There is quite a little society war in England over the wearing of cockades by servants. When the custom began, the eockade on a servant's hat signified that dis master was either in the army or BAVY. military men are inclined to assert their Now it signifies nothing, and prerogative to the exclusive right to adorn their servants’ hats with cockades, As » solution of all differences, it hs been proposed that Parliament should pass an act imposing a tax on cockades Everybody who wants to put a cockade on a flunky's hat can then do 85 by pay- ing for the precious privilege.

His wages have not doubled, while those ef the humbler workman have more than quadrupled. The increase of wages of farm hands is ascribed in part to the de. mand for labor in factories vad on rail roads, and in part te the military service, which takes young men from the farms at the period when their habits are form. fag, and gives them a taste of town life from which they are never wholly weaned.
