Buenos Ayres is making excellent
sugar. India has begun to furnish the
world with more bark than Peru, more
wheat than Russia, and tea in quantities
which compare with China. Australia,
increasing it's wheat trade by leaps and
bounds, has begun the past year to send
fresh meats to London. The Hawaiian
islands add every year to their sugar ex-
port, and the islands of the great inter
ocean archipelago, from small continents
like Borneo to little groups like the Fiji
islands, are annually adding to their de-
velopment. In old industries like os-
trich farming at the Cape of Good Hope,
or the same pursuit in South America,
cultivation is taking the place of the
chase, adding to the product and decreas-
ing the price. The petroleum of the
Caspian Sea, the coal mines of southern
India are all being pushed, and worked
for the first time in history. Mexican
mines have never been worked since the
conquest as to-day, an6 northern South
America is beginning to stir itself in
spots. The United States is not the only
country in which sudden material adj
vance is apparent in internal develop
ment. The whole world is In the race,
riding on top of great wave of financial
prosperity, broken in France, still sweep

coming in on beach, certain to break

which the furniture has been designed
Popular interest seems to center in the
wonderful royal bedstead, quite an edi-
flee in itself. It is fourteen feet wide
and twenty feet high, and has a DOME
like canopy lined with rose-colored silk.
1t has the appearance of three European
beds joined in one, the center part of the
bed being about foot higher than the
sides. The material is walnut elaborate
~ carved and gilt. The chief decoration
OF the carver represents the tri ple-headed
elephant, the imperial crown, and the
state umbrellas, which compose the
royal arms. These arms are woven in,
imprinted, or carved, on the furniture
and upholstery of all the different apart
ments. For the queens drawing-room
all the furniture is gilt, even to the Erard
piano, and chairs and touches are
covered with rich fancy silks. For the
diningroom the side-board is of royal
dimensions, eighteen feet wide and as
many feet high. 1t is of solid mahogany,
and is adorned with fine carving. There
are furnishings also for the kings study
and news-room, including a writing desk
which is the envy of those who see it,
for the council chamber, the audience
chamber, the aquarium, the smoking
room and the various other apartments.
To execute this large orderseveral of the
ware-rooms of Messrs. Jackson & Ora
ham have been for some months turned
into workshops. The important business
OF packing will take some time, and the
shipment takes place during the present
month

Years 400.

Sunday began with shutdown Saturday
and ended with shutdown Sunday. All
enjoyment was forbidden, even the inno-
cent play of children. Every one who
could leave the house ON Sunday was ex-
pected to attend church. The most
prominent places were given to civil
magistrates. Worship consisted of pray
er, preaching and singing. The Bible
was not read till 100, when it was intro
duced in the. Brattle Street Church.
The length of the prayers were formid-
able, and their virtue consisted in their
length and extemporaneousness The
people hated the English prayer-book as
they hated Satan himself. They thought
it an insult to God. No musical services
were held with the others. Sermons
were of great length, and the services
must have occupied two or three hours.
Two services of this length, with an
hours intermission, occurred on every
Sunday. Instances are given of one
mans praying and preaching four or five
hours in one service. Everything in
social, political and religious life was
the subject of prayer. All doctrines
rested for proof on the Bible. The
people believed in the literal inspiration
of every word of the Bible; the preachers
denounced sinners with great vehemence,
and dwelt upon the wrath of God rather
than His love. Puritan churches were
as cold as barns, and had no fires. An
instance is on record where the cemmun-
ion bread froze before it was passed.
and ratified on the plates. Work and
pleasure were then compelled to give
way to religion. On Thursday, in Bos-
ton, the stores were closed in order that
people might attend the Thursday lee
ture. Religion was the chief business
of life. Prayers were offered on all &C.
casions, at the beginning of journeys
and at the end of journeys; at the begin
ming and end of town meetings, Religion
entered into all their daily matters;
religious observances extended into every
part of the week. Nothing was too
trifing or minute for their prayers. To
us it seems belittling to pray so much.
They thought man could do nothing
without Gods help. Their treatment OF
the poor included prayer as well as
medicine. In sickness, suffering and
sorrow prayer was their refuge and
strength. Reliance upon God gave them
them a mighty strength in their struggle
with pestilence and famine, with the
wild Indians and with the tyranny over
the sea. Religion planted the germs OF
American institutions and established
this republic over the sea. Had it not
been for their religious faith the country
could never have been settled.

THOUGHTS of Wise Men.

