Economy is the soul of wealth. Near
Milan nearly q, 900 acres of land, irrigated
with water derived from the sewers of the
city, are yielding crops of from eight to
ten tons of hay as rule, while occasion
ally some separate meadows will yield the
fabulous amount of eighteen tons of hay
per acre.
This is a large country. There are
&c, 600, 900 acres of Nnsurveyed land In
the State of Washington, and much of
that great extent of country is almost i'm
penetrable, being covered with a magnif
cent growth of the finest kind of timber.
Surveyors have literally to cut their
way every foot, because of the thick under
brush.
Nayemura Sakusaboro, japanese drug
gist, has discovered process by which he
can convert wild hemp into fabric
| which cannot be distinguished from silk.
Repeated tests have been made of the new
fabric at the silk weaving establishment in

The Norwich Bulletin makes good
point, as follows: Just how much truth
been increased for the benefit of the man
! ufacturers may be seen in the illustration
afforded by the tariff on cotton goods such
as are made in this city. Instead of being
increased it has been reduced about half a
cent yard. but it is still ample to protect
the industry and to protect the wages
paid, which is all that the manufacturers
ask. They are perfectly satisfied with the
decreased duty, because it still equalizes
the labor cost between this and foreign
countries.
Not the least of Prince Bismarck's SER
vices to the German people has been his
devotion to tho improvement and multipli-
| cation of German trade schools. In
Prussia the government funds for indus
trial educational institutions increased
y
ship from $4,000 to $3S5,000 The free
scholarship funds were trebled, and the ap
preparation for trades publications for the
information of German mechanics from
$4,000 to $35, 200. For the purpose Of
Germanizing the Polish districts, 15(
schools, with $50 classes and 12,O0t
scholars were founded in west Prussia ant
Posen. One of the most potent causes o.
r this policy was the failure of the German
d exhibit at Philadelphia in 1876. As Bis
a marcks biographer, Lowe, says: The com
9 ment "cheap and bad" which was thel
passed on tho German wares, cut Bis
. marck to the heart, and he at once re
solved, by education and protection t.

things.
