Small metal articles usually worn by Indies or gt'ntlrmeu which of late were principally wade of silver are now lie ing manufactured of Iron orMrel. This fail lias become very popular in France and Germany, and quite un industry in these article ho grown up in the luanuiuctureiog centers of these voun- ries. ,MaWJi safes, key-ringii and chains, knife blades, srissors, button liook handles, cigarette ciLse, powder boxes and any number of articles of this description arc now made of iron. They are flint stamped or wrought out of tne sheet metal, then very carefully polished and cleansed with lienzine, after which they are subjected to a treatment which gives the articles a permanent black color. This black col oring is appliod by a concentrated so lution of nitrate of copper in alcohol while the articles are lieing slightly heated. By mixing nitrate of copper with nitrate of muiganese, various tints between blue-black and a brownish black may 1 obtained. This process is used in the. great industrial establish ments of Pforzheim and Adar with much suceess. Particular cane must be taken that the object to be. tinted black is finely polished and absolutely clean, otherwise flaws will occur in the coloring. After being allowed to dry for a few hours, the black iron articles are covered with a very thin film of varnish or simply rirbbed off with a waxed brush. NORWEGIAN THRIFT.

"The next morning I see them having .mother live-minutes' smoke, and these cigars nettially last for over two days, lieing taken in homeopathic doses at. in tervals of about two hours.

It is also required that we procure statistics as to the amonnt or lime rook aad the cost of same and the cost of fuel, and aside from this we must know the number of acres of land which each farmer oun and will plant to beets provided we secure the factory. It is expected that there will be good speaking upon tne subject ot beet culture. San Fkascisi-o, April 30, 197. A. S. Buton, Bsq., Medford Oro. Dkar Sir: You have not heard from 'me for some time, which will probably lead you to think that my enthusiasm in the great undertaking beet oulture has weakened. I can assure you inat tms is not tne case by a great deal. You would have heard from mo more often, but my health for the present, does not permit. I 'am ailing with ner vous prostration. My physician has forbidden me, under strict or ders, attending to correspondence on any business whatsoever. Last Monday I received Tub Mkdkukd Mail; noted in one of the items that three hundred pounds of beet seed are sprouting and growing in Jack son county. That was such good news to me that on 'Tuesday I mus tered up all my energy, took Tins Mail and went up to show that item to the Western Beet Sugar Company. I got there in time to meet the secretary, Mr. Sheldon, and when I showed the gentleman the item he was well pleased and went into another room to see Mr. Spreokels. When be returned, a few minutes later, Mr, Spreckels was with him And I could easily see that they were pleased with the information the item conveyed. I talked quite at length with Mr. S., during which conversation I re- nvnded him ot tne tact that seven or .eight years ago, when he gave me seed to send to Jackson county to plant, be bad promised to visit Jackson county and see the growing beets. I told him that now wag when we need bis presence in the great Rogue river valley, Now is tne time wnen he can see 300 pounds of beet seed growing. and dUU producers cultivating tb&m lie replied that be could not visit in person but that be would send Mr. Vawters, bis representative at Watsonville, if he could possibly spare tne time, ana ne instructed Air. bneldon to make a note of the arrangement and he would notify me when Mr. vawters could get away. Mr. bbeldoni asked to keep that copy of Thk Mail, also asked me to furnisb bim with copy of the paper each week tha; he might keep informed as to the pro gross that was being made in the cultivation and growth of the beets. You can see by the above that by the little straws the big winds are made to blow. I am confident, as l always nave been, teat wben we can raise beets in sufficient quantity, and quality, there will be no trouble in procuring a sugar factory the maim thing is the cultivation. ., The importance of thorough cul tivation was made yery apparent to me by Mr. spreckels wben he re lated that on ground equal in qua! ity and ntness for beet culture at Watsonville one ' farmer raised eighteen tons of beets to the acre while another only raised six tons to tbe acre. I be reason be gave was that one cultivated bis ground well and understanding while the other did not. Let us hope the people of the Rogue river valley will see that it is to their best interests to cultivate the land tbe very best they know how, and prove to the world that we can excel in sugar beet culture, L. C. Coleman. From the above it oan be seen that Mr. Coleman is deine bis share of work at the San Francisco end of this big enterprise whioh we have but just started upon. The fact that be has gained an audience with Mr. Spreckels and his associ ates is evidence mat bears to our good, because that men of the busi ness capacity of Mr. SpreckelB do not give a hearing to matters which they consider trivial. Mr. Spreokels lias made money irom the inanu faoture of sugar but while this hss been oolns on tho farmers who grow the beets have made money in about tne same proportion, considering the capital invented. Mr, 8, has proven that he had an intorest in establishing a refinery in Southern Orogon in yer agone, whioh .inter-. est whs not appreciated at that time, but right now our people are fully aroused to the importance of the enterprise and in behalf of those farmers , who are now cultivating beets Thb Mail feels safe in assur ing the gentleman that hia efforts in our' well-being will be fully valued, and if be wil show us the way, or make the way himself, by which we can establish a faotory in tbe valley bis name wilt be engraved in every none as a benefactor who come to our suocor when we most needed it.
