Y. Tribune, written from Lye "Waste, "Worcestershire. Eng land, says : This region of country is located part in tho county of Stafford and part in that of "Worcester. The distriot is badly drained; not lighted except by the flames of the furnaces and forges. It is said that about 2,000 persons are engaged in this dismal district making nails and rivets. Though within seven miles of the great and prosperous city of Birming ham, no one seems to know or care about this army of men, women, young girls and children con demned to a life of wretched sla very. The district itself has aptly been described as a grimv chaos. Huge mounds of black and dirty -vrhite rubbish; melancholy asses cropping the sparse, shriveled herb age on the banks of worked-out pits; stagnant pools, spreading like dead seas between the jum bled, natural and artificial hills; cinder-strewn meadows threaded by filthy foot-paths ending at smutty stiles; higii roads fringed with a wear' continuity of dingy red-brick houses, in the midst of which a yellow-washed house looks almost as pure as a lily; small boys clustered on the roads, kicking and punching and bespat tering their smaller feminine ac quaintances; bigger ones loafing around the little dingy public houses; narrow, ragged hedged lanes, leading nowhere in particu lar, pit-failed with inky puddles through which unwashed, unshav en, heavy-booted men flounder and splash, with their hands in their coat pockets, and vicious looking dogs cowering at their heels; jaundiced canals crowded with lanky black barges; sloping tramways, almost obliterated by gritty, viscous black mud; crossing and converging railways, with roadside stations that look like recently emptied soot-warehouses; gibbeted black colliery wheels; dilapidated engine houses and cottages sinking, on one side, into the undermined earth; dingy red and clay-colored cones and domes, iron works furnaces and chimneys of all kinds, sending up smoke and flames. Tiiis is no ex aggerated picture of what I saw in my walk, which began at Dud ley, and thence via. Nctherton, Rowley, Regis, Cradley, Stour bridge, through this dismal place, and back to Halesowen. The inhabitants of this desolate district. are among the most indus trious, and yet the most wretched in England. They are engaged in making all sorts of nails, rivets and chains. The work is done in lktic "smithies" attached to the hovels in which the workers re side, and for which the usual rent seems to be about 2s. 4d. to 2s. Gd. a week a trifle over 50 cents. These houses, as a rule, contain little or no furniture. They are filthy and wretched beyond de scription. What spare time the unhappy nailer's wife gets from nursing the babj and preparing the meager meals, is spent in the smithy fire, pounding away at the anvil until lato'at night. But the extra, work that the woman does, combined with that of one child say a girl of 14: will barely keep die family from starvation. For example: An expert nailer, work ing steady from Mondav merning: to Friday night, can only make two and one-half bundles of iron rods into nails, for which he gets Cs. 74 d. per bundle, or, for his week's work, lGs. Sd. exactly 4. Now. his vife, by working every moment of her spare time and late into the night neglecting the wretched little children can make a bundle of common nails, for which she is paid 3s. Id., and the little half-starved, stunted girl of fourteen, with her brown arms, and steady, uurring aim, will hammer out half a bundle, Is. 6 d. Iri'this way mothers,- daughters and mere children toil and slave on from year to year indeed, one sum told me nails bad been made here for over u century in this way. How they exist is a mystery to me. The London 8ta.7ida.rd has dared to speak out on the condition of labor in the Black Country, and when the paper makes the following state menr, I can say that it actually accords with some of the horrible facts which have come within my observation during my stay in this dismal regien: "Women within a few days of their confinement have been known to work in the agon' of exhaustion in order to earn a few pence at the 'hearth1 not the 'hearth' of home, but the hearth of the 'forge;' they have been known to return to work in a day or two after childbirth, emaciated in constitution weak and weary from the want of simple nourishment. Their chil dren, ragged and ill-led, have had to lead miserable and wretched lives, with no hope before them but a life of wickedness and vice." Odors on Milk. The London 3WI; Journal cites instances where milk that has stood a short time in the presence of persons sick with the typhoid fever, or been handled by parties before they are quite recovered from the small-pox, has spread those diseases as effectually as if the persons themselves had been present. Scarlatina, measles and other contagious diseases have been spread in the same way. The peculiar scent of a cellar is indeliby impressed upon all the butter made from milk standing! in it. A few puffs from a pipe or J cigar will scent all the milk in aj room, and a smoking lamp will do j the same. A pail of milk stand- ing ten minutes where it will take, the scent of a strong-smelling sta-, ble, or any other odor, will imbibe '. a taint that will never leave it. A j maker of gilt-edged butter objects j to cooling warm milk in the room i where his milk stands for the cream to rise, because he sa?s the odor escaping from the new milk while cooling is taken in by the other milk and retained, to the in jury of his butter. This may seem like descending to sm.tll things, but it must be remembered that it is the sum of such little things that determines whether the pro- j ducts of the dairy are to be sold J at cost or below, or as a high priced luxury. If milk is to be converted into an article of the latter class it must be handled and kept in clean and sweet vessels, and must stand in pure, fresh air, j such as would be desirable and healthy for persons to breath'. C. Widemann communicates u new method of making an iuvisi- J ble ink to Die 2Fatur. To make the writing or drawing appear which has been made upon paper with the ink, it is sufficient to dip it into water. On drj'ing, the traces disappear again, and reap pear by each succeeding immer sion. The ink is made by inti mately mixing linseed oil, 1 part; water of ammonia 20 parts; water, 100 parts. The mixture must be agitated each time before the pen is dipped into it, as a lit tle of the oil may separate and float on top, which would leave an oily stain upon the paper. Three Conquered. Three seems to be the number of fortune and progress. The third effort wins, and the follow ing as related by Mr. M. E. Dodge, Belfast, Me., is no exceptien: 1 had a person in my employ last wiuter who was badly afflicted with acute rheumatism. He ap plied many different remedies without obtaining an' relief, un til I bought him a bottle of the Great German Reined', St. Ja cobs Oil. After applying three bottles of the Oil,he was complete ly cured and has never been troubled with rheumatism since. It beats all the remedies I ever saw or heard of. As Spring -nith its change of weath er creates a revolution in tho very bowels of the earth, so does Pfunrler'a celebrated Oregon Blood Purifier cre ate the desired change in the human system. Send in your orders either direct to Pf under & Co., or any wholesale house in Portland. Brace up the whole system with King of the Blood. See Advertisement Gathering and Drying Tea In Japan. Tea gathering is commenced in May. Girls are employed, at an average of five cents a day, from sunrise to sunset. The sprig of leaves is nipped off carefully with the finger nails and deposited in a basket; and other servants carry these b:iskets as they are filled, to the tea planter's house and neces sary out-houses. Here other em ployes spread them out on large palm mats and here the first and only adulteration essayed by the tea planter is executed. Having decided the percentage of ex hausted leaves to mix with his fresh leaves these are put also on the mats. The drying is in the open air and in the sunlight. That having been completed, the next operation is the curling. To effect this the dried leaves are poured into open cast-iron recep tacles over a charcoal furnace be neath of accurately graded heat. Sufficient laborers are placed around these pans to constantly take in their hands the leaves as they become heated and to roll them. "When the curling is done the leaves arc packed in coarse, cheap boxes, freighted to the nearest tea market and there sold to foreign tea dealers. Every foreigner keeps a special variety of tea-taster, who has to tell the quality of the fresh leaf and to make a guess at the amount of leaves that have already done service.
