The following statistics in regard to
British wool show how enormous is
this business. Tn 1865 Mr. Baines, of
Leeds, estimated the production of
Great Britain at 175,000,000 pounds; in
1791 ff was 100,000,000. In 1865 there
was used in woolen manufactures the
following materials: 52,000,000 pounds
"shoddy ' of home made rags, 22,000,
000 pounds of "shoddy imported rags,
5,000,000 pounds "wool extract." This
"extract" is wool received from worn
mixed-fabrics, where the cotton has
been destroyed by chemical process.
In the same year there was imported
of Angora goats' wool or mohair 54,
000, 000 pounds. So that about 380,000, -000
pounds of material for the woof or
filling of woolen goods (independent
of raw cotton used for adulteration)
was useoiin the woolen mills of Great
Britain, of which at least 120,000,000
pounds of wool came from other coun
tries. It seems difficult to get accu
rate statistics of this trade in Great
Britatn-teter than 1861. In that year
England had 1,456 factories, employ
ing 20,344 looms; Scotland 184 facto
ries with 1,303 looms; Ireland only 39
factories and 123 looms; employing in
all 83,983 hands. In addition to these
there are in Great Britain 532 worsted
factories, with 42,000 looms, employing
86,000 hands. These factories use long
wools and mohair which are spun like
flax. We have given these statistics
from the great "manufacturing hive"
of the world to exhibit in a strong
light what might be the result of a
derangement of this business by war,
should England be engaged, and to
show how vast and important it can
be made to the United States when
those great wool producing regions of
the East cease to produce, and yet
continue to consume.

Don't sit on the fence and whittle
the hours away while you are passing
through life. Shavings bring but
little profit here and probably will
not be needed to light the fire where
you go to.
Don't cavort and turn a back sum
merset because 'your industrious
chickens scratch up your squashes.
They have as much right to the bugs
as you to the squashes.
Don't leave your gates open and
then blame your pigs for rooting in the
garden. They have a perfect right to
go through where they can, and to
root is their natur1.
Don't loaf your time away and ex
pect the grass to quit arrowing: while
you are loafing. Grass don't like
loafers well enough for that.
Don't expect your plants to thrive
if you starve them to death. Plants
that are not fed" will not feed you.
Don't starve' and rob the land you
live on, for if you do in the long run
it will show its appreciation by starv
ing you.
Don't let the storm beat upon your
cattle without a roof to shelter them.
If you do they will not' furnish you
assistance to have a good tight roof
over yourself in your old age.
Don't neglect your barns and build
a fine house. Barns build houses but
houses never build barns.
Don't expect water to run up hill to
get out of . your low lands after you
have filled the ditches with rubbish.
Water is lazy and would rather stay
any where than climb a hill.
A Dangerous Traveling Companion.
Among the passengers who left St.
Louis for the East Wednesday night
was a large, well-built gentlemen,
whose restlessness annoyed everybody
in the sleeping-coach. He retired to
his berth without taking off coat, col
lar or boot, and fell into a dose.
While the train was speeding toward
Mt. Vernon, 111., at the rate of thirty
miles an hour, the porter heard a loud
noise in the car and discovered tnai
the queer passenger was walking up
and down between the berths and
making a great racket. The porter
went up to him and asfeed him to go
back to his berth. Tne5passenger was
a raving maniac. He glared at the
ith blood-shot .eves, and in a
t'renzv of race felled him to the floor,
n-nn". leaninsr unon him. attempted! to
stab him with a bowie'knife. A desperate-
encounter follpwed, during
which the porter was terribly wounded
The conductor SDrane: to rne rescue,
but the lunatic struck him in the face
with a heavy goblet and snapped
a derrinerer at his head, the pistol
missing fire. With a terrible curse,
he struck the conductor with the butt
of a. nistol and then fled into the
rl rn wine-room car. lockins: the door
behind him, smashing the mirrors on
the walls, and leaping headlong from
the platform.

A refreshine: item. Interview with
n. firanville farmer who has no speci
alty but means business. Raleigh
Observer: After tea we proceeded to
interview the Sauire on his mode of
farm inc. We asked what was his
snecialtv or market crop. He replied,
"1 have no specilaty, sir. I sell from
this farm every article of production
from an egg to a horse." "To-day,"
snid he. "Isold in town a beef weigh
ing over six hundred pounds, and I
a, number of beeves every year. I
have not bought a horse in twenty
five years, always keep from six to ten
on the farm, and sell one or two every
vear of mv own raising at good prices.
I sell bacon, pork, flour, wheat, oats,
corn, mutton and lambs every year,
and np.tnallv (he said with a hearty
laugh) the old woman, here, lately
has been selling chickens and eggs in
addition to her usual sales oi Duuier,
sweet and Irish potatoes, cabbage and
turnips.
Growlne Tuberoses
To cultivate the tuberose, the most
beautiful of all plants, says an experi
enced horticulturist, putthe bulbs in
six-inch pots, "three in each, and use a
mixture of equal parts tuny loaau,
peat and leaf mould, and place them
in a pit. Give very little water at
first; and as they commence to grow
freely increase it, and keep near the
glass. When they begin to push up
their flower spikes, they will, of ne
cessity, require to be placed where
they will have sufficient space for the
proper development of tthe tall
spikes. These will come in, bloom
from August to October, when they
will require a temperature ranging
from sixty to eighty degrees, the lat
ter being preferable. Scientific Amer
ican. save the Peach Tree.
Salisbury-Examiner.
The borr worm is at work on a
large scale in this immediate vicinity;
the first indications of their operations
is the curling of the leaves. This
destruction of peach trees is easily
overcome by scraping away the dirt
from around the roots and sprinkling
a thick lay of a mixture of equal por
tions in bulk of soot & salt, and it
would be well to add a Little ashes.
