@AX MONTHS, LOSS FROM FOR
ElGN MADE TIN PLATES.

Tin plate imported and consumed
in this country last year, and upon
which big margin of profit was
paid to English capitalists, repre-
scented in it's manufacture about
100000 tons of ore. Fully one
half, or 100000 tons of this ore,
would have been produced in the
Lake Superior region had this tin
plate been made in America. Evil
IDENTIFY the Tariff on tin plate will
have q bearing on the business of
producing and carrying ore in this
part of the country Cleveland
Murine Review.
II undoubtedly will. And its
bearing will not stop at producing
and carrying ores, either on the
Lakes or in any other part of the
country. The declared value of the
263,225 tons of tin plates exported
from England to this country be-
tween January LIST and July LIST of
this year was e4,368, 0SS, or $21,-
316,27O. All this money was lost
to us. Except SO far as it was used
in substituting the "strong-striding
champions in Chicago and else
where" it neither employed Amer
ican labor nor added to American
capital; on the contrary, it reduced
our loanable capital by its proper
ton of the total amount IF bullion
exported from this country during
the last fiscal year.
If this immense sum of money
had been paid for tin plates made
in this country, it would have gone,
first, in the payment of labor in the
tin mills (Which would previously
have been built by American labor)
and in payments for steel, tin, lum-
Der for boxes, tallow and bran.
Secondly, wheat and live stock
would have brought better prices,
through the increased demand for
tallow and bran; there would be
more wood chopping and Quitting
of lumber men; our commerce with
Australia and the Straits Settlement
would have been increased and more
cargoes shipped directly to this
country instead of through London;
and ore getting, coal mining and
coking, with the transportation of
all these products, would have been
increased
1t is not too much to say that be-
fore the sum which would have been
paid for these tin plates, if they had
been made in this country, reached
the farmers who would have sup
piled all of the persons engaged
with their food, it would have been
paid five or six times over and, in
the various transfers made by it,
would have amounted to an ex-
change of over one hundred mil
lion dollars.
But if this had occurred England
would have had to send more of the
bonds and other certificates of in
debtedness, which she held before
the Barring failure, to this side for
liquidation. This, by increasing
the supply, would have reduced the
price. So it is a very good thing
for England that the duty was not
made SO high as to preclude any
hope of competition with U.s.

Three thousand dollars for an old tin
roof would be a pretty steep price, but the
man who gets the battered roof from he
old Tabernacle church at Broad street and
South Penn square. which is now being
torn away, for that sum will be in great
luck. Some years ago the paint was
scraped off the old roof and yielded 5000
in fine gold. 1t is almost certain to yield
as much this time. The gold comes from
the mint.
When gold is being coined a consider
able quantity of it volatilizes with the
smoke through the chimney, and as soon
as it strikes the air il falls. Much of it falls
on the roof of the mint, so much of it that
tho officials save even the water that falls
upon it during a shower. All the drains
from the ROO are connected with large watts
in the cellar of the mint. Before the water
finally gets to the sewer it is strained
through many blankets and sleeves which
retain the gold.
Notwithstanding all these precautions
the gold that is annually washed into the
Delaware from the mint is worth thou
sands of dollars. Every particle of dirt
swept up about the mint is carefully stored
away with the washings from the roof,
and once every year it is sold TO the high
est bidder, as it cannot be used at mint.

The trade in ginseng is a revival OF one
that formerly existed. In the autumn of
17l6 Pere Joseph Francois Lafitan, a Jesuit
father, who had arrived in the country in
lT12, and was stationed at the Sault, above
Montreal, discovered the plant. He had
been in Quebec in l1l5, and there saw a
letter Of Pere Jartoux, who had seen gin
seng 10 Tartary in 1903, and who gave a
description of it. Lahtan inquired about
it from the Indians. and examined the
country to find it.
AT this time il was worth its weight in
gold mt Pekin. A company was formed to
export it to China, Japan and Tartary.
The price at Quebec was from thirty to
forty sol or cents per pound. At first
any one was allowed to sell it, but as its
value increased the company exercised its
monopoly rights, and in l15l undertook to
exclude all others from the trade. As the
demand increased the care with which it
was obtained and prepared was relaxed.
1t was gathered out of season and imper-
fectly dried in stove ovens. Even in this
state it brought twenty-five livres per
pound.
In i752 ginseng of this character to the
value of 500, 900 livres was exported. In
l754 the value of the export had fallen to
$4,000 livres. A quantity sent to La Ro-
chelle remained unsold, but finally found
its way TO China, where its inferior quality
gave the Canadian article a bad reputa-
ton: the demand fell off and the export
ceased.-J. Jones Bell ia Popular Science

Pure olive oil from California.

