From the Chicago Record.
IN his small cell there sai a monk,

With glowing scrolls and flowers.
But once. when his cold coli was dark
And sleep refused ia balm.
He heard a voice uuhrnidlne him
That shook his former calm;

FARM WAGES ~ GREAT BRrTAIN.

The British Board OF Trade has recently
published a report on agricultural wages
ia the United Kingdom. According TO tho
showing made. there has been an upward
tendency in the rates until at present this
class OF labor e. probably better paid than
for many years Il is hardly practicable
10 make "a comparison between British ana
American agricultural wages. since the
systems Of employing such labor ia the
two countries are different and for the
further reason that there T. not available

period embraced Ina the report Of the Brit
ish Board of Trade
Taking an such considerations as rent.

the British wage 10 as nearly the Amer-
can standard as possible D. Is found that
the average wage OF an agricultural a.
borcr in Great Britain is approximately as

the lowest in ireland In County Mayo. IS

persons in this country to make a fairly
accurate comparison Of British agricul-
turai wages and those paid in their own
sections. at least IL is expected that or
ncial American figures viii be available
