapony was one of the most
famous country seats in the colony.
Originally an Indian village, it be-
came Jesuit outpost and then the

The wedding that followed was a
very grand affair, and for many a
long year afterwards Mattapony was
the favorite country seat of the
Baltimores, until during the life of
Frederick, the last and most disso-
lutte of them, it passed out of their
hands and came about a century
ago into the possession of the
Thomas family, than whom, as the
saying is, no family of bluer blood
lived in all Saint Mary's. The
mansion was a very long brick
building, with vast verandas, grown
old and gray with time. 1t was
built upon a knoll, park Of prime
val trees stretching away on every
side, falling now into little valleys
and again crowning knoll after

dales could be seen the glimmer OF
