Fruits of the Brazilian Treaty.

Already the Bra lillian reciprocity
treaty is showing practical results. A
Baltimore company has been formed, the
Brazil Trading Company, to develop
trade with Brazil. It proposes to pro-
cure and prepare for the market seeds,
fruits. and other products of the two
countries, including coffee, wheat and
corn 1t proposes to establish an agency
in Brazil for the sale and exchange of
these commodities. 1t will ship to or
from any port most convenient. If the
business at Baltimore can be expanded
sufficiently line of steamers may soon be
established between that port and Rio.
The present trade of Baltimore with
Brazil is conducted almost wholly in
sailing vessels New York and Chicago
capitalists are interested in the new
company. The capital stock will be in
creased from $685. to $5O0,O00, as the
requirements of the case demand.
In the cargo of a British steamer
bound for Rio and Santos-what pity
that it was British!-which sailed few
days ago from Baltimore, were twenty
five street cars, three locomotives, 5000
barrels of -four, and quantities of lard,
oil, and bacon.

A Free-Trade Prom Gone,

What will the "tariff-is-a-ta editor
do now? He has made the increased
duty on tin plate his greatest card, and
now it is blown away in, one breath! We
have been told that the poor man would
have to pay that quarter of cent extra
duty on his dinner-pail and we have al
most been led to believe that new coin
would have to be made that this "tax"
might be paid, at least till we made our
own tin plate in sufficient quantities to
reduce the price But now we are told by
Congressman Niedringhaus that the for
eign tin-plate workers have agreed to sell
the American market all the tin-plate we
want without any added cost on account
of the increased duty So the poor
workingman won't have 10 scrape to-
gether that quarter of cent after all.
But what will the free trade editor do?
This tin plate "tax" was his greatest and
almost only standby. And now that
prop is gonel Well, he must send to the
Golden Club and get some new ones from
headquarters. But he must hurry up,
for they are getting very weak over
there, and won't hold ont much longer.
So make hay while the Sun shines, free
traders! 1t will soon enough be all
moonshine with you.

Hnw fh q SRnRfa Stands.

The statement published in several
papers that the Republican ma Ority in
the next National Senate will be only
three is not correct. The election of
Mr.. Palmer in Illinois has definitely set
tied the status of that body. There is
no doubt that a Republican will be
elected in California to succeed Senator
Hearst, and Democrats, in Maryland to
suddeed Senator Wilson, deceased, and
in Florida to fill the vacancy. In the
last Senate the Republicans had fifty-ole
members and the Democrats thirty-seven,
Republican majority of fourteen. This
has been reduced by the election of Dem
ocrats as follows: In New York, Gov.
Hill to succeed w. NJ Evarts; in Wis
consin, w. T. Was to succeed j. G.
Spooner; and in Illinois, j. M. Palmer
to succeed c.. B. Farwell. This,
with Republican successor to Ser
ator Hearst, gives the Republicans
i'm the next Senate AZ, Democrats 80.
And the Farmers Alliance will have two
members, PETER of Kansas, and Kyle Of
South Dakota In South Carolina, q Mr..
Irby was elected to succeed Wade Hamp-
ton, but he has declared his intention to
act with the Democrats Oil every meas
ure. Mr.. PETER will take seat on the
Republican side, but he is expected to
remain an independent. The RcpubIi-
cans will have a lead Of eight over the
Democrats, and ma GRITTY of six when
the Democrats and the "indecrats"-
Messrs PETER and Kyle-combine their
vote with them. 1t is not large, but
will be sufficient to save the country
from ruin through the hoodlum Demo-
cratic House.-Des Motnes Register.

Laughs His Jaw out OF Joint.

A New York dispatch says, coIored
man dashed wildly down Amsterdam
Avenue late Thursday night frightening
some people and convulsing others with
laughter at his ludicrous appearance.
His name is Paten Coles. He is small
man and has big mouth. His mouth
was open to its fullest extent and his
eyes were bullying. He dashed up the
steps of the Manhattan Hospital and
rang the bell furiously. The surgeons
recognized him and knew just what to
do. His lower jaw is not as firmly set
as it ought to be. He enjoys hearty
laugh as well as most people, and when
he laughs or yawns he disIocates his
jaw. His friends occasionally tell him
funny story for the pleasure of giving
him a run to the hospital. They did so
mouth ago and DR.. Purdy had the
task of swapping Coles jaw into place.
On Thursday night friend tried to re-
peat the joke. The story he told was
SO old that Coles yawned, but the re-
suit was the same. and his jaw dropped
out of place. DR.. Lombard put the jaw
in working order again.

