Truck Farming.

Truck farming is market garden ing carried on so far away from centers of consumption as to require railway and vessel carriage to get the products to market Long lines of railway have made such farming pos sible, and now North and South Carolina planters can daily send their truck to Washington, Baltimore, and Philadelphia. So far the Census Blu reau finds that about 600,000 acres of land are devoted to this kind of farm ing, and that $l00, 900, GOO are invested in the industry and that the annual products are worth nearly $So, ,0o0,- coo after paying freights and commis- sions. These farms employ 2l7,000 men, 5000 women, and l5, ,000 children. Seventy-six thousand horses and mules are employed in the work, and nine million dollars worth of implements. This industry has sprung into exist ence in the past ten years, and is growing very rapidly. It seems like pretty good farming which realizes sl30 gross income an acre on the land titled.

A Windows Glass Trust,

There was talk of the formation of a window-glass trust last fall during the campaign. At that time Secretary Eos, ter, who is largely interested in the manufacture of window-gIass, was re- ported to be opposed to the formation, hAing then a candidate for Congress. One or more of the other large manu- lecturers held out against the trust pro- posal, and the scheme came to nothing then.
 The talk about trust has again been revived, and now the trust is con- sidered much more probable. Tho New York OU, PaiRt and Drug Reporter, which is an organ of the glass trade, has recently pointed out how the difficulties formerly encountered have m ostly dis appeared, and then continues:
 "Another deterripg cause has been re- moved by the appointment of Mr Charles Foster to the Treasury portfolio in the Presidents Cabinet. MT Foster controls large glass manufacturing in- terests and at the same time is promi- nently identified with politics. He was candidate for Congress when the sub- ject of a consolidation of glass interests was first mooted, and the public outcry against trusts made him at once an en- emy of the scheme, because to be con- nected with such Q movement at the time might have ruined his chances of political preferment As he is now placed in position where condemnation of commercial combinations by the pub lic-under mistaken impressions or other. wise--is likely to do him and his political aspirations no damage, his cooperation, at least, in the scheme may be expected "
 The same journal points out that one of the leading manufacturers has recent ly put up prices 20 per cent. Such is the working of the high Mckinley pro- tection on glass. Trusts and higher prices are the order of the day

LET THE POOR USE sHoDDY.
So Says Judge Lawrence, of Ohio-Carpets of Shoddy and Cow Hair-Greed of Pro- tective Interests.

So Says Judge Lawrence. of Ohio-Carpets
 of Shoddy and Cow Hair-Greed of Pro-
 tective Interests.
 Judge Lawrence, one of the Ohio polit- ical wool-growers, writes to the Boston Journal of Contmerce long letter advo- eating the total exclusion of carpet wools from this country.
 "The duties on carpets" says Judge Lawrence, "are substantially prohibitory: they are entirely so on all carpets Of classes made in the United States The duties on coarse wools should be equally so, even if used only for carpets"
 Although we grow almost no carpet wool in this country, for the simple req son that it pays better to grow clothing wool, Judge Lawrence would exclude foreign carpet wools entirely, and thus compel the carpet manufacturers to use in their carpets some of the low grades of wool now going into cloth This would increase the price of Judge Law rence's wool; and that Is just what he is striking for. But it would increase the price of carpets, too. Here, however, the Ohio shepherd proposes frank and brutal way of making low grade of carpet for those who are compelled to buy cheap stuff. He says use shoddy. Here are his words:
 "If a still cheaper variety of carpets be required, as there always will be, they can be made from mixture of such coarse wool with shoddy and COW hair sufficiently cheap"
 Judge Lawrence ought to know that our cheap carpets are already made largely of "shoddy and COW hair" Re- cent improvements in shoddy spinning oh hnuayar rid l,y i'm ing the use of shoddy in carpets.
 The frankness and the audacity of Judge Lawrence's declaration for shoddy carpets for the poorer people should en- tighten these people somewhat as to the spirit of protected interests generally. That declaration is but another proof that these protected interests are ready to enrich themselves at whatever cost to the people. Let all the poorer people in the land use shoddy carpets, but Judge Lawrence must have his wool duty!
 But the day of these wool politicians is passing. Even such q dyed-in- the- wool protectionist paper as the Jolan1t Of Commerce tells Judge Lawrence some thing for his benefit which shows how the tide is setting. The Journal says:
 "It is our impression, from the knowl- edge we have of the sentiment of woolen manufacturers on the tariff question, that the aggressive policy of wool grow CTS or their representatives will, in time, and that not far distant arouse an an- tagonism on the part of manufacturers to all tariff restrictions on the imports of raw materials, regardless of threats concerning the tariff on manufactured articles"

Ingcr~olI Didn,t Know.

Colonel lngersoll has great many conundrums put to him in the shape of questions about his religious beliefs. Recently he was stopped on the street by a tall, cadaverous-looking individ- ual. who said. in deep, sepulchral voice: Colonel lngersoll, do you be- lieve in a hereafter--a future life be- yond this world?n
 'I don't know" replied the distin- guished agnostic. 1t is a greater mystery how 1 came into the world than my living again In another. Now that l am started. may go on indcfin- ately."