The convention of olive oil producers,
recently assembled in this city, took a de-
cided stand for pure, homemade oil. This
stand was not taken a day too soon. When
a few months ago some official tests were
made of the purity Of olive oil it was
found that some brands, or rather certain
lots, had already been adulterated. Tn
temptation is very strong to keep a spuri-
Gus article on the market. Cottonseed oil
and some other vegetable oils will always
be cheaper than pure olive oil. The inn
ported article is continually Sold at a lower
price than that produced at home.
The area suited to olive culture in this
country has never been accurately defined.
In general terms it may be said to include
the country on the western side of the
S~ierras, below 42 dogs. of latitude, down to
and including parts Of Arizona and New
Mexico. Beyond this territorial area it Is
not probable that the olive will make much
Of a figure. Indeed, there is IA strong proba-
bility that for at least a whole generation
the only state in the Union that will get
much commercial prominence for the pro-
duction'of the olive will be California.
The growers who have already become
producers here are pioneers. Olive orchards
have been planted almost as freely during
the last two or three years as apple or plum
orchards. The area of olives not now in
bearing is greater than that in fruitage.
The planting will go on in coming seasons,
because there is satisfactory evidence that
the business will be a paying one. The
convention has now established the very
conditions of action Sc
curing a perfect guarantee of the purity Of
olive oil produced in California.-San Fran

An Episode of the Closing Days of the

An Episode of the Closing Days of the
War.
At the close of the civil war, many of
the leading men of the south fastened
to make their escape from the country,
fearing imprisonment and possible
death at the hands of the government.
Among these was Judah p. BENJAMIN,
the secretary of state Of the confed-
eracy.
For many days Mr.. Benjamin had
been in the forests of Florida, trying to
make his way TO the coast, where he
relied upon finding a vessel in which he
could reach England.
He kept on, living upon what roots
and berries he could find, not daring TO
approach civilization for fear of arrest,
until finally he sank at the foot of a
tree, completely exhausted. He had not
the heart to go farther, and made up his
mind TO lie where he was and give it
up.
Weak and drowsy, he was just sink
ing into a half-sleep, half-stupor when
he heard 2 harsh, uncanny voice pro
nounce the words:
'Eurrah for jeff Davisi'
Aroused, he looked about him, saw
no one and thinking he must have been
dreaming, again sank back. Once %
came the strange voice. ''Hurrah for
jeff Davisl' and now he rose to his feet
and listened.
Again the words were repeated.
Faint and weak, almost out of his
mind. he stumbled on to find the
man or thing that had uttered those
words.
He had gone hardly a hundred yards,
when he entered a clearing in which
was a cabin. He tottered to its door
and fell exhausted.
The inmates of the cabin cared for
him. and he soon became able 10 con-
tinue his journey, but before starting
he related his strange experience in the
wood to his preservers. who then told
him that the words had come from a
parrot who was in the habit of roaming
in the woods.
Reassured, Mr.. Benjamin nov told
them who he was, and with their as
~sistance, reached the coast in safety,
whence he was taken in a vessel TO
England, and, as every one knows, af-
terward became n of the most cele-
brated lawyers at the bar of that coun-
try.-Youth's Companion.

Three reasons are given to account for
the origin of the pawnbroker's sign. One
saws that the balls are used because they
were the emblem Of St Nicholas, who is
said to have given three purses Of gold to
three virgin sisters to enable them to
marry. Another legend attributes the use
OF the three balls to the members Of the
Lombard family, the first great money
lenders Of England. They were druggists
before they became capitalists, and used
the three golden pills in memory Of their
old calling. Still another story attributes
thesr original use to the Medici family Of
France. The Melieis were money lenders,
who used the three pills as a pun on their
medical sounding name.-St Louis Re
