A BOTTLE OF INK
The Various Processes Employedin
Its Manufacture
An Article Which Is Sold for a Penny and
Yet Pays a Profit to Both Dealer
aud Manufacturer-
It is a wet and windy day cold and
cheerless during tbe season that is
known in England as summer We
are located at lite seaside and the
neeeesky has arisen for writing an im
portant business letter Wo have
called for paper pen and ink and al
though the lirt is obtainable some
having been included by a rare chance
among the chaotic mass of indispon
EaMes brought from the homestead
tbe ink and the pen are not forthcom
ing Even the landlady of the lodg
ings has admitted her poverty in this
particular and as a last resource tbe
domestic has been despatched through
the rain to the nearest stationers aud
the has returned with a small bottle of
ink and a pen and holder for which
she has lahl out one penny
1 The letter is written and lies
ready to be dispatched As the rain
continues to fall we are driven for
laek of occupation to consider and to
orkictse the furniture and the vari
ous shelly and sea weedy ornaments
that adorn our sitting room But
there is a limit to even satirical com
ments on shabby furniture and as all
olse in the room has been metaphoric
ally dragged to pieces the recent
purchase comes under notice A pen
ny bottle of ink There can be noth
ing remarkable in so commonplace an
article Have we not seen thorn in
the newsvending class of stationers
shops heaped together in the corner
of the window or on a back shelf
rough dingy uninviting objects
Why waste a moment of lime or a
passing thought over such merchan
dise But the rain keeps us within
doors and affords an excuse in the
absence of other amusement for turn
ing to this humble pennyworth
I Whatever else it may be it can not
with justice be classed as a dear pur
chase The shopkeeper presumably
made a profit on the sale the manu
facturer also benefited and most like
ly there was a middleman who has
not gone unrewarded It would ap
pear that our purchase of this small
bottle has assured a monetary profit tc
two If not three tradesmen When wt
aceme to think of it there must lx
many others who have shared in oui
penny When examined in onler wt
find tbe bottle the ink black and
fluid and exceedingly pleasant foi
writing a cork sealed with wax 1
printed lebei covering a slot in the
bottle in which rests a wooden pon
bolder containing a good steel nib
Thus we have six articles each one
from a different source brought to
gether and retailed for one penny
How can it be done for the money
Perhaps if we examine still closer w
may get some insight into the secret
though to fathom it completely mus
necessarily be beyond us
The glass of the bottle is of the
cheapest quality It is evidently made
of cutlet a technical term foi
broken ttindows tumblers bottles
and every description of fractured
glass Among the curious trades that
abound are collectors of broken glass
who clear the duit yards and the
builders yards and carefully select
and keep apart the flint and plate
glass from the common window panes
These collectors supply the smal
glass blowers and vans loaded with
this fragile freight may oftentimes be
seen journeying to the workshops
where night and day the furnacei
Llize and perspiring men blow th
motel metal into the heated xnouldf
that shape the bottles The mould
themselves have taxed a more than or
dinary intelligence It needs a rare
mechanical mind to produce even a
common bottle mould The pattern
jaaker the iron founder and the me
chanic who finishes the rough
castings have all brough
their special tact and knowl
odge to bear before a singlr
bottle could be produced The mould
reaches the glass house where alter
iiate shifts of men arc constantly blow
ing and annealing the bottles super
vised by foreman or master who with
the previously mentioned makers ol
the mould have all shared with the
manufacturer and retailer in the profit
of our penny
Next we take the ink Who shall
toll how many persons are directly and
indireotlv concerned in this small
quantity of liquid Leaving on on
side the -unspeakable Turks who have
stripped their oak trees of the gall
nuts of which all black inks worthy
the name arc made and on the othei
hand the hardy north countrymen
dwellers on the Tyne where the best
eoepporas is produced there are the
brokers dealers and drysalters
with their clerks porters and the
dock laborers there are thf
chemist who blends the chemical
and tho ink boiler who have made the
ink there arc tho men boys or girlf
who ponr it into these small bottles
and in oilier ways prepare it for sale
every one of whom has had a portior
of our penny
The cork is so small as almost tr
escape notice Workmen In Spain 01
Franco have stripped we Dane irorr
the cork tree after ten years crowth
other brokers aud their satellites have
sold it at public auction or by privat
contract the skillful cutter has shapec
it with his sharp knlle from Sheffield
and all these have found their re-
ward in a portion of our penny

WORKS OF CHARITY
Tfae Danger of Regarding Practical Uat
ten In a Sentimental Light
In all time people have been divided
into workers and dreamers practical
people and theorists those who did
tho work set before them and those
advised how it had best bo done
There is great danger at presents that
theorists will take tho place of work
