The civilized, world stands aghast at
the persecution Of the Jews in Russia
and such protests have been made in
European countries and America that
the Russian government finds it ne
cessary to publish a statement and
give assurances that the offenders will
be punished and steps taken to prevent
future outrages. The revival of me
di@val prejudiees and practices could
only occur in county where the
masses are kept in ignorance and
there is no general diffusions Of school
books and newspapers. Out of $4,000
600 Of Russian subjects not 100000
can read or write. The educated few
govern the ignorant many. A free
school system and free press would
in quarter Of a century bring Russis
up to a level with other civilized coun
tries, and fanatical outbreaks would

has been troubled more or Less fol
some time; returned, and he was ad.
vised by his family physician, DIR.
Wyman, to abandon al literary work
and keep perfectly quiet. But Mr..
Longfellow can scarcely remain mac
tive, at least for any leugth Of time,
and consequently he was soon engaged
in the composition of "Hermes Iris
megetus," which appears in the mid
winter edition of the Century
(Scribners) and exhibits, to q remark
able degree, the wonderful vigor of
his mind. The poet will absolutely
do nothing TO give his birthday more
promiuenoethan in former years. He
will receive his intimate friends, and
probably the large number of beautiful
flowers which have always been well
comed by him on similar occasions will
this year be conspicuous reminders of
the admiration and love which people
in all conditions and in all parts of the
country appear to have for the vener-
able poet. Mr.. Longfellow will prob
ably never visit England again as
much as he appreciates Tennyson and
the large number of friends he has
there, though he would most certainly
like to revisit the scenes of his early
pilgrimage. Only the other day, when
a party Of intimate friends were talk
ing of Oscar Wilde, of whom they all
spoke disparagingly and in the seyercst
terms, Longfellow merely said in his
quiet way, "Well, Mr.. Wilde has
written some good verses; he cannot
be an ignerant man." This disposition
to speak we'll of every author, great or
small, and in fact of everybody, is one
of the most noticeable features in the
informal and chatty conversations of
the poet.
Mr.. LongfellOw has lately received
from England an edition de luxe being
the handsomest illustrated book Of his
favorite poem, "Eyangeline, the poet
has ever seen. 1t is msgnifcently
printed on the most costly paper, and
the binding is luxurious. The copy

Tennessee has long been numbered
among the iron-producing States. The
following from the Census Bureau re-
ports of the growth of the iron inter
ests in this country, will be interesting
to many of our readers:
in Alexander Hamiltons cele-
brated Report on the Subject of Manu-
features, presented to Congress on the
9th of December, 179l-ninety years
ago-it was stated with evident salts
faction that the United States already
in great measure supply themselves
with nails and spikes so undeveloped
and primitive was our iron industry at
that time. In the preceding year, 1890,
Monroe's Geography claimed, in a
description Of New Jersey, that in
the whole State it is supposed there is
yearly made about 1900 tons OF bar
iron, 1900 tons ditto of pigs, and so Of
rods, and in 1902 it was boastlngly
declared, in memorial to Congress,
that there were then $50 torges in
New Jersey, which, at moderate
calculation, would produce 20 tons Of
bar iron each annually, amounting to
5000 tons. In 1880 there were several
rolling millsi in New Jersey, and several
hundred in the United States, which
could each produce much more bar
iron in year than all the $50 forees Of
New Jersey would produce in 1902.
LESS than fifty years ago the Amer
lean blast furnace which would make
four tons Of pig-iron in day, or Is
tons in week, was doing good work.
We had virtually made no progress in
our blast furnace practice since Colo
! NAL days In 1881 it was publicly
proclaimed with some exultation that
one furnace erected in Pennsylvania
in 1880 will, in 1881, make 100 tons
of pig-iron." But as George Amos
has we'll said, a time came when men
were no longer satisfied with these
, little smelting-pots, into which gers
tie stream of air was blown through one
nozzle, which received scanty supply
from a leather bag, squeezed by some
tired water-wheel. After 1910 our
blast furnace practice gradually i'm
proved; but it was not until about
1865 that any furnace in the country
could produce $50 tons of pig iron in
a week. Ten years later, in 1875, we
had several furnaces which could each
make 700 tons Of pig iron in a week;
in 1880 we had eeveral which could
each make 1000 tons in week, and in
1881 We had one furnace which made
224 tons in a day, 1875 tons in week
and 5598 tons in a month.

How Cinnamon Bargain for
Wives.

An Australian Chinaman when anx-
ious TO have wife OF his own nation,
says the North China Herald, sends a
letter to an agent in Hong Kong
The following is condensed transla-
ton of one of these epistles: Il want
a wife. She must be a maiden under
twenty years Of age, and must not have
left her fathers house. She must
have never read book, and her eye
lashes must be half an inch in length.
Her teeth must be as sparkling as the
pearls Of Ceylon. Her breath must be
like unto the scents ofthe magnificent
odorous groves of Java, and her attire
must be from the silken.weavers Of
the Ka. Itching, which are on the
banks Of the greatest river in the world
the overlooking Yang-tse. Kiang.
The price Of China woman delivered
in Sydney for e38 pounds, but two
China women only cost e52; therefore

women in couples. The importers

arrive, and then he generally selects
the best looking one. The other il
