SALEM NEWS.

hands and insure the doubling of the
present population Of 1000 in another
year. Among the industries recently
secured are rolling mill from Cincin-
natl, the Olean Speed Cart Works from
clean, N. Y, and wire nail works from
Parkersburg, W. Va.
Negotiations are in progress for ad-
ditional plants to employ large num-
Der of hands, and the land companies,
with an aggregate capital stock of
"a, 100000, have voted liberal sums
for new industries. A wooden
mill NEARLY completely that will
manufacture its goods into clothing,
will employ large number of females.
The early extension of the Baltimore
and Ohio and the Roanoke and Southern
to Salem will make it an important rail-
way center, and hasten its growth into
large iron, steel and general manufac-
turing and commercial city. Salem and
Roanoke, now rapidly growing together,
are destined to be the great industrial
center Of Virginia.
The proximity of the great Flat Top
coal fields, the cheapness of the famous
Pocahontas coal and coke, the abundant
supply of iron ore, timber, and other
raw materials, make Salem an advan-
tageous point for manufactures.
Salem is the most attractive town in
Virginia; and it may we'll be proud of
its SUI passingly beautiful location, its
healthful climate, its refined society, it's
fine churches, it's excellent schools, and
of Roanoke College, one of the leading
institutions in Virginia. Attractive as
o place of residence, it now offers I'M
usual advantages for manufacturing and
general business. No other town in
Virginia has ever equalled Salem's
record of progress for the last twelve
menths. The stage of experiment is
passed, and Salem is now firmly estab-
lished on a solid industrial basis
The property of the Salem Improve
ment Company adjoins the old town and
is surrounded by the lands of other
strong companies. Being inside prop
crty, it will continue to increase in
value. The Norfolk and Western and
the Dummy Line to Roanoke run
through it and have their passenger
stations on it. The streets have been
graded and the town system of water
works extended through it. On College
avenue, which has been we'll graded and
macadamized at cost of $4,000, only
brick or stone buildings may be erected.
At the foot of this avenue stands the
fine new stone passenger station OF the
Norfolk and Western railroad, and
600, exclusive of the land or furniture,
is under roof, the Improvement Com
pany's bank and Office building-5O by
80 feet, three stories-is nearly ready
for occupancy, and number Of large
business houses have been built and
others are in course of erection
This avenue is sure to become one
of the finest business thoroughfares
in Virginia.
Persons interested in locating plants.
or in making investments in Virginia,
should not fail to visit Salem. A
pamphlet of 80 pages, a map and
further information will be furnished
by j. w. ALLEMONG, President,
Salem, Va.

Says the Washington Star: That singu-
lar Chinese revolu tion which aims, it has
been said, at striking down the existing
Manchu dynasty and substituting for it
native dynasty by looting the foreign
missions, that have nothing whatever to
do with Chinese politics, is still revolv-
ing in the provinces. The Imperial
Government hardly appears to realize its
danger, if it be in any. The celestials
are people of fixed habits and ideas,
but they do change their Governors once
In long ages, retaining the childlike no.
tion of kingly ruler who alone can COM
munc with the Supreme Being in the
temple of heaven. For the rest they
have the Confucian philosophy, the
Tagst mysticism, the worship of ances-
tors 'd widespread doctrines of
Buddh d alorted from India. Supple
mentlng these moral, intellectual and
religious conceptions and practices, the
Chinese have the thrift, the industry and
the toughness of fiber of all other east
ern peoples combined. A change of dy-
nasty would mean no change of the ma
tional characteristics.

Brazil's Domestic Pet.

Rats have multiplied to such degree
in Brazil that the inhabitants rear a GER
tain kind of snake for destroying them.
The Brazilian domestic servant is the
giboia, a small species of boa about
twelve feet in length and of the diameter
of a mans arm. 1t is sold at from 81
to 81. so in the markets of Rio Janeiro,
Pernambuco, Bahia, etc. This snake,
which is entirely harmless and sluggish
in its movements, passes the entire day
asleep at the foot of the staircase of the
house, scarcely deigning to raise its head
at the approach of a visitor or when a
strange noise is heard in the vestibule.
At nightfall the gIboia begins to hunt.
crawling along here and there, and even
penetrating the space above the ceiling
and beneath the flooring. Springing
swiftly forward, it seize the rat by the
nape and crushes its cervical vertebre.
AS serpents rarely eat, even when at lib
erty, the gibola kills only for the pleas
ure of killing. 1t becomes so accustomed
to its masters house that if carried to a
distance it escapes and finds its way back
home. Every no use in the warmest
provinces where rats abound owns its
giboia, fixture by destination, and the
owner of which praises its qualities when
he wishes to sell or let his house. .-Nes,
York Commercial Adpsrtiser.

