TRIcHINA. eastern physician, DR.. j.
A Read, Is disposed to ridicule the story
about the pork disease resulting from the
deposit of a species of worm. He main
tains that the little worm which has caused
80 much terror never did destroy human
life, and that it is an old resident in the sys-
tenn He claims that these worms do not
Inhabit the muscle of the hog more than
that of any other animal or of man himself,
and advises the community. If they desire it,
to eat pork, provided they do not eat it raw
or tainted. A good suggestion of worthy
docter is, that even if they were any reason
to fear these insects, they are killed by cook
ing, salting, smoking, &c.

How MIRRORS ARE MADE.-Probably
few of our readers have clear idea how
the huge mirrors that are so fashionable
and expensive are made. The plate-glass
which comes from France or Germany is
first polished by means of rouge brushes !;
next bag containing the common potato,
reduced by pulverizing process TO an al
most impalpable powder is applied to the
glass, the potato dust escaping through the
meshes of the bag; then plate foil is
spread upon setting bed of marble, and
on it is placed the prepared quicksilver !;
the glass is then laid on the top of this and
pressed down with heavy weights. Here
it remains about twenty four hours, when
it is examined, and if found free from flaws,
Is ready for use

EXPORTS AND IMPORTS. figures
hardly bear out the gloomy forebodings which
have been INDUCED relativeto our foreign and
domestic trade. From and including 1855,
We have exported in excess of our imports
every year, and in FIVE Of the years 50 includ-
ed, 1865, 80, 81, 90, '63, our exports of
strictly domestic produce alone were in ex-
cess Of total imports. For 1864 our exports
of domestic produce were within IS, 222, 3SS
of our importations, while our total exports
were sl2. i'll ,02l greater; and this notwith-
standing our imports jumped in that year to
S32S, ,5l4, $50 from 1852, lST, ,5S7 in 1868,
and S205, $40, ,s23 in 1862. The exports
were greater in 1864 than in any former
years excepting 81, SO, go, 81 and '63.
and the domestic exports We're only exceed
ed by 1859, so, '6l, and '63. The record
shows that we are improving.

MARCH WINDS.

Listen, Kitty. my darling.
Here by the fresIde bright
Do you know what the winds are saying,
Abroad in the gusty night?
Moaning under the Windows,
Like the voice Of child that grieyes-
Making the NAPLES shiyer
And creak at the cottage caves
Listen, Kitty, my darling
The winds are singing a song.
Of the Spring that is softly stealing
From SUMMER lands along.
The snowdrops smile as they hear it,
A smile for the Spring sweet sake;
And the shy little violets whisper:
We hear we are broad wake So
No n att er, Kitty. my darling,
Tho the March winds drearily blow,
I am sure that the daisies are stirring
Down under the shelteriug snow
In spite of the clustering weather,
The crocus is budding again;
And the daffodiIls whisper together,
AND wait for the April rain.

have always considered advertising literally
and long to be the great medium of success
in business. and the prelude to wealth.
And | have made il an invariable rule, too,
to advertise in the dullest time as well as

Salt Manufacture in the United States.

Twenty-eight million bushels of salt are
annually consumed In the United States,
of which amount about one half is imported
The quantity of salt manufactured in this
country is steadily on the increase, and per
haps in ten years will become sufficient to
supply our wants without any importation
The Saginaw Salines in 1860, yielded only
10000 bushels, but in 1865, the product
was $3.50, 900 bushels The Onondaga
works have increased the supply TO the a.
noun. of over half million for the last FIVE
years. The Pomeroy and Hooking Valley
works, of Ohio, exhibit heavy increase.
The annual product of the famous Kama
wha Salt Works of Virginia (which have
been operated for many years. during the
last few years before the war, was about
3.o09,0 ,080 bushels The salt regions of the
Kjskiminetas river, in Pennsylvania, yield
annually about ,0O0, 900 bushels 4 very
productive salt well has lately been discov
cred in Saint Mary's Parish, Louisiana.
Discoveries and developments of salt in
Missouri. Texas, Illinois, &C.. fully justify
the expectation that within few years we
shall be independent of foreign countries

ton.
