are now employed in the various de-
partments of the establishment, an
increase of 175 since last year at this
time. Upon entering the manufac-
tory one is struck with the stir that
is seen on every side. The buildings
are crowded to overflowing with ma
chinery and men, and every inch oil
room seems to be utilized.
The various departments Of the
factory are the following The iron
and brass foundries, operated by
Taylor & Boggis, occupying a space
about 60x200, and employing about
80 men; and the machine shops, oc-
cupying two floors, each 52x115, and
employing about 100 men ; the wood
working and packing shop, 52x125,
employing 40 men; the lamp and
testing department, 52x155, giving
employment to go men; the carbon
department. 40x70, operated by 20
men; the tin shop, with four men;
the japanning ovens, with three men
total of about 277 men.
In the moulding room of course all
the heavy iron work that enters in to
the construction of the electric light
machine Is made. Adjoining the
moulding room is shop where brass
moulders ere constantly at work get
ting out the brass works used in con-
nection with the machines and lamps.
The carbon room is 40 feet one way
and 20 feet the other. Here the car
bons are manufactured. They are
made by adding certain proportion
of pitch to powdered coke. The
mixture is then placed in moulds, ,af-
ter which 1t is subjected to the pres
sure of 200 tons. The carbons are
then placed in a furnace, where they
are kept at white heat for many
hours. Formerly ia great many OF

Alabaster Boxes of Human Sympathy.

Do not keep the alabaster boxes OF
your love and tenderness sealed up I'M
til your friends are dead. Fill their
lives with sweetness. Speak approving,
cheering words while their ears can
hear them, and while their hearts can
be thrilled and made happier by them /;
the kind things you mean to say when
they are gone, say before they go. The
flowers YOU mean to send for their cot
Tins. send to brighton and sweeten their
homes before they leave them. If my
friends have alabaster boxes laid away,
full of fragrant perfumes of sympathy
and affection, which they intend to
break over my dead body, | would
rather they would bring them cut in
my weary and troubled hours, and open
them, that | may be refreshed and
cheered by them while | need them. !
would rather have plain coffin with
out flower, funeral without a eulo-
gy, than life without the sweetness OF
love and sympathy. Let us learn to
anoint our friends beforehand for then
burial. Postmortem kindness does not
cheer the burdened spirit. Flowers on
the coffin cast no fragrance backward
over the weary way.-SeIected.

soon be fed.
Ihave just received word from Mr..
Smyth, saying that four of the young
men of the training school who attend
ed the meetings have decided to be-
come Christians, and three from the
Chunnargam boys school. 1t is said
that many men, especially those who
have been educated in mission schools,
would gladly become Christianst but
are kept back by their heather wives.
These women, when not educated, are
extremely bigoted. They tell their hus-
bands that if they become Christians
they will throw themselves into the
well and they mean what they say.
These mothers take their young chill
dren to the temple and teach them to
bow before the idol, and smear their
faces with ashes.

The year 1880 was more prolific OF
railway accidents than any since 1875.
The Railway Gazette has kept the rec
ord for eight years and only twice-in
1873 and lS75-has the record of last
year been exceeded. In 1873 the acct
dents numbered 1,283, ia 1875 there
were POI. Last year there were
1,076. The victims of these mishaps
were: Killed, 3l5; injured, l,172.
Only in 1876 has the record of killed
been surpassed. The number of in
jured was equaled in 1873, but in no
year surpassed. OF the accidents, 437
are reported as collisions, 597 as de-
railments and "A from other causes
The great number of collisions indicate
growing carelessness, as it is the largest
on record.
