Snag- Boats on the mississippi.

When one OF these boats in patrolling
the river comes across a snag that pro-
jects above the surface OF the water it
drops down stream and approaches it
from below and steers carefully up to it
until the snag is between the two bows
of the boat. Then chain is made fast
to the snag and attached to the power
full derricks that the boat is equipped
with and the snag is jerked bodily from
the bottom of the river and pulled up till
it rests against what is called the butting
beam, and then huge saw is called into
service and the snag is sawed up into
small pieces and dumped into the river to
float down harmlessly like a snake de-
prived of its fangs, and no longer terror
to navigation. In the upper Mississippi
around st. Louis the snags are compare
lively small size, but down below Men,
phis huge cypress tress, with their inn
mense buttresses over six feet through at
the base, have to be dealt with, and it
takes all the power of the great engines
with which these boats are equipped to
drag the monsters from their Judgement
in the close clinging river mud. From
early in July till the river closes up with
ice in the winter the boats patrol up and
down the river, watching for impedi-
ments to navigation.
The snag-boats do not deal with snags
alone, but it is large part of their work
to watch the river banks closely for trees
that are in danger OF falling into the
river and becoming snags. q When one is
seen the boat is run up to the bank and
made fast, and crew of men with saws is

Railway TRANSPORTATION Rates.

The rates charged for transportation
OF passengers by rail are being criticised
and questioned in many quarters of the
country, says Chicago paper. This
has been stimulated by the fact that the
government roads Of Austria-Hungary
in 1889 reduced rates OF fare from one
half to one-sixth, and yet the traffic so
greatly increased that the gain in receipts
was over $4,000, 900 in two years. AS
text Professor Parsons used these facts
for an article in the Arena which is of
Importance. He cites the case of many
eastern railroads that sell season tickets
at little more than halt a cent mile,
and declares that they would not do so
iii was not fact that that sum more
than covered the cost Of transportation.
He says that some companies, which he
names, sell communication tickets at
seven-tenths OF cent mile, and admit
profit of so per cent. in the business.
| Professor Parsons estimates that the
average cost OF moving passenger train
is 80 cents mile, or about IL cents a
car, as is shown by the railway reports.
"A moderate train of ordinary coaches
will carry 400 to 600 persons, so that
with well.flled trains the cost IS not
more than 9th of cent passenger a
mile. All the expenses of railway traffic
are taken into account in figuring the 80.
cent cost per train mile" Under govern
ment ownership he claims that these
expenses will be reduced at least a third,
the cost per train mile will fall to 60
cents, and the cost of carrying a passeil-
ger one mile in full train will be is OF
a cent In applying these alleged facts,
Professor Parsons says: Excursion
trains can be run now from New York to
Philadelphia at cost not exceeding
$500, including the pro rata train share
Of waste and corruption incident to the
present railway system. That is, the
railway could (under public ownership
take 600 people on one train from Phila
delphia to Chicago for 81 each, and
bring them back for another 81 each
and cover all expenses, labor, wear ano
tear, rebates, lobby fees and all pro rata
Two dollars for single trip. and 81 fol

ownership of railroads, and in supper
OF his conclusions he says that the Ger

of blossoms a season. So there must be
at least five hundred thousand stalks to
yield the million Kilograms required.
But the gathering of the blossoms is
only the beginning Of the work, for then
the flowers must be picked apart and
all the spoiled leaves thrown aside.
Then the making of the perfume begins.
The leaves are spread one by one
upon layers of pure lard that cover
plates Of glass. Three or four times
these fower-layers are renewed before
the lard has absorbed all of the perfume
that it can hold, for the fat has pecu-
liar attraction for the oils ofthe flowers.
This perfumed lard, is the pomade OF
commerce, not the pomade used for hair
or beard, but the crude material out of
which this is afterwards manufactured.
The lard is then either shipped as it is to
other manufacturers, or but into alcohol
which draws off the perfume from the
fat, having stronger attraction there
Tor than the lard, and the result is the
finest eau de cologne. Most of this po-
made is shipped as it stands to all parts
OF Europe and America, but some Of it
is reserved and the oils are extracted by
distilIing processes, making the purest
extracts New York Sun.

