Scotland - Among the laboring classes of the industrious Scotch, meat, except on Sundays, is rarely used. France - Of the people of France, seven and a half millions do not eat wheat or wheaten bread. They live upon barley, rye, buckwheat, chestnuts, and a few potatoes. The common wages of a hired laborer in France, are $37,50 for a man, and $18,75 for a woman, annually. The taxes upon them are equal to one fifth of the nett product.
