HOnc.Stayeo Barrels.

Flour handlers and others who use bar
rel, manufactured near Detroit. While,
the size and shape Of this barrel are the
same as the ordinary kind, the body of
the barrel consists Of single sheet of
timber held by hoops, The timber used
is elm, which is cheap and abundant.
Canada is the main base of supplies.
The logs will be RATED over during the
season Of navigation, and brought by
rail in winter time. The logs are taken
from the boom or yard into the sawmill
and cut into two barrel lengths. Thence
they 90 into a steam chest, where they
remain until thoroughly steamed. In
this condition the log Is converted into
thin sheets, or venc ring, used in the
body of the barrel. BY a special process
a two-foot log becomes rolls of wooden
shcctinr in minutes time. There re-
mains upon the mandrcl an eight-inch
| core, which is utilized in making barrel
! heads. These sheets 90 next to q sand
ing machine, by which both sides are
made perfectly smooth. After passing
through cutting and growing machine
they arc 50 cut by a goring machine as to
adapt them to the shape OF .barrel.
Thence they 70 to drying house. From
the dry yhouse they 20 to the sizing saws,
where they are cut the desired length,
when they are ready for the cooper shop
or for shipment. They are shipped ii
bundles and in the knock down" TO be
put up at their point Of destination.
Three thousand OF them can be stored
and forwarded in an ordinary box car.
The headings are shipped in barrels. =

CeyIOn's Sacred Treasures.

''tooth Of Buddha." 1t is curious build

the kings of Handy were wont to exhibit
themselves to the people. We attended
an evening service in this cdiicc, and
were conducted by the priest through
some little frcscocd halls to a massive
silver door. Flower sellers were offering
for sale to the votarics, male and female,
the frangpanni and the iron wood tree,
which are laid upon a silver table before
the great shrinc-the only offerings made.
Every morning the priests clear away
piles of these simple sacrifices, which are
constantly renewed, 50 that faint per
pctual perfume Of delicious fragrance for
ever fills the dark chambers. When the
silver door was opened there was disclosed
another silver table, and behind it a

BREAKING THE SOLID SOUTH.
An Alabama Iron Merchant Explains

porter of the NATIONAL REF UBLIcAN, sis

the industries. In my state, as elsewhere
in the south, the rise Of the factory is In
variably simultaneously with the demand
for protection, and as the dividing line be-
tween the two parties must eventually he
the tariff, the development Of natural re-
sources is all that is necessary to bring
about Republican supremacy. l see that
some Pennsylvania capitalists have recently
put four or five millions into Alabama
foundries. You may be sure that this con-
sequent increase In the iron industry will
result in hundreds Of protectionist votes at
ensuing elections. With every advance In
development there is a diminution In the
Democratic free trade vote, and although
Alabama is still strongly Democratic, 1t is
only question Of time and development
until 1t will incline to the Republican
column. have been through most OF the
southern states during the past year, and l
found that every prosperous section was a
protectionist section-at least the people
wanted protection for their own peculiar
products. Only In purely agricultural
states is there general demand for free
trade. In visiting some places IN Georgia,
Tennessee, and Virginia, was surprised at
the great change of sentiment that had
come over the people since my last visit
| six years ago. Then everybody denounced
protective tariff as robbery; now they will
| have only protectionists to represent them
| In Congress. The reason for the change did
not require much investigation. had only

there were half-cultivated farms and dreary
| little villages there are now foundrles and
factories and bustling towns. Why dc

between the parties has been drawn, you
must help him to develop the resources OF

We have revived, by reperusal, the pleas
ure with which, many years ago, we first
read these writings Of our Washington Ir-
wing. They are OF such genial sort, SO
quietly humorous, so softly sarcastic, that
their gentle charm will probably continue
forever very seductive and delightful both
to youth and age.
In the sketch book appears the legend of
Rip Van Wrinkle, whereof all the world
knows now, since ithas been drlmatized by
Boucicault and realized, not acted, by JEFF
| ferson.
About half the volume Is devoted to "a
History Of New York, by Dietrich Knlck-
| erbocker.n
Whoever reads this remembers IL, aud at
every thought Of It goes on laughing so
long as be may live. If any part Of the
history may have grown dim, by some ex-
traordinary chance, In thy memory, dear
friend, pray thee restore its clear outlines,
it's gay colors. Thereby, thou seest, wish
thee exceeding and perfect enjoyment.
A modern wonder Of the book Is the
praise and the gratitude due to its present
publisher. Think OF the fact: Irving-307
