at must be borne in mind that the
British cotton manufacturing industry
is peculiarly British industry, filling
as il does q larger space in commercial
activity and history than any other SIN
Gle manufacturing industry OF that or
any other country. Hence the manu-
facturers of the United States must be
prepared to meet an opposition IN any
serious effort which they make Tor a
division of this trade, which will be
sustained by almost unlimited capital,
and directed by great ability and ex'
perience, but il the same mastery di-
rection of forces be applied toward its
diversion to the United States as have
been applied by the statesmen and
manufacturers of Great Britain to the
development of their trade, the world
offers field large enough for the con-
sumption of all the manufactures she
can produce, even were our entire pro-
duct of the raw material converted into
American cloth, instead of being ex-
ported in such large quantities as it is
at present."

How Printing Effects the Health.

Years ago there was a notion preva-
lent among those who were but par
TALLY informed upon the question that
the printing business was especially
detrimental to health. There was a
tradition about the absorption of poison
from the constituents of which type
metal was composed. This was and is
true so far as it asserts the poisonous
nature of some of the constituent parts
Of type metal; but that these
poisons should necessarily be absorbed
into the system of the one who handles
type is simply absurd. Printers who
have such habits of cleanliness and
sobrity as a decent respect for ones
self and the opinion of others might
be expected to dictate may follow their
calling for years without experiencing
any further damaging effects upon
their health than what will result from
close application to any sort Of hard
work. More poison is absorbed by
the printer when taking observations

The difference between the postal SER
vice and the express and transportation
companies is that the people of the
United States hire private corporations
to do their heavy freighting business,
and pay them what the afordsaid COM
panies can manage to exact, while they
have organized cooperative concern
for the distribution of letters, small
packages and small bills of exchange,
and the business is done, not for the
most that can be got from its customers,
but for the least that will pay expenses
As it is deemed important that the
charges should be low, il is not even
attempted to quite pay expenses, the
deficit being made up out OF general
taxation. In other words, nearly 80
per cent. of the cost. of operating the
service is collected from those who use
the service, and in proportion to the
amount they use it, and the other 5per
cent is paid out of the general treasury.
In its vastness the postal business
looks down from towering height upon
most of the railroad and transportation
companies. The routes over which the
Government sends the mails aggregate
900 miles, or distance equal to
about fourteen circumference of the
earth. Its immediate agents, not count
ing mere employees, number 44,5l2.
The Postmasters in the United States
would make two army corps-that is,
they would if they were all forced into
the army. The salaries paid to these
agents amount to more than eight mill
ions of dollars, or about the same as the
total net ordinary revenues of the gov
eminent, including loans, in so recent a
year as 1S43.

How SpOnges Are Caught.

A correspondent of the New Haven
paper tells how they fish for sponges in
the Bahamas:
When vessel arrives at the fishing
ground it is anchored, and the men, in
small boats, proceed to look fol-
sponges in the water below. The wa
ter'is beautiful light blue color, and
SO clear sixpence can easily be seen
Oh the white, sandy bottom in thirty
five to forty feet of water. OF course
when there is no wind, and the surface
of the water is still, the sponges are
easily seen; but when gentle breeze
is blowing "sea-glass" is used. A
sea-glass consists of square pine box,
twenty inches in length, pane of
glass about ten by twelve inches placed
in one end, water-tight. To use it the
glass end is thrust into the water, and
the face of the operator is placed close
to the other. By this means the wave
motion of the water is overcome and
the bottom readily seen.
Sponges, when seen on the bottom
attached to rocks, look like big black
bunch. They are pulled off their nat
ural beds by forked hooks, which are
run down under the sponge, which is
formed like the head of cabbage. and
the roots pulled from the rocks. When
brought to the surface it is mass of
soft, glntinous stuff, which to the touch
feels like soap or thick jelly. When a
small boat load is Obtained they are
taken to the shore, where crawl is
built in which they are placed to die,
so that the jelly substance will readily
separate from the firm fibre of the
sponge. These crawls are built by
sticking pieces of brush into the sand
out of the water, large enough to con-
tain the catch. 1t takes from five to six
days for the insect to die, when the
sponges are beaten with small sticks,
and the black, glutinous substance falls
off, leaving the sponge, after thor
ough washing, ready for market. To
the fishermen generally, the occupation
is not lucrative one. 1 am told the
wages will hardly average So q week
besides board. There is but little div
ing for sponges, except for particu-
larly fine bunch which cannot be got
ten by the hook. The sponge is formed
by small insects, and is the hive in
which they live. Different qualities
are found growing side by side, al
though in certain regions the finer and
more valuable sponges are found.
