We are satisfied from our obserya-
ton and reading on the subject, that
canning factories cannot be operated
by stock companies, with wage la
Dor, without a loss, We believe
there is a way, however, to make
them profitable, and that is for farm
ers to organize companies of from
ten to twenty members, put up the
factories, plant and raise the neces-
sary vegetables to supply them, and
let their own sons and daughters
learn the business and operate the
factories. They could thus work up
the products of their own farms at
small expense, and furnish a market
for all the surplus their neighbors
could raise. Satisfactory arrange
ments could also be made with mer-
chants to furnish a portion of the
operating capital, and market the
product Of the factory. Canning
factories operated on the above plan
we believe will pay, but operated by
ordinary stock companies, with q
high salaried manager, hiring all
other labor, and depending upon the
ordinary market for their supply Of
fruits and vegetables, they will not
prove a success.

LATEST FROM THE FLOODS.

The flood in the lower Mississippi
valley is daily and hourly expanding
and increasing, and the situation
down there constantly grows more
alarming. Not only hundreds of
plantations are under water, but
many towns and villages are also
submerged, and the city of New Or
leans is seriously threatened with
total inundation. From Memphis
to New Orleans there is an immense
sea of water, and thousands of people
are homeless, their dwellings having
been swept away by the foods. Some
lives have been lost, and hundreds OF
of cattle, mules, and other stock
drowned. The flood is unprecedent-
ed in the history of the country. Our
space this week will not admit Of
fuller details.

NM FACTORIES.

Many of our state exchanges are
advocating the establishment of can
ming factories in the smaller towns
and villages of Tennessee, and a cor
respondent of the STANDARD a few
weeks ago suggested such an enter
prise for this county. A canning fac
tory is an excellent thing for any
town OF community, where it can be
operated successfully, but there are
several essentials to success, the alb
sence of either one of which will in
sure failure ofthe venture. The cost
of the necessary building and machin-
cry is a small matter. A sufficient
amount of money to start a canning
factory could be raised in most any
town or village, but much more than
this is necessary for success. In the
first place, a man who thoroughly
understands all the details of the bus
mess must be had to manage the
factory, and such a man cannot be
had for less than $1,000 to $500 per
year. In the second place, a factory
to be run With profit must have an
abundant supply of material to work
upon. All of the surplus sweet corn,
tomatoes and other vegetables at
present raised in Warren count
would not run even a small factory
for a month. This county. raises nc
peaches TO speak of, and we doubt il
canned apples could be sold for the
cost of canning. The blackberry croT
is generally abundant, and if they
can be had in sufficient quantities a
the prices factories pay, a be can

margin Of profit on canned goods il
very small, and the competition
quite sharp, so it will require excel

along the line, but it is not likely
that an Office will be established at

Commenting on the above the

graph Line. which is now being
extended to many Southern cities,

WEATHER PROPHETS.
Rev. Hicks, of St. Louis, Says the
Storm Period is Not Yet Over.

st. LOUIS, March 2S.-Rev. Ira r.
Hicks, of this city, who has achieved
more than a local reputation as a
weather prophet, and who predicted
the late storm with wonderful accu-
racy, now gives a forecast for April,
which includes numerous marked
changes in temperature and three dis
tinct storm periods. He says the
month will open with a summer tenn
perature and vernal storms will occur
on the lst and I'd, especially on the
I'd. The 9th, 18th, Sth and 9th are
designated as danger days, when
there will be heavy storms Of light
ming, wind and hail, with snow in
Northern sections. About the 18th
it will be cold, with much frost.
Active and violent storms will again
occur on the 10Th, goth and DIST,
moving from the West to the East.
From this on there will be the usual
April showers and the month will
go out with a high thermometer.
The dates of the greatest earthquake
probabilities are given as the 9Th,
10Th, Goth and Dist. Prof. George
Root, of Canton, Mo-, another sue
cessfui weather prognosticator, pre-
diets "a tornado period from the 10Th

sition Of individual persons. and an honest
corporation has nothing TO fear from clear
statement OF its business TO the government
quarterly, or semi-annually at least. This
is simple justice. 1t is what the people de-
mand, and the sooner the corporations rec
ognize this fact and assist in bringing about
the reform the better it will he for all stock
holders, who are the real owners but not the
controllers of these concerns.
If railroads would propose to the Federal
Government feasible plan Of honest super
vision, they would get rid ofwhat they COM
PLAIN is troublesome State interference, the
public would be entirely satisfied when they
knew their rights were being guarded, and
railroad stocks would become the best Sc

dishonest intent and the thirst for untram-

corporations resist what they must in the
end submit to, government supervision.

The Barbaric Splendor.

