That is, young man, wishing to be mar
ried, may bry for himself and his wife q
separate house, with a quarter acre OF
land, and may pay enough down to secure
deed, with very moderate interest pay
ments IN the future. Nothing more than
this need be asked. The man and the
women have all the advantages, priceless.
even II indeinable, which belong to the
possession Of land, real estate indeed, as
the law wisely proclaims il, the only
estate except character which is real For
their children there is dirt to dig in for
hot days there il a shadow somewhere and
draught somewhere ; for all days there
Is ventilation for cool days there is the
sun and for a rainy day there is home,
which, if one be prudent, is inalienable
Now, how is the labOring man t. have
tins treasure within forty minutes Of his
work shop in the city of New York, Bos-
ton, Philadelphia, or Chicago! That is
our problem BE il observed, in begin
ming. that this problem is much nearer So
luton in practical England than it is here
And to the solution which has been reached
there we owe no little Of the manifest and
most gratifying Improvement in the condi-
ton Of the English workingman in the last
quarter-century.
He is to have it, not by going out On his
own charges, alone, to find a quarter or
half-acre lot, and build himself house
somewhere within the necessary distance of
his workshop. In the first place, all the
mt sites for such an enterprise have been
secured long ago. In the second place, he
has no time for any such undertaking, nor
does he know enough, nor can he learn
enough. Somebody who has time and
knowledge, and wants to make fair profit,
and not more than fair profit, can, and
one day Will, do this thing all at once not
tor one workingnan, but for two hundred
and nifty families Of workingmen. 1t will
be made easier for the man tired of his ten
ement to move to his new ly-a appointed
home on the selected LIST Of May than it is
now Tor HIM t. move from one barrack to
another. He will pay down his two or
three hundred dollars, and his possession
will be IN.
Why should it not be as easy for a man
to buy farm Of half IN acre within fifteen
miles Of New York 10 1t is now for him to
buy farm Of twenty acres in Iowa! The
railroad companies have made the last
thing the easiest in the world They have
nov only to turn their attention to the first
Nor let any one say again that it is a pity
that New York is So unfortunately situated
for such enterprises. Mr.. Stewart is show
ing MS what can be done at Hempstead
Mr.. Olmstead has shown us in an admirA-
bic report what can be done at Staten
Island. Now, if you will draw a meridian
through the old village Of Hampstead, it
will cut of more than 100, 900 acres Of
Long Island at the New York end Of that
PrinciPality. Say nothing Of the Jersey
sLo'e; say nothing Of Mestchester county;
say nothing of Staten Island, and
here is room enough for at least lOO,U0
homesteads for laboringnen, within as
easy range eventually AS Mr.. Stewards will
be.

A Crispin Strike.

The last issueof the A american Workman,
says
Lynn has another strike, this time
against a reduction Of wages in the trim-
ming and edge-setting departments, Of a
half a cent per psfr, equivalent to loss Of
seventy five cents per day. In some thirty
five shops many of them the largest the
men turned promptly out on Saturday. As
yet the situation remains practically un-
changed, the manufactures stoutly and de
family resisting any concession. The affair
Lrings Crispinism into prominent discuss

highly wise, profound, polite, and econom-
ical overthe subject. The strike wss ordered
BY the Board Of Arbitration. What has

Pat and the Pig.

A countryman, having killed pig, and
not wishing to divide with his neighbors,
rs WIS the custom III that country, said to
his man (who by the way, was a son of the
Emerald lsle)
Pat, if give the neighbOrs, who have
gwen to me, piece Of my pork, I'll have
none left for myself. Can you tell what
| am to do
" Be dad, sir, says Pat, its myself
that can DO that same thing.
Good, says the cOmtryman, rubbing
his hands, and looking at Pat Now tell
me what ] can DO.
: Faith, sir, said Pat, sure and when
the craythur is claned, Just lie Arthur hang
my it aginst the door where livery mothers
son of thm will see it, and early in the
morning, before any one is about, get up
and take i'll your pig, and hide it away
Thin when your neighbOrs come, Just be
Arthur telling them the pig was sthole."
Capital idea, Pat" exclaimed the
countryman, I'll do it. by st. George ="
So when the pig was cleaned it was hung
up outside the door, 50 that the neighbors
might see it, The countryman anxiously
awaited the approaching night, and at last
retired to bed, but not to sleep. Pat, un-
der cover Of the darkness Of the night, crept
round the house and stole the pig.
What was the astonishment Of the coun-
tryman, when, at early dawn he arose to
hide away his pig, but found no pig there,
can he better imagined than described. In
the midst Of his bewilderment, Pat came in
with his usual, top o the morning to ye,
sir. and giving him knowing wink said
Masther, how about the pig.
Well, Pat, the pig was stolen in real

