WACES IN EUROPE.
A Short Talk to New York Working
Mon by tho Now York Sun.
There i only one country in Kurope in
wliich Hie wujcs of liihor nrc within a
liiilf of wluit they are in thin country.
I'll it is (Jreat llritiaii.
Vii s in (Jciinany, lYunee, IScliuiu
ami Swiichti land nrc not one- third of
what they are; lure. Those of Italy arc not
one (jiiai ti-r.
Out; ilnty of esoveininenl is to protect
tin; l.nltor of its citizens. Last year heap
foreign lahor was iinoi ti-l into the
I'li'itee! States ill the shape of manufac
tured floods to the valii'-of ifi;!)-,-. I ;.7lS,
This was 11 great wrong to American In,.
Imr. In that immense amount of imports
permitted ly our insutlieient and elt-fec-
tive tarilf, the lahor of women employed
in the .Manchester, Kngluud, cotton mi Is,
whose wages do not average i0 a year,
came into competition with the higher
pi iced labor of our southern and north
ern cotton spinners. In that mass of im
ports was the lahor of German factory
workmen averaging less than $115 a year
and that of women averaging less than
$50 a year.
Munich is a gallery and centre of art.
German women with as many as six
childrcd saw wood in its streets for l"i
cents a day. May a merciful G"d sink
the United States 10,000 feet under the
sea he f ore that heinous spectacle sled be
come an incident of our civilization!
Nearly $700,000,000 worth of the star
vation labor of Kurope, in the form of
manufactured goods, was imported into
this country last year. That which came
from Jiclgiuiu in bales and boxes repre
sented the wages of 22 scuts a day for
women and 4:5 cents for men, and the
higlie-t priced labor in those cargoes of
llelyium steel anil iron represented wages
less than i0 cents per cay. Compared
with these the wages of Carnegie's nun
at Ttraddook Hie the incomes of princes.
Italian labor, jn Julian merchandise,
was imported info this country last year,
in competition with American labor, at
juices that should till sensitive souls
with horror, and alarm the thoughtful for
the future of the human race. The pay
in the cotton factories of Naples is 20
cents a day; of Neonolilan mai-ble and
granite cutters, from 40 to 50 cents a day.
ni'-cording to skill; of coachmen, o0 cent.;
of women in lace factories, 10 cents, and
girls. 7 cents; of soldiers in the army, $2
a month. Of all the workmen in the glass
works of Italy, only the skilful blowers
receive as high of $1 a day, and laborers
on farms, hoeing or making hay, from
15 to ly cents a day, working from si:u
to sun. Quel save America from such
wages!
In the Swiss silk goods which came
into our half protected country last year,
iii those $700,000,000 of imports, was the
skillel labor of men at 41 cents a cUy
and of women at 20 cents, both compet
ing with the silk weavers of Patterson,
New York, Philadelphia and Cheney.
Glasgow, in Scotland, is the steamship
faetoiy of the world, and its blast furnace
owners and iron rollers howl for free
trade day and nigh;. Of the families in
that manufacturing Sodom 11,000 out of
100.000 live in one room, and half of the
men and women in t lie city are chronic
ally out of work. That one room for a
family of father, mother, daughter and
sons tells what wages are in Scotland, and
how they drag humanity down into Ils
tality and misery.
r.rotherst the Mills bill t o reduce the
tariff is the first stop to that one room
for an American family. Fight it with
out delay and tight to its death; and
then make your tariff so protective as to
shut out cheap foreign labor ju the form
of manufactured goods.

FREDERICK IS DEAD
Ho Passes Away Surrounded by His
Household And Cabinet.
lb in. in, June 15. The emperor died
at it o'clock.
Potsdam, June 15. A bulletin is.-uiel
an hour before the emperor died said he
had In en lying for some time in a light
slumber, with wakeful intervals, during
which hi showed distinct signs of con
sciousness, lb; jjave no indication of
suffering pain. His pulse and breathing
were very weak. There had been no
material change in his condition during
the night. All the members of the royal
family remained at the castle until after
midnight. The empress did not leave
the castle, and at 4 o'clock n sinned her
watch at the emperor's bedside.
The death of the emperor has caused in
tense excitetement in this city. All the
members of the royal famil' and minis
ters were present in the death chamber at
Fredrichskron Palace, at Potsdam. The
emperor laid this morning in n legnthic
condition, sometimes rousing for a few
minutes. During the last hours of his
life he made several fruitless attempts to
make himself understood, lie died with
out a struggle, surrounded by all the
membeis of his family. The remains now
lie in the bed where the emperor died.
Von Werner sketched the; emperor's fea
tures af'er death. The (lag over the pal
ace was lowered to half-mast at 11:20
this morning. Prince Hismaivk arrived
at Potsdam at l-10 this afternoon, Huz

before the emperor died. Prince Bismarck
who presided at the council, was much
agitated,
SOME LATER FACTS.
