The best paid trade is that of the
bank note engravers, who earn all the
way from $40 to $500 q week. They
have never had a trade union. Their
protection consists in the fact that their
trade requires q great deal of artistic
ability and good many years of prac-
tice. When they become expert they
have no difficulty in getting employ
ment, because there Is always sharp
competition among employers to secure
the best workmen. During the war,
and for years after, there were not
enough of them to be had in the world,
and many engravers were brought in
from other businesses to aid i, some
part Of the work. The bank note
printers, known as plate printers, also
had things all their own way for num-
Der Of years. They had hourishing
union and got all the prices they asked,
and then there werc not half enough t.

1H1sss there were four million bushels

In 1883 there were four million bushels
OF oysters received at Baltimore from
the Chesapeake bay beds, but this sea-
son the receipts to the same date have
fallen below two million bushels, while
packing houses throughout the State
are closed, and from all parts of the bay
comes the story of exhausted beds The
violation of the law and the consequent
destruction OF the young oyster is re-
sponsiblc for this condition of things.
The law is dead letter, and q great
industry is being ruined. Ten years ago
Professor Brooks uttered q warning
against the wholesale depletion OF the
oyster beds; but the work has continued.

MRS. KATE REYNOLDS, of Pittsburgh,
Pa, went skating few days ago with
her husband, accompanied also by an
old lover. The husband could not keep
up with the wife and her old lover, and
they skated away from him out of sight
and into the dim somewhere. They have
not yet returned. It is one of the very
saddest ice stories on record. Absolute
" nothing is known of the pair save
the certainty that they skated into a

SAVE THE TREES.

So Pleads the State Forestry Association
Tho Ann al Meeting.
The annual meeting of the State For
estry Association was held in st. Paul
yesterday afternoon. S. M. Owen was
one of the leading speakers. He main
tanned that the National management
of forestry affairs was bot upon our
civilization and that greed for timber
destruction had been fostered and no
provision made for replanting or pres
ervation.
Secretary Smith urged timber plant
ing. General Becker said that unless
we plant trees on our prairies and pre-
serve the existing forests of the State
they will soon become unfit for habita-
ton. Officers for the ensuing year were
elected as follows:

The Census Bureau reports that the
total consumption Of all forms of dis
titled spirits in the arts, manufactures
and medicine in the United States dur
Ing the year 1889 was 1O,976, s42 proof
gallons. As the consumption for all
purposes in 1883 was 75,s45, 352 gallons,
about fifteen per cent is used in the
manner above described. 1t is open to
conjecture, therefore, that the remain
ing IS, ooo, 900 gallons were drank, being
considerably more than one gallon per
head OF the population of two years
ago If the enumeration of last June be
accepted as an accurate basis on which
to calculate.

IT seems that two hundred and eighty
nine German school children committed
suicide in the six years ended 1883. The
suicides have been much more numer-
GUS in the elementary than in the
high schools. The most prolific
cause of suicide in the elementary
schools was the fear Of punishment, to
which the deaths of forty-five boys and
twenty-three girls are attributed. In
the high schools disappointment at the
results of examinations claimed the
greatest number of victims.

IT is the inevitable outcome of any
scientific discovery that numerous imi-
tations and decisions, besides actual
counterfeits and humbugs, follow in it's
train. These must be sifted carefully,
and the physician who does not thor
oughly and frankly state all the details
of his remedy can not complain if the
public fails to have confidence in it.

The so-called slang phrase ''too thin, I"
which, like many others which date
back beyond Colonial days is very often
cited as Yankeeism by the Britishers,
IL English from way back" In Smol-
let's ''Peregrine Pickle" the hero in
forms Emilia that he is going abroad.
This brings tears to her eyes, but she
says that they are caused by the hot
tea which she is pouring. Which
leads the author to remark that
the excuse is ''too thin to i'm
pose on her lover. The phrase is
also found in Shakespeare's Henry
Vl11.." Act ", Scene 2, with the same
meaning.
