A Colossal Enterprise.

Extensive as are many of the indus
trial establishments of our own coun-
try, we have no such colossal enter
prise as that known as the Cast Steel
Works of Frederick Krupp, near Essen,
in Prussia. AS described in late issue
of the american artisan, these works
appear to be of wonderful extent. They
occupy an area of thousand acres,
and of this area two hundred acres are
under roof. Seventeen thousand men
are employed in the various depart
ments of Krupp's establishment, in ad-
dition to some seven hundred officers
and regular employees. The work.
men and officers, with their families,
occupy more than 5000 dwellings, and
large number of boarding-houses are
also required for the use of the unmar-
ried laborers. There are Ala mines be-
longing to the firm, scattered over an
area of so, 900 acres. A printing office,
chemical laboratory, Photographic
and photographic gallery, two extensive
hospitals, and a benevolent fund of
nearly $4,000 are also part of this
extraordinary establishment.
Among the items of detail connected
with the working of this enterprise, the
following will be found worthy of note 4:
The quantity of cast-steel produced
in the year 1872 exceeded 125, 1000 TONS
This product consisted of axles, tires,
wheels and crossings for railways; rails,
springs and shafts for steamers; ma
chinery of various kinds; boiler-plates,
rolls, spring tool-steel, guns, gun
carriages, shot, etc. There are in the
works now in operation $50 smelling
furnaces, 800 annealing furnaces, 161
heating furnaces, 115 welding and pud-
ding furnaces, IA cupola and reverber-
atory furnaces, 160 furnaces of other
kinds, 275 coke ovens, 264 smiths
forges, 240 steam boilers, besides 70
now in process of construction.
There are, besides this, II steam
hammers, 286 steam engines, 1862 turn
ing lathes, 80 shaping machines, 1876
boring machines, LOT planning machines,
AZ punching and growing machines, 32
pressing machines, 81 grinding ma
chimes, 81 glazing and polishing ma
chimes, and 143 machines of miscel-
laneous character.
In 1872, these works consumed, of
coal, 500, 900 tons; of coke, 125, ,000tons;
water, 113,000,000 cubic feet; of gas,
1876, ,000,0 900 cubic feet, supplied by the
gas-works of the establishment, to 49,
800 burners.

How Cris.insIs are Treated in Eng
Iand-Mark Twssn's last Joke.
An American lady, who was being
shown through one of the shows of
London-Newgate-ths other day, ex-
pressed herself rather forcibiS 20 the
warder concerning several features of
the prison which hardly appeared to
her humane. She was gr1eved to see
the elabotate and new machinery for
holding prisoners tight while they are
fiogged with the cat, stocks fof holding
their feet, and similar arrangements for
the body and hands. The lady asked
where the thumb-screw was. The ward
er innocently replied that they hadn't
any However, he must afterwards
have bdhderAd more profoundly over
the sarcasm of the inquiry. for more re-
Gently another American lady, upon
giving expression to similar feeling
about the resuscitated stocks, was
sharply told by tks warder that they
had managed to get along there without
fogging for many Years until some
Americans came over and began to gar
rote the citizens, and this was found to
be the only way of dealing with them.
The lady replied that it must have
been because the English came over
and took away their business, since
American prisons were full of English
men.
"However," she added, we don't tor
ture them"
On coming to Tie staall alley in which
executed criminals are btried; this
lady-who is a good Quaker-shuddet'
ed at that, and the warder said:
"You will notice here that ours is a
great improvement on the American
plan. In America they give the bodies
of executed criminals to their friends,
who; as likely as not, make hero OF
him, and bury him with pomp. But
these scoundtels dread being buried
away in this alley almost as much as
they dread the gallows."
The lady having suggested that exc
cution was enough, the warder replied
"Not bit of it. 1 was showing our
place the other day to a remarkable in
telligent American, who admired our ar
rangements exceedingly, only he
thought we were too lenient. That
gentleman said that the great mistake
in America was lenienGy. Would you
believe it p said he; we caught ras-
cal in America the other day whom we
ought Immediately to have burned, and
we only hung him. But we are coming
to our senses, and are now making ar.
rangements to burn certain men fol
whom the gallows is too good ,"
"Will thee be good enough to tell me
the name of the American gentleman
who made that remark to thee? ?" said
the Quakeress.
"Ah, yes" said the warder, refec
lively; " let me see-it was Mr.. Marl
Twain. Cor. Gin. Commercial.

