As regards the sugar industry

Picayssne of Wednesday says
s'It would seem now that the old
adage "it is always darkest just
before day is not without applica-
ton to the sugar interests of Louis
lana. In the first place, the de-
preston in values has reached bot
tom, and a reaction has set in.
Prices have advanced over 1c. per
pound recently in all the American
markets, and when it is understood
that this has been brought about
without any aid from speculative
influences, its significance will be
realized. The article had reached
/ a price at which it could not be
produced, except perhaps in a few
localities and yet, though so cheap
was not generally considered safe
investment. But when a staple
article sinks to that position, the
work of regeneration sets in silent
ly and the equilibrium between cost
of production and market value is
restored, and men look back and
wonder they could not see the ne
cessity for such restoration.
Along with the rise in prices, and
more assuring aspect in that direc-
ton has come another very impor-
tant factor in the problem. A new
process for handling the cane has
been tried on the plantation of Gov.
H. G. Warmoth, and found to in
crease the yield Of sugar by very
large percentage. The innovation
consists in the use of an additional
machine called shredder, to pre-
pare the cane for the mill. The
shredder consists Of two cylinders
revolving against each other (like
the rollers at present in use) the
surfaces of which are set with
knives. The cane in passing
through these is chopped and bro
ken, rendering the work Of the
mill comparatively easy"
LAST year over sixty thousand
tons of Southern iron We're. sold in
the New England and Middle
States. This unexpected invasion
of the North by Southern products
has alarmed the Northern produ-
GERS, and they are beginning to
look about them for means where
by to maintain the supremacy in
this industry they have heretofore
enjoyed. Their days of monopoly,
however, are numbered. The South
has just begun to produce iron,
and the sixty thousand tons sent
North last year furnishes no idea Of
what it can do. Five or ten years
from now it will begin to invade
the North in earnest, and then the
| producers of that section will have
abundant cause for feeling uneasy.
THE United States Supreme
Court has recently decided that a
lunatic, or person affected with in
sanity, is admissible as a witness

to apprehend the obligation of an
oath, and capable of giving a cor
rect account Of the matters which
he has seen or heard with reference
to the question at issue; and whe-
Their he has that understanding is a

fants generally, whether brought
up at the breast or artificially, are
not supplied with sufficient water,
the fluid portion Of their food being
quickly taken up, and leaving the
solid too thick to be easily digest
ed. In warm, dry weather, healthy
babies will take water every hour
with advantage, and their frequent
fretfulness and rise of temperature
is often directly due to their not
having it. A free supply Of water
and restricting frequency Of nur--
sing, has been found in the nurse
ry to be most effectual check ia
casesEof incipient fever, dinin-
ished rate Of mortality and marked
reduction in the number Of gastric
and intestinal complaints being at

Lines By a Madmal.

There is confined in the Blooming
dale Asylum, Philadelphia, a man
named Geo. B. Bowland, who has
written some verses which he styles
''Musings-after the style of Edgar
Allan Poe" They present strange
phase of mental condition, and we
give the following extract as a literary
curiosity worthy Of publication. 1t
must be admitted that they are very
clever lines for madman:

How to Make Them SO-Keep Them in
Health and They VIII Take
Care of the Reat.

The joy OF every well regulated household
comes chiefly from the children. Thousands
OF aGectonate parents do not take care of
their children. Through ignorance more than
culpable neglect they suffer them to fall sick
and die, when knowledge might have saved
them to love and home. DR.. David Kennedy
offers his "Favorite Remedy" rs emphatically
medicine for the children-gentle in it's ac-
ton, containing no harmful ingredieasts 1ohdt-
ever, going straight to the Blood, which, when
impure. Is the seat and source OF disease.
"FdDOrite Remedy" is the friend Of childhood
and should be found In every nursery In the
land. Keep 10 IN your house for your chill
dren's sake, as well as for your own. Try It
and you will be glad you saw this article.
