Encouraging New IEdustry

Very few people seem TO realize the bene-
fits to their town or city by the location
therein of new industries and manufacturing
plants. The Organization of boards of trade
has done much to build up the towns where
little or no manufacturing has been done.
This 10 especially true of the smaller inland
towns, who have heretofore been obliged to
depend upon the larger places for market
for their products, and also for the employ
ment of those who who were obliged N earn
livelihood by means not provided at home,
and in this way the benefit derived from a
home demand has been Withdrawn from the
business interests of the village.
The establishment of one or more manu-
featuring industries in a town has a ten
dency to increase its grow tn AID build it up
| in business way. The townspeople are
provided with a means of employment with
out seeking it in cities, the farmers find a
good market for their products, and large
amount of money is kept in circulation
which would otherwise go elsewhere. 1t
invites new business in every way, and
he lips to build up and beau.fy the town, all
desirable additions AMI features to be appre-
ciated by a progressive race, such as are the
citizens Of our American villages.
| 1t is a fact that cannot be denied, that the
ones in this country. and are what have
created its wealth and power; and the stag
nant condition of those places where there
are no manufacturing interests is very notice
able. 1t is also a fact tina. at the present
| time the young men and women are leaving
their country homes for the cities, to find
employment in the great mills and factories.
In order to prevent this loss, not only of
money but of population. it is necessary to
hold out some inducement TO have them
remain And here it is that the boards Of
trade are doing good work. Many of the
little New England villages whose popula
ton has not increased in years, and from
which most of the young men and women
with push and energy have gone to tird en-
plOyment in larger places, are now waking
up to the facts viii IN the situation presents,
and efforts are being made to provide a
means for their employment nearer HON. g.
The result is that the places are becoming
lively business towns, and the citizens are
reaping the benefits. There is no reason
why every town in New England should not
have is manufacturing industry as well as
its agricultural, and one will be an aid 10 the

Beef Supply.

If any persons have been frightened by
recent rumors of coming deficiency in the
beef supply of the country, they can find
reinsurance in this years report of the Agri
cultural Department on farm animals. To
put the statement in round numbers, there
were %, 900, 900 in the United States in 1860
80 ,0OO, 900 in 1880, and $4,000 900, in 1888,
the year covered by the last report. If we
examine the matter more in detail the in
crease is found to have gone on with consid-
cradle regularity from year to year. There
have been, of C iurse, hard winters and sea:
sons Of pestience, years when breeding paid
well and high prices were the rule, and
years when profits were slight and the fat
tening process unremunerative. Yet through
it all the beef-raising business has steadily
grown, and it promises to go On increasing
quite as rapidly as the needs of the country
demand. The areas of pasture where cattle
can be fattened with little or no extraneous
food are coming TO be more generally occu-
pied; cattle are matured at an earlier age
than formerly. and are more profitable, be-
cause they bring quicker returns under the
modern system of treatment, and thus de-
clnes in price are easier to meet. It ia true
that ranch and range cattle are not as num-
erons as few years ago, because the pat
ture areas are needed by settlers. But as
the ranches are contracted, smaller stock
farms and more careful treatment are re-
sorted to; and there is no re ason, despite
some recent pessimistic predictions, to fear
that the beef supply is at all likely to fall
below the demand. -Proridenee Journal.

Leisure and Idleness.
I Boston Evening Traveller.

Between leisure and idleness there is a
vast difference, although there is tendency
to regard these terms as synonyms. Leisure
is something fine and high and valuable !;
and no life can be we'll lived that has net its
margin Of time for tina, quiet thought and
review Of the situation which life, lived as
fine art demands. To live in a perpetual
drive" to begin work the instant one is
fully awake and prepared to face the
world. and to drop off to sleep il:
utter WEAKNESS, the moment labor is over,
is degrading life to the mere plane of mech
anism. On the other hand, idleness il cheap
and poor. 1t is mental vscui,y. But true
worth in living is the product of mingled &C.
tivity and repose, of periods to think and
plan, and succeeding periods to execute thi.
thought and design. The margin of leisure
is the one factor that eleva,es active life into
intellectual and spiritual achievement.
