A HUMAN HIVE.

A Place Where Most of Our Jewe1ry
Is Made.
Providence, r. l.. has the largest sill
verware factory in the world, the larg-
est screw factory, the largest manu-
factory for small tools and the largest
file works. Perhaps it is especially
unique in producing more jewelry than
any other city in the United States,
says the Nashville American. and near
ly as much as all the rest of the coun-
try combined. There is no city which
possesses SO many separate and dis
tinct shops for the manufacture of a
single commodity as Providence does
for the manufacture of jewelry. There
are at least 250 separate factories de-
voted to the making of gold, silver.
rolled plated, electroplated and brass
jewelry and novelties. In addition, the
auxiliary Industries for furnishing sup
plies of special labor to the jewelry fac
tories number more than seventy-five.
Many of the jewelry shops are small.
employing only ten or dozen hands,
while some employ as high as 300. and
in one case 1,40O. BY the State census
of 1895 the capital invested in this in
dustry in Providence is $12.OOO,OOO;
average number of hands employed,
1000; annual wages paid, $500, 900;

Pigeons as a Naval Force.

A number of pigeons are now official
ly recognized by the British Admiralty
and form part of the naval force, states
a writer in the New Penny Magazine.
Whale Island at Portsmouth is the
headquarters Of the homing pigeons
belonging to the navy.the birthplace
of the birds supplied by other lofts at
Devonport, Malta and Hong Kong.
This particular feature of the Royal
Naval Barracks was introduced in
1893 at the instigation of Capt. Login,
who was then the commanding officer,
and has been developed and brought to
its present state of efficiency by that
gentleman's successor, Capt. Bayly.
The cost Of keeping the birds-about
f2 per month-was betrayed by the
officers and men. The pigeons are
used, of course, for the conveyance of
messages, of which several thousand
have been received since the establish
ment of the loft. There is electric COM
munication between the huge cote and
the buildings, SO that when a bird en-
ters it's domicile 1t causes bell to ring,
and so announces its arrival Many Of
the missives brought by the pigeons
have been of great importance, and
have been telegraphed to the Admiral
ty. Some of the birds, too, have done
excellent performances. The flight
from Jersey has often been made in
two hours; but the record" at least
for distance, is from a ship off the
Eddystone, 1s2 miles away-a big "fy"
that was accomplished in three and a
half hours.

Physie str.et. Canton. china.

Canton possesses the queerest street
in the world, in spite of the fact that
in nearly all the big towns in China
there are some remarkable streets. The
chief thing of interest attaching to this
eccentric thoroughfare is the fact that
it is rooted in with glazed paper fast
ened on bamboo and contains more
signboards to the square foot than any
other street in any other country. The
next interesting fact about this Cam
ton byway is that, though business
street, it contains no other shops but
those of apothecaries and dentists par
lors; no professional men but doctors.
1t is a sick mans paradise and Chi
nese physician's Klondike. They call
it Physic street, which is descriptive if
not picturesque

CONAN povIe.s MarrIa.e Ma.Ims.


In his latest novel, "a Duet, /" Conan
Doyle lays down some sMaxims for the
Married" that are worth framing and
hanging over the mantle piece in every
new home. Here are few of them:
Never both be cross at the same time.
Wait your turn.
You were gentleman and lady before
you were husband and wife. Don't
forget it. A blind love is foolish
love. Encourage the best.
If you take liberties be prepared to
give them. There is only one thing
worse than quarrels in public. That is
caresses.
Money is not essential to happiness,
but happy people usually have enough.
So save some. y
The easiest way of saving is to do
without things.
If you can't, then you had better do
without wife.
The man who respects his wife does
not turn her into mendicant. Give
her purse of her OWN Washington

tended and multiply factories will be
established in each neighborhood for
the larger manufacture of commercial
tea, whittier the products of the gar
dens surrounding may be brought and
sold. precisely as canning factories and
dairies consume the surplus production
of fruit and milk.
One feature in the cultivation of tea
has only to be stated to appeal to every
one who plants, namely, that the season
for gathering the leaf lasts in this eli
mate for six months. Thus crop is
not dependent for at least partial sue
cess upon the weather Of any one or
two months, as is so apt to be the case
with most of the objects Of the hus-
bandman's labor. and solicitude.
For the present it will be wiser to
limit the production Of tea in the South
to the better grades. such as retail at
from so cents to 81 per pound. The
greater cost of unskilled labor In this
country than in the Orient should con-
stitute a smaller fraction of the total
expense If the product commands a

