better working condition under the
influence of his new menu than be-
fore. At first he naturally felt hun
cry an hour or two after eating, but
after a fortnight the flesh craving
passed away, and now he not only
cats at the same hours as before, but
consumes much less food. The ad-
vantages of the system are described
by him as most remarkable. His
mind is clearer, and he feels more
disposed for work. He is no longer
sleepy after meals, his brain is fresh
er, his limbs more elastic, and, more
astonishing still, he can stand more
fatigue. Formerly he felt the need
OF stimulants, and now he has done
away with such things. He does not
smoke, and he is cndeavoring to di-
minish his coffee supply. Alto
gether he is enthusiastic. At first
it is rather like self-denial, but one
gets to like it in timc,-Chicago

Where the Nickel Comes From.

In the Copper Cliff mine, near Sud-
bury, Canada, it is said more nickel is
being produced than the entire market
Of tho world calls for at current prices.
A little branch off the main line of the
Canadian Pacific railway, four miles in
length, leads out to the mine, which
opens into the face of a crag of the brown,
oXidized Laurentian rock, characteristic
of this region. The miners arc now at
work at depth of about 300 feet below
tho surface. AS fast as tho nickel and
copper bearing rock is hoisted out, it is
broken up and piled upon long beds, or
ricks, of pine wood, to be calcincd or
roasted, for the purpose of driving out
the sulphur which it contains. The roast
ing process is Of the nature of lime kiln
ing or charcoal burning. Each great bed
of ore requires from one to two months
to roast. When roasted the rock goes to
the principal smeltcr, n powerful blast
furnace "jackcted"-in mining phrase
with running water, to enable it to sus-
tain the great heat requisite to reduce
the crude, obduratc mineral to fluidity.
The dross of the molten mass is first
allowed TO flow off, and aftcrward the
nearly pure nickel and copper, blended
together in an alloy called the "mat," or
matte, is drawn off ut the base of the
furnace into the barrow pots and wheeled
away, still liquid and fiery hot, to cool
in the yard of the smelter. The mat con-
tains about 20 per cent. of nickel, the re-
naming 80 per cent. being mainly cop
per. When cold, the conical pot loaves
of mat can easily DC cracked in pieces
by means Of heavy hammers The frag-
mcnts are then packed in barrels and
shipped to Swansea, in Wales, and to
Germany, where the two constituent
metals are separated and refined by secret
processes, which are very jealousy
guarded by the manufacturers.
So jealousy is the secret kept that no
one in America has yet been able to learn
the process, although one young metal
lurgist spent three years in Swansea as a
common laborcr in the factories in order
to obtain it. At present there are pro-
duccd daily at the Copper Cliff mine
about ninety pot loavcs Of mat, each
weighing near 45O pounds, an output
which yields an aggregate of more than
1000 tons of nickel year.-Manufac-

Immigration TO the United States.

Under Mr.. Worthington G. Ford
rs its chief the Bureau of Statistics
is doing the most interesting and i'm
portant work of its history. With
the July report of imports and ex-
ports is presented q graphic table of
immigration for the last ten years.
In that time Germany has been
easily first. From no other country
have nearly SO many Immigrants
come except once, in 1888, when
103,G92 persons came from England,
Scotland and Wales. In that year
1O9,717 German immigrants landed
in this country. In the next year
the immigration was as follows:
Germany ...."".................. .... % 03S
England, &c....-... .....".S7 ,992
The sources of our new foreign
population change from time to time.
There was u wcll-known period be-
ginning before the middle of the
century, and following the great
famine, when the bulk of the immi-
grafton was from Ireland. That
period has long since passed and not
only is the Irish immigration cx-
cceded by the German but also by
that of a number of other countries.
In 1885, 1886 and 1887 it was ex-
cceded by the immigration from
England, Scotland and Wales. In
1888 it was also less than that from
Denmark, Sweden and Norway. In
1891 it was exceeded also by that of
Russia and Poland and Italy. In
the fiscal year 1894 these countries
were all ahead of Ireland except the
Scandinavians, whose immigrants
numbered about 900 fewer than the
Irish immigrants.
1t is interesting to note that the
Irish and the Germans come here for
homes and bring their families with
them. In 1893 the Irish women
immigrants outnumbered the men by
about l, 800, indicating that domestic
service in this country has more at
fractions to the peasant girls than
day labor has for unmarried Irish
men. Of the 95. 5.3G1 Germans who
came to this country in that year
4,394 were men and II ,9G7 were
womcn-a large proportion. 1t is
clear that the Italians, Iungarians
and Bohemians come here for the
purpose of making as much as posi-
bic by their labor and then returning
to their native countries. The i'm
migration from these last and the
other countries was divided between
the sexes as follows:

