An Iadustry with "MIIIoRs In It"-The
Manifold Uses They serve.

An Iadu,try with Millions In Ir'-'The
Ia gtlsass Manifold Uses They serve.
There nre fifty millions OF people in
the United States" said wholesale
80 rag dealer Yesterday TO q Tribune re-
porterwho had called upon him to OBJ
tain some Information regarding the
business, "and Il is safe to presume
"a that every one Of them discards on au
ayerage five pounds of clothing every
year That gives us two hundred and
iitty million pounds Of rags to start
With, Then there are the tailoring es-
Adjustments, big and little, whose cut
tings are not much less in quantity in
The aggregate than the cast-olf clothes
of the Nation at large, while their quail
ity, as rags, is greatly superior, Then
s there are the carpets, and bedding, and
curtains, and other domestic articles OF
cloth Of some kind which make up a
goodly bulk in the course Of year.
These different articles combined make
up another two hundred and fifty mill
ion pounds of cloth material which has
been discarded from use, and which
eventually finds its way into the rag
mai's bale."s
While the rag merchant was talking
he led the reporter into the cellar OF
his four-story warehouse, and showed
him that the place was entirely filed
With bales of goods ready to be shipped
10 the woolen and paper factories OF the
East lie said that no one in Chicago
aaOutside of the business had any idea of
i.s proportions and Importance. The
fact was that outside OF the staple
products Of the West the rag trade pro-
yided the railroads with more work
than ans other branch OF merchandise.
The Michigan Centrhi had been obliged
20 provide a special building for this
kind Of freight AT the different depots
last Friday and Saturday his firm had
fron 800 TO 500 bales of rags at the diff
ferent depots; and IL was safe to say
that fully 100 cars of rags y day left and
catered Chicago. So much for the ex-
tentabd Importance of trade which is
+ frequently looked down upon.
The first door of the building was
found TO be occupied By "paper stock
tho rags. eic, from which paper is
manuiaetpyed aud the second with
woolen rags Upon this iloor Is carried
ontltework OF separating the various
cloths. according to color and quality
work which requires considerable
skill and experience on the part of the
operators. But before this branch of
the business Is more fully alluded to an
idea had better be given of the contents
OF enc Of the bales Of mixed goods as
they are received at the Chicago estab-
lishment. TO attempt TO describe the
various articles to be found in one OF
ti,e' bales would be impossible. All
ARTICLES of domestic use which are made
fpmyeeotaeia or animal fabrics are
there. together with old hats, boots,

They contained four or five freekled
eggs of a greenish-gray cast. Like
other nests placed on the ground, some
of them have been visited by cats or
other predatory animals, but In other
cases the eggs have gone safely through
