Our Wool Interests.

The census of 1910 reported twenty
four wooden factories in this country
that spun yarn, and 9,25S.2 yards of
at S4,413,OO0. In 1850 there were 1920
wooden establishments that employed
$4,000 persons and annually produced
goods of various textures valued at
$43 100000. In 1860 the wooden estab-
lishments had increased to 1920, en-
ploying $4,000 males and females, and
producing goods to the value of $67,-
100000 annually. Owing to the great
demand of wooden goods to supply the
army with blankets, clothing, etc, in
the rebellion, the wooden factories in the
United States increased nearly one-half
in ten years, and the census of 1870 count
ed 1000 persons as employed in wooden
factories, who annually produced goods
to the value of $177, 100000. /
With the increase of population the
demand for wooden fabrics continues
about the same, and there are at the
present time about the same number of
mills doing about the same amount of
business as in 1872, just before the
financial panic commenced. But with
the natural facilities for the raising of
sheep and the manufacture of wooden
goods, the demand for wool and wooden
goods in this country is far ahead of the
supply. In the past 46 years, or since
1888, the United States have imported
wool, either manufactured or unmanu-
featured, to the value of 81 100000, 900.
For the past four years this country has
imported wool and wooden goods to the
value Gin the aggregated Of Sic, 200,
while the export is a trif1e. In 1875 the
total duties on wool and wooden textures
amounted to $3O,9l4, 036, and with the
exception of four years prior to 1913,
was a larger revenuethan ever was pro-
duced in any one year in this country, or
within So, 900, 900 of what was. expended
in the eight years of Washington's ad-
ministration.

A Knapsack Drill.

Let me give you an anecdote of some
of the jovial and lively boys whose pres
ence in a company did more to promote
health and happiness than the hospital
quinine and opium pills. In the old
Twelfth Indiana Regiment there were
four or five of these kind of men, full of
life and fun. Here is one of Enoch
Taylor's 1" Gouge games,n as he called
it. If Taylor is living he knows it's true,
and l hope he will forgive me for using
his name.
While at camp in Queenstown, Md,
in 1861, an order was issued for KNAPP
sack drill every afternoon. The men
were required to pack their clothes, ETC.,
as if going on the march, and drill in
that shape for two hours. As the regi-
ment was forming, Col. w. H. Link,
riding down the line, observed few
straws protruding from the lap of Tay-
lor's knapsack. The Colonel refined up
his horse with: .. What have you got in
your knapsackp'
"It's straw says Taylor
"What have you got it in there for9''
"Why, Colonel, it amt as heavy as
cIothes.''
AGO to your quarters, and tomorrow
| want you in ranks with every thing
you've got Do you hear?''
"All right" says Taylor; 81 always
obey orders;'' and he walked to his tent
The next day he appeared in line with a
knapsack well stuffed, his overcoat and
blankets forming roll about the size of
Il ten gallon key, and enough to extend
six inches beyond his shoulders, each
way causing him to occupy the space Of
two men in the ranks. The Colonel
rode down the line, Taylor's appearance
caught his gaze, and he halted in front
of him. -
"What in thunder is the matter with
your"
Nothing at all, Colonel" says Tay-
lor; "you told me yesterday to bring
every thing I had, and I've done So"
Colonel-''I should think you had. -
Taylor" Jes' So
Colonel" Do all them belong to
you?'
Taylor" Yes, but forgot my frying
pan; it's down to the tent
Colonel" For Gods sake 90 and get
it, and when you do get it stay with it.
Go to your quarters!n
"All right!' says Taylor, 81 always
obey orders. III go and write to moth
er while you drill and I'll tell her all
about this, and hereafter don't aim to
be imposed on. I can carry as big a
bundle as any body and no straw in it. y

A lMiser's Miserable Life.

