Manufacture of Tea.

In China the process employed in the
manufacture of that granulated leaf which
gives the product the name of gunpowdcr-
tea is the most curious of all to which the
plant is submitted In a room Is a troop
of robust coolies dressed only in trousers,
which are rolled up so as to give their legs
the greatest freedom Of action. Applying
their hands for support against the wall,
or grasping transverse bar they roll and
stamp upon balls about foot in diameter
which are filled with leaves, which by this
incessant pressure in all directions take
the desired form. As the sacks become
too large for their contents they are taken
out successfully, placed in other sacks and
rolled until every grain is perfectly round.
These grains are then sifted into various
sizes, arranged in various qualities and
favored. When placed in the boxes the
tea is carefully weighed The tasting is a
very delicate work. In large room sam
pies Of tea to be examined are arranged in
boxes and are tried for taste, color and
perfume. The middle of the room is &C.
cupied by a long table on which are cups
of the delicious herb, and on this table the
sunlight directly falls. Water heated 10
specified temperature is then poured on
the tea. When sufficient time has passed
the light is properly gagged and the deli
cate process of examination begins. The
professional examiners are qualified by
years of experience and by special edu-
cation to be perfect in their art, and their
knowledge is of the utmost importance to
the merchant, who in this matter depends
entirely on it.-Hea,th and Home.

French CustOm-HOuSe Frauds.

We are perpetually hearing, writes the
Paris correspondent Of the London Stand,
ard, of new frauds upon the Custom House,
in which the ingenuity of unpolitical
Frcnchmen finds just now its favorile field
of exercise The last case reported shows
mastery skill Two men had been going
about with samples of untaXed brandy,
which they mysteriously offered at very
low price to such persons as they thought
likely to buy If the sample and price
were accepted-Which they always were,
say the poice-they brought tifty-litre
cask, with all secrecy. The cabaretjer, sus-
picous, of course, with such sellers, had
full liberty to tap it where he pleased, and
he did so. Each hole of the gimlet brought
forth cognac equal to sample, the men re-
ceived their price, and the ca6arett6r, in
high delight, carried Off the cask for bot.
Ting All went well for the first few
litres; then the run of brandy stopped
On shaking the cask a sound was heard
of gurgling liquid, but nothing would
come through the bung-hole. After much
trial and tribulation the secret was discov
cred. In the fifty -litre cask a smallei
one, holding forty-eight lltres, was sus
pended, full of water. Only as mucl
brandy had been provided as would fill
the space between the barrels. These
clever gentlemen took care not to MAKE
themselves too well known in one quartc.'
but the other day victim spied them juet
delivering "a cask, and they were take,'
red-handcd. On reflection, however, tn,
prosecutor thought it best to vanish, an,
the prisoners declare that their cognac ha
duly paid its lawful tax. As to the su3.
picious barrel, they say that they kept il
and carried it about us a curiosity.

Earning a Fortune in a Dark Cell.

A PARIS correspondent writes: "The
Gaalols has a good story TO tell about a
certain English actor named Walter
Hastings story so sensational that it
seems scarcely worth while TO spoil it by
incredulity. This Mr.. Hastings, it APP
pears, was, in 1865, dining with Lord S.
at club, and CHANGED in conversation to
express an opinion that solitary confinc.
ment is by no means so terrible punish
mcnt as it sounds. Lord S. disagreed with
the speculative actor, and forthwith
offered him 10000 if he would be pun
ished in this way for ten years. The offer
was accepted, and Mr., Hastings left the
stage to pass the next decade of his life in
dark cell of fifteen feet by ten He was
allowed candles and books and writing
material and plenty of food, but was
served by a silent and invisible attendant.
He has now won his 100000, and is spend
ing it in Paris, whittier he is glad to
escape in search of health after his con-
fincmcnt in his lordShip's cellar Instead
of looking his age-thirty -fve-he appears
to be at least sixty; but he is, says the
Gaulojs, extremely anxious to begin once
more in his realistic career He seems to
have made up for the part of LIE Centenaire
with great determination. But would it
be impcrtinent to inquire whether there
ever was Walter Hastings on the London
stage or whether one is shortly coming
out? If the latter is the case he has Sc
cured good puff preliminary, and must
be a clever fellow"

If corn costs seventy cents per bushel
the pork will cost S.33 cents a pound to
produce, and so on.
By reversing the table you have, of
course, the value of corn per bushel at diff
terent prices per pound for pork-the corn
to be used in feeding for the production of
pork; and to find what the price of pork
should be per pound, taking the price of
corn as the basis of calculation, you divide
the price of bushel of corn by $40, the
number of pounds of pork produced by a
bushel of corn, as we have seen, and the
quotient will be the answer. If, for exam
pie, corn is 70 cents, divide it by $40, and
you have 8.33 cents. And so to find what
the price of corn should be when pork is
selling at certain price per pound, you
multiply the price of a pound of pork by
$40 and the product will be the answ er
Suppose pork is selling at 10 cents a

Drought and Flood.

