Preservation of Mine Timbers.

The German government officials, prin-
cipaily at the mine Altenwald, near Saar-
%brueckei, have for eighteen months past
been experimenting to ascertain the best
means to preserve and protect mine timbers
both from decay and from fracture by
pressure. In connection with the tests to
prevent decay of mine timberinq. especially
such as is exposed to great pressure, lime,
coal tar, and carbolineum were tried in
such a manner as to enable them to com
pare their relative protective value. The
results show lime to be the weakest. Coal
tar preserved the outside of the timber.
while the core was found completely de-
cayed. Carbolineum proved by far the
bering of the upcast in that mine. The
mine timbers. made of wood peeled and
dried. are twice painted over with the car
bolineum above the ground.

The virtuou. Chinese Censor.

The action of a Chinese censor who
had more of the honest man than of the
courtier about him deserves to be re-
corded. The emperor. being DESTROYS
of celebrating the birthday of his aunt,
the empress dowager, directed that a
large hall, now in ruins. was to he re-
stored and another building OF SINH
lar size was to be constructed to show
his devotion to the lady who had kept
him in leading strings so long. The
censor sent a memorial to the emperor,
in which it was pointed out that as tho
people were extremely poor, especially
So from the disastrous rains, the exc
penditure of money as proposed was In
opportune. Virtue in this case had to
be its own reward, for the censor was
degraded and discharged from the
service of his imperial and despotie
master.-Chicago News

Prices and the Farmers.

which cost 500 in 1860 would cost at
this time in the same market S99.19

per cent But the aggregate of all
other products. less the internal taxes
above specified, which would have cost
500 in 1860 would cost now only $40. 43
for the same articles in the same mar
ket, decline of Sos.5.7 on every 500
On what the farmer sells, therefore, he
is getting about as much in New York
wholesale markets as he received thirty
one years ago. but on all the products
that he buys, taken together he is pay
ing 241S per cent. less than he paid in
1860. 1t ought to be observed that the
gain for the farmers in nearly all parts
of the country is much greater than
these figures indicate. because the cost
of transportation has also been greatly
reduced, thus giving TO him larger
share of the price Obtainable in the sea-
board markets for his products. and
also giving to him imported and manu-
featured products at less advance above
their cost at the seaboard. But if such
has been the general result OF a protec-
tive policy, extended over period OF
thirty years. have not the protectionists
some right to gratitude if the farmer
is on top?' For it is their policy which

and shops, employing millions of work.

THE DEATHLESS HEART.

The flames ran riot DER roof and wall
And wrapped the house in lurid pail
Through the glare and smoke, through the din |
and heat. |
All eyes upturned in the crowded street
Were filled with pity and yearning fear
For the children thought to be dying there!
Just at that moment Of speeches. dread
At an upper window the curly head
OF a girl of twelve in the red light shoae.
Her arms In the tenderest fashion thrown
Round her weeping brother OF FIVE years old.
And her dark locks blent with his locks OF gold!
The people urged her to leap in vain
While the sparks came down like fiery rain
And the boy was dropped mid the widening
glow
To the haven OF ou.stretched arms below!
The girl rushed back through the eooSlns
smoke
And never a word to the watchers spoke.
Blu, swiftly again to the window came
A babe in her arms and her dress afame!
She wrapped the baby in blankets tight
And leaped at once with her burden light
To the eager hands that were opened wide
Fronting the crest Of the crimson tide!
The infant happy and safe at last
Was quite unframed by the peril past
But the sister Who saved her. though breathing
still,
Wa. bevond the reach OF all mortal skill!
The IRE had fed on her cheeks so fair,
Nor left the ghost of a dimple there.
No trace remained Of her eyes so bright
Those marvellous wells OF truth and light
And her hair. where the sunbeams loved TO
stray,
like sudden darkness had passed away!

The girl sank back on the pillow-dead.
When her body was wrapped in its winding

And poet standing in silence near.

EVERY industry in a nation is inter-
woven with each other industry. All
industries are independent. 1t is
maxim of political economy that every
mans income is derived in part from
the income of every other man in the
community. An injury to one industry.
therefore, is an injury to all That
which lessons the prosperity of one les
sens in greater or less degree the pros
perity of all. Hence, no man has a
moral right to bring into this country,

home industry. any article that is or
can be manufactured here with no more
effort than is required to manufacture
it elsewhere This is the fundamental
principle on which protective tariff Is

Mr.. FQ0SE'S FIGURES.
They are Official and they are
Mighty Significant.
NO GLASS RORKERRlLL DENY THIS.
The Cost of Producing Glassware
Abroad and in this Country diners
SO as to Allow Manufacturers to
Save Money by Importing.

Mr.. Victor Foose, the Martins Ferry
Glassworker who made speech to the
Republican club, giving some facts as
to the difference in wages Of glass
workers in the United States and in
Europe and showing the advantage Of
protection to workingmen, was seen by
an ISrELLIoEScER reporter last evening,
who had an interesting talk with him.
Tho Register has tried hard to explain
away or weaken Mr.. Foosc's figures
and failing, has had man who Is
afraid to sign his name, write COM
munication questioning the prices given.
In his speech Mr.. Foose gave the cost
in this country to manufacture glass
ready for packing. OF course, knowing
his business, he gave it correctly. y
any glass worker or manufacturer Will
deny the truth OF them il might then be
worth his while to puy attention to the
denial, but not till then.
Mr.. Foose showed the reporter an
official report OF the cost ofmanuiactur-
ihR SlusS ia llllb county 90 SSA p0aSN
with the cost OF importing it. For in
stance, to manufacture ten-inch dome,
opal shades here costs Sl.0T per dozen.
The foreign made glass. costs, delivered
in New York and duty paid, Sl.50 n
dozen. For this reason the Buckeye
glass works, where Mr.. Foose worked;
imports hundreds of dozens OF these
globes instead OF making them.
A man named Marber is now visiting
Emil Schmidt, in the Eighth ward. He
has just come from Lorraine, where he
worked in a glass factory. He gave Mr..
Foose the wages paid at present in
Europe. Where he worked it cost, for
wages, 81 30 to make 80 paste mold
goblets with cast stem and foot. In this
country the official scale OF the Ameri-
can Flint GIaas Workers Union, us re.
Gently signed, calls for an outlay Of
Sll so in wages for two turns-3l0
pieces-of precisely the same goblet.
Anybody can look at the printed scale
and see, or can ask any glass worker
No doubt Mr.. Marber will tell anybody
else Just what he told Mr.. Foose about
wages abroad.
