The " Chartatine" paper blankets
manufactured by Henry & Leigh
Slater of Manchester, England, which
were casually mentioned in the first
number OF the Paper World, are en-
tirely free from the defects which for
q long time prevented the Use OF paper
for bed coverings. These defects
were the cracking nature of the
paper and the impossibility Of secur.
ING free ventilation beneath the CO.
verings made from it. The paper
used in the Chartatine blankets IS
manufactured from the strongest
kind of fibre, which undergoes a
s%oftening process that does AWAY
with the rustling and cracking
sound common to the handling OF
paper. AS perfect and free ventila-
ton is obtained under these blankets
as under the ordinary wooden blank
cts. The paper bed covering is
made from two sheets of paper Sc
parated by a chemically prepared
layer of wadding, which is arranged
so that it cannot gather into Jumps.
The edges are strongly whipped so
that 1t is impossible for the two
pieces to become separated. The
new blanket looks very much like a
wooden one, and, in comparison with
The size and weight of the latter.
is warmer. The great cheapness OF
the paper blanket constitutes ITS
principal advantage. 1t is also
much stronger than one would ma
CINE it to be, and it would not be
surprising to see paper blankets
coming into general use IN the near
future.-The Paper World.

H AFGHAN WAR.

An estimate has been presented
10 Parliament Of the amount required
in the year ending the 31st of March,
1889, as an instalment of a grant in
aid of the expenditure incurred by
the Government of India upon the
wal in Afghanistan in the years 1873
1880. The amount is &50O,000 II
is stated in a note that the Imperial
grant in aid of this expenditure will
amount, in all, to $4,000, 600, Of
which part will be met by the re-
mission of the debt of G2.00O,O00
incurred by the Government of India
in 1879, under AZ and 43 Vic, c. 45,
and the remainder will consist of six
annual payments of $500, 600 each,
the second of which is provided for
in the present estimate. Ibid.

following account of what it is posi-
Bile to do in the I.imejuice trade,
ought to encourage local Agricultur-
lists whose means wont reach to a
sugar estate -
The valley of BattaIie (Dominica)
is one great field OF lime trees.
Twenty years ago DR. Imray con-
ceiyed the plan of converting a poor
ly-paying sugar plantation into an
orchard of lines, and he thus made
of a narrow valley a garden of profit
and delight. The majority Of the
trees are fifteen years old: they first
bear al three years of age, and
yield good crops at five years. Since
the first full crop he has realized n
large income from these trees, his
manager informing me that during
two seasons, the returns amounted to
two thousand pounds sterling each.
The trees are thickly planted, SO as
to shade the ground, and after they
acquire their growth, need no clear
ing beneath. A corps of boys and
girls gather the lines as they fall to
the earth-tEey are never picked
and carry them to the mill, where
they are passed between two upright
rollers such as were in use when the
sugar cane was raised there.
The expressed juice is conducted
to %evaporating pans, boiled down to
the consistency Of molasses- to a
density of one-tenth-and then run
into fifty-gallon hogsheads for ship
ment to England. 1t was worth, in
1877, about twenty pounds sterling
per hogshead and has brought thirty
pounds and the plantation has
yielded from seventy to eighty hogs
heads in q season.
The juice is used in making Citric
acid, and is shipped in its c%oncentra-
ted form to reduce freight. 1t would
seem possible to further reduce this
item of expense by the complete
crystallizatlon Of the juice,-Camp IN
the Caribbees, by Frederick 4. Ober.

saving clause, according to which IA days,
notice can annul any contract. AS already
mentioned, he had an engagement for 40
labourers !; if the parties keep the engage
ment those labOurers might be here i'll s or
10 days time; he would certainly endeayour
TO obtain the assistance from the Immigra-
tionfund according to law. Theimmigrants
are engaged for / year, after that they will
have no more contracts than our own
labourers. AS regards an Immigration
superintendent, if it should be necessary
to have such a man to inspect immigrant
labOurers, then he hoped we would get
him. AS regards tue amounts to be
refunded for End or 3rd years. engagement,
it might be found impossible to control the
movements at any rate it is incumbent
on Government to provide that, and the
accounts might be kept just as well by the
Police. Still, we ought to be very careful
to keep within the law. AS regards the
getting of immigrants, it appears that in
the ritish Colonies having Cooiie labour-
ers, the san difficulties existed, for
instance in Trinidad there was a special
Court for coolies, with interpreters etc.
and the expenses we're borne by the
Government. In the case of Cinnamon,
this would be avoided there would be no

