in -vaia or " pus, wniou, to say tno
least, aro uninviting bath-tubs. In old
times tanneries were largely "local In
dustries," and in such near-by inoun
tain regions as tho Herkshires or tho
Catskill tho summer explorer discovers
in hnlt-cliokcu vats, or picturesque,
tumble-down, deserted buildings, vest!
lies of n nettv industry which flourish
ed till all tho accessible trees had been
cut or reoklcusly robbed of their hark,
and then disappeared, to glvo way to
hucn modern centres ot trado as l'ea
body, Massachusetts. Ilichcr up in
tho mountains aro still to bo found
half-rotted piles of timber or bark,
Btrandcd when the tide of industry
ebbed away.
Let our hides como to tho tannery
"wet salted." Tho ropes are cut, and
tho hides arc put into tho great sunken
boxes underneath the lloor to soak in
"water-pits" lor a few days. This
"process cf water1' is necessary for
soaking, milling, and softening tho
hide to get it into condition to receive
the bark. After soaking, tho hides
aro hung over a wooden "horse," nnd
cut through tho back to soparato them
into "sides." Sorao tanners then place
them in the vats, and cover them up
to tnko a "warm sweat" or a "cold
sweat," tho pungent moisturo from the
hides loosening tho haii and scurf. Tho
common method, however, is to placo
tho hides for a fow days in a solution
of limo and water, not, so stronc as to
let tho skin get "limo burned." This
"liming" not only plumps, or swells,
tho hide, but if a skin is beginning to
decomposo or decay, tends to presorvo
it for tanning. After tho hair-loosening
the besmeared tip-cart again makes
its appearance, splashed and spattered
insid'o and out, driven by men whoso
business it is to spatter and bo spatter
ed reody to take a load to tho beam
houso. "Beaming," or unhairing, derives its
name from an inclined convex wooden
form called a "beam," on which tho
hido is spread during tho operation.
A blunted piece of iron, known ns a
"hide-worker," similar to a draw
shave, easily removes the hair after tho
hide is taken from tho water where it was
"dumped" after tho liming. Tho beam
store, bending to their task, look as if
they had taken in a largo week's wash
ing, and but for unsavory odors a
beam-room might pass for a laundry.
Tho hides aro next "trimmed" with a
knifo to remove all tho hard, harsh, or
unnecessary parts on the edge of the
skin aro cut off as they are so much
thicker than the rest of the skin that
they would seriously interfere in tho
future processes of obtaining an even
tannage, and also in an economical
use of the purchaser. The hides next
pass into a queer-looking contrivance
known as a "pin-wheel," a stout circu
lar wooden box, in which they are
ohurned about in warmish water,
dropping upon stout wooden pins at
tached to the circumference. Tho mis
sion of the lime, to preserve tho hide
and loosen the hair, is accomplished,
and this washing in warm water is a
preparation for "drenching," the first
process of uulimiming.
To an observer it might seem that
the whole process has been such a ser
ies of drenchings that moro is unneces
sary. To "drench," however, tho hides
are placed for six or eight hours in
vats filled with a dissolved excrement,
above which a line of large wooden
"England wheels" like the paddle-
wheels ot a steamer in their revolu
tion turn them over and over in the so
lution. Tho drenched hides, when ta
ken from this "bate," are a second
time worked over a beam, to remove
the lime thoroughly and get them into
the best possible condition to receive
tho bark.
To tread tho wholesome- looking
ground bark whicli covers tho ap
proach to tho tan vats after leaving
tho slippery, slimy, uncertain floor of
tho beam-room, is almost a luxury.
The deep-oolored "liquor," of ground
oak or hemlock bark and water, looks
inviting after tho indescribable mix
tures thus far used. Most tanners buy
bark, which is now sold compresed
like hay, ond grind it in a "bark mill,"
leaching the bark to obtain tho liquor,
but some use extracts. Tho hideB to
bo oolored or tanned, looking unnat
urally white alter their thorough
cleansings, aro placed in tanks of bark
liquor to bo "handled" by tho revolu
tions of another England wheel, as in
the drenching treatment. Becoming
slightly colored, they are placed in
largo piles for a day or two to get
them seasoned to take" tho bark. The
plank flooring is removed from one of
these long systems of vats, where the
hides aro laid away in strong bark liq
nor to receive tho tannage. As each
hide is pread out in the vat it is cov
ered with some ground bark wet with
water as carefully ai a good housewife
rinkles with sugar lier choicest pre-
ye.". Hides remain m a "first laver

Gutting Down tho Hay Mow.
lho usual purposo in ctiltlnjr down
n hay mow in winter, is to mnko tho
woikof pitching tho hay oft easier
than when tho whole mow is bound to
gcther, hut there should bo an object
runner tiiiin this, nnd that object to
prevent having lho poorest hay for
sprint: feedinir.
As soon ns grass starts in April, do
incstio animals loso nppetllo for dry
feed, and it Is at this season that thoy
kiiouiu navo lho best lodder. Work
ing horses, and milch cows especially,
should have at that tiinu the best dry
ieeu mat the tnrm has produced.
