The Umbria has 72 furnaces, tviiieh require nearly 350 tons of coal a ilay, at a cost of almost 820,000 £>er voyige. "One hundred and four men are employed to man the furnaces, and they have enough, to do. They include the ;hief engineer, Lis three'assistants, and Liinety stoke rs and coal passers.

Henry George, the well known writer1 on political econ""" tt-oc r>/vrv>ivi.-ifn;! l\V t.llA TVvinor ITill] Democrats. The Tammany Democrats nominated Abram S. Hewitt, whose services'in the campaign of 1876, and for some terms in Congress, have made him prominent-in tiro- party. The Kopnblicans nominated Theo. Roosevelt-, a wealthy young man who distinguished himseif in his three years' service in the State Legislature by active efforts and great success in reforming Jong-standiug abuses: -in. the Government of New - York fiitv. Fow t>ersons seriouslv thought fcliafc Henry George -would be elected, but that lie miglit receive votes enough to make the contest elose between other candidates. It-was thought his votes would be drawn principally from the Democrats. Both Democrats and Republicans were confident uf success. The probabilities.' however appeared to be in favor of Hewitt's election. Of the Mugwump papers,-the Post has vigorously supported Roosevelt. Eighteen out Df twenty-four aldermen elected are Democrats. The city complete, with t!>e Deception of one election district, shows the. following vote: Roosevelt 00,392, Hlwift George 67,CD?;- ^ardwell 574.

' Tve^-been across the ocean idore times! than I carp to. toll, anil I knov.^ London almost as "well as I do Philadelphia, Lat I have never been in Northern Europe be- i'ore this summer," said ex-Attorney General Brewster to a Philadelphia; Times reporter. "I left Here on tlie 12th oi' June and arrived in London on the 21st. I -went up to Hull on the 23rd, and on tlie 24th I joined the ship Angelo, and after a very smooth and pleasant passage arrived at Christian sand, in Xorway, on the following Sunday. It's a very interesting old place. I went to church there. It's a clean, nice style of Norwegian town. The people are very quiet, nicely behaved, plain and simple. Monday was passed in Christiania, a town of considerable importance. I siayed there one dav and went by rail up x :m j.1. . X' K> iJlfOIlllJCIU, LiiU Uili CUpitill Ui. way, which at one time was the largest and "wealthiest town in Norway. It had at one time. many monasteries and churches. I was there three days. In Throndjein is the cathedral in all Norway. It was founded in 1016 by St. Olaf, and on the ground where he ^was buried the present building was erected in 1151 and completed in 1210, and was enlarged m ioUU. 'i'lie catneurai is a very interesting work of gotliic arelii- tectare.. It was damaged three' or four centimes ago by lire, and in .rebuilding ft large walls' were erected, winch changed the architectural appearance of the structure.v It is now being restored with very much pains and care. There was an annual fair beirg held in Throndjem while I* was there, and it was filled with specimens of farmers and working people. It was held in an open street. It was quite crowded, and everything was orderly and quiet, and all of the people appeared to be comfortable, well dressed, sturdy, vigorous and simple in their ways, and a very lionest people. The fair was lield lyr business and friendly intercourse. All the time I was in Norway I saw no dirty poverty, no beggars, no tramps or idle, worthless people. The farms all appeared to be thoroughly taken care of. Everything around the house was kept in good order. Farms were in perfect condition. The houses -were clean and comfortable, and small and unpretending. All the women are plain looking but vers- vigor- pus, and they are quiet and clean and mild in their ways. They look as if they were exposed to hard work, and they have a healthy, comfortable, satisfied look. The men had a sturdy, manly-, look. They look like people who have no wealth and they appeared to be all on a social level. There seemed to be no ; distinction between them, but they wear au aii- of independence. I-saw no drunken people there and heard no noisy people. It-is a very peaceful place. Throndjem is "built of wooden houses, good broad streets, well paved, and has plenty of : good shops. > The suh reaches its uppermost point j on the-1st of June. I got in Throndjem at 7 o'clock in the morning on the 29th of June. There was no night. It was broad daylight at midnight. There was scarcely any darkness. The sun ; shone night and day. The people went , to bed regularly at an early hour, with ; the sun shining, and' closed their shut- ters and jralled down their curtains and \ slept, and tie town vqs as quiet as if tlie ^ night was totally dark. After leaving Throhdjein I took a ship named after 1 some ancient Norwegian king, and in [ company with fifty or sixty other tourists, all people of respectability and intelligence, and men from' different nations.

