The scgar factory presents a most an
imated and interesting sight. Imagine
four thousand tlvr hundred—such is
the number at present employ ed—girl*
and women, of ages varying from aWut
fourteen or fifteen, up to forty, but
most of them young and pretty, women
all dressed in the gay costume of their
province*, their rich black hair being
their only head dress. the superintcu
dent* (moat of them very pretty and
lady-like young women moving alnmt
among them in a vain attempt to keep
an amount of silence and order.
Imagine such a gay, chattering crown

regularity, the swiftness, the whirl
wind whirl of machinery, all crammed
close together, their little haskcts ol
food hanging over their heads, occu

or government scgar- ot various classes
and paper hags for the cigarettes.
They sit in long corridors with open
windows; the air is oppressive, but
laden with tobacco dust like snuff, tin
Spanish tolvuvo being the triturated
leaf, not the birds-eye and shag, which
are unknown to Spanish smokers; as
you jias.- along, joke after joke is lev
eled at you; half a hundred baskets of
salt rt-h, bread and fruit are proflert*'
you; peals of laughter go up around
you as you venture to Inquire whether
the close atmosphere is not prejudicial
to health. Vain are the matron's re
monstrances; the good-humored light
hearted, vivacious crew will not come
to a halt until stranger, matron and all
are fully convulsed with laughter.
Those girls, if skilful workers, can
earn even as much as fifty cents jwr

The British funeral arrangements are
it must tie admitted, in an uusatisfac
torv condition. It Is not only the opin
ions are divided on the questions of cre
mation, burial in wicker Collins, and
other modes of sepulture, but there is
an agitation to be observed in the burial
classes which is unusual ami, to a cer
tain extent, alarming. We hear of
gravedigwers suddenly throw ing down
their pieks anl shovels and refusing
to work without higher remuneration,
and now a strike of undertakers is re
ported from Gateshead. This "rather
serious occurrence" as it is termed by
the relieving officer in a report to the
guardians of the union took place un
der the following circumstances, it
seems that the Gateshead undertakers
have hitherto, lor a fixed charge, re
moved all corpses from the workhouse
to the cemetery, hut they now complain
that the weight of some of the bodies
which they have to carry is so unreas
onably heavy that they cannot do it for
the price. They therefore threaten
that, unless the guardians make new
anil better arrangements, they w ill be
coui|>elled to refuse carrying any more
bodies. The guardians have resolved
to leave the matter In" the hands of the
relieving officer, with the view of com
ing to some compromise with the un
dertakers, and here the matter rests for
the present. In the nieantiriie, if it is
really tne intention of the undertakers
to charge in future on the burial by
wreight system, [x-rsons with any con
sideration for tiieir families should
avoid as far as possible eating them
selves to death. There can lie little
doubt that the dinner-table as a rule
is more deadly than the battle-field,
and that, if the history of the world
were truly written it would be found
that gluttony has been far more fatal
than patriotism.— Pall Mall OazeUf.
Books ana Dinner.
There is still a jiopular belief that
it is less extravagant to spend $lO
for a dinner than to spend $lO for a
book. A festive person out on a holiday
will sjxoul 25 cents for a quart of fx-a
nuts which he did not need ami which
he eats up in an hour or two (to his in
ward damage) who would never think
of buying for the same money some
cheap edition of a standard book which
would furnish him solid enjoyment for
many days, and add materially to the
value of iiis life. Such a reluctance is
thereto buy books, that a whole neigh
borhood, eager, perhaj>s, to read a new
work by a jiopular author, (hungry for
it,) wili wait for months to borrow it,
and gnatch the reading of it, rather
than spend half a dollar to own it, and
satisfy the intellectual appetite at once.
Every day, in the city, people gpend $5
and $lO for elaborate lunches which i
they do not need, when the money
would buy some fine edition of a work i
that would entertain them for a month i
or two, and enrich their minds forever, i
They are prodigal about eating and i
drinking, spending liberally for dvs- I
pepsia, but trust to chance and borrow- i
ing for what the mind wants. The
sample loom is more attractive to thein
than the news room, and they pass by 1

