A. Artisans Whe Work for Starvation Wages and Never Strike. The State department has received a report from Consul Pettus, stationed at Ningpo, giving statistics in regard to labor and wages in China, He says: “Wages have not increased here for years, and strikes never occur. Trouble is rarely experi: as laborers are confined to districts where they are employed. No laborer is allowed to be employed outside of his dis- trict; he ay, by general consent, join labor- ere of another district—not otherwise. “House servants are better paid than any other class of laborers. They are intelligent, end have to be honest and faithful, otherwise they will fail to procure letters for good service, without which they will be thrown out of em- ployment.” He appends a table of wages of laborers and artisans in his own district. Barbers make £4 amonth and blacksmiths #5. Biock cutters, boat builders and boutmen get 30 cents a day. and bricklayers 20 cents. Makers of bricks are id $4.2 month. and cabinet makers carpen- prs and carvers, 22 to 30 cents a day. Coffin Makers are paid nts a day for their grue- some toil, and chair bearers get 30 ceuts a day for carrying their superiors. Coolies, the com- mou laborers, receive but 20 cents a day, and female cotton spinners even less, 10 cents. Clerks get $5 a month with board and cooks get the same. Dyers are aristo- rats among the laborers, receiving #8 a month, and embroiderers get 30 cents a day. A farmer is paid from #3 to €4a month, with his board. Fishermen are paid from $15 to $20 for a season. which lasts about two months. Fan makers are paid 30 cents a day and gold and silver workers from 25 cents to 40 cents. Harvesters get 20 cents a day, painters 21, plumbers 24. potters the same, rice cleaners and reapers 25, salt makers 20, silk spin- ners 30. and female silk winders 14 cents. Sailors receive trom,#4 to $8 a month, with board, and soldiers 25 # month. with um- forms. Straw-hat makers get 12 cents a day, ckers 10 cents. ter sorters 10 cents, tea tu. tailors Lt cents, with board, and umbrella makers 20 cents.

The following strange history has been whis- pered abroad concerning one of the principal dressmakers of Paris. a woman whose taste aud elegance of design in certain details of fem- inine costume are well known. It appears that there exists in Paris a law forbidding any house that employes work-people from forcing them to work after a stipulated hour, which is, I think. 10 o'clock. The pressure of orders in- evitable to the exhibition season tempted Mad- ame X——to break this law. Her work rooms were in full tide of operation one evening near midnizht, when an ominous summons sounded at the door. followed by the dreaded man- date: “Open, im the name of the law.” in an instant the goods and sewing implements were whisked out of sight, the lights were ex- tinguished, and the work women were hidden here, there aud everywhere. One girl, a deli- vate little creature, was hurriedly thrust into ® great wardrobe bung with dresses, the door closed and locked upon her and the key re- moved. ‘The visit of inspection of the police revealed nothing, and as soon as they bad taken their departure the girls were released from their hiding places.

