"' Thirty-two miles southeast of Pisa,
tn the provincs of that narao, a very
remarkable and vpry ancient indus
try is carried on. We refer to the
alabaster industry, of which a full
description from actual observation
is given by Vioe Consul Carraicbaol
of Leghorn in a foreign postofQoo ro
port Voltorra, where tho alabaster
is found, enjoys special distinotimrj
among' places in the world which
produce that commodity. The ma
terial, which Is of five main vario
ties, is found in nodules imbedded
in huge "masses oS limestone. : At
the end of each cavern whence it ia
extracted two or throe mon are to be
seen working with small T shaped
picks by the dim light of unprotect
ed oil lamps of Etruscan 'pattern,
whioh, by a Bingular tenacity of tra
dition, are still in use in the district
In one case the block of alabaster
will be already woll projected from
its bod of limostono, and the opera
tor' ia carefully picking away all
around it in order to extricate the
complete block The larger the speo-
imon the more valuable it is in proportion-
to' its woight- In" another
scorch is still being made for the al
abaster, and the workman ia vigor
ously boating down tho wall of lime
stone until he lights upon the white
nose of what looks like a block. Ho
then pioks away carefully so as not
to injure the prize. When thore
seems a likelihood of a largo quanti
ty of limestone having to bo remov
cd, blasting with gunpowder is re
sorted to.
Tho alabaster industry dates back
to classic times. Great changes have
taken place in It, however, within
living memory. . In former days
there wore three distinct classes of
workmen engaged in the work of
fashioning the raw nmtorialtho
master artist, who owned -a work
shop and employed numerous work
ers,, soiling his products diroct to tho
alabaster shops or "galleries " the
journeymen and the travelers, noon
who took hugo cases of tbo goods
and sold them as they went along in
all the countries of the world, civi
lized and uncivilized. Of these two
the master workor and the travel
er are now extinct species. Nowa
days three men, usually relatives,
work together in informal partner

- Tho upland rice crop must be osref al
ly cultivated until up suDlolently to
cover tbe ground and take care of Itself.
Weeds and gram most bo kept down
and, above all, not allowed to choke tbe
young and spindling plants in tho row.
In this row work lies tbe main draw
back to upland rice culture. 'Tbo young
plants are extremely dolionto and would
soon succtfmb to a thick growth of crab
grass.' ' They grow rapidly, however,
and hence in a few weeks aro robust
and amply able to figbt thoir owo .way.

The Duck and the Rrn.
' Tbe qsestloa is ropoaledly asked.
Which Is tbe mure profitable, tbe dock
or tbe bonT In order to decide this mat
ter an enterprising pocltrymau, P. H.
Jacobs, liamniocton, N. 3.; made a test
The result is reported as follows: .
At a week old tbo dackling weighed
4 ounces, whild the chick only reached
ounces. At 9 wooks old tbe duckling
reached 0 ounocs, and tbe chick got top
to 4 ounce. At 8 weeks, duckling
1 pound; chick, o' ounces. At
weeks, dackling . t pound 9 ounces:
cbisk, 10 ounces, it 8 weeks, duck
ling 3 pounds 3 ounces
ounce. At A weeks 'old.
aUOEllDff
pounds 11 ounce! chick, 1 pound tH
ounces. At 7 week old. duckling 8
pounds 0 ounces; chick, 1 pound 7
ounces. At o weeks, eld, dackling
pounds; chick,, 1 pound 13 onnoos. At
9 wocks old, duckling 4 pounds 8
ounce; chick, 3 pounds. ,
' Bo It can bo scon that in tho same
time tho weight or the chick was
doubled by that of the duck. The prices
for dressed .carcasses run very close to
each other, so that tbe increase!! price
per pound makes "the profits on the duck
grcatar, si though it takes about twice
tbe amouut of food to grow tbera.