Last season we saw some cotton raised
IN this State by J. NJ Strong. 1t was of
superior quality, and it solved the problem
that we could produce ON the Paci6c
Slope an article possessing the strength,

the samples We saw last year. would com

Egypt and Brazil cannot produce cotton

the world, could not, by amy amount of
cultivation, render the soil productive Of
qualities equal to those produced in our
Southern States.
The India cotton was short in staple,
rough and course, and it could not be pre-
duced from the native seed but in very
small quantities to the acre and the i'm
ported seed would have to be renewed
every year, for the second crop would de-
terlorate. We remember having read some
time since, that in certain locality a
farmer had succeeded in growing several
crops ON his plantation from one planting.
and that the annual yield was an great N
the first crop. Varieties of seed may be
obtained, which transplanted to the soil
OF some localities in this State, may prove
that cotton can become a pewnniAl The
intelligent labor of poor monk in the
garden Of his convent, in Brazil, gave to
that country, from few grains Of coffee,
a development which has made her the

that colony Of Costa Ricans had purchas-
ed grounds and laid out coffee plantation

localities possessing soil and climate in

Mons. / Fontelle, President de la Soci-
etc des Sciences Physiques ct Chemiques
lie Paris, &c, has left the following rec
ord About the year 1909 one Lionetto,
Spaniard, astonished not only the igno-
rant, but chemists and other men Of science,
in France, Germany. Italy and England,
by the impunity with which he handled
red hot iron and mclten lead, drank boil
ing oil and performed other feats equally
miraculous. While he WAS at Naples he
attracted the notice of Professor Sementeni.
who narrowly watched all his operations
and endeavored to discover his secret.
He observed, in the first place, that when
Lionetta applied a piece Of red hot iron to
his hair dense fumes Immediately rose from
it, and the same occurred when he touched
his foot with the iron. He also saw him
place a rod Of iron, nearly red hIt, be
tween his teeth without burning himself
drink the third Of tablespoonful Of boil
ing oil, and taking up molten lead with his
fingers place it on his tongue without ap-
parent Inconvenience. Sementenis efforts,
after performing several experiments upon
himself, were finally crowned with success.
He found that by friction with sulphuric
acid, diluted with water. the skin may be
made insensible to the action of the heat Of
red hot iron; solution Of alum, evaporat-
ed until it becomes spOngy, appeared to be
more effectual in these frictions. After
rubbing the parts which were thus render
ed, in some degree, incombustible, with
hard soap, he discovered on the application
Of hot iron that their insensibility was
increased He then determined on again
rubbing the parts with soap, and after thi,
found that the hot iron not only Occasioned
no pain but that it actually did not burn
the hair. Being thus far satisfied, the
Professor applied hard soap to his tongue
until he became insensible to the heat Of
the iron; and after having placed an oint
ment composed Of soap mixed with solu
ton of alum upon it, boiling oil did moi
burn it; while the oil remained on tbs
tongue a slight Kissing was heard, similal
to that Of hot iron when thrust into water
the oil soon cooled, and might then b
swallowed without danger. Several scien
ti6c men have since repeated the expert
ments Of Prof Sementeni.

at is thought" says the Pittsburgh
CAromicIe, "that there are circumstances
attending the closing up of the labor
strikes in New York, that viii occasion
fresh trouble a. soon a. suitable combina-
tions can be formed. The capitalists, by
concert Of action, have excluded from en-
ployment all who were known as leaders in
the recent troubles The design was to free
the men from their influence, by thus driv-
ing them from the city. The effect has
been, however, to make martyrs of them,
in the estimate Of the workingmen, thus
giving them meretricious importance they
could not otherwise have had. We do not
attempt to forecast the future, but win not
be surprised il trouble should speedily grow
out Of existing complications.
