FACTORY WAGES I'M RUSSIA.

AS for the distribution of wages, the
pay of a woman amounts to three-quar-
tcrs of that of man, that of a boy or
girl of Il TO II years to one-half, that of
child under II years, to ope-third of a
grown mans wages, says the Catholic
World. The advantage arising for the
factories from women's and children's
wages is such that no humanitarian at
tempts have been as Yet able to solve
that harassing problem in any civilized
country. But as the wages of working
men in Russia are absolutely reduced to
minimum and scarcely sufficient to
keep soul and body together for more
than - hours toll il is cruel aTir
gross injustice to cut working women's
wages by third, since the first neces-
saTies of life are alike in men and wom-
en- regardless of sex. The monthly
wages of an adult laborcr, man or wom-
an. in England are 2Ja Cl24.05 per

however, the duration of working time
in the three countries is different, Mr..

conclusion that wages in England are

423 per cent. higher than those in the

engineer, while he felt himself gultless of
murder, was yet so overcome with the
knowledge that he had taken two lives
that he was wholly unbalanced, and prob.
ably in the most mechanical way, with
his hand on the lever sent his train along
the tracks, completely oblivious of the dan

peal 10 his fellows, asking them If he real.

incidents In the affair Experts say that
an engineer can only pass through given

MEN IN MANY cOLORS.
Richasd Harding Davis Describes q Great
Hungarian Celebration.

In one notable group the men wore ca
nary yellow silk from head TO foot, trim
med heavily with silver. Their boots were
yellow, their capes Were yellow, and the
tall plumes in their peaked caps were
yellow. Another group wore gray velvet
with gray fur and silver; another, pur-
pie velvet, with gold; another, blue vel
vet with ermine and silver. There were
never more than 90 men at the most i'm
any group Sometimes there would be but
five or six, but the costume of each one
was as rich, whether he rode or walked as
any court dress of any emperor Of Europe.
The horses were covered with velvet sad
dlecloths, heavy with jewels and gold and
silver ornaments. Some were hung from
the head 10 the tail with strings of gold
coins that one could heat jangling for
hundred yards as they advanced, stamping
and tossing their heads, and others were
covered with leopard and tiger skins, or
with harness of red morocco leather, or
with blue turquoises that lay in beautiful
contrast upon the snow white coat and
name.
Some of the provinces which dated back
to the beginning of civilization were rep
resented by men with the arms of the days
of the Goths and Vandals, and the fierce
slinpllClty VI tntiF appearance ilduc Jne
silks and satins of those next in line seem
foolish and theatrical. These descendants
of the earliest warriors were perhaps the
most effective figures in the procession.
Some of them wore black armor, some
gold, some silver, and Others the plain
steel shirt Of chain armor, which chung to
them like a wooden jersey. Their legs
were bound with raw leather thongs, and
on their heads they wore steel casques with
bar of steel running from the helmet to
the chin to protect the face from sword
thrusts, and each rider held before him a
great spear, from each side Of which
sprouted black eagles feathers. There was
something so grim and fierce in their APP
pearance that the crowd along the side
walks stood awed as they passed and then
burst into the most enthusiastic cheers
heard that day.-Richard Harding Davis

The DUR Light.

The remarkable light which has been
brought forward i'm Germany and known
as the DUR light is declared to be equally
capable OF use Tor interior illumination. 1t
is originatCd byautomatic evaporation and
overheating If the yaLors from ordinary
lamp petroleum. The vapors, being con
verted into gus, when burned yield a ljobt
of from $500 to II 900 candle power. The
apparatus consists of a tank containing
the supply of petroleum, which is removed
sufficiently from the burner to avoid al
dangerof fire from the flame. The oil is
conducted by drops into burner of special
construction, after the latter has been
heated for about five minutes by means of
oil which is burned in small heating pans
furnished with the apparatus. Behind the
burner from which the flame issues there
Is second burner, which, after the heat
ing OF the pans has been removed, contin-
ually produces the vapors and heats them
TO high temperature, at the same time
completely surrounding the first burner
with strong flame. This arrangement is
said to make the extinction of the light an
impossibility, even in the strongest wind.
Fresh air is drawn in between the burner
and the external cylinder by the force of
the flame rushing out, and by using this
air In the burner a smokeless flame results
on account of the air supply being heated.
The oil used is ordinary 100 proof coal oil
The consumption of which is about az
plhts per LOCO candle power.-Railway
Review.