IT has been favorite theory of scien-
fists that the drought to which large sec
tons of the country have been subject for
the past few years were caused by the rap
id destruction of forests. In view of the
unprecedented wet weather and floods of
this season it is now asked whether this
| theory Is correct or not. There are great
many things about the weather and its laws
which we do not understand Just how for
ests can greatly influence the amount of
rainfall is not so easily seen, but that for
ests do greatly influence the distribution
and effects ofrainfall is very evident Thus,
a country denuded OF its trees, the natural
protectors, is open to the drying effects Of
both sun and wind; evaporation goes on
rapidly and undisturbed and the beneti-
cial effects of rain when it does fall are
greatly reduced. Then forests act as
kind of reservoir to hold back the rain
that falls, and it is let out or distributed
gradually, thus preventing in measure
the destruction which attends heavy
rainfall in country deprived of such pro-
tecticn. Formerly streams that had their
origin in dense forests flowed with con-
siderable regularity all the year round
but since the forests have been cut away
they dry up completely during the sum-
mer and become roaring, dashing, de-
structive torrents whenever heavy fall of
rain occurs.
1t requires no elaborate, learned argu-
ment to convince any man of COM
mon sense that forests do exercise
good effect on the climate of a country,
but it requires greater effort to induce
the owners of these forests to cease de-
stroying them. Within the memory of
our fathers Ohio was covered with dense
forest, almost unbroken from Lake Erie to
the Ohio River. Now three-fourths of
her hills and valleys and plains are stripped
bare, and the destruction still goes on
scarcely undated. The law has been
spoken OF as the great remedy in this mat
ter, but better one would be the creation
of strong public sentiment in favor of
protection. Men of common sense will
not work against their own interests, and
whenever man sees and understands that
1t is to his own interest to jealousIy pro-
tect his forest trees all wanton destruction
will cease, and ottill then.-Ohio Farmer.

English Working Children.

An eminent Englishman of science re-
ports after careful investigation, that the
physical stamina of the children employed
in factories is steadily deteriorating. The
number of those who are unfit to work on
full time is increasing. This is attributed
less to the hard labor these poor little
creatures have to undergo than to the
wretched habits of the factory operatives
Too early marriages slovenliness, intemper-
ance, want ofproper open-air exercise, and
the excessive use of tobacco are noted as
main causes of the deterioration. What
ever the causes, the fact is an alarming one.
1t is serious question whether children
should be allowed to engage in exhausting
factory labor at all-whether the devotion
to this hard work from an early period is
not itself prominent cause of the bad
habits observed. But if children are to
be so employed, there is no doubt that
their hours of labor should be limited !;
and further duty is cast on the mill-own-
ers. This is, to so look after the habits of
their operatives that the children may have
a chance of entering upon their cherries
life-work with tolerably good constitutions.
In Germany parents are not allowed to de-
rive any income from the labor of their
children until they have had thoroughly
good schooling, and have grown well nigh
to manhood and womanhood; the conse-
euence is that Germany contains both the
healthiest and most efficient race of labor
ing young men and women in the world.
The English law is as yet VIGOROUSLY de-
ticent in protecting the health and condi-
ton of the children of the manufacturing
districts; and unless more vigorous re-
forms are made the prospect is that factory
labor will become more weak and more
scarce, while the bill for parish relief will
become heavy burden to the taxpayer
and Encouragement to the philanthro-
pist.-Appleton's Journal.

Niam-Nian.

AT late meeting of the French Geo
graphical Society Col. Chaille- Long Bey,
of the Egyptian army, gave an account of
his perilous explorations in the regions of
the Upper Nile. The narrator, who is a
young man of French origin, penetrated
as far as the country of Nam. Nam, the
tribes who people those regions being for
the most part cannibals. In one, where
neither a white man nor horse had ever
been seen, he was the cause of immense
establishment mingled with superstitious
fear, and was, in fact, taken for ccntaur.
By the aid of his interpreter he asked for
an interview with their chief. The latter
being informed of the presence of this
stranger received him in the royal hut,
and the traveller had the signal honor of
sitting by the side of the negro King.
Whilst the Colonel and His Majesty ex-
changed words of friendship loud cries
were heard outside. These proceeded
from thirty poor wretches who had been
ordered to be decapitated in honor of the
visitor. In rejecting that he was the
cause of the death of so many victims
the young travellers feelings revolted
against the barbarous custom; but as he
was among savages his own safety de-
pended on not showing his indignation
even in his countenance. The black
King offered him dozen women,
whom he refused. Nevertheless, wish
irf 10 ~ II,
he selected a youth of a dozen
years of age, whom he persuaded to follow
him, and made the same proposition to a
young girl. II want very much to go
with YOU" said she, "but it must be on
condition that you will not eat me- Col.
Chaille-Long was attacked at Urooli by
the tribe which, in 1872, had fought
against Sir Samuel Baker, causing him
serious loss. The intrepid voyager was in
canoe, accompanied by two soldiers and
some servants. A flotilla, composed of
boats of rude form, in which the negroes
were packed like herrings, advanced to
the encounter The chieftain was at the
head, a lance in his hand. As soon as
they were within range the colonel,
armed with revolvers, as were also his men,
gave orders to fire. The negro leader,
struck by an explosive bullet fell dead.
Each projectile made a victim among the
assailants, who finally decided to retreat,
after having lost eighty-two of their num-
Der. When at the extreme limit of his
explorations Col. Chaille-Long perceived
a curtain of smoke, which appeared to in
dictate that the country beyond was peo-
pied by other tribes, but all is yet mystery
concerning those unexplored regions.
After the reading of his narrative, listened
to with intense interest, warm and sympa-
thetic applause came from all parts OF the
hail.
