A. Workingmen’s Co-Operative Society.

The concentration of population in the manufacturing districts of England is pasi belief til) one has seen some such a center as Leeds. Here the British workman may be seen at his best and at his worst. His liberal patronage of the ginshop, and his love for the gentle bull-pup, have been a fertile theme for official pens. It is'more agreeable to report-whatlie has done to help himself, to organize his idle shillings into a federal union of dividends and to'teach himself and children sobriety and thrift. , i v-r. Here is a tangible expression of Yorkshire common sense—a handsome fourstory block of stores, splendid in plate giass, carved stonework, and architectural display—the stores of the “Leeds Indus-' trial Co-operative Society, Limited,” Albion street, Leeds. It maybe Saturday afternoon—a half holiday in the mills—apd the streets swarm with work-people of every age and condition.”. Albion street is none too wide for the traffic that pours along its sidewalks and roadway, and gathers about the open doors of the “Leeds Industrial,” actually struggling In and put, and pressing thickly up to the , counters. One door leads tq a grocery store, the next to a drapery store, another door- leads up-stairs to the hoUse-ffiruiblring ware-rooms, the out-fitting department, and the boot and shoe Store. There is no display in the windows (after the co-operative mannerj, and we may follow the 'multitude inside to watch the active trade. Plain, hard-working people, perhaps grimy from their toil, they press up to the counters, cash in hand, ready to buy. The salesmen have evidently prepared for a good demand, and the staple goods, already put up In convenient packages, are piled in enormous-heaps on the counters. They deal out the bundles with wonderful speed, take the money, mqke a note in a sales-book, tear off the voucher (or half-leaf), and give it with the change to the customer. Each one takes his of her goods, and moves away as quickly as possible to make room for others. 'Near the door, im a tiny office, such as is sometimes used for the eflshier in American stores, sits a young girl. Each one presents the fly-leaf to her, and receives a tin or brass token representing the amount of the purchase. This is the evidence of traae at the society’s Stores, and will be a guide in estimating the allocation of profits next dividend day. For event bag of flour the member may buy he will receive back a bonus or dividend of two shillings and sixpence. On all other goods the bonus will be two shillings and twopence ;in every pound these tokens represent. This is the key to this active trade; this explains this eagerness to buy; this is the “ excuse for beiqg” that the society can show.

The shops seem to be equal to the best of their class in London or New York. The &xk?k is very large, of apparently the ,best quality, and is admirably put up, ready for immediate sale. Going upstairs, we find the building blockaded with people intent on trade. A woman coming down-stairs, her three boys making much clatter with their new wooden shoes, brushes past a man with a wicker baby-carriage under one arm and a mop broom under the other. There is plenty of roughness, broad Yorkshire dialect, toil-siamed clothing, and good English push and scramble; everyman for himself; but, with all, there is a feeling for order and honest good-nature. Above, stairs; there are halls and corridors necked from floor to ceiling with boots and shoes, brushes, kitchenware, household goods, and readymade clothing# The people swarm jntoi every nook and. corner, besiege the salesmen, and drive a lively trade. These busy shop, pers and anxious buyers are the members of the Leeds Industrial—a few of the 16,000 share-holders, the legal owners of this building, the thirty brahch stores, the shoe manufactory and the great flour-mill at Marshall street in the Holbeck district. Every min and woman of this company has five or more shares in the society, or has paid down good shillings to let them earn the shares. Each one of these people participated in that handsome dividend of £16,506 17s. Bd. that was paid last quarter day. That is more than two pounds a year apiece, or two shillings and a trifle over in every 240 pennies they spent at the stores, "besides the interest at . five per cent, a year on their share capital of £122,332 17s. 11 Charles Barnard, in Scribner for December.

Fall Plowing for the Cutworm.

I have been somewhat interested in reading different articles bn the subject of fall plowing that haye been published in several periodicals during the past few years, and in the meantime have profited from others’ experience. A year ago last fad I had a piece of land that I wished to plant to corn the following season. It had been down to grass for three years, the clover having been killed out the spring after it was seeded. The June gratis came in that, with the red top formed a stiff sward.' Some years before I had tried corn on the same field under similar circumstances, by plowing as early in the spring as the weather would admit; but each time the cutworm would destroy the first-planting, making iknecessary to plant the seeond time about the first of June, which \s too late for this innate. This time, in hopes of holding ese dread destroyers in check, I flowed j>y land in October. You will rebiember that it was a very dry fall, and when I finished plowing the whole field resembled a bed of dry ashes. The next spring proved to be a very late one to most farmers, but for me it did very well. The water passed from the surface of the ground very rapidly, and ere my. neighbors could plow at all I could cultivate my piece with trood effect. The results were that I had no trouble in planting early; my crop did not suffer from the drouth, which was very severe in this part ofthe State last season; while the cutworm scarcely made itself manifest ky the destruction of a single hill. I might name many other adyantages to be dented from fait plowing, but I have only time to consider the one—the cut worm destruction. There seems to be two theories as to how fall plowing proves a remedy for this pest. Some hold that the larva is turned to the surface, where it Is left ex. posed to a temperature sufficient for its destruction. Now a portion of this statement I admit as a fact, for there must be a general resurrection, but when unprotected larva can survive a temperature of thirty degrees, as I know they can, we may be slow to credit the freezing method of destruction. I am, however; ready to believe .that there is no more sure way to ward off cutworm injuries than to thus enter into partnership with the birds, in which it is our part of the task to plow the land early ih the fall, so that bluebird, robin'and blackbird lhay have a cutworm feast before leaving for a more genial climate. Deep harrow ing br oultivating, as early in the spring as the season will admit, will insure a Thanksgiving repast of the same nature. I feel very sure that from thia, cause alone would originate the unquestionable fact that fall plowing is an advantage. Our early spring birds being much put to it for sufficient Todd for themselves and brood, will, with this opportunity, become chief abettors in cutworm destruction. That the three birds above-named do merit the loudest praise for such valuable service we ail have personal proof.

to be practiced, except in the garden. As this plan implies a ioes of at least one **tock for each larva, it is veiy prudent planting to practice the advice of the poet: “Two for the blackbird, two for the crow, two for the cutworm and four to grow.”—ri. A. Crane, in Grand Ijedge (Mich.) Independent.