Potsdam, June 15 5:30. Prince Ilis
marck and all the members of the minis
try, aides-de-camp and ollicers on duty
in the palace have been admitted to the
room in yhich the remains lie. The ser
vants of the household rt'!d soldiers of
the Lehr battallion were afterward allow
ed to enter and paid their last tribute of
respect to their master. The empress,
overwhelmed with grief, has withdrawn
to her apartments and is seen by no one.
It is stated the remains will be interred
within Fi iedemikiche, beside tiu.ye of
Frederick IV.
Official attestation ol the death and
cause of the death was made this after
noon. The will of the deceased, depos
ited in the achives of the minister of the
household, will be duly opened in the
presence of the minister of justice. The
issue of a prociarnation of William II to
the nation is not expected until after the
funeral.
Dancing.
Mj:. Editor: Dancing has been defin
eel to be the shuttling of the feet to music.
It is now classed by many among t lie po
lite arts, and as a passport into the higher
anel more cultured circles of seiciety. The
gentleman or lady who has thoroughly
cultivated his or her feet, is master of the
situation, while the poor, awkward fel
low who has sought to cultivate only his
mind, and store it with useful informa
tion, must stand in the back ground, and
look on the brialliant ball room pictur.',
and wish, and wish again, that he was
graceful that he could dance. Poor
fellow! how he regrets that he squand
ered so much ef his valuable time in try
ing to acquire an education, when it
might have been more profitably spent
in cultivating his lower extremities. All
nations have danced. The ancients be
lieveel that Castor ami Pollux taught the
art to the Luccdnemonians. IJut whoever
started it, it is pretty generally practiced.
The people of olden tiir.es hael the fesial,
the military and the ha'chanalian dances,
and queens and lords swayed to and fro
14 the gardens to the sweet melody of
music. In soue portions of our country,
in what is known as the finy.vod region
the young people meet together on Sat
urday evenings, at spine peignbor's house
when the m?nn is in her full, anel under
the inspiring strains of the banjo and
taiiiboriue, they chase the hours with fly
ing feet. Sorne pe ople are o constituted
that they cannot help danci,ig uherj they
hear music, they are spontaneous dancers
born that way. Ckitic.

FAMILY WATER SUPPLY.
A FRUITFUL SOURCE OF SICKNESS,
SUFFERING AND DEATH.
Iinptirltlf- Caught In IlcKcrvo!r for lUiln
Vutcr Mlncrul &ultuu-i- 1 ouixl lu
AVuter from Wtlli I'oUon from IaU
I'ljivs fouling of Uurai Well.
Pure wuttT is a life giving fluid, imparting
health ami vigor to all tho tissues, Into im
pure water is one of the most fruitful sources
of biekneas, suffering ami tli-atli, thorteiiii)
tho average duration of liunt;ut life by many
yeurs. A pure and ubuiuluut water supply
U therefore nn object of the fir.st iiMjorUiue-o
to every family 111 tho city or country.
Tin.- sources of supply are numerous. Many
families dept-nd iiiton rain water stored in
cisterns or other reservoirs. Under favor
able conditions tins id pure un 1 u hok-soiiio.
It is, however, liable to absorb dust, smoke
and other impurities in itx passage through
the atmosphere, especially over smoky cities,
and in case of the first bhower after a
elrought. When falling on tho wooden roofs
of houses the first rain washes oiX tho dust
and weutherbeut of tt swingles, and should
bo filtered before it enter tho cistern. Let
ter still, an automatic arrangement may bo
used which will collect tho lirst rainfall in
some shallow receptacle, and when this is
(Hied, will turn tho pure stream into the cis
tern. If then the cistern is divided iuto two
equal parts by a partition of brick laid in
cement, so arranged that the wuter which
enters upon one sido of the partition is made
to filter through tho wall of brick l.eforo
being drawn olf on tho other side, lite water
may t e relied upon as suiiiciently clean and
pure for ordinary uses.
VARIOUS lilXKUAL SUnsTAXCKS.
Most country itcoplo elt-j.eud upon the
ground water of springs and shaliow wells
tor their supply. 1 his is liable in its pns.sago
through the earth to absorb various iinnerul
substances, tho most common and trouble
some of which are tho salts of Iimo and mag
nesia, which constitute hard water. This
requires the use of a largely increased
amount of sonp in washing, und is therefore
much less economical than soft water. In
Glasgow it is estimated that the introduction
of soft water in place of hurel has diminished
the consumption of soap at least one-half.
