Sunday Closing at the Big Fair.

From the New York Herald.
 It's amazing what lot Of mischief is done in this world by persons with the best intentions.
 The good people who want to close the Buffalo Exposition on Sundays, having failed to gain their way by moral suasion, now seek 10 remove the police commissioners of the city for consenting to dissertation of the Sabbath" by permitting the men en. gagged on the groulIde to attend to their business on Sunday.
 It would he quite as reasonable to close the churches because the care takers and men who look after the fur naces must be in attendance on Sun day. In the twentieth century it should be needless to eXpatiate on the moral effects of opening libraries, museums, eXposltions, or other educa. tional institutions to the people on Sunday.
 That well-to.d persons who can visit the exposition six days in tbe week should seek to close it on the only day that is available to the work. ing masses, and thus virtually exclude them altogether, is piece of gross in' justice.

silver dollars were transferred from the mint to the post office building. The cost of carting the load from the mint to the post once was 25 cents per |l .U00. exclusive of the pay of the .aoorers em- ployed in handling it.
 In imitation of the celebrated strat- sgy of the French general, whose cam pGign consisted of marching up hill and then down again the succeeding superintendent, Col. BosUy shell, carled
 the silver dollars from the post office back to the mint, duplicating the cost
 Then Eugene Townsend became su- perntendent, and the process of trans terring ..he silver from his predecessor to himself, the hand-counting of the whole mass being involved, again cost
 the government over S30,0O0,
 When Herman kretz succeeded Dr.
 Townsend the transfer was made with out extra cost to the government, tho
 usual force al the mint being employed
 in the task of counting on this econom
 teal occasion, but system of packing
 the silver dollars in boxes was intro
 duced at cost of five cents per box, and this cost the government about
 S1,5OO.
 The transfer of the silver from Mir. kreN to Harry K. Boyer, the present superintendent, cost the government,
 as before, over $3O,0OO. Silver dollars to the amount of S2l 100000 were taken
 again to the post office building for storage. This labor was completed only about three weeks ago, and now the whole bulk of silver is being ra- carted tn the new mint al the regula- ton price demanded by the express company of 25 cents per Sl eco. with the | additional cost of five cents per box containing ST GOO and the laborers' pay.
 The details involved in all this nov ing and counting are intricate in the extreme. Superintendent Royer's count. recently completed was rem dcred as eXpeditiously as possible. yet | it took a year or more to complete it, | The transfer required the service of l5 extra men daily at three dollars d day | each. or Sl5 day for year. In addi.
 ton tO all this some l2 or ls men have | to be employed day and night to watch | the hOarded mass

MARKETING SILVER.
a New Method Adopted Which il is Alleged,
 Will Benefit the Producer.
From the Western Mining World


 From the Western Mining World
 According to advices the American Smeiting x Refining company has adopted new method of marketing it's silver products. The manner in which its output will be handled is de- scribed in an interview with Simon Guggenheim this week in which be sald: '',The owners of silver mines will be pleased to know that the smelting syndicate has taken q new attitude toward the silver market of the world. We came to the conclu- sion that the silver product has not been properly handled to obtain the best results, Everything was sold through the British brokers, and the smelters had to take what they could get for their products. Hereafter we shall sell direct to the consumer. This will mean the establishing of banks III China, India, Japan and other silver using countries, and will mean also an advance in the price of silver We shall be compelled, of course, to hoard great deal of silver, but the new method will benefit all concerned. We have agreed with several miners to share with them, they taking two thirds and we one-third of the excess over 65 cents an ounce, instead of raising the treatment price on silver ores to the point at which it stood when silver was higher, and which we reduced in order to allow silver min ing to continue. It has been GUS tomary fer years for owners of large mines in Utah and other parts of the west to eater into three-year and flVe- year contracts with the smelters. Such contracts are of distinct advantage to the miners, because it is evidence that the smelling company has confidence | in the permanency of the mine, and that it will not raise the sm8lting charges in the term of the contract. The purpose of the American Smelt- ing X Refining company is to build up the mining industry and to on courage the development of mines. Our treatment charges will be such that many low grade properties will be developed. It is likely that we shall spend something like s3,OO0, 900 improving the plant so that low grade ores may be handled. The company has guaranteed to the miners price of cents pound for lead ores. This has stimulated the output, but it has been burden to the smelting com. pany, as a great deal of money has been lost by the company in selling lead to foreign markets at less than the guaranteed price This guarantee is therefore hardship to the Amer lcan Smeting company, bat the com | pany will maKe no complaint, as it will keep its pledges"

NO INK IS NEEDED.
A New English Process for Reproduce Ing Pictures froI~ Artists
 Copy.

An English company has been formed to print without the use of ink in any form, by simply bringing the plate into contact with chemically ly-dampened pa per linen. silk wool or other fabric. and obtaining good, clear impression of any desired density. The operation, says the Philadelphia Record, is &s quick and more simple than letter press printing and the work resembles in clearness and delicacy a copperpiute or lithu engraving. Ordinary printers type blocks. forms, stereotypes and electrotypes may be used as printing surface and drawings, etc, requiring special blocks or eiectros, Photographic work or cOpperplate engraving can be done at great saving. Original sketches, scrolls or fancy lettering can be made upon the transparency or traced through from drawn or printed sketches, the words being typed in their respective places, and, if printed on opaque paper, photographic replicas Of any size can be made. while engrav- ings can be reproduced direct from the artists work. Any class of paper may be used, the sensitizing solution IS much cheaper than printing ink, and the speed of the process is greatly in it's favor,

HINTS FOR THE DAIRY.