Is it better to break up land before Christmas, or wait until spring? Mr. David Dickson, of Hancock county, a wonderfully close observer, states as the i result of liis experience, that fall plough- J mg gave best results in about, one year out of seven. "When the "winter is dry and colli, fall plowed land grew better crops than spring plowed. ZNIrl Dickson tested the matter by leaving strips through, the middle o£ 1'aii plowed fields, which strips yere not broken till spring. | Ma L>;eKsou r, experience was a xocai one; iviE it hold good for all climates and soils? fiie prime object of plowing land is to loosen up tlie soil, to make it friable, so :Hat gases may jjenetrate it, and roots ruay grow and ramify and spread through .t readily. Why docs land liavc to be broken every year?. Once loosened up by lie plow, why does it not stay loose? Becadse it is beaten down and ran toother by rains. Every rain drop hampers it down, and the earth, semi-iiuid .vhen wet, yields readily to this hammer- 1 jug. Moreover, th.;j rain water, as it < auks in the soil carries down with it the < iiiur particles (particularly clay)- ami ; .odges them between tlic coarser particlcs i >cIow. This also, tends to consolidate 1 lie soil. 1 Xow at the south our greatest rainfalls 1 ire iu winter and early spring.

Cinehonidine consists of 19 parts carbon, 22 parts Jiydrogen, Sports nitrogen and 1"^ part oxygen: quinine contains 20 parts of carbon, 24 parts hydrogen, 2 parts nitrogen and '£ parts oxygen. Ji ue pro mem uas been with chemists to add 1 pari carbon, 2 f purts hydrogen and 1 part oxygen. They > have not been successful in this endeavor, There is nothing wonderful in the claim that quinine could be made from other things than the bark. "Fruit essences are now made without fruits, and other items of chemical stock are made chemically without the interven- ! lion of the usual natural product. Yet the medical world was disturbed last Semtem-'' her when Dr. Cresswell Hewitt, of London, announced that he had discovered a process to make quinine. He made no effort to r>sf.ih1isli this claim or submit his oroduct tc test; but 1 have just received a letter from. $ London telling of tlie formation of a com-") pany to manufacture the drug on Dr. Hewitt's process. Hejstill keeps all particulars : to himself, audit is not known whether the cinchona bark is the basis.of his process, or . from what he manufactures the drug. The company is called the Atlas Quinine Company, and I am informed has large capital, if Hewitt has discovered what he claims he will have made us independent;of the '* irregular supply from the countries where the trees grow that produce the bark,.and ' while the price of the drug may not be1 ma-1 teriallv reduced it will not rise in time of war in those countries. Then, too, his success will stimulate other chemists to exper- I imcnts looking to the manufacture of other drugs without reliance on the natural product. Morphine may be made .from something other thanopjum^etc. It, however. remains to be seen what Br. -Hewitt has really accomplished."' :5S.i The Editorial of the Future.-. : The days ot editorial essays m a daily ' paper have passed, and what is now wanted } are short, snappy expressions, of opinion, sharp and directly*to the point, without-.~ proloxity. It is a great thing for a youDgiA;* writer to learn to stop when he gets through, J a lesson which some older writers .who have been fairly successful have never , learned. Long editorials are more fre- " quentJv a ?-ign of laziness than of ability. ' Ox course tllere are some subjects which. require exhaus' /e treatment, but under ordin&'rv circumstances lona: editorials are written because the editor has neither the : time nor the brains to write short ones. Thf >hort editorial, the concise clearly ,x written article, will go to make up the moJel paper of the future. Punctured "by paragraph is more than an alliterative conceit. The paragraph is the most £orm- * Ktaoie weapon m me cauors arsenal, ana liie long editorial is the least effective. Old. fogies may speak with admiration of die "thoughtful"' writer who turns the long newspaper columns, but the man who will weild real inliucnee is he who can put his "thmisrht" in :i few oithv -entenees. Ver- biatre has had its day, and in the best papers ? brains are slowly taking its place..Tlt& Journalist.