Ilartl water also produces in many persons
derangement of digestion, chronic diarrhoea,
gravel and other inorganic t!i-josits. One
way in which the hardness of water may bo
lessened is by boiling it. Another method,
paraeloxical as it may seem, consists in add
ing lime, usually in tho form of liiuo wuter
or milk of lime. IJoth these methexls result
in eiaking up the chemical combinations
nnd precipitating the mineral smbstane-es,
which should then be removeel by filtration.
In cities and largo towns, tho usual soure-o
of supply is tho surfae-o v,aterof rivers anel
lakes. This is stored in artificial reserveirs,
ami distributed throu.-'i pijHis of lead or
iron. Where lead pipes are used, either in
bringing water from reservoirs or springs, or
in pumping it from wells into lmuscs, tho
lead is gradually dissolved, and a poisonous
comjxnmd formed, which when drank fora
sufficient length of time is liable to produce
unpleasant and oven daugerous results. A
cording to Professor Ma !-, wuter containing
one part of lead in one million parts of water
is suilicient to produce lead colic, wristdrop
anel other symptoms of acute lead poisoning,
while a much less quantity may cause irrita
tion of the digestive organs and loss of mus
cular control. Theso effects may bu pro
duced 'n one rqniber c'i t.a family cidy,
while all aio using tho water, and the other
escape, owing to a less degree of susceptibil
ity. The path of safety in this matter lies i-i
avoiding tho use of lead pipes as far as pes
sible; and in never using water for drinking
or cooking, which has stood in a lead pipe
for any length of time, but al ways taking
tho pi c-cauii.oii tr.sii to run oil or pumpoif a
sufficient quantity to completely empty tho
pipes. j
DECAVIXO ORGANIC MATTER.
All surface waters are liable to contamina
tion from deleaving organic matter, such as
deael leaves, bark and faeces of wood, frag
ments of rotten fruit and vegetables, dead
worms, insects and other small animals,
garbage anel animal excrement. Not only
this, but in all old ami thiekly settled
countries wherever eivilizatiem has massed
large numbers of human beings both sur
face water and ground water aro liable to
the still more serious contamination of foul
drainage, such as tho teachings pf farm
yards, cess pools, sink drains, 'privy vaults,
old graveyards and the sewerage of cities.
Dr. I. A. Watson, in a New Hampshire
board of health report, has given a vivid
picture of the fouling of a rural well from
theso sources, as follows: "Clustered on a
few square voejs of Jand aie ihe rarm build
ings, tka dwellings, wood shed, wash house,
horso stable, cow barn, sheep yard, corn
house, swine house, hen house, ?ompost heap,
e?ess pool and privy. All those are arranged
in a hollow square, and in their midst is the
farmer's well, with its curb( sweep anel
bucket or its cover, pipe and pump. Around
this center are concentrated all tho activities
of a New England farm. Birth, life and
death; bloom, fruit and decay, of men and
animals, of shrubs and treses, have transpired
here for a century. All the waste has been
dropped upon tho surface, there to accumu
late, decay and putrefy. The earth beneath
has become surcharged with animal and
vegetable wqsto. Tho wlaole establishment
is j esting upon and above a mass of the most
dangerous filth, ard this filth is being daily
leached into the bottom of the welL"
In water thus abounding in organic impuri
ties are found vast multrtude-s of animal
cplfe, which, rhen taken iutp the human
syslera, develop fiiij eu'ch frightful parasites
as tape worms, trinchinas and hydatids.
Still more to be dreaded are the myriad mi
croscopic bacteria, or germs of disease, which
breed and thrive in filth, and literally swarm
in impure water. These are the snuree of
such deadly pests as uip'mcet ia, typhoid and
malarial fevers and Asiatic cholera. Tiie
importance of some method of preventing
these dire results can hardly bo overesti
mated. Few persons have any adequate con
ception Pf the extent tq whiuh pollution in
water exists. Even iu wells, it is said by
competent observesrs that Ihe water iu uir.e-ty-five
out of every hundred is insanitary
and unfit for use. Io the water of cities the
evil are ereu greater. J. M. French, iL D.,
in Gooil Housekeeping.
Tho Results of riob Parmiii;.
Aordinjf to Mr. Mooker'ee, a JTln-.lo
authority on itise-icuiture, the results of fish
farming are reiimi Uablq. 'Profess.-.r Huxley
has stattsd that an acre of land will produco
ia a year a ton of grain or two or three hun
jiri3d weight pf meat; T"a saroe area of
fyater, hoyvever, will yielel a greater weight
pf fish in a week. There se?em.s to be no good
reason w hy fish should not Le made a more
important part of the diet, and with a welj 1
managed fish pond pp. every farm a large
amount of nutritious, valuable," and excel-
lent food could be easily produce?d at a very
imall espenae. The sub j?et is welj worth tha j
careful attention of thoughtful farmers. j
