HAY EALING
Lots of Machines and rlen Engaged
 in the Work.

Well informed parties estimate the number of hay presses at work i'll the valley at about B. These employ an average of about eight men to each press, making, say 2SO men engaged on this work alone.
 The product is about twelve tons 6 day and the average run of a press about three months in the year.
 So the thirty five presses at twelve tons q day each aggregate 420 tons day, 2520 tons a week, and B, ,760 tons for the thirteen weeks they are esti- mated to average.
 The value of this hay varies of course according to season and market A good price is expected later in the sea- son, and much of 1t will be held with the hope of profitable market on the coast.
 The wages paid the balers Is $l.75 to $2.50 day, so that the total of wages disbursed, and the amount of money earned by the product is very large.

WHEN NAruRE MODS.

Nature mods undoubtedly at times, as in the case of the child born without a brain, whose case has been made public this week. Not long ago an infant was born and lived for three weeks with a hole through it's heart. Thousands of us are color blind. others have no musical sense. And there are many Laura Bridgmans, many Helen Kellers. The Queen Of Rumania has, or had, at her court in personal attendance upon her self the daughter of a blind nobleman. She coul neither hear nor speak, and to be taught to communicate by holding the throat of a speaker. and initiating the vibration produced by the effort.

COAL FOR s71 YEARS.

It appears that there is coal in the United Kingdom to depth of 4O0O feet. sufficient. at about the present rate of output, to suffice for 371 years, but that this period will be considerably extend ed, seeing that there is every probabi- lity that mining can be carried on to a depth of 1000 feet, though at this depth there will not be anything like the area of coal that there is at the former limit. It is also reasonable to expect that this period of supply may be still further ex- tended by more economical use of fuel due to the establishment of central electrical supply stations and the utili- zation of Mond and other gas producing processes and of gas driven engines, as well as other means of obtaining a higher percentage of the heat value of the fuel-St. James Gazette.

SOME SMALL FIREs

There were two slight fires yesterday morning. The first occurred at the home e H. 3. Ives at 704 Whitney avenue. The fire was in an ash pit under an c3en grate; no damage resulted.
 Draoery over a stove in the home of E. ?. Wilson at F Salsonstall avenue caused the second fire which did dam age of s2O.
 At 2:sO Thursday morning fire was discovered in Brockett's mill, Foxon. Before the flames could be extinguished the interior of the mill was badly dam aged and machinery and belting in jured to the extent of about s2OO. The only cause that can be assigned is tramps. There was absolutely no fire in the building as the machinery had not been used for some time.

Some Figures That, After All, Are Not

Cincinnati ENQUIRER

1890. Cincinnati Enquirer. s..-s
A statistican has gone to the trouble to
vorced women, 81, per cent of the widowed
and 81 per cent of the single women are
engaged in gainful pursuits. Only about
6 per cent Of the married women are SINH
larry situated. While the great body of
married women are at home attending to
the domestic duties which are naturally
set down for them, there is some hope
still that the old order of things is not
going to be completely overthroWn. The
world will not be without homes The
figures indicate that 81 per cent of the
married men are supporting their wives,
tho the women are, of course, doing, their
full share in maintaining domestic es-
Establishments which are bulwarks of NOR :.
ais and good. order, and. which keep thei
race from dying out, +.@tzE 90 tsyaa7 r
On surface analysis it may seem won
derful that 81 per cent of the married
men find enough to do to support families,
when so many women are in mems Occu-
patton; but the earth is big, and the ordi-
nary attempt at compromising the things
to be done and the number of people to
do them is pany indeed. In the long run,
there appears to be room for everybody
the home woman, the new" woman, the
mannish woman, the Is bachelor woman,
etc., likewise for the Womanish man and
the men who depend on the labor and
SnroWQneSS OF IIlelrs wives 10 Keep EIueIt
going. The mixture of the sexes in the
active business aaffirs today would have
scared writer's on political economy TWEEN
ty-five years ago. It4seemsz plain enough,
for example, that when az man on "a. sal
airy gets work for his daughter in the
same occupation, at, 81 perhaps, smaller
compensation than he receives he is sap
ping the foundation Of his own employ
ment and prosperity; that, in the long
run, will be simply dividing up his salary
among the members of his, own family
and driving other men out of employ
ment.
The results Of widespread changes OF
this sort look, apparently, to an entire
revolutionizing Of society. But some peo-
pie are not stopping to study the text
books. They are going ahead with the
fashions Of the. time, leaving the pessi-
mists and those who have nothing to do
but study to read up on political economy.
A great many Wise books have been inn
practicable in re4-,ion II to business af-
fairs. IF society is going wrong in put
ting the gentler sex In the lines of en-
ployment that were formerly exclusively
for men, the mistake will manifest itself
some day in serious way Money panics

rich quick, and then foEsws the travail Of
liauidation. And so it is with other af-

he learned the story Of his early life

was born, and of his daring exploits
