In Germany dwellers in the country
lack faith in the skylark as announcing
fine weather. but when the lark and the
cuckoo sing together they know sum-

In Hampshire swans are believed to

winds and tempests are sure to follow.
The adherence in which mariners
hold the swallOw-like storm petrol is

The president OF the American Paper
Makers Association mas collected re-
liable data showing that the pape:.
trade which stood twenty-first 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 mOr than doubled in
quantity, and in spite OF lower prices
is Is per cent. greater in value. The
number OF employees is 10000 against
24,5O0 in 1880. and the wages paid arc
more than twice the total in the last CEN
nus year. The average per day for each
worker was then ST. Ii, and O it is
$3.50. These statistics simply demon
strate what every observing person
must have noticed concerning the fast
growing Importance of paper rs a fac
