The Manufacture OF Tobacco.

It is reported, on reliable authority,
that in Manila, besides the large num-
Der of men and boys engaged in the pre-
paration of cigaritloS and cigarettes, there
are over four thousand women employ
ed in the great tobscco-roll msnnfac-
tory. More than eight hundred of
these women work together in the same
hall; they sit on the floor in the Hin
doc fashion, and each woman daily re-
ceives certain quantity of the three
kinds OF tobacco required in the making
of cigars, and out of this she is obliged
to furnish a specified number of rolls of
equal size. About three years time is
necessary TO prepare the tobacco leaf for
the consumer. The health of the work
men employed in the manufactures is
generally very poor, owing to the
mephitic emanations they are daily
Obliged to breathe. By their constant
handling of the plant, the poisonous
substance is absorbed through the pores,
which snfsebles their constitution and

The Lobster.

When @ lobster shakes hands with
you, you always know when it takes
hold, and are exceedingly pleased when
it gets done. They have small features,
and lay no claim to good looks. When
they locomote, they resemble small boy
shutting off in his fathers boots. They
are backward, very. They even go ahead
backward. They occasionally have a
row like other people, and in the melee
sometimes lose a member, but have q
faculty of growing out another. Their
process is patented both in this country
and in Europe, which accounts for its
not coming into more general use with
the human lobster, 80 to speak.
A lobster never comes on shore unless
he is carried there by force. They are
afflicted with but one disease, and that
is boils. There is more real excitement
in hsrpooning whale, or in having the
messels, than there is in catching lob
sters. The fisherman provides himself
with 8 small hencoop, and has therein,
IS enticers, several dead fish. He then
rows his boat to the lobster ground
(which is wster) and sinks his boat to
the bottom, anchors it to a small buoy
toAe tTom eiSut W teu years olu WILL uo
and then goes home. When he feels
like it again, say in the course of a week
or two, he goes back and pulls up his
poultry-house, and if he has good sue
cess he will find the game inside the
coop. As an article Of food, the real
goodness of the lobster is in the pith
Very few persons relish the skin, and
physicians say it is hard to digest. We
therefore take the lobster and boil il
until 1t is red-dy to eat. Nothing is
better for collie than boiled lobster. II
will bring on case when cucumbers
have failed. For q sudden case, we
advise them crumbled in milk. Eaten
at the right time, and in proper quanti-
ties, Holsters stand second to no fruit

The opening of the European and
North American Railroad will furnish
continuous railroad communication from
Halifax to San Francisco, with the ex-
ception of gap of seventy-fve miles
between Amherst and Truro, which is
expected to be finished in July, 1872. 1t
is proposed in Europe to construct, or
perfect by union of lines already con-
structed, continuous route of travel
by which the journey may be accom-
plished from London to Bombay with
out change of cars; and it is estimated
that the trip may be made in precisely
five days, sixteen hours and forty-six
minutes, though in cases of unusual de-
tention it may be necessary to add a
quarter or half an hour to this time. The
contemplated route is by way of Dover
Straits, through France and the Mont
Gents Tunnel by existing lines to Trieste,
and thence through Austria, Turkey,
Persia and Beloochistan to Kurachee,
and 30 on to Bombay. To complete an
unbroken line of rail, it will be necessary
to tunnel the Straits of Dover, project
which has for long time received
the attention Of engineers, and which
has been favorably reported on again
and again by competent authorities.
Recent Investigations have led to the be-
lief on the part OF some engineers, that
the tunnel could be opened to travel IN
two or three years, instead of requiring
nine or ten for the work, as was at first
supposed and a similar reduction has
been made in the estimate of the cost,
originally set at ten million pounds ster-
ling. Biologists say that the tunnel
will run for the whole distance through
gray chalk that can be scooped out as
easily as Dutch cheese. The distance is
about twenty-eight miles, The Mont
Gents Tunnel is not quite eight miles
long, and was fourteen years in process
of construction, costing over $l5,000,-
600. The Hoosac Tunnel in Massachu-
setts, will be little less than five miles
long; but it is being bored through
finty granite rock, much harder thar
that penetrated by the Mont Gents ex-
cavation, and has been longer under
way, though the work has not beer
steadily prosecuted on it. 1t is not i'm.
probable that tunnel uniting England
and France may yet be carried through
but the work will probably require more
time and greater expenditure of money
than the latest estimates call for.
