cargo of pulp to England. He has never
taken such cargo before, and had never
seen any American pulp. He naturally
thinks that the pulp that Norway supplies
to England is better than our pulp. He
says that Norway sends the dried pulp to
England, and that the English won't take
anything else from there. though they take
the wet pulp from US. He couldn't say why
this is, but felt sure that Norwegian pulp is
much better than ours, and that it is with
difficulty that ours is sold after it reaches
England. He didn't know, evidently, that
it is generally understood here that our in
creasing sale of pulp is due to the fact that
it is whittier and better, and that some of
ours happened to be taken wet there by &C.

a recent experiment of Drs. Sawtschenko

the heroic. They vaccinated themselves
with a preparation made from cultures of

swallowed virulent cholera germs with
entire impunity. Then with serum from
their own blood, they inoculated guinea
pigs, and found that those animals could
thus be protected against cholera.

DEOORATIVE WIVES,

Men marry from different motives. Most
of them, doubtles, from affection, from
affinity, from desire to increase their COM
fort or content Others again are impelled
to matrimony rather by external than by
internal considerations. Among these are
men of copious means, to whom home sig
nifies a handsome complete establishment,
and wife a superb, harmonious figure to
preside over it. They set out therefore, on
their quest in calm mood, with definite aim,
little liable to be turned aside from their
one purpose. As they are clear headed,
energetic practical, not easily discouraged
or frustrated, they Invariably succeed.
The woman they have secured has instinct
and perception enough to know for what she
is wanted, however much the chief want
NAV have been concealed. The implied con-
tract between her husband and herself is
that he will furnish all that is needed to
make his home luxurious, elegant, material
ly attractive and she is to be its social high
priestess. And the contract is usually we'll
carried out. For with large income this
is not difficult.
The pair are for the most part admirably
and mutually adapted. He is socially am
bilious; so is she. They supplement- one
another excellently. What he wishes she
can fully and most becomingly execute. She
entirely understands what he can only sug-
gest. Her sixth and seventh senses, which
ment, her subtle insight, are invaluable.
They yield a usurious though intangible in
terest on every dollor Of his many invest
ments They enrich him where he is most
eager to De rich, far beyond the accumula-
tion of his millions, and he is SO grateful that
at times he almost loves her.-HaTpers

Extraordinary Juggiery With Their
Finance BY the Osborn Mills.

Finance BY the Osborn Mills.
FALL RIVER, Mass, April 26, 1s94.-The
annual statement of the Osborn Mills made
yesterday is attracting unusual attention be-
cause of the contention of the manufactur-
ers that they must cut wages in order to
make money enough to keep their plants in
operation, and in view of the recent confer
ences on the question of cutting wages.
The Osborn, according to the statement,
earned during the last twelve months Sl44,-
900 on a capital of $500, ,000-just twenty -four
per cent. Stockholders were paid six per
CENTS, 900; on her machinery there was
spent 41,000-a little less than seven per
cent, and $50, 200 went into the surplus fund
During the last quarter the Osborn made
$50, 900, or five per cent.
The Osborn is one of the mills which man
ufactures fine goods, and the existence OF the
factory, it has been stated. is threatened
by the Wilson bill.
The claim has been made that mills which
have declared dividends during the last
quarter took the money from the surplus
funds. The statement proves that the Os-
born is not one of these. The Osborn paid
seven per cent. for 1892, and six per cent.
for 1891, and its average for the five years
ending with 1892 was $40 per cent.