To Cure Cancer.

Cancer has fallen into the hands of
such stupid, reckless quacks, says Dio
Lewis, that it is very difficult to speak
of it with patience. will give yo1 a
case which Think resembles yours. A
slight, pale mother of forty-eight dis
covered small tumor, in which she
frequently experienced needle-like
pains. Some one suggested cancer, and
away she ran in great frightto famous
cancer-doctor. He assured her, in the
most awfully solemn way, that it was a
terrible case, and thar if she had let it
go a week longer before coming to him
it would have been too late. He then
proceeded to inform her that for three
hundred dollars, half down, he would
cure her. With great difficulty, and at
great sacrifice. she raised the money,
and put herself under his treatment
He applied a plaster, which immedi-
ately made an open and very painful
sore, which bulrowed so deeply into
the flesh that the tumor came out. She
was now in most wretched condition.
AS this lady's mother died of cancer, I
fear that in her present exhaustion she
may succumb to the same malady, for
she is clearly in the cancerous or scrof-
ulous condition. In every case of can
Ger, it is not the tumor, but the condi-
ton behind the tumor, and which pro-
duces the tumor, which is to be treated.
It lis very doubtful if the knife or the
arsenic plaster ever yet cured cancer,
while there is no doubt that very
large majority of the cases of cancerous
tumors may be cured or entirely ar
rested, and brought within safe limits,
by the following management:
1. Wear wet compress covered with
half dozen thicknesses of dry flannel
every night over the tumor.
2. Go out much in the sun.
8. Breathe full of the purest air day
and night.
4. Eat the best beef and bread, and
no trash
5. Go to bed at eight o'clock, and
sleep as long as possible. Lie down
an hour in the middle of every day, and
try to sleep. ,
6. Cultivate a cheerful, jolly tenn
per.
7. Exercise freely every day in the
opea air.
s. Keep your skin open by regular
morning bath in soap and water.
This I have no doubt will cure
you.

" SpOngers.N

Unfortunately large class of people
merit this name, and are not troubled
with a consciousness of deserving it,
either. The social spohge is generally
a pleasant, affable person, always ready
to do you, his "most valued and es-
teemed FRIEND" a good turn, provided
only he can manage it at some one else's
expense, and without pecuniary or
other Inconvenience to himself. He
does this upon principle, for, argues
he, Zone good turn deserves another, I"
and this turn when rendered he carefully
posts tc your debt with interest com
pound and double compound, and fails
not to remind you ever and anon that
the balance of your account Is on the
wrong side. As We have said, our friend
is not over particular in what way he
obtains the needful; and if you gave
him the opportunity he would not
scrupie to use the engine of the law to
pump it out of you. Beware, there
fore, of supplying the handle to the
pump for the law TO work the golden
stream full upon his absorbing self.

an eminently practical manner. Num-
Der one is with him the first law of ma
ture. Take all you can get, and give as
little as possible. "Throw sprat to
catch o mackerel." "Hold fast that
which is good, eschew that which is
evil that is to say. that which is no
good. These are favorite axioms of
his. You are generous; well, doesn't
he praise you for it, and laud you to othe
skies as a jolly good fellow? He robs
you right and left-not in legal sense
to be sure, but he robs you none the
less; you abuse him proportionately
and he cries "quits." Clearly nothing
more than an ordinary business trans
action; who, then, can say that our
friend is not an eminently practical
man? AS for him, he gives away moth
ing, and is serenely happy in his sell
tishness. Well, perhaps it is better to
be like him than to give just for the
sake of display that which you be-
grudge. But, oh take care, you hard
hearted, selfish, despicable Sponge,
lest the time should come when the
press of circumstances will squeeze
your ill-gotten gains out of you. You
may then as lief expect the earth to
split in twain as that any of your former
well sacked friends will extend you a
helping hand.

A Pilgrimage to the Holy Land.

A ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS meeting of
prominent Catholics interested IN the
projected pilgrimage of American Catho-
lies to the Holy Land was held at the
house of Archbishop McCloskey. Brief
addresses were made in advocacy of the
proposed pilgrimage, and offers of ma
terial aid toward the realization of the
project were freely made. A sugges-
ton that few pilgrims, pioneers of
the movement, should take their de-
parture within the coming two weeks,
met with much favor. Archbishop Nc
Closkey, however, stated that it would
be better to defer the matter for some
time, and urged that there were various
reasons which rendered delay advisable,
prominent among them being the fact
that were the pilgrims to depart within
the next two weeks, there would be no
possibility of apprizing the Holy
Father, so that they might start with
the advantages of the plenary indul-
gence.
After considerable discussion it was
finally determined not to take any ac-
tive measures looking toward the i'm
mediate carrying out of the idea for
the present. Rom what transpired,
however, twas evident that before long
procession of Catholic pilgrims will
take their departure from our shores.

Light Cares.

What pity tbs that young married
folk will not emulate the example of
Japanese housekeepers They are
troubled very little by household cares.
A few mats, chest of drawers for
clothing, two OF three quilts for bed
on the floor, some simple kitchen-uten-
sils, and their houses are furnished.
They have never known the use of a
bedstead, chair, or table, as we I'M
derstand these articles and yet, these
people have all the virtues of civiliza-
tion, and perhaps not quite all its vices.
They are polite, generous, hospitable,
perform their religious duties with ex-
emplary piety, and, if cleanliness is
next to godliness, they are much more
godly than we are, for they are the
cleanest people on the earth, according
to the general testimony of travellers
We have certainly much to learn before
our houses can be as Immediately neat
as theirs are. The habit of dofing
street boots and assuming slippers be-
fore entering room does much to-
wards keeping houses cleaner than our
own. A poor Japanese housewife really
enjoys more ease, after her simple du-
ties are done, than many of our wealth.

entering life-compare their lot with
that of the people under discussion,

soon render verdict in favor of Japan
ese housekeepers.

Saint Fanny.

Saint Fanny was notable housewife.
Her house was temple of neatness.
Kings might have dined upon her stair
case. Now, her great delight was to pro-
vide oil things comfortable for her hus-
band, hardworking merchant, much
abroad, but loving his home. Now, one
night, he returned tired and hungry,
and by some mischance there was moth
ing for supper. Shops were shut, and
great was the grief of st. Fanny. TAX
ing off a bracelet of seed pearl, she said,
'I'd give this ten times over for sup.
per for my husband" And every pearl
straightway became an oyster; and st.
Fanny opened, and thehusband ate, and
lol in every oyster was a pearl as large
as a hazel nut; and so was Saint Fan
ny made rich for life. -Douglas Jcr-

The Effects of Worry.

That the effects of worry are more to
be dreaded than those of simple hard
work is evident from noting the classes
of persons who suffer most from the
effects of mental overstrain. The case
book of the physician shows that it is
the speculator, the betting-man, the
railway manager, the great merchant,
the superintendent of large manufac-
turing or commercial works, who most
frequently exhibits the symptoms of
cerebral exhaustion. Mental cares &C
companied with suppressed emotion,
occupations liable to great vicissitudes
of fortune, and those which involve the
bearing on the mind of multiplicity of
intricate details, eventually break down
the lives of the strongest. In estima-
ting what may be called the staying
powers of different minds under hard
work, it is always necessary to take
early training into account. A young
man cast suddenly into a position in
volving great care and responsibility,
will break down in circumstances in
which, had he been gradually habitu-
ated to the position, he would haveper-
formed its duties without difficulty. 1t
is probably for this reason that the pro-
fessional classes generally suffer less
from the effects of overstrain than 9TH
ers. They have long course of pre-
liminary training, and their work comes
on them by degrees; therefore when it
does come in excessive quantity, 1T
finds them prepared for it. Those, on
the other hand, who suddenly vaultinto
position requiring severe mental toll,
generally die before their time. Cham

What to Tell Them.

