increase or decrease of farm wages
within the last twenty-five years?
Farm wages have increased over
200 per cent during the past sixty
years according to the Department
of Agriculture statistics on wage
figures running back to the Civil
War. The time was when a farm
hand could be hired for $1,000 per
month with board. Nowadays for
the same labor it costs $4,000 a
month. The peak was reached in

were they coined, and are they in
circulation now? What size are
they?
In the five years beginning with
1873 the U. S. mint produced nearly
36,000,0 900 trade dollars, issued with
the purpose of stimulating com
merce with the Orient. Most of
them were exported but enough
remained in this country to be en-
barrassing because of their similar
ity to the standard silver dollar, and
in 1887 Congress provided that for
six months thereafter all trade dol
lars presented to the Treasury
should be exchanged for standard
dollars and after that time they
should be worth only their metal
value. They are slightly larger
than the standard dollar, with a
metal value of about so cents. Near
ly 100000 of tlrem were redeemed,
and when the period of redemption
ended only 2S4.587 remained out

Choosing Laundry Tubs.

Every laundress should, If possible.
have three tubs, as this makes for
the greatest economy of time.
Where you cannot have stationary
tubs installed portable galvanized
iron tubs are excellent to use, as they
give long service, are light to handle
and do not rust-that is, they will not
rust as long as you are careful that
none of the galvanized coating is
worn or scraped off. But galvanized
tubs do not hold the wrlnger unless
fitted with wooden cleats and clamped
to the washbench. Some or the heav-
Ter tubs are provided with an at
tachment for holding the wringer.
Wooden tubs are practically things
of the past, as they are clumsy and
heavy to handle and hard to care for.
They must be kept damp else they
will shrink and leak, and yet water
must not be allowed to stand in them.
as the best of wood will warp and
split under such conditions. The
practice usually Is to keep wooden
tubs stored In cellar where moisture
lis more or less constant; or even to
keep wet sponge in the tup to pre-
vent drying. And then you have to
remember that constant moisture is
apt to attract reaches.
Fiber tubs are very light, easy 10
handle and TO keep clean, pu. gu
get a good quail ty they are more eX-
pensive than the other kinds, Fiber
tubs are made out of wood pulp
moided into shape and finished with
high iuster, and as they are made
in one piece, there is, no danger of
their leaking or falling apart.
OF course tubs come in many sizes.
The ordinary family laundry tub
should hold from 12 to Is gallons. as
1t will then be large enough to work
with without splashing.

However many women prefer wool
en- stockings for sport and street
wear in cold weather. and the thou
sand of young women who take up
quarters around college campuses
every Winter seem to be especially
addicted to the wooden stockings. The
fad for vivid stripes and checks pre-
wallis in some sections, while dark
hesh, light brown tints and grays
seem TO be the best choice in other
localities. once a girl rather hest
tated about wearing warm wooieu
stockings by day because of the dis
comfort and possible cold she was
apt to experience when taking off
these heavy stock ngs and putting
on thin silk stockings in the eve
ming. Now she plays safe, and wears
her sheer evening stockings over a
snug and comfortable pair of flesh
colored underhose.
Doubtless black stockings will con
tinue to be the choice of many WON
en-possibly until the passing on OF
the generation that was bred while
black stockings were still the rule.
There will be women who still feel
that there is something little more
conservative and decorous about
black stockings. But don't forget
that there have been times when
black stockings were unheard of.
and some hundred years or more ago
blacl; stockings were looked upon as
rather hashy innovation.