Thr Titalhrnl arnlptnr.
Otic morning, more than a luuidrrd
years there wa* a man in the little
town ol i'osagno, in the ancient Vene
tian States, who wa> in as great jer
plexity a* ever man couhl lie. lie vva*
head cook In the household of one John
Falieri, a mighty Senator of Venice,
ills master was to give a grand dinner
that evening to a numlier of licautlfitl
ladle* a id gallant gentlemen whom he
had invited to hi* oountrv-*eal to pa-*
the shooting season with him. lie had
charged upon his cook to do the very
best and allow himself a credit to Ids
country.
The jaHir cook tried hard, l*H\au*e he
was a faithful ami conscientious servi
tor. But at last Ids invention had
failed him. The table would not be
complete w Ithout an ornamental centre
piece iiatrlotie and allegoric ami
the cook, not lying a man of much
imagination, was sunk in the blackest
kind of despair, lie really did not
w hat he should do. bo he *l down
ami began to cry, as Italian* often do
when they are in trouble.
Just then a very small boy slipped
into the kitchen. He saw the o>ok in
tears, and stole quietly up to him to
find out w hat the matter was. lie was
on very grant terms with the lord of tin*
kitchen, ami many a idee hit of pastry
had found lla way l>ctweeii hi two
rows of shining white teeth through
the kindness of the cook, lu fact, lie
and Ids pareut* subsisted to a certain
extent upon the crumb* that fell lmtu
John Kaiierl's table, lor they were very
|Hor. Antonio'* clothes were old and
torn,hut he didn't mind that,because he
was only ten years old, anil hail not yet
reached the age of frivolity. Besides,
he had his talent to comfort him, so
that on the whole he was rather happy
than otherwise.
"O. my dear Antonio," cried the cook,
wiping his eyes with hi- sleeve, "I am
in such trouble' It you could only help
ute now ! 1 must have a grand orna
mental centre-piece for the dinner-ta
ble to-night, and I don't know what
to do about It. Ju*t help uie, like a
good boy, and to-morrow morning I'll
give you the nicest piece of floated cake
you ever saw, raspberry jam between
the layers, two."
Antonio thought a moment in silence.
"I ought to he able to help him," he
s:id to himself. "If I could only turn
tuy modeling and wood-carving to-omc
account now ! M bat's the use of know
ing how to do thing* if you can't help
other jieople with them* I have It'
Hurrah
Antonio was decidedly Inspired, lie
rtishcd thaough t lie dour like a triad bov,
crying only to the astonished isKk,
"keep up your courage! I'll be back in
ait hour!"
And all the cook did w as to roll up
his eye* and clasp his hands and say,
"Mercy on us! That boy will la* some
body yet!"
True to his word, Antonio came hack
in an hour, with a large lion carved in
wood uiuter Iti- artu. The noble beast
was reclining with his tail curled
and the tablet* of the Venetian law or
the writings of St. Mark, whichever
you choose to take them for. under his
right paw*. Of course you know that
this was the emblem of the He
public of Venice, and therefore the
most appropriate centre-piece imagi
nable for the table of a \ euetian N-twa
tor. The eook wa- delighted w itli the
model, and gave Antonio a red apple on
the spot.
"Only, of course, you dou't mean me
to send up this wooden tiling to the ta
ble? You must mold it in something
eatable."
"Of coarse, stupid!" rejoined Anto
nio sharply. "Butter is the tiling I
want. Give me all the butter in the
house. Before night you'll have as
pretty a lion as any In Venice."
At dinner that night ail the guests
remarked the cleverly-carved i-entre
piece. They found it an excellent -üb
ject to fall hack upon when conver-a
tion lagged, ami at last the rumor of
the aduiiralitMl it excited reached the
ear- of the master ol tin* bouse.
"Why it i* a tine liea-t," said lie, no
ticing it for the first tltue.
"Who can have done It? Can it be
that my cviok has developed a talent for
sculpture? 1 must call him up and
compliment liiiu on it."
The cook was sent for and came. The
Senator began to praise hi- work, in
quired if it had cost hiui much time and
troulde. and assured him of the satis
faction it iiad given him—John Falieri
—in commmon with alt his guests. The
cook was overcome and began to cry.
His nerves had been heavily strained
by the excitement of preparing the
banquet.
*'Why, what is the matter?" asked
the Senator. "Are you crying for joy ?"
"No, my lord, but for grief to think
that I do not deserve the praise yon be
stow* on me."
"What? You did not carve the Hon?"
"No, my lord."
"Who did. then ?"
"A little |easaiit boy. my lord—one
of your lordship's subjects, called Anto
nio Everybody at*mt the place know -
him."
'•N'nd for him. then. My lords and
ladies, would it not please you to see
the little prodigy?"
Antonio was called up from the kitch
en, where he had been regaling himself
with cold fowl with a pleasing con
sciousness of having earned his *up|>er.
He was not at all frightened w hen he
heard that be waa to appear before the
mighty John Falieri. Your true ge
nius never doubts himself. He only
took the time to wash his face and hands
upon the motherly suggestion of one of
the women-servants. Then he went up
stairs into the rooms full of glittering
light* and jewels and tine clothe* with a
proud a step as though he hail been a
king. So in truth be was, king of tin
realm* of geuius.
"Are you the person w ho carved this
lion ?" cril the Senator, much amazed
at tin- *ight of such a very small boy.
"Yes, iny lord."
"And bow old are you, pray ?"'
"Ten years."
"My lords and ladies," cried the N-u
--ator, ri*ing ami tilling hi- gl.i--. "we
pray you, bear witness that we take
tlii* youthful genius under our protec
tion henceforth, lx-t u* drink to the
health of iiiui who twenty year* from
now will be the !ir*i sculptor of the
age."
Antonio wa* not aha*lied—he was on
ly overjoyed: and as soon as jM>--ihh- lie
ran home to tell III* parent* of the good
fortn.'ie that had Is-fallen him. Ilis pa
tron procured admittance for him into
the studio of the first sculptor of the
time, where he made rapid progress.
Two years after, he carved two baskets
of fruit, in marble, for hi* kind friend,
which still adorn the vestibule of the
Falieri i'alace in Venice.
As he grew up, he received orders
for statues from the rich and distin
guished of bis own country and of
others. Every gallery sought to pos
sess a specimen of his handiwork ; every
academy of art was proud and happy
to offer him a mcmtiership. it is said
of liiin that he received more honors
than any other sculptor or painter since
the time of Raphael.

