WAGES IN TWO LANDS.

Comparison of Spain’s Working Mon and America. The poverty and low state of social life and civilization of the Spaniards are Indexed quite accurately by their wage rates. For instance, the average weekly pay of a bricklayer in Spain (Malaga) is $3.80; in the United States, $21.18; of a mason, $3.20 in Spain, s2l In the United States; of a carpenter, $3.00 Ux Spain, $15.25 in the United States; of a blacksmith, $3.90 in Spain, $16.02 in the United States; of a tinsmith, $3 in Spain, $14.35 in the United States; of printers, $4.50 in Spadn, $10.42 in the United States; of laborers, porters, etc., $2.75 in Spain, SB.BO In the United States. While rents and possibly prices of a few- native products are lower in Spain than in the United Stated, the difference comes nowhere equaling the wide disparity of wages. Moreover, in a comparison of this sort, the quality of living must bp considered os well as the nominal cost. Thus, lower rents nearly always imply inferior accommodations, and, to the average Spaniard, most of the comforts and conveniences in ordinary use here are unattainable luxuries. That the low rate of Spanish wages does really mean a proportionately low consumption and low standard of living is substantiated by one or two significant facts of another character; for instance, the per capita annual consumption of woolen goods in Spain is only nine shillings’ worth, as against eighteen shillings in the United States; of sugar, five pounds per annum in Spain, forty-three pounds in the United States; of beef, sixteen pounds In Spain, sixty-two pounds in the United States; of all meats, forty-nine pounds In Spam, 120 in the United States; of butter, none In Spain, sixteen pounds in the United States; of coffee, four pounds in Spain, 115 pounds in the United States.—Gunton’s Magazine.

The Cost of Freeing Cuba.

The United States are entitled to retain possession of the Philippine Islands if the peace commissioners so decide, for the cost of the war runs far into the millions. To free the stomach, liver and bowels from disease, however, is not an expensive undertaking. A few dollars invested in Hostetter's Stomach Bitters will accomplish the task.

Strange Insanity.

Mrs. Elizabeth Smith, in her “Memoirs of a Highland Lady,” tells of an old Scotchman who once took the strange whim that he was a turkey hen. He made a nest of straw in bis carriage, and filled it with eggs and a large stone, and there he sat, hatching, leaving his station only twice a day, like other fowl, and having his food brought to him. His friends had at last to watch a proper moment to throw out the eggs and put some young chickens in their place. Then the old man, satisfied that he had accomplished his task, went about clucking and strutting In the midst of his brood.

The Soldier's Return.

healthy farmer boy in the first flush of vigorous manhood; he came back a ghost of the self that answered to President Lincoln’s call for “300,000 more.” To-day he is an alert, active man and tells the story of his recovery as follows: “I was a great sufferer from sciatic rheumatism almost from the time of my discharge from the army. Most of the time I was unfitted for manual labor of any kind, and my sufferings were at all times intense. At times I was bent almost double, and got around only with the greatest difficulty. Nothing seemed to give me permanent relief until three years ago, when my attention was called to some of the wonderful cures effected by Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People. I had not taken mere than half a box when I noticed an improvement in my condition, and I kept on improving steadily. I took three boxes of the pills, and at the end of that time was in better condition than at any time since the close of my army service. Since then I have never been bothered with rheumatism. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People is the only remedy that ever did me any good, and to them I owe my restoration to comparative health. They are a grand remedy.”

No Good Map of Cuba.

Any landsman who tries to buy n good map of Cuba will learn the surprising fact that no such map has ever been made, and that even its coasts are for the most part either uncharted al all or charted so carelessly and incorrectly that the captains of vessels U; approaching any except a few of the island’s most important harbors axe forced to rely almost exclusively or such information as their own eyes and sounding lines will supply. This may not seem’ like a very important matter, especially to those who are accustomed to think of Cuba as an out-of-the-way part of the world, in which many characteristics of a new and unexplored region are ever, this lack of maps and charts shows the quality of the Spanish rule as clearly as do the murders of noncombatants or the wholesale misappropriation of public funds. As countries in the new world go, Cuba is very old. The Spaniards began to explore it In 1492, and since 1511, except for a single year, they have had uninterrupted possession of It. And in four hundred years they have not had time enough to spare from the task of draining the island’s resources even to survey its coast. The idea of adding Cuba to the civilized world never occurred to them. The only thought was to establish at Havana and In a few other places great fortresses, by which the island could be, not governed, but controlled, and anything that would help general commerce was carefully left undone.—New York Times.

Best Dressed Man in Peking.

Jung Lu, the new viceroy of Chihli, Is one of the most popular generals In the Imperial army. He has always bees a dandy in dress, and has a reputation of being the best dressed man In Peking, while the gilded youth among the Mancha nobility always copy his dress and swear by “Jung Lu’s style.” His horses and mules also have ever been the finest in Peking, not even excepting the emperor’s stud, and he loves to mount the most fiery and restive cattle when riding out This has led to several picked horses sent as tribute to the emperor from Kuldja and Mongolia, but which no one could ride owing to their untamed and restive spirit, being specially presented to Jung Ln by the emperor’s command. This is the man who now holds the responsible post of guardian of the dragon throne at Tientsin.—Peking and Tientsin Times.