The EnPlish Salt Trust,

Are there trusts in free trade England?
Here is what the London correspondent
of the New York Sun says:
"The great salt trust is now in posi-
tion believed to be impregnable against
attack, and although it has just declared
only the modest dividend of per cent,
the business of the coming year is ex-
pected to yield profit justifying a 20
per cent. dividend. During the past year
the trust sold 100000 tons of salt, or
$1,000 tons more than the previous year,
and the price increased by about seven
pence and halfpenny per ton. The So
we're winter increased the cost of fuel by
about $4,000 and to avoid con 1icts with
their workmen the trust increased wages
by over 100000. An immediate expan-
sion in the colonial trade is expected,
and a friendly arrangement has been
made with the North American Salt
Union by which the British trust will pay
q certain percentage on all salt above
800, 900 tons exported to ports between
Maine and North Carolina. There is
reason to believe the trust will soon buy
up the few remaining private salt firms.
so that the outlook is cheerful indeed,
except to the users of salt"

A New Artificial Stone,

Ferroid is a new artificial stone de.
scribed by Mr.. Herman Poole in the
Journal of the association of En-.
cheering Societies as a compound,
partly chemical and partly mechanical,
of iron, sulphur, and silicon, with more
or less foreign matter. "It is mainly q
supersaturated solution of iron in the
sulphur with the silica acting as q
binder and hardener. Its normal color
is dark slate, varying somewhat with
the manner in which It is dressed, but
the color can be modified by the intro
duction of pigments. Successful imita-
tions of various colored brick and sand
stone have been made. 1t is about the
hardness of ordinary bluestone, and can
be worked by the usual stone-cutting
tools, turned in the lathe or planed.
The tensile strength is from $50 to l.
300 pounds per square inch, and under
compression it endures from 5000 to
$4,000 pounds. Its specific gravity is
about &c. 1t melts at about 300 de-
grees Fahrenheit very slowly. 1t does
not deteriorate under exposure to the
weather. AS it can be melted and
moulded it is applicable to great va
riety of uses to which stone cannot be
put, and particularly SO for large cast
iugs, such as pipes for sewers, etc. Ar
chitectural forms can be very conve-
niently made from it in position il
needed. For culverts and bridge
foundations the perfect smoothness OF
which the surface is susceptible is ad-
vantageous in lessening water friction.

Absent Minded People.

A writer la the New York Tribune re-
Gently heard two stories of absent-nlind-
edness which are encouraging to those
who suffer from mild form of the dis

about her father. He was in his library,
and his cries brought the whole family
to the room. They hurried in and found
him near his favorite table, poking un-
der it and around it among his papers
and everywhere with his walking-stick.
When some one asked him what
he was looking for, he only con-
tnued to poke with the stick.
Finally he turned in disgust and said:

course the stick which he was thrusting
into the waste-paper basket and into
every corner was the one for which he
was searching.

And there isn't a state or

has been found to be increased by from
80 to 40 per cent. above the normal,
says the Colliery Guardian. In Bel
GUM the State railways use 10000
tons of coal per annum, or about $500
tons daily; but in cold and frosty
weather the consumption increases to
$500 tons per day. In addition to
this, the consumption of coal on frosty
days on the Grand Central, the Nord-
Beige, and the narrowgauge railways
is greater by about 1000 tons, or to-

A FEW years ago, says the Station
airy Engineer, no one dreamed that in
so short a time the electric light would
become a regular part of the equipment
of mills aud factories. It was only
when the dynamo found it's place in
the engine room and the incandescent
light sparkled in the shops and work
rooms that the engineer found anything
of special interest to him in the study
of electricity. Now he must study it
whether he will or no, and though the
knowledge he most requires must be of
practical nature, he must have q
goodly amount of theoretical or shook"
information in order to understand

in REVEALS never has any very hard bat
, ties with the devil
THE man who works for the good OF
others is taking Gods way to gain
strength for himself.
The man who wilfully wrongs another
is helping the devil to tie rope around
his own neck.
The reason some people do not have
more power is because they do not have
enough weakness.
AS LONG as man can be kept busy
for God the devil don't stand much Of a
chance with him.
If you haven't got religion enough to
sustain you in trial, how do you know
that you have any?
If you haven't got religion enough to
keep you sweet when the bread is sour,
whose fault is it?
IF you want to find the bravest of all
men, find the one who knows he is where
God wants him to be.
THE measure of a mans real character
is what lie would do If he knew it would
never be found out.
The time when people need religion
the most is when they can't have their
own way about things.
GODS mercy never fails, but when
the sinner sees his own heart rs it is, he
has no mercy on himself.
No MAN can ever take a single step
toward Heaven unless he is looking to-
ward Christ while he does it.
IF some people could look themselves
squarely in the face, they would want
to have their heads cut off.
WHEN the devil don't know what else
to do in the church, he most generally
kicks up rumpus in the choir.
AS LONG as we look at other people
to find out what God is doing, we shall
be sure to be disappointed.
NOBODY wants to keep runaway
horse, but good many keep runaway
tempers and think nothing of it..
THERE is nothing dry or monotonous
about the testimony of people who con-
tinually walk and talk with God. -
MEN turn coldly away from US when
we fail to accomplish the grand things
We set out to do, but God never does.
SWEETNESS that never sours will do
more to smooth your pathway through
this vale of tears than considerable

A GOOD many people think that there
ought to be more fasting and praying,
but they want somebody else to do it.

The farmers in the vicinity of the
Gambo Powder Mills, in Windham,
Conn.,, use as fertilizer the salt which
accumulates in great quantities at the
mills. The salt comes from the salt
peter, and its separation from the
inter is a process of refining which
constitutes the most difficult and i'm
portant feature of powder making. In
the year 1868 tobacco was pretty
scarce in the North, and its cultivation
was instituted in Connecticut. At
that time 800 tons of salt had accu-
mulated at the powder mills, and it
was sold to the Connecticut tobacco
growers as fertilizer for | cent q
pound delivered at wharf in Port

For what was considered worthless,
the sum of $4,000 was derived.
