INCREASE OF IRON PRODUCTION IN THE
UNITED STATES

The Philadelphia PenHsylUanian advocates change
in the present system of levying duties on foreign
iron Ii claims that the Gd Ualorem system is most
unfortunate for the American iron interest, Civ
ing 1t least protection when it needs it most-that is
when iron is lowest abroad.
As to the growth of American iron manufactures
the PemsylraHiaa says:
81 Since 1913 the consumption of that article in
the United States has augmented in an unprecedent-
ed manner The consumption Of foreign iron. and
manufactures Of iron, which previous to 1915 never
reached, in any year, the value of 81 200 900
amounted in 1850 to SO 600 600; in 1856 to nearly
100000, 900. On the other hand, the domestic pro-
duction Of pig iron made very considerable progress
From 1882, when it amounted to 100000 tons, it
rose to 100000 tons in 1856. The domestic man
utacture Of railroad iryn has yet only reached
about one-half Of our annual requirements. But,
considering that eleven years ago made no rails
at all, this result must be regarded exceedingly
encouraging The value of domestic manufactures
of wrought iron Of every description amounted in
1910 to ST., 800 600; in 1850 to So. 600 600; in
1855 to SIS, 800, 600.

HORRIBLE AFFAIR IN GEORGIA.-The Savannah
Nelcs of the 2lst, has this account of murderOus
affair follows:
A man by the name of HOrnsby, residing about
thirteen miles from Brunswick had, with some of
his associates, been charged with stealing his
neighbors stock, and had been notified by them to
leave the settlement by Tuesday last HOrnsby not
complying several men set out for his house that
day, for the purpose of forcing him to leave. As
they approached the house horseback, armed, the
inmates fired on the party, killing man by the
name of Rumph, and wOunding an old man by the
name of Radcliffe and his son, also wounding the
horse of another of the pOrty, which falling crushed
the riders leg. The fire from the house re-
turned, and Hornsby and his wife both killed. A

HISTORY OF BILLIARDs-The origin Of this game,
according to a little book published by the Apple
tons, like the birthplace Of Homer, is a contested
point and its antiquity like many elderly spinsers,
is involved in considerable doubt Some suppose it
to have been imported into Rome from Persia under
the consulship Of Lucuus, while others bold that
Caligula introduced it from the East. The records
are unauthentic until the return Of the Tempars
from the first crusade Il soon became the favorite
amusement and means Of exercise TO which the
clustered monks of that period were permitted to
have recourse. The game fell with the knights
Templars, and was revived by Louis H Of France,
who preferred it to the bloody tournaments then in
vogue Henry III still more widely patrOnized it;
and we find that Mary Queen Of Scots, in a letter
writ the evening before her execution, complains
that her "billiard table had just been taken away
from her, preliminary step to her punishment"
1t became a favorite game with the ladies in
France and Germany. Madame de Stael was an en-
thusiastic advocate Of billiards. even when ex-
lied to Switzerland by Napoleon she oyerstayed the
time limited for her departure from Paris, in order
that she might personally superintend the removal
of her billiard table" The Duchess de Berrie was
also noted for her fOndness for the game Mr.. Phe-
Ian SAYS that the Frenchman is the most brilliant
the Englishman the most careful, the American the
most successful and therefore, if that be any argu
ment-as ii is commonly admitted to be the most
conclusive-the very best of billiard players"

RAISE MORE FooD.-The New York Post gives
some advice to the tillers of the soil" from which
we take the following sensible and timely remarks
The revolt in India is the harbinger of famine
one hundred aud eighty millions Of human crea-
lures will need large supplies of food from the pro-
ducts of other regions. The army of India, the
transport feet Of that army and its supplies, to
cessites growing out of the disturbed state of that
great English dependency, will call for much of our
surplus beef, pork and -four The two last named
articles are the product of every year, but beef
uures years of nOurishment before it is ready for
use The wicked wanton waste of breeding power,
which is the besetting sin of American farmers,
ought to be checked Every farmer ought TO be re-
uuired to give an account of himself who kills
female calf We ought to preserve every ''cOwcalf'
for five years TO come. By this method we might
soon have supply of beef not only for ourselves,
but for any emergency abroad.