ers There are many dangerous
theories set afloat by a tide of ill-conditioned
labor coming from foreign
lands O110 of the greatest dangers
we are prone to is to regard practical
matters in a sentimental light Thero
is an immense amount of sentimental
bosh prcachad and written Such mat
ters as these become of vital interest
to housekeepers and mothers through
out tho land when they find
false and sentimental theories
coming to their own households
and threatening to bring confusion
and wretchedness It has been open
ly preached that man alone should
work Such doctrines have taught
women laborers to look down upon
each other in proportion to their use
fulness and to do their work in an un
derhanded stealthy way as if it were
something they should bo ashamed of
There is no more dangerous enemy to
true womanhood than such a false
sentiment Work should be a glory
not a shame and no work can be woll
done unless the worker takes pride in
it In many parts of the country it is
impossible to get domestic service of
any kind and tho little help there is
is absorbed by the richer classes who
are forced to pay exorbitant wages
leaving tho wives of struggling pro
fessional men and practical farmers
without any servants
The relation our over liberal chan
ties bear to the help question ofifrrs
food for thought The good people
of New York are mad said tho sec
retary of a prominent charitable asso
ciation not long 12a I have been a
charity worker for more than twenty
years and I sincerely think it would
bo better if all private charities were
done away with We are teaching
people to be professional paupers
There is scarcely a church which does
not keep a list of persons whom it
helps supply with the means of living
An intelligent mis ionary who had
done church work for many years says
that she had frequently found elaborate
finery and expensive luxuries in fami
lies which she was directed to supply
with help I believe she added
that we should have a more thrifty
community and plenty of workers if
church charity was limited to children
and aged people who are una
ble to work It would bo in
teresting to know how many
able bodied persons who would
scorn to do a days washing
are now receiving help from charity
Onr British cjusins aw wiser in these
matters They rarely give money
but work by which tho applicant can
earn sufficient for her needs Charity
liko this docs not degrade the recip
ient
Children in whatever position in life
should b taught to respect any work
which they are called on to do No
mistress can properly direct the work
of her household if she docs not know
how to do it horself There is no
guarantee in Scripture for any senti
mental idea of womens work If
women were not Intended as much as

been differently arranged Until wo

NICE LAW POINTS
The nishts or the People to Water for th
Use of Towns and Cities
This question is ono that is destined
to becotuo increasingly prominent as
tho population increases the country
becomes more developed and tho
available supply of water in times of
scarcity becomes less and less This
subject is presented under tho head of
a Besourco for Cheap Water for tho
People in the last publication of tho
New England Water Works Associa
tion It seems that in at least two
States Massachusetts and Maine all
natural bodies of water of over ten
acres in area are legally styled Great
Ponds and havo always been public
property no private title approaching
nearer than low water mark Tho
Stato of Massachusetts has adopted tho
principlo of giving this water free to
municipalities requiring it Tho ar
gument by T M Stetson Esq sub
mitted at the time of the application
of Fall River for condemnation of the
water of Watuppa Ponds is given in
full in this paper It is based on two
propositions
L That the State owns the water in these
Great Ponds and may well give from It to
Its people without toll or payment
2 That any ancient licenses or privileges
heretofore allowed to parties to use control
and avail of the surplus waters after they pass
Into the outlet stream the Quequechan or
Pall river shall so tar as they legally may be
revoked or prevented from standing now In tho
way of the proposed gift from the State to its
people
The opponents of the application
held that they had a prior right from
continued use under a license given in
1826 but the argument states that tho
Supremo Court of the United States
had in three cases decided against tho
irrevocability of such licenses
The State had in 1847 consecrated
the Great Ponds to tho public for ever
and Justice Hoar upheld this in a writ
ten opinion stating There is no ad
judged caso in which any right in them
adverse to the public has ever been
recognized This same opinion
quotes from several other opinions as
follows
Riprarian owners on the stream own the uses
of the water that actually succeeds In getting
Into the stream but that is all
The use which every owner In a running
stream may claim Is only of the water whlcr
has entered into and become part of the
stream
The grant by the Legislature of an exclusive
right of the water power of a navigable strearx
does cot give title to the corpus of the water
Hence a subsequent grant to the district tc
erect water works to supply Its Inhabitants
with water is not in violation ot the previoui
grant of the water power
An npper owner has an unqualified right tc
