"Wall wal! Who'd a thought it? That

Now, Neighbor B., let me tell you that If

1t Is no wonder that our Yankee girls flock
to the cities-fil the manufacturing establish
ments-live IN small unhealthy rooms-eat
clearinghouse fare-and then, some of them,
return home to die!
Change the state of affairs, fathers Offer

homestead, and help the old mother who has
borne the heat and bmden of the day, and
has earned for herself comfortable corner
and armchair; or teach them trades which
will enable them to be self.supporting and
shops and factories. Make them active,
healthy, pleasant women. You can only do
this by giving them an interest in the affairs
OF home life BY paving them for their work.

American Machinery at Vienna.

The general machinery hall, or shed, sim
ply consists of an ordinary iron root resting
on two brick walls 164 feet apart, and is 26O0
ana odd feet long; the central part, or nave,
being 35 ieet six inches in height, while the
two side aisles are each II feet three inches
high. A line of rails runs along each side
of the nave. Travelling from west to east,
the first portion is occupied by the American
section. Notwithstanding their great delay
in coming forward, the Americans have,
thanks to the energetic exertions of Mr..
Pickering, at last succeeded in making an ex-
tremely good exhibition of light machinery,
which, OF course, is the department of en-
gineering they specially excel in. In many
things American mechanics are far ahead OF
their English brothers, most particularly in
regard to the transmission of power gener-
ally. Their shafting, for instance, Is far
cheaper aud of as good make as ours, while
by the universal adoption of adjustable and
universal swivelling bearings they are enabled
to employ very much longer bearings than
| we do.
They use very light shafting, and run it at
a corresponding high speed, and it s been
incontestably proved by expermen' that
| there is an enormous amount OF power lost in
England by our not ha. ing adopted these i'm
provements. In order to show eff their SUI
periOrity in this matter the Americans here
have erected most of the shafting to drive
their machines, while the line shafling Tor all
the rest of the machine halls is OF Sigl's wi
enna) and OF the Prague Machinery Compa-
ny's make. Another character s'ic of Amer
lean trans mission of power, is their much
more extensive substitution of belts for
toothel gearing which, under certain limita-
tions / think also well worthy of imitation,
although l am quite aware that the majority
of English engineers think that the Yankees
go much too far in this direction. Owing to
the higher price of labor in theUnited States
the manufacture of special labor-saving ma
chine tools has been carried to far greater
degree Of completeness there than with US,
and here, also, our countrymen have much
to lear from their ingenious cousins over the
water.-COr. Manchester, (Eng) Guardian.
