Hural affairs tells depressing story of
The state Of things in Ireland. The pop
ulation touches the lowest figure yet re-
corded, 4,530,000, or about half that at
which it stood before the great famine.

cultural wages vary from so cents a
day, without food, for men, and SO
cents for women and boys, in summer,

AS Is their annual custom, blackbirds
by the tens of thousands are making
roosting place in the old St. Clair
cemetery, says the Westmoreland (Pa.)
Democrat. There are over five acres in
the plot, and almost the entire ground
is covered with tall NAPLES and buckeye
trees. The foliage is very thick and
quite attractive to the darkies Of the
bird family. The birds arrive at the old
cemetery from the South in the early
spring. In May they disperse in all di-
rections for the nesting season. About
the middle of August they again gather,
with the increased numbers, for the
AUTUMN encampment During the day
they go off into the surrounding coun-
try for a radius of many miles and
CLEAN in the grain fields returning in
the evening in brigades and corps. The
autumn encampment continues until
October. when the trees are stripped of
their foliage, after which the birds go

1t is customary among Kaffir tribes
when trouble is brewing among them
selves or with white races, to skin oxen
alive in order to ascertain which side
will win. A white OK always repre-
sents the Dutch, red OK the English,
and black one the natives The Basu-
tos in the Free State, having heard of
the trouble between the English Gov
eminent and the Transvaal, put their
old custom to the test short time ago.
They reported that the white OK lived
four days longer than the other one !;
both oxen were skinned alive The re-
suit is that the Basutos think if war
comes about that the Beers will win,
and they have decided to take no part
In any trouble that may ensue.