drain his marsh and a neighboring proprietoi
can not complain of deprivation of watei
which would otherwise come to his land etc
Water taken from a pond before It could
reach the outlet never could be water flowing
from the pond
In short until water gets into a deuced
water course It has no relations with the ripa
rian owners along such water course The line
of demarkation ot the title Is at the point
where tbe water de facV leaves the great pond
acd enters the water course Till then It bo
longs to the State afterwards to the riparian
owners on the stream
Numerous other decisions are quoted
to show that no licensn by the State
can be held to bo irrevocable or to
withhold the State from exercising its
sovereignty should occasion arise
So in this case tho ancient policy
was to encourage mills but never at
the expense of the peoples thirst and
cleanliness
The bill that was passed last year in
in the caso of the city of New Bedford
provided for the taking and using ol
the waters of Little Quitticas pond
without liability for other damages
than the State itself would bo liable to
pay
The city of Worcester is now defend
ing a suit for diversion of water but
the testimony published is too meager
to give an intelligible statement of the
case It is well that all who are inter
ested in water works become fully ac
quainted with tho principles underly
ing such cases so clearly and ad
mirably stated in the ono before us

IMPURITIES IJi WATER
Immediate Discovery
lho various impurities which arc
found in drinking water may bo di
vided into three classes
L Mineral substances such as fino
clay aud sand which may produce
diarrhoea by their mechanical action
upon the intestines compounds of
lime and magnesia which constitute
hard water and are not especially
injurious the the sals of lead which
may produce lead palsy and lead colic
and tho various substances which
abound in the different minora waters
many of which are extensively used
for medicinal purposes
2 Decaying organic mater in solu
tion or minute particles derived from
dead leaves and wood rotten
fruit and vegetables decaying car
casses putrid meat kitchon garbage
and animal excrement These produce
irritation of tho whole alimentary
tract lessening vitality producing
certain low forms of fever diarrhea a 1
and other diseases and so weakening
the entire system as to leave it a ready
prey to disacascof whatover nature
8 Minute living organisms such
as lho ova of tape worms trichinte
and other cntozoa hydatids and other
animalculaj which when taken into
the human system give riso to cer
tain grave disorders and moro to bo
dreaded than all the rest the innumer
able multitudes of bacteria or ererros
of disease different members of which
produce diphtheria typhoid and
malarial fevers dysentery cholera
and other deally diseases These
germs abound in filthy water and
when taken into systems already do
bilitatcd by filth they find a fertilo
soil and favorable conditions for vigor
ous growth and rapid multiplication
Such being the dangers liable to fol
low tho drinking of impure water it
becomes tho duty of property owners
on tho one hand to provide an abun
dant supply of pure water with prop
er drainage and every facility for
maintaining its purity and of all ten
ants and boarders on the other hand
imperatively to demand that these
cssontials to good health be provided
and to rrfuso to endanger their lives
by putting up with tho lack of them
A simplo and convenient test for or
ganic impurities in water consists in
the use of a saturated Sblution of per
manganate of potassium sometimes
known as Condys fluid A few drops
of this In a glass of water produces a
beautiful purple roo color which if
organic matter is present in apprecia
ble quantity will give place in an
hour to a dirty reddish brown color
in which case the water is unfit for uso
for drinking purposes but if t10 color
remains unchanged the water is free
from dangerous organic impurities

FASHION IN POrtA
X Ciilm That Streaky Instead ot
rat
Steals are in General Demand
An English correspondent writes It
is rather hard upon our agriculturists
who havo for a long period used cvory
effort to produce out of a long cared
long legged hairy greyhound specios
of animal a pig resembling a ball of
hairless fat to bo told that thi3 animal
docs not suit the wants of their cus
tomers and that they must produce an
animal which has a great deal more
lean meat mixed with its fat
There can bo no doubt whatever that
the tasto of tho day has changed and
it will bo interesting to inquire into
the circumstancos which have brought
about this change in tho requirements
of tho population
Many years ago when I was staying
with the late Sir Henry Thompson in
Yorkshire ho told me that tho tnste of
the manufacturing population in his
district was changing very much
There was a time when the great de
mand was for very fat cotswold mut
ton but recently tho Down mutton
with more lean and less fat was in de
mand
Tho explanation ho gave for this
change was as follows Formerly the
fat chop was put into the frying pan
with potatoes and both were fried to
gether Lately however the artisan
population had become much better off
and took their fat in buttor and more
costly forms than mutton suet It is
from somewhat similar causes that tho
domand not only for pork and bacon
but also for beef and mutton in which
