The British Hoard of Trade has recently
published a report on agricultural wage,
in th<- United Kingdom. According to the
showing made, (here has been an upward
tendency In the rate* until at present thi?
class of labor Is probably belter paid than
for many years. It is hardly practicable
to inak- a comparison between British and
American ugricultur.il wages, since the
systems of employing su-h labor in the
two countries are dlfferMit. and for the
further reason that there I* not atalluble

period ■ mbrat ed In the report of the Brit

Taking all such con.-tderatlon* as rent,
lodging, etc.. Into u count and reducing
the British wage lo a nearly the Ame ri
al) standard as possible, It Is found that
th'- uveraga wage of an agricultural la
borer to (Ireat Britain Is approximately us

it. IV; ncotland. ( :*:. atal iri Ire

persons In this country to make a falrlj

before a great While, when a broader and
more accurate comparative vl.w of tin

One fact with respect lo agricultural
labor seems to be common to Great Bri
tain and the United State*, und that Is
the Increasing scarcity of It. For some
mo iths In all parts of this country then
ha* been a complaint of lack of farm
hand* and Inability to *eoure them In
the Wheat fields of the West and the
cotton fields of the Roulh the labor strin

come from Great Britain; and the reason
Is no doubt the same In each Instance;
the cities are drawing the population from

The ease ot Ellis H. Roberta. Treasurer
of the United States, is attracting conskl
eraids attention. Tbe case is summed up
In a paragraph in o report made by a
referee appointed by the New York Su

Truax. as follows: "That between the
said tith day of November. 1833. und the

of sakl plaintiff (Mt*. Jane L, Hrmlka).

The increase of suicides is furnishing
the ground work of M*mo very Inter flng
theories as to the in.-cn of nelf-dcstru*'-
tlon. among which Is to be found th#* qus
firm recently propounded by Prof. Get iwtn
Smith of Toronto. "I#* marriage the anti
dote for the suicide habit?’* Prof. Smith
attributes the Increase in the numtxr of
suicide* to the higher clvilixa* lon. an I In
exputmdlng that theory says "M itikind

plied dewiret# and bight* m I aspiration

Commenting on Prof Smith’s iheorv
several well-known New York women
hold to the view that mu triage is a cor
rection of tho suicide evil, since it sup
plUa tin* "counter-irritant" to the loneli
ness which loads to Introspection, and
finally to morbid conditions in the ell
bate. In a recent article in the Nineteenth
Century, Reginald A Skelton, while . I
milting that he can furnish no
tory clue to the motive* which usually
prompt suicide, believes education, wound
ed vanity, a kinging for luxuries an l th.
mod**rii tendency to eschew religion an*
responsible for much of the trouble. Thus
the theories art* advanced and the discus
sion proceeds.
In attributing the Increase In sUteldc* to
advanced civilisation, how doe prof
Smith account for the vast numt*er of
such cases among the Chinese un i other
Oriental races? A Chinaman wishes to
pay off a grudge against an enerry, he
commits suicide on his doorstep. This
must evidently he attributed t* supersti
tion and fanaticism. With regard to tho
marriage theory', statistics no doubt bear
out the truth of the assertion that the
percentage of married men who kill them
selves ts far less than that of
But Is It not also true that the percent ‘e
of well balanced men who get mnrUil is
far greater than that among thase who
remain single? If eo, that would furnish
