The Influence of Manufacturers.
The old-time theory that a manufac-
turing town must necessarily {lack cul-
ture and good society still lingers,
though in a decadent stltelin some parts
of the country,’,but hasgalmost entirely
disappeared from New England and
other manufacturing lcenters. The
Lewiston (Me. )Journal says it formerly
heard that lament uttered as if no great-
er social misfortune could happen to a
place than the acquisitionfof machinery,
but it is seldom heard nowadays, when
every town is reaching for more wheels;
when it is recognized: that industry
makes the best societyfland when the
manufacturing town is often the college
town. Three of thel prominent manu-
facturing cities of Maine are college
towns, each having an oldjand honored
institution of learning with a long list
of distinguished alumni.
Gov. Lippitt, of Rnode Island, re-
cently delivered in New York an 3:”—
dress on “The Influence of Manufac-
tures on Wealth and3;Popular Intel-
ligence,” which is attracting, and well
merits wide attention.,’|’1‘he Governcr
of the little State that has one great
manufacturing city—a cityfithat' is the
seat of a university—and the rest of
whose territory is dotted all over with
Iactory villages, declaresZIth-tt “every
manufacturing establishment is a col-
lege.” The nursow definition oi edu-
cation, as given by early educators, he
says, is not the meaning of the word as
it should be, and is understood today.
He continues that there is no way in
whicha man can acquire the special
education fitting him as nothing else-
can,for certain lines of usefulnts , so
well as in a mill or..shop..- And be: sub-
mits that it is throughl'the knowledge
and skill thus acquired, by the minds
thus developed, and the faculties tLus
drilled and refined, that have come do
great discoveries and inVentions which
have done most for the :physical aLd
moral welfare of the peoples of the
earth.
In South America, G)“: Lippitt
points out, there is not a single manu!
iacturing nation. Africa is similarly
situated. In Asia the} same rule (I)-
tains, except in those portions of ti at
vast continent that {have'ficome under
control of Europeanjnations. He men-
tions Japan as a possible exception, be-
cause, side by side with _the. victories
that she has gained SoverZher ancient
enemy, Cnina, come accounts of her
succ sees in manufacturing.
The manufacturing continent of the
world is, of course, Europe.3Measure
the Eu‘opean nations by manufactures
and the order is England,!France. Ger-
many, Russia,Italy, Spain. That tie
importance of nations] is indicated by
. manufactures is illustrated by a com-
parison of the wealth of these countries
which Gov. Lippitt gives as follows:
United Kingdom.......... $45,746,000,000
France ......................... 41,843, 000.000
Germany ................... . . 31,326,000,000
Russia. . ; ....................... 24,766,000,000'
Italy . .................. . ....... . 14,412,000, 000
Spain ............................ 12,244, 000,000
Reversing the positions of France
and Germany and we find that the re-
lation between these nations is in the
order of the value of their manufactures.
England stands first, the richest nation
of Europe, her wealth exceeding that of
Germany and Italy c )mbined
But manufacturing} supremacy indi-
cates more than wealth. 1G0v. Lippitt
asserts that it is alsogaz measure of in-
telligence. He shows that inlthe United
Kingdom, France, andl Germany, the
number of people in a hundred able to
write varies from eighty-five to ninety.
six. In'Russia, Italy, and: Spain the
number falls from fifteen to:forty-seven.
It is an incontrovertible fact that the
policy which has developedjand fostered
manufactures in the United:States—the
establishment and maintenance of the
patent system and} protective duties—
has been as conducive :to intellectual
and moral as to material growth. The
.. periods of our greatest progress infedu-
cation and science, the periods when
, the churches and the schools have on-
joyed their highest prosperity, have
been coincident with thelyears and dr-
osdes of protection and our, greatest
advancement in manufactures. I

ABOUT THE EAR.
In many deaf and dumb asylums the
inmates are called to dinner by the use
of a. drum. All know when it is being
beaten. ‘
Among many tribes of Africans, the
bored holes in the ears are so large that
a. stick an inch in diameter can be thrust
through.
Many deaf persons can hearmusic dis-
tinctly by placing one end of a. cane
upon the piano and holding the other
to the teeth.
The ear of the American Indian is
generally large and not well-shaped, in
this respect closely resembling that of
the Mongolian.
The tympanum of a whale’s ear lies
at the end of a long, narrow, bony tube.
The hearing of this animal is almost. pre-
ternatunally acute. .
In the United States, Great Britain
and France, there are 179 institutions
for the benefit of the deaf, having 1,200
teachers and 12,500 pupils. 4,
The number of public day schools in
the United States for the benefit of the
deaf and dumb is 12, with 46 instructors
and 418 pupils. A
STATE NICKNAMES.
South Carolina is called the “Pal-
metto state,” either from the. abundance
of that plant, which grows to great per—
fection in its semi-tropical climate, or
from the appearance of a. representation
of the palmetto in the state arms.
Iowa almost from the date of its ad-
mission has been called the “Hawkeye
state.” Hawkeye was the name of a
noted Indian chief, who, in the early
days, caused no little trouble along the
western border of American civiliza-
tion. _
Indiana is called the “Hoosier state.”
The origin of the word hoosier is veiled
in obscurity, but the most reasonable
conjecture is that it was derived from
the word “husher,” formerly used in
the western states to indicate an over-
bearing person or bully.
North Carolina in colonial days was
called the “The Old North Colony,” and
the name, with state instead of colony,
has been retained to the present time.
It has also been called “Turpentine
state,” from the importance of this
article in the list of its exports.
TO ADORN FAIR WOMEN.
Tailor-made costumes arge now
trimmed with broad and square-woven
braid, which, in either black or white,
looks very well on the gowns made of
the new silver-gray.
The fashionable wedding gift for the
groom to make. the bridesmaids is a
pendant. watch in enamel to match the
toilets. Bouquets are replaced by
baskets of spring blossoms or uncon—
ventional posies of old-fashioned fiow-
ers hanging loose.
Louis Seize coats are to be in evi-
dence this summer. One belle has made
her appearance in one of chocolate-
brown cloth with facings of fine white
cloth, trimmed with onyx buttons. A
rich brocade waistcoat of antique pat-
tern gives a. smart finish.
The well-dressed woman attaches as
much importance to small belongings
x
as to gowns. Umbrellas this scasonnre .
not so fnntnst-ical as they have been and
are as a re=u1t .handusomer. They are
- mounted ii: tula. or silver, sometimes
oxidized. Plain cheery-wood sticks are
also esteemzd. '
SWORD AND GUN.
The German army uses 137,000,000
blank cartridges 2). year.
The “five nations of Europe" own
2,310 war ships, mounting 883$!) guns,
all ready for "immediate service.”
The greatest proportionate loss of of-
ficers to men in any battle was at the
capture of Redan, where three officers
were lost to every 21 men.
Since the Cuban war began the
colonial debt of the island has been in-
creased by $305,551,950. The previous
debt was $163,551,950, making a total of
$468,552,025.
Sir Frederick Carrington, who sailed