A Hinge Trust,

The Iron Age, high tariff trade pa- per, prints the following piece of news:
 "The negotiations which have been in progress for some time between the man ufacturers of strap and T hinges have resulted in the formation of strap and T hinge association, which consists of the following concerns: Stanley works, Mckinley Manufacturing Company. F. W. Gilmore X Co, Lindsay X McCutch- con, c. Hager X Sons Hinge Company A new list has been adopted. The new prices represent an advance on the goods generally ranging from , to 10 per cent. on strap hinges and something like 20 per cent on T hinges"
 Thus the industries of this country are gradually being consolidated into trusts. It is said by a competent author ity that nine-tenths of our industries are already controlled by trusts and combinations to control prices and out put.
 The old duty on these hinges was lS cents pound, and was practically pro- hibitory, only $2, arr worth of bolts, riv- cts, hinges, and hinge blanks having been imported last year. Mckinley made the triiing reduction of quarter of cent per pound, leaving the rate still substantially prohbitory. as may be seen from the fact that this hinge trust is able to raise prices from to 20 per cent
 There may be some dispute as to whether or not our manufacturers have the right to form trIsts. However that may be, our people are great fools to continue to vote for the high protective duties which give these trusts defense against outside competition. When in- dustres combine and put up prices, it is time to cut off their protection at sin gle stroke.

Points on Pepper.

Pepper in its natural state--~that is, in the kernel~-is the fruit of a plant of creeping or climbing habit and of of some thirty feet. It's leaves are short-stemmed, uniform and pointed. On the immense East India pepper plantations the young cuttings arc set out in long rows and trained on poles In this particular it bears striking resemblance to Il hop field. The plant bears fruit in its first year, but not to any great extent. It is most prolific from its fourth to its twentieth year. during which period the annual yield of single plant is from nine to eleven pounds, on the average. The harvest season commences as soon as the uni- form little green berries begin to turn red. They are then plucked and spread out on great plat,ers to dry in the suns warm rays, or by means of slow fire. This treatment causes the outer shell to shrivel and turn black. White pepper is gathered from the same plant as the black pepper. the distinction be- ing that the outer black shell has first. been removed. Because of this thor ough maturity of the berry afd the ab- sence Of the outer shell 1t is much milder than the black

CHAPTER XII.
"WEEi. MAY THE KEEL ROW.

WEEL MAY THE KEEL ROW.
 Captain Duncan rubbed his eyes and would have grown pale had his ruddy cheeks been capable of such sign of emotion, when Annie and Dick Baxter explained to him and proved to him how Bob Ross had been betrayed.
 Preserve us" he gasped, "and me blam- ing him wrangly a this time .. but what for did he na speak out himself would hae believed him.
 'Oh, father, you would not be patient even with me, far less with him; and he was too much stupefed ,o be able to under stand things himself until he got home"
 Gang for him, Dlck-feich him here this minute" cried the captain In passionate haste.
 "rhatll na be i'll to dae," said Dick. with one of his wise grins. "for he's just out by. :" Ross halted in the doorway. pale still but firm on his feet again. The captain opened his mouth as if to speak, but for little, was unable to do SO. Then he took out his big red and white handkerchief, wiped his face with 1t, and next began to tug at it and tie knots on it as If 1t were rope. He found his tongue at last, and with much rough awkwardness--
 'l did you wrang, Ross. |. beg your Paiuoi, anu tHtft my naiu anu tncrt . Annie and the Mermaid"
 The hands of the two men clasped in . grip that meant eternal friendship.
 Then the old captain without another word passing between them, hurried out of the room. He sat down on the anchor in the middle of the green. There he had his pipe and dram and crack with old Dick Baxter, learning all the details of Cargill's treachery and how 1t was found out. At the end Dick was a richer man that day than he had ever been at one time in all his life.
 As for Annie and Bob Ross, they were alone in the room. She was in his arms, and he could only say in whisper
 God bless you-my own lass"
 
 There were few folk in the town who did not miss Bell Cargll. When 1t became known that she was gone therewas as much of that silent sorrow about the place as if news had come of the loss of whole fleet of smacks.
 We hae lost guid frien'." said one wife to another. and that was Bells epitaph; but the generous hand and the sharp tongue are still missed in the place.
 Outside Anchor Cottage the truth about the narrow escape of the Mermaid is only known to Campbell, the sailor who retain cd his faith fin Ross in spite of appearancea and Dick Baxter. The Incident is treQuent- " spoken about amongst the men; but Ross

Tran aforHed.

Mon and beasts are alike in ths re- spect. that their strongest propensitiss are often unsuspected until some change into exercise. A hon- hunter named Coa- rad had brought from Africa Q small lion cub which he had captured whom 1t was few days old.
 At first it was sickly. and seemed un- likely to live long. but under careful nursing 1t gradually outErew its weak mesa. and became q great pet with its owner, whom it followed about like . kitten. At night it always slept beside its masters bed.
 One evening Conrad lay down upon the lounge for nap. and after having been asleep for some time was awakened by sharp pain in his left hand. On attempting to draw the hand toward him he was startled by vicious growl. and the next moment he discovered that Belle. his pet cub, had his hand between her teeth.
 She had already bitten quite through it, and was eagerly tapping the blood that flowed from the wound. Her eyes were blazing. and it dawned upon Con- rad that his pet was no longer tame animal.
 The situation was dangerouA Con- rad moved softly, so as not to disturb the animal. and succeeded in reaching his revolver. with which he shot her through tho brain. She leaped into the air with terrific scream. and fell dead upon the floor.
 It appeared that while the man was asleep tho lioness had begun to lick hi s hand. Her sharp, file.like tongue broke the skin, the animal got her first taste of blood. and all the latent passions of her race were at once aroused. The pet be- came in one instant wild. bloodthirsty heaAt
