day of Alexander the Great, who,
when he was very thirsty and stand

brought TO him cup of water. He
looked off upon MS host and said, 81

thirsty" and he dashed il to the ground.

was cold and apparently lifeless.

SINCE writer's on hygiene have con-
WINGED the intelligent readers of this
country that nuts have much higher
value, when their nutriive qualities
arc considered than have the apple,
peach and pear, and the attention Of
agricultural authorities has been
drawn to the subject, it has been
found that Americas demand for nuts
Is largely supplied by foreign growers,
that the great bnlk OF nuts consumed
here are imported. when nearly every

turns for 1850. II his table DO truc, 1T
Is OF very great value and Of tho highest
importance now whom manufacturers
arc trying to discover how thoy may
stand up against foreign competition
under tho Wilson bill.
Mr.. Richardson declares that tho
labor cost in wooden manufacture ia Is
por cent, in leather pOr cent, in cloth
ing 81 por cent, in iron and steel IS per
cent. Ho does not give tho labor cost
in producing glass and quoonswarc, but
doubtless he can give it with equal
facility and in equally encouraging
figures.
Mr.. Richardson uniolds for himself q
golden, even corruscating, opportunity.
II, for example, no can convince capital
that ho knows how to produce iron and
stcel Of which tho labor cost shall DO
less than onc.fltth OF tho total cost of
production, he can lay up such treas.
ures ms avarice never dreamed Of. It will
be tho same il he prefer to embark in
any other branch OF manufacture on
which no happens to have q similar
cinch.
Mr.. Richardson need go no further
than tho iron ore minca OF his own state

cratic times. Ho has found the pnilos-
