A Discount on Babies.

Let me conclude, says a Paris CORES
pondent, with the recital of fact illus
trative of a trait characteristic in
France. / am proud to number among
my friends brave house porter (con-
cierge) and his wife, who always receive
me pleasantly when | look in at their
lodge to inquire if one of my friends.

other day / missed the good wife's face,
and inquired of the husband where she
was. He pointed to the small bedroom
back of the lodge. ''Shr' he whisper
ed; mother and child are well; it is a
little girl, and was born last night /
paid my compliments and went my way.
He seemed brimful of fatherly affection,
A few days after, having occasion to
call on my friend again, looked into
the lodge and found the new mamma
seated by the fire, pale but happy. I
congratulated her on her daughters ar

The Marriage Life.

The marriage life is always an insipid,
a yexatious. or a happy condition. The
first is when two people of no genius, or
taste for themselves meet together
upon such settlement as has been thought
reasonable by parents and conveyancers,
from an exact valuation Of the land and
cash of both parties. In this case the
young lady is no more regarded than the
house and improvements in purchase of
an estate; but she goes with her fortune,
rather than her fortune with her These
make up the crowd, and fill up the lum-
Der OF the human race, without benefit
cence toward those. below them, or respect
to those above them. The yexatious life
arises from a conjunction of two people
OF quick taste and presentment, put to-
gether for reasons well known to their
friends. in which especial care is taken
to avoid what they think the chief of
evils, poverty, and insure to them riches,
with every evil beside. These people
live in a constant constraint before COM
pany. When they are within observa-
ton they fret at each others carriage
and behavior; when alone they revile
each others conduct. The happy mar
riage is where two persons meet and
voluntarily makeTchoice of each other,
without principally regarding or neglect
ing the circumstances of fortune or
beauty. These may still live in spite of
adversely or sickness; the former we
may, in some measure, defend ourselves
from; the other is the portion of our
very make. go

The Peppermint Oron.

The peppermint crop of the United
States has for the past few years reached
the amount of 10000 pounds per year,
of which about $4,000 pounds were an
nually exported. Two-thirds of the pep
permint Oil of this country is produced
in New York and about one-third in
Michigan. The best oil comes from
Wayne county, N. Y, where it is care
fully prepared by a man named Hotch-
kiss, whose name it bears, and usually
brings 90 cents more than the common.
The plant is perennial one and is
planted in the spring. The next year it
is ready for cutting and generally may
be cut for three years. The best yield
is given in the first and second years of
the cutting; in the third year the plant
becomes bitter. After the plant becomes
four years old it is not cut, and the field
is plowed over and new crop planted.
The usual method of planting is in rows,
and in August the plant is ready for
cutting. Food and Health.

Some Goal Figures.

Coal is the most precious thing of our
mineral wealth. It was first mined in
Richmond, Va, about the year 1850.
The anthracite of Eastern Pennsylvania
was first discovered twenty years later.
Coal in this huge deposit is found over
an area of 472 square miles, affording,
it has been computed, a supply of 25,-
100000 tons a year for 525 years from
the year 1875. The great Appalachian
basin embraces an area of coal-bearing
rocks of nearly $4,000 square miles, and
is second in Importance to the anthracite
region. Ohio comes next. Other sources
of supply are in Michigan, Iowa, Wis
consin, Kansas and Arkansas. 1t would
be safe to give the total production of
coal in the United States at 100000
tons per wear.

The Census Of our Iron and Steel In


The report of Special Census Agent
j. NJ. Swank on iron and steel shows q
steady growth in these industries in the
United States, and healthful condition.
In ten years the number of manufacto-
RES devoted to the production Of iron and
steel increased from sos to 1,0O5. The
blast furnace establishments numbered
in the census year 40, but many of these
contained more than one furnace, the
total number of the latter being 681.
The value OF all materials used in 1870
was S135. 526, 1872; in 1880, $191, 271, $50.
The value of products was 1926, 657, 6S5
In 1880, against $277, 208, 500 at the
earlier date. Employment was given
IN these establishments to 140, 97S hands,
against " ,555 in 1870. The wages paid
IN 1880 amounted to $55, 476, 785. In
tons the steel and iron production OF
1880 was ,265, 40, an increase of 49, rs
per cent. in ten wears. With few excep-
tons all the States and Territories which
produced iron in 1870 increased their
yield in 1880. South Carolina, which
in 1870 produced 443 tons, yielded none
in 1880. In the earlier year only four
States produced more than 100. 900 tons
each; in the later year twelve States re-
CURED six figures to represent their pro-
ductlon. Pennsylvania, of course, ranks
at the head of iron-produeing States,
and so far ahead as to be practically out
ofsight of its nearest competitor. Ohio.
The Keystone made 3,616, 668 tons, and
the Buckeye 1904 tons. New York
was third, with $4,000 tons. The. per-
centage of total production in 1880 was
distributed as follows: PENNSYLVANIA, sc
per cent; Ohio. IS; New York, 8; Hi
nois, s; New Jersey, 3; Wisconsin anc
West Virginia, each over per cent.
Michigan and Massachusetts, each nearly
2 per cent; Missouri, Kentucky and
Maryland, each over II cent; Indiana,
over l per cent; Tennessee, about pei
cent, and all other States and Terrific
ries, an aggregate of about per cent.
The production of rails reached 1,217,-
1877 tons in the late census year of which
AL, AIS tons were iron and TAI, AIS Bes-
semer steel. The production of blooms
and box-iron reached 1858 tons OF

The Old Mil at Newport, r. I.

A writer in the Waterman, the Bap-
fist organ, says the poetry has at length
been effectually taken out of the venera
BILE stone structure at Newport, so far
as any Scandinavian origin or flavor IS
concerned What all cool-headed and
sensible Rhode Islanders have firmly
believed and steadfastly maintained
from reliable records and analogies has
now been confirmed-that it was built
for mill by some of the first settlers of
Aquidnec, probably by Governor Bene-
dict Arnold. The proof of this fact now
adduced is a Autograph engraving rep
resenting q mill built at Chesterton.
England, in 1852, near where Benedict
Arnold at that time resided. The Chest
erton mill and the Newport mill are as
much alike as two peas. The Chester
ton mill was sketched and Autographed
by p. Newell, an English artist, now
residing in this country, and good
copy is now in the possession of the
Rhode Island Historical Society. Old
believers in the great antiquity of the
Newport mill, that it was erected by
the Northerners for sacred or secular
purposes-one poetica1 genius imagin-
inc it was baptistery-and all we'll
nigh worshipping under its shadow, are
now becoming beautifully and decor
ously less. Still the old, odd. massive,
rude-wrought structure is worthy of
some veneration, and should be most
carefully preserved, both as the work of
some of the fathers of Newport and as
the occasion and text of q great many
ingenious pages of prose and poetry.
The old stone mill answered for gar
rison-house for the inhabitants of New
port during the terrible months of King
Philips War, in 1886. when there
were at least thirteen garrison-houses
in what now constitutes the State of
Rhode Island.
