beds Of other minerals, especially iron,
abound. In the development of manu-
factories of all kinds, giant forward
strides have also been made. OF cotton
factories alone there are over 1000 in
the country.
Now turn and lock at our remarkable
literary advancement within the same
period. At the breaking out of the
revolution the colonists possessed but
nine colleges, among them Yale and
Harvard; now there are about 300 SINH
lar institutions in this country, while
the development of the common school
system, from scanty beginnings, with
few books, ETC., to the establishment of
numerous fine school houses, and the
furnishing of all that can render educa-
ton easily and cheaply obtainable by
the multitude, has been a much greater
feature of our progress.
But these educational results have
been to great extent made only posi-
bile by the wonderful achievements of
the modern printing press, which, in
turn owes heavy debt to those great
improvements in our facilities for
manufacturing paper, that alone have
rendered the latter article sufficiently
plentiful to meet the enormous demands
of the press, and that alone enable us to
buy cheap school books, as well as
cheap periodicals of everv kind.
Our great progress in journalism is
shown by the fact that in 1875 there
were in the United States less than forty
newspapers and periodicals whose ag-
gregate issue for that year comprised
200, 900 copies; now the united press
publishes over 500 daily newspapers,
more than 1000 weeklies, and about
600 monthly publications; OF the dailies
that existed in 1870, about 5000, 600
copies were struck off that year; of the
weeklies, about coo, 900, 900; and of other
serial publications, about 100000, 900,
amounting in all to l, 500, 900, 600 copies.
And to sum the matter up yet more
| forcibly, it must be statec that the
United States publishes more news
papers, with greater combined circula-
lion, than all the other countries of the
world can together boast of having.
The history of the postal department
of the government presents an interest
ing feature of our national growth.
Shortly after the close of ITS, it was
estimated that there were about fifty
pos toffices in the United States. There
is still to be seen in the postal depart
ment in the city of Washington, small
book containing about fifty sheets OF
foolscap paper, and in this book the en-
tire accounts of the general postoffice
department were kept. In 1889, when
the confederacy was supplanted by the
present form OF national government,
the number of postoffices was about
seventy-five; the annual income from
them about $4,000; annual expendi'
lures, $32, 900; and the combined length
of postroads reached about 1900 miles
At the present time this country contains
over $4,000 postofices, with an aggre.
gate length of postroutes of 256,0OC
miles; the annual revenue amounts tC
1923, O00,tOO, and the annual expenditures
to 1926, 200. OO0.-Paper World.

Tullis, of Los Angeles, California,
and Rev. ]. A. Fisher, Of Chicogo,

day morning, at the M. E. Church,
Rev. L. M. Albright officiating.
The marriage ceremony was per-
formed at 10 o'clock, number of
friends and relatives witnessing 1t.
The church was beautifully decor
ated with flowers and trailing
vines, and at the appointed
time the bride and groom
walked up the aisle to the
strains of wedding march. The
bride, Miss Tullis, looked lovely,
in wine-colored silk, elegantly
trimmed. Sprays of orange bios.
SONS were arranged very prettily
in the elegant white lace which en-
circled her throat. The groom
wore the usual dress suit of black,
with white vest and gloves. Mr..
Fisher being an Episcopalian
preacher. an assistant Of Bishop
Cheeny Of Chicago, the marriage
was in the Episcopalian form,
and was very impressive. The
ceremony being over, they left the
church as the organist way playing

were driven to the residence of G..

Making Orange Wine.

A number of items regarding the
manufacture of q desirable wine
from the orange have been in cir
culation recently, but the methods
used have not been described. A
gentleman in New Orleans writes
to the Wine and Grape GrosOer
giving his system, some notes from
which may prove of interest.
In 1872 the gentleman referred to
made 500 gallons Of wine from the
common sour orange OF Louisiana,
which is OF no value for market,
the tree being planted for hedges
only. The must Of this orange con
tains q per cent. citric acid, and
5 per cent. sugar. In the manufac.
ture Of the wine it requires two
pounds Of sugar per gallon of juice.
The fruit is peeled, cut In
halves across the setions, and
pressed in wooden press, as
the must Is corrosive. Seeds
should be kept out of the Juice. The
skins of a few sweet oranges were
added to each so gallons of must.

mer.
This is the most complete exper-
iment of which we have heard.
The bitter orange, used in the
South for hedges, may yet become
popular for that purpose in Califor-
mia, and when miles of hedges are
in bearing condition, a profitable
industry may be developed in
the making of orange.wine. II this
fails to meet our expectations, the
blossoms can be utilized for per.
fumes, as is now the case in south
ern France. On the whole, let us
have our bitter orange hedges as
distinctive features of the Califor-
MIA landscape of the future.
