Colonial Council. {
From tHThe West Indian and CONNER
cial Advertiser for April, we are able to
give an extract concerning the Slsal-henp
industry in the Bahamas in 1888. The 'eX-
tract is from a report on the official "Btue
book" which contains other interesting
particulars about the large group OF islands
collectively called the Bahamas. ssWe quote
the following III regard to population.
'TThe population by the last census, In 1881,
was 43, 521., and is estimated for 1888 at
about 5000. There were 1,687 births and
1895 deaths during the ear, the rates be-
ing 1916 and 25'18 respectively, No dis
elimination is made between white and
colOured people in these returns, but the
former may be estimated as forming about
% per cent. of the whole popnlation.'
The revenue, eXpenditur and other mo-
notary items, which are entered IN strrllnGy
we give here in dollars and cents, as more
familiar.
The revenue for 1888 was nearly 1928, 900
the expenditure 1922, 600. The total i'm
ports amounted to over $3.50, 900 but this
included nearly 1913, 600 cargo landed from
vessels in distress, s 5000 from wrecked
vessels and over $1,000 from dereilct
vessels. OF the imports proper, about 70
per cent. only came from Great Britain,
while II per cent. came from the United
States. 1t is mentioned that AL goods from
EuroDe come via New York, the direct lIaG
of ScruttOn teamerS having ceased to
call at Nassau since tn. spring OF 1883
The exports of Colonial produce amounted
to over $500, 900. Ihe proportion going to
Britain and British colonies was a little
over 10 per cent, while the United States
took SIS per cent.
Sponges form the largest item OF
export, amounting in alu to nearly
a quarter of d million of dollars.
About the sponge fishery, however, it is
remarked, that cit is generally reported
that the sponge beds are becoming rapidly
depleted, and this fact renders it impoSsi-
ble to regard the industry as being III a
satisfactory condition"
Next in Importance to spOnges come
mines, of which more than six and a half
millions were exported. This was about
two and a quarter millions more than III
the previous year, and this great increase
is put down mainly to the extended use OF
fertilizers, of which 1855 barrels were
imported during the year, valued at nearly
1000. Besides the raw fruit, the colony
exported 81 900 cases of preserved pines,
amounting in value to over 2 1000.
The sponges in the sea and the pines on
the land have hitherto been the main
resources of the Bahamas. A small crop OF
oranges; salt, amounting in value to about
$3.50 00 and a little cotton are the only
other items of export mentioned.
The Sisal- hemp industry seems to be
quite new, for the fibre is not mentioned
as an export in 1888. The cultivation of
the plant is, therefore, as yet, apparently
only in the experimental stage. 1t would
BE- very interesting to know what is the
amount of the government bounty on the
cultivation, i'll what form it is to be paid,
and for how long a period. This would

About Needles.


lost my needle!
Well, it wasn't the first time, but a-some-
thing that happens almost every day; yet l
must say don't know when was SO pro-
voked as was this time.
How often have I laid my work down to
answer the door-beli, returned to my sewing
and found that my needle was lost! Or at
tended to the fire and came back to find my
needle was missing; or gone upon sundry
other duties, to return and find that indis-
pensable little instrument was misplaced.
To go from ones hand-sewing to the ma
chine ard come back again to the hand
sewing to find yourself again without a
needle! I take one or two good looks
about me, and, finding no needle, open the
paper and take another. Then little
later, when l am cleaning up my sew
ing room, find it. of course. for, as my
dear mother used to say, Klaus verliert
nichts''-the house cannot lose anything.
As l keep myself supplied with needles of
all sorts, sizes and descriptions DO not US
ually need to lose time in looking for my
yokins time of which speak had, actu-
ally, not another worsted darnlng needle IN
the house, .nd could not at that moment
replace the lost article.
How little we'd worry over such small
thing if we'd stop and think OF the time
when there were no needlys. impossible:
one would think, for it locks as if Eve in
Paradise must have thought of the homely
little tool. and yet it was only discovered IN
the fifteenth century. In the year l4l0 the
needle took the place of the tlll-then- used
thorn. Rich people used thorns made OF
silver to fasten their garments:
Tourangan, a wiremaker OF farls, was tAe
inventor of the needle. he was very IN
dustrious man. and Was anxious to add to
his trade more profitable income. The
construction of the needle was very tedl-
GUS and slow process. consequently needles
were counted among articles rare and cost
ly. and found only among the toilet articles
of the queens and princesses.
A daughter of Louis IA OF france re.
ceived box of needles as one OF her most
luxurious wedding presents from ner royal
parents. And to this day the quaint ex'
preston ''Nadel Geld' needle money! or,
as you Americans say, "pin money, proves
how important, and what great
expense it was considered among house
Us to the st time Of Henry VIII. the needle
was not known in England. At that time
the beautiful ill fated Anne Boleyn brought
them from France with her to England. II
is not impossible that the saying, reIefhnR
to its bringing bad luck. "Zersticht DIE
Liebe." points back to this sympatny-oe'
serving queen. -,
In almost all known countries the needle
is an instrument used only by women; IN
Abyssinia the needle belongs almost wholly
to the men. Imagine, dear housenolaeas'
our husbands darninG our hose ana mend
ing our linens.
Well, l shall worry no more over my toet
needle, but just be thankful that 70 i've y
town where needles are plenty, ana snan

The Mamie Sngnr ENchange.

The maple sugar exchange reports maple
sugar receipts for the year thus: Cake
sugar, 1864 pounds; pail sugar, 6O,5,l
pounds; syrup, 1888 gallons: amount now
on hand to supply the trade until new crop,
5000 pounds sugar and 400 gallons syrup,
all first quality.
An undue proportion of the goods re-
ceived was in cake sugar, much of which
could not be handled before warm weather.
This necessitated remelting and putting in
pals and cake packages suitable for the
trade. The experience of the past has
shown the necessity OF sending larger
proportion of the goods to the exchange in
syrup in tin cans holding from one to five
gallons each In the future preference in
sales will be given TO sugar consigned by
stockholders, and no advances of money will
be made to those who do not hold certif-

1t was formerly thought that oily food
would produce much fat in the milk or flesh
on steer, but that opinion is not now
generally held What is the effect Of turn
ing cows out to pasture? Experiments and
analysis of milk have shown that there is
an increase in the quantity and quality of
milk but not in the amount of water in it.
Prof. Whitchcr said that he had one COW
that would not eat ensilage but it did not
follow from that that ensilage was not
worth anything. Experiments made in
feeding the same cows corn meal and glu-
ten meal in turn showed that there was n
marked increase in the quantity and quail
~ of the milk with the gluten meal, but
the butter was softer Feed cattle upon corn
meal to increase the amount OF fat and
decrease the amount of caseine in the milk
Most of Prof Whitcher's talk was in the
nature OF q statement of the results of many
experiments made at his experiment station.
He did not believe that the amount Of fat
in milk could be much increased beyond
what it now contained, but was willing to
try an experiment that any one could sug-
gcst 10 bring this about Which is the
richer--n,ght or morning milk ? When
the COWS are ont at pasture mornings milk
i, the richer and when they are kept in the
barn the nights milk is the richer and the
change is noticed within a day OF two after
/ ii is made.