where they live, provided only they can
save enough and form associations to have
their bones sent home to the celestial
country.
LIST Member for Frederiksted Fleming
said he had heard from a gentleman who
had witnessed the working of cinnamon in
California, that they are good labOurers
and that they could be recommended for
this Island. He would now beg in wind
ing up these discussions, to recommend
that the Government would make enquiries
as TO Cinnamon, if they are to be had, and
the terms on which other islands have
got them.
The Chairman thought that the question
of immigration had now been sifted as
much as was possible to day. AS regards
the laws on the matter, or in connection
with the matter, it would be necessary TO
study them; especially also this point, what
effect the abolition of the Labour Regula.
tions may have had on the immigration
Acts. We may now, from what we have
heard today, expect soon to see His
Excellency over here and planters should
avail themselves of His Excellency'S stay
here to lay before him the question of
immigration, which he, the Cha irman,
looked upon as one Of the greatest impor-
lance, not perhaps SO much because we
in reality have not q sufficient number of
labourers, but because these labourers do
not work sufficiently.
No one else requested the word.
The meeting was closed at 8 o'clock.

THE NEW TICHBORNE.

The New Tichborne Claimant
The New York Herald of June Goth
and 3Oth publishes long dispatches
from San francisco, which purport
to give Il faithful narrative OF the
wanderings of the i" long lost SIR
Roger" the new claimant to the
Tichborne estates. He has, it is
stated, for many years lorne the
name of Chatles Ogden Ferris, but
declares that his real name is TO-
ger Charles Tichborne, the only sur
yiyine son of Sir James Iichborne,
and Henrietta Felicite T%ichhorne."
He accounts for his long silence by
stating that as far back as 1884 ne
took an oath not TO reveal himself
until 1870, being in fear OF assassI
nation if his identity were established,
and he has kept his oath. The
narrative has been trawn up ny
General w. ii. L. Barnes, described
as a distinguished popular attorney
Of San Francisco, to whom it was
communicated by the new claimant.
General Barnes, it is stated, subject
ed him to a rigid cross-examlnatlon
for several days in the hope of con-
fusing him it he were an lmpostor'
but failed to do SO.

Does the Drought do any Goods

From an ErchGnge
The effect OF season of long con-
tinued drought is to improve the fer
tility of the soil. During such a sea.
son the water in the soil is contin@
ually rising to the surface by capil>
larry attraction and is there evaporat>
ed. 1t is precisely the reverse of
the teaching process. Too much
rain passing down through an open
soil, has the effect OF teaching out the
inorganic elements and carrying
them down beyond the reach OF the
roots of plants. This OF course has
the effect of impoverishlng the soil
by depriving it of those elements
necessary to the growth and maturi>
ty of plants. On the other hand
when drought sets in the moisture
from below which holds in solution
small portions OF potash, soda, mag>
nesia and phosphoric acid commences
to rise, and as it evaporates from the
surface it leaves behind it ip thu soil
near the surface those inorganic ele-
ments, just as the salt water when
evaporated will leave the salt behind.
In both cases only the pure water
escapes. All matters held il soiu>
ton remain. The effect of drought
therefore is to bring up from the sub
soil the elements mentioned and to
deposit them near the surface for the
use OF plants. 1t follows from this
that soils are improved by drought,
provided the amount of water nee
essarY to the growth of crop is
forthcoming. All of this goes to
that the soils of the drought stricken
sections are now m good condition
to receive the fall sowings ofrye,
oats and wheat with the promise of
a remunerative return. Sow rye on
sandy land and oats or wheat on stiff
er lands. The rye will afford excel
lent pasture for cattle or aheep. The
oats will save you much expenditure
for corn, and the wheat will be COIL
venient next summer and tal! when,
perhaps, flour may be eight or ten
dollars per barrel.

A True Cause of Regret.

It makes the heart of every philan-
thropist sad to see SO many worthless
patent medicines pulled and advertised
for the cure of chronic diseases. Usu-
ally the remedy is some vile cathartic
compound or alcoholic preparation,
combined with buchu, turpentine or
other severe diuretic that affords the
invalid only temporary relief, but which
has no lasting effect, and in truth even
tually brings on a complication of dis
eases arising from a state of wornout
and exhausted digestive and urinary
organs that nothing but death can re,
lieye. Invalids should trust more to
nature for their recovery. A gentle
medicinal tonic that stimulates enfee-
bled digestion and strengthens every
part Of the system by its soothing and
refreshing effect on both mind and body,
is natures truest and best assistant.
Such remedy is Browns Iron Bitters,
a medicine surprising the sale of all
other remedies whenever its merits be-
come known, for it acts in such perfect
harmony with the law of life and health
that all pulmonary, urinary and diges-
tive troubles are prevented and perma-
nently cured by its timely use. 1t
contains no alcohol, and will not blacken
the teeth. Physicians and ministers en-
dorse and recommend it.