"How loug'uo stokers live?'' asked a |Tribune rf-]>orter. of an engineer of one joi the swiftest ocean racers that ply be-1twecn lUis countrj; and Eoglaiid.

large, air pipe that reaches down into theL-entre oi tiic stoicers quarters, ami on

employed to man the furnaces, and theyhave enough, to do. They include the;hief engineer, Lis three'assistants, andLiinety stoke rs and coal passers.The stoker comes on to work wearing ]

It was held in an open street.It was quite crowded, and everythingwas orderly and quiet, and all of thepeople appeared to be comfortable, welldressed, sturdy, vigorous and simple intheir ways, and a very lionest people.The fair was lield lyr business andfriendly intercourse. All the time I wasin Norway I saw no dirty poverty, no

beggars, no tramps or idle, worthlesspeople. The farms all appeared to bethoroughly taken care of.

All thewomen are plain looking but vers- vigor-pus, and they are quiet and clean andmild in their ways. They look as if theywere exposed to hard work, and theyhave a healthy, comfortable, satisfiedlook. The men had a sturdy, manly-,look. They look like people who haveno wealth and they appeared to be all ona social level. There seemed to be no ;distinction between them, but they wearau aii- of independence.

(From the Atlanta Cor-siituUon.)Is it better to break up land before

Christmas, or wait until spring? Mr.David Dickson, of Hancock county, a

wonderfully close observer, states as the iresult of liis experience, that fall plough- Jmg gave best results in about, one yearout of seven. "When the "winter is dryand colli, fall plowed land grew bettercrops than spring plowed. ZNIrl Dicksontested the matter by leaving stripsthrough, the middle o£ 1'aii plowed fields,which strips yere not broken till spring. |Ma L>;eKsou r, experience was a xocai one;iviE it hold good for all climates and soils?fiie prime object of plowing land is toloosen up tlie soil, to make it friable, so:Hat gases may jjenetrate it, and rootsruay grow and ramify and spread through.t readily. Why docs land liavc to bebroken every year?. Once loosened up bylie plow, why does it not stay loose?Becadse it is beaten down and ran tootherby rains. Every rain drop hampersit down, and the earth, semi-iiuid.vhen wet, yields readily to this hammer- 1

jug. Moreover, th.;j rain water, as it <

auks in the soil carries down with it the <

Mrs. Stewart always called her lmsband"Honey", and lie always called her"My dear."' ...

Now that the millionaire and hiswidow have passTed from earth it is .saidthey never spoke harshly to each other,but"always lived a devoted and happypair.

Mrs. Stewart survived her "husbandten vears and six months. Her death!was comparatively painless. The funeraltook place Thursday. At one o'clockthere was a private service at the beautifulmarble palacc. The remains weretaken to Garden City and the serviceswere held in the Cathedral of the Incarnationwhich was erected through Mrs.Stfitrnrf's After«/»> _

vices the remains were deposited in thecrypt under the altar and elaborate precautionswill:bc taken to guard against adesecration of the grave. :

The death of Mrs. Stewart arouses afresh interest in the husband. One ofthe remarkable things about AlexanderX. Stewart was the brevity of his will, *

It would occupy, only four or li /e inchesand ho disposed of fifty or sixty milliondollars in less than five lines. Said he: 1

i.^Hrst.All my proj^erty and estate,j! any and every kind of description,xnd wherever situated, I &ive and deviseind bequeath to my dear wife, CorneliaM. Stewart, her heirs and assigns forsver."