A COW abominates an unclcan per son.
 Many dairymen feed too much; more iced joo l.G!t.
 Cows need roots from October to May for best results.
 Salting the COWS is one of the things too often neglected,
 Do not milk your cows before they calve Reduce the food ii udder is get. ting too hot, but do not milk
 There is good reason ro believe the colastrum, or first mess should be di- vided between the COW and calf.
 In dairying brains are needed as much as "blood;" yet the amount of brains is not as essential as the quality.
 Most cows prostrated with fever can be cured if prompt attention is gwen. The remedy is not physic. but Harmth.
 The greatest blessing hat .rurcOElgs to a dairynau is 8 swcct-temrarcd wife, who can make tine butter. 1 know this by experience. The wife appreciates having her husband say nice things about her and her work - Midland Farmer.

UNCLE SAM SILVER.
The Transfer, Counting and Storing of the Vast
 Amount Costs Heavily.

Carting to the United States mint vaults at Spring Garden and sixteenth streets the vast masses of silver bullion and silver dollars that have been stored in the old mint and the post office Duild' ing has attracted attention to the Tact that the successive transferring, count ing and storing of the white metal since its purchase as bullion about ten years ago, to say nothing of the depreciation of about third in the market prlce since that time, has cost the govern mrnt many thousands of dollars in eA- cess of its actual money value. In fact' the government would have saved great deal of money fl Il had thrown away the silver dollars as soon as they we're coined The keeping and handling ol them has proved to be the most eN- pcusive luxury in which the goNerh- ment has ever indulged
 The Philadelphia mint holds S2Oo'- OUJ,OOO in silver, over S6O.OOO,OOO or which has been coined into the cart wheel dollars. Each successive superlh- tendent since that time has had the sil- yer counted or transferred rom one place to another, the operation usuaHS requiring year or more and costing over S30,OOO in the single item of count ing. As the superintendents are under S2OO, 900 bonds, their bondsmen naturai- ly insist upon knowing just what they are responsible for, and 50 the counting process is undergone with each sue ceeding administration, Uncle sam paying the bill.

There are lbs 0i9 more cotton spindles
reported for the whole country in 1891
than in 1890 over 81 per cent of these
new spindles are located in the South
The balance, with the exception of l f-l0
per cent in the Western States, are To-
Gated in the Middle and Eastern States
Compared with this increase for the
whole country the percentage of increase
in the looms and spindles of the South
is all the more noteworthy 1t is shown
that during the past year there has been
installed in the Southern States 800, l65
cotton Spindles and lS,3f5 cotton looms.
or an increase of 16 40 per cent in the
cotton spindleS of that section as cem
pared with az per cent increase for the
whole country. 1t is contended by the
Textile World that this large increase,
flooding the market with coarse yarns,
has brought about the extreme depression
now existing in that branch of the busi
ness The increase of ~ per cent, If con-
tinued. would result in doubling the spin
ming capacity of the country in less than
ten years. The Southern rate of increase
would double the number of spindies in
four and one-half years, it is said The
population of the country at the rate of
increase during the past ten years would
be doubled in about thirty-fve years.
The wooden and worsted branch shows
the smallest average Increase, being )
per cent for woolen cards and 212 per cent
for worsted combs. This is the only
of the country show a decrease, there
being a less number of wooden cards and
wooden looms and worsted looms in the
Southern States now than one year ago.
In the knitting industry We find an in
crease of gi2 per cent in the number of
knitting machines. which means dou-
bling of the capacity in less than eight

A few days ago the Commissioners re-
ceived letter from d. Frank Parker, reps
rosenting John c. Parker, bookseller, etc,
stating that the contract between the
District and Eberhard Faber, of New
York City. had been transferred. and that
Parker would furnish the stationery, etc,
contemplated in the contract. The letter
in question was countersigued by Eber-
hard Faber, per Tyndale.
In reporting upon the matter, NJ. c. Har-
grove. Deputy Property Clerk. recon-
mended that the arrangement between
Faber and Parker be accepted so far rs
the Faber contract went. and that bond
be required from Parker for the faithful
performance of the contract as far as IL
related to other items than those specifi-
cally mentioned in the contract.
The letter was then referred to the Aud
itor, ]. T. Petty, who reports as follows;
"A contract cannot be transferred with.
out formal agreement in writing signed
by all the parties, including the sureties
This would in effect be equivalent TO a
new contract. | am of the opinion, how
ever. that what Mr.. Hargrove designates
as a contract is merely an accepted pro-
posal in which event there would be no
difficulty in making the agreement suS-
gested. The Commissioners, at the re-
quest of the successful bidder, are asked
to make contract with D. Frank Park
er on the terms of the original agreement.
The District will obtain the supplies in
question at the prices agreed upon, the
only difference being that ID. Frank Park

KNITTING MACHINES.

The number of silk spinning and twist
ing spindles increased 7.3 per cent and
the silk looms increased H. per cent in
the past year. The rate OF increase shown
on silk looms would double the weaving
capacity of the country in less than seven
years.
chinery and the lack of any correspond
ing increase in the outlet for goods are to
be found the causes for the depression
which has prevailed in every branch of
textile industry. The comparisons which
we have made may well lead our textile
manufacturers to the conclusion that
their attention may be profitably en-
ployed In finding new outlets for their
manufactured goods.
