Arnorionn Cotton in Russia.

The Russians think that the great cotton
mills in Moscow and elsewhere will, within
couple Of years, be enabled to rely upon cot
ton grown in Russia, and thus become lnde-
pendent Of the American and Indian mark
cts. The idea may be exaggerated, but they
are certainly making great and not unsuc-
cessful attempts to cultivate 1t themselves,
and the Russian government supports WITH
great energy every effort in this direction
Recently two great Moscow firms resolved &c
make a trial on a large scale. Upward q
$500 acres were planted with American cot
ton seed in the neighborhood OF Merv.-Ne"

nrent nritain,s Railway Accidents.

The use of the ''block system" and Of
brakes upon railways in Great
Britain has effected a reduction of ST.
34s, $50 in working expenditures during
the last year. A considerable part Of this
reduction is in the direction of damages
paid to passengers injured by accident
and for damage done to freight Recent
statistics further show that the interlock-
ing system of signals and point levers Is
now in use in 81 per cent. Of the railways
in England, 70 per cent. in Scotland, and

STARTLED mother, crying: "Shc's gone

PckIng ChiGonicrs

Gold, silver and other metals. etc., are
often found in the most unlikely places,
says Picking correspondent in the
North China Ga!eite. Last year, no.
ticcd persons digging in the stream that
flows in the moat close to the Chen Men,
in search of gold. The situation was
explained by the contiguity of gold
shops, and the sweepings of such places
arc thrown into the moat There are in
Picking n band of three hundred men
who follow, during the four winter
months, u business which consists in
brushing up the dry dust of our streets,
sicving or tanning it, aud making n
decent living of twenty cents day on
an average. BY far the largest quantity
of metal found is of course iron, in the
form Of dust, pellets, nails, etc., which
is sold at four large Peking cash per
catty.
Next to iron they find copper, silver,
gold and precious stones. The latter are
almost valueless, being crushed by the
carts. After scraping together and win
moving three or four small basket shov
els (po-chD they will secure about hand
full of iron debris. This they deposit in
n bag which they carry round their
waists, and on their returning home they
use tombstone to extract all the iron
and afterward submit the remainder to n
washing process, when the silver-the
main article sought-is at once seen. On
the above calculations there is, therefore,
an army of these metal gatherers making
$50 daily, and this, multiplied by four
months, gives over $1,000! Here is an
almost unknown trade proving suffi-
GENTLY lucrative. The men are scattered
over all the city-on the cart as we'll as
on the foot-passage thoroughfare.

Forms of Attack in Case of War.

The attacks upon our country might
be made from the land or from the sea.
Land attacks, either from the north or
tse south border, are not to be greatly
feared; for, as we could easily bring
into the field our full strength, we
would, in such event, have decidedly
the advantage over an approaching
enemy. Attacks from the sea, that is,
from the Gulf of Mexico, or from either
ocean, would be aimed at our cities on
theasSeaboard, or Mt those within easy
reacgpehr the mouths of large nayiga-
BILE Streams; also ut stable harbors, i'm
portant depots, coal mines near the
shore line, and navy yards. The enemy's
navy would strike our merchant marine
wherever found, and would, of course,
if strong enough, endeavor to defeat
and destroy our navy aaoat. -American

HOUSEHOLD MATTERS
Red Currsnt Jelly.


1t Is such an improvement to currant
jelly to have little red raspberry juice
with it, says a writer in the Prairie
Farmer, that want to speak Of it, so
that those who arc intending 10 make it
will give it trial. There need not be
many raspberrics used-a pint will flavor
three or four times as mnny currants.
Many advise us to make jelly before the
currants are perfectly ripe, but l have
always succeeded best when every berry
was ripe. My method is to take pound
of sugar to each pint of juice. and as
soon as it is weighed, place the sugar in
n flat pan in the oven and let it heat
while the juice is boiling. The principal
boiling should be done before adding the
sugar; this will insure lighter-colo
jelly than when the sugar boils long in
it. 1 have had it jcll MS soon MS the
sugar was added, but generally have to
cook it little while after putting it in.
1t is always we'll to test jelly by taking
up little first, and never depend upon
its thickcning much after it is put into
the glasses. Exposure to the sun for a
dry or two before scaling up is often
resorted 10, but in my experience this is
rarely necessary. Papers covering jcllies
that have stood some tine often become
hard and difficult to remove. Pour
boiling water on them. and Immediately
drain it off, and you will find the paper
is looscned at once.
