FACTS AND FIGURES.

One pound of glueaboiled in two
quarts of skinned milk win resist the
action ofwater.
North Carolina is to be oongratu-.
lated on the fact that her handful of
manufacturers in 1870 have increased to
sixty-tive cotton factories, with 1875, 900
spindles; $50 tobacco factories, and
numerous machine shops, all running
on fun time and often overworked.
The revenue books show that dur
ing the ycar 1880 $3,561, 800 were re-
,ceiyed for revenue stamps from the
match manufacturers of the United
States. This would make the number
OF matches consumed 1858, 100000, or
about 700 matches per year. to every
man, woman and child in the Union.
The improvements recently in the
simplest processes of manufacture, and
especially in carding cotton, are of the
most remarkable character. A, saving
Of even three to five per cent. in uuanti-
ty utilized, and in strength all the
thread-spin effected by an improve
ment Of the carding process alone, is so
much added to the value of the cotton
crop as a whole.
In the manufacture of altar of roses
at Gharapore, Hindoostan, the petals of
the flowers are put into clay stills, with
twice their weight of water, and the
produce exposed to the fresh air for a
night in open vessels. The altar is
skinned from the exposed pans, and
sells at Flo the rupee weight, to make
which 10000 roses are required. 1t is
frequently adulterated with sandal wood
oil.
1t is estimated that electricity
travels at a rate 100000 times as
fast as the nervous force, or. according
to Weber, animal tissues have a con.
ductiVity only one-tifty-millionth of that
of copper wire: Light moves about
two-thirds as fast as electricity. A
railroad train, speeding along at sixty
miles an hour, would be moving at
about the same rate as an ordinary
nervous impulse, or nearly so.

How q Philadelphia Reporter Came
West, Got Married and Grew Rich.

Two years ago. says a Philadelphia
paper, the Western fever took possess
sion Of the soul of William E. Jones, a
Philadelphia newspaper reporter.
While his mind seemed filed with the
idea OF starting out for wilderness
where he could pitch his lodge and
grow up with the country, his fellow
scribes, knowing that his bank account
was not as big as Jay Gould's, and that
the walking was bad and the Indians at
that time were searching for the topknots
OF dove. eyed young men, took turns at
him to dissuade him from his purpose.
But their eloquence was wasted. Jones
had broken out bad with the fever, and
60 he would if his shoes held together.
Finding him fixed in his purpose. he
was referred to Lou Donnelly, then a
Fifth Ward statesman in Common
Councillor Donnelly had been West
looking after his silver mine, and was
regarded as just the right sort of per-
son to advise a tender young man as to
how he should conduct himself in West
ern society. Donnelly looked at Jones
and saw a good head of hair, a pale
face over which a fragile whisker was
struggling, and a form that indicated
he was in no way related to the Cardiff
giant.
IF you 60 West, Jones, and want to
make your mark, you will have to have
your scratch and lick your man. As
long as you are in it, lick him good.
and your fortune is made" He didn't
look it, but there was not square inch
OF cowardice in the whole anatomy of
Jones, who, thanking Donnelly for his
consideration, seized his grip sack and
started for the railway depot and let
out. The next time Mr.. Jones was
heard from he was doing service a.
city editor of the Denver Tribune.
lime passed on, and nothing further
was learned of the adventurous and
ambitious reporter until Yesterday.
when Donnelly returned from the land
of silver mines and bowie-knives. When
questioned about Jones the miner smiled
all over, and remarked: '.He struck q
big deal in that advice I gave him,
sure. He had been in Denver but q
short time when a long-haired knife
swallower tackled him. 1t was the talk
of the town. Jones went for that chunk
Of humanity and chawed him right up.
The next day he was made managing
editor OF Leadville paper. He's a
popular man out that way. Now he
owns a paper of his own. And what
does he do but marry Miss O'Brien of
Leadville, a daughter of one of the
wealthiest and most prominent citizens
of the place.

Two AffectiOnate Rivals.

There were several men clustered
around the stove in the back room of q
Galveston saloon, and somehow or other
the subject OF newspapers came up for
discussion. One man said that editors
were more jealous of each other than
any other class; that they never had q
good word for each other, etc.
A long haired youth, with q solemn
look, spoke up, and heaving a sigh, said
that he had had some experience with
editors, and he found them the reverse

said that the editor of the Buqle had a

the editor of the Trombone was his
warmest personal friend, and he would
be glad if I would let him have the

his mouth and clothes on his back. So.
owing to the love those editors had for
each other, I couldn't get my poem into
either Of their papers, and It hasn't
been published yet. 1 never saw men

RELIGIOUS AND EDUCAYIONAL.

Wesleyan University has adopted
the co-educati0n system. There are
ten girl students, seven of whom arr,
members of the class of '84.
The Evangelical Synod of North
America, which represents the united
or State Church OF Prussia, has 4O8
pastors, $40 congregations and 8O,61O
communicates.
When money is to be raised in
heathen lands, and the converted
heatllsn have no money, they often sell
their furniture and trinkets and give
the proceeds to the church.
Tho old Carmelite convent in Lis
bon now bears over it's gateway the
inscription Presbyterian Church, the
building having been purchased of the
Portuguese Governments.
England has given this country
many ministers, but Perth Amboy, N.
j., now sends one to the old country.
The Rev. S G. Woodrow goes from tho
Perth Amboy Baptist Church to that
OF Wakinghan. It is a pleasant coin
cidence that Mr.. Woodrow's father and
grandfather were pastors of the Wax
ingham church.
When the Rev. Mr.. Wright, pastor
OF church at Hampstead, England,
died, his congregation wanted to raise q
monument to his memory, and for that
purpose subscribed about $4,000. 1t
was concluded that the best memorial
to him would be gift to the Churcl,
missionary Society, to enable it to send
out a missionary. SO the monument
took that shape.
There are at present laboring in
India at least twenty-eight different
church organizations, representing, bod
