A NEW INDUSTRY.

One of the most significant results
appearing in the recent census bulletin
giving the statistics of manufactures in
the United States by Industries is the re-
turns Of cotton. seed Oil aud cake. These
returns show that in 1880 there were
forty-five establishments of this kind in
the country, presumably in the south,
and that the value Of products for that
year WAS nearly eight million dollars.
The cotton seed used was valued at about
tive and n half million dollars. In 1870
there were but twenty-six of these mills,
only million and three hundred thou
sand dollars worth of seed was pressed,
and a million two hundred thousand
dollars worth of oil made. The bust
ness is now carried on to a vastly greater
extent than it was in 1880, since within
the past two years many new mills with
extensive capacity and improved ma
chinery have sprung up, in various parts
of the southern states. The growth of
this new Industry in the next few years
bids fair to he enormous. The south has
'at last found source of great wealth in
what, until recently, was considered of
no value. Before the war millions of
dollars in cotton seed were yearly thrown
away. The utility of the seed as fer
tilizer was then discovered, and it was
for a time used chiefly for this purpose
1t was next found to contain valuable
oil which is now pressed out, refined
and used chiefly for cooking purposes
as a substitute for lard, while the re-
naming meal or cake has proved to be
rich food for animals. Even the hulls
OF the seed make an excellent fuel.
Seed that was once thrown away Is now
sold for twelve and fifteen dollars ton,
and the price is likely to go higher.
Much of this product is still wasted in
some parts of the south, owing chiefly
TO the want Of convenient mills. 1t has
been estimated that at no distant day the
annual crop of cotton seed will be con-
verted into products to the value of fifty
10 scventy-tive million dollars.

A Story About Bishop Simpson.

From tue Harrisburg Patriot
The bishop made his first appearance
in Lancaster one Sunday mOrAlng very
Unexpectedly TO himself and "the people
called MethCllsts" of that city. His
home was in PittsbuIg. tie was travel
ing over the PENNSYLVANIA Railroad to
PhIladeiphis, and brakeman detained
him over Sunday III Lancaster. After
breakfast he sauutered out to find a
Methodist church, and walking up Duke
Street he met goo1 Methodist, the late
Mr.. Carpenter McCleery, who engaged
the bishop in conversation. DR.. bimp-
son was plainly dressed and looked any.
thing else than bishop is supposed to
look. Brother McCleery judged from
his conversation that he WAS local
preacher, and the good bishop did not
enlighten him to the contrary. The
preacher Ill charge of the Duke Street
Methodist Episcopal Church finally ar
rivsd. aud the bishop was introduced TO
him as Brother Simpson, local
preacher OF the P!ttsburg conference.
After considerable persuasion the
bishop was prevailed upon to
preach. What disappointment was
visible upon the faces of that
congregation that morning! They
expected to be bored by Country
clodhopper." The bishop gave out the
opening hymn and then prayed. These
who thought they were going to be
bored began to think differently, and
when the bishop announced his text,
"lhe Greatest Of all is Charity" expec
tation was on tlptoe. A grauder. more
eloquent, more feeling discourse was
never delivered in that church. As the
bishop was celebrating his points and
carrying his congregation to the highest
pitch by the magnificent roundings
Of his sentences. the thought occurred
to the preacher sitting In the pulpit that
this must be Bishop simpson, and upon
concluding his sermon the preacher
asked him: "Are you not Bishop SImp-
son?" The bishops modest and naive
reply was: "They call me so as home. 1"
The preacher Immediately turned, faced
the congregation and said: "You have
had the extreme pleasure OF listening to

Type Sizes,

Originally there were but seven sized.
The first was called prima, whence the
name primer. 1t is now known as two-line
Eugllsh. The second was secunda, now
our double pica-in France, great para.
gon. The third was tertia, at present
our great primer Then there was a mid
die size, still called in German mittel,
but is now our English. After these
came the three sizes on the opposite size
of thu scale-pica, long primer and bre-
vler. In Germany the name secunda,
tertia aud mIttel are still retained. Plea,
il France and Germany, is called Cicero,
because the works Of that author we're
originally printed III 1t. English print
ers so styled it from being the type IN
which the ordlnal, or service book of
the Roman Church was originally set.
The ordinal was also at first called the
lica. Bourgeoise was 30 named because
il was introduced into this country from
France, where 1t was originally dedicat-
ed to the bourgeoise or citizen prin-
ters Of that capital. Brewer obtained
its name from having been first used for
priutiug the Breviary and Roman Catho-
lie abbreviated Church Service book
Minion is alsoof French origin, and was
20 termed owing to having rapidly be-
come u special iavorite on its introduc-
tion iu that country. La Mignone, is
"the darling" Nonpareil was so named
because at the time of its introduction,
it had "no equal" being the smallest
and finest type then produced. Pearl
Is of English origin. The French
have type of the size which they call
Parisienne 1t is a smaller type than
uonpareil, and was thought "the pearl
OF all type" Diamond is another fancy
name given to what was regarded at tie
time of its origin, as the ultima thule of
letter foundry achievement.

He COMING METAL.

