The emigration of carpenters from
this country to England is managed I'M
der the auspices of an employers union
at Manchester, who are endeavoring to
break down strike carried on by the
English carpenters, and the demand
for wOrkmen from this country is there
fore not natural one.
The poorer the quality of illumi-
mating gas, the greater the velocity with
which it rushes through the registering
meter, so that the consumer pays high
er price in proportion to the deteriora-
ton of the article supplied to him.
Nothing admits of greater fraud than
gas manufacturing, and in nothing else
is the public so grossly humbugged.
Quite large business is done in the
expectation of white birch wood from
the New Hampshire forests to be made
into thread spOols. The firm of Coates
and Co., in England, uses very large
quantities of this wood for their spools,
and they find it superior to any wood
they can procure in their own country.
1t is estimated that over a million feet
were exported for this purpose last year,
and the demand is increasing.

cupied 10S years. He was the last sur

One of the queerest Sunday-schools
yet opened is that which is connected
with the Free Congregational Society
in Florence, Mass. Instead of reading
the Bible at the opening services, the
writings of various religious moralists
are used, Pagan, Buddhist, or otherwise,
according to preference. One class
studies bookkeeping, another drawing,
and another the works of Shakespeare.
French, German, Mohammedanism and
philosophy engage the attention of some
of the scholars. The Bible is placed on
the same level as the Koran or the works
of Confucius, and prayer is not regu-
lar part of the services. The number
of pupils in this remarkable school is
about 100.

an unrighteous limo yation, never sane
toned by Scripture. They also claim
ed that the law of 1874 is unconstitu-
tional, and that it is opposed III an,
Sabbath at all. since it aboli>hes tn,
Sabbath of Scripture and orders II new
one, which Is really no Sabbath ut all.
