Ancient Posters.

1t is probably the general impress
sion that posters and handbills are
modern inventions, but it has been
discovered that the ancient Romans
practiced this method of advertising.

English Incivility.

Alphonse Daudet used to tell this
anecdote to illustrate the incivility
of some Englishmen:
II was on my wedding journey,
and an Englishman was with my
wife and myself in the compartment
in the train. The air in the car was
close, and wanted the window low
cred. But he insisted it should be
kept closed. l told him that want
ed some fresh air, that my wife
needed it, but he persisted in keep
ing the window shut. At his Incl
Witty thrustmy elbow through the
pane, at the same time exclaiming,
Keep the air away from us now if
you can, and the fellow glowered
like bull.

Total Abstinence at Sea.

Whatever the deep water sailors
inclinations and habits may be
ashore, he gets no liquor to drink at
sea unless it comes from aft and is
dealt out to him. When the men
that make up the crew go aboard,
which they do just before the ship
sails, their traps are searched, and
if whisky is found it goes usually
over the side. Sometimes the cap
tain takes charge of it and deals it
out to the men in bad weather. 1t
might be possible for a sailor to
smuggle aboard little whisky,
enough to last for day, but after
that he would be most likely a total
abstainer until the ship reached
port.-New York Sun,

Victoria's photographs.

The queen of England keeps all
the old photographs of her children
which have ever been taken. At
Sandringham there are screens in
the living room which are simply
covered with photographs of royal
relatives, friends, politicians, art
ists-celebrities of all kinds. But
the Princess Beatrice is the greatest
collector of all. It is told that she
has disposed something like 500
photographs about her rooms, to
say nothing of several thousands
stored away in a box.

Not Poor.

A little girl was one day running
down street when she accidentally
fell, cutting her hand on stone. A
benevolent old lady went up to her
and assisted her to rise, at the same
time exclaiming:
MY poor wee lassie! My poor
wee lassie! Are you much hurt9"
The little piece of humanity wiped
away her tears and exclaimed indig-

LABOR AND WAGES.
American WOrkmen Much Better Paid
Than Those Abroad.

he department of labor has recently pub
lished some statistics showing the average
daily wages received for a number Of years
past in the United States in certain occupa-
tons, and also the corresponding wages
received in foreign countries. A study of
these figures shows that American skilled
workingmen have no cause to complain
when they compare their condition with
that of fellow workmen in London, Man
chester Glasgow, Paris, L;ege, Belgium,
etc. For example, in the United States the
average price paid to blacksmiths for a
days labor is s2-43, whereas in London 1t is
81 g. in Manchester 81 .46, in Glasgow 81. 4S
in Paris Sill. and in Liage only 81 cents.
Carpenters in this country receive an aver
age of S2.52 a day. but in England and
Scotland an average of only S1.5S, in Paris
81 S. and in Liege 81 cents. American ma
chinists receive an average of Sal; in
England they receive $1.50. in Paris S1.3S
and in Liege "a cents. Painters receive re-
spectively s2.6u, S-42, $l.35 and 64 cents,
and plumbers s.. Is, $1.14, 81 .42 and n cents.
Wages in this country generally have in
creased in the last twenty-five or thirty
years. In 1870 blacksmiths wages in the
,LIted States were s243 day, carpenters
received 1896, machinists $50. painters
S2222, bricklayers 1915 and plumbers s2.74.
The increase has been comparatively
slight in money actually paid, but this does
not tell the whole story. In order to deter
mine whether real wages have gone up or
chasing power of money must be taken into
account, In 1872 the average retail price of
family flour was S1275 barrel. while in
1897 It was $50. Rice in 1872 was 111s
cents pound, against CT cents in 1897.
Beans were 9h cents a quart, against
cents in 1897. Coffee, roasted. was 4212
cents, against % cents a pound in 1897.
Sugar was IL cents, against 81 cents. Beef,
roasting. was ~ cents, against IA 2-3 cents
in 1897. Pork, fresh, was 121s cents. against
10 cents Lard was 14& cents, against
cents. Coal was 1926 a toE, against Sc.
Print cloths were liz cents yard, against
5 1-3 cents in 1897, etc.
A comparison of the prices in 1872 with
those in 1897 of forty articles of groceries
and provisions shows lower quotations Tor
the latter year in all cases except cornmeal
and mutton chops. Mutton chops in Isl
were 15A cents pound and in 1897 ~
cents and cornmeal in 1872 was 1A cents a
pound against 8 cents in 1897. In all the
others the purchasing power of dollar
was greater In 1897 than in 1872. to the eN-
tent of 114.41 per cent in the case of granu-
lated sugar. ..-
