MANUFACTURING.

Chief among the industries Of Aberdeen
is that of numbering, including logging,
saving and shipping. Not less than i've
hundred men are employed in the woods
in this vicinity. Four mills are in opera
ton with combined daily capacity OF
300 900 feet. One of the mills is exclu-
sively devoted to the local trade, while
the largest share of the product OF the
other three is shipped to California
and foreign ports. For several rea-
sons Aberdeen can and does supply
lumber cheaper than either the Columbia
or Puget Sound mills. AS shown else
where, our port charges, towage and other
items of ships necessary expenses are
much less. Legs are more easily OBJ
tanned, and therefore much cheaper
than at the other ports mentioned.
The shipment abroad for the year 1890
was $4,000, 900; the home consumption
being about 100000. On the wharf this
lumber represented value of over $780,
600, which was principally paid out here
in wages. Other mills are being erected,
and the product will probably be doubled
during the year 1891.
WOOD-WORA- ESTABLISHMENT
After numbering, tine next important
industry is that Of the sash. door, blind
and general woodworking and turning
establishments. Three of these are now
in profitable operation, and there is room
for more The raw material is cheap and
the market convenient.
factory for furniture exclusively
would be most profitable investment
here, as has been amply proven by the
work in that line being done at the sash
factories. Two shingle mills and a box
factory will be ready for business this
spring, and almost any number of indus
tries of this kind can find good locations
near this city, where material is easily
obtained.

LIGHT AND WATER.
The streets, business houses, public
buildings, and many private dwellings of
Aberdeen are lighted by electricity, fur

pany, home corporation, having paid
up capital stock of $4,000. The plant is
one Of the best and comprises both the
incandescent and arc system of lighting
The charges are reasonable and the quail

water bonds, the sale of which has pro-
vided money for such an improvement Of
the system as will furnish a supply of
pure water sufficient for population of
forty thousand. This system is now in
operation.

RaIsins From cranes.

Raisins are merely dried grapes pre-.
pared by several processes, but in Europe
only two are generally practised. One
of these consist in partially cutting
through the stalk of the ripening punches
and then allowing them to hang on the
vines until the berries shrivel and dry by
the heat of the sun. These are considered
the best raisins aud are known as the
Muscatels. Large quantities are raised
and exported from Malaga. In the other
process the grapes when gathered are
hung on lines or spread out on drying
floors to dry in the sun. When dried
they are dipped in hot lye, to which has
been added little olive oil and salt.
After dipping the fruit is spread out on
wicker work to drain and dry still more,
after which the raisins are stripped from
the stalks and packed in boxes. But all
the grapes from which raisins are made
are different from any Of our native
species and varieties, none of which will
answer for TaisiEs, as their pulp is not
firm and hard enough, and when we
undertake to dry them there is little left
but skin and seeds. A good Iaisin grape
must have flesh of firm consistency,
somewhat like that of good plume or
prune, as the imported article is called.
The raisins of California are made from
the European varieties of the grape and
not from any of the American species.
Raisin grapes will not thrive in Pennsyl-
vania unless raised under glass, against
walls, or other protected situations

A Well Developed Skull.

"The frog has a huge skull, with a
very small brain cavity aud an enormous
mouth for the purpose of swallowing
fish, small ducks or any other prey of
size, whole. Dan Beard, the artist, tells
a story of pet frog he had in an aqua
rum that attempted to get away with a
baby alligator newly imported from
Florida. On coming home he found
Mr.. Frog, who had taken down the small
saurian head first, jumping against the
glass side of the aquarium in vain efforts
to drive down the tail of the victim,
which was too long to find room inside
for its accommodation. The frog, like
the toad, has its tongue fastened in
front and loose behind, so that it can
capture insects by whipping it over and
outwardly. Unlike the toad, however,
it has its teeth in its upper jaw. Tho
toad is higher animal than the frog,
because it gives birth directly to little
air breathing toads, whereas the frog
lays eggs that produce fish like tadpoles,
subsequently transformed into the final
shape. The tadpole breathes through
gills like fish, has a tail and no legs
and is vegetable feeder. The meta
morphosis it undergoes is one of the most
marvellous things in nature. If it were
not so common it would astonish the
world. Think of vegetable eating
fish with tail aud gills turning into an
air breathing land animal, developing
teeth and becoming a carniverous quad
ruped. Isn'tit amazing when you come
to consider it2 A wonderful beast is the
frog, truly Washington Star.

TWO VOICES.

HoMILY.
The humblest and frailest grassy blade
That ever the passing brcezes swayed
Is of Beauty's palace a green arcade.
Akin TO the uttcrmost stars that burn,
A story the wisest may never learn,
Is the tiny pebble thy footsteps spurn.
In each human heart potential dwell,
Hid from the world and itself as well
Heights of heaven, abysms of hell.
Tho core of the earth is fiery youngl
No matter what may be said or sung
With weary brain and waiting tongue.
Soul self pent in narrow plot,
Longing each morn for some fair lot,
Some bounteous grace which thou hast not
Dull thou must be not to understand,
And blind thou art not to see at hand
Thy dreams by reality far outspanned,
For wonder lies at thy very door,
And magic thy fireside sits before,
And marvels through every window pour.

of splendor and terror and mystery,

1t is pleasing, confesses tho New York
Sun, to obtain official information that
there is no danger of the immediate ex.
tinction of ths American buffalo, as this
superb beast has found quiet and
happy home in the Yellowstone National
Park. 1t is to be feared, however, that
the habits end even the natural qualities
of the buffalo are undergoing serious
change in the Park, aud that he is be.
coming tame and well.disposed quad
ruped. 1t is truly sad to think that the
vast herds which roamed proudly over
the plains, even as late as the middle of
the present century, have disappeared.