It is a good plan to cut down tho
mow, so that the bottom of the samo
will bo reached at mid winter i this if
old, nnd has lost n portion of its mi
tr'tion should bo thoroughly mixed
with tho bright hay ot tho top ol tho
mow, and llavorcd by sprinkling with
lho salt water, and common!. This wo
have done with liood results.
In writing this,tho assumption is that
ineru mis been, year nttcr year, a coat'
ing of n few tons, moro or less, loft ly
Ititr. in tho bed of the mow. for it Is
very seldom that lho demands of stock
nnd tho supply ot iodder comes out
evenly, and now nnd then tho farme
will Iw untight with the poorest hay of
ins uiiuru siorage leu wr spring ieeu
ing.
When tho foundation of tho hay is
wen up ttom the ground, and has a
coating of clean straw, tho bottom of
this may bo as good as any pan of it,
mn it is senium tnai wo unit an aver
ago quality there, and for two rea
sous, i'lrst, tho grass put in earl v is
moro succulent than that cut later, and
is moro likely to hent and mold s and
Bccond, tho damp winds sweepinc bo
neath mo barn during tho wet season
...!tl , . . . ... . r . .
win ueiraci moro oriessirom the nutri
ment of tho hay. Of courso all these
things can bo averted, but they aro not
always done ; ttierctorc tho suggestion
to cut tho mow.
After tho base of tho first fed part is
reached, it should bo prepared for re
ceiving hav from tho remaining part,
thoroughly cleaned out and covered
with straw. We would not suircest
mrowing down tho top ot tho mow
into this place, for probably tho last
nay put m was not as cood as that cut
a week previous. Tho tanner can tell
when he comes to nn extra veiu. and
that should be tho fodder preserved
tor spring use.
It is tho habit of sonic to deposit a
ion or two upon tho scaltold over tho
stable for lato feeding, but wo do not
behove tho plan cotnendable, for the
gases arising from tho stable will con
taminate, to a greater or less extent,
tho fodder above. If feed is stored on
tho scaffolding, it should bo fed first.
that it may escape tho stable gases and
odors. It is not a bad plan to deposit
the poorest hay made in this place,
and use it in cold weather by cutting
and sprinkling with corn or oatmeal.

The New Orleans Exposition.
The opening of tho New Orleans
Exposition, or World's Fair, is an
event full of significance, and it may
well bo celebrated with roioioinmi
throughout the whole Union, and
moro especially at tho South. Tho
successful completion of lho great un
dertaking marks, we trust and believe,
tho beginning of a now era of Southern
piosperity.
It shows that tho Southern ooonle.
instead of being deficient in enterprise,
us nas ueen so oiten charged against
them by their Northern critics, have
been able to successfully carrv throuih
a scheme whicli had been abandoned
by New York and Boston because of
the lack of publio interest in it, or be
cause Us Northern managers wero do-
fitient in zeal and courage. The nro-
jectors of the New Orleans Exposition
have had to encounter extraordinary
obstac.es from tho very start, but they
nave surmouuted them bravely, and
patiently proceeded to perfect their ar
rangements for one of tho most remar
kable of tho whole series of World's
Fairs.
It will be peculiar, because it will
for tho first time bring prominently he
foro tho attention of the world tho re
sources of a region of boundless natu
ral wealth and of extraordinary possi
bilities of development. It will show
lo lho Northern States especially that
their Southern countrymen have left
far behind them lho passious of the
war and all merely sectional jealousies
in their eager pursuit of material prog
ress. Tho South invites tho North moro
particularly to become acquainted by
personal inspection with tho social and
industrial situation there, nnd with the
opportunities which its wide territory
offers to capital and enterprise. It
will display a variety of products and
evidences and proofs of mineral and
agricultural resources which must pro
voke surprise bmh at home and abroad.
IJitherto, though pleasure travel thith
er lias much increased of recent years,
the South, as it actually is, has been lit
tlo understood at tho North. 'To tho
great mass of our people as it is known
only as it has been pictured by politi
cal enemies, or as friendly imaginations
may have conceived it to be.
Now the South calls on all to como
and see for themselves, to study for
themselves its social and political 'spir
it, anil to observe its industrial temper
and capacities, and tho wealth with
which nature has endowed it. The
season, too, is ono in whicli travel
southward is always grateful, even
when no such extraordinary induce
ments aro offered ; and therefore, we
expect to see thu invitation accepted
ly many thousands, whoso visit to
No Orleans will doubtless help to
strengthen tho growing community of
feeling between the two pails of tho
Union.
But, bi sidis its dUplay of Southern
products, which form its most interest
nig ami distinguishing feature, tint
New Orleans Exposition will oiler in
compaiison with llieiu a collection of
the best works of all home and foreign
industry and skill which will b of ex
traordinary attractiveness. N. Y Sun.

iKures to
Crime in England.
AND METHODS 01' TIIK.ATMKNT.
Messrs. Charlton T. Lowls nnd U.
