The wood is taken from the banks of

The logs are aoated to the mill, where they
are taken out of the water and cut into
blocks three feet long. These blocks are
steamed twelve hours, after which the
bark is removed and placed in a veneering
machine, which first turns the block per-
fectly round, and then commences to take
off ribbons or veneers as they are called.
Knives are set so that the veneer is cut
into three strips, which are taken off uni
form in thickness and width. The three
ends are fastened to the reels on which the
veneers are rolled, SO that you would
think that the block was being unrolled
and rolled on another spindle Just as nib
bon would be taken off one core and put
on another. When The reels reach a GER

the finished dish at the other end of the

two girls, one of whom attends to the
feeding apparatus and the other receives
the dishes, throwing aside those that are
imperfect and counting into fifties the

five thousand dishes in ten hours. On
one day the mill made a record of one
million boxes. They have been turning
out at the rate of fifty q minute. The
dishes are piled one in another and taken
to another part of the plant, where twenty
thousand of them are put into a drying
car, which, when full, is rolled into hot

thousand dishes. Here the cars with
their freight are allowed to remain two
days, after which they are removed and
the dishes put into crates holding two

loaded into cars and shipped to st. Louis.

THE HUMMING BIRD.
How the Parent Bird Feeds Her

HOW tne fafent kt1fd Feed8 hef
Young Till They Can Fly.
In a study of the humming bird, in the
June Atlantic, Bradford Torrey describes
the humming birds feeding and training
of its young for first flight. He says:
At seven o'clock, when 1 made my second
visit, the mother was in the midst of an
other days hard work. Twice within five
minutes she brought food to the nesting.
Once the little fellow-not so very little
now-happened to be facing east, while
the old bird slighted, as she has invariably
done, on the western side. The youngs-
ter, instead of facing about, threw back
his head and opened his beak. "Look
out, there" exclaimed my fellow observer;
you'll break his neck if you feed him in
that way" But she did not mind. Young
birds necks are not so easily broken.
Within ten minutes of this time she fed
number one, giving him three doses
They were probably small, however land

more, opening his bill with an appealing
air. The action in this case was particu-
larly well seen, and the vehement Jerking,
while the beaks were glued together,
seemed almost enough to pull the young
fellows head off. Within another ten
minutes the mother was again ministering

brother had never been seen to do, and

her habit three weeks before. She meant

The good housewife who receives butter

TRADE SCHOOLS.

A1AA DH SS1AOoASs
The trade school of the Master Builders
exchange in Philadelphia has just closed
its first year very successfully. 1t has had
130 students the past year, of whom So
have just graduated as apprentices fully
equipped with the rudiments of their
chosen trades. The object of this school
is the direct and immediate improvement
of the skill of carpenters, bricklayers,
plasterers, stonecutters, blacksmiths,
painters, plumbers, etc., engaged in the
building industries. The builders have
seen the necessity of such training in the
gradual degradation of skill caused by the
admission of half trained men to the vari-
GUS branches of the business. The result
of education will be to give American born
and city born mechanics fair field in COM
petition with trained foreign born mechan-
les or men from the country districts who
are imperfectly trained.
This country has not done what it
should have done in this direction, and
it is far behind other countries. For in
stance, in Russia there are fully 1900
industrial schools, with 10000 pupils.
Belgium has over $4,000 pupils in such
schools, Denmark over 5000, Italy over
$4,000, and other nations a like percentage,
while in this country, where we specially
need such instruction because of the rapid
development of taste for high-class re-
suits in all the products of artisan labor,
we are singularly wanting in means to
make the skilled artisans that are needed.
This defect in our educational system is
at last being realized, and it is probable
that it will soon be remedied. The sooner

This is a world of change. Pennsylvania
no longer leads in this country in the pro-
duction of iron ore, as the figures show
that Alabama's output of iron ore last year
exceed that of Pennsylvania by good
margin. This is significant. While ten
years ago the output of Pennsylvania was
twelve times that of all the southern States,
Alabama then ranking only seventh on the
list, to-day that State stands below single
one of the southern States in the amount
of iron ore produced.
American business men returning from
England report the financial situation
there to be anything but encouraging.
Frederick D. Tappen of the Gallatin
national bank of New York says that
credit is so attenuated, has been drawn
out to so fine point, that it is likely to
break at the slightest cause And while
the English banks have greatly strength
ened themselves, and intend if possible to
keep the gold obtained from America, en-
terprise is being contracted all along the
line in the belief that long season of dull
ness is to follow.