Assuming that the immigration of
women indicates permanent move
mcnt and that those who come here
with their families intend to abide in
the country and to become Am, ,rican
citizens, the people of the different
countries may be arranged as to their
permancncc in the following order 4:
l, Ireland; ,, Germany; 3,
Scandinavia; +, England, Scotland
and Wales ; ., Russia and Poland ;
6, Austria, including hungary and
Bohemia I, Italy. In other words
the people whom we consider least
desirable and most dangerous to our
institutions arc evidently least in
clincd to make their homes in this
country and become permanent addi-
tions to our population,
AS is well known, immigration was
much lighter in 1894 than it had
been in any previous year for a long
time. In 1891 it was $50, ,319; in
1892, G23, ,0S4; in 1893, 502,917 ;
in 1894 it was only 81, ,4O4. The
falling of was by far the greatest in
the Slav immigration. The decrease
in the number arriving from Russia
and Poland alone was from III ,692
in 1892 to 80, 9,124.-N. Y. World.

COTTON LETTER
Furnished by c P. pyaI & Co. Brokers
 and oommisson Merchants.

PINE BLUFF, Dee. 15.-The reflex
 action of the New York advance
 was seen in the rise i'll Liverpool this morning and primarily was dueto the December in receipts for the week at interior towns as reported last night.
 New York responded this morning
 to the advance in Liverpool, partly
 owing to buying by New Orleans,
 and prices ran up , to 9 points. Then
 the rise was lost owing to increased receipts at some of the interior towns and the announcement that by a
 correction 10000 bales have been
 added to the stock at Little Rock. If the market went up yesterday on decreased interior receipts it was logical that it should go down to- day on increased interior receipts. Private dispatches received early in
 the session said that Houston re- ceipts today would be double those of thesame day last year. The official figure for Houston proved to be 16,- 175 against receipts this day last year of ! ,196. So the case was worse than had been supposed. Memphis receipts were over-reached 4,60S against ,, 13S last year. New Orleans dispatches estimate the receipts at the ports this week at 315, ,000 Bruns- wick is expected to get about I4,000; Velasco, 5000, and Port Royal 10,- 000 We hear that some of the riv CTS | tributary to the Mississippi are rs- l ing, and this would be apt to cause 1 larger receipts The close at New York was steady at net decline of | point with sales SS,300. New Orleans advanced points but lost this and declined points. Liverpool ad- vanced 1-32 on the spot with sales of 1 z ,000. Futures were points higher and closed firm. It remains to be seen what Liverpool will say on
 Monday to the increased interior
 receipts reported today The Chron. icle states that excellent progress has
 been made during the past week in
 marketing, and picking generally is drawing to a close. Rain has fallen during the week in almost all sec
 tions of the South, and i'll some local I ities the precipitation has been heavy

coast OF South America, and a num-
Der of the officers and crew were
stricken with this dread disease.
Lieutenant w. b. Green. q brave,
handsome young fellow, was taken
with the fever in its most violent
form. He felt that he was going to
die, and one afternoon called me
to him and asked me to
please bury him on land, if possible.
as he dreaded to be cast into the
ocean. That night the poor fellow
died. In the middle OF the night his
body was placed in one OF the boats,
and l. together with four OF the sail
ors, set out for shore, about two
miles distant. Arriving on the beach,
the diggers went silently to work
and soon had grave scooped out in
the sand, into which the body. wrap
ped in the British flag was reverently
lowered. There was not a dry eye
among the men as they proceeded to
fill up the grave, and, after l had
murmured q short prayer, we returned
to the boat and silently pulled back
to the ship.
