The culture Of fax and tho manufacture Of
linen In Sllesla are OF the greatest value
among tho industries Of that important Sec
ton OF the German Empire. The linens OF
Silesla have long besn celebrated for their
due aud desirable qualities. In bleaGhing,
what Is called the "geutle process" In con-
tradistinction to tho usual chemical process,
is Invariably used. By this process tho cloth
Is generally three or four months in bleach
ing, and the lyes arc very mild and moder-
ately used. To this fact the rcputa ton whic h
Silesian linen enjoys In this country Is, per
haps, largely indebted. The country people
are the manufacturers OF the linen as well as
the cultiyators Of the flax, the former being
still carried on, as 1t was centuries ago, In
the primitive method, with little aid from
machinery. Tho hax Is grown by small
farmers, spun GU the common hand-wheel by
their wives and daughters during the winter,
and woven In the houses Of the peasants,
chiefly by farm laborers when not engaged 10
field work. IL affords but scanty subsist-
ence, but Is, nevertheless, the chief occupa-
ton of the country people. It Is found, how,
ever, that the intermlxture OF agricultural
and Industrial pursuits Is not conducive to
good farming, aud 1t Is only in the purely
agricultural districts that tho better and more
profitable system Of culture prevails. The
peasantry, such Of them as are owners of
small farms-and many Of the farms ara from
eight to twelve acres only--Are In one respect
richer than tho large land-holders. They are
generally not In debt while the great estates
are most Of them ,nortgaged to about so per
cent. of their value.
Tho vast consumption of linen by both bel
ligerents Of the late war In this country, and
also Of the late French-Prussian war, stlmu-
lated an active demand and very remunera-
tive trade In the hax.produclng and linen
manufacturing countries OF Europe. re-
action sucdeeded those wars, and the acreage
under the plant has been so much reduced
that the production Is scarcely equal 70 the
requirements Of the trade. Russia Is the
great lax-producing district Of Europe, while
Sliesia Is leading lincn-manufacturlng
i country, especially for the finer fabrics. The
production OF lax In Sllesia Il wholly made
quate TO the demands Of the lluen-manufac-
turers Of the province, who are largely de-
pendent upon Russia for their supplies OF the
raw material. Although the cultivation OF
fax has been much Increased In Russia OF
late years, there Is but slight available sur
plus for expectation; for there, Us In Snesia,
the iiax manufactures constitute very Inn
portant textile industry. Tho cultivation Of
fax is increasing In France and Belgium, but
not In the ratio Of the demand for HONG con-
sumption. The production In tho United
States In 1870. according TO the ninth census,
was 81, 1873, 900 pounds Of fax and Lao, 900
| bushels of aax-seod. But here fax Is cnlti-
waited almost exclusively for the seed

was thrown into brain fever and died, After
returning to Chicago the crippled boy was
seized with smallpox, and infected the rest OF
the family, including Mr., Bakers mother
and sister. Mrs. Baker died, and her hus-
band, not sufficiently recovered, In attending
her funeral, took cold, and, after six months
OF suffering, died few days since. Finally,

discovering that New England tobacco formed
many desirable features as cigar wrapper

Havana tobacco was worth from flfty to sew
