SOME REMARKS ON CENTRAL
FACTORIES.
[.

The island of st. Croix is divided
into some so independent Sugar Estates,
each provided with a mill, CHARTERS,
coppers, etc, in short, with complete
apparatus for sugar and rum making.
Let us now for a moment compare this
system with the Central Factory system.
If the existing so works We're to be erect
ed anew, the average cost of each, In
Guiding buildings, c~isterns and all other
appurtenances, would, at a low esti-
mate, be upward of $4,000 or, for the
whole island about S1,2O0,OOO This
capital is invested in works which, in
say 100 days, can manufacture an average
crop of, say, 10000 hhds. The capital
really invested is consequently about
S12O for every hid. of sugar produced,
which, at an interest of only 6 p. Ct, is
about $500 pr. hid. But this capital
thus invested is now as good as lost,
for we have learnt, and in the constantly
declining prices of the sugar we manu-
facture felt too, that improved machi-
merry has been able to produce much
more and far superior sugar from the cane
than we do now. Our present mode
of working will therefore not pay, but
we must improve our machinery as
many other sugar making places have
done already, and all will have to do by
~and-bye, even very soon, in.order to keep
up cane cultivation at all. Let US
therefore consider how this improvement
can be carried out in the most economi-
cal and beneficial manner. Shall we

A POINT IN THE PHILOSOPHY OF
THE DAY.
tFrom tho Herald)
(From tho Herald)

The English philosophers have been
lately discussing the origin of language
with reference to the Darwinian theory
Of the origin of man. It is claimed by one
side to the debate that thought without
language is impossible, and that, as the
inferior ANIMALS have no language, they
have, therefore, no thought, and that it
follows the theory of the evolution of man
from the simians must be illogical. On
the other hand, it is suggested that if
thought is impossible without language
man must have been like the monkey
before language was invented, and it is
asked how, without precedent thought,
could he invent the expression of it4
Into this maze of metaphysical inquiry
we shall no further introduce the reader.
except to cite one fact, which these
philosophers would do we'll to examine.
This is the exceptional case of LAURA
Bridgeman, deaf, dumb and blind from
infancy. Did this remarkable girl think
before she acquired a language, and if
she did not think how was her subsequent
knowledge of language acquired 2 One
more case might be cited in respect to
the theory of Descartes, that the animals,
man only excepted, are merely automatic
machines, who really feel neither pain nor

fit himself which he would otherwise leave
to the factory, let him for a moment consi-
der the superiority of the large factory
to the small one, and we have no doubt
but that he will soon see that it will be
much more profitable to him to employ
his capital as shareholder in the large fac
tory than to build and manage a small one
himself.

and erect new works..for these, or would
it be more advisable to get up, by united
strength, one or two establishments for
the whole island-establishments large
enough to keep themselves supplied with
every chemical and mechanical discovery,
large enough to have the most experienced
chemists and mechanics at their command 2
We have just seen that our present
rude works have been erected at a cost
price Of about SI2O pr. hid. of sugar they
produce. Let us now inquire into the cost
o larger and more improved establishments.
The Report on the working Of the Facto-

TWo REQUISITES FOR HOUSE PLANTS,

One oi our lady readers, remarkably
successful with her house plants in the
winter season, gives us two points in their
management. Every gardener and flor
jst knows the value of what is called "bot'
tom heat" A warm atmosphere-espee-
ially il drv one-is often insufhcleut 10
bring about healthy growth and IS some
times injurious. What is wanted Tor many
kinds of plants and flowers Is MOST neat
at the roots and fibers, where grown ear
" starts, and from which the stimuins Is
conveyed to every other part OF the plant.
A thrifty growth below the ground IS sure
to be followed by fruit and flowers above.
Our lady friend accomplishes this by NIL
ing the saucers of her fiower-pots with
hot water. This is. of course, absorbed
and carried up to the roots and iibers, CIV
ing the required bottom heat. Cnthriity
plants, in addition to this, she places on
the mantelpiece over the kitchen-rangee,
keeping them, of course, we'll watered. 1t
supplies heat where it is most wanted-at
the roots-and the benefit is marked. In
warm rooms the temperature is at the
top, and the coolest near the floor where
the pots are. This reverses the proper Or
der, giving the roots of a plant the coolest
place Another important matter IN mousse
plants is to give them the morning sun.
Windows where flowers are kept should,
therefore, face the east. The reasons are
not known, perhaps, but the fact is patent
to all whose business is TO develop healthy
growth in plants and flowers, that an hour
Of morning sun is worth three honrs OF al
ternoon sun. Every one observes this,
and it may be owing to some electrical ac-
ton at that time.

Diamond Rheumatic Cure

Diamond Rheumatic Cure
advertised In another colamn. We do this having
some experience in the matter. Being slightly
skeptica as to the result promised, we purchased
a bottle of the cure for friend Of ours, who was
much troubled in the shoulders and hands. Hard.
ly three months have elapsed, after using single
bottle, and she has not had a recurrence OF rheu-
matte attack, although previously she Suffered with
il almost constantly.
We scarcely could hope her to be cured from u.s.
ing only bottle but it has convinced MS that ii
is a sovereign remedy. We believe couple of bot
ties more will effect permanent cure, AMI W snld
urge our readers to give it a trial also.
