Calf With Half a Dozen Legs.

Councilmen Jonas r. Kern dow,
mt Doylcstown, has a monstrosity
In the form Of n six-lcggcd calf.
II was dropped Thursday Of last
week. Contrary to mos calves Of
the multiple leg variety, this calf
has its legs reaching the ground
and not two of them hanging
around on the shoulder or some
other part Of the body. -Four OF
the six legs are hind legs. Two OF
these are united, the other two arr
separated. This calf Is as gay ~
its many legs will permit and IL
seems to have intelligence enough
to handle the whole half-a-doxcp
legs without gc'ting tangled In tho
efiort.-Livc Stock Reporter.

Pity

the world is the baby, all
dimplcs and JOY. The most
pitiful thing is that same baby,
thin and in pain. And the
mother does not know that a
little fat makes all the differ.
cnce.
Dimplcs and JOY have gone,
and left hollows and fear; the
fat, that was comfort and
color and curve--all but pity
and lovc--is gone.
The little one gets no fat
from her food. There is some.
thing wrong;itis either her food
or food-mill. She has had no
fat for weeks; is living on what
she had stored in that plump
little body of hers; and that is
gone. She is starving for fat;
it is death, be quick!

Wisconsin. In louisiana the average wage is Civ
en- as scots, with the better classes Of labor aver
aging 81. 90 per day. The figures from Mississi p
pi are interesting. Here are some Of the figures,
from 5octs to 75cts per day, from 5octs to 65cts
per day, from scots TO 75cts per day for common
labor, SI.oo to 5000 per day for skilled labor
women s125 to 81 so per week, girls for factories
$500 per month. (In Council Bluffs and Sioux
City the average wage for factory girls given at
$500 per week.) In another place the statement
is made that white labor receives from 5octs to 81
50; coored labor from 25cts to 81. 90. These hg-
ures tell their own story, they are backed by the
authority Of the Illinois Central railroad, and
supposedly as correct as possible. We con
stantly hearing of the wonderful growth of indus
tries OF the new south, and this is taking place al
most entirely at the expense Of northern labor.
There are many grades of labor requiring little or
no training which can be performed by the colored
girl of the south at $500 per month"; just as read
NY as by the northern girl at $500 per week.
There many grades Of labor which can be done
well by the colored man at 25cts per day as by
the northern laborer for SIPS.
10 go back to the original proposition we be-
lleve we have proven that the negro question is
not local one; we believe we have shown that
cheap colored labor is constant and ever increas-
ing menace to the working men of the north. The
question arises, what has all this to do with
the ballot? We agree thar cheap labor is always a.
menace to higher priced labor. but wherein would
you increase the price Of coored labor by giving
the negro the ballot? This question answers it
self Give man the ballot make him self -respect-
ing, educate him, and he will not work for IS or
o'cents per day. This is the only logical solution
OF the cheap coored labor question: and unless it is
thus solved the northern working will find the
price of his labor steadily on the decline
Justice and right and love of liberty tell that
the negro should be treated better than he is the
constitution of the United States demands that he
should be, and we have seen that the promptings
of self interest tell us the same.

Moat House, Vantage.

Anne mansion on it. He has offered $3.50
a nacre for this property, or about $780,
500. But part Of the property is under
the control of the charity commission
ers, and they have raised some technical
difficulty which has delayed the deal.
The price he has offered is a good one
and the persons interested are anxious
to close with it. 1t is about $40 an acre
more than the market value.
When the boss drives abroad he al
ways sits behind fast trotting cob, and
when he goes from Vantage to Let
combe. or vice versa, he Is obliged to
slow down in order to pass these cor
ners safely. Undoubtedly his chief OBJ
ject in spending this $32. 500 is that he
may cut this road straight, or nearly
so, and go at full speed from Moat
house to Vantage.
1t staggers the simple. provident folk
of these parts to find man willing to
spend such sum on such folly-as
they regard it. Possibly it may make
a difference of eighty seconds in the
run from his mansion to the town.
Close to Letcombe, where the public
road skirts along his present estate, Mr..
