FARM LABOR IN GUATEMALA.
What Seems to BE Generous Pay
Dwindles When the Deprecated
Currency Is Considered.

Guatemala, little republic with an
area of $4,000 square miles and a pop
ulation of considerably less than 2,0O0,-
100000 of which more than half are
pure Indians, has, according to our
consular reports, been legislating in
regard to the minimum OF wage that
can be paid to farm hands. The gov
ernment served notice on the plant
ers that wages paid farm hands must
be not less than $3.50 day, instead
of Is cents and one dollar, which
were the ruling rates. Now, that
sounds like a good deal of an in
crease, says the Boston Herald, and
S1.50 a day, which would mean nine
dollars a week, seems a high rate OF
wages for farm labor in Central Amer
ica But this money is Guatemalan
currency, not gold In gold, wages of
S1.5O a day would mean fair pay,
but in Guatemala $1.50 Of the depre-
ciated currency of the country IS
equal to only about nine cents in cur
own coinage. This decree, therefore.
raises the minimum of farm wages
from four and one-half to six cents
per day to nine cents day. Even the
higher rate can hardly be considered
liberal, for, assuming that there are
800 working days in the year, THIS
would mean that the Guatemalan farm
hand is to be paid for a years work
s27, or less than is paid in many in
stances for farm labor in our own
country for a single month.

POTATO CULT IN ENGLAND.
Great National Organization Suggest
ed to Encourage Cultivation of
Only the Best Varieties.

There are nearly 10000, 900 potato eat
ers in the British Isles, and the majority
of them do not get the full value out Of
the tuber because of bad cooking and the
culture of bad varieties, says the London
Mail
This year has seen a remarkable re-
crudescence of the attempt to produce
a perfect English variety. 1t has been
successful in at least three new sorts,
and their disease-resisting power, their
great fruitfulness and their eating quail
tiles have led to eXtravagant prices be-
ing paid for single tubers-prices which
range from $500 to $4,000 a tea. These
are, of course seed growers prices. The
prolific nature of the new varieties will
make them available to most growers
next season, and then will follow the
usual deterioration due to careless Gull
ture and the variation of soil.
The suggestion has been made, how
ever, that now is a fitting time for the
formation of a national potato society
to further the cult Of the potato. A
central council will be formed for Lon
don, with the county committees, whose
duties will be to conduct trials of new o.:
not generally known varieties. Coupled
with this will be systematic and prac-
tical endeavor to secure for consumers
steady supply of the best potatoes
grown in the kingdom.
The Gardener is leading the movement
on the subject, and there is every pros
pect of the society becoming tangible
benefit to growers and consumers. What
is even more urgently needed, however,
is an association to impress upon house
wives the fact that potatoes are tenn
peramental and require varying treat
ment in cooking The reform OF res
taurants is apparently hopeless, be-
cause they treat the potato as vegeta-
BILE which can be cooked and kept hot
Indefinitely.

NEGROES SANG AT WORK.
And Entertained French Opera Sing
ers In the Streets of New
Orleans.

The French opera singers were Specta-
tors of picturesque street scene night
or two ago in the vicinity of the old
French opera house, says the New Or
leans Times-Democrat. Bourbon street
was being paved with asphalt, and the
work was being FASTENED so as to have
that portion of the street near the opera
house accessible for carriages by the
time of the opening of the French OPP
era season.
On this account an unusually large
force of workmen were engaged, and in
order to push the work to an early COM
pletion the men worked at night, huge
torches being used. In one block, be-
tween st. Louis and Toulouse streets,
more than 100 men were working.
Every one familiar with the negro
knows that. in so far as he is able, he
sets his work to music. 1t is fact often
marveled at that the negro, when he is
singing or chanting in sort of rhythmic
mood. works with more ardOr than under
different conditions. And if an extra de-
mand is made on the negro workman he
sings or chants the louder
The members OF the FFencn opera, Or
at least many of them, heard for the first
time the real melody of the negro voice
that night 1t was that swishful, poetic
thing caricatured in the ragtime of the
stage, certain subtle, indefinable some
thing which no composer has ever been
able to fit to the well-measured octaves
of musical arrangements. 1t was the
tuneful, heaving call of the levee, the
mellow sunset cry of the cotton fields.
The f1aring torch, the bustling hither and
thither, the heavy fall of the implements
of toil-all those things gave exquisite
tone to the setting.