Covering Strawberries.

It is hardly necessary to inform our readers that all strawbsrries, no matter how hardy they are reported to be, winter better by being covered before the severe weather of winter fairly seta in, or even afterward, if before the first thaw. Evergreen branches have one important advantage—they may be put on before winter Logins, without any danger of smothering the green plants. We have fouad a venr thin covering, if only enough to hide the ground below, of decided benefit, the plants coming out a fresh bright green when the evergreens are taken off m spring, instead of the dull green or brown when exposed. TYe crop is earlier, the plants beginning to grow vigorously at the first warm Weather. The evergreen branches may be placed in regular, even lines, lapping like shingles, the branches lengthwise with the rows, giving the beds, a” positively ornamental appearance, instead of the rough look caused by the use of straw, litter or coarse manure. On large plantations evergreens Cannot often be used to advantage, and straw must be employed, in which case rye straw is best, on account es its stiffness, while soft, flexible-straw; as of bats,' is objectionable, as it settles compactly when wet, and, tenets to smother the plants. Even corn-stalks effect a valuable service, if Spread so thinly that half the surface is bare, by shielding from sun and wind, and hblding the surface snow. In providing any kihdjrf covering, it must be borne in mind that a green growth of leaves, like those of the strawberry, are easily injured by smothering; and tliat whatever protection is employed, it must be pervious to air. Farmers understand this, as applied to green wheat plants, which are killed by deep drifts of snow. This precaution is not so necessary in case of shrubs which have dropped their leaves, or of herbaceous perenniUTs of bulbs, the leaves and ; stems of which die down before winter. L Country residents ofteri have a number evergreen trees planted about their .dwelling, thirt are either extending-their limbs too far and interfering with other growth, or else becoming distorted, as thtey increase in size. Cutting off portions of these limbs at a fork (so as not to leave a dead stump) will improve' them, and afford a quantity of “ brush,” which is just the thing for the strawberry beds. Evergreen screens often receive more or less cutting back, in which case an abundant supply of protecting material may be obtained.— Country Gentleman.

Beware of Dust.

The injuries done by dust are among the most serious to which mechanics and operatives are subjected. Wherever filings and fine particles of any kind are produced, it is very important to prevent their introduction into the Itffigs; even an occasional exposure may do harm, and ohe continued for mouths and years will certainly produce fatal restiM;' < -Dr. R W. Richardson, of London, after several experiments with inhaling air through cotton, layers of crape, etc., informs us that he finds the best arrangement to.be a number of feathers arranged around the outside of a perforated breath-ing-lube of convenient size, so as to closely cover all the perforations; by breathing through the tube tlje feathers are drawn down to the perforations by inspiration, and by expiration they are lifted from the openings, and all the intercepted dust is blown off. The latter makes the arrangement with cotton or crape objectionable, as their pores are soon filled with the dtist as “well as the moisture exhaled by 1 the breath. The tube is attached to an arrangement which allows it to be put on and taken off as easily as a pair of spectacles. ■ . A natural protection against breathing dust Is also afforded to most males of the Caucasian race in the beard and hairs around the mouth. These should not be removed by any persons exposedto a dusty „atnjosphere, who, therefore, do a. very unwise thing if they indulge in the vice of shaving, which is nothing less than an attempt to improve *upon nature’s protective provisions. Three.evils result, frojp this practice.; Ist. Stimulating the continual growth of the hair, which will become slow, and finally cease if not interfered with, while this stimulated growth is a steady, unnecessary drain on the powers of the vital system. 2d. The removal of a natural protection against cold from a place where this protection is more needed than is generally.supposed. 3d. The removal of a dust protector, above referred to. Men. inclinefl to pulmonary consump - tion should especially guard against shaving, and let their beards grow as nature intended, only curtailing a Tittle when they become inconveniently long. Another natural protection against dust may be secured by accustoming oneself to breathing exclusively through the nose, and only through the mouth when-speak-ing.—American Manufacturer. r p. J.

A Sign-Carrier’s Luck.

John Weeks, fdr sometime a laborer in Greenwood Cemetery, and latterly a sign, carrier for a hatter’s flrm on Park Row, has been blessed with an extraordinary streak of good fortune. He first suffered by breaking his leg in the cemetery, and was conveyed to the King’s County Hospital, where he remained four months. After coming out he procured employment as a sign-carrier or advertisement toter; earning the sum of seven dollars per week. He continued in this occupation more than two years. Every one whose business has led him through Park Row must have seen him. He was a man of medium height, with gray mustache and a stolid, resolute face. A few monthsago he received a letter from Mississippi informing him of the decease of a wealthy bachelor uncle, who bequeathed to him property consisting of real estate and bonds and stocks to the value of$X),000. He immediately returned to his former home, secured possession of the property, and yesterday he was on a business visit to New York, and he thought he would drop in ana see his bld employer. Mr. Day congratulated him on his good fortune, ana told him he felt almost as proud as he would if the money had been left to him. He bought a new hat and departed.— Jf. Y. Xipreu. —The trousseau of Miss May, who is to marry James Gordon Bennett, has arrived from Europei, where it w collected at an expense of 120,000, according to the gossips.