Picking Billions of Flowers.

Grasse, in the suthern part Of France,
is the centre of the perfume industry.
There women and girls may pc seen,
with broad hats on their heads, gather
ing flowers from until IL a. m. and
then returning with their fragrant bur-
dens to the houses, where they pluck the
leaves from the blossoms and pass the
rest OF the day in preparing them for the
work of extracting the essences OF essen
tial oils, which contains the perfume
itself.
In March they begin plucking violets,
from which violet water is made, and
from the beginning Of May to the
end of June they gather jassamine, roses,
and orange blossoms, as well as the tube
roses in July, the mignonette in August
and the cassia in September. The nim-
BILE fingers of the women must move
rapidly to pluck the millions and billions
of leaves that 60 to make up the 1.500,-
900 kilograms OF rose leaves alone that
are used each season. Besides there are
a million Kilograms of jassemine to be
plucked, and violets and orange bios.
SONS to the extent of two million kilo
grams a year. To give an idea Of the
number of plants that are raised for this
huge result, it is calculated that each
stalk ofjassamine yields two kilogram:

PRICES MAINTAIN STRENGTH
But Unreasonable We Their Has Caused Failing
OFF In Retail Trade.

A quietng down of distributive trade.
more particularly at retail, Is reported,
growing out Of the unseasonably warm
weather now being experienced in most
sections CT the country, Reflection Of
this IL found in less urgent orders re-
ceved by jobbers, and in somewhat i'm
paired collections at many points. AS
regards prices, however there is no
appreciable loss Of strength, the great
majority Of quotations remaining steady
and among those making changes ad-
Vances are still most numerous.
That the general business of the coun-
try remains at an unprecedented vol
ume Is testified to by the heavy gains
noted in bank clearlngs over a year ago,
and by the immense increases in railway
earnings over exceptionally good re-
current activity in transportation, 1t
may be said that east-bound traffic
from Chicago in the past month has more
than doubled that reported in the same
period a year ago, and nearly twice
as large as that reported in October of
1892, record period of good trade.
simultaneously with the drop in
freight rates this week has come a
hardening of quotations for cereals Re-
ceipts Of corn are smaller than were eX-
pected, and this has resulted in an ad-
vance at time when advances owing
to the enlarging crop movement, are
rarely looked for. Wheat has been
alphabetically strong, as have other
cereals, and wheat flour has been ad-
vanced this week.
Among leading products decreasing in
price, tin and copper among the metals
have been most notable.
Cotton Is fractionally lower, as the re-
suit OF the deadlock between foreign
consumers and American producers
The situation of cotton goods, one Of
aggressive strength, is undoubtedly 6
supporting feature Of no small account
The strength of wool Is natural, II
view of the very large sales, most o.
which are claimed to have been for &C
count Of manufacturers, though specu
lative buying is perceptible. In wooler
goods demand is favorable, and furthel
advances are predicted.
Lumber is again very firm, as are alst
hides and leather, in sympathy with re-
cent advances in boots and shoes.
The situation of iron and steel is, per
haps the most notable one yet presented
The feature of the market is the reported
booking by the steel rail mills of thu
country of nearly rs percent of thei
capacity for next years delivery. Heav,
buying of pig iron. undoubtedly to cove
some of these rail sales is reported II
the central west, at prices little belov
those ruling for some time past.
Demand for hardware is active a
nearly all markets. The scarcity o
supplies Is still feature, and jobber
are pushed for prompt shipments. Com
plant that high prices are injuring GU
export trade Is heard.

When snag is so deep sunk in the bed

the ripple above it gives warning, and
many river boat has been saved from

snag is on the surface. The boat is ran
