WAGES IN GERMANY.
Consul ut Stettin Says the American
WOrkinGmRn Gets Treble the
Amounts Paid There.

Consul John +. Kehl, at Stettin, has
furnished TO the state department a
number of interesting facts concern
ing labor and wages in Germany. The
number of working people in the Ger
man empire, says Consul Kehl, is es-
timated at 100000, of which number
?, 100000 are females, and with the in
creased cost of living and the dispro-
portionate advance in wages anything
but favorable outlook for the working
classes is presented. The average daily
expenses for food of man and wife
and two children amount to about So
cents. The average rent for two rooms
is about S2.3S month. Ready made
clothing is cheap, but shoes are expen-
sive. Petroleum costs so per cent.
more than in the United States.
The wages of household servants per
month, including board, range from
S2.14 for kitchen servants to $3.50 for
footmen. In ship-building yards the
weekly compoI sation ranges from S.. 50
for rivet heaters to six dollars for mold
ers. Seamen's wages on coasting YES
sells, per month, are from S4.2S for
cabin hoy to $26.16 for first mate. Cap
tains of vessels are allowed Al cents
per day for each officer and 20 cents
for the balance of the crew with which
''to find food
American labor. says the consul. re-
ceives treble the wages paid in Ger
many although the cost Of food is from
10 to so per cent. cheaper in the United
States than in that country. Tea, of
the quality for which we pay but 60
cents per pound, costs Germans $1.65.

NO particular trouble, eh?7 solicitously
insisted the clerk
''Wen, it was this way" replied the trav-
eler, as he braced up for the explanation.
"She sat opposite me, you know, and tried
for an hour to catch her eye. She simply ig-
uoredme and gazed out of the window. Then

declined with thanks Ten minutes later

"Wen," she said. smiling even more
sweetly, Suppose you leave the train here
and take the next one that follows, for you
have made me dead tired, and feel like
taking a nap
Good gracious" whispered th> clerk.
Yes, sir, said the drummer, as he reached
for a cigar, "and | want to go up to my room
and sit and think and try and figure it out.
Perhaps it's time left the road and settled

The PoPPlEs.


They rode into battle At break Of the day.
With sashes and sabers and gonfalons gay.
The clashinG of harness. the flashing OF
steel,
The beat of the drum and the trumpet
loud peal.
Not a heart nor an eye but was merry ana
bright,
And the peoples were white.
All crumpied and silken and snowy they
In tangle of grasses. starred over with
dew.
But the wheels of the cannon above them
We're rolled.
The hoofs of the horses struck deep in the
mold,
And trampled and tattered at fall of the
night
Were the peoples OF white.
They lay in the meadow distilling their
sleep
TIL the soldiers were wrapped in a slumber
50 deep
That the call Of the bugle would never I'M
close
To visions of glorv their lids of repose
The mist drew a veil Ger the brows of the
dead
And the peoples were red.
Both scabbards and saBers have crumbled
to dust
And roses have bloomed from the bay
onet's rust,
But unbleached by the sun, and uncleansed
by the rain,
The crimson of blood must forever remain
On the blossoms that c'<i the battlefield
spread.
For the peoples are red.

WAYS OF TURKISH cENsoRs.
Violation of Their Rules Is Sure to
Bring the Most summary
Punishment.

1t is well for those having business
with the Turks to have good under
standing of the laws and regulations
in force in the sultan's domain if they
would avoid trouble, says foreign eX-
change. An honest German merchant
met with a sad adventure a few weeks
ago on account of something which he
had not dreamed Officiating the laws
of the Turkish censor. The German
was in the porcelain business, and
the only thing that he ever thought of
writing was entries in his ledger. But
he got an order from a Turkish mer-
chant for $4,000 coffee cups, and he
filed il, and straightway he became
violator of literary laws. He had
packed up the coffee cups in old Ger
man newspapers, and that settled it.
The Turkish censor seized the whole
shipment. lie insisted on reading each
newspaper, and only after he had be-
come convinced that there was neither
intention nor danger of smuggling m
suits of the sultan or of his harem into
the country of the prophet was The
shipment released.
Now the German is wondering
whether. if he packs his next shipment
in straw. the Turkish censor will hold
Il up as being a reflection on his mental
furniture

had similar experience, it may in
terest them TO learn how such trouble
can be avoided.
In caring for my heifers, have had
them carded two or three times week
and when doing so, have handled their
bags and teats carefully from either
side, so that they became familiar with
such handling; so when they came in,
they were not frightened at an attempt
TO milk them. But to them the act of
milking was a new thing, and they
would be sometimes restless, and some
would spitefully kick. In such cases.

prove effective. took a chain and put it
over the back and around the body

effective; sometimes one trial is silffi-

The Jungle and the Leeches.