The Decimal Scale.

The disadvantage of the decimal scale
is that the number ten can be only di-
vided without leaving a fraction. A
duodecimal scale of numeration would
have been much better, aud, in fact, is
much more in accordance with our pres
ent system of weight, measure and coin
age. Had tho Chaldeans or Arabs, who
instituted the decimal scale of numbers
from their ten digitss only taken it from
the giants among them, who, like the
giant of Gath, had twelve digits as well
as toes, the result would have been much
more satisfactory to all calculating indi-
viduals among succeeding generations,
as well as those of our civil service

California is fast gaining prominent
position as a dairy State, declares the
american Ddirym1i, some of the finest
French cheeses being made there. In
1880 Mr.. l.. Cantel started a factory at
Petaluma for the purpose of manufac-
turing the celebrated French cream
cheese, aud, although at first he found it
hard to introduce his product In San
Francisco and other cites on the Pacific
slope, he has by his perseverance built
up first class trade for the special
brands of fine cheese manufactured by
him, which are French cream, Camen-
bert, Brie, Neufchatel, Gerome and
Roquefort cheese, all of which are popu-
lar, not only with the epicures in all the
principal cities in California, but also in
Oregon, and he is now exporting large
quantities to the Tahiti and Sandwich
Islands. If manufacturers of those fancy
cheese on this side of the Rocky Noun
tains do not bestir themselves. it will be
but short time until Mr.. Clntel, or
some other enterprising manufacturer of
California, controls the Eastern trade
for this line Of dairy products, which are
growing in favor among the better class
Of consumers all over this continent.

She did not hear my crutch upon the

"No man, having put his hand to the

herself the lender; for when Uncle Clay's
wife died ten years ago, four others were
admitted to her household--Uncle Clay
himself, Frank, May aud Richard.
Frank and May have both been in to
say goodnight since 1 have been lying
here, thinking about Aunt Meredith S
mistake. May hugged her with both
arms, and said, softly; "The blessedest,
best auntie;" while Frank stood mo-
ment behind her chair and softly stroked
the silver braids ard recounted the days
trials and its pleasures.
81 shall be a man soon, and take care
of you, Aunt Meredith" was his good
night.
Aunt Meredith nodded and smiled,
and went to open the door for Robert,
pausing as she passed my lounge to draw
the covers more closely about my shoul =
ders, while lay here as if asleep.
Then for half an hour she and Ro bert
sat there before the fire, while Robert
told her everything.
First, he had thought he might take
still another set of books to keep. BY
staying an hour later every night he
could accomplish it. But Aunt Mere
dith said: "No, dear. 1t is not right to
stay out so very late;" and the books
were given up.
Then the clock struck half-past ten.
Robert rose and lighted Aunt Meredith $
candle; and again the halo seemed to
form around the silver braids, and
showed me the smile upon her pale face
as Robert bent his head to kiss her faded
cheek.
Now she is gone, aud it is Robert who
bends over my pillow and whispers,
"Poor ClarenceW as he .:aws the covers
ever so lightly over my chest.
And now, he, too, is asleep; but his
bed is so near that can touch him if l
choose. A little silver call-bell is In
reach on the other side.
"You may want water, DEAR" Aunt
Meredith said, when she put the bell
there; as if l did not know what it is
Aunt Meredith fears. 1t is the black
| banner on the door-knob.
But | am not thinking of that to might.
l am thinking of Aunt Meredith; and
thinking of her life, so full of promise
and so barren of fulfiiment, and of my
life so devoid of promise, and yet so full
of peace.
! am thinking, too, of the lives of the
children asleep in their beds; of the
young man about to enter the world
pure of heart and strong of purpose; OF
the graves of the two men who blessed
Aunt Meredith with their last breath; of
the dying pillows made easy by her prom
ises; of the little child who only left the
shelter Of her arms to slip away to Gods.
When remember these, bless Aunt
Meredith's mistake. Youths Companion.

1t will be interesting to remember q
prophecy which Sir John Mcdonald once
made to reporter of the New York Sun
with regard to the future of Canada.
He said that in time the provinces of
Ontario and Quebec will form greater
France. He thought France was de-
cGning, while in the old provinces of
Canada the French were multiplying like
nothing the world has seen before. Not
only do they have large families, but
they possess all the thrift of the French
aud are steadily buying up the land.
Like that of our New England the soil
is comparatively poor and difficult OF
cultivation, and the English, Irish and
Scotch are leaving it for the prairie, the
plains and the Pacific coast, "and," said
he, "whenever such farmer expresses a
desire TO go West his next door ueighbor,
a Frenchman, stands ready to buy him
out. Soon there will be few except
Frenchmen left in old Canada.
