How, THE Factory HELPs THE

but at the same time market. We at
the South should be willing to learn q
lesson from the West in this matter. We
make cotton. Can we not also make q
home market for it, and thus make the
factory help the farn? On this point
the following remarks from the New
York Tribune are iworthy of thoughtful
attcntion:

order whereby Nature conducts the COM

which the ether supplies; and to bring
the two into such close connection that
exchanges can be made with the least
possible cost, is a saving that must COM

Beverly, in Massachusetts,, is known
as Bean Town" No yirtuous citizen
of that place thinks of passing Sunday
morning without baked pork and beans
tor breakfast. Formerly they went to
the different bakeries Saturday nights,
each man with his beau-pot. Each pot
was numbered with check as received
and the number given to the owner, and
crowds would gather around the bakery
door Sunday morning, each mau calling
his number and receiving his pot. But
now they have pottery in the town,
aud each householder has had his bean.

initials baked into tho sides, and the
plan works beautifully. The bakers
charge six cents for BAKING beans, and
it is no mean source Of revenue.

ADVANTAGES OF CRYING.-A French
physician is out i'll long dissertation on
the advantages of groaniug aud crying
in general, especially daring surgical
operations. lie contends that grooming
and crying are two grand operations by
which nature allays anguish that those
patients who give way to natural feelings,
more speedily recover from accidents
and operations, than those who suppose
it unworthy man to bctray such symp-
toms OF cowardice as either to groan OF
cry. He tells of man who reduced
his pulse from one hundred and twenty.
