The celebrated statiStican, Edward
Atkinson, has made Il calculation
showing the cost of a loaf of bread
made in the East from wheat raised in
the West. According to his figures
100 barrels of flour delivered in Boston
cost $6S2.20, and the baker adds 5000
worth of labor and 5000 worth of
yeast, etc, and makes $500 loaves of
bread, which he sells at seven cents
apiece, giving him an aggregate return
of $2lOO, or a clear profit of Sl0l1S0
on an investment of $lOS22O. The
object Of the calculation is to convince
working people that they can save
money by making their own bread
instead of buying it, as most of them
do, from the bakers.

In travelling through Illinois lately
General Neal Dow observed with
surprise that many of the farm-houses
and barns were small, cheap and
dilapidated. He could not understand
such state of things in such a fertile
country, unless, indeed, whisky, beer
and tobacco were at the bottom of it.
But on suggesting this explanation he
was informed that the farmers were
industrious and sober, bat that they
were to large extent tenants merely
on land held in great blocks by rich
proprietors, who would not sell. "The
farmers, therefore," writes General
Dow to the Portland Press, shave no

A number of capitalists have pur-
chased 500 acres of land in PlckenS
county, Ga, for the purpose of quarry
ing marble. This promises to be one
of the most important of the new
industries of Georgia. A member of
the company speaks in the highest
terms of the quality of the marble.
There is literally" he says, "a
mountain Of marble on the property,
and in every direction we find rich
outcroppings. This supply is simply
eXhaustless, and as to the quality it is
superior to any | have ever seen for
building and interior decoration,
General Ripley, of the Rutland marble
company, pronounces it the best OF
building marble, but says that for
cemetery purposes it is not quite equal
to the Vermont marble; yet we went
together to Il marble cutter, who was
working on Il piece of marble, General
Ripley pronounced it Italian marble,
while Governor Proctor thought it was
Vermont. The truth is it was Georgia
marble taken from our quarry. For
cemetery, building or decoration we
are satisfied with the quality as well
as the quantity"

Col. Rockwell says the wear and tear

repeated every day in the year, it will

Women in Italy.


How little we know of people unless
we live with them, says letter from
Italy. Our idea of Italian women for
instance, is that they spend their time,
like Turkish sultanas, sleeping or
Longing listlessly on soft couchcs'
their only occupation being loye-mak-
ing, or perchance learning how to sing
love song. Never was there a
greater mistake. Italian women even
in towns and good circumstances, work
harder than any other women know.
Not stitch is done in the house that
they do not do They spin and make
their own linen, rear their own silk
worms, knit their own stockings and
the stockings of their whole family,
make their own dresses, hats, bonnets
and cloaks, and superintend all the
baking, cooking and cleaning of the
house. They rarely go out,
except on Sundays and holidays, and
rarely receive visitors, unless in the
highest society, where one day week
is set aside for receiving. They are per-
feet slaves to their HUI Stands, whose
comfort they study from morning until
night. Bonny brides, even in high
society, still maintain the custom of
making their own wedding outfits. a
young friend of mine, who has just
married, has brought her husband four
dozen of every article of body and
house linen, all made and embroidered
with her own hands, even the lace
which trims the house linen being of
her own work. AN the stockings,
also, were knitted by herself. Nor is
this the exception: it is the rule in
Italy. Who, after this, shall say the
Italian women are oilers? No one,
certainly, who has known and seen
them as | have will ever say SO; on
the contrary, would hold them up as
models for all other women to initiate.
Why, even in Rome, once the capital
of the world the women spend their
time between their house and church.
varying these with an occasional wall,
on Sundays and great holidays, while
everything in the house is done by
themselves, and for the most part
without servant, servants being toe

As proof that this is country of
"plablo equalities and inequalities" a
correspondent relates that he saw
beautiful woman of 80 come out of
store. She was tall, 1.-THE, graceful,
with the face and bearing Of an ideal
duchess. Her costume was Of the
richest and least SNOWY materials,
Her whole aspect proved her possession
of refined taste. She got into car
rage, in which sat two children and
their nurSe-a coarse featured woman
of middle age, wearing the prescribed
cap and apron of her employment.
"Take good look at that establish
ment," said the writer's companion;
"the young lady came TO this country
about twelve years ago She was poor
and friendless. She got employment
at homework, and then was made a
nursemad. She soon made up her
mind that she could get living at

She began by getting work in a shop,
but in a year had ilourishing bust

fact about the establishment, however,
was that the nurse you saw was the

1t appears that the great tattooers
among European peoples are French
soldiers and criminals. The idler
aud more disreputable the man,
the more time he passes
under arrest the more is he
likely to be tattooed. The long vacu-
Gus leisure of prisons, barracks and
guardrooms is relieved by the art of
tattooing. Vermilion and China ink
are chiefly used, and vast number of
emblems are engraved on the human
frame. Mere fantastic pictures are the
most common, then come amatOry de-
vices, hearts, claSped hands, and the
like, patriotic and religious and pro-
fessional symbols, and so forth. One
man was decorated with picture of a
carriage, coronet and all, in which a
lady sat and watched the efforts of two
grooms to control her fiery horses

Notwithstanding the edict of the
German government and other nation
alities in Europe against American
pork the exports of provisions and
almost everything in that line of trade
are largely in excess of what they
were a year ago, and in fact are
steadily increasing. The increase in
the exports of fresh beef is nearly
six hundred per cent. of what it was
year ago, and nearly the same ratio
of increase is noticeable in other
branches of the trade in provisions and
tallow and dairy products. Altogether
the outlook for an active export trade
in these commodities is very promis-
ing, and with the heavy crops ready
for shipment will set the balance of
trade decidedly in favor of Brother
Jonathan.

The London Lumber 7rade Journal
states that a new method of tree fell
ing by dynamite has been successfully
introduced. a cartridge of the eX-
plosive substance is placed in chan
mel bored directly under the tree to be
operated upon, and when exploded the
tree is simply forced up bodily and
falls intact on its side. If this system
works as well as it is represented to
do, and the tree is not fractured by the
force of the explosion, large proper
ton of valuable wood at the base of
the trunk can be utilized, which is
now lost. For clearing forest pro-
perties to convert into arabic land, this
method appears admirably adapted, as
it brings up the roots of the trees at
the one operation and dispenses with
the tedious and costly process Of grub
bing up the roots of the felled timber.
