A Timely Little Hint to Husbands.

She was q dear little woman, and
Hubby wanted her to stay at home all
summer. She had her eye upon fash
ionable watering-place hotel, and he
knew that meant clean thousand out of
pocket. Did he storm and rave and
argue and talk of bankruptcy? Not at
all. He urged her to go !; he was eager !,
he pooh-poohed every objection, and
then he had his wicked cousin Charley
write him a mysterious note about
horses and little dinners, and left it
where wiley would find it, and inside of
q week she declared that nothing could
tempt her to leave Newark this summer
for longer than the two weeks of her
husbands vacation. - Reh0boM Sun

ALMOST A PAPER AGE.
One of the Greatest Factors in Modern
Industrial Development.

Industrial Development.
The president of the American Paper
Makers Association has collected re-
liable data showing that the paper
trade which stood twenty-irst in rank
among American manufacturers in
1880, is now fourteenth, and that the
capital invested has nearly doubled in
the last eight years. The annual prod
uct has far more than doubled in
quantity, and in spite Of lower prices
is Is per cent. greater in value. The
number of employees is 1000 against
24,500 in 1880, and the wages paid are
more than twice the total in the last CEN
nus year. The average per day for each
worker was then $1.13, and now it is
$3.50. These statistics simply demon
strate what every observing person
must have noticed concerning the fast
growing Importance of paper as fac
tor in modern industrial development.
Our age has been called the age of
steel, the age of glass, the iron age,
and has been christened from other
great industries, but at the rate paper
is booming the next generation may
see a paper age. When one considers
the enormous importance of paper as q
means of disseminating intelligence it
can scarcely be ranked, even now, sec
ond to any other branch of manufac-
lures in worth to mankind. 1t is used
for making car wheels, lining walls,
for numerous household utensils, and
in constantly multiplying list Of arts
and industries. We may yet see
buildings wholly of paper erected in
the ordinary course of business. The
world reads more than ever before,
and the material on which books and
periodicals are printed is bound to be-
come more and more a vital element in
the civilization of the age, whether it
finds many new channels of usefulness
or not. Paper may crowd brick and
wood and metal out of some fields now
occupied by them, but if not it is
sure of IL vast and increasing demand
in its own peculiar sphere. Cleveland
