The Rochdale plan OF cooperative stores,
which divides the profits among the purchasers
instead ofshareholders, is successful in Eng
land In the aggregate these establishments
divided last year nearly 10 per cent. on the
gross amount of their sales. This Is equal to
GO per cent on the share capital-a much lar
ger ratio than the private dealer realizes, the
greater profit arising from the fact that the CO.
operative stores are not required to 60 to any
expense to get or retain custom, and that their
business is so regular that they need suffer
very little from dead stock. In 1861 there
were $50 English societies. with AZ, 1874 mem
bers, doing an annual trade amounting to
seven and onehalf million dollars. In ten
years the number of members and sales in
creased fvefold, and the capital was nearly
doubled. In the next decade the membership
doubled and the capital increased thrsetold,
and the sales to more than half million
members amounted in 1880 to $l00,OOO,00O.
These are the figures given in the returns TO
the government Of actual business. Scotland
has a large number of societies in proportion
to population but they do not seem to flourish
in ireland. Indeed it Is only in certain parts
of England that they reach their highest de
velOpment in communities where the men,
bers are well known to each other. The par
liamentary return shows that counties where
prevails have the smallest per-
ccntage of pauperlsm. Experiments IN this
country have not met with much encourage

TRICHIN.E.-Dr. de Petra Santa, of Paris,
sends to the Paris Academy on interesting pa
per relative to the effect of cold on the vitality
of trichinG. The experiments therein referred
to seem to prove that very low temperature
800 F. destroyed the life of these parasites,
and renders them harmless. 1t does not
appear that the precise limit of refrigeration
which is necessary to produce this effect has
yet been determined, and further inquiry is
necessary to determine whether this limit is
high enough to make the systematic applica.
ton of the process economical in a CONNER
cial sense.
The real danger from trichinR is, as we
have before pointed out, exceedingly small,
beng confined to those who eat pork raw or
insufficlently cooked. To refrigerate all the
pork produced in this country to thirty de-
grees below zero will cost something, and this
cost must he added TO the price of the meat.
Looking at the matter from the point OF
view OF the foreign consumer is it worth
while to tax the mass Of poor who are the
chief users of this form of food in order To
protect not more than a,hundred persons from
the consequences of their own rashness or lg-
norance? Public hygiene is the protection OF
the health OF the community, often in oppos-
ton to the interests of few individuals, and
in this case II seems to US 10 demand that the
already too scant supply OF meat for the
working classes Of Europe, shall not be dl-
minished by making it more costly, merely

PETROLEUM IN ILLINOIS. "A special TO the
ST. Louis Republican from Litchfield, Mont
gomery county, H., Aug. LIST, relates:
Last Sunday afternoon there WAS great ex
element IN this city, rs what appeared to be
the whistle of the coal shaft was heard for two
hours, and hundreds of people FASTENED IN
that direction, believing that some accident
had occurred, and the alarm was given tor
assistance. They were greatly surprised TO
learn that the terrible nose that was plainly
heard distance of ten miles, came from
heavy volume of escaping gas at the OIL well
of the McWillams Oh Company. The great
heavy drill was forced ont of the well, and
small rocks were thrown distance Of 100
feet. The volume Of gas seems to have grown
stronger from that time to the present. 1t has
been used to run the engine, and last night it
was ignited and two flames shot up distance
of forty feet 1t is believed there is sufficient
gas to furnish all that Is necessary to light the
city. At 30 this afternoon oil was reached
in the we'll at distance of 615 feet, or fifteen
feet below where the gas was discovered.
The OIL quickly rose in the tube 10 feet, and
il Is conceded by all that this Is decidedly the
richest oil,fnd yet discovered. The oil sand
bank is said by experienced experts to be rs
good as any ever found in the OIL regions of
Pennsylvania.

