BUSINESS BREvlTlES.

4 A RECENT census shows one hundred and
eighteen tobacco factories in operation in
the State Of North Carolina, with capital
Of s., 512, 600.
IT is said that Alaska will become great
mining country within q few years, and also
will furnish canned salmon enough to sup
ply oil this country.
A FIRM in Pennsylvania is attempting to
make paper Of tobacco stems. The stems
are to be treated with acid and mixed with
ground bones. A by-product is phosphate,
which will be sold to farmers for fertilizing
purposes.
The largest iron casting ever attempted
in America was recently made at Bethle-
hem, Pa. It was the base for the steel CON-
pressor to be used in the new gun steel
works, and one hundred and twenty-four
tons OF molten metal were used.
One of the most remarkable mechanical
changes of the day is the setting aside of
steel and the readoption of iron for some of
the most important parts of locomotives
on many railroads. 1t is only comparatively
q few years since the change was made on
most roads from iron to steel.
THE use of brownstone in building bust
ness structures is almost entirely discon-
tinued in New York. It is used for dwell
ings, but its chief employment is for Win
dow and door trimmings. Wherever it
forms building material it is massed with the
utmost plainness and simplicity.
A PARTY Of New Jersey gentlemen who
returned from recent visit to Florida have
decided to introduce the cocoanut tree into
Florida, and have secured a long stretch OF
territory in the southern part Of the State.
They have entered actively upon the work
Of planting, and promise in few years te
supply our Northern markets with an

Packing for Ice.

Sawdust to pack ice in is believed to
be the best material, but this is very diff
ficult to obtain in some parts Of the
country where there are no sawmills. A
correspondent to the Covntry Gentleman
comes to the rescue i'll such cases, and
recommends, next to sawdust. Oat straw
cut rather short, if the oats have been
thickly sown so as to make the straw
small and soft, capable Of packing well,
without air crevices. If uncut, or cut
rather long, it is liable to contain small
creyices through which air may find its
way, but if cut only fourth Of an inch
in length, it may be placed nearly ms
compact as sawdust. Next to oat straw
is fine soft hay. Wheat straw is to stiff,
and will not pack solid, although by very
short cutting it will answer if a greater
amount is used Good fine sawdust
well packed, need never he more than q
foot in thickness; chopped oat straw
will answer, well packed, fifteen inches
hut chopped rye or wheat straw should
be twenty inches or two feet. Unchoppe,
line hay or oats will be quite as good a
chopped wheat straw. Much will de
pend, however, Oh the skill and car,
with which the packing is applied, S,
as effectually to prevent the entranc'
Of air through the crevices.

a Man Who Took Sam Jones' Advice
Literally and Came Out Well.

Here is II story that Sam Jones told in
the First Methodist pulpit last wet-,.
He said:
81 was making II prohibition speech
i'll Robinson county, Tennessee last
year, and noticed on the right Of the
platform bleared. bloated fellow who
was about three parts drunk-cach part
a third. As talked he would screw his
fist into his eyes and wipe away the
tears. After the speaking I went to II
friends house perfectly exhausted aud
lay down. The lady of the house called
ut the door in Il few minutes that man
wanted to see me.
Tell him am tired; | said and
please excuse me.
That's all right, she said, anyhow,
because he is drunken, ragged vaga-
bond.
81 said If he is that sort of ii fellow
let him iii. | used to belong To that
gang myself. and | never 60 back on
them. The man came in, and found
he was the drunken fellow who hal lis
tened to me speak.
''He said Mr.. Jones, [ don't want
any money. Money can do NE no good.
/ am ruined man. Drink has made
happy home AMI household. A few
weeks ago / buried my wife, having
crushed every drop of blood out of her
heart before she died. Ny two boys are
mt the Orphans Home in Nashville. One
Of them is little blind fellow. My two
girls are in Murfreesboro, and this
there he pulled little black cap out Of
his pocket, this is the last thing that is
left to remind me that | ever had Il
household. 1t is my little blind boys
cap. Now, do not want any money
from you, but / Just got an idea from
the way you talked that maybe you had
some sympathy for me. If you have,
pray for me. Good by And he started
off.
"'Hold ON, here, said I, and called