Hugh McGlinn, proprietor Of the
Rhode Isl land Livery Stable on Fourth
Street, died Tuesday afternoon, aged 6o
wears. The deceased left behind him
an estatt valued at over 100000.
McGlinnl it is stated, acquired his large
fortune by leading an extremely penuri-
Gus existfnce, and denying himself even
the COMMON necessaries of life. tic
occupied himself in the most }lnehlal
employnj ents about his establishment,
and he devoted himself to the making
and hoa1tline of money. For years he
occupied loft in his stable, "heie ~
died. 1e was unable to read OF "flle'
and was obliged to intrust the manage
mept of his business to an agent. In
his last illness he refused to pay physl-
clan to attend him unless he would
guarantee cure. He left will be-
dueathinp the whole of his estate to his

Mr.. Blennerhasset, M. P. for ker
nv, Ireland, is to introduce next session
bill to abolish the arbitrary marriage
regulations which compel marriages to
be solemnized before noon. This has
been a great Inconvenience, especially
to the working classes, and was intro
duced to prevent bibulous bachelors
from presenting themselves at the altar
in an intoxicated state, danger which
has passed away.
The Count de Grimbergen, one of
the wealthiest noblemen of Belgium,
who died recently, had to invoke the in
tervention of the authorities to be dis
embarrassed of relations who wanted to
compel him to die with the rites of re-
ligion. The fortune left by him is esti-
mated at about 81, 100000. Among his
legacies is ore of 100000 for the con-
struction of seaside residence for the
children OF the public schools.
1t seems a great stride from simple
Mr.. to :" his Grace the Duke" which
Mr.. Bentinck made lately on the death
of his cousin, the Duke of Portland.
He is a young officer of the Guards,
aged %, and gets about $40O, 900 year
with his dukedom under the will of the
late Dukes father. The great London
property around the Langham Hotel
devolves on the late Dukes nephew.
To be %, an English Duke, and have
100000 year seems pretty good po-
sition in the world.
The Emperor of Germany sends
every Christmas a boar's head as pres
ent to Queen Victoria: and a finer thing
in its way than a genuine hure de sang
Tier can not be conceived. For fourteen
Christmases, from 1887, it was the GUS
tom of King Ernest of Hanover, known
and hated in England as the Duke Of
Cumberland, to send one to each of his
high Tory friends in England. His list
was a long one when he left England,
but when a man abandoned the creed
Of Toryism in England his name was
expunged. Among the latter were Sir
Robert Peel and the Duke of Welling-
ton, and in the end there were not above
two or three entitled to the boar's head.
The King of Denmark is greatly be-
loved as a monarch and a man. He is
more of "citizen king than even
Louis Philippe. He has some knowl-
edge of science, has a cultivated taste
for art, has the material interests of his
subjects at heart, chats in a friendly
manner with the citizen class on the
public promenade, and, 1t is said, sell
dom declines to stand godfather to the
child of any Dane who makes the re-
quest that he should do so. A Berlin
paper. which gives a number Of details
about the Meof the royal family in Co.
penhagen, observes that ssthe Kings
daughters won, as maidens, an unusual
degree of popularity in their fatherland.
The good Danes were extraordinarily
proud of the beauty of their princesses,
and reioiced heartily with them when
the Herr Papa, whose civil list is of
very small dimensions, and who is COM
PEELED to be thrifty in his domestic ex-
penses, bestowed upon either daughter
a new: dress or gold ornament for a

Odd Dim Ter Customs in Sweden.

The Swedes have a queer way of To-
comotion al their meals. They often
fit about line flies, from one table to an
other. and s Ometimes seem to turn the
menu topsy1turvy when they order re-
past. 1t is no rare thing to see them
begin with cheese and biscuit, next pro-
coed to ham and salad, with slice OF
meat to foil bw, and then suddenly start
up in the middle of their dinner to swal-
low, while tthey walk about, a plateful
of pea soup. A habit which they have
of beginning each repast with what they
call " snorgos," not merely leads to
much untidiness at mcai-tilne, but makes
them seemi contented to live on bits and
scraps. The smorgos consists OF little
dishes, subj as slices of smoked rein-
deer, and caviar, and sardines, with
pickles, cheese, and other whets provo
cative of thirst. These are fshed out
with fork of general utility, and laid
on thumb pieces of rye cake, thlckly
smeared with butter, which serve by
way of l1late Then they are, bitten
into, REGARDLESS of the fragments which
may fall oh other dainties for your true

which sta bid handy by their side. Such
a prelude to meal is not merely un
clearly, but must vitiate the palate, and
injure tn b digestion. Indeed, feel
convinced that, were the smorgosbord