\ Iii patch from London announcing
that at last method for the cheap pro-
ductrOn OF aluminium in large quantities
has been discovered, and that the metal
trade OF Birmingham and Sheffield is in
commotlon thereat, led the Boston Daily
Advertiser to comment as follows: May
this he true, though it is quite certain
that we shall neither have aluminium as
cheap as steel, nor that we shalt have to
wait another fifty years for the discovery
Of the process now needed. Aluminium
costs at present about forty cents an
ounce, year ago it cost q dollar per
ounce, and fifty years ago it was dearer
than platinum. The present production
Of this ubiquitous metal is estimated at
$500 tons a year. Yet the actual de-
maud for aluminium would be very great
II the metal could be supplied in quan-
titles and cheap. The London dispatch,
therefore, deserves general attention, if
but for the purpose of directing the at
tention of metaliurgists and inventors to

Aluminium, like iron, does not occur in
its pure state; but in connection with
silicates or loan forms whole mountain
ranges and fertile valleys. 1t is the very
essence of feldspar aud of clay. 1t wss
discovered in 1927 by the great Wohler,
but recently deceased, and its technical
treatment has been described best by
Saiute Claire Deville. The commercial
article, however, Is not chemically pure,
containing from two to twelve per cent.
Of foreign substances, chiefly iron and
s1icum. Yet even this article stands,
IN color and lustre, between platinum
ana silver; it is four times lighter than
silver, highly ductile and malleable, and
may be made AZ hard as iron. 1t does
not oxidize on exposure. and preserves
its lustre where silver would be tar
nished. 1t forms alloys with most
metals, and with copper produces a
metal highly valued by iewelers, opti-

At LOUIS
A Chinese New Years Celebration.

The following Is an extract from an ar
ticle entitled "A Chinese New Years
Day in Santa Barbara, by II. H., 10 the
January st. Nicholas:
The Chinese New Years Day in 1882
fell on the seventeenth of February.
They have week of HOLIDAYS at their
New Year, just as we do between the
twenty-tifth of December and the first of
January.
In the cities they make a fine display
Of fireworks, but none of the Chinese
people in Santa Barbara are rich, SO
there were no fireworks, except crack
ers; but there were barrels aud barrels
full Of these, and the Chinese boys do
not fire off crackers on their New Years
day az American boys do, a cracker at a
time, or one package at a time; they
bring out a large box full, or barrel
full, and fire them off, package after
package, as fast as they can, till the air is
as full of smoke as if there were fire,
and the ground is covered with red,
half-burned ends.
1t WAS amusing to watch the Ameri-
can boys darting about from shop to
shop and house to house, coming out
with their hands full of queer Chinese
things to eat, showing them to each
other and comparing notes.
"Oh, let me taste that i one boy
would exclaim, on seeing some new
thing; and, "Where did YOU get it t?
Which house gives that?" Then the
whole party would race off to make de.
scent on the house, and get some more.
| thought it wonderfully hospitable on
the part of the Chinese people TO let all
these American boys run i'll and out OF
their houses in that way, and help them
selves from the New Years feast,
Some OF the boys We're very rude and
i'll, ,mannered-httle better than street.
beggars; bat the Chinese were polite and
generous to them all.
In some of the stores there were men
playing game that has been played, un-
der different names, all over the world.
1t consists simply III one man holding
out his hand, with part Of the fingers
closed and part open, and his antagonist
calling out, instantly, how many of his
fingers are open. One would thiuk
nothing would be easier than this. But
when the movements are made rapidly
1t Is next to impossible to call out the
number quickly without making a mis-
take. For every mistake fine of some
sort, according to the agreement of the
players, is to be paid. These Chinese
men played it with such vehemence that
the perspiration stood ON their fore
heads, and their shrill crying ont of the
numbers sounded like unbroken sen.
tenoes; there did not seem breath be-
tween them. They rested their elbows
on the table, and with every opening
and closing of the fingers, thrust the
forearm forward to it's full length, so
there was violent exercise in it.

The Craze Of Cleanliness.

Cleanliness in Holland is a mania--al-
most a craze. 1t is the only thing in
which they are extremists, and though
the leaning is to virtues side, it is incon-
venient to a degree. There Is not a
speck nor a millionth part of speck OF
dirt to be found in any part of their
houses, and as as for vermin, it is
unknown. Aspider is Holland woman's
special aversion, and such thing as a
bedbug would arouse street into action.
Their beds are miracles of cleanliness,
and their floors are scrubbed till they
shine again.
l should say that the life of the aver
age Amsterdam woman is divided up
something like this: Six to 3 A. NJ,
scrubbing inside the house; Sto 8 80, sbsk-
ing the carpets and rags on the sidewalk,
breakfast of coffee and bread; 10,
scrubing OUTSIDE the house; 10 to IL,
scrubbing the sidewalk; IL to IL pre-
parations for dinner; IL to l, dinner; /
to 8 scrubbing upper part of the house; 3
to 4, shaking carpets of the upper stor-
les; 4 to q, finishing up the scrubbing of
the house and getting the soap AMI
brushes ready for the next morning. At
6 she takes her supper AMI retires to
dream Of shaking carpets and scrubbing.
