AMERICAN WORKMEN
Are Better Paid and More Efficient
Than Those in Other Lands.
Report of British Commission After
an investigation of the Iron and
Steel Industry of the United
States.

Labor conditions in the iron and
steel industries of the United States,
in contrast with those in the United
Kingdom and European countries
generally, are discussed at great
length by the commission appointed
by the British Iron Trade associa-
ton, which recently visited the
United States and thoroughly studied
its great iron and steel manufacture
ing establishments. The report of
this commission, according. to some
extracts which have reached the
treasury bureau of statistics, points
out that in the United States the
iron and steel industries are face to
face with conditions that make both
the dearest and cheapest labor at
present to be found in the world
the dearest in point of nominal re-
muneration and the cheapest in in
dustrial and economic results.
"The workmen at American mills"
says the report, "are generally sup
posed to be working much harder
than they do in England, but this is
not u view. After much ~nvers
ton with many men in various
branches who had been employed in
similar works in England, the con-
clusion is reached that the American
workmen do not work so hard as
the men in England. They have to
be attentive in guiding operations
and quick in manipulating levers and
similarly easy work. They are also
much more DESTROYS of getting out
large quantities than in England.
They are better paid and more reg
ular in their attendance at the
works, loss of time through drink
ing habits or otherwise not being
tolerated.
american workmen generally
aspire to the higher grades of la
bor,' continues the English report,
leaving the purely manual labor to
workmen from other countries. Thus
it is that around American blast fur
naces the American is found in a
decided minority. He may be a fore
man, master mechanic, blast engin-
eer, locomotive driver, or stove ten
der, but he will not work 81 hours
per week shoveling ore or wheeling
scrap. For these duties are en-
ployed in the south the negro and
at the northern furnaces immigrants,
mostly Irish, Slavs or Italians.
"On this question of higher grade
work and higher grade wages of
American workmen, attention is
called to the fact that in certain
works Polish and Hungarian labor
ers were receiving 81 to $1.5O per
day, while American rollers working
alongside of them were receiving on
the average $12 per day of eight
hours"

K PROBLEM L v
Due to Fungus Parasites Has
Now Been Discovered.

The agricultural department has
been studying certain diseases which
attack plants and, for some of them
at least, has found a cure. The Sat-
urday Evening Post farmers
who raise peaches. sea island cotton
or cowpeas, that they need no long
er fear peach leaf curl" "yellows,"
little peach disease" cotton wilt"
or pea sickness"
All these diseases are due to fun
gus parasites, which, year after year,
have been slowly but surely spread
ing through the country. Besides
the external symptoms, they man.
ifest themselves by causing knots to
form on the roots, whereupon all the
small ibers become distorted, swol-
len, and incapable of fulfilling their
proper functions, and this leads, of
course, to the death of the plant.
Every attempt to kill the fungus by
the ordinary ways of treating the
soil, and the plants with fungicides
failed entirely, and growers were in
despair when the department hit upon
the cure.
When it was found it was so astound-
ingly simple that the only wonder was
that no one had thought of it before.
1T seems that in many cotton fields. and
in many peach orchards, in many pea
patches, there were often observed to
be one or more plants that refused to
lie with the rest and which survived
to come to bearing. When the seeds
OR cuttings-of these were sown in
the same soil, it was found that a large
proportion of the resultant plants
possessed the resistant power of the
parent. Repeating this process of ar
titicial selection again and again,
sooner or laterthere developed a strain
that was wholly resistant to the at
lacks of the fungus. When this was
done the problem was solved.

IN BED THREE MONTHS.

0olitic, Ind, Sept. 15.-Mr. W. A.
Terry, of this place, suffered for
months with a very severe case of
Kidney Trouble.
He was SO very bad that he was
almost confined to his bed for three
months.
He tried many medicines but says
he could not get any relief till he
commenced to use a remedy intro
duced here some time ago as a cure
for Kidney Trouble, the name of
which is Dodd's Kidney Pills.
Mr.. Terry says that the second day
after commencing to use this remedy
he could notice a very marked i'm
provement in his condition and in a
short time he was able to go about
again.
He is naturally filled with graft
tude 20 Dodd's Kidney Pills for the
immense amount of good they have
done him and says:
81 would recommend Dodd's Kidney
Pills to every sufferer from kidney or
bladder trouble for from my expert
ence I am sure they are the best
medicine to be had for all diseases
of this nature"

KNOWLEDGE OF PLANTS.
should Know What Their
Crops Need in the Way of Food
and Cultivation.

