WHAT CAN BE DONE.

There isn't much comfort in talking to be done in the face of the solemn price of coal, but it may be well enough to call attention to the settle ment of the recent controversy between the mine owners and the miners in Scotland. The mine owners claimed that they would have to reduce the wages of the miners owing to the low price they were getting for their coal, and they asked that a reduction be made in order that they could obtain some profit from the operation of their mines. They first asked for reduction in wages in May, claiming that the min- CTS should take Cd. less than the cur rent wages, which were 6s. day. Af- ter going over the books sf the associ- ated coal owners the arbiter decided that the miners should accept 3d. less than they had been getting, and this reduction was to take effect from the middle of July. This was not satisfac- tory to the mine owners, and they soon appealed for further reduction, show ing by their books that daily wage of 5s. 9d: was not justified with the rul ing price of Scotch coal. After another examination and full hearing on both
 sides of the question, the arbiter de- cided that wages should be reduced an-
 other 3d., bringing the scale down to 5s. 6d., the figure the associated coal
 owners asked for in May.
 In commenting on this report, the English press seems to have not the slightest doubt that the miners will ac- cept the reduction and will work for 5s. Cd. until higher price of coal justifies
 their asking for an incerase Then, it
 seems to be thought, they will not be told there is nothing to arbitrate. This incident indicates that arbitration will work we'll when both sides are in a proper frame of mind.

HENRY \. PARMELEE.

Those who knew the state of Henry S. Parmelee's health have feared that his days would not be long in the land of the living, but they Were hardly pre- pared for the news of his sudden de- parture. He was making a brave fight against increasing weakness, and it was hoped that in more favorable climate he might find more strength. But the struggle has ended, and he is at rest.
 Mir. Parmelee was a man of great strength and ability. He had large ideas and was able to carry them into execution. He was diligent in business, and his work in the great en- terprises with which he was connected was most efficient. He was quick in perception and decision and vigorous in action. New Haven owes him much for the extension and improvement of her street-car system, in which work he has been a conspicuous and forceful figure. He has also been prominent and useful in other large business en- terprises in this region.
 As MT. Parmelee fought well in his early manhood for the Union. so he fought in later years for success in whatever he undertook. He attained success in larger measure than is given to most men. He held his opinions strongly and he strongly expressed them. He was firm in contest and firm in friendship. He feared not, but was inclined toward justice and fairness. He was kind and helpful to many. He loved the sea. and had healthy and hearty interest in tie sports of the world, as we'll as in it's more serious activities. He didn't love hypocrites or humbugs, and he was an uncommonly sincere man himself.

POOR GRAIN CROPS IN GERMANY.

Although the United States will not feed the world'' this year it will prob- ably be able to sell it's surplus wheat and corn at good price. Fortunately we shall have some to sell, as the crops here are large ones. Some other coun- tries are not so fortunate. For in- stance, Germany. Consul General Ma son writes from Berlin that the abnor- mally cold, wet weather which prevail
 ed during May and June continued through July and so far into August as to assume in Germany the character of an impending calamity to the cereal harvests of the year. Until the end of July the season, although remarkably late, was still hopeful, and the condi- ton of the growing crops on the fif- teenth of June and July was in general quite above that of the preceding year. But as the time came for the wheat and rye to ripen the cold, wet, cloudy weather kept back the harvest long af- ter the usual date, and, when the work of gathering in the grain finally began, greatly complicated the task of saving the crops. In many fields the rye and wheat was cut and laid in swaths or in shocks, exposed to rain and storm, un- til the grain was seriously damaged by sprouting. The first samples of the new-crop rye which have been received at the Produce Exchange in Berlin are almost without exception damp, more or less unripe, and, even when artif- Icially dried, of inferior grade.

The Old c"untry Road.

Where did It come from. and where did it That was the question that puzzled us so As we wadod the dust of the highway that
 flowed By the farm, like a river-the old country
 road. We stood with our hair sticking up through
 the crown Of our hats. as the people went up and And we wished !r our hearts, as our eyes
 fairly glowed We could find wbcre 1t came from-thc old
 country road. We remember the Deddler who came with
 his pack Adown the old highway, and never went
 back: And we wondered what things he had seen From some fabulous place up the old coun-
 try road. We remember the stage drivers look of
 delight And the crack of his whip as he whirled
 into sight. And we thought we could read in each
 glance he bestowed A tale Of strange life up the old country
 road. The movers came by like a ship in full
 sail. With rudder behind. in the shape of a
 pail With a rollicking crew. and COW that
 was lowed With rope on her horns, down the old
 country road. And the, gypsies-how we'll we remember
 the week They camped by the old covered bridge, on
 the creek How the neighbors quit work, and the
 crops were unh0ed. Till the wagons drove off down the old
 country road. Oh, the top of the hill was the rim of the
 world. And the dust of the summer that over 1t
 cur!ed Was the curtain that hid from our sight
 the abode Of the fairies that lived up the old coun-
 try road. The old country road! I can see it still
 flow Down the hill of my dreams, as 1t did long
 ago, And l wish even now could lay off my
 load, And rest by the side of that old country
 Toad.

sOMELUCKY CHILDREN.

Benevolent people have given many poor ci:y children a good time in the country this summer, and few poor country children are now going to have a good time in the city. The city is Boston, and the good work is going to be done by the Theodore Parker Memo rial. The idea of bringing country chill dren to the city is borrowed from Co., penhagen philanthropists. who annually bring six or seven thousand country children to their city and entertain them for week or ten days. This con- tact with the stirring life. the historic places, the museums and monuments of a great city they find highly stimulat- ing to these young minds. When the children return to their country homes it is not only with happy and grateful memories, but with quickened mental powers and patriotic sensibilities. The experiment of the Parker Memorial, M ES1NNA4A5 "ANii PoACAAho anu tGSNA- CTS in Milford, New Hampshire. is to be on a much smaller scale Forty chill dren of that manufacturing village, of both sexes, and with ages ranging from ten to fifteen, have been invited to spend Saturday in Boston. The chill dren, chosen from the public schools, will be such as have never seen a great city and were not likely to. They will be accompanied by Milford clergyman and several teachers, and be met by the Parker Memorial staff at the station. By means ot large vans they will be taken to points of historic and other interest Bunker Hill, Old North Church, Tea Wharf, the tenement house district, Faneuil Hall, the old State House and its collections, the Old South, etc.
 It will be great day for the Milford children who are lucky enough to be chosen. They will have much to tell when they get home