A. McCurdy, of tho Prison Associa
tion of Now York, hnvo recently ex
amined tho prison system which now
prevails generally throughout England
and Wales. They rcpoit that among
Its most distinctive features nro :
1. Tho giadual ilisuso of short
terms of imprisonment, substituting ns
far as practlcablo other punishments in
thu placo of brief sentences, and tho
improvement of lho jails by employing
all inmates in some profitable form of
labor.
2. Tho classification of convicts,
necording to their conduct, after hav
ing served n period of nt least nine
months in solitary confinement with
conrsu food, hard bed mid other severi
ties. This put t of lho discipline is so
dreadful that it is believed lo have u
powerful deteircnt influenco on tint
ciiraiunl class. No ono Is sentenced
to penal servitude for less than five
years. After tho lirst period of severe
liscipltne, tho prisoner enters upon
another phnso of prison life which is
less exaoting. By good conduct earn
ing a certain number of credit mmks,
ho may bo promoted to another class
with greater privileges, and by similar
efforts to a third. In this way thu
length of his term may bo considera
bly shortened. To be mulcted of this
time, or to bo degraded lo u lower
class, nro considered thu severest pun
ishments. Flogging cannot bo admin
istered by any olliccr of the prison, but
only by tho visiting justices.
li. Tho labor of the convicts is eu
tirely for the Government, tho publio
account system. I ho labor is ot tho
greatest variety and id not conducted
with relereuco merely to immediate fi
nancial success.
Tho government ol thu prisons is
entirely m charge of tho Secretary of
State for Homo Affairs All oflicers
from tho highest to tho lowest aro np
pointed solely for their qualifications,
not ono of them being dependent on
political lniuicncp.
ims system, whicli is largely tho re
sult of tho labors ol Sir Walter Crof
ton, Is lho culmination of tho work of
prison reform during the last forty
years. What is the result of all this
thought, discussion and self-denying
toil 1 As the new state of tilings did
not become general until tecently, of
courso tho lull effect cannot yet bo
measured by statistics, liut t'.ie tig
ures as they are given may fill us with
astonishment, iuiglnnd and Wales in
1844 had a population of over 10,000,-
000. Taking an average of five years
about that time, wo find that thero
wore overy year 3J33 persons sen
tenced to penal servitude and 15,783
sentenced to shorter terms iu local
jails. England and Wales in 1881
had a prpulation ot over 2o,000,000. If
criminal convictions kept pace witli tho
population wo should hnd in that year
over 0,000 penal convictions nnd over
25,000 shorter sentences. Instead of
this wo have in 1881 only 1,525 penal
convictions and 9,200 shorter senten
ces. It tho general administration of
justice is as efficient in tho arrest and
conviction of criminals in our day as it
was torty years ago, then thero aro
moro than 20,000 persons iu ordinary
occupations unsupported by the State,
who would fiavo been under the old
system actually confined in jails or
prisons. Wheu we lament the preva
lence of crime wo ought to bear in
mind these facts. It is evident that
there has been great amelioration of
tho condition ot the worst in Great
Brittaiu. Much of this is owing to
tho general improvement iu tho condi
tion of all classes, to benevolent and
ehgious activities ana to other causes.
But much also is due, doubtless to this
prison system, which is singularly tree
from tho scntimentalism which has
tended to muko punishment a mock-

Tho mussel of tho channel coast is
ono of its most daiutv products. The
tide leaves it clinging in clusters among
tho sea-weed to tho hidden rocks.
Twice a day it seems to have blossom
ed and boruo Iruit, liko a miraculous
plant iu tho groat garden of the sea.
lho mussel gatherer with her sharp
knifo detaches ihcm and throws them
into her basket. To tho dull eyo
slime, weed, shells, all is vague, but
sho works with that sort of instinct that
is bred in our own manufactories. The
mussel ground, liko the washing pool,
is the villago newspaper and Dorcas
society. The younger women and tho
older gossips gather together, and the
noiso or their chatter rises abovo tho
sound of tho waves ; tho doings of the
villago are discussed, and tho presenco
of tho stranger offers opportunity to
tho villago wit to exercise her powers
of humor under breath and to tho uu-
pialified delight of her neighbors.
uown thu cults and among tho
rocks como tho cails, drawn by stout
Normau horses. Tho women throw
tho cords around their necks, and dox
tcrously swinging tho heaping baskets
on their backs, carry them to tho caits.
ueturning empty, they begin their
work again until the tide comes creep
ing in and drives them shoreward,
working ns thoy go. Tho shrimper is
always a lonely figure, following tho
tide through pools kneo deep, waving
her net like a great winged bird. Tho
labor is light, but each sweep of her
vigorous arm and tho dip of her net iu
tho wnter is tho throw ol a die. That
element of uncertainty which accompa
nies so closely tho fisherman's calling
drives her on until stout legs and arms
aro weary. Tho deep, cone-shaped
net comes up humming, and, as lho
water drops iu shining showers, her
eager eyes pter into its depths. The
shrimp is her silver and gold. Tho
sliming cruvelte is thu stake for which
she plaj, and now tho caprio'toid
waves line her net with its Mlvy
gleam, mid now fill it with wortls