Prof. S. F. Johnston, of Purdue uni.
versity, writes: If we would be sue
cessful in the culture of Indian corn,
we must first know what the plant
requires in the way of food, water,
cultivation and climatic conditions.
Two of these lessons are early
learned, viz: the fact that plenty of
water must be had, and that the sun
must be generous in supplying heat.
We do not always stop to think just
why the water is so necessary. If we
did give more attention to this thought
we should be surprised. perhaps, to
find that the plant performs all it's
functions of growth, either directly or
indirectly by the aid of water and the
suns light and heat. No food can
be supplied in a form availa BILE to the
plant without first being broken down
and brought into solution by the ac-
ton of water. After the small par
ticles of rock and vegetable matter
are broken down and have passed into
solution they enter the very small
rootlets of the plant and are carried
along in the stream until they have
passed all growing parts of the plant
and nourishment has been taken out
with which the tissues of the plant
are built up. This stream of water
also serves to keep the cells expanded
and in growing condition. When we
have come to understand fully the
structure of the plant we shall see the
Importance of carefully guarding all
the conditions which influence it's
growth. Cultivation of the soil will
have a new significance when looked
at from this viewpoint; and the fact
that there is only about half enough
rainfall in the state of Indiana to pro-
duce maximum crops will also make
us want to understand better the
growth of plants, that we may in
crease in all possible ways their de-
velopment. Thus if we have a work.
ing idea of the extent of the root sys-
TENS of crops, know whether they are
plants that get food readily, know
whether they demand large quantities
of a particular element in the soil
in short, if we know something of
what the plant is and what it demands
as well as the means for supplying it's
demand-we can work intelligently.
In production, therefore, of natural
products, constant care and thought
are absolutely necessary.

TOWN INVADED BY BEES.
After Causing q Stampede from
Candy Store They Are Traced to
ROOF of Apartment House.

The entire police force of Austin, a
Chicago suburb, is engaged in running
down 100000 disturbers of the peace
which have almost taken possession of
the place. Not an arrest has been
made and the residents of the village
have taken the law into their own
hands.
While the police force have not sue.
ceeded in locking up any of the law
breakers, they have had frequent bat.
ties with them, and a number of blue
coats have been wounded. In numer.
Gus instances they have been forced to
abandon their helmets and clubs while
engaged in an attempt to make arrests.
Then the whole village would engage
in fight until it had securely locked
itself up in cellars and dark places.
The disturbers were brought to
Austin by a former resident of Glen
Ellyn, and in the country are known as
bees. They have been causing trouble
in the suburb for the last three weeks.
Swarms of them would be found in
various places. First they would be in
a church, then in some store, and then
again in the trees.
Children were stung by the score.
and finally they organized "beeing"
parties. The bees were not to be driv.
en- off, but more children went home
with swollen faces and hands. Adult
parties took up the work started by
the children and were stung for their
pains.
AS a last resort the police were no.
tilted, and an order was issued to ar.
rest or drive all the bees out of Austin.
More stings and no arrests. The n
tire department followed a stray bee
one evening and lost all trace of the
insect. Residents thereupon lost all
faith in their police.
When a swarm took possession of
the bakery and candy shop of Fox &
Co., the bee troubles came to a crisis.
The employees of the store fled to the
street. Then the invaders moved into
B. j. Hoyt's hardware store, at 200
Park avenue. Employees and shoppers
ran out of the building.
An attacking party, armed with fire,
tin pans and insect powder, finally
drove the insects out and followed
them to the roof of the apartment
house owned by Edwin F. Abbott, at
Park avenue and Ohio street. The
nor venturesome climbed as far as
the edge of the roof and located six
large bee hives.
Further investigation disclosed the
name of the owner'of the bees. He is
John P. Weibler, who is employed in
Chicago, but also is interested in an
apiary. Mr.. Weibler resides in one of
the apartments and claims he had per-
mission from the owner of the build
Ing to keep the bees on the roof. He
says he keeps them to observe their
habits and not for commercial pur.
poses. The other residents Of the
building threaten to resort to the law
to get rid Of the insects.

EpIGRAMS.

1--we merchants are a reproof to an
tiquatei ideals.
Convenient shirt waist boxes are
made of grass fiber.
Advertising in the local paper in
duces home patronage.
The most successful merchants are
the most persistent advertisers.
The local newspaper is the telescope
through which people gaze at the mer-
chants stock.
Two agencies for enterprise are the
up-to-date merchant and the a~head-of-
date newspaper.
Advertising is to business what sea-
soning is to food--it encourages
healthy conditions.
When business is poor, advertise to
make it good; when business is good,
advertise to keep it good.
The best evidence of business resus-
citation is the di~scarding of the habila-
ments of dead methods of advertising.
If the merchant will let the people
know what kind of stock he keeps, the
people will let him know the color of
their money.
