Catarrh Of the ears and catarrh of the
Eustachian tubes often cause deafness.
Catarrh of the stomach loads the stomach
with tough phlegm and interferes with
digestion. Catarrh of the gall bladder
obstructs the outflow of the bile, which
is absorbed into the circulation, and thus
gives rise to jaundice. Catarrh Of the
bladder is a dangerous disease, from the
difficulty Of getting rid of the mucus.

at my body. No conversation occurred be

slant"
The defense proceeded at once with the
case, Col King taking the stand.
"On the morning of the killing of David
Poston," he said, Il went into Lees store
TO get some cigars. AS left the store |

draw the charges he had made against me

nounced him as a scoundrel. He then
called me q number of vile names. He
then put his hand behind his overcoat,

steps Then, as he advanced, | gave him
one shot. ] could have given him five
more, but just gave him one to repel the

to be a copy of bill written by Col King,
setting forth that his married life was un-

Value of Our Forests.

Some figures recently issued by the
Department of Agriculture show the
great Importance of our woods and
forests to the industries of the United
States. The total annual product of all
kinds of wood material is about twenty
five billion cubic feet, equal to solid
bulk of mile square on the base and
a little more than one-sixth of a mile
high. 1t is equal to the annual in
crease of 500. 900. 600 acres of forest in
fair condition. The value is about one
billion dollars, being ten times that of
the entire gold and silver output. three
times the product of all the coal and
other minerals, and nearly three times
the farm value of the wheat crop. 1t
exceeds the gross income of all the
railroads and other transportation
companies It would suffice to pay
the Indebtedness of all the States, ex-
cept New York and Pennsylvania, in
Guiding that of all counties, townships,
school districts, and cities within those
States Gin 1880, and would more than
wipe out the remaining public debt of
the United States. Ten years ago
manufactures of all kinds held the
first place in Importance as measured
by dollars, agriculture second, and
forest products ranked third. 1t is
thought that since then the lumber in
dustry has enlarged to such an extent
that the forest production now occu-
pies the second place. if not the first.
The capital employed in milling the
product, exclusive of harvesting, is
roughly estimated at $3.50. 600. 600. and
more than 500. 900 people are employed
in the direct manufacture of forest and
saw-mill products alone. without
counting the employment afforded by
its transportation to points of con-
sumption and remanufacture there

Vacation Later On.

Col. Francis Peabody of Boston. talk
ing to correspondent of the st. Louis
Democrat. said the mistake .
great many people make about this
time of the year is to take vacations
when the, mercury is away up in the
top of the tube. That seems to me the
most unwise course to follow. What
enjoyment can a fellow have out of
vacation when about the only thing he
can do is to sit still and to be cool or
lie idly and fish and smoke? The only
way to keep cool, as maintain, is 60
work hard and get yourself and keep
yourself in a steady perspiration.
That's what 1 always do in hot weather.
and to make sure of it. do little ex-
ira hard work. such as horseback rid
ing. Then I'm cool.
/ take my vacation in the autumn
the proper time 10 take it, it seems to
me. Then, if ever. come perfect
days for vacation, because you can,
indulge your fancy for sport and not
feel uncomfortab e. You can fish and
hunt and shoot and gallop and tear
about and enjoy life as it should be en-
joyed. You don't have to look for fun
in the bowl of pipe or the cool depths
of a bottle or Puck of cards or >
siesta in the surf. / tell you the man
that takes vacation at this time of the
year is not as wise as the man who

The FACTS About Tin Plate.

Many inquiries have been made as to
the suppositlous tin plate works in
Philadelphia. To all these 1t may briefly
be answered that there is no tin plate
mill in Philadelphia The concerns
which tin the black plates that are al
ready rolled are not tin plate mills.
They merely buy the black plates and
and then dip them; process both
cheap and simple A dipping pot, with
man and boy to handle the sheets,
ten feet square. But complete tin
plate works is essentially rolling
mill. with all the costly appurtenances
and appliances of such an enterprise.
The actual timing of the sheets is one
of the smallest items connected with
the manufacture.
The dipping of black plates to mako
bright tin or terne plates-the terne
mixture being composed of lead and tin
has been carried on in this country
with more or less success for the last
fifteen years. This portion of the III
dustry is no new thing in the American
industrial world. Up to the present
time there has been found no American
iron or steel suitable for making tin
plate or American pig-tin in sufficient
quantity to constitute commercial
factor in the tin-plate trade The sup
ply of bright plate for canning and Of
terne plate for roofing must largely
come, as heretofore from importationA
The price to consumers will be en-
HANGED by the difference between the
old duty of cent per pound and the
Mckinley duty of 2 A10 cents, that is
all
Careful investigation by experts has
shown that to establish a genuine tin
plate mill in this country would be 3
task involving a years time in the con-
struction of buildings, furnaces and
machinery, and an expenditure of from
$3.50, 600 to $500, 600 before a single plate
should have been dipped. Such mill
would be large enough to make tin plate
in commercial quantities, and if the
product should compare favorably in
quality and in price with the imported
plate it would find a ready market. It
is needless to say, however, that the
dealers in tin plate are ignorant of the
existence of any such plant in this
country, nor has the construction of It
here been seriously proposed. All talk
| of tin plate mill building in the United
States at the present time is indulged
in either for advertising purposes or fo1
| political effect.

CHILD OF THE CITY STREETS.

Well may you sigh for flowers,
Child of the city streetsl
For leaf from greenwood bowers
Where the cooling breeze retreats
Only vernal CLINT
Cools the fever of your desire:
Only miser's hint
OF the beauty that lifts us higher.
Where you would have butterflies gay
And birds to sing untiring,
Falls the shadow of want all day
To deaden the souls aspiring.
Not for your feet the clover,
Child Of the city streetsi
Stone presses under and over.
Your heart in. a prison BEATS
Where you would have flowers blooming
And waters with rainbow spray,
A mountain of stone is looming
To shut the heavens away
Not for your hot caress
Blooms the lily, white and cool;
1t floats in idleness,
A dream on the woodland pool.
Only in sleep for you
The fruited bough dips low;
You wander dreamland through
70 find where the yicie:S grow,
Stone walls press back the green
God gave for tired eyes,
A narrow court would wean
Your gaze from the very skies.
Hard is your path of duty,
Barren Of childhood sweets,
Well may we sigh for beauty.
