Prof. John Henry Comstock, the
eminent naturalist, begins in The New
York Ledger, of March /, series of
SIX articles on the study of insects, in
which he describes, not only those in
sects which are useful to the farmer,
but also, those which destroy entire
fields of grain, cotton and rice, and
ravage orchards, gardens and vineyards.
He demonstrates how it was scientific
ally determined that an average annual
loss of $50, 100000 has been occasioned
in the South by the cotton-worm alone;
and that an average loss per year, of
nearly So, 100000, has been brought
aoout in the apple crop of Illinois by
the ravages of the Goblin moth. The
series is profnsely illustrated.

The Love of Novelty and Change.


 The residents of old Athens gained an enduring falue from tlleir never ending search for ''some new thing" In this respect Athens of old does not seem to have differed very widely from the av- craze community of today.
 People tire of ife's dull monotony, and the fellow who comes along and gives them something to talk and think about is hailed with delight, even though he may sometimes be laughed at.
 If you can both interest and amuse people, you can make money out of them. This is a calculating way of put ting the case, but it's fact.
 If you're merchant, mako your ad vertisement different, in scne respect, from that of any other merchant who uses the same medium. And cfaaaga your advertisement frequently-the oftener the better. The merchant who never allows the sdn1e ad to appear twice in succession will find that the labor of getting up new "copy'' is splendidly re- warded by the results.
 Throw variety into your stock, too. Don't buy a certain line of goods thia year just because you did ldst. Perhaps you can do better this year. Shift your stock about. Bright colors, new goods and a new ad. every day or week will make things go.

BUILDING.

Souls are built as temples are Sunken deep, unseen, unknown, Lies the sure foundation stone. Then the courses framed to bear Lift the cloisters pilared fair, Last of all the airy spire, Soaring heavenward higher and higher, Nearest sun and nearest star. Souls are built as temples are Inch by inch in gradual rise Mount the lavered masonries. Warning questions have their day, Kings arise and pass away, LAborers vanish one by one, Still the temple is not done, Still completion seems afar. Souls are built as temples are Here's carving rich and quaint; There the image of saint; Here 6 deep hued pane to tell Sacred truth or miracle; Every little helps the much, - Every careful, careless touch Adds a charm or leaves a scar Souls are built as temples are Based on txuth's eternal law Sure and steadfast, without flaw, Through the sunshine, through the snows Up and on tho building goes; Every fair thing finds its place, Every hard thing lends grace, Every hand may make or mar.

Women Who Make Harnesses.

Mrs. Caroline Overst stands at the head of the women harnessmakers. For the past twenty years she has lived on Washington street in one of the many cottages of the Trinity church estate. She employs a couple of men in the shop and works with them steadily. She can make a harness or trim a carriage. She is quiet, serious and businesslike. She doesn't do any visiting in the neighborhood, because she hasn't the time and doesn't care the snap of 8 whip for gossip.

SLATE AND QUICKSILVER.

This office is in receipt OF advance
sheets OF the census report on slate and
quicksilver. From them we learn that
the total value OF all slate produced in
the United States in 1889 was S3,444,-
1858. The amount in use for roofing is
double, in value and number OF squares,
the amount reported in the last census
Twelve states at present produce slate,
arranged according to amount and value
of product, they are as follows: Penn
s~ylvania, Vermont, Maine, New York,
Maryland, Virginia, Georgia, Michigan,
New Jersey, Arkansas, California and
Utah. In the latter six there is only a
limited production. Merchantable slate
has been discovered in other states, es-
pecially in Tennessee. Time will add
South Dakota to the list, as good quar-
ries are said to have been discovered in
the Black Hills on the line OF the Burling-
on and Missouri railroad.
Quicksilver is found in nature, usually
in combination with sulpher, forming
cinnabar. The earliest records relating to
production of quicksilver in California
are for 1850, cinnabar having first been
discovered there In 1916 and but very
little quicksilver WAS produced prior to
1850, when active work was commenced
at New Almaden. Outside OF California
two states produce quicksilver, Oregon
and Utah. There are 961 persons i'm
ployed in this industry.

ABOUT MICA.

There are some very interesting sugges-
tions on the vote in the senate the other day
to impose q duty on mica, instead of allow
ing it to remain on the free list. The Nc
Kinley bill gave free trade in mica, and it
has been on the free list previously.
But the votes of democratic senators
helped to enact protection on mioa, and it
is not unlikely that the measure when it
finally passes will pass with this provision.
So rantankerous a democratic free trader
as Senator Ransom, of North Carolina, to-
gether with Pugh, of Alabama, and others,
voted for a protection on mica.
Well, it seems that North Carolina has
been n of the principal mica producing
states. 1t has been also produced in New
Hampshire, Alabama, Maryland, and to a
less extent in several other states. Upon
the basis of the mica deposits therein have
been built up considerable industries. The
deposits have given employment to large
numbers of people, principally farmers,
as the deposits were scattered over q con-
siderable area.
In 1881 and 1882 two counties in North
Carolina alone produced 100000 worth of
mica, At that time there was no importa-
tions. The wages paid to those employed
in the mica industry was from $l.25 to
$l.50 a day.
At that time mica began to be imported
from India. The wages paid in India to
mica workers is only from five to fifteen
cents a day. The India mica is; shipped
by returning vessels from Calcutta, so that
freight cuts little or no figure. The result
of free trade in mica has almost destroyed
the mica industry in this country. The
two counties of Mitchell and Yancy, of
North Carolina, which in 1881 and 1882
produced $200,000 worth, produced in 1889

A LErTER.To CoMMITTEEMEN.

H q EIlEEN NJ SoN1VI1A
S. H. Goodfellow, chairman OF the in
dependent state central committee has
issued the following circular letter to
committeeman.
sit is our earnest desire in this cam
paign to elevate the moral standing OF
political discussion. For that purpose
we have invited the nominees II speak
cls OF each OF the two political parties to
meet with II nominees and speakers, at
any time or all the time. in a candid, lair
and manly discussion OF the principles
enunciated in our respective platforms;
believing that this would be one OF the
best ways to accomplish the desire.
Much OF the corruption in politics OF
which we complain is undoubtedly due
to the corrupt methods persued during
the political campaigns.
We believe that, when the people. who
constitute the great moral element in
society and in the state, understand our
position on this question, they, regard
less OF party affiliations, will assist Ills
in this mucl-to-bc-desired reform. I'm
Outstanding full well that, heretofore,
political speakers have INDUCED in per-
(sonal abuse without p~rovocation and
abuse OF political parties without just
cause and believing that the great moral
teachers throughout u state, the clergy
men of all denominations, should take
an interest in this work, it is the desire
and wish Of all our nominees and speak
ers and Mr.. Loucks especially, that they
be invited to be present at our meetings
and where agreeable to them, some one o
their members be selected to open tn,
meetings with prayer"
