Iron Laborers in Scotland.

weekly earnings If he of the is married laborer are he from
18s. to 20 a, pays
from £5 to .CO a year for a house. If
lie is single he can obtain board and
lodgings for about 10s. a week. T hese
lodgings are on what might be called
the Box-aiul-Pox plan; that is, the
“night hands” occupy tlie beds by day,
and tlic “day bands" by night, beds by
this process doing double service. much Ot
course t he laborer cannot get meat,
as the prices of provisions an' the same
as in Glasgow. The mill hands earn,
some as high ns 35s.. but I found from
the books of the largest firms in Coat¬
bridge that the average weekly earnings
of an engineer did not exceed 29s., or
87. Boys and young men make from

concerning the food supply of Great
Britain and the Continent, as follows:
“At present tho food supply produced month’s in
Europe is equal to about eleven
consumption, but in a few years the de¬
ficit will be sixty instead of thirty days.
The present production and consump¬
tion arc: Grain consumption in the
United Kingdom, 607,000,000 bushels;
Continent, 4,794,000,000; total 5,401,

we must in the future look to some

rather than to the supposed surplus of
Russia, Hungary, Holland or Denmark.
Europe paid last year £35,000,000 for
foreign meats, and £85,000,000 for grqin,
a sum equivalent to a tax of £10,000,000
per month. In the United Kingdom,
the importation of meat, including cat¬

tons, value, £4,390,000; per inhabitant,

Arms and Legs.
There is more pity in a wooden leg
but more eloquence in an empty sleeve
I remember that in the second day’s
fight before Richmond, a captain by tlie
name of Coward saw tlie sergeant shot
down and the colors fall, and he caught
up the flag and waved it high and ball for¬
ward with a shout, and a cannon
came whizzing along and took off Lis
arm, and the colors fell again. Ho
caught them with his other hand and
kept on until he fell himself. I never
saw us brave a man with that sort of a
name tacked onto him. He always when
signed his name A. Coward, and
asked why he didn’t sign his full name,
he said his full name was Adam, and
when lie used to sign it that way at
school the boys called him a blanked
coward, which was worse, and he had to
fight out of it. Gen. Dick Taylor didn't
have much opinion of a man’s wanted legs. He
says his own trembled and to
ran in every battle, and he knew a brave
soldier who had to talk to keep ’em
steady : -‘Now, just look at you, gone to
j off shaking What again, with the in such enemy a a hurry mile
are you
about? Can’t you wait until they be¬
gin to shoot at you, you cussed cow¬
ards ?” and he would rap his knees with
his sword like he was ashamed of ’em.—

ADVICE TO A BRIDEGROOM.
A Hit of Advice that .Hay be Followed to
Advaataxe.
To become a husband is as serious -a
matter to a man as it is for a woman to
become a wife. Marriage is no child’s
play; it brings added care, trial, per¬
plexity, vexation, and it requires a great
deal of happiness which legitimately balance
springs out of it to make the
in its favor. Very few people live hap¬
pily in marriage, and yet this is not be¬
cause unhappiness is germane to this re¬
lation,-but because those who enter it do
not know, first, how to get married, and,
second, how to live married happily.
You have already made your choice—
wisely, I am bound to believe. These
qualities of character which have at¬
tracted you to choose as you have, should
make your love glow daily while you live
together. the second point: If wish

men are devoted to the house, and this
means a life of vexation and pettiness.
It gives no sort of stimulus to the
spirit. So the husband, who is out of

which affect the public good, than coming him¬
into contact with men greater

Educating Horses.
Horses can bo educated to the extend
of their understanding as well as chil¬
dren, and can be easily damaged or be¬ ru¬
ined by bad management. It is
lieved that the great difference found in
horses as to habits of reliability comee
more from the different management of
men than from variance of natural dispo
sition in the animals. Horses with met¬
tle are more easily educated Ilian those
of less or dull spirits, and are more sus¬
ceptible to ill-training, and consequently
may be good or bad, according to the
education they receive. Horses with
dull spirits are not by any means proof
against bad management, for in them
may often be found tho habits most provoking different
obstinacy, vicious of
character that render them almost en¬
tirely worthless. Could the coming gen¬
eration of horses in this country be kept
from their-days of colt hood to the age of
5 years in the hands of good, careful
managers there would be seen a vast
difference in the general character of the
noble animals.
If a colt is never allowed to get an ad¬
vantage, it will never know that it pos¬
sesses power that man cannot control,
and is made familiar with strange objects
it will not be skittish and nervous. If a
horse if made accustomed from his heels, early
days to have objects hit on his
back and hips, lie will pay no attention
to tho giving out of harness or of a
wagon running against him at an be unex- fired
pected moment. A gun can
from the back of a horse, an umbrella
held over his head, a buffalo robe thrown
over his neck, a railroad engine sticks,, pass
close by, his heels bumped with
and the animal take it all as a natural
condition of things, if only taught by be
careful management that he will not
injured thereby. There is a great need
of improvement in the management of.
this noble animal; less beating aud in .ro¬
of education.

Leaving Paris.

at Paris telegraphs as follows: ‘It is
hard to say whether her departure is a
