THE REGULATIoN OF THE NITRO
GLYcERINE TRADE.-There is possible
regulation of the business and that il;
by beginning at the fountain-head and
compelling every manufacturer of nitro
glycerine to give bonds for the where
abouts and proper nse of the explosive.
For it is not improbable that this agent
will become terrible auxiliary Of fcrime
The manufacture should he made a
crime, except by those legally licensed
and complying with the law. In short
the manufacture should be put under az
strict surveillance AZ the distilleries are
under by the revenue law; the cost o.
supervision should be taxed upon it
and the makers should be responsible
for its Legitimate use and safe carriage
The common carriers should also adopl
some general regulations as 10 its trans

Better Furnish Work than Give Gra-
tuitOusly. --

Those who can give employment of
any kind to persons, male or female,
yonng or old, out of work, at this time,
should not fail to do so. There are a
great many idle people in the city who
are very much in need of something to
do, and who will not ask unreasonable
remuneration for their services. II is
not hard to find them, or to communi-
cate with them. Thousands of them
can be seen by visiting the various
places where charity is distributed. II
is better to furnish work than 10 give
gratuities. Idleness not only produces
individual suffering, but is injurious to
the public welfare. and cause of loss
to the whole community. If you car
give or find any sort of employment fol
an unemployed man or woman, or boy
or girl, don't fail to do it.-[New Yorl

, CORN FOR MITCH Cows.-They seem
to feel that grain fed to cows is almost
thrown away. The horses and hogs must
have all the grain, and leave the cows
TO take care of themselves. These are,
in my opinion very mistaken notions.
Indeed, it costs only little more to keep
a COW upon grain than upon hay. Ex-
ample: II will take one acre. Of good
grass to furnish winter fodder for COW.
The same acre, if planted TO corn and
properly cultivated, will not only furnish
winter fodder, but will furnish grain
enough, if fed with the stalks in winter
and the pasturage in summer. TO give MS
good flow of milk during the entire
milking season. while the hay would
have done little more than sustain the
animal life.
The difference Of coat, then, in the
two methods of feeding. is the difference
of expense in raising an acre Of grass
and an acre of corn. We have the same
investment for land, and il is only tbs
difference in labor, and when we strike
the balance between the cost and profit
we shall find large balance in favor o
grain. .ss aa.g ia l.a

The fast mail train that leaves New
York every morning for the principal
cities in the West, reveals wonders in
the way of rapid locomotion. The trains
frequently attain the rate Of over n mile
minute. II there was a railroad
aronnd the earth, il would take one OF
these trains only fourteen days to make
the circuit. That's bringing our planet
down to small proportions. II doesn's
seem possible that Alexander, Caesar,

such big fusses as history aseribes to
them, within such small limits

Which gives a profit of $433 so on
$170 worth of machinery. As we have
taken the above figures from the sworn
testimony Of Mccormick himself, they
are entitled to the fullest credence. The
Scientific American. in an article upon
the "Profits We Pay" gives the cost of
manufacture of each part of a sewing
machine, and sums mp the result of it's
investigations with this statement:
"That the sewing machines that are US
ually sold from $65 to $125. cost from
81 to $15 TO manufacture, the average
cost being S11.S2." Three manufactur-
era of sewing machines in 1873 netted
Sc .O00, 900 profits each, the agents re-
ceiving even a greater profit than the
misunderstanding over $4,000,
900 profits, drawn from the farmers and
mechanics of the country. in single

les and their agents. Exchange.

Indoor Safety in a Thunderstorm.

Mr.. Latimer Clark, the eminent elec-
lrician, gives the following hints as TO
the safest position people can occupy
during a Thunderstorm. A person re-
clining on sofa or bed at distance
from all the walls Of the room could
scarcely suffer injury, even in house
struck by lightning; bat most absolute
security is obtained by lying on an iron
or brass bedstead Of the form known a.
the Arabian bedstead. in which the head
is surmounted by an iron erection sup
porting the curtains. A person lying or
sleeping on such bedstead could not
possibly receive any direct injury from
Lightning, even il the honse we're to be
demolished, as his bedstead forms the
most complete lightning protector which
could we'll be devised. A wooden bed
stead placed against the wall does not NJ
ford any special seonrity.

New England Indifference to Relig.
ion.


Says the Golden Rule: The fact lie
Boston and New England are already,
in the majority of their population,
non-churchgoing. The Church, and
hence the Word Of God, ia fast ceasinR
to be power over the popular thought
and conscience. The average man and
woman cares little for either. They
neither attend the services of the one
nor read the other, as rule. In short,
it amounts to jnst this: Young New
England is growing up Bibleless. Thai
worst phase of skepticism is being
reached-universa and good
carelessnes touching religious claims
and teachings The rkepticism, marx
yoI, is home-bred. The scientists
have nothing to do with il. Its parents
are here, its home is here; here, TOO, il
is nurred. It's mother is bigotry and
stiffness and-coldness in the administra.
tion of our churches. It's father is dTy
and stupid preaching. The Church has
as it were, turned against herself, and
by her own errors and weakness lost hel
hold on the popular heart and the pop
ular imagination. The hopeful sign
the one bright beam that penetrate
with lis golden shaft the very center o
the black clouds is-that the Church
herself is gesting alarmed.
