The Northeastern Lumberman
thinks there is no reason to doubt
that woods have what may be called
their afiinities. 1t has been stated
en- authority that has not been ques-
toned, that certain woods (both
dry when placed in contact will
soon rot, but when in contact with
other will not rot. 1t would be rea-
sonable to suppose that the nature
of piece of wood has its likes and
dislikes, that it will repulse and at
tract; in other words, That it is af-
fected by that with which it comes
in contact. Were it not so, it would
be an exception in the mineral, ami
NAL, and vegetable kingdoms,

wALTER SCOTT AND DOCS.

l fG - - ~ sd
Sir Walter Scott declared that he
could believe anything of dogs. He
was fond ofthem, studied their lido
synoracles closely, wrote volumni-
nously in their praises, and told
many stories of their unaccountable
habits. Once, he said, he desired
an old pointer Of great experience,
prodigious favorite, and steady in
the field as a rock, to accompany his
friend, Daniel Terry, the actor, then
on a visit to Abbottsford, and who,
for the nonce, voted himself for a
sporting excursion. The dog wag.'
ged his tail in token of pleased ODE
Gience, shook out his ears, led the
way with confident air, and began
ranging about with most scientific
precision. Suddenly he pointed,
and up sprang numerous covey.
Terry, bent on slaughter, fired both
barrels at once, aiming in the centre
of the enemy, and missed. The dog
turned round in utter establishment,
wondering who could be behind him,
and looked Terry full in the face;
but, after pause, shook himself
again and went to work as before.
A second steady point, a second
fusilade, and no effects. The dog
then deliberately wheeled about and
trotted home at his leisure, leaving
the discounted venator to find for
himself during the remainder of the
day. Sir Walter was, fond of repeat
ing the anecdote, and always declar-
ed that it was true, while Terry new
err said more in contradiction thar
that it was a good story.

Is 81 am one of those whose lot IN
life has been to go ont into an un-
friendly world at an early age, and
of nearly twenty families in which |
made my home in the course OF
about nine years, there were only
three that could be designated as
happy families; and the cause of
trouble was not so much the lack OF
love as the lack of care to manifest
it." The closing words OF this sen

family alterations, Of heartaches in
Vulnerable, of sad faces and gloomy
home circles. "Not so much the
lack of love as the lack of care to
manifest it," Not more than three
happy families in twenty and the
cause so easily remembered In
the "small courtesies of life" what
power resides ! In look, word,

quietude may be communicated !!
Let us al. think Of it, and take the
lesson home to our own lives.

THE SHORT STORY,

William Perry Brown in The Writer tells
of his struggle with "the short story" He
found that the taste of the reader of the
day-at least the newspaper and magazine
reader-is for the short story, and he dis
covered also, that it is far more difficult to
produce the short than the long story.
That far he discovered nothing that was
not before known to all newspaper men
Bat he has had the grace to acknowledge
that in most cases the Judgment of the
newspaperman upon the productions of
young writers is sound, and that it is never
nearer right than when passing upon the
merit of the contributed story. In fact
newspaper editors have such struggles
themselves" to get the short story" that
they become very keen of scent and judg.
ment. For the story must not only have
the merit of brevity, but it must be good
throughout, have fine qualities of plot and
execution that are patent; be of such merit
in diction as to satisfy the cultured literary
taste, and of such sustained interest as to
attract and hold the general rea;ler.
Mr.. Brown tells in detail how he con-
structs the short story, and what infinite
difficulty it is to cultivate conciseness and
still work out veiled design to dramatic
climax. But his troubles are as nothing to
those of the poor wretch who is compelled
to wade through oceans of manuscript and
print in search for the zeal, good and salts
flying short story, that the reader of the gen.
eral newspaper demands and will have.

SOUTHERN STATES.
PACIFIC STATES.

There was in this group of States not so
marked an effect, but clearly defined
check to the industry of wool-growing. In
the Territories the decrease between 1885
and 1886 was of l, ,407, ,4Sl.
In 1867 protective tariff on wool went
into effect the number of sheep in that
decade rose q per cent, and in the next
decade A per cent. The increase from
1880 to 1884, when the influence of the
tariff was felt, was 1884, ,793; but since that
period the decline in the industry under the
effect Of the Tariff reduction Of 1888 has been
steady. Yet the Democratic party in Cali
fornia, as Mr.. Mitchell points out, put a
plank into its platform in 1886 denouncing
the wool tariff reduction Act, and asking a
restoration of the tariff of 1867.

