1T STIRS EUROPE Up
Lord Saiisbury.s Speech at the Lord
Mayors Banquet

LONDON. November 11.-Lord Salisbury
speech at the lord mayors banquet at
the Guild Hall-especalIy his reference Ia
Amerlca-is making stir throughout Eu-
rope. The Paris evening papers yester-
day Thursday) having longer time for re-
Election. had much less satisfied tona
lhan the utterances of the morning press
in the French capital; while the whole
continent reflects the feeling that the
speech conveys a grave menace for the
future.
La Liberte of Paris says: "It is a CUES
ton of an Anglo American agreement re-
spectiug the Philippines. directed against
Germany"
The Journal des DeDats regards the
speech as an invitation to America to
make an alliance against Europe" but
DOUBTS whether Americans will willingly
play the role of train bearers to English
politics"
The London morning papers revert to
the subject, and again take occasion to
wish well to America colonial mission
| The Times says, edtorially:
mo doubt the idea of La Iiberte is gro
teSque, but it shows a truer app-eciari rion
of the spirit of Lord Salisbury's remarks
than the singular Interpretation put upon
them by one correspondent, Henry Nor
man. who finds in them the preposterous
implication that the English attitude dur
ing the war was due to the notion that
our interests would be furtnHraJ by the
United States being plunged into war
Lord Salisbury clearly did not refer to
| the late war at all. He paid the United
States the compliment of holding that their
entry into world politics is an event of
great Importance. His further remarks OBJ
viously meant that America and England
would stand together in a friendship based
upon community of aims, sentiments and
interests
The Daily Mail, which deprecates EN-
peror Williams visit to Spain as most ILL
advised and inopportune," says: THE first
article of our national policy is a close
friendship with the United States, and 1t
would be better for Germany to act in
harmony with Great Britain than try to
frritate America
The Daily News says: Lord Salisbury's
remarks were unusually obscure. Perhaps
he was aliuding to Germany's irritation.
In any case Germany cannot contemplate
America from the Philippines. If she
wants to display colonial energy in that
direction Germany is too late. America
has been deeply and justly incensed at
Germany's favor toward Spain and she
certainly will not ask the kaiser's leave
before appropriating the fruits of victory

The Most Favorable Season

To cure catarrh is in the spring.
During the winter the patient is like
" to take fresh cold and have set
back. But il treatment is begun i'll
the spring and continued into the
summer, nothing need be feared for
the succeeding winter. OF course, It
all depends on the medicine. There
are a great many catarrh medicines
which relieve the most disagreeable
m oms temporarily. Pe-ru-na
cures more slowly bat also more per-
manently than this class Of medicines.
A course OF Pe-ru-na during the
spring will cure catarrh more quickly
than at any other season. Mr.. Wal
ter H. Tucker, Concord, N. H.,
writes DR.. Hartman as follows.
when l began taking your medi-
cines four years ago / was suffering
with chronic catarrL. had taken
nearly two dozen bottles of So
called catarrh cure without much re-
lief. Pe-ru.na cured the night sweats
and dizziness; it cured the cough /

saved my life"

book form a series OF lectures on vari-
GUS phases of chronic catarrh, which
he calls winter Catarrh." This
book will be sent free to any address

row before planting. Water was turned
in the burrows on May 10 to supply
moisture for terminating the seed. This
was repeated at intervals of ten days to
two weeks throughout the season or I'M
til October. The water never flowed
longer than one hour in place and
was not permitted to touch the tubers
or tops on the surface. Beets were thin
ned June 10 by cutting out all but two
or three in every foot of row, the dis
lance between rows being about 16
inches. Cultivation followed each irri'
cation, and the ground was kept clean
of weeds. The average yield was IA
tons to the acre, the beets averaging
about one-half pound each for those in
original seed rows.
Having made several successful ex
periments in transplanting onions, de-
oided to transplant some sugar beets and
watch developments. At thinning time,
when the beets were about the size and
length of finger, l spaded up several
hundred and reset the same as cabbage
plants, by making holes with dibble
and allowing them TO fill with water
from the ditch, triokling along the fur
rows before firming the moist soil
around the plants. To my surprise, fully
nine-tenths of the transplanted beets
lived and grew splendidly. The tubers
ceased going downward and began to
spread out like turnips, and when fully
grown resembled rutabagas. The leaves
spread fat upon the ground instead Of
growing upward, as in the original seed
rows, thus maintaining perpetual moist
ure and killing out grass and small
weeds. When harvested, the transplant
ed tubers averaged one-third heavier
than the others and contained about 3
per cent more saccharine matter and
purity.
Deep fall blowing puts the soil in
better condition and is advisable, except
on sandy land. Close tillage and care.
full hand thinning and wedding are as
much necessary in sugar beet culture as
in onion growing. Shallow stirring of
the soil between rows is beneficial after

The worker Bees.

The worker bees are the smallest in
the hive and are those we most fire.
quently see, the number in each colony
being from 1000 to 80, 900 as a rule.
After a severe winter there may be only
few hundred in a hive and still build
up to a colony, while it is possible for
colony to contain from 80, 900 to 100, :
600 of these workers.
In the spring of 1872 had SO few as
85 workers and the queen, by actual
count, left in a hive on May 10, yet
these built up to a strong colony by fall
and actually gave five pounds OF section
honey. Again, in July, 1877, had a
colony in an experiment, containing 81
frames which had, as near as estimation
could get at it, 80, 500 bees. This colony
gave SOC pounds of surplus honey that
season. The worker bees have length
ened proboscis and their rear legs are Of
peculiar construction, so formed as to
hold pollen baskets" The proboscis is
not tubular, as some naturalists have
long supposed, to be used like suction
pump for sucking honey, but is rather
of a fiat shape and is used for tapping
or licking the honey up The worker
has two stomachs, the first of which is
used for receiving honey for the time
being from the flowers, which is emptied
as soon as it reaches the hive. Digestion
never takes place in this stomach. The
second stomach is the one used for di-
gestion and to sustain the life OF the
bee. The sex of the workers was so long
in doubt that they were called neuters,
but it is now fully proved that they are
undeveloped females. -Progressive Bee

THE STANDARD OF LIVING.

bor's Wages.

It's Direct Relation TO the Scale Of Ia
boris Wages.
The prico of labor in the same indus.
tries differs in different localities or
markets, not because the skill Of labor
ers so greatly differs or because there is
great diversity in the supply and de-
mapd for laborers, but because the cost
Of production the cost Of living) great
ly differs in different localities, Thus,
in New York city, carpenters, masons,
printers and other mechanics get for the
same work 90 and sometimes 100 per
cent more than in some other localities
While the cost of living is sometimes
affected by the difference in prices Of
particular articles of consumption IL is
usually determined largely by the differ
ence in the social style of living. The
greater the variety of the things con-
sumed and comforts enjoyed by the la
borers the higher is their standard Of
living and the greater their expenses or
cost Of living. Now, il is universally
true in all countries and localities that
in proportion as this standard of living,
OF shCA0A ca liGAnb VI hub AhbNANA . hAAtAAN '
rises among any class of laborers, wages
rise, hence they are always highest in
large cities and lowest in remote conn
try districts.
1t may be laid down, then, as a gen
eral principle that wages for similar la
Dor in any given market are governed
by the local standard of living of the
laborers. Consequently all efforts to i'm
prove the condition of the laboring
class, to be efficacious must be directed
toward increasing the influences which
raise the standard of living among the
laboring class. In no other way can a
permanent increase of wages be secured,
and it may be added that no scheme for
social reform which does not tend to
promote this end can beof any real ben
eft to the wage class --Gunton Maya
