StavaIeaa RarreIa.

Il is doubtless matter Of general
knowledge that the bodies otcasks md
barrels are composed 81 number OF
tapered slaves, which are assembled
together, held in position and hoped
mp. BY novel and ingenious method
Of manufacture, casks are now being
manufactured from one piece Of wood,
and therefore without any stavea, or,
it may be SAID with only one. the
body constituting in itself n long,
single stave. The method Of prepar-
ing the body OF the cask may be
llkened TO the sharpening OF lend
pencil by o pocket-sharpener. The
stem OF the tree is first cut up int o
pieces or logs Of a length according to
that Of the barrel required, and is
then boiled for two or three hours in n
closed vessel to soften the wood
n current Of electricity being passed
through the water the whole time.
From the boiler the log OF wood is
taken to the machine, where it is held
ut each end horizontally between two
points much in the same way as n
piece Of wood is held in the lathe. Ro.
tation is given to the piece Of timber,
which is advanced towards broad
blade fixed on frame having q slot
III il in line with the edge OF the
blade, just as in plane, which the
cutting part of the machine may DO
said to resemble. As the trunk OF
the tree is revoIved against the blade
n continuous sheet Of wood is pro.
duced OF any desired thickness The
wood is drawn out fiat from the rear
Of the machine onto table. The
sheet Of wood thus obtained is cut
transversely into pieces each Of the re-
quired length for one barrel. The
pieces arc then passed through
growing machine, which cuts
the groove in which the head ia
eventually fitted. Another machine
cuts V-shaped pieces at intervals out
Of the edges Of the pieces Of wood,
which are then easily bent round into
% cylinder and firmly hooped, tho
N-shaped slots enabling it to assume
the necessary ConicaI form at each
end. There is thus only one JOINT in

.wON.T SING AMERICA >,

Colored people all over the country
in conventions assembled are pledging
themselves not to sing America" be-
cause OF the alleged 0utrages recently
inflicted on some OF their race III the
South. The GLOBE is against Outrages,
and IS glad to see our cOlored citizens
asserting themselves and insisting on
their political aId social rights. The
way to get thing in these days is to
demand it, But 1t does not seem likely
that the world will be very deeply
moved by anybody's refusal to sing
"America." The average singer, wheth-
er he is white or colOred. sings badly,
and no one gets much pleasure out of
his performances except himself. A
law forbidding yocalism would be un-
popular. but hearty welcome awaits
any volunteers who are willing 10 cut
off their own resources in this direction.
There will always be tunefal warbler S
and whistlers enough to satisfy the gen
eral yearning for this sort of thing
Our colored citizens must not expect
outrages To stop because they stop sing
ing. Suppose, for example, somebody
should threaten never to sing or whistle
Wang" again, il any more murders
were committed in st. Paul. Would 1t
stay the assassin's hand? Not bit of
it. On the contrary, it is probable that
score Of dead men would be found in
various parts of the city as soon as the
news got about. Singing Is oyerdone
already.

CHINESE EXCLUSION.

The ease with which the Chinese ex-
cluSion Till passed the house is readily
accounted for. The Chinaman has no
vote. hence few friends. -Kansas City
Journal.
A Chinaman will need long reach
jimmy and many other Dnrglarous APP
pliances to get into the United States
wllan the new exclusion act goes into
eifect.-New York World.
| Whatever objections may reasonably
he taken to the admission of Chinese
lahOrerS. the exclusion of merchants
and students and other immigrants be-
longing to unobjectionable classes will
not. we feel sure, be approved by pub
lie opinion.-Boston Herald.
The ChineSes exclusion act is. on its
face, an unworthy bill. 1t is in direct
violation OF the solemn treaty obliga-
tons OF the United States. From the
standpoint Of common honesty and the
national integrity. therefore. it should
be defeated Boston Advertiser.
China is in mood to retaliate upon
this government, aNt American resi-
dents in Chinese cities are growing un-
easy. The 70 dish bill passed by the
house Monday, abrogating all treaties
and excluding Cinnamon from our
SHORES, VIII certainly not pass tHe sell
ate, but we have done enough to arouse
the dragon, and our interests in China
may as well be abandoned, -New York
Advertiser. r.
We have important commercial rela-
lions with China which this act puts in
jeopardy. If the house were blind TO
considerations of the national honor 1t
might have had some regard to the ma
terial interests of the nation. The prob
able response of China to the enactme emit
of this act would be the expulsion of
our merchants and missionaries and the
cessation of commerce and all friendly
intercourse with uS.-Boston Herald.
There is more straightforward way
TO the accomplishment Of Chinese eX :
cIusion. 1t is possible to cease treaty
relations with China altogether, or SO to
modify these relations as 10 leave each
nation free 10 admit or exclude the
citizens of the other. With such an I'M
derstandlng between the countries we
can pass the Geary bill or any other ex-
eluSiou measure and preserve our ma
tional seI-respect. which is more than
can b., done while the existing treaties
remain nominally in force. Springfield