Nothing ON earth equals in magnifcence
the barbaric splendor of those old czars.
| visited the museum where they showed
me with great pride the products of the
Russian mines. Here was the largest
nugget of gold in the world; the largest
lump of silver, the largest specimen of
malachite, and the largest lapis lazuli,
with hundred and one other thing from
the Siberian mines.
l saw the saddles and caparisons of
some of these old warriors. One, 1 re-
member, had large saddle blanket, as
you might call it, made of cloth of gold.
At distance it looked perfectly white,
and it was large enough to cover the
greater portion of the body of the war
horse. A closer inspection showed that
it was covered all over with diamonds of
the purest water. The larger ones were
sewn ON in the form of stars and other
figures, but the entire surface was COW
cred with these gems.
The blanket was worth thousands and
thousands of dollars.
Then, in one of GATHERINGS palaces,
saw columns of pure amber, with the
walls of entire rooms covered with the
same costly stuff.
And yet, in other countries of Europe,
amber has become so scarce that it is al
most impossible to secure pure article,
and imitation amber is used for jewelry.

Afraid to Lie Down.

Who knows why birds sleep standing
on one leg? The position seems most I'M
natural. Reasoning in advance, we should
pronounce it tiresome, if not impossi-
bic, attitude. Yet the canary tucks its
head under it's wing, draws up one foot,
and goes to sleep, apparently with quite
as much comfort as we experience on the
best of mattresses. A writer in Horse
and Stable notes a similar, though less
abnormal, habit on the part of horses,
who, it appears, are in many cases very
averse to lying down.
The writer once rode a mare seventy
miles in single day. The stable in which
she was put for the night was as COM
Portable as it could well be made, but she
stood up all night long. She ate her oats
and hay and then went to sleep, leaning
forward With her breast against the
manager.
There are horses that have never been
seen to lie down, nor have any marks of
their having done SO ever been found
upon their bodies. recall one that for
fifteen years occupied q particular stall
in my grandfathers stable. Up to the
hour he died no one ever saw him lying
down, although special watch was some
times kept after he had been driven for
eight or ten hours.
Unless horse lies down regularly his
rest cannot be complete, and his joints
and sinews stiffen. 1t is true that some
horses that always sleep in o standing
position continue to work for many
years, but it is equally true that they
would live longer and work better if
they rested naturally.
Young horses from the country are
liable to refuse to lie down when first
put into q stable in town, and the in
furious habit may become confirmed I'm
less special pains are taken to induce a
change.
The indisposition to lie down is often
very pronounced in sick horses. They
seem to have an instructive fear that if
they lie down they may never be able to
rise, and continue on their feet till their
limbs refuse to bear them up.

Incidents in Alexander Hamilton's Life.

Incidents in Alexander Hamilton's Life.
Before Alexander was 10 years of age
he was placed in the Office of West In
and developed a remarkable business ca
pacity. He gained his first lesson in
composition from writing business letters
for the firm, and these letters are said to
be remarkable for one SO young. He
also contributed to the press, at one time
giving an account of hurricane that
visited the island, which was SO wildly
described as to attract attention. TWAS
considered that something must be done
for SO bright boy with a view to Civ
ing him an education. His friends and
relatives furnished the funds and he was
sent to America, where he arrived in
IRE, landing at Boston, whence he pro-
ceeded to New York. After brief
course of study at Elizabethtown. N. j.,
he entered Kings college (now Column
bia)
The mutterings of the American Revo-
luton were then being first heard Ham
ilton was naturally at first on the side of
the mother country, but study of the
wrongs of the colonists converted him,
and he was eager for chance to speak
upon their side. He did not have long
to wait for an opportunity. A meeting
of citizens was called to take place in
the fields near the college building on
the 9th of July, 1774. While this meet
ing was in progress youth was seen
struggling towards the platform. When
he arrived there he mounted it, the
crowd shouting, ga collegian! A collie
gian!" Then Alexander Hamilton, a
mere lad of II, poured forth an eloquent
speech in behalf of the rights of the
colonies.
After this, Hamilton advocated the
cause with his pen as well as with his
tongue. He was soon called upon to add
the sword. In the spring of 1776, when
10 years of age, he took command of an
artillery company of New York, and dis
tinguished himself at Long Island and
White Plains by his gallantry as COM
mander of this company. Then Gen.
Greene, whose attention was attracted
to the young soldier, procured for him a
position on Washington's staff.
The most important task which fell to
Hamilton while aid-de-camp to the
commander-in-chief was a mission to
Albany to obtain troops from Gen. Gates
after the Burgoyne campaign; a task
which by his firmness and tact he car
ried through successfully. While on
this mission he met and courted Miss
Elizabeth Schuyler, of a powerful New
York family, to whom he was married
in 1880. She became invaluable to him
in assisting him in the arrangement and
care of his papers. These papers, con-
tanning many valuable historical facts,
she presented to the government of the
United States long after her husbands
death.-Exchange
