For The HERALD.
Tiocano, Texas, March 4.-The
crops hereabouts are holding out
wonderfully, though needing rain
badly. Some of the cattle men
are seeking other places to carry
their herds, If the dry weather con-
times. Although the grass is en-
tirely gone, the woods are green
with mesquite and huizache, and
the stock are keeping in fairly
good condition on the leaves of
those trees. Farmers say if they
havE a good rain in a week or two,
they will make an average crop.
The enthusiasm about cotton has
we'll nigh died out. Planters do

The idea was very forcibly i'm

He snarls at the postmaster on re-

Such is the man who will beg,

it and then abuse it. Abuses the
postmaster BECAUSE he fails, on ac-
count of the distance or. hardness
of his correspondent, to get a let

not be beyond reason. 1t is t0be

someday and eliminate the kinks

The increase over 1887 was 3O.2 per cent. The most noticeable in crease ill wages paid was one. Of .3.S per cent, in the Wire and Wire Goods" industry, which paid to Con necticut employees last year S5S1 ,S9o 2G. Three industries showed decreases in the amount of wages disbursed as con- pared with 1899. In the shoe indus try. the decrease was S.1 per cent. in the silver and plated ware business, 5.S per cent, and in the rubber trade. 4.I per cent.
 In the introduction Commissioner Back remarks: The industrial reviy- al which started in Connecticut in 1886 has swept forward to the present time. The period covered by this re- port has enjoyed greater prosperity than any of the folii. preceding years The reports of the savings banks of this state show almost without excep- tion q material increase in the number of depositorS and the amount of depos- it's. Whether this wave of pfospe rity has reached high water mark CT will mount higher is q matter of conjec- ture. From present indications. if the coming year is as prosperous as the past, the people of the state will be fortunate. Already there are signs of something of a decline in the
 woolen and silver and plated ware h. duStrieS in this state. Whether these are temporary lulls. time alone caIl tell. But it cannot fairly be expected that the industrial business of Connec- ticut can be held up to as high. an
 average business right along as has
 been transacted here in 19OO.'
 OneNof the new departments is that
 of s.New Construction During the
 year ending July ]. 1900, it appears that 245 new buildings were erected by 173 different manufacturing con- ; cerns at a cost of S1 ,949. 1o4. exclusive of machinery. Employment has thereby been afforded to 3,965 addi- tional persons unon whom probably 12,- eco others are dependent.

 Bridgeport leads in new construc- l ton with thirty-nine additional manu- | facturing buildings, erected at cost
 of $307. BPS. They afford employment 1 for 336 hands. Hartford, while eN-

influence and black man in employing or furnishing workmen, would accom- plish much for employers and em- pleyes.'
 In the realm of industrial statistics, the report shows a steady, continuous development of nearly all Connecticut industries. Ut furnishes further evi- dence that Connecticut is the most complete and ingenious industrial sec tion of the world.'' Tor the first time the bureau presents tabulated ratios giving the percentage of the labor cost in the value Of manufactured products of the state. The general average is 23.5 per cent, varying from 11.9 per cent in leather goods to 42.3 per cent in cutlery and tools.
 Seven hundred and twelve estab- lishments reported-the average number of their employees for the fiscal year 1900 as 1OS, ,7S2. The average number of days in which these establishments; were in operation was 297.4, and the gross value of the products was S;2O9,- :}96. .534.55. Of this amount SI49, IFS, 5S7.75 went to the wage earners whose pay avera geu rl.52 per day, or $4o2.Uf for the year.
 It is interesting to note that the highest average daily wage rate in any classified industry was S3.23 in cer- tain machine shop, while the lowest average was 55 cents in 2 hosiery and knit goods establishment where young girls were employed. The average daily pay in the cotton industry was SLOT, as compared with $2.24 in the carriage and carriage parts" busi- ness.
 The total amount of wages paid during each of the last five years in 514 ablishments. from which the bureau has collected statistics each year, shows q striking increase. The amount disbursed to wage earners in these establishments during the last fiscal year aggregated S3S. .695 GAG. 30 During the same period in 1899. the identical establishments. paid to their employees the sum of S35, ,5533.35I.T1, an advance of S.S per cent.

 The bureau has also undertaken to furnish 0 classified list of all the ar ucles manufactured in the state, as some criticism was directed against statement in last years report that "COnnecticut industries are so widely diversified. so ingenious, and so spread out over the entire state, that they are the pride of her citizens and the won- der of the world" The names of thousands of articles manufactured in the state are alphabetically classified, and the list is far from complete.
 Another feature of this report that has not appeared in any of the .preced- ing reports of this bureau is the chap ter dealing with strikes and lockouts. A tabulated- list of tifty-one strikes is given. showing the names of the or ganizatiOnS, the names and locations of the firms. the number involved, the duration and cause of each strike, and the results. Says the commissioner: If the presentation of these facts shall call such attention to the strikes and lockouts that legislation is enact ed or policies are adopted which may decrease and do away with strikes and lockouts, and lead to more amicable methods of adjusting differences, then the work will have greater than q historical value
 The data concerning labor organi- cations is continued from last year. There is added this year information regarding the time of the original or ganization, the years of the largest and smallest membership, present member ship.> the benefits provided. the strike benefits paid, the total benefits paid, and total receipts The total receipts of the organizations from all sources was reported as S9O96S.21.

Once a goyerness Of some cousins of his. scions of the ducal house of Mecklenburg Strefitz. lived in grand, solitary castle planted in the middle of boundless plain of sand like a tent in the desert. Henry Vladimir von Mecklenburg- Schwerin. who was there on visit to his cousins, had taken violent dislike to the gorerness. who objected to his rather free-and-easy manners with her noble pupils. One Sunday morning the children started with her in q car Tiage to drive to the little church q few miles away from the castle. Mime De N-, the goyerness, was on the front seat with the two countessss, and Duke Henry Vladimir had installed himself on the back seat. More than once she felt as if something queerwas going on behind her, but when she looked around the boy was stiff and solemn, looking the other way.
 At last the party reached the church, in front of which little crowd of mo- ble neighbors and peasants had assem- bled. Henry Vladimir jumped out first and gallantly offered his hand to the. governess. She thought this un- wonted politeness rather strange, but on jumping out her skirt and one or two petticoats fell at her feet, where they softly arranged themselves in a sort of balloon, from which she emerged little more dressed than Venus Rising from the Sea-" but not much. On the morrow the young Meek lenburg- -Schwerin was sent home with the brand of shame supon him.