The Hon. Joseph Medill, editor-in-chef OF
the Chicago Tribune, who is now in England
has written sensible letter to the London
Spectator on Irish affairs from the American
standpoint. Mr.. Medil's views of the pres
ent unhappy condition OF the Irish peasantry
and the remedy for the evils that atfllct both
England and Ireland, are not original but
they are sensible and based upon human ma
ture. Mr.. Medlll says:
"The root OF the Irish question is starvation
and eviction. y land system exists in that
countryswhich renders life burden. When
that land system is reformed the Irish ques-
ton will give England very little more trou,

The turner's Nagazine gives the following
hints on watering horses If the plan works
we'll with the travelling horse, why not with
the horse at the pillow or reaper or rake' We
see no reason why horse should not have his
thirst quenched more than three time day.
Horses require water rs much as do men,
and should have 1t every five or six miles, it
the weather is warm. If the horse is very
much overheated, Just before coming to wa,
terlng place, say quarter of mile or so be.
fore, SLOW up" to walk, and when you get
to where you can give the horse water he will
have become cooled off considerably then, too,
he should have his mouth sponged out, and
about half bucketful Of water. Nothing re-
freshes tired, jaded horse so much as a drink
of water, and ii he has it at regular intervals
he will keep up over II long distance. He can
do much better for a whole day and over a
long journey without food than without water.
Ii this Item of watering was more carefully
attended to, we would hear Of fewer cases of
horses being overcome by the heat of the
warm summer months.

Publication of the Census Reports

The bill which has passed the Senate and
the House provides for printing for general
distribution ten thousand copies of the com
pletc set of census reports. Each set will EN-.
brace fifteen quarto volumes Of about thous
and pages each. Besides the usual volumes
of statistics on population, agriculture and
manufactures the series will include many
elaborate reports on special industries. All
the reports prepared by the Census Bureau az
grcgate about eighteen thousand pages, but by
the elimination of some of the less important
matter, the mass to be printed for general dis.
trhuton is reduced to fifteen thousand pages.
Besides the ten thousand copies OF the com
plete set the bill provides for printing twenty
thousand copies of the report on population,
twenty thousand of that on agriculture and
ten thousand of that on manufactures; also
fifteen thousand copies OF the report on the
history of the national loan for the use of the
treasury department, and fifteen hundred
copies OF the report on fish and fisheries, tor
the use of the fish commissioner. In addition
to the above hundred thousand copies Of the
compendium of the census are ordered to be
printed The amount of money appropriated
tor all these publications Is seventy-eight
thousand and six hundred dollars.
The plan of distribution prescribed by the
bill IS different from that heretofore followed.
The reports are to be distributed by the secre.
tary of the interior on the order OF members
of congress IN the manner specified In the bill.
Every senator will have the right to name fif.
teen libraries or other public institutions or
individuals entitled to receive complete set :;
each and every representative and delegate
may dispose of ten sets in the same way. The
separate reports, OF which additional copies
are to be printed, will be sent to senators or
representatives or such persons as they may
designate up to the limit of the quota fixed by
the bill. The bill contains provision de-
signed to avoid unintsntiOnal duplication In
the distribution of copies. There Is nothing
to prevent the present members of congress
from exhausting the entire number of volumes
ordered to be printed, so that new members
will have to look to supplemental legislation
for any share IN the distribution.

EFFECT OF LEAVING CANE Cur IN THE
FIELD.-Prot. Henry, Madison, Wis: A
number of stalks still in good condition, the
Juice of which contained $50 cane sugar and
1926 glucose, were cut and left in the field ten
days, during almost constant rain. AT the end
of ten days the juice contained 5.9S cane SUI
gar and 610 glucose. Some early orange cane
was also cut Sept. 90 when the juice contain,
ed 1880 cane sugar and 400 glucose and was
left in the field till Nov. ., when the juice
contained 1890 glucose while not trace of
sugar was present. These experiments show
conclusively that If cane is cut or injured and
left exposed to rain, the destruction of cane
sugar goes on very rapidly, being in time en-.
tirely changed INTO glucose. The rapidlty OF
the charge depends, of course, in great de
gree on the weather.
