William r.. Hunt, the proprietor Of the
South Boston Iron works, where heavy
iron cannon are cast, was in the city
recently. He has been paying a visit Of
inspection to the great iron and steel
works in Pennsylvania with a view Of
charging his experience. lie remarked
that he regarded the Edgar Thompson
Steel works, near pittsburg, as marvel
ous in their extent and excellence.
Among other things he said:
These works turn out enormous guam
Titles of steel rails. They have five or
six blast furnaces where they make the
pig frog and eight or ten cupola fur
naces for mixing the iron, besides their
converters and other processes for treat
ing the metal before it reaches the com
plcted state. | watched them turning
rails with my watch in hand. In some
instances they brought out II rail in
twenty seconds, The steady average, |
think, would be about two rails a min
ute. 1t was a marvel to me how they
could handle all the vast quantity Of
material that wa required for this work.
They use 1000 tons of iron ore a day,
1000 tons of coal and large quantities Of
limestone to turn out 1000 tons of pig
iron. In all they handle nearly 1900
tons of material a day. 1t is successfully
done through organized and system
atized division of labor, but it is won
full nevertheless. New York Tribune.

HOW VARIOUS AUTHORS WORK.


Justin Mccarthy and Dion Boucicauit-
Young Townsend and Howard Sala.
Justin Mccarthy does most of his
writing between z in the morning and
II o'clock, noon. Dion Boucicault drinks
a pot of strong breakfast tea, eats a bis
cult and goes to work between 3 and 0
in the morning, finishing by 8 or TO-.
Augustin DAILY rarely undertakes sus-
tanned literary labor until after II o'clock
at night, when the people are out of his
theatre, and he can return in quiet to
the newspaper habits of his early life.
He frequently peg away until 4 o'clock
in the morning, writing with n crooked
pointed pen that makes a mark like the
trail of a Chicago girl.
John Russell Young is another night
writer, and he has curious habits. lie
uses a fine pointed pen, makes very
small characters, and when engaged in
reflection draws his pen around between
the lines and words, making puddles of
ink that give his manuscript the appear
ance Of one of ~Schwatka's maps Of
Alaska. George Alfred Townsend die
tates almost every line of his work to a
stenographcr. SO does Joseph Howard,
Jr.
George Augustus Sala writes with a
fine pen and makes manuscript so small
and close that it is read with difficulty.
Sala works in the morning, and some
times well along toward the middle of
the afternoon. Sardou, when he gets a
play into his mind, moves out to his
country residence, and neither sees nor
speaks to anybody until he is through
with it. Attached to his chateau there
is a library which opens on one side into
the hall, and on the other into the gar
den. If he grows tired of writing no
strolls out into the garden, and nobody
in the house knows whether he is at
work or not. The only person allowed
to enter the library is n waiting maid,
who brings Sardou his meals and places
his letters ON the table, all without say
ing Il word. He writes almost continu-
ously from at night, and his penman-
shiplooks rs though it were executed
with the point of a needle. Comment

PROFESSOR SUMNER. of Yale college,
puts the Indian problem in this form
An Indian needs seventy square miles to
support him, living ON buffalo, as hcdoes.
The same amount Of land will support
1000 white men, and because the 1000
white men will not let the one Indian
have the land, the much discussed Indian
question arises The truth is, remarks
the abilene Ga-eae, that the white men
are perfectly willing to let the Indian
have land, but the white men differ some
what rs to the quantity ofland the lnGian
should have. Most Western white men
think that SIX by two is land enough for
the average Indian.

( The word swoon means the same MS
the medical term syncope. 1t is due to
the failure of the heart to send the
necessary supply of blood to the brain.
1t may be partial, or complete.
In the latter case, the person sud-
denly turns pale. and soon falls, with
q loss of consciousness and an apparent
stoppage of the pulse and heart. The
breathing, too, is either imperceptible.
or occurs only occasional weak signs.
The patient, to the ordinary observer,
may seem to be dead OF course the
action of the heart has not ceased, but
it is feeble. This condition may last
only few moments, or 1t may con
tinue for hours, 1t generally ends in
recovery, beginning with slight move
ments OF the features and hands, and
deep signing. Tho pulse becomes
more distinct and the heartbeat
stronger. Color and warmth return,
and consciousness is gradually restored
in full.
Among the causes are organic dis
ease OF the heart, especially fatty de-
generation; extreme heat, combined
with impure air; loss of blood, or i'm
poverished blood Gas in angmia;) the
reflex action Of certain conditions of
the stomach or other organs on the
heart More or less Of these causes are
sometimes combined Some persons
faint from very slight causes--an I'M

persons to faint easily and often, and
yet enjoy good health to extreme age.
But when fainting is due to organic dis
ease Of the heart, or to loss of blood, or
to extreme heat, 1t may prove speedily
fatal unless soon relieved.
In its treatment, lay the patient fiat
on the back. This favors the flow of
blood to the brain. We had friend
who could generally anticipate an at |
tack, and check it, or cut il short, by |
at once taking recumbent position. |
Never allow one who has tainted to be
lifted into sitting posture, or to have
even the head raised. If the fainting
is due to excessive loss of blood, this Of
course must be arrested. Meanwhile
manage to place the head lower than
the rest of the body. The heart, too,
should be stimulated with some form OF
alcohol, ammonia, ether or cologne
water. In all cases, secure the pufest

about the chest and neck.

and they do say it was a magnificent
performance. Mr.. Brown, of Pennsyl-

and it has been thoroughly cultivated.
i is high, pure and sweet voice. Mr..
Brown is fond of the highest order Of
music, althoughhe sings some plaintive
ballads in way that would do credit
to professional. Mr.. Hanback,. OF
Kansas, is another tenor. His voice is
not as finely cultivated as Mr.. Browns.
but it is powerful and sonorous. He
would make good chorus singer in the
comic opera were 1t not for his bald
head. Mr.. Hanback, likes the serio-
comic songs of the day. He belongs to
the Elks and is a regular attendant
upon their meetings. He can give a
good recitation as well as sing song.
Sometimes his selections are of the
patriotic order, and sometimes they
partake of the comic, but he seldom
sings any thing sentimental. There are

dance OF Intervals, with twelve perform
ers got up in style out-Horoding Mil

red OF the most lurd hues. Their eyes
were OF fire and snaky locks fell over
their shoulders. An actor wishing TO
frighten them got spare dress, and
making himself a few degrees more de-
Misunderstanding than the regular de-
mons, he one night slipped in among
them. They soon perceived that there
was devil too many, and there could
only be one thought as to where he had
come from,
The mock demons rushed from the
stage, and some of them did not wait 10
throw OIL their dresses, but fled through
the streets homeward, spreading the
alarm that something terrible had hap
pened. The panic spread TO the audi
ence, which dispersed in wild confll-
sion, and the event was soon orna-
mented with all tho imaginative details
that fear and, in some cases, mischief
could suggest. The demons appear