At one time John G. Spencer, then
Secretary of the Treasury, was before
the Senate nominated as Justice of the
Supreme Court in place of Smith
Thompson, deceased, and David Hen
shaw, a noted Democrat, of Boston, for
Secretary of the Navy. These nomina-
tions were held in allegiance for some
time, and after a while Spencer and
Henshaw became impatient, and sought
to ascertain what their fate was to be.
George Evans, of Maine, was then one
of the most influential members of the
Senate; and Albert Smith, who had
been in the House of Representatives
from the some Statej and was then a
sort of lobbyist and general agent in
Washington, called upon Evans in the
hope of gaining some information. He
told the Senator that Spencer and Hen
shaw were concerned about the action
of the Senate upon their nominations.
Naturally So" said Mr.. Evans,
"and one of them must have sent you
to me to inquire ?"
'I came at their joint request. And
now what shall I tell them9
"Well, Albert said the Senator,
''you may tell them this story. When
the rich Mr.. Clapp, of Portland, was at
the height of his commercial career,
about dozen vessels loaded with mo-
lasses arrived from the West Indies
and New Orleans in the course Of two
or three days. A majority of them
were owned by or consigned to Clapp;
and the smaller merchants did not dare
to sell gallon of treacle uutil he had
fixed upon q price. After some days
it was bruited about that he had sold
one of his catgoes. Up comes one Of
the traders to gather information.

Killing Mosquitoes.

A novel method of killing mosquitoes
has been discovered which deserves to
be patented. But we disclose it to our
readers, unconscious that we thereby
infringe anybody's rights. The, ap-
paratus required is simple, consisting
of a broomstick, the cover of tin
blacl1ing- and nail. The inside of
the cover should be anointed thorough
ly with kerosene oil, and then nailed,
hollow side up, to the end of broom
stick. The method of operation is
equally simple: clap the machine over
the nearest mosquito on the wall or
ceiling, end hold him prisoner for a
moment. Then his body will be found
adhering to the oil at the bottom of the
cover, the fumes having put an end to
his existence. Sometimes strong
headed individual will reel about a
while before he keels over and dies,
BY an Industrious use of this machine
room can be entirely cleared of mos
quitoes.

Wanted--.A Chance,

The people who say that all they
want is chance-are you old enough
to have found them out? OF all the
miserable souls these used to appeal
most quickly to my sympathies. Of
course there are plenty of genuine
cases; I think am expert enough now
to detect them at glance. But I am
inclined to think that the vast mai ority
of chance-wanters are the people most
active in throwing chances away. I
never saw an earnest man long in want
of o chance. The trouble is in the man,
not in the situation. The individual of
all others who has talked to me with
the most persuasive pathos about the
lack of fortunate circumstances, is the
man whom I have found most ingeni-
GUS in evading his opportunities. If
the poor devil had persuaded the art of
action with the same infexibility and in
dustry that characterized his cultiva-
tion of that of inaction, the world
might have mistaken him for genius.
I have seen him occupy days and weeks
in the most remarkable series of moral,
mental and physical skirmishes with
duty and opportunity, in which his in
exhaustible fertility OF resource, perse-
verance, and valor in bad cause proved
ever vic. orious. ..
In fact, a chance could never ap-
proach nearer than the outposts-he
knew we'll the enemy's colors, and took
him at long range.

Wages Abroad.

Sixty cents day is considered good
wages for workingman in any of the
European countries, except Great
Britain, where the wages are somewhat
higher. In the Tyrol silk region and
in Italy they often do not get more than
ten cents. In the country in Germany
ten cents is the common pay. Women
there often get but five cents. In Swe-
den men often work from four o'clock
in the morning till nine in the evening,
and do not get more. During the late
war many poor women in Berlin were
hired to knit stockings for the soldiers
for five cents. The profit of the poor
who keep petty shops, sell trinkets in
the streets, or act as suttlers do not av-
erage more than three or four per cent.
BARRIERS in Berlin, since the raising of
their prices, get five cents for hair cut
ting and two and half cents for shaw
ing. Servants at hotels get from three
to eight dollars a month. Servant girls
in private families often get but ten
dollars year. Sometimes these classes
cannot get work at any price,
