An Iron Mans Theory.

but they are melted down and recast

The truth which Mr. Swank thus,
gave expression TO is one of foremost
interest to manufacturers of iron and
steel. 1t means that iron once taken.
from the ground is forever in the mar
ket. At all the great trade centers
there are regular quotations OF old
rails, both iron and steel, and scrap
iron. Sometimes the current prices of
old and new steel rails approach close
ly, and at such time there is tenden-
cy among the railroads to replace
their roadway with new and heavy
steel.
In every quarter of the United
States the "old-iron man is found
holding forth in a junk-shop or on
more pretentious scale. All the man
ufactured forms of iron and steel that
have passed their prime are gathered
in. The railroads are very large
sellers of old iron, but from a dozen
other quarters the supply comes. Not
the shrewdest man in the iron business
can pretend to estimate how much of
the yearly output of iron manufactures
and steel is made from re-melted old
materials and how much from new
ores. fresh taken from the earth.
The proportion OF the former, how
ever is certainly immense, and sure
to increase with a powerful momentus
as the development of the country
goes on and the generations of iron
multiply.
80 heavy is the supply of old iron
and steel Offering" remarked General
Manager Swank, "that some manu-
facturers are almost ready to believe
that as the time goes on no more iron
ore need be taken from the earth. The
existing supplies will be self replenish--
ing and iron and steel workers will
only have to remold, remake, remanu-
facture. AS long as there is in any
country q large growth in population
and the uses of iron and steel this era
will be delayed, but should these
factors become stationary the mines of
iron ore may remain buried in the
bowels of the earth. The many mil
lions of tons of metal above ground
will serve to satisfy needs"

Figuring the Profits.

In making up the cost of any crop
the work should always be considered
at its market price. This is the rule
with mechanics and contractors in es-
timating the cost of work. A fair
price is always charged for it, with an
additional per cent for profit and risk
Of loss. The farmers time and that
of his team are certainly worth the
cost and some profit per day, and this
should be charged for with each crop.
A very good plan is to charge for the
work just what you would be willing
to do the work for others for, or what
you would be willing to pay some one
else for doing it for you. 1t may be
true that calculating upon this basis
and then taking the average yield OF
the crops at the ruling market price,
would show very small margin of
profit, yet such is really the only cor
rect way OF ascertaining the full cost
of each crop when ready for market;
and this account taken from the value
OF the product when marketed, or
rather when ready TO market, will
show the amount of profit or loss, as
the case NAV be.

She sat on the rug at the old lady's

Caroline quickly.
AS she spoke the door opened, and

and a long beard, entered the room.
Neither Mrs. Bevan nor Tessa noticed
his approach, and he stood for mo-

The Prince at the Theater.

When the Prince of Wales and his
wife wish to go to the theater, notice
is given to the manager, who prepares
his largest box, or knocks two boxes
into one for the royal party, and sets
aside another box for their suite. II
the boxes have already been sold. the
persons purchasing are informed that
they are wanted for royalty, and are
requested to call and get their money
back. Half dozen programs are
printed on colored satin, lot of
boquets are purchased for the ladies',
and an immense amount of scarlet
cloth is used in decorating the house.
The manager receives the party per-
sonally. The raising of the curtain is
delayed until the royal party is seated
and the orchestra plays ''God Save the
Queen" At intervals during the per-
Torrance refreshments are sent up to
the royal box. All this is at the ex-
pense of the management York

Eat Moderately.

There are those who become alarmed
at once il there is little failure in the
appetite and they fly to bitters or else
to doctors for the purpose of restoring
the appetite. Well-to do people gen.
orally eat too much. Excessive eating
leads to safety. Then comes loss of
appetite for time. The real fact is,
nature needs rest in such cases. If
one sensibly weakens in consequence
of loss appetite, it is well enough to
take alarm and do something but I'M
less loss of appetite is followed with
lassitude and lack of ambition, there
is no reason to mistrust that anything
is wrong. A paragraph in the Scien-
tific American not long ago showed
how much hard work could be accom-
plished with comparatively small
amount of food. The "Roman SOL

LAST YEARS LEAF.