All men have their imprudent days.
Passion makes the will lord of the
reason.
There is no Steiner moralist than
pleasure.
Nothing overcomes passion more than
silence.
Study the past if you would divine the
future.
Few things are impossible to diligence
and skill.
It is the heart that makes the critic
not the nose.
The public sense is in advance of pri-
vate practice.
To know how to wait is the great secret
of success.
About the only force some people have
is the fore of habit.
The secret of felicity is iudicious in
terruption of routine.
The only really bitter tears are those
which are shed in solitude.
The first sure symptom of mind of
health is rest of heart and pleasure felt
at home.
There is nothing SO likely to produce
peace as to be well prepared to meet the
enemy.
Devote each day to the object then in
time, and the evening will find some
thing done.
Most of our misery comes from our
fearing and disliking things that never
happened at all.
There is no future pang can deal that
Justice on theself-condemned he deals on
his own soul.
If anything is possible for man, and
peculiar to him, think that this can be
attained by thee.
We cannot too soon convince ourselves
how easily we may be dispensed with in
this world of ours.
Life is full of bitter lessons, the SIM
plest of which is that one mans fall
makes forty men laugh.
If ever / should affect injustice il
would be in this, that / might do courte-
sizes and receive none.
Ones self satisfaction is an untaxed
kind of property which it is very un.
pleasant to find deprecated.

Florida ORANGES.
(Gath's Letter to Cinninnsti Enquirer. ]

A morning on Bay Street Jackson.
ville) is real treat to the stranger.
Here he first sees that Florida oranges
are q reality, and finds, on acquaintance,
that they are better to the taste than his
fondest dreams of oranges. No fruit
that have found, from the Mediterran-
can to the West Indies, is equal to
these oranges, and whether because they
are shipped from or diverted to favored
hands, the so-called Florida oranges in
New York do not taste like these. The
oranges of Los Angeles, in California,
eaten on the spot, remind me of the I'M
speakably rare, mellow, sugary nectar of
these Hesperidan apples of Florida,
which yet are their only reminder, like a
kiss from the original love. They are
tolerably expensive, even here. They
cost SIS box in Jacksonville, which [ es-
innate to contain 100 big oranges, or 5
cents apiece. The Mandaria, or kid-glove
orange, of very deep red color and
lumpy or squashy in look, which lady
can eat without staining her kid glove,
command as high $8 box. All along
Bay street oranges are exposed for sale,
and bare headed ladies are buying them,
and bazaars for the sale of live alligators,
teeth Of alligators, eggs Of alligators, sea-
shells, Florida jewelry, etc., abound.
How many oranges does Florida raise :?
Mr.. George w. Haines, agent for the
great railroad out of this state northward
answered this question without hesita-
ton to-day, saying:
"There have been 100000 boxes of
oranges shipped from Jacksonville, &C
cording to my best information, since
the LIST of October, and there still are
10000 boxes to be shipped from this
port, by reasonable computation. This
makes 10000 boxes from Jacksonville
and the river and railroad concurring
here. This is one-third of the orange crop
of all Florida which is, therefore, in the
neighborhood of $4,000 boxes of or
anges. The others are collected at the
gulf ports by steamships, or forwarded
by railroads other than ours"
Chow many oranges go to box ?"
They run from 1913 to 100 in a
box"
So the orange yield in Florida in 1881
80, or the season between October and
March, now current, is perhaps rs OOO,-
600, or an orange and a half for every
soul in America. Every girl who gives
her beau half her orange doubles up the
monsters share, and two to one he does
not appreciate it.

THE SNOW-FILLED NEST.
RY ROSE TERRY COOKE.

1t swings upon the leafiess tree,
BY stormy winds blown to and fro;
Deserted, lonely, sad to see,
And full of cruel snow.
In summers noon the leaves above
Made dewy shelter from the heat:
The nest was full of life and love:-
All life and love are sweet
The tender prooding of the day,
The silent, peaceful dreams of night,
The joys that patience overpay,
The cry of young delight,
The song that through the branches rings,
The nesting crowd with eager eyes,
The hutter soft of untitled wings,
The fight of glad surprise:-
All, all are gone! know not where;
And still upon the cold gray tree,
Lonely, and tossed by every air,
That snow-flled nest see.
I, too, had once a place of rest,
Where life, and love, and peace were mine
Even as the wild-birds build their nest,
When skies and summer shine.
But winter came the leaves were dead;
The mother-bird vas first to go,
The nestlings from my sight have fed;
The nest is full of snow. st. Nicholas.