In the estimation of the Boston Tran
script ''one of the most significant of
possible indications of the genuineness
of the bonds which unite Germany and
Austria was furnished recently on the
battlefield of Koniggratz in Bohemia,
where deputations of officers from the
various Austrian and Prussian and Saxon
regiments met to commemorate the
twenty fifth anniversary of that conflict
which crushed all the pretensions of the
Hapsburgs to authority in Germany. Per-
haps the idea may have been gathered
from America, where Gettysburg and
many other fields have become fami-
liar with the spectacle of such re-
unions of whilom antagonists. But the
thing is absolutely novel in Europe, and
the fact that the Austrians and Saxons on
the one side could bring themselves to
drink with the Prussians on this scene of
their historic humiliation helps us to
measure how truly the world has been
changed since the Bonaparte empire was
demolished in France. Perhaps the
Saxons' part in the celebration is even
more remarkable than that borne by the
Austrians, for Saxony still recalls with
bitterness how barely it escaped the fame
of Hanover after the Prussian victory
After this there can be no question of
the entire homogeneity of the interests
and aims inside the German Empire.
William is, as it were, to put the official
seal upon this complete unification of his
subjects in the autumn by reviewing
Bavaria's two army corps, something no
German Emperor heretofore has done out
of fear of woundiug South German sus-
capabilities.

The determination of the height of
Mount Orizaba, located about 100 miles
east of the City of Mexico, is the object
of an expedition that has left Terre
Haute, Ind, under the charge of DIR.
Scoville of that city, who is accompanied
by Professor Scaton of Bloomington
University and Professor Woolman of
De Pau University. 1t is believed by
DR.. Scoville that the single measurement
that has been made of the mountain is
inaccurate, owning to the defective in
struments used. He holds that more
accurate instruments will show that 1t is
higher than Mount st. Elias, now re-
garded as the highest peak in North
America. They will establish them
selves on the timber line, and besides
measuring the height, they. will make
collection of native insects, snakes, fish
animals, and plants. The Mexican
Government, which takes a deep interest
in the success of their work, has facili-
tated it by granting them special privi-
leges.

Some Properties of Coffee.

Coffee owes its stimulating and re.
freshing qualities to caffeine. 1t also
contains gum, sugar, fat, acids, cassein
and wood and fibre. Like tan, it pow
erfully increases the respiration, but,
unlike it, does not affect its depth. BY
its use the rate of the pulse is increased
and the acting of the skin diminished.
1t lessons the amount of blood sent tc
the organs of the body, distends the
veins and contracts the capillaries, thus
preventing the waste of tissue. 1t is a
mental stimulus of high order, and one
that is liable to great abuse. Carried to
excess it produces abnormal wakeful-
ness, indigestion, acidity, heart burn,
irratability of temper, trembling, irregu-
lar pulse, kind of intoxication ending
in delirium and great injury to the
spinal functions. On the other hand,
coffee is of sovereign efficacy in tiding
over the nervous system in emergencies.
Coffee is also, in its place, an excellent
medicine. In typhoid fever its action is
frequently prompt and decisive. 1t is
indicated in the earlier stages before
local complications arise. Coffee dispels
stupor and lethargy, is an antidote for
many kinds of poisons, and is valuable
in spasmodic asthma, whooping cough,
cholera infantum and Asiatic cholera. 1t
is also excellent as preventive against
infectious or epidemic diseases. In dis
tricts rife with malaria and fever the
drinking of hot coffee before passing into
the open air has enabled persons living
in such places to escape contagion.-

4 census bulletin shows that there
were 73, ,045 paupers in the almhouses of
this country in 1890. The poor who re-
ceive outdoor relief will bring the num-
Der up to 100000. That is not very
