castle; but the explanation is that the
semi-aquatic vegetation which for
merly occupied the land decays so
slowly that cultivated crops cannot get
nitrogent rapidly enough for their
needs. When the manure is added,
however, it sets up a fermentation
which converts the nitrogen bearing
materials into a more soluble, and
hence available form.

We are going TO fix it so that employers

Australia as a Manufacturing Country

Yes said the labor commissioner. 1--WE
are doing a great deal OF manufacturing.
and We shall do more when we adopt the
protective tariff law. We have all sorts of
work. especially In the colony of Victoria,
where there are boot and shoe factories,
machine and iron works and all sorts of
mills. In Queensland there are sugar mills
and wooden mills. There Is some cloth
made In Queensland which will compare
faVorably with any in England. There are
five WOODEN mills here In New South Wales.
We have shipbuilding yards. furniture es-

and lived better than his fellow in any
part of the world. He brought out a late
government report by Mr.. 7. A Coghlan
on the Wealth and Progress of New
South Wales" and showed me the wages
the men were getting in 1900. Here are
some of them:
Carpenters. blacksmiths bricl1layers and
masons are paid 81 25 per day; plasterers
and painters receive 81; common laborers
$i.62, while boilermakers get $50 Wool
washers get S1l week; farm laborers,
$3.50 a week, with board, and shepherds
about $500 a year. The wages of house
servants are about the same as with u.s.
Girls of all work get 50 % per week; house.

We also talked of the cost of living, and
from the same source 1 was given the

low as in the United States and In MANY
cases much lower. We pay cents for a

And, speaking Of women and tobacco,
the retail tobacconists of this town have
been rapidly replacing their male sales
men with young women during the past
year or so. Perhaps one-third Of the
leading cigar stores on Broadway now
employ female clerks. In all cases the
young women behind the cigar counters
are distinctly and decidedly prettyindeed,
not few Of them are absolutely beauti-
full And the prettier the girl in the cigar
store the more trade the establishment
gets The cigar dealers have been quick
to find out that men rather like to be
handed their cigars by young women with
roguish eyes and pretty teeth. The deal
ers have ascertained, moreover, that they
sell a better class of goods with young
woman statesmen in charge than they ever
did when their counters were presided
over by male statesmen. The dealers at
tribute this to the fact that no man likes
to ''show himself up" by purchasing a
cheap cigar, say, from a pretty girl with
a winsome, battling smile on her face The
girls thus far installed in the Broadway
cigar stores are cordial and winning
enough in their business transactions with
customers, but they have already learned
the gentle art Of freezing the professional
