The Hudson River Tunnel.

The tunnel that is now being con-
structed under the Hudson river be-
tween Jersey City and New York was
originally intended to be a single one,
with an internal diameter of twenty-four
by twenty-six feet. The plans have now
been changed, the change consisting in
the driving oftwo separate tunnels, each
fifteen feet in height and sufficiently
wide to allow the passage of the largest
sized cars. The reason for the change
is not the impracticability of the original
plan, but the greater strength to befound
in the double tunnel. and q consider
able saving of expense in the construc-
ton thereof. Another point in favor OF
the double system is the heavy wall be-
tween the two behring's that will prove
of great value in holding up the roof
and superintendent mass of water. A
sheet iron casing, three. eighths of an
inch in thickness, will be carried some
fifteen or twenty feet in advance of the
workmen, thus protecting them from
any possible caving in of the roof or
sides. All the brick work will be
placed inside of the casing. With these
changes in the plans the managers and
engineers feel more confident than ever
that complete success will attend their
efforts to connect both sides of the Hud-
son by q subaqueous railway.

Pins,

The aggregate capacity ofthe pin man.
ufacturing establishments Of this
country, running ten hours per day, is
$3.50, 900 packs, o 70, 1000 papers Of
pins a year; u Is, 740, 800, 900 pins,
which would give every man, woman
and child in the United States 469 pins
each per year. As showing the great
improvement hat has been made in
this industry, it may be stated that less
than fifty years ago the whole number
of pins that could be made per man, was
fourteen per minute; now it has become
more than l,400 per man. In sticking
on papers the average for one girl was
about 10000 pins per day then now it
has reached 800, coo to 1000, 900 per day.
Pins were worth, previous to the inven-
ton of machinery by American skill
and ingenuity, $l.O0 per pack; 10Y they
are sold of the same weight and better
quality, for fifteen to twenty cents per
pack, less than the cost of the wire the
pins were made Of New York Mercan-

Romance Of q Picture.

A picture by Millais, the celebrated
painter, proved the means of getting
ayoung lady q wealthy and ~aristocratic
husband. A Mr.. Godbe recently started
in London a bank, called the London
Bank of Utah" The secretary of this
institution is q Mr.. Armstrong, formerly
an opulent merchant in London, but
latterly reduced in circumstances. Mr..
Armstrong has two charming daughters,
and before his bad fortune overlook him
he engaged Mr.. Millais TO paint their
portraits. The pictures were considered
not only remarkable likenesses, but adj
mirable works Of art. The young ladies
were represented rs Might" and
Morning" Owing to Mr.. Armstrong;
misfortune, these two pictures were,
with the rest of his household effects,
brought under the a%uctioneer's hammer.
The wealthy and well-connected young
gentleman who purchased one Of the
portraits fell in love with the lovely face
it represented, and never rested until he
had sought out, been introduced, and
was finally married TO the beautiful
original.

Willows and Osiers.

Many suppose that OSier is the gen
eral term for all basket willows. This
is a mistake, and ono which has proba-
bly, given the impression hat willows
could not be grown in this county,
The Osier (Sdlir ViMinalis) Is the very
poorest Of the basket willows, fitted only
for the coarsest work. Hence it is ne.
cessary for those who would grow willows
to look into the matter Of quality, and
plant the better kinds. 1t is a common
notion that willows grow best on wet
land. 1t may be that the plants will
grow faster, but the best basket willows
are grown on any good grain land, and
are injured by undue moisture in the
soil,

The recent farmers institute Of the
Worcester South Agricultural Society at
Warren, developed a sensation. DR..
Noah Cressey, OF Amherst, gave a lee
ture on the disease of domestic animals,
and when he came to tuberculosis, Mr..
Paige, Of Hardwiok, WHO is p~aralyzed
in his legs, asked to make a statement,
and went on to say that he had bought
three Ayrshire heifers at the Amherst
agricultural college. They gave milk
last gear, but, as it was not OF s~atisfac-
tory quality, he decided to fatten one of
them for beef. He found it hard TO put
flesh on the animal, and when finally,
the last Of November, she was killed,
she vas found to be so full Of tubercu-
losis that the whole carcass was almost
q mass Of corruption. Mr.. Paige pro-
duced a specimen cut from the side of
the animal, and DR.. Cressey pronounced
the disease tuberculosis of long stand
ing. MIR. Paige further said that his
two children, who had fed on the milk
of the heifers, had exhibited serious
symptoms Of blood poisoning, and he
also claimed that his own paralytic
stroke was due to the same cause. DR..
Cresyey was questioned by DR.. Wake
field and others present, and said that
be knew OF other herds of cattle that had
been infected but declined to say where
they were. 1t said that DR.. Cressey's
separation from the college was due to
disagreement with the faculty as to the
existence of tuberculosis among the
cattle on the college farm, he claiming
that it did not exist. In view of the re.
cent large auction sale Of stock at the
college and the fact that very many cat
tie bred there have gone out among the
farmers, it becomes a serious question
whether diseased cattle have been sent
out by the college. The farmers at the
institute were much excited over the
matter.

CHAPLAIN WEAVER.


The Boomers have q chaplain. Weaver,
everybody in Wichita knows Weaver, the
jolly J. T., who never tails of u chance ia
stand up with the crowd and take suthin for
his stomach's sake. Well, he has been play.
ing chaplain for the boys on the border.
Wouldn't the old frequenters of the corner
enjoy hearing Weaver pray just once! He
breaches, too, the dispatches inform us, or
did before the Boomers ran so short on grub.
Weaver, a year since, was going to build q
distillery in Wichita. but whisky has come
to be about as uncertain rs the Oklahoms
enterprise. Imagine Dave Payne with his
hat off and head bowed to a reverential All.
gle while Weaver offers up his morning sup
plcations, and Hutch and Maidt and the rest
of the boys impatiently rubbing the frozen
ground with their knees waiting for the amen.
The fear that the outfit might come back to
Wichita while their religious fcrvor is on and
start new church, almost makes us wish
that the boom may be crowned with success.
