Obsruuious Servants,

A lady recently returned from several
years residence i'll Japan adds another
to the many tales of tho cobsequiousness of
Japanese servants. Inleaving the house
one day i'll tho care of his nurse her
young son slipped and fell, as children
will, receiving no injury beyond one or
two trivial scratches. Tho nurse was
inconsolable, however She upbraide,l
herself i'll the most cxtravagant terms,
and called down all sorts of dire conse-
qucnccs upon her head. The other serv-
ants, to whom the affair was Immediate
ly communicated by the unhappy maid,
were equally shocked and outraged, ana
the jabbering and chattering lasted in
terminably.
For weeks afterward tho occurrence
was referred to as ~ dreadful calamity,
and the day of its happening served for
a long time as q prominent date by
which to place other events. 1t is fur
ther stated that the accident was not
witnessed by any member of the family.

$500 PER ANNUM
Pe1nsylvan.:.'s Barr Belt,

An interview with a citizen of Ridg-
way, Elk county, develops some facts
of interest concerning the tanning in
dustry. Ridgway is the centre of the
hemlock bark industry of northern Penn
sylvania. The hemlock industry of the
state, said he, sis about rs b. l50 miles
in extent, and the tanneries located in
that district have extra facilities for Sc
curing bark. The cost of he1nlock bark
at Eidgway is about IS per cord. The
tanneries located at that point consume
about 10000 cords a year. Large guam
titles of their products find ready markets
i'll Europe" Said one of the leading fam
nerS:
"Thc cost of bark transportation has
become of late years u very important
element in the success of the tanning in
dustry. Bark is bulky and cost of
transportation long distances adds very
materially to the cost of leather. Penn
sylvania has advantages over New Eng
land tanning centers by reason of its
nearncss to West Virginia bark regions.
Tanneries located in the very midst of
the bark districts have, of course, special
advantages which count in these DAYS of
close margins. We have reached u time
when all opportunities for reducing cost
must be watched, and the manufacturer
who !ails to do so is apt to be left."-

Limestone for Oysters,

The oyster planters Of Long Island

Hudson river with which to make oyster
beds on which the spawn can attach
itself. These planters first used all the
oyster shells they could get from towns

Then they brought them by the ship

however, broke up rapidly and We're
