CHANGE OF BASE.

There can be no doubt that America
is gradually but surely underselline
England in many markets of the world
Our manufacturing facilities will OF
course grow With these new demands
tor our manufactures, and we no doubt
feel very proud of the fact. But this
change will bring to our shores a large
number of foreign Workmen, and OF
lcourse labor will not rise i'll value as
many Of our Workmen suppose. In
most Of the articles which we shall eX-
port in consequence of this change OF
base, labor is the largest factor in their
cost, and to obtain and maintain this
superiority labor must be cheap, and
cheap labor will imply cheap food and
clothing, SO that we may make up our
mind this increase Of foreign com
merce is not going TO make dollars 50
plentiful that they may be gathered off
gooseberry bushes.
It must also be remembered that
with the sober and Industrious whom
we shall gladly welcome, there will be
crowds OF drinking, ignorant men who
will steal, riot, and vote as directed by
blatant demagogues, and that this will
be q large clog to the promi 5ed good
There will always be suffering untold
wrongs which mo statesman could
better-no patriot heal"
Would it not be we'll for some of our
statesmen and philanthropists to look
this In the face, and do all that wise
and vigorous legislation can do to meet
The evil. Can our school system be
made more efficient and education
made compulsory. It may be all right
to talk about liberty and rights Oh this
subject but to make that talk reasona-
bic the people must be moral and in
td1ligent, out in my opinion we
better give up a few rights such as
those than be cursed with a mass Of
ignorance continually increasing in
size and power until gets beyond our
control. S.

BROWN PAPER CIGARS

It Is stated that not O steamer leaves
New York for Havana that does not
take out from 1900 to 5000, reams, or
in occasional instances as high as
as 80, 900 reams of coarse brown wrap
ping-paper. What this paper was,
used for was for a long time a
mystery; but it has recently been re-
vealed that it enters into the manu-
facture of 'pure Havana cigars" It
is said when saturated in the juice Of
tobacco stems the straw paper makes
a filling" almost equal, if not su-
perior, to the genuine leaf. In fact,
it is sometimes impossible to detect
the delicate film Of paper interlapped
with leaves in the finished cigar, or
neatly folding the exterior. For this
purpose, we are told, 1t serves admir-
ably, the paper, under combustion.
leaving no residum other than pure
white ash. TO such a refinement CT
art has this, business been carried.
that by the use Of machines rolled
over the sheet Of paper an almost per-
feet impression Of the tobacco leaf is
obtained, the peculiar "spots" being,
printed as on calico. Smokers of
Havana cigars, will, no doubt con-.
sufne their weed" with an added zest
after learning Of what it is probably
composed.

TIE OYSTER IN EUROPE

The common oyster of Europe,
abundant on the coasts Of Great
Britain and France, occurs in large
banks or beds, sometimes extending
for miles, usually on rocky bottoms.
From about the middle of August to
the middle of May, they are dredged
from the bottom by kind Of iron
rake drawn by boat under full sail,
several hundred being taken at a sin
gle haul. These are transferred to
artificial beds or parks, where they
are preserved for sale, continually
growing in size and improving in fla.
vor. The growth Of the oyster is
slow, it being only as large as O half
dollar at the end of four to six months
and twice the size at the end Of year.
In artificial beds the growth is usu-
ally slower, the full size not being at
tanned till the fifth to the seventh
year.
The west coast of Scotland and the
Hebrides have the best oyster Of the
British coasts, and here, in sheltered
bays, they acquire the green color SO
esteemed by the epicure, and suppos-
ed to be due to converv9 and similar
colored growths in the breeding
places. Other English beds extend
from Gravesend, on the Thames,
along the Kent Coast, and in the es-
tuaries Of the Colne and other rivers
along the Essex coast. The British
beds are kept up by careful culture,
and by the introduction Of broods
from all quarters. Since 1872, several
vcrieties Of American oysters have
been introduced; but the planting is,
still an experiment, and it is said that
the e'change of sea deterior ates their
quality. Not many years ago the beds
of France were nearly exhausted. In
1858, NJ. Coste, recommended plans
for their restoration, and since then
the parks in the bays of st. Brieuc
Arcachon, and the Isle of Re, restocked
by broods from Cancale and other
sources, have become enormous;
and the successful culture is yearly
extending along the entire Atlantic
and Mediterranean coasts of France
The Danish coast is we'll supplied
with beds. The Neapolitan Lake
Fusaro is the greatest oyster-park Of
Italy. ." .."'' '4''"- .t.'+ '"