writing at this moment there stands a

in our modern industrial history —a
landmark which the world owes to the
sagacity and perseverenco of a handful
of north-country Quaker*. The idea of
celebrating the fiftieth aituuivei-m yof
the opening of the Stockton and Dar
lingtou Hallway originated with the
Director* ot tlie North-eastern t'ouipa
lll*, whose system Is the direct re-utl ot
tlie little line. Its twenty-live mile-,
constructed with a Capital of t'|is,ol,
and bringing in a revenue of tts. fo.l,
owning two locomotives, the carriage,
and a few wagons, was the niicleu* of
of an agglomeration of local and oilier

the l**st paying and best managed lines
of the i nited Kingdom. In voting

that lie take the line* an I drive, a- he
himself was tired. Mr. Clay readily
consented, whereupon the Governor
took the hack scat in the carriage. The
honored statesman drove the team suc
cessfully into the town and they were
met by a large concourse of people.

carriage and being asked whether he

Thf Frailty ol HiMtrrn Art.
The old masters made their own colors.
The material which entered into their
pigment* came to them unadulterated,
and the excellence of the paint depend

their paintings to-day, though lacking
somew hat freshness of color, have a
mellow lie** which age (-au only give to
pigment* of the highsst excellence.
Modern picture* will not ripen, their
colors fade, and the mellowness of the
old master* i* unattaiuahle. Ilolinau
Hunt, of England, In* called the atten
tion of lovers of the tine art* to thi* de
plorable fact. And the reasons are
given, 'l'he artist's colors are no lon

True Wisdom.
To comprehend a man's life it is neces
sary to know not merely what he does,
but what he purposely leaves undone.
There is a limit to the work that can lie
got out of a human being and he is a
wise man, who wastes no energy on
pursuits for which he is not fitted, and
he is a still wiser man who, from among
the things he can do well, chooses and
resolutely follows the best.

is, an animal must eat three |iiiiids of
straw to get tlie same subsistence as
would lie afforded by one |H>und of hay.

must consume all the hay they can eat,

As nearly all the nitrogen of the flMhl

earth or muck, or cut straw. Much of
the net profits of stock comes from the

farmer in ten saves half the hog ma

Morse, of Salem, occasionally turns
from IIIS specialty, the hracmopods,

are four tin sal its well as four carpal

lieing the main point* He has tonce
discovered that there are embryo claws
on two of the'digits of the fore-limb,
the index middle finger. Hitherto
only a single claw has been known, and
that in hut few cases. These interest
ing results throw new light on the re
lationship between lepfiles and birds
which Mr. Huxley has insisted upon.

of heat when wet than when dry, and
that various classes of stones, such us
marble, sandstone, granite. A c., have
approximately the same coelticients of

Dr. R. V. Pierce. of Buffalo, distin

made a valuable contribution to the
medical literature of the day, in a com
prehensive work entitled "The People's
Common Suise Medical , Adviser."
While scientific throughout, it i* singu
larly free from technical and stilted
terms. It comes right down to the com
mon sense of every-day life. Dr. Pierre
is a noble specitneu of American man
hood. lie ha* sprung from the people;
ami, witli many sympathies in comuiou
with the masses, has sought to render
them a substantial service in this the
great work of his life. S
Consumptives. Take Notice!
Every moment of delay makes your
cure more hopeless, ami much depends
on the judicious choice of a remedy.
The amount of testiinonv in favor of
I>r. Schenek's Pulmonic Syrup, as a
cure for consumption, far exceeds all
that can la' brought to support the pre
tensions of any other medicine. See
lr. Schenek's Almanac, containing the
oertlflcaufe of many persons of the high
est respectability, who have been re
stored to health, after being pronounced
incurable by physicians of acknow
ledged ability. Schenek's Pulmonic
Syrup alone has cured many, as these
evidences will show; hut the cure is
often promoted by the employment of
two other remedies which I>r. Schenck
provides for tiie purpose. These addi
tional remedies are Schenek's Sea Weed
Tonic and Mandrake Pills. By the
timely use of these medicines, according
to directions, l>r. SohenMt certifies that
most any case of Consumption may be
cured.