Tkerc Trere a number of legacies.-to.rarious friends, employes and servantsn the household.When the death of Mr. Stewart was'

nade public Mrs. Stewart was consid-^red t.he richest woman in the United *

state's. When the bequest of all lier, .

lusband's property to lier was publishedn the daily papers the enormous burden -

raton her aged shoulders was universalybelieved to be greater than she couldiustain.

inil under various names are used by phvsiiansmore than any other drugs," said jbr.

3. >1. Wlielpiey, editor of the NationalUragfjixt, in a conversation with a reporter."Chemists have for several years said it-rft'as possible to make quinine chemically,;nd tlie world of those interested has beenwaiting for some one to do it. In 1S82 afrenchman announced lie liao. aiscoverea[be process, and deposited a sample of; Ms.'quinine' with the Frencli Institute. Onj.vuniualion it proved to bo sulphate of ammoniainstead of sulphate of quinine. Mostof the experiment has been directed towardmaking quinine of cinehonidine, which ismade from the same hark, but "is of lesservalue and is cheaper than quinine. 'Chemicallythere is little difference between them.Cinehonidine consists of 19 parts carbon,22 parts Jiydrogen, Sports nitrogen and 1"^part oxygen: quinine contains 20 parts ofcarbon, 24 parts hydrogen, 2 parts nitrogenand '£ parts oxygen. Ji ue promem uas

been with chemists to add 1 pari carbon, 2 f

purts hydrogen and 1 part oxygen. They >

have not been successful in this endeavor,There is nothing wonderful in the claimthat quinine could be made from otherthings than the bark.

"Fruit essences are now made withoutfruits, and other items of chemical stockare made chemically without the interven- !lion of the usual natural product. Yet themedical world was disturbed last Semtem-''her when Dr. Cresswell Hewitt, of London,announced that he had discovered a processto make quinine. He made no effort tor>sf.ih1isli this claim or submit his oroducttc test; but 1 have just received a letter from. $London telling of tlie formation of a com-")

pany to manufacture the drug on Dr. Hewitt'sprocess. Hejstill keeps all particulars :to himself, audit is not known whether thecinchona bark is the basis.of his process, or .

from what he manufactures the drug. Thecompany is called the Atlas Quinine Company,and I am informed has large capital,if Hewitt has discovered what he claimshe will have made us independent;ofthe '*

irregular supply from the countries wherethe trees grow that produce the bark,.and '

while the price of the drug may not be1ma-1teriallv reduced it will not rise in time ofwar in those countries. Then, too, his successwill stimulate other chemists to exper- Iimcnts looking to the manufacture of otherdrugs without reliance on the naturalproduct. Morphine may be made .fromsomething other thanopjum^etc. It, however.remains to be seen what Br. -Hewitthas really accomplished."'

:5S.iThe Editorial of the Future.-. :

The days ot editorial essays m a daily '

paper have passed, and what is now wanted }are short, snappy expressions, of opinion,sharp and directly*to the point, without-.~proloxity. It is a great thing for a youDgiA;*writer to learn to stop when he gets through, J

a lesson which some older writers .whohave been fairly successful have never ,

learned. Long editorials are more fre- "

quentJv a ?-ign of laziness than of ability. '

Ox course tllere are some subjects which.require exhaus' /e treatment, but underordin&'rv circumstances lona: editorials arewritten because the editor has neither the :

time nor the brains to write short ones.Thf >hort editorial, the concise clearly ,x

written article, will go to make up themoJel paper of the future. Punctured "by

paragraph is more than an alliterativeconceit. The paragraph is the most £orm- *

Ktaoie weapon m me cauors arsenal, analiie long editorial is the least effective. Old.fogies may speak with admiration of die"thoughtful"' writer who turns the longnewspaper columns, but the man who willweild real inliucnee is he who can put his"thmisrht" in :i few oithv -entenees. Ver-biatre has had its day, and in the best papers ?brains are slowly taking its place..Tlt&Journalist.
