The Stevens Upward Filter. - Some
months since we briefly called attention to
the Stevens Upward Filter and Cooler, for
which Mr.. A. r. Champney had accepted
the agency. Since, or within the past two
months the company organized for the
manufacture of these Filters in Toledo has
been reorganized, and Messrs. Cha mpney

have taken half interest in the Company
the Toledo members being Messrs. ]. c.

II. Davis was selected President, Geo. We'd
dell Vice Pres't, Walter Pickens Sec'y, and
A. G. Williams Treas. Mr.. j. n. Stevens,
the patentee, superintends the work of man
uiacturing the Filters.
These Filters were not introduced in
New Orleans until March last and forty
have been sold there since that date, with
but little exertion. The Co. is nov nego
tiating with parties in that city to put in
two large Filters, with a capacity 10 filter
4,500 ga Hons of Mississippi water per hour.
They are being introduced in nearly every
State in the Union and almost the univer-

they have been tested is to the effect that
they nre the best and only perfect Filter
ever made.

This valuation represents merely for
eign coin cost, without freight or duty.
Allowing an average of ten dollars per ton
to cover duty and incidental expenses, the
amount OF money locked iup in foreign
iron in bonded warehouses ioots up ST.
043,240. AS to what amounts there are in
free stores upon which duty has been paid
lowing to scarcity Of room in bonded
warehouses), no reliable data can be CIV
en-; but, according to the views of respon'
siblc parties in the trade, 1t is not proba'
BILE that those holdings exceed S3,5OO,OOO
in valuation, including duty, cost OF hand
ling, etc. The average cost per ton Of
pig iron in bond on the S0th OF
June is shade over so, exclusive OF
duty. At the present highest average
market value Of the various descriptions
of pig, there is an apparent loss OF 81 per
ton at least, representing about s2SS, GOO,
MS the minimum depreciation on the total
OF what remained over in bonded ware
houses at the close Of last month. On
scrap iron and old rails, the loss, reckoned
in similar manner, allowing but S. per
ton margin OF difference between present
market valuation and original cost, foots
up Si72,5OO. The loss on new iron rails is
about Sl47 900, and on steel rails about
$4,000. On these four articles alone re-
naming in bonded warehouses June S0Lh
the loss to importers will figure up fully
one million dollars, allowing that all could

happy inspiration four years since,
showing how ragged and ignorant young
girls might be taught housekeeping. 1t
began in scheme to teach them plain
sewing in the Wilson industrial school.
Here they were given one good meal every
day, and this INVOLVED so much work that
Miss Huntington taed to muster in some
OF the elder girls as temporary kitchen
help. To her diymay they were found 80
lamentably ignorant and clumsy that they
couldn't wash dish or peel potato.
This suggested to her the organization Of
large classes In house work, but then the
puzzle arose how to set them all at work at
time so they could be taught in classes.
This was solved by providing the girls
with toy utensils and drilling them In the
manual Of their use. There was six in the
class; but the project has been so success.

organized only eight months ago, has
spread to all the poor districts OF the city,

girls.
