OF the kind which tells in 500 pages or tells it
better 1t is book admirably adapted to the class

necessity for the use of either hands or feet
The new motor drives the sewing machine by
process of clockwork- bulky nor

to drive a needle at the rate of about thous-

FEAR AS AN ALLY OF DISEASE

While the plague was raging in Buenos Ay-
res the grave diggers bore charmed lives Of
the 300 men SO employed not one died of the
disease. 1t has often been noticed that dur
ing the prevalence of pestilential diseases,
physicians undertakers, nurses and grave dig
gers, whose business compelled constant liza
bility to infection, have usually escaped in
far greater ratio than their numbers would
warrant. The "charm" of this immunity
from the prevailing scourge is very simple.
They are not scared. They are positive to
the disease, and repel its attacks Fear is a
great ally of death. Whoever is afraid of di-
sease is in negative position, and really in
vites its approach. And thus it is the world
over. The brave die but once, while towards
die many times. Much unnecessary alarm
exists in every community in regard to many
diseases. We are, it is true, all liable to sick
ness and death. But if we are all sober,
clearly, and brave of heart we need have no
fear of disease of body or mind. -Boso-B Bells.

nov FALSE TEETH ARE MADE.

A reporter Of the Star recently visited
factory in this city where false teeth
aremade by the million. In the process
of manufacture the silex and feldspar in
their crude state are submitted to q red
heat and then suddenly thrown into cold
water, the effect being to render them
more easily pulverized. Having been
ground very fine in water and the water
evaporated, the two materials mentioned
are dried and sifted. The kaolin is
washed free from impurities. These
materials, with feldspar, sponge, platina
and fiux in proper proportion for the
enamel, are mixed with water and worked
into masses resembling putty. This
done, the unbaked porcelain masses are
ready for the molding room. The molds
are in two pieces and are made of brass,
one-half of the teeth or sections being
on either side. The coloring materials
are first placed in the exact position and
quantity required, and the body of the
tooth and the gum is inserted in Jumps
corresponding to the size of the teeth.
The molds are then closed and they are
dried by slow heat. When perfectly
dry they are taken out and sent to the
trimmer's room. The trimmers remove
imperfections and send them in trays of
freclay to the furnace, where, having
remained for twenty minutes, they are
complete. - Wilmington Star.

SUGAR.

The yield OF amber cane in the North
ern States will not average over ten to
twelve tons per acre. A Louisiana
planter reports of The yield of six lead
ing plantations in Louisiana for the year
1879, that the number Of tons of cane
per acre varied from seventeen to twen-
ty-three, averaging little over rine-
teen. The number of pounds of sugar
made from o ton of cane varied from
eighty to 1872, averaging little over
100. The average was over 1000 pounds
of sugar per acre, beside the molasses,
In dry Egypt, the cane averages twenty.
two tons per acre; in Brazil, twenty
five to thirty tons per acre; in Cuba,
thirty to thirty-fve tons per acre; in
Barbados, thirty-six tons per acre. Two
tons of sugar per acre is common pro-
ducticn in the tropics. In many re.
gions the production is much more thar
that.

THE GLORY OF WEBSTER.

The longer live and the more 1 study
the constitution of the United States,
the more l am impressed with his claim
to be regarded as its defender and as
the greatest Of its expositors. 1t was
not merely that he had q chief and most
important influence in settling many Of
the specific questions Of Interpretation
that arose during his day. 1t was in
his relation to the paramount question
of the nature OF the Union, as established
by the constitution, that his power was
most signally exercised and his mosten-
during laurels were won. In this re-
spect it may, think, be truly said Of
him that there has been no statesman Of
our age, perhaps there has been no one
in all the. ages of modern civilization,
whose noble intellect has more impressed
itself upon the destinies of great coun-
try than has the intellect of Daniel Web
ster. There have been men whose will,
whose ambition, whose selfish interests,
have enormously affected the fortunes Of
millions for good or for evil. Butwhere
has there been q man whose intellect,
apart from all passion, has determined
the character of "a great Government in
such manner as to furnish the basis,
the iustifable, legal and moral basis, Of
civil war OF stupendous proportions,
waged for the assertion of lawful author
ity. This is the glory, the untarnished,
the unmatched glory, OF Daniel Web
ster, which will carry his name and
fame farther down the course of the
centuries than that of any other Ameri-
can statesman Of our time George
TicknOr.

