English silk hats are not imported into
this country to any great extent now,
although so recently as 1871 they were
all the rage in New York. New York
hats are now considered finer than the
English, and are exported and sold to
some extent in England and on the
Continent. In felt hats, the inferior
ity of the English in every way is so
marked, that it is unnecessary to waste
space and time in comparison. In
straw hats, until the past five years,
the English excelled us in the manu-
facture almost beyond comparison, but
so rapid Of late have been the i'm
provements here, that we are now
almost as much in advance of them as
they were previously of us. The du-
ties on hats are: silk, sixty per cent.
straw, forty per cent. ; fur, thirty-five
per cent; cloth, forty per cent, and
fifty cents per pound.

The Cause of Boiler Explosions

A WEAK spot in a boiler, or in any
other device, does not improve by use,
and when a machine breaks down at a
point which is ascertained to have been
weak for long time, no one is i'm
pressed with the necessity of going
into long discussion to show that
mysterious agencies were suddenly
brought to bear upon the weak point
causing the break. The fact is, the
point of fracture was unable to sus-
tain the load imposed upon it. 1t did
it's very best, but when the load was
not lessened, yet the deterioration of
metal continually going on, a time
came when, from inability to hold on
longer, the machine broke down. Is
there any mystery about it? Is
there any mystery about the fact that
a boiler of six and one-half feet in
diameter, running at a pressure of
seventy-tive pounds to the square inch,
with one of the sheets corroded to the
thinneSs of paper, exploded, doing Sc
rious damage? We think not, and we
further think that ali efforts to surround
such cases with mystery are worthy
only of those who have scared so high
into the regions of theory that they are
reluctant to step down before, and
into, the presence of facts and common
sense. Boilers should be periodically
inspected, with much care, so that any
indications Of weakness may be dis
covered before it is too late. There
are few if any defects that careful ex-
ternal and internal examination, with
chisel and hammer, will not discover,
and we would advise all boiler owners
to secure the services of some COM
petent man to examine their boilers
carefully at least once a ar.-Report

ton Company.

A Lesson Taught by Experience.

Among the many valuable lessons taught
by experience, there is not one of greater
moment to the invalid portion of the COM
munity than the following, viz: That alter
alive treatment is only permanently success
full when aided by IMMIGRATION. When the
functions of the body are disordered, the
use of a genial tonic with which corrective
properties are combined is the speediest
means of regulating them. Such tonic is
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. the 10 ost popu-
lar, as it is the best article Of its class. For
more than twenty-five years it has been used
with signal success as remedy for, and
preventive of malarial fevers, as means of
imparting strength to the debilitated, and as
curative of dyspepsia, biliousness, consti-
patton, kidney troubles and uterine weak
ness. Not only have multitudes of those
whom it has cured borne testimony in its
behalf, but it has been repeatedly COM
mended by the medical profession and the
press.

CHILD'S NORNTNG SONG.

WHAT happens in the morning,
when the sun comes to the skiess
All the little children
Open wide their eyes.
When their eyes are open
What do children see?
Trees and birds and blossoms,
Bright as bright can be.
Is there not for children
Something more than this?
Mamma stands beside them.
With morning kiss;
Her smile is more than sunshine,
And her loving words
Are better than the singing
Of ten thousand birds.
In their pretty garments,
Ready for the day,
KneeGng, with sweet voices.
What do children say?
God who made the blossoms
And the birds and skies,
Who gave us our dear mamma,
With her smiling eyes,
Send loving angel
To help US through the day,
That we may be good children
In all our work and play.
Mrs. II. II. Butts, an Christian Union.
