chalky substance, which among man
ufacturers is known under the namo
of "tsrys alJoa." 1t was originally
imported from Dorbyshire, England,
but is now found elsewhere, is about
one cent and half per pound, and
is as we have said, largely substituted
for sugar, which at the present time
costs from thirty to thirty-two ccnts
per pound. We are credibly informed
that in some Of the largest manufac-
tories there are used of this earth
from 1900 to 5000 pounds per week;
and in the smaller establishments,
whore great gains are sought by the
Nroprietors, it is introduced into their
Nppounds with recklessness that is
an lutely fearful, when the conse-
auens resulting from its consump-

some aboriginal blacks was obtained,

No wonder little Charley was tired of

sit through two long sessions day and
remain perfectly quiet, especially when
his quick eye detected some roguery go-