GRANT'S SISTER. The Story She Told Last Sunday Evening. From the New York Sun. The attendants at the Sunday evening serv- ice at the Hanson Place Methodist church, Brooklyn, listened to a narrative about the lust days of Gen. Grant which has not before been made public. After his sermon the pastor. the Rev. Dr. A. B. Kendig, introduced to the audience Mrs. C. W. Kraemer, a sister of Gen. Grant, who told of her efforts during the last twenty-tive years of her brother's life to secure his conversion. Mrs. Kraemer is the wile of the Rev. C. W. Kraemer, who was min- ister to Switzerland during Grant's second term, and she was the general's favorite sister. She told the congregation on Sunday even- ing that aftor her own conversion in 1561 she became convinced that it was her especial duty By her rayer and her influence she did everything in [ power to thatend from that time on. At abont the time of Gen. Grant's first maugura- tion ske beheved her object almost gained. He was parti a impressed with the weight of responsibility that had come upon him, and ibe passage in the Scriptures which his lips touched when taking the onth of office made a deep im- ression on his mind. During his first term Mrs. Kraemer was much in his company at the White House, and he often discussed with deep feeling the subject that was nearcet his sister's heart. During his second term his sister was | the wind vd to her by a traveled | abroad with her husband. and they kept up a regular correspondence, largely upon religious subjects, When the general was taken sick Mr. and rs. Kraemer were still abroad. Reports of is condition were cabled almost daily. When it became serious her husband was taken ill, and Mrs. Kramer was unable to leave him to go to her brother's bedside. aily, she said, the cable brought word that tho general was unconscious and very low. But she haa full faith that he would rally, and that ber prayers would yet be answered. ‘True enough, he did improve, and he lived for some weeks, Finally, in a fit of deep despondency, Mrs. Kraemer, one day in her garden at Berne, prayed most earnestly for the granting of her heart's desire. And there came to her, as she described it to her hearers Sunday night, a deep peace and solemn conviction that her prayer would be answered and that her brother would not be allowed to leave the world without making his peace with his God. Within a day or two there came a cable message from her daughter in New York telling Mrs. Kraemer that a great spiritual change had been experienced by the dying man and that in fact her prayers of twenty-five years were answered, Some time later Mrs. Kraemer and her hus- band sailed for New York and they arrived the day after General Grant's death. In tulking the matter over with Dr. Newman she learned that her brother's change of view of spiritual things took place on the day of her strange experience in the garden 3,000 miles awa. Mrs. Kraemer’s narrative made a strong impre sion on the large audience, which listened to her with rapt aiteution. se — She Can Talk a Mile. James Payne in London News.

The Father and Brother of Murderer Hillman Tried to Save Him. Hardly had tho sound of carriage wheels died away as the officers who buried the Murderer Hillman at Woodbury, N. J., drove home, be- fore Ephraim Hillman,the dead man’s brother, and the aged father of the murderer seized a shovel each and out in the pouring rain com- menced digging the mud from the grave of the son and brother. When the box containing the cofiin was reached, assisted by two other male relatives of the dead man, the four lifted the body to the surface of the ground and carried it into the house. No time was lost in unscrew- ing the lid of the coffin, and soon the body of the murderer was disclosed to view. While the deputies were enjoying their dinner a few nuiles away, satisfied that their work was well executed, the family of Hillman were bending over his coftin, weeping hysterically , and call- ing for their boy to speak to them again. Mrs. Hillman rested her head on her boy's face and sobbing kissed the cold forehead and called to him to speak to her. The father and brother of Hillman stood by crying bitterly, while the wife of the executed man and his sister bent over the foot of the coffin and sobbed aloud, The face was black and wore an expression of intense ago t by the slipping of the rope, was still fresh and bloody. “Around the seek of the dond man could be distinetly seen a thin, blue circie, the imprint of the rope asthe man strangled to death.

The speed of fishes is almost an unknown quantity, it being, as Prof. G. Brown Goode says, very difficult to measure.

Its head is conical in shape and its fins fit down close to its body like a knife. binde into its handle.

In allotting hours of sleep it is impossible to adopt auy maxim or uniform custom, The due allowance varies with the individual, Age, constitution, sex, fatigue, exercise, each hus its share of in- fluence. Young persons and hard workers naturally need and should have more sleep than those who neither grow nor labor.

From: the Lewiston Journal. Very evidently the ice business on the Kennebec river is not all profit, if the experi- ence of one of the ice operators is to be taken as the rule. In 1882 certain well-known Ken- nebee capitalists purchased ice houses ou the river which were filled with ice, some 12,000 tons. paying $16,000, Although the ico was worth a good figure, they did not sell it, until now the product has so decreased in value that not over £2,000 worth of ice could be picked out, and it would cost more to get it than it is worth, The owners paid $400 a year land rent, and the other day sold the ice and buildings for the small sum of #490, tho tools for #125 and the boiler for $160, thus getting about $00 for that which cost them $16,000 in the beginning, besides the land rent. A prominent ice man estimates their loss at $19,000. soe Water Color Paintings. From London Public Opinion, Mr. J. J.
