THE TOMATO PACK.

The tomato pack of 1883 was
2,943, $40 cases OF two dozen cans
each. In 1885 it fell back to
1,434,O06 cases, but in the year
following it amounted to 2,363, ,76O
cases. In 1888 it passed the three
million mark, the pack for that
year having been 3,543,137. The
average pack for the nine years,
lSS1-1S9l, has been 2,765,446.
The average for the three years,
1SS9-'92 inclusive, has been 1885,
769. Thus has great industry
been built up within recent Pc
riod. Like the salmon trade. to-
mato packing met with difficulties,
but it surmounted them by energy
and pluck.
The consumer as we'll as the
packer has been benifited by this

from 95 cents to $l.1O, while last
year the highest and lowest prices
were 95 and so cents per dozen.

attracted more comment than the

THE CHOLERA.

Much contradictory information
concerning the cholera is publish
ed. The cholera spreads by beinj
scattered with the intestinal dis
charges, contaminating waite
courses, rivers, streams, and wells
defiling the linen and bed clothing
and contriying in an infinite mum
ber of ways to enter the human
system again by means OF food
and drink. The germs are moi
disseminated through the atnos
phere. They are not blown by the
winds from one place to another
They follow the lines of travel and
commerce. They are propagated
by individuals. The discharges OF
infected persons are the centers
from which contagion radiates.
The gastric juice of a healthy
human stomach destroys the bacil-
lus. Among the victims of the
cholera are chiefly those whose
general health is impaired, or who
suffer from disorders of the stom-
ach, such as dyspepsia and gastric
catarrh. With a digestive appa
ratus in good condition, plenty of
exercise in the open air, and care
ful selection of ones food and
drink, a healthy person will escape
the cholera.
Cholerine is Asiatic cholera; it
is only name given to type of
the disease which is of medium Sc

the cholera the New York Sun
says:

was sent by the German govern
ment in 1883 to India to investi-
gate the cholera epidemic there.
In the intestines of all who died
from this disease he found a micro
organism of peculiar shape curved
and bent like a comma, and to
this was given the name of COM
ma bacillus. The comma bacillus
has never been observed, except
n the victims of cholera. Addi-
ional proof of its being the cause {

experiments, undertaken not only /
~ Koch, but also by Rietsch and |
Sicati, who produced cholera in

ines.

The rapid Increase Of trade schools.
1t was but a comparatively short
time ago that there were almost
no schools of this kind in the
''c)untry, hut they are now to be
found in every section of the Union
and in one form or another the
training they aim at is being given
in every city of Importance. In
the cities of New York, Chicago,
Philadelphia, Brooklyn and Bos-
ton fine trade schools have been

mechanical training has been made
part of the education given in
normal schools and agricultural
colleges. In addition to this state
or municipal extension of trade
schools, there has also been a large
and generous contribution made
to them by some of the richer
men of the country, the most not
able of which was the gift last
winter of 100000 to the trade
schools of New York City by J.I
Pierrepont Morgan.
Rapid as this extension ofl
schools for mechanical training
has been, however, it is felt that
there is great demand for more
of them. The old apprentice sys-
tenn by which boys learned to be
mechanics is gone forever. and the
labor unions in many of the larger
cities of the country have shut
out very large proportion of boys
who want this education. The
American youth, therefore, who is
brought up in one Of our greater

earning a mechanics trade unless

there goes up a wall that the
country is ruined. Men of fair in
telligence denounce commerce as
a fraud, politics as robbery and So
ciety itself as organized hypocracy.
Strike follows strike in the indus
trial world, and every combina-
ton for mutual advantage and
benefit is condemned by vocifer-
Gus orators or fluent writer's as
schemes to fleece the people. while
every promoter of public enter
prise has to confront a ceaseless
vllllfication and every undertaking
he engages in is scofed at as a
"job."
Under these circumstances it is
not to be wondered at that social
philosophers are perpIexed and
cannot agree among themselves as
to the outcome of it all. Some

The Bow in War.

The bow as used by Asiatic horsemen as
sumes curious shape. They were made
of horn--generally buffalo horn-in two
pieces, Joined by wooden center and
when unstrung had the form of capital
C. which enabled them 10 be hung over the
arm ON horseback. When strung-a diffi-
cult feat TO those unused to them-they
took the double curve of the antique bow
az seen In the representation of Cupid.
This was the "Tartar's bow" used by the
Scythians. Parthians and Persians, and up
to quito recent times in India. 1t was
drawn by the thumb alone, on which the
archer wore a broad, thick ring of horn,
ivory, or comedian, on whose edge the bow
string rested.
The long bow was also much in use
among Indian infantry Of the Middle Ages;
but neither they nor any other Asiatlcs APP
near 70 have done such execution as the
English archers of the same period. Bernier
says, describing battle between Aurung-
zebe and his brother Dara, They draw
their arrows with marvellous swiftness,
one man being able TO draw six OF them
before a musketeer can discharge twice.
but, TO say truth, their arrows do but ht'
tie execution; more Of them are lost In the
air or broken on the ground than hit"
The bow, in fact, requires more than any
other weapon constant practice from child
hood; and strong Englishmen OF the pres
emit day are quite unable to use the bows
of the half human Mincopies OF the An
damans.- Chambers Journal.
