BARREL HOOPS.
Their Manufacture from Planting the Pole
to Shaving the Hoop.


to Shaving the Hoop.
Assuming that the poles have been
artihcially grown, the first cutting will
probably be made the fourth or fifth year
from time of planting. If grown thick
ly, as directed, there will be from 90, 600
to SO, 900 poles on an acre. Perhaps not
more than one-fourth of these will be of
sufficient size to cut this first time. The
lengths required are as follows, For mo-
lasses barrels, eight-foot poles; for pork
barrels, seven-foot; for smaller-sized bar
rels, four-foot six inches, five-foot six
inches and six-foot. Thegreatest demand
is for the two longest mentioned. The
poles to be manufactured into these
lengths must be at least one inch in
diameter at the top end. The smallest
size mentioned need not be over five
eighths of an inch in diameter at the top
end. As a rule it will not pay to cut
the poles until they have attained the
larger size named, as the price is so low
for these small sizes that it will be more
profitable to give the timber another
seasons growth before cutting.
The cutting should be done in late
autumn and winter, so that new sprouts

Rose took it, looking very white, but one
glance, after she had unfolded it, was
enough. She gave q low cry and burst
into tears. This astonished the brisk clerk
very much, who, knowing what was in the
telegram, didn't see any thing in it to cry
about. He stood wondering at her, until
Uncle Aaron, taking the crumpled paper
from her fingers, said to him: "Read it to

The sail down the Hudson river was ac-
complished in the usual time, and finally
the New York wharf was reached. Rose

dock. Eagerly Uncle Aaron glanced into
the faces below him and finally caught sight
of Jacob. "There he is, Rose-see hint" he
exclaimed, pointing excitedly. No, Rose

A DECREASE OF CRIME.
Judge Miller Says Serious Violations Of
Law are Not So Numerous a. Formerly.


Judge Miller Of the Police Court says that
during the past few months there has been
decrease instead Of an increase in crime. The
number of cases brought before his court 10
large, but the ofenses charged are minor ones.
Disorderly conduct, profanity and similar Of
lenses (mainly owing to whisky drinking) and
other violations Of the municipal ordinances
form majority of the cases brought before
the court. Charges Of assault and Of larceny
are not brought in such large numbers as they
we're some time ago, the judge says, and cases
Of serious assaults are seldom heard of az COM
pared with the records of the past.
ABOUT THE CoLoRED PEOPLE.
1.-THE colored people" the judge continued,
observe great credit for their good conduct.
People often remark, we ought to have q
whipping post ask for what, and they reply
for the negroes That is not So As I have
already stated, the colored people deserve
credit for the observance of the law. Most of
them who appear in court are brought in for
trivial offenses that are bound to be committed
in large city, and for which the pei atty Is
justly light. 1t does not happen once in
month that colored person is brought before
the court for an assault on white person, and
hardly once in a year for serious assault.
Taxing everything into consideration, with an
increased police force in a large city, I think
the city presents an excellent record, SO far as
the commission Of crime is concerned"