higher price. Other things being equal,
the quality of any tea depends on the
"fneness" Of the leaf plucked. If only
the tiny, tender, youngest leaf be pick
ed. the quantity Of the crop must be
comparatively small; but it's quality
will be decidedly superior to that OBJ
tained by coarse" plucking. which also
embraces the older, larger and neces-
sarily tougher leaves.
Problem of Cheap Labor.
Leaf-plucking demands the careful
attention of the tea grower. 1t is
light employment, suitable for women
and children, but they must be taught
patiently and their work must be scru-
tinized strictly. At Pinehurst colored
children do the picking. and very satis-
factorily. A free school Is maintained
for them; every pupil of suitable age
and size is required to pick; others are
excluded from the gardens. Regular

Treatine Consumption,

A new remedy for tuberculosis, de-
veloped in France, has been reported
to the state department. by United
States Commercial Agent Atwell at
Roubaix. 1t is a treatment called to
the attention of the Academy of Medi-
cine by DIR. MendeI, and consists OF
the daily injection into the bronchial
tubes of essence of eucalyptus, thyme,
and cinnamon, held in solution in
olive oil. The oil in descending, slow
" comes into contact with the walls
of the tube and upper lung. The gas
set free saturates the air in the lungs
and acts on the mucous membrane. In
16 cases treated, after one Or two
weeks, there was in all a lessening or
com plete cessation of the cough and
expectoration, as we'll as a return of
sleep, appetite and strength.-San

Fiftx Ya.rs n Pan.ioner.

A typical instance of the effect Of q
pension on longevity comes from Luz
ton, where the death has occurred of q
man in his 80th year, who enjoyed for
over half a century an annual allow
ance from the war office. He was born
in 1918, in Canada, where his father
was soldier, and at the age of be-
came drummer boy, subsequently
blossoming into full-blown private
of foot regiment. He never did any
fighting, and retired at the age of 80,
with pension, on account of ILL
health. A few years later he joined
the Bedford constabulary, and attained
to the rank of sergeant, subsequently
becoming an instructor of fife-and-drum
bands, and holding the post of drum
major in the Luton volunteers.

Some years ago few far-seeing men
of the Southern States looked far
enough ahead to see that cotton would
not always be king, and opened to dis
cussion the problem of raising tea. At
that time cotton was king, and there
was no denying it, so the effort to ere
ate an interest in tea raising proved
abortive. In less than fifteen years
came a great war in which the South
was swept clean as by hurricane.
One result of the war, minor perhaps,
besides some of the other results, was
that cotton was dethroned. Into the
new South was introduced other forms
of agriculture, and not only that, but
manufactures which the South hereto
fore had despised with pride In Its
splendid isolation"
And now, a generation after the war
has closed, after King Cotton has been
deposed, Southerners themselves have
taken up the culture of tea in earnest,
bound to make it contribute to the gen.
eral prosperity of that section of the
country. A leader among these leaders
is Prof. Charles q. Shepard, Of Pine
hurst, Summerville, 8. c., and in pub
hcation of the agricultural department
in Washington he tells of the success
of his experiment.
Since he has made a profit of 25 per
cent. on his venture the undertaking Is
entitled to be taken out of the class of
experiments and put in with the solid
accomplishments that will endure. 1t
is seven years since he first reported
on the operations on the Pinehurst es-
tate. He says that it seems probable
from the facts so far gathered that the
cultivation of tea can be made profit
able in the warmer portions Of the
United States in two ways. One is by
establishing plantation on the scale
of the experiment at Summerville with
capital sufficient to carry the work to a
point where the product can be offered
on equal terms with teas holding an es-
tablished place in the markets of the
United States. The other is to grow
tea for home use in the farm garden.
In either case tea growing can be un-
dertaken safely only where the tenn
perature rarely goes lower than 25 de-

secured. But, otherwise, there would
be no difficulty in securing an ample
force, as the wages earned prove in
themselves a sufficient attraction. The
older children earn from 80 to so cents
day; the younger one in proportion.
The tea gardens are picked twenty
times season, or once every ten days.
and it takes three days for the average
force Of twenty children to make the
round of the gardens. The more in
dustrious and skillful pick from ten to
twenty pounds of fresh leaf day. 1t