Amid the springtime bloom IL lies,
A leaf sere, brown and dead;
Beneath IL lie the fragrant flowers,
The birds sing overhead.
The genial sun shines warmly down,
Soft zephyrs stir the trees,
And DER the flowers lying near
Wander the busy bees.
Amid the green and springing life
The leaf lies cold and dead
The relic OF another spring,
A spring forever fed.
vt is thus the heart, when Joy is DER,
And love deserts at last,
Lies like the leaf, relic sad
Or days once sweet, but past.

The TONGUE.

"The homeless tongue, so small and weak,
Can crush and kill" declared the Greek.
1.-THE tongue destroys greater horde"
The Turk asserts, than does the sword"
The Persian proverb wisely saith,
"A lengthy tongue-an early DEATH"
Or sometimes takes this form instead,
Don't let your tongue cut off your head"
While Arab sages this impart,
"The tongues great storehouse is the
heart"
From Hebrew wit the maxim sprung,
"Though feet should slip, ne'er lot the
tongue"
The sacred writer crowns the whole,

Patrons of every kind of business
have right to demand that business
men use means convenient to such
patrons to inform them of what is for
sale. We have solicited advertise
ments enough to know that quite
often business men would advertise
largely, says writer, if they were not
too lazy mentally (and know it too) to
work their advertising space and get
the legitimate benefits A hundred
dollar advertisement WELL attended TO
will make difference of from ST 900
to $4,000 in the gross receipts of a
concern doing say $4,000 worth of
business year. In many places of
5000 inhabitants there are merchants
doing double this amount of business
in the time. But with the average
mercantile profit of twenty-five per
sent difference of only $400 in the
gross receipts, would return the $l00
to the advertisers pocket. So that
it is clearly only slightly a matter of
dollars and cents paid the newspaper
that raises wall between two that
should come together, but rather a
mental laziness that beclouds the brain
of many otherwise capable business
men, and instead of keeping even
with the times, or a little ahead, they
merely drift along, sometimes pretty
close to the rear.

REDUCING THE SURPLUS.

Within the last month the United
States treasury has poured $l4,O0O,-
600 Of its surplus coin out in the pur-
chase of bonds, while some of this
amount was premium paid out for the
bonds. It was not so high but that a
larger saving in interest accrued from
the purchase.
This is one of the sensible ways for
reducing the. surplus, and the admins
tration are making the most of it. Of
course no large amount of bonds can
be called in at one time for that would
tend to create an artificial value upon
them, but whenever the treasury de-
partment finds that it can gather in
some millions with gain to the govern
ment it IS doing SO. The country
will not fail to observe the difference
in the methods of the last and the
present administration in this matter
Of the buying of bonds.

THE PUBLIC RECORDS.

T. C. Shaw, judge of Marion county,
has issued the following order:
"In the matter of the examination
of the public records of Marion county,
and the making of copies of the
same.
On this day it appearing to the
court that there are copies of public
records of Marion county, Oregon, be-
ing made in violation of section 279,
page 499, Hills Code, by persons not
parties at interest on the matter sought
to be examined; it is therefore ordered
by the court, that the clerk and re-
corder of Marion county be directed
to furnish copies of their respective
records duly certified, to parties de-
sirIng the same, and that no parties
be allowed to examine said records
Who are not parties at interest or
properly appointed attorneys for the
same, and, further, it is ordered that
the custodian of the court house be
required to notify the parties using the
court room of the court as an Office, to
vacate the same"
In commenting on the above a
Salem paper says:
"Now this raises very fine point.
County courts IN other states have
made attempts to prevent abstract
companies from taking copies of the
public records-but they have not yet
made the thing stick, where the matter
was contested. 1t is the opinion of
the writer that the Marion county
court has exceeded its authority
that an abstractor has as much right
in the court house working on the
public records, as the court or the Off
GERS have; though of course, no one
has the right to establish his office in
the court house, without the consent
of the authorities. But as matter
of public policy alone, abstract COM
panies should not be interfered With,
so long as they pursue their work with
in the proper bounds. If they have
been indiscreet in any way, they should
be censured and warned to desist; but
you can't keep them from making
copies of the public records"