John B. Alden, New York, has issued
The Story of Beryl." 1t is an idyl of
South Carolina, and is by Prof. Charles
Woodward Hutson, one of the most enter
tanning of the Southern writers His
sketches are true to nature, and very evi.
IDENTIFY were from life models 1t is pure
in tone and finished in style. The scene is
laid in South Caroline before the era of the
rebellion. Ideal edition, cloth, 35 cents by
mail.
From the Bancroft Company, 72l Market
street, San Francisco, we have of the QueS-
tions of the Pamphlets Friendly Letters to
American Farmers and Others" by J. S.
Moore press of G. ?. Putnams Sons, New
York and London. 1t consists of letters
that have appeared during the last two
years in the New York Times and New
York Erening Post on the tariff question.
1t is opposed to the protection principle,
and is strong argument for the abolition
of all duties in excess of needed revenue
for governmental support.
From Doxeys, importer Of new and an
tiquarian books, San Francisco, we have a
handsome, richly -embellished and finely
illustrated and printed volume of Tales

form, neat, substantial binding, and more
than all, its skillful editing, which brings
within such convenient limits such vast
amount of knowledge, so well adapted to
popular needs, are a satisfaction and de-
light to students. Not only in its marvel
ously low price, but in other respects, this
seems better than any other cyclopedia
suited for use in the homes of the masses
and in our public libraries. A specimen
volume, to be returned if not wanted may
be had in cloth binding for 80 cents, or in
half morocco for 65 cents; postage 10 cents.

Doubtless. Yet if Republican orator
ventures with Mr.. Depew to say even so
little as this, "NVe must protect the
colored voter at the South in the exercise
of the suffrage and purify the count" We
are told it is Haunting the bloody shirt
But no one remarks about Southern Demo-
cratic orators Haunting the rebel shirt.
Yet they are constantly doing it. Here
is so distinguished gentleman as Senator
Eustis in the Forum for October marshall
ing all the old arguments ever preached
in defense of slavery, to show that the
black at the South must be kept in sub
serviency, and that the negro question is
still running sore in our body polite.
He speaks to-day as did the pro-slavery
men of twenty-eight years ago of Massa-
chusetts q fanatics" i. e., those who clam
ored for the abolition of slavery He
tells us that the settlement of the
negro question" is purely local one,
with which none but the people of the
South have any right to deal; that they
propose to settle it in their own way and
time, and that the colored citizen, % if his
lot is to continue to be one of inferiority,
rather than appeal to the political favorit-
ism of the Federal Government or to the
partisan sympathies of the Northern
philanthropists as he has done in the past,
should rely implicitly upon the mag
nanimity of his white fellow-citizens of
the South to treat him with the Justice
and generosity due to his unfortunate con-
dition." Notwithstanding the distin-
guished gentleman's passionate insistance
that the question of the assertion of the
political right of the colored man is one
of purely local character, he will find, we
think, that the masses of the people of the
country favor, if need be, Federal concern
and action OF the most emphatic character
to secure to all the emancipated the exer-
else of their political rights, deprivation
OF which brings their political education
to standstill.

STUDENTS of history will recall that il
was under the approval and advice OF such
men as George Washington and Alexander
Hamilton and the thoughtful, far-seeine
men of their day, that the first protective
tariff was adopted. Under it the country
greatly prospered until 1916, when the
nation tried a tariff for revenue only, and
depression and distress resulted The
crisis of 1Sl7-1S is estimated to have cost
the country more thqn the war of 1912.

FACTS FOR WOOL GROWERS.

The Act Of 1888 reduced the tariff on
wool The result was large income in
imports Of wool and woolen goods, large
increase also in the revenue, but decrease
in the number of sheep, and of course in
the WOO product. So to-day we have
5,5O0.oOo fewer sheep in the United States
than when the Act of 1888 went into effect
July lst The rate of increase of sheep be-
tween 1873 and 1885, was per cent. per
annum. The ascending and descending
scales are thus shown by the Philadelphia
Wool Merchants Association, and the fig
ures were quoted and youched for by Sem

A CLUB of voters in San Francisco sup
posed to have been composed of Republi-
cans, has declared for the Demo cratic can
didate for Congress in certain Congress
slonal District. Naturally the Democracy
"cheered" over the announcement of this
flop" But now the truth develops to
shame them. The organization turns out
to have been "piece club" only Clearly
it was got together for no other purpose
than bribery and corruption in the traffic
in votes. The evidence of this is that the
club notified the Republican candidate of
its formation, that it had honored him by
adopting his name as the club title and
the prefix to military twang. He was
| therefore informed that it was necessary
for him to fit out the Rangers" with suit
able uniforms, and put beer on tap for the
membership until the close of the cam
paign. Thereupon the candidate gave the
club notice that he would do neither the
one nor the other thing; that if
he had TO get into Congress
through the beer-spiggot of club
of guzzlers he'd not go at all Upon re-
ceipt of this communication the club
proved what it was organized for by flop
ping" and pronouncing for the Democratic
candidate. OF course the politics of such
lot of men is not skin deep. They care
nothing for principles and are extremely
satisfied to declare for this or that candi-
date as the size Of the purse put up may
determine. We do not undertake to say,
having no knowledge of any fact to Justify
it, that the change Of the club to the Dem
ocratic candidate indicates that he acceded
to its demands. 1t is more likely that the
"club" in its desire to punish the Repub-
hcan candidate for his refusal finds it can
only do so by supporting his opponent,
and hence changes out of revenge. But
even then the latter gentleman cannot feel
complImented by such support. The re-
alization that these men are not for him
because they believe the doctrines he ad-
vocates represent the best policy for the
country, or that he is fittest for the place,
but because his opponent would not
"bleed," must, if he is at all sensitive,
make him color with shame that from such
agencies his support should in any degree
come
