WHATIT WAS.

1t was not a night in June;
There was no gentle Southern breeze ;
There was not even any moon
To cast a shadow of the trees
There was no stream to sing of bliss
Beneath dreamy summer sky
There was not anything oil this
And vet we loved, l know not why.
Twas in dwelling circumspect,
Where no romanse was ever read
| do not even recollect
The very words my lover said.
| shall not linger all my life
On memories of long ago,
Because, he asked me for his wife.
And that is all want to know.

WHAT THE NEWSPAPERMAN PICKS
p.uUther Interesting Sermon De-
Delivered in the Methodist Epis-
copal Church Last Evening.
by Rev. William Powick.

1.-THE Voyage of Life is the topic So
lected for a series of sermons on Sunday
evenings by Rev. William Powck, pastor
of the Methodist Episcopal church on East
Oak street. The sermons are creating con-
siderable interest and attracting large con-
gregations. Some point ia the navigation
Of ship is taken up and explained each
evening and then moral lessons are drawn
and enforced
Last night the subject was 1.-THE Log"
A ships log was exhibited and the process
of "heaving the log" was described. "The
method by which the navigator finds his
way across the sea by dead reckoning was
explained. From the skill and care re-
quired in keeping the log-book was drawn
the lesson of thoughtful solicitude for the
welfare of the soul. What the log is to
the mariner, experience is to the christian.
1t tells him of his progress in grace and
virtue. Men ought to be as careful of the
soul as they are for the body, but exper-
ience proves that they are not, The para
| dox of the age is that while it demands
scientific precision and NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
sLration in material things it puts premium
on indefniteness of doctrine, uncertainty OF
experience and looseness of morals. This
solicitude should be constant not spas
modic. Men move too often by fits and
starts, being governed by impulses rather
than principles. As the sailor never re-
lakes his effort nor ceases his vigilance, SC
the christian should constantly watch and
pray" The series will be continued fol-
several weeks.

One day there was an explosion in the mine
McGuiness was 80 badly injured that he
was disfgured for life MCKINLEY escaped
injury, heard that McGuiness was so badly
burned that his life hung by thread, and
struck out for more congenial employment
IN Mexico. In due time McGuiness re-
covered and returned to town. He had
never heard OF Mckinley after the OK
plosion and supposed him to be dead. This
morning stranger arrived in town in
search of work. He stepped into the Wat

beverage was handed, the customer looked

Some Very Interesting Facts Con-
cerning Tin Plate,

CeIlhng lin Blate,
The British iron and steel market is dull.
The recovery which usually comes after
the midsummer depression has got set
back this year, more especially in the steel
trade, by the withdrawal of the tinpate
makers demand for soft steel blIets. This
depression is all the moce palpable owing
to the extraordinary. demand in the first
half OF the year, due to the immense ton
mage Of tin plate ordered by American i'm
p5rters TO anticipate the increase of duty,
which went into effect on July l. The
shutdown Of the tin-plate plants for q
month, beginning on the lst instant left
hole in the steel trade market that is not
only severely felt in billeLs, but in other
lines, inasmuch as the mills which had
been supplying material for sheets for tin
aud terne plate are seeking other markets
for their output, and of course affect these
markets.
With so close connection Of blood with
the locality which must be so hard hit by
the birth and bringing up of Americas in
| fant industry, American citizens, native
and British born, must feel sympathy with
those who are hurt, while at the same time
congratulating themselves that so import
ant addition is being made to the demand
| for home workmen. Mr.. Joseph D.
| Weeks, editor of the american Mqnufac-
| t,ror and former secretary of the Western
Iron Association, has made a calculation of
this demand based on the importation of
| tin plate during the twelve months ending
| April 30, last, which was 422 234 tons. To
make this would require | 100 900 tons Of
iron ore melted into $4,000 tons of pig, re-
! quiring 6G0, 900 tons of coke. In the sheet
mills there would be 100000 tons of sheet
| iron or steel to he rolled, with the equiva-
| lent of l, 500 900 tons of coal consumed in
the mills. Mr. Weeks sums up rs follows
| Now, taking no account Of the men en-
gagged in the transportation Of materials to
their point Of consumption, nor of the men
engaged in producing the lumber or maxi
| ing the boxes to box this amount of tin
plate, of which some S,OOO,O 600 boxes would
| be required, we would have the following
as the number of men working 800 days in
the year that would be required to produce
the materials named above necessary to
make 422, 234 net tons of tin plate:

This is equivalent to 5,64S, 600 days la
Dor, This, at an average of $3.50 per day,
would be equivalent to Sl4, l24,0OO paid out
in wages. The fact that the declared value
of the amount of tin plate above named
was S28, 825, 295 will show that my estimate
is probably far below the mark l think it
would be fair to assume that fully 1000
people would be given employment di-
rectly if the amount of tin plate named
were made in this country, and more than
four times this number of people given
employment indirectly.
