Irish Moss in Wooden Mills.
From the Boston Commercfql.I

The whole cropof Irish moss has been largely
bought up by two or three concerns this year,
and firm of wholesale druggists in Liberty
square, Boston, is said to have about 5000 bar
rels or 100000 pounds The entire crop gath
cred in the vicinity of Scituate, Mass, and
elsewhere, is not over 1l,000 barrels. The
moss is selling to-day at six to eight cents
pound. The fact that the firm who holds the
largest proportion Of this years supply of moss
are also large dealers in all kinds of supplies for
wooden and cotton mills, is q reminder that
Irish moss is being used to some extent by
wool manufacturers. The cost of oil for lubri-
eating wool is a considerable item in a wooden
mill, and it is claimed that the expense can be
reduced by The use of Irish moss in the follow
ing manner: In a wooden vat about eighteen
buckets of water are put and steam intro
duced into it to boil. About three pounds
of soda ash is then introduced, after which
from four to five pounds of Irish moss is put
into bag, and the latter, well tied placed
into the soda bath The steam tap is then open
ed and the water boiled for about four hours
while it is stirred about once every hour. The
bath takes up certain quantity of the gelatne
which is made from the moss, aud varies in
strength according to its quality. When the
mixture has cooled little, three parts of this
are mixed with one part of oil. \ little prac-
tce will show how much moss should be taken,
for too much is not good. and when enough
geatine has been extracted from the bag, the
remainder may be used for the next mixing.
For 20 pounds of white wool quarts Of the
mixture and 1 pint of water are 30 be taken;
for dye wool, Il quarts should be taken, and 1
to pints of water. Where "a wool is to be used
for proportionately fine counts, little more
oil may be used in mixing; for instance II
quarts instead of quarts for white wool or a
little more water may also be added. As in
this mixture good deal of water is contained
which soon evapOrates, it is not advisable to
make large miIings, or, where more has been
mixed than is Immediately wanted, to store
this in a cool, damp fire-proof place. Where
goods are dyed light coOrs in the piece, the use
of Irish moss is not recommended, as the cloth
may then easily get notified. For wooden
manufacturers use, Irish moss would be more
valuable if washed less than it is at present
In fact, the moss gatherers of Scituate impair
the value of their merchandise for brewers use
also by washing away much of the gluten.

General sherman md the Army.

General Sherman, in his report for the past
year, says that the fear of exceeding the limit
of $4,000 men in the army, or the difficulty of
enllstlng men in these prosperous times, has
kept the army below what the honor or the
necessity of the country demands, and he
advises a change of the limit to 10000 The
troops during the transition period on the from
tier, he says, have lived in holes in the ground,
in houses made of green cottonwood logs, in
Tested by vermin, in temporary shanties, gener-
ally without murmur; but now this battle
with poverty is over, or nearly so, and he
appeals to Congress to confer on the President,
the Secretary of War, or on a board of general
officers, the power to designate the places of
strategic Importance at which to erect suitable
permanent buildings for properly quartering
the troops.
Under the head of Courts Martial" he says:
Il invite your attention to the report of Gen.
Mcdowell, who instances how we cling to old
notions prohibiting courts martial from sitting
after three o'clock p. M, because 100 years ago,
IN England, officers were won't to dine and get
drunk at that hour. Now, we dine when we
can, keep sober all the time, and there is no
reason why courts martial should not sit all
night if necessary to reach a verdict the same
as civil jury"
There was loss to the army by desertion
of 1921 This is a most serious matter. The
chief cause is that most of the recruits enlist in
New York or the larger cities, are transported
to the West, where by desertion, at little risk of
capture and punishment they obtain the highest
wages. The remedy will be found in more
liberal treatment of good soldier and a more
certain punishment of the deserter. I there
fore recommend that the pay of enlisted men
be restored to what it was in 1866, and that the
punishment for desertiou be more clearly de-
fined by law and increased in severity. Aggra-
waited cases during active campaigns or in the
Indian country should be treated as capital
as is done under almost every civilized govern
ment"

Good Understanding on the Border.

From the Austin tTerds) Sit7ingSl
The Mexican eustOm-hOuse official is capable
of approaching joke if his attention is called
to it. At least, we infer he is amenabIe to
humor from what gentleman, who has just
retured to Austin from Monterey, tells US. His
trunk was searched at Laredo but nothing con-
traband was discovered, although the official
was particularly careful in looking into every
hole and corner of the trunk He even ex-
plored the cavernOus recesses Of pair of new
boots the American traveller had in his trunk,
whereupOn the Gringo remarked: There is
nothing in those boots, but there is something
in the other pair" The custom-house official,
after an Intellectual hunt for the other pair,
asked: Where are those other boots that have
got something in them?" Here" said the
American, pointing to the pair of boots he had
on, and in which there certainly was something,
they being number elevens. As the MexicIns
have very small feet the absurdity of the joke
caused that Mexican to keep on smiling for
three whole days.

Great praise is due to the Board of Control
for their selection of the men who comprise the
Board of Direction who have been indefatiga-
BILE in their efforts to make success of the
fair. The Chairman, Mr.. J. W. Thompson, has
fine record in all public enterprises, while
much is due to the unceasing, intelligent labors
of the corresponding secretary, Captain F. T.
Wilson, to whom all look for direction, and who
has shown great executive ability in dealing
with the immense correspondence which has
poured in upon him.
The railway companies have provided half

The advertisement of the Equitable Life
Assurance society which appears in an
other column will arrest attention. The
Equitable Life Assurance society is a
purely mutual company, and all profits are
divided among the assured, but under the
law its board of fifty-two directors were re.
quired to subscribe capital of 100000
for the benefit Of policy-holders, before
making single contract. The dividend
upon this capital being limited by the char.
ter of the society to- per cent, and this
capital having been at the beginning IN.
vested in I per cent. securities, the policy
holders have not only the benefit OF more
satisfactory system of management, but
the additional security which the capital
affords.