In California the prejudice against
homemade raisins is being overcome by
the adoption Of the same methods en-
ployed in overcoming the prejudice
against native wines-namely, branding
the packages with high-sounding foreign
names and attractive foreign labels. AS
q matter of fact, the quantity of foreign
wines consumed in California at present
is comparatively small. Even much OF
what is still sold under foreign labels
is reasonably suspected of being the ma
tive product. Raisins are going through
the same process, and it has already
happened that native raisins under a
foreign disguise have been lauded to the
skies for their excellence in size, quality
and appearance.

THE SPECTER OF THE VICKSBURG
SIEGE.

I remember to have been standing on
a knoll in front of my headquarters on
beautiful night listening to the fire of
batteries. The moon was out in all its
splendor, and the flashes that cleaned
from the mouths of a hundred guns
could be seen for miles to the right and
left. Standing upon an adjacent hill to
my right tall figure was seen clothed
in white. 1t seemed to be that of a
man at least ''even feet high, but the
uniform was Lot that of soldier. In
tones never to be forgotten and that
echoed from hill to valley and from val
ley to hill, the words "Cease firing"
were heard from his unearthly-looking
figure, as though he was commanding
the world and giving the order, "By
kingdoms, right wheel" Summoning up
all the courage at my command, 1 hailed
him with the inquiry, "Who on earth
are you?" The prompt and emphatic
response was: ~ am Gen. Burbridge's
orderly in my night shirt" - Gen.
Landruna.

THE COAL TRADE,

The combination that has existed for
several years among the great coal mining
and carrying railroad companies has run
out and efforts are being made to renew
it on basis satisfactory to the parties
concerned. No, not all the parties. The
principal party in interest, the coal-con-
Stunning pnblic, is scarcely taken into &C
count in the negotiations The only ques-
ton considered among these confederated
monopolists, is as to their relative share
of the plumber which they will afterwards
unite to wrest from the public.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company
has heretofore been minor and unim-
portant partner in the combination. In
deed, it has not been regarded by the
great coal companies as a partner at all,
as it was of trifiing moment whether it
entered or stayed outside the coalition.
Within the past few years, however, the
attention of the Pennsylvania manage
ment has been directed towards the coal
carrying trade, and it has, with charac-
teristic enterprise, been rapidly charging
it's coal carrying facilities, and extending
new lines and connections into the coal
region. 1t is now prepared to do an
position as coal supplying road. This
will have a much more important bearing
upon the coal trade than appears from
this general statement of the company's
new departure. The Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company is prudently and econo-
mically managed corporation. Its new
coal connections and facilities have been
acquired at reasonable cost, and it can,
-. -.
sell coal at rates that will return a fair in
terest upon these conservative invest
ments.
The other great coal roads--the Read
ing, Del, Lack. & Western, Del. & Hud-
son, New Jersey Central, &c.-are all
loaded down with an enormous indebted
ness, piled up through long series of
reckless, wasteful, extravagant, and often
corrupt management. The Pennsylvania
Company completes with these debt-laden
and partly bankrupt corporations in the
coal field, like a thoroughly trained and
healthy young athlete against decrepit
old mon, handicapped with staggering
loads. n comDinat1on TO exact monopoly
prices from tho public is essential to theil
salvation from hopeless insolvency. They
must charge exorbitant prices for theil
coal IN Oruer 10 meet the interest ana
charges upon their enormous capitaliza-
tion, and other huge debts.
The fact that the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company is now in position to
largely command the situation, and is
averse to entering combination where
its energies would be restrained by the
necessities of decrepit partners, will be
seen to be of the first Importance to the
coal consuming public. 1t is said that
the Pennsylvania Company fully realizes
its vantage ground, and its obligations to
the public, and will not enter into the
proposed freebooting combination with
the paralyzed old coal companies Gazette.

LAMBERTyILLE. N. J.
Wednesday, Dec. 81, 1884.

The Warren Co. Temperance Alliance
held its annual meeting few days since,
at which the innate conceit Of some of
the St. John saints was exemplifled. They
complained of persecution, and yet
spoke of those opposed to the third-party
movement as being cowardly, weak
kneed, deficient in moral elements, by
pocritical, etc., and twenty years behind
the times. Rev. Solomon Parsons as
serted that the National Prohibtionsits
s'were the only men who kept the adj
vanced places occupied, warm and soft,
until the timid ones think it polite and
safe to walk up to those places, sit down
in them, and enjoy the warmth and soft
ness they did not themselves create"
The wisdom of this Rev. Solomon in his
assertions, is exemplified by the vote in
Kansas, where the constitute onal prohibit
ton received a vote of nearly hundred
thousand, and the National Prohibition
party got about four thousand votes. This
four thousand, of course, worked up the
other eighty or ninety thousand to the
"warmth and softnesso of constitutional
piohibitiont
