PENNSYLVANIA Industry.

Most oftic sheet iron used in this COun-
try says the Buern for October, is manu-
taciurcd in Pennsylvania, and is the pro-
duct OF the mines of that State It's uses
are various bat Tie bulk of it is used for
making common stove pipe. A small
quantity of sheet iron comes from England
and is sold in tbs market for about the
same price as tie native iron. English
iron pays dat; Of thrcc-quartcrs ola cent
per pound. Formerly all the common
shcct-;ron was imported from England,
but the quality of the American iron is so
much better that it is used in preference.
The finest quality of shectiron comes from
Russia, no other nation having as yet sue
cceJcl in producing shect-iron with SO
fine surface. Russia iron comes in sheets
four feet eight inches in length, by two
feet four inches in width. Most Of the
Russia iron intended for this market is i'm
ported direct, though a small quantity
comes through England. The importa-
tons amount to about 1000 packages year
ly, each package weighing $50 pounds. 1t
is used almost entirely for making stoves
and covering locomotive boilers. Russia
iron pays q duty of two a quarter cents per
pound,

SHORT LINE TO EURoPE.-Thc open
ing of the new rail connection with
Halifax, which is to take place for
,nally on the 18th inst, will shorten
, the present quickest time to Eng

interested intend to still further d.
minish the length of the sea voyage
10y building a road from Truro to
White Haven Bay at the extreme
eastern end of Nova Scotia, which
is about 1875 miles nearer Liverpool
than Halifax. White Haven ia a
good harbor, with sufficient depth
uf water to accommodate large
ocean steamers. A line of steamers
from Liverpool to that place, con-
Meeting there with a railroad direct

and quickest possible route between

Who Should MiIk..-Man or Woman!


am no Pathfinder, at least l have not
yet attained that name from my neighbors,
and person is very likely to attain such
if he is one; but I do object to women
milking, not because they don't do it right,
but because it is not a woluan's place to be
running after the cows.
Women who attend to their household
duties rightly, have no time to attend to
cows and believe if they have not the
time to attend to them, they should not
milk.
Cows will not do as well when they
have two or three persons working with
them as they will to have but one; and l
hold the woman is not the person to feed
the COWS, as all, no doubt, will admit, nei-
Their is she the one to milk them. l have
heard some men say: my wife says man
is too dirty to milk" and I didn't much
wonder at it by the husband That is a
very good way to raise dirty boys. Just
let them know that they can be too dirty
to milk, and they will soon get out of it,
for know from experience, land sad cxpe-
riencc sometimes, such as the COW lending
me her foot, kicking the milk all over me,
wien l had on my Sunday best,) there is
no fan in milking when it is done right.
l would say to my ftllow-man remember
the Old rhyme:
"a mans work is from sun to sun,
But u womanS work is never done"

An EIephant on a Rampage.

On Tuesday evening, says the Munich
Bulletin Of the 18th inst, about 7 O'clock,
the monster elephant belonging TO O'Dri-
ems menagerie-which exhibited at Dan
iclsonville, Connecticut, on that day-be-
came enrassd or frightened from some
cause, it was thought on account of the
thunder storm which was then passing
over the village, and pulling up the tree
to which he was fastened as though it
were but wthc, he marched out of the
tent and took short cut across lots to the
premises ola ncighboring farmer where he
amused himself for some time in tipping
over sheds, ,levouring corn fodder and do
ing other similar damage, after which, dc
spite all the repeated efforts of his keeper,
he proceeded to take a rapid promenade,
following horse and carriage some dis
lance, greatly alarming two persons who
were in the carriage rs he gained upon
them in what they feared might be race
--ior life hut they managed to keep out of
his reach. The elephant WAS finally check
ed in his career, n mile and half from the
village, by several ounces of cold lead
which his keeper fred into his side, so far
SOLDERING him that he consented to return,
and was then driven toward Norwich.
