While the husbandman furrows his land and prepares for ; every one his daily bread the town artisan, far away, weaves the stuff in which he is to be clothed, the miner seeks underground the iron for his plow, the soldier defends him against the invader, the judge takes care that the law protects his fields, the tax comptroller adjusts his private interests with those of the public, the merchant occupies himself in exchanging his products for those of distant countries, the men of science and art add every day a few horses to this ideal team, which draws along the material world as steam impels the gigantic trains of our iron roads. Thus all unite together, all help one another. The toil of each one benefits hlmscif and all the world. The work has been apportioned among the different members of the whole society by a tacit agreement If In this apportionment errors are committed, if certain individuals have not been employed according to their capacities, these defects of detail diminish in the sublime conception of the whole. The poorest man included in this association has his place, his work, his reason for being there. Each is something in the whole.—Emile Souvestre. Within the last few weeks the greater part of the necessary machinery has been installed in the first American linen mill at North Brookfield, Mass. Heretofore it has been impossible to manufacture linen in the United States, owing to the great cost of labor by European methods. The Oxford Linen mill at North Brookfield will operate under the Mudge process, which accomplishes in twelve hours what takes at least sixteen weeks by old world methods. Other Oxford mills will be . equipped as rapidly as possible, and . large profits are anticipated from this new undertaking. The Mudge process covers the whole work of reclaiming ’ the linen fiber from the flax straw, degumming, bleaching and finishing
