Engli h. Yet there is.a strict scrutiny to
be Kept by two mandarins. The duty OF
these officials will be to see to it that no
messages will pass over the wires by which
the state would be endangered.
The industrial census of Philadelphia for
1882, which has been under compilation
for some time, has been submitted to the
mayor. There are in the city IL 1852 indus
trial establishments. employing l42, 5l3 men,
GO 1i3 woman and q ,Sl4 children, total of
236 4i3 persons, producing articles OF total
value OF $545, l93, 500.
The nettle, q growth common to nearly
all of the states, and which has hitherto
been a source of great trouble to farmers,
has now been found to yield FIBRE which,
it is claimed, will supplement cotton in
the manufacture of cloth. Cloth made
from it, on trial. has been adjudged equal
in texture and appearance to linen.
Fruit canning in Arkansas is remunera-
tive. One concern established at Judsonia
a year ago has proved so profitable that the
owners are erecting another at Beebe. A
Little Rock firm takes all the goods at
Baltimore prices, less freight. There should
be more of them in the principal fruit
growing regions of the west and south.
The mcrville, Georgia, Gazette says
it is rumoied that James, Temple, Frier-

company, with paid capital of $40, 900,
to buy all the land between Oxford and
AnuistOn, Alabama, distance of two and
tall miles. BY means OF cotton factories
and iron furnaces, they expect to attract u
population of $4,000.
Tie Parsians have recently been alarmed
Mt the extent to W hich edibles of their city
are being adu,erated. Out of twenty. five
varieties OF mineral waters tested at the
municipal laboratory fifteen were recogniz-
ed to be absolutely dangerous. The ana
lysis of 4i2 sp cImens of wine was no less
condemnalory. Only seventy-eight were
found to be genuine, fifty were passable,
302 were bad, without being directly hurt
tut, and IL were of nature to iniure the
hea tn OF the consumer AS to articles of
confectionery, only one specimen in twenty
was found commemorate, and no less than
eighteen were explicitly condemned.
A gentleman who has this spring visited
q large number of creameries Of Iowa gives
his views regarding the outlook of dairyng
and for the cream business in Iowa. He
says; For the past two seasons many dairy
men have given the new method of buying
cream from farmers thorough trial, but
with rather discouraging result. The
main causes for ill-luck in handling cream
were the high prices paid to farmers and
the fact that the estimate of the proportion
OF butter to cream had not been realized.
The Storm Lake creamery had found that
the expense of gathering the cream, manu-
facture, and getting ready for market was
III cents pound. At AvoCa the stock
holders, he understood, had given their il :
vestment OF $500 to a private party who
would try to continue the business. Two
creameries have lately failed in Adair
county. He thought, on the whole, more
creamery men were going out OF the bust
ness this spring than are entering it. Still,
he regarded the present dullness rs only
temporary, and that cream buying could
be made success. His idea is that the
better way is to buy the butter from the
farmers churn, work and pack il properly,
and sell 1t as creamery goods. He does
not think there is any great danger from
oleOmargarlne or butterine.
One OF the curious examples of the con.
dition into which industrial and CONNER
cial enterprises in Boazil have fallen, says
the Rio News, is a contract recently cele-
brated between the provincial government
! OF Espirit0 Santo and the business house of
Joao dos Refs & Co., OF Rio dc Janeiro, for
direct import and export trade between
that province and Europe and the United
States. The contract was concluded on
the 10Th ultimo, and entered into effect on
| the LIST instant. In consideration of an an
nual provincial subvention of $4,000, the
| contractors, who are proprietors ola steam
| ship line from this city to Victoria and
Caravellas, agree to transport merchandise
| and products twice month between the
port OF Victoria and Rio do Janeiro, and to
effect all necessary transshipments in this
port with two specific transatlantic com.
panies. The ireights and expenses of trans
shipment are to be met by the contractors
For exports table of fixed charges to Ric
de Janeiro is provided, tor which the con
tractor cannot exceed within the year
the shipper, together with the Curren,
charges of the other companies to the place
of destination. The maximum rate Tor d
bag of coffee to Rio do Janeiro during the
year is fixed Mt 700 reis. The subsidy is tC
be paid in monthly installments OF 81 900
and the contractors agree to give the prov
ince one tirst.cass passageto Rio de JaneirC
in their steamers every month. Taken
altogether, IL is u curious illustration of tht
helplessness and dependence into which ell
terprises of this character have fallen,
1t is suggested that the best chimney:
are made by enclosing hard baked plazet
pipe in a thin wall OF bricks. Such chin
neys will not only draw better than thos,
made in the usual way, but there will b,
less danger from defective ilues." A four
inch wall Of bricks between us and the de
struction by fire is frail barrier, especial,
If the work is carelessly done, or the NOR
tar has crumbled from the joints. TO buil(
chimneys with double or eight-iuch wall
makes them very large, more expensiv,
and still not as good as when they contain
the smooth round flues. To leave an al
chamber between for ventilating is bette
than to open directly into the smoke ilue
because 1t will not impair the draught 70
the fire, and there will be no danger OF
sooty odor in the room when the circuls

be one, should have an extra air Chambe
between the very outer wall and the bac

removes to great extent the common OF
