The lila& currant is found growing ,ayild on most land iu all the cooler por- itiona of the north temperate zone. Tho 'fruit has a strong, Musky taste that is not at first agreeable. Like most other fruits of strong flavor, however, it grad- ually becomes less objectionable, till at last one acquires a fondness for it. The taate for black currants is generally ac- quired as it is for tomatoes, pawpaws, bananas a.ud persimmons. By cultiva- tion the black currant increases in size and productiveness, often changes its color to red, yellow, and even white, while its flavor becomes more mild. A few years ago. black currants were scarcely marketable, but at present there is a growing demand for them. This season they have sold for twice the price paid for the comnion red cur- rant in this market, and.' fruit dealers state that the demand tor them has not been supplied. _in some foreign countries the Mack current is held in very high esteem. In Siberia it is the principal email fruit cultivated. The berries are eaten when ripe, made into pies, tarts and pud- dings, dried for use daring the winter, canned and preserved, and manufac- tured into jelly, wine, vinegar, and a spirituous liquor resembling brandy. The leaves aro also cured. and used as a substitute for tea, and a high author- ity declares that the tea made from the leaves of black currEurte can scarcely be distinguished from that produced from steeping genuine tea leaves. The fruit is regarded as possessing very valuable medicinal qualities, and the ripe ber- ries, as weil as the jellies, wine and vinegar manufactured from them, are recommended for the cure of diseases of the throat, especially quinsy. In Russia, • Sweden, Norway and Scotland the black currant is very extensively culti- vated, and held ie high favor. r Recently Week currant wine has at- - tracted much attention in several European .6°mi:tries. In Burgundy, France, there are over fifty establish- ments engagedin making it. It has • lat&y been proposed to introduce the extensive culture of the black currant into -the Orkney and Shetland Islands - for the pnrpose eetablishinge wine factories there. The Mormons in Utah, many of whom came -from the • north of Europe, have given great at- tention to the cultivation of black eine „rants. They- have 'brought varieties freni abroad, and gi eetly improved by cultivation several varieties found grow-. ing wiki ,in Missouri, Colorado and Utah. In the Eastern States much at- tention has reoently been, given to the cul tivation of this hitherto neglected fruit. P eople acquire a taste for.it and ,convert °them to its use. All admit that the fruit is he althful, and many " Mose' and the Novelist. The New York Ashes laments the disappe ranee of that amusing and not • partieul4rly wicked product "the Bowery Boy," and repeats an oft -told tale which seems to lose nothing by age and. repetiti9n. .Twenty-five years ago,' Thackeray. being desirous to see a "Bowery Boy," went with a friend into the haunts of that peculiar creature to look for One. Very soon his companion pointed out to him a genuine specimen standing against a lamp -post on the . corner of a street, red-Shirted, black- trousered, soap -locked, shiny -hatted, with cigar in mouth elevated at an angle of forty-five degrees. After con- templating him .for a few moments, Thackeray wanted to --hear him talk, and, concluding to ask ins the way to some part of the city, said politely : "My friend, I ehould like to go to" such and such a place. "Well," replied. the Bowery lboy, in his peculiar and quite inexpressible tone, and without .moving anything except his lips, as he looked up lazily at the tall, gray-haired novel- ist, "well, Sounv;you can go if you won't stay too long."7 Thackera.y was quite satisfied. The Time adds that the Bowery boy's successor has more of his vices andnone of his virtues. He is not an American product, but merely one of the dangerous classes of Europe transferred to the freedom .of -America, which he construes with license. , Montana.' Montasa, during the past sixteen years, has produced. $153,000,000 of gold and silver. Of this sum $147,- 000,000 was in gold. This makes Mon- . taint rank next to California. as a pro- ducer of gold. There are already 200 - quartz mines in the territory. Iron and lead mines have been opened, and coal is plentifel. It is claimed that the cost of keepM herd.s of cattle in Mon- ta.na is only 60 cents a head. Includ- ing taxes, a three year old beef steer, whicli will sell on the ground for a20, only costs $3 for feed and care. The losses in raising are estimated at two per cent., while the profits vary from 25 to 40 cents per annum. In 1873 there were 250,000 head, while 22,000, valued at $440,000, were reported to Eastern markets.. The Utilization of Waste. As civilization increase's, and the necessiti es of mankin cl mul ti ply , the means of providing for such wants are perpetually being discovered—not by any marvellous change in the products of the earth, nor by thediscovery of uu- kubwn subjects from abroad, but from the very fact ofthe immense consump- tion of certain articles Creating a cora- naeusurate waste, which ingenuity. and industry have combined in utilising, thus ,making new articles of commerce from the refuse of previous produc- tions. 'Among these perhaps the most widely known is the manufacture of paper fr us rags. The ILuost careless housewives will now sale the clippiugs of calico, etc., new or old, bleached or unbleached, clean or dirty, well knowing how much thay have increased. in, value with the great and ever increasing demand for paper, created by cheap printing and the diffusion of education among all classes • An increase in knowledge causes a proportional increase in printing,and,as a matter of -course, in the consumption of paper to print tipen.