Overhead the branches of the trees

places spreading downward so sowly
that men are forced to crawl under
then on all-fours. The track is mere
thread of running water passing
through a tunnel of greenery. and as
each slow mile is traversed the size
of the path shrinks and the stream is
diminished in volume. The sum- which
now is soaring high above the forest,
is powerless TO warm the dank at
mosphere in this natural vault, says
Blackwood.
Shortly after midday a halt is
called, and the white men and their
followers seat themselves on powders,
with their drenched legs drawn up
out of reach of the running wafer,
and wait for the struggling baggage
bearers to arrive. A busy search is
made in every fold of each mans
clothes for lurking leeches, and the
brown or green creatures, with their
bodies erect and their pointed tips
waving inquiringly in every direction,
are hacked TO pieces with wood knives
or are shriveled up forever by a drop
of tobacco juice. Here and there on

denly into the room. threw down $40
and said, sarcastically: I'd like to get

house returned home from business
trip in the west, kissed his mother af-
fectionately. went to a room in
Young's hotel, in Boston, and blew his
brains out. The death of j IL. Mark
ham is said TO be much like that of
those ALREADY mentioned, although 1t
was reported by his family as the re-
suit of an accident. He shot himself
through the head while on voyage
from New York to Liverpool. John
Dobbie. Moses Crane and Fred Codsoe
all shot themselves through the head,
and no reason could be discovered for
their doing 50. The last name on this
sad list is that of Young girl Mar
iorie Howard. also a member of the
Newton high school. who threw her
self under locomotive at the Faneuil
station of the Boston d Albany rail-
road in the spring of 1899.
Spring is said to be the time of year
when suicide. are most often attempt
ed. They outnumber the marriage IL
censes issued. A well-known physi-
elan states that there are twice as
many suicides in the spring as at all
other seasons combined There are
also more divorces and less number
of marriages at this time. Summer
is the season when the greatest num-
Der of the latter occur. During 20
days this spring nearly 400 persons
are said to have attempted suicide in
this country because of disappoint-
ment in love. Politics is thought to
be a great factor in furnishing mo-
tives for this crime.
If morbid people could be induced
to spend a greater amount of time
each day in thinking of something be-
sides their own affairs, their egotism,
which is, after all, the worst charac-
teristic of many of them, would
shrink somewhat in its proportions,
and new interests in the things OF this
present life be substituted for gloomy,
selfish retrospect. When one consid-
ers that nothing is gained by rushing
off into another state of existence be-
fore being ripe for it, it is hard to UNI
derstand how people can take such

she eyer-increasing number of
those who take their destiny
in their own hands and antici-
pate the regular progress of the
ways of Providence is attracting at
tention to an extent unthought of
heretofore. The crime of suicide is
one over which civil law seems to
have no jurisdiction. The only trans
gressor who can in any way be
reached by its penalties is he who
has failed in his attempt to rid him
self of his material body. and punish
ment for failure to commit murder,
even on ones own self, seems rather
travesty of the purpose for which
our laws are enacted.
The insurance companies are en-
deavoring to wrestle with the prob
lem with varying success. If they
refuse to pay claims in the case of
those who have taken their own lives
it will no doubt serve as check and
the privation of their benefeiaries be
only another case where few suffer
for the general good. But it viii
hardly stop the evil, for there is a
sickly, self-pitying sentimentality in
a person who rushes out of life before
his time even when he thinks his act
is to result in benefit to those whom
he leaves behind. The shock and dis
grace as well as sense of personal loss
cannot be eounterbalanced by any
pecuniary benefits accruing to be
reaved families.

himself in any way it is much better

A method often used is called cleft

before the time for them TO grow.
Hence we must wait until the tree is
