There are really no wages in Mexico.
All working people take what they ccan
get, that is, what the employer chooses
to pay. Wage-workers make SO little
that there is no incentive to thrift, no
stimulation of energy. The classes ARD
the rich and the poor; there is no mid
die class. More hopefully, perhaps, it
might be said that middle class is Just
beginning to form. They who see no
hope Of independence, or even Of small
homes. naturally have no ambition. AS
soon as they get a very little money
they quit their employment and squaIf
der IT.. Many employers make money,
but their prosperity is based on the deg
radiation of labor. The men who do the
heavy work in the mines of Mexico re-
ceive not more than rs cents to 81 asiay
in Mexican money, or 40 or so cents in
actual money; for agricultural labor
there never is a quotable rate; hack
men and walters at restaurants depend
almost wholly on tips" which custom
makes small, and the half money of the
country smaller; house servants get
from So to SIS month--rarely the
higher price.--Portland oregonian.

WIRING THE DESERT.


Telephone Lines Going Up Across the
Great Sahara.
The telephone and the telegraph are
rapidly making inroads into the arid
portion of the desert of Sahara. En-
gineer Bayolle is now on the way from
Biskra to Tuggurth with working
force of 100 men for the purpose of lay
ing telegraph wires between the tvs
places. The line is erected as the party
proceeds, and the first news from Bay
ollie was received at Biskra when he tele-
phoned from point some 20 miles
south of Biskra. He advanced at the
rate of from three to five. miles day
and will probably reach Tuggurtl
about the first of the year.
He reports over the phone that he has
met with peculiar difficulty; the
camels which he has taken along are
not used to carrying burdens of a long
shape like telegraph poles, and in many
cases they refuse to go on with their
loads. Each camel was loaded with
four poles, two being strapped to each
side, the smaller ends dragging on the
ground.
Bayolle found it necessary to leave
behind half of his poles at stated points
and continue on the trip with the light
ened burden; since only short distances
are covered alta time, he then sends the
camel drivers back for the rest of the
load, and in this way the poles are trans
ported without being dragged on the
ground.
Since the camels will not carry the
poles strapped alongside of them he
had to resort to the peculiar mode oil
balancing the telegraph poles across
the pack saddles and fastening them in
this petition by means of straps and
ropes. From little distance It'll quite
a curious sight to behold the file OF
camels with their swinging gait, and q
lead extending many feet to each side
One would think that drove of gigantic
birds. with spread wings was sailing
over the desert.-C Chicago Tribune.

Science Helps You to Be Tour

Tho story OF a woman who Kept Posted
ON the Work OF Science and Saved
Her Own Life.
Fom ths Era, bradford, Pa.


Too few people are acquainted with the
rapid advance OF medical science, nils. too
many doctors are still plodding in the old
paths. Once IL comes TO pass that people
know themselves, that all physicians are
abreast OF the worlds knowledge, much OF
oursunering will come to an end. Medic
al scientists are not delving into the depths
of knowledge for the mere benefit of brother
physicians, but fer tho benefit Of the
world. They place in the hands Of the well
man means Of keeping well, In the hands
OF the sick means OF recovery. To the
parent they give the power OF saving the
child. Science Is working for you-will you

Mrs. George Rowend, an estimablc lady
who resides ut No. 218 East Main Street,
has cause to feel grateful toward tho
science Of medicine.
One day recently, reporter learning that
Mrs. Rowend had been greatly benefited by
the use of new medicine, interviewed her.
She stated that she had been suffering with
female trouble for many years. She had
been doctored for the ailment for q long
time-in fact, nearly all her liie--and had
never received anything more than tempo
rary relief. During the lost three years her
condition grew verse and was aggravated
by an affection Of the heart. Her health was
so poor that she found 1t almost impossible
to perform her householdduties.
81 never believed in proprietary medi-
cines," said Mrs. Rowend, ssbut one day last
fall read an article in newspaper which
told of the cures effected by Dr. Williams
Pink Pills, and decided to try the medi-
cine. Before l had taken the contents of

A SIMPLE PROCESS.
Tho Art of Preparing the Skins OF AMI
mails for Use.

mails for Use.
1t is often desirable to use the skins
of various animals, but few unprofes-
sional people know how to taw them
and yet keep the fur OH and have
it soft and firm. The process is not at
all difficult, and may be successfully
handled by any person of ordinary in
telligence. by carefully needing the
following directions one may have furs
as soft and pliable as those that come
from the furriers. "Supposing the skins
are dry, they should be softened
throughout by soaking in pure water,
soft water is best, but any ordinary pure
water may be used, and care must be
taken that the skins are thus soaked
only sufficient time to soften them
Then clean off any bits Of flesh that
may remain on the flesh side, rinse all
well, shake off the loose water, and
gently stretch out and tack on board,
flesh side up. Then sprinkle with a
mixture of powdered alum and salt
about two-thirds alum and one-third
salt-enough to just cover every part.
AS the skin dries, it takes up the mix
ture, but if any be left on the surface
the second day, sprinkle on . little more
water, otherwise put on more alum and
salt, and sprinkle. Two or three days
should be sufficient for small skins, the
idea being TO give the skin all the alum
and salt it will take up while in moist
condition. This tawing process makes
the hair firm, a gentle rubbing and beat
ing softens the flesh side, and is pre-
served from decay, although tawed
skins are never calculated to stand
much wetting. This process is well
adapted for all small skins, although
those which are heavier require more
time, and the flesh sides are sometimes
folded together, and the skins rolled up.
When the skins are freshly taken Off,
no smoking is needed, but more care is
called for in thoroughly washing off
and cleaning them, and the first appli-
cation of salt and alum should be in the
proportions of one-half each. 1t re-
quires the judgment of tanner to deal
with skins in dry state, which may
have become partly damaged before
drying, and it requires special knowl-
edge also to tell whether n dry skin is
so damaged" There are many animals
that might be raised for their skins

CHILDREN FILL THE RANKS.
Boys Are Being Recruited for the British
Army In the Leading Cities.

Boys Are Being Recruited for the British
Army In the Leading Cities.
To keep the ranks of the British army
full these days is no small task, and the
recruiting officers often are obliged to
enlist mere children and young men
who do not come up to the physical re-
quirements laid down for recruits.
These latter are called special enlist
ments." To keep the highland regi-
ments full the authorities have some
times been compelled to enlist men
from the slums of London. The annual
waste of the British army from deaths,
assertions, retirements and expiration
of enlistments amounts to $4,000 men
a year--considerably more than the
whole standing army of the United
States.
In an article on the LAND Forces OF
the Crown" in the Navy.anI Army Illus
trated Lieut.. JOHN Graham, of the Brit
ish army, says: 1.-THE annual waste of
the army must be made good, although
the state of the labor market and other
circumstances may have stopped the
flow of desirable recruits. The conse-
quence is that the standard is sometimes
lowered to dangerous degree, both as
to age and physique, and the phenomena
known as the child soldiers and White
chapel highlander became rife in our
midst"

With the exception Of lynchings there
was a noticeable increase in the number
of crimes committed In 1894 as com
