ABDICATIoN OF KING IRON.

Silently, ~peaceably and resigned, king
iron lays off his long and well worn re-
gal crown, prostrates his rusty scepter,
bows to the younger, more vigorous.
more tenacious aud naughty monarch
who takes up a glittering blade of a
clear, cold ring, and ascends the vacat-
ed throne with crown of bristliug cleo
trio stars and gives the word to a host
of attendants of which king iron never
dreamed.
But to come down to prose, the place
which iron has so long held-the lion
age is passing away, and it is now the
steel age. There was a stone age, an
age of bronze, and with them the age
of iron is a thing of the past.
The vast uses to which iron has 50
long been put in implements, tools, and
machinery, has passed away, and cast
or rolled, or hammered steel is just As
readily provided, and that with an
economy nearly doubled, inasmuch rs
less weight, greater strength, and great
OF wear are Ill SECURED.
If we look upon steel as only a refined
iron, then this substitution is no won-
der. In the invention by which mild
steel is made so abuHdantly the world
has been enabled to produce steel at "a
cheaper rate than iron, if tina iron was
to be used for rolling into rails or mer-

construction of steel plants when ''pig
steel''-or ingot steel ready for rolling
into the various forms of rails. bar, an
giles, sheet and drawing into wire, will
be furnished ready for use, with only
the necessity of heating.
This is very largely done now in the
fact that the iron rail mills have changer
to mills for rolling steel, and are im
porting blooms for hat purpose.
Beyond this the cost IF iron and
steel rails are now the same per ton.
while the fact that Il much lighter steel
rail will do the same service renders The
steel rail not only more economical bun
a IA can b. laId for less money witt
steel than with iron.
Few new iron rails are now making
and the simplest disposal of old ones il
to melt them and convert into steel.
The shutting down of the iron rail mills
of many plants suggests this compari
son, while the innovations making by
the new steel plant at South Chicago,
aud others, warrants the 81 atrment that
steel can to-day be furnished cheaper in
America than iron, and the new era Of
production is lhus limited at and an i'll
timation given Of the future course If
the iron and steel industry, while thu
suggestion is made to iron mills of the
true disposition of their plants. The
Bessemer patents are now free to any
who chose to build and use.

There is a strange anomaly existing
at this time in the industrial condition
The slight fear of disaster which croak
ers and free traders have brought upon
the country in the shape of a ''scare"
just when the effect of short crops are
being felt on the railroad companies,
and in a diminished ability to purchase
manufactures, with the decline and
want of confidence in railway shares,
has caused and worried manufacturers,
80 rs to lesson expenses, if possible, and
In II measure reduce cost or lesson pro-
duct. At the same time the higher
prices of provisions is the only thing the
wOrkmen sees, and forthwith he strikes
for higher wages.
Now the question Is one for profit and
loss, for supply and demand to consid-
er. 1t costs the workman more to live,
and he thinks he should have more pay.
The manufacturer cannot afford it, but
can he afford the break of a strike? In
many instances it would be better to
reduce the time or the force, and leave
the workman to see plainly that the
question is simply one of supply and
demand, profit and loss. Rather thar
a strike for higher wages, fewer men
may be a better immediate policy.

Mr.. Thomas l. Russell, n of the
best known cabinet makers and under
takers in Wilmington, Del, says he
contracted an exceedingly severe attack
of rheumatism this winter. He is sub.
jrct to the disease, but rarely ever felt
it so severely as he did the time now
under consideration. The disease locat-
ed itself in his right leg and foot, rem
dering that member so stiff and sore
that he could not move without endur-
ing eXcruciating pain. st. Jacobs oil
had been Sc highly recommended that
he concluded to try 1t. He has every
cause to be glad that he did so. Two
applications of the wonderful remedy
gave him entire relief, and he has not
been troubled with rheumatism since.
Mr.. Russell says he considers st. Jacobs
oil a very fine remedy for rheumatism,
and now keeps it by him for ready use.

Working Before breakfast.

A bad custom is prevalent in nan
families, especially among farmers, of
working an hour before breakfast, at
tending to Chores" hoeing the garden,
cutting wood, moving, etc. This is con-
venient on many accounts, but it is not
conducive TO health. The prevalent
opinion is that the morning air is the
purest and the most healthful and brac-
ing; but the contrary is the fact. At no
hour of the day is the air more filled with
dampness, fogs, and miasmas than about
sunrise. The heat of the sun gradually
dissipates these miasmatic influences as
the day advances, Everybody knows
the laugour and fiinlness often expert
enced for the first hour of the morning,
and this is increased by exertion and
want of food. We do not agree with
the boarding school rule, which prescrib-
ed a long walk before breakfast as a
means Of promoting health. Probably
the best custom would be to furnish eve
ny member of the flmily-especialy,
those who labor out of doors-a cup Of
coffee Immediately after rising from
bed.

The First Store.pIpe Had.

Yes, son, you are correct. The first

body looks at you. Not, as you vainly

man who eve wore a ~stove-pipe hat,
but because it is apparent even to the
old blind man who sits in the back pew,
without any cushion in, away back I'M
der the gallery where the poor have the
gospel preached at them, that it is the
frst time you ever wore a hat of that de-
scription. Your old father claps IL on

into his pockets, holds up his head and
walks off down the street in n gale of

Pouring Oil on Troubled Waters.

A New York paper says: Pouring oil
on troubled waters is generally regarded
by sea captains moro IS q fine sentiment
than rs a practical hint to be observed
in time of danger, but as far back as
l770, a Dutch East Indian trader claim
on a t~reacherous reef, by pouring q jar
Of olive oil on the sea. Later, another
instance is recorded in Which q vessel
having been wrecked in a hurricane, a
cask Of lamp oil, which was kept in a
small boat, became broken, and soquiet-
ed the sea in the immediate vicinity,
that most of the crew succeeded in get
ting to an island near by.
Captain Jarman, of the ship Romsdal,
stated to a reporter, that although lie
had long known of the wonderful effects
of oil poured upon a rough sea, yet he
had never put his knowledge into prac-
teal use until the last voyage. The
subject having been recalled to his mind
lately by a little article in one of the
seaman's tracts, he determined to test
the recipe. He caused to be made two
canvas sacks, shaped like a bottle, each
having the capacity of about three gall
Ions Of oil. These he filed with COM
mon lamp oil. Soon after, in the mid
do of the Atlantic, he encountered a vi
client hurricane with terrible seas,
winch lasted ABOUT twenty nOur5- Inc
waves broke over the stern aRd threat
ened to swamp the vessel. Remember
ing his oil, he punctured the canvas
bags, and caused one to be towed v
each quarter. The effect, he said, was
magical. The waves, although remain
ing at the same height, no longer broke
over the sto-n; several yards around,
where the oil had spread on the water,
was apparently a calm. The ship
was thus relieved from the tremendous
shocks ofheavy seas breaking over her,
and the danger was considerably less
ened. Captain Jarman thinks that the
use of oil in case of a ship hove to in a
storm, would be a very good thing. He
says that although this was the first
timo he had ever tried the experiment,
it was not novel by any means. lie
had known cases in which crews had
escaped from vessels when it would
have been impossible to lower a boat
without its being swamped, except that
oil was thrown over The ships side

ed with oil that the water remained

method is so simple and so inexpensive
that he intends TO have oil bags always
ready for use hereafter.
