THE SWEDISH CoLONY.-The don. W
w. Thomas. jr., of Portland, the com
missioner on immigration, has submitt-
ed his report for the past ear. In1S7o,
State. In 1877 this number was aug
mented to 1000. The effort during the
past year has been rather to firmly es-
tablish the Swedish settlers already
within our borders than to add to their
number. The immigrants have all paid
their own passage to Maine, and have
brought with them 100000 in cash. The
SWedes are not settled Ill one locality,
but are distributed throughout the State
and are found to be intelligent and in
dustrjous laborers. Some of the Swedish
Immigrants have come in independent
circumstances, and have established
homes in the State. New Sweden, how
ever, is he centre of the enterprise and
now numbers six hundred souls. The
place has been built up by Swedish en-
terprise, roads built, lots laid out and
homes establihed. Had the past season
been favorable two thousand acres
would have been cleared and crops put
in, but the heavy rains have retarded
work in that direction, and the crops
have been lighter than was anticipated
Manufacturing mas been pursued and
mills erected during the year; week.,
newspaper established, religious services
conducted, schools supported, ana the
colony is in general state of prosperity
Since the founding Of the colony there
have eoccurredseven marriages, ,fif.y births
and twenty seven deaths. The commls-
sioner recommends, in view of the cut
ting of Of the crops. that moderate ap-
preparation be granted, that will supp y
the needy with seed in spring and 1000

POSTAGE STAMPS How rRErARED.-
~ soon a. they emerge from the hV-
drauhc press, postage stamps ate gum
med. The paste is made from clear starch
or rather it, dextrlnc, which is acted up
on chemically and then boiled, forming
IA clear. smooth. slightly sweet mixture
Each sheet OF stamps is taken separately
placed upon nat b ard, AMI it, edges
covered with light metal frame. Then
the paste is sIncarcd on with 4 large
whltewa,h brush, and the sheet j. laid
between two wire racks and placed on
aplle with other, to dry. Great care
Is taken IN the manufacture OF this p.~ g.,
which is perfectly harmless. This gtat-
living fact has been conclusively proved
by an analysis recently made by an en-
incnt chemis'. After the cumming, an
mother pressing in the hydraulic press
follows. Then another couuting-iu
fact, stamps are counted no less than
thirteen times during the processes OF
uC silCCtS luSu cut
III half, each portion containing one
hundred stamps, this being done by
girls with ordinary hand shears. Next
the pertorations are first made in
perpendicular line, and afterward
in horizontal line. Another pressing
follows-this time to get rid of the rails
ed edges on the back of the stamps made
by the dies, and this ends the manufae-
ture. A separate apartment is devoted
to the picking and sending off the stamps
to the different post-offices. 1t will be
seen by this account that any absurd ru
mors concerning the poisonous or un-
clean properties OF postage stamps are
utterly without foundation.

RECIPROCITY WITH CANADA.-At a
meeting of the Dominion Board of Trade
in Ottawa, few days ago, this resolu-
ton was adopted:
Resolved That the Executive Council
be instructed to memorialiZe the gov
ernment in favor of the appointment of
commission to act with that of the
United States, if it should be named, or
to take such other means as will best
respond to any action on their part to
carry out the treaty of reciprocal ira de
with the United States.
The National Board of Trade of the
United States on several occasions have
asked Congress to appoint commi ssion
for the purpose here contemplated, and
other bodies representing commercial
affairs in different parts OF the country
have done the same. Several gentle
men representing these bodies were ad-
mitted to seats in the Dominion Con-
vention, and discussed this subject, TAX
ing the sensible ground that free trade
would he OF mutual benefit to The United
States and Canada. Congress could not
do a better act at this session than TO re-
spond to this good feeling between the
commercial interests of the two coun-
tries by the appointment of commits
sion to carry out their views.

What can be done with Musical Boxes


A tourist writes: almost the last
words l heard before leaving New
York last spring were: Now be sure
to see the musical boxes when YOU get
to Geneva So, when came to Cen
eva, went round from one shop to
another, looking at them; but | did
not see anything very remarkable until
one day, sauntering along the prone
made, | dropped myself into a shop
and asked for musical boxes of the
pretty, vivacious little French girl at
the counter.
"A salesman who spoke remarkably
good English showed US, in company
with several others, the remarkable
features of the rooms. BY one of the
windows hung two wicker cages, eacn
containing canary bird. But what.
in the name of wonder, can that thing
sticking out at the side be? Presently
up comes our conductor, and grasping
the thing commences turning it.
Sure enough, it is key, and he's wind
ing up the little songster. Each forth
with begins to sing, fluttering at the
same time its tail feathers, and turn
ing its head from side to side in the
most natural way imaginable. This
bird would continue, we are told, to
sing at intervals for two hours lust
like real canary, only better. 1t
cost six hundred francs. Our eyes
were next drawn to several bottles and
decanters which adorned sidepoard.
The guide picked up one of them, and
on his turning it bottom up, it immedi-
ateiy began to play Coming thro' the
Rye. 1t was intended for wine, and
when your guest filled his glass by in
vertlng the bottle, his ears would be
salutcd with music. 1t would puzzle

place in the bottom, which is ground

Next came a cigar and wineglass

stopped when it was closed. Ladies'
work-boxes and photograph albums

were strewn broadcast over the tables.