Why He Hurried.

In some places the sight of a man In haste naturally excites remark, as In the following Incident reported in the Philadelphia Call: A son of Ireland waa painting a fence. His face wore a troubled look. Suddenly a smile shot aeross It, and dipping the brush Into the paint-pot, he began to paint faster and faster. “Why are you painting so fast?” asked a bystander. “You’re In a rush all of a sudden to finish the Job.” “Sure, an’ thot’e all right,” was hla reply. “I haven’t much paint left, an* it’s finishing.the job Oi’m afther before It’s all gone.”

PRIDE OF THE NAVY.

MAMMOTH BATTLESHIP ILLINOIS IS LAUNCHED. Steel Monster Will Probably Be the Most Powerful Fighting Craft Afloat —Nucleus of the “New Navy”-Cost Will Exceed «3,000,000. The mammoth United States battleship Illinois, one of the three latest additions to the navy and probably (he most powerful fighting mac-hine afloat, was launched at Newport News, Va., Tuesday under auspicious circumstances. As the steel monster trembled in its flight from earth to sea, Nannie Letter broke a bottle of sparkling champagne upon the vessel’s prow and pronounced the words that made it the godchild of the groat Western commonwealth and caused 25,000 people assembled to send up a cheer that could be heard for miles. Gov. Tanner of Illinois shook hands with the Governor of Virginia, the newly floated ship rose proudly from its. initial dip, and the launching was pronounced a success. From many points of view the launching of the Illinois was the most important of the kind in the history of the country. The vessel is the largest fighting ship ever floated under the Stars and Stripes, is the costliert ever built by the navy, and experts believe it-will be the most formidable warship ever put in commission by any power. There was never such a crowd in Newport News at any previous ship launching. They came from everywhere, from the North and South, and especially from the West. Long before the hour of the lauuching throngs began lo gather alwut the spot, and by 11 o'clock standing room was worth its area in nickels everywhere within a block of the Illinois. Enthusiastic

cheers greeted the arrival of the distinguished guests. Few in the vast crowd could hear the words spoken by Miss Leiter, but nearly all were able to sec her, and when she raised the bottle Of wine in her hand and clashed,.it against the steel of the Iwttleship, the action was a signal for their enthusiasm to break forth with full force. There wns a groaning from the timbers, the ground trembled as the thousands of tons of steel shot downward and the spray that was sent aloft arose higher thanl Che platform on which stood the little woman who had named the new craft. Shrieking whistles and a volume of applause which swept over the vast throng like a tidal wave of sound greeted the ship as it gracefully floated out into The stream. Again and again tumultuous cheers rang out for the Illinois us the officious little tugs fussed around and drew the marine champion back to the shipyard pier, where it will receive the finishing touches. The Illinois, with the Kearsarge and Kentucky, now nearing completion at Newport News; the Alabama, being constructed at Philadelphia, and the Wisconsin, under construction at San Francisco, are to constitute the nucleus of the “new navy,” which is to stand comparison with the best in size and fighting qualities. She is a trifle less than 373 feet over all, and her width' is somewhat greater in proportion to her.length than that of the other battleships. Ten thousand-horse power is to be developed by the engines which wall be used to propel the big ship.

NEGROES DRIVEN OUT.

White Miners at Washington, Ind., Drive Out Blacks. Dispatches from Washington, Ind., state that 150 miners from I’ana arrived there and routed the negro miners, who were compelled to leave the city at the point of revolvers. One negro who refused to go waa fired upon, and it is said was killed. Masks were worn by the miners, and the police of Washington were unable to arrest any of them, although a fire alarm was sent in and a number of citizens were sworn in as deputy sheriffs. The strikers visited every house in the city occupied by the negroes, who were brought from Kentucky a year ago, and the blacks were lined up, and then commenced a march west on the Baltimore and Ohio Southwestern tracks. Upon reaching White River, Winchesters were pointed at the negroes and they were given orders never to return to Washington; that if they did they would meet with more severe treatment the next time. A crowd of armed strikers visited the Cabel Company mines with the intention of capturing the negroes who dwell in a shack near the mines, but the negroes had evidently been notified of their coming and made their escape. The strikers fired several shots into the air, and this led to the report that a battle was in progress. A consignment of 200 guns and 100 revolvers has been received by the miners’ organization and hidden away. The provost guard is still on duty patrolling the streets. Reports that 150 more Alabama negroes were on their way there caused more bad feeling among the miners, and many threats were made.

During a thunder shower the other day the water supply at the home of Gilbert R. Ives of Sandisfield, Mass., was*shut off by lightning. The water was conducted to the house and barn by a pipe from a spring sixty rods away. A large tree standing near the pipe was struck and splintered, and then the lightning, entering the grouud, followed the pipe to the spring, blowing off the boards and stones covering it* to a distance of fifty feet. At the same time a ball of fire entered the bouse,, shocking slightly one of the inmates, but doing uo further damage.