fat and lean arc more cvonly distrib
uted has of late years arisen It is
not by any means tho case that the de
mands of the population for fatty sub
stances have in any way decreased
but simply that thoy can obtain their
supplies in other and more palat ible
forms The agricultural laborer in
my time if he ate any meat at all with
his bread it was the fattest bacon he
could obtain and he rarely consumed
any other form of fat But this is all
changed now as he prefers moat with
less fat and takes his supply of fat ic
more palatable forms
Thero can be no doubt that buttorine
and the various forms of artificial but
ter have contributed largoly to this
altered state of tilings Tho farmers
in this country arc not altogether
blameless in having brought about this
unfortunate state of affairs as the
quality of the buttor supplied to our
large towns was far from being as good
as it ourht to be and the consumer
appears to prefc r a tasteless fat which
is supposed to be butter but it is not
to real butter which has more or less a
rank smell or taste
Tho more recent advice which the
farmer has received to meet the altered
condition of the pig industry is to con
vert tho lard into buttorine and so
compete with the foreigner in his own
trade How far such a courso wo tad
be permitted or if permitted would bo
successful I can not pretend to say
To produce so many pounds of lncrcaso
in a pig by the cheapest forms of food
which can be purchased is no longer
the main objoct
lo produce pork in which tho fat al
ternates with tho lean in regular layers
requires a different combination of
foods For laying on fat alone proba
bly no food is better than Indian corn
but for the other process a more nitro
genous diet is necessary and probably
skim milk with pea meal and rice or
barley would furnish tho desirable in
gredients
Many years ago whon wo were ex
perimenting on pigs we noticed that
tho more nitrogenous foods produced a
pig which grew more and the flesh of
which was in larger proportion to the
fat than was the caso with pigs fed
with foods containing less nitrogen but
we did not follow this subject further
as the taste of the day ran in tho direc
tion of very fat pork There can be no
doubt that the tendency to put on fat
in masses and without admixture of
lean has been developed in some breeds
of pigs so that give them what food
you please they will continue to fatten
It is important therefore to select pigs
which retain some of their old charac
teristics and by tho use of suitablo
A Simple and Convenient Test for Their I food I haVO no doubt that any OUQ can
produce the pork of the day on which
the consumers have set their hearts

PROPER CARE OF TOOLS
How Thousands of Dollars Are Wasted
by Careless Farmers
Farmers lose thousands of dollars ev
ery year by tho careless neglect of their
tools There is one farm in sight o
me that has 1200 or S1500 worth of
machinery lying around the barn yard
and much of it is out of repair besides
being badly eaten by rust This lot
embraces every thing from a reaper
down to a garden hoe On this same
fatm stand two large empty barns
besides various sheds I know from
experience that it is a task to clean up
and oil so many tools yet I find it pays
in tho long run My neighbors say I
have enough of farm implements on
my 20 acro gardon place to stock 100
acres
My tools consist of horse hoes hand
hoes horse and hand drills steel plows
and harrows besides many other im
plements used in gardening and all
these I keep cleaned and free froTt
rust I have my plows brought in eve y
night and rubbed off dry and set in tiie
barn out of thedewordamonesj Any
plow or tool not in constant use in the
ground I keep oiled with common box
axle grease In spring as soon as I
get through with a stirring plow 1
greaso it and put it away in a dry
place for tho fall plowing Then when
tho fall work is over tho tools arc
greased and put away for spring So
I treat every tool as fast as I got
through with it I uso coarse sand-paper
to clean off all rust if there is anj
before greasing The axle grease dur
ing winter will dry and harden on the
tools and it will bo some troublo to
clean it off in spring For this purpose
I use a mixture of turpentine and coal
oil rub well with this and let tho
plow stand over night and a few
furrows will scour it off clean
and if there should be any rust spots
they can soon be removed with coarse
sand paper I would like to see every
farmer who will make a team pull a
rusty plow have to plow one day with
one of his hand plows all rusted and
when it has been cleaned let him try it
awhile I think this would break him
of using rnsty plows It did me It is
tho same with hoes in fact tnerc is no
tool fit to work with when it is all eaten
up with rust There is not only the
great saviDg in lahor in keeping tools
clean but a great saving in expense
for a- tool taken care of will last for
jears while if left to lie around all
over the farm where last used repairs
will have to be made or new ones
must bo bought every spring F S
White in Rural New Yorker
We have heard Hiram Smith say
often remarks Hoards Dairyman that
in undertaking to make a tirst clas3
butter maker he had rather a hundred
times over take a young man or wo
man who never saw a pound of butter
than some farmer or his wife who had
made butter all th ir livc3 in tlioir
