The box trade OF New Orleans ls con-
| siderable. The variety of Ioxes manufac-
turcd Is beyond calculation, as nearly every
trade demands q different species Of differ
ent shape or color, 80 as to readily distin-
guish the contents The manufacture of
boxes, whether Of wood or paper, Is 80 very
| simple that many Of the employees arc yet
| IN thcie teens, although tho heavy part of
the business ls performed by men. After
the logs have been made INTO planks they
pass TO the vencoring mills, where they arc
sawed into very thin boards. They are
then cut into the proper shapes and passed
on to the employees engaged at tho boxing
| machine, where they are tackled together.
In tho case OF packing boxes the work is
then completed but cigar boxes have to
be pasted with cdgings, labels, ETC., to give
them Il finished appearance. Among the
curious machine to be seen IN box factory
10 one for the manufacture Of strawberry
boxes. 1t ls a very complcatcd-looki
engine, made up Of cogs, wheels, cutters
and screws. Logs that 80 into this will
drop out nearly perfect boxes at tho other
end. The making of paper boxes is some
what more complicated. The pastcboard
is first placed in u cutting machine, where
II is cut into the desired shape ana size
The pastcboard is then subjected to the
scoring machines, which take tho place Of
at least ten hands. These have revolving
circular knives That half cut the pastcboard
as 1t passes, and thus allow it to be readily
bent. Ihe corners OF the pasteb0ard arc
then clipped by the corner machine, 80 as
to allow the sides of tho boxes to be turned
up in their proper shape. The sides arc
then pasted together. All this occupies
| five minutes. There arc no limits to the
box business. In 1870 there were 886
factories In the United States, producing
$l3,8S3, 944. This has probably doubled
| in tho last ten years.

whose domestic relations were only less

Is not larger than Jupiter, because Jupiter
IN his day was ''bigger man than old

Saturn is another evening star. lie

of botany Is best pursued In front Of the

Tho Advent, Of 'Cen.

Queer stories are told of the advent of
tea IN the fashionable market. The ignor-
ance Of its preparation was illimitable, and
fine ladies, determined to tread closely on
the heels of fashion, were compelled TO
take lessons In the art of brewing it. One
lady, before consenling to become u candi-
date for culinary honors, boiled several
pounds and served 1t as a vegetable. An
other, equally stupid, set forth her table
with 1t as dried fruit, snd naturally failed
to relish it. At the tea parties in tho seven.
tecnth century, the leaves from which tho
tea had been drawn were handed round to
be eaten, as a great dolIcacy, with bread
and butter. TO refuse was TO affront tho
giver IN this odd entertainment, and to
stamp oneself an "outcr barbarian" In the
realms Of gentility. Not so very long ago
1t was the general custom to carry to New
England tea parties ones own cup or tea
dish. The latter curious Yessel-from
eight to ten inches square and Oil inch deep
gave rise 10 the phrase "a dish OF tea. !"
