of fftyfour,in Rhode Island. who had
been unable to do any work for
twelve years, and who had never
received over $3.50 per day for wages

ings. He was not penurlous, was
married. had one chi d. and educat-
ed her. lived comfortably and dressed

A large dredge furnished with all
the latest improved machinery, is be-
ing built at Erie, by the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company, for the purpose
of digging slips at the harbor Of
AshtabuIa. 1t will be ready in a
short time, and will remove one
thousand cubic yards of earth daily.
The two government ,dredges which
have been employed at the harbor
have deepened and improved the
channel so as to afford ample room
for the accommodation of the largest
craft on the Likes.
In France coal consumers are lay
ing in supplies at prices below those
6 ven in the official lists,
and English coal is coming to hand
in large quantities. The French
metallurgical works have decided to
restrict tht If production within the
limits of the current demand, which
appears to be becoming every day
more restricted. No real revival in
the iron trade of France can be
anticipated until fall in coal enables
makers to produce iron upon more
advantageous conditions.
In the Popular Science Monthly
there is a short artic e relative to the
power of endurance manifested by
the larvae Of some insects, and among
them of the bot fly. 1t mentions
case where a piece of the stomach OF
a dead horse, which was covered
with bot-worms, was spread on a
board and spirits of turpentine was
poured on the worms; yet after an
hour not one was detached from the
flesh Then whale-oil was poured
on them, when they all let go their
hold, and died almost Immediately.
Hence the inference that whale-oil
should be used to detach the worms
from the living horse, when attacked
by bots.
The man who can handle spade
properly does not..fnd it very hard or
laborious to work. He first LET'S the
spade fall of its own weight, says
Forney's Press, down to the spot
where the spadeful is to be taken up,
taking care that the breadth on the
surface ground is not more than four
inches; then he draws back the spade
a little, which takes off much If the
friction of Understanding blade. One
good thrust of the spade with the
foot then sends the blade down It's
full depth. A backward pressure
makes lever OF the handle and heel
of the spade, and dexterous turn
of the wrist sends the spadeful upside
down just where it is wanted. There
is no raking or "sputtering'' needed
to make the ground level. A slight
tap with the corner of the spade
makes the work as regular aud
smooth as if laid off with an instru-
ment.
