HOLIDAYS THE WORLD OVER.
In Latin-American Countries People
Work Only 200 Days a Year.


From the New York Sun.
A computation made short time ago
showed that among European countries
the two in which wages were highest and
the hours of labor least were England and
France, whereas the two countries in
which wages were smallest and the hours
of labor longest were Italy and Russia.
In some countries of the world an eXpla-
nation of the apparent dearth of progress
sive industry among the inhabitants is to
be found, perhaps, in the recurrence of
holidays of a religious, patriotic or purely
social character, and many persons who
are familiar with the industrial usages in
some cities of the South and Central
America say that there the number of hol-
idays seems to exceed the number of work.
ing days. There are in such countries
usually not fewer than dozen church
festivals; and there are besides patriotic
festivals. similar state of affairs exists
in all Latin countries, and Is to be found
in the United States too, when one turns
to the legal festivals OF Louisiana. There
is the holiday of jan s, commemorating
the battle of New Orleans; the Mardi Gras
on March 2, in New Orleans; confederate
Memorial day in April Good Friday. An
Saints Day, Election day, Louisiana La
Dor day, on Nov. 25, and Thanksgiving
and Christmas days. Florida celebrates
the birthday OF Jefferson Davis; Texas,
the anniversary of the battle of San ia
cinto, and Alabama the day of Mardi
Gras. Deducting the Sundays and holi-
days, the number of working days in the
United States, exclusive Of the Gulf states,
is S05. In Russia there are 87 working
days; Great Britain has 27S Portugal. 2S3;
Spain, 290: Austria, 202; Italy, 29S Bavaria,
Belgium and Brazil, 800 each; Sweden, 304;
Prussia and Ireland 305 each; the Neither
lands, 306; Hungary, 3l2.
1t has been found impossible to get any
accurate figures from the South American
countries, but 200 is the maximum estimate
of actual working days in many of them.
OF course, If the number of Sundays be
subtracted from the total number of days
in a year, there are left 3l3 and IL one
third OF the other days available for work
are set apart for holiday purposes, it Is
perfectly clear why there should not be
more than 200 working days in year. In
Anglo-SaXon countries and in the United
states the special effort of workingmen
has been not to reduce the days of labor,
but the boUrs of labor in each day, and
thus theirs has been within the last twenty
years larger reduction, really, OF work.

Britain than in the Latin or Latin-Ameri-
can countries.

The latter we're not expecting any action,
when suddenly the federal soldiers dashed

affair Gen. McClernan came up riding on
a fiery steed, and, replying. Mr.. Curl said
la a gruff manner, "Whose command Is
