Eight Cents Day, Wages.

Henry Smith Williams in McCIure's,
tells of the standard of living In Eng
land four centuries ago.
There was a time when a work
man in England received cents a
day as an ordinary wage, when skilled
artisans commanded II cents a day,
and when women worked in the field
at such tasks as reaping straw, hoeing,
planting beans and washing sheep, for
2 cents day; and wise student of
the subject has expressed the opinion
that the British workman of that day
was better off than he has ever been
since.
THAT sounds paradoxical. But the
explanation is this: The workman
who sold his services for s cents q
day could buy good beef or mutton for
III cents a pound; wheat cost him
on the average, only Is cents a bushel
He could get board for from u to 16
cents a week The pay he would re-
ceive for Is weeks services would
suffice to purchase a supply of suit
able foodstuffs, according to the stand
ard of his time consisting of wheat
malt, ana oatmeaD, to maintain his
family for an entire year.
Under these circumstances s cents
a day-increased to II cents in har-
vest time-was fair wage, and times
were good for the average workman"

At this point the bags, which are not
available for sugar traffic again, are
sold. A number OF concerns make a
business of buying them, mending the
rents made by the insertion of the
'tryers," and selling them to be used
for potatoes, onions, etc.
The work of the weigher at the

X-MAYOR'S STORY STRANGE
George Becker, Former Exc cutiVe of
Stoughton, Who Disappeared,
Found by Accident.

Stoughton. 1.-The story of the dis
appearance and return of Ex-MayoI
George Becker of Stoughton is
strange one.
Mr.. Becker left Stoughton two
years ago, no one knew where. Since
then his whereabouts have been q
mystery, both to his many friends ir
the city and to his wife, who finally
gave up hope of again seeing him
alive.
A few weeks ago, William. Gould,
an old friend, was in Conway Springs,
Kas. He met there a building con-
tractor, who, changed as he was, he
believed to be the missing mayor,
although the man denied ever having
been in Wisconsin. Mr.. Gould sus-
pected him of being slightly mentally
unbalanced and wrote to friends in
this city. A nephew was sent to
identify Mr.. Becker, and found it
was he.
Memories of his home in Wiscon-
sin were recalled to Mr.. Becker's
mind, and he was induced to return
to Stoughton.

LITTLE WASTE ALLOWED IN THE
HANDLING OF GOODS.
Practically Nothing Is Wasted In the
Shipment of Millions of
Pounds of Sugar, for
Instance.

Waste in the handling of goods is
one OF the biggest drains on modern
business. This is due to the fact that
we are continually working under the
stress of making time" Because of
this universal feeling of feverish activ-
ity 1t is all the more remarkable that
there is such slight loss in the hand
ling of the millions of pounds of sugar
that is imported every year from Cuba,
and brought to the American refneries
to be turned into white crystals.
A loss of three pounds of sugar out
of 100000 pounds handled in the
process Of unloading it from the
steamer, weighing it on the govern
ment scales and reloading it on to
freight cars doesn't seem a big loss,
but it is too big to satisfy the men
who buy the sugar.
OF the 100000 or 100000 pounds
of sugar lifted from the holds of the
tramp steamers that put into New
York or Boston or New Orleans. 1t IS
seldom that twenty pounds is lost by
leakage or other causes. This amounts
to .OO033 of / per cent Sugar Is put
up in bags weighing about 800 pounds
when full. From 10000 to 10000 bags
therefore are unloaded, weighed and
reloaded on to trains at the insignifi-
cant loss of twenty or twenty-five
pounds. This is ali the more remarka-
BILE when into each bag, as 1t is
weighed, three men did with long cir
cular scoops called tryers, which take
out samples of the yellow sugar.
Every grain that falls from the
scales or from the bags at any other
stage of their trip FROM the ship is
carefully swept up, SCI aside and
weighed by itself at tie end of the
day. 1t IS entered in the government
weigher's books under a separate
heading. Then the decks and hold OF
the steamer are swept for ship sweep
Ings." which also are weighed and
entered en- the books. The dock
sweepings" and the ship sweepings"
are analysed and tested separately.
But this isn't ALL During the trip of
a week or ten days from the West In
dies. the moist sea air often causes
the sugar to stick to the bags and
sometimes even to saturate the bags
with saccharine matter. The bags,
after being tied as thoroughly as pos
sibIe. are carefully washed, the water
being used to melt the raw sugar
