Substitute for Steel.

An odd cargo of African vegetable
flbea tough as steel itself, is being
landed at Hanover street wharf from
the Italian bark Nuova Monde. The
vessel brought 1926 bales of it from
Oran, an:FAlgerian seaport in the
Mediterranean Sea. The fiber has
been found to be so elastic that it can
be used as a substitute for springs
and the like in the manufacture of
furniture backs and seats. 1t is SO
expansive and SO easily affected by
higher temperature in its dry state
that the bales are held in place by
bands of heavy steel. The pecul-
iarity of the grass is that it thriyes
only around the volcanic mountain
slopes of Oran, and fourishes up to
within a short distance of the craters
themselves. The latter are always
in a semi-active state, and the earth
around is so warm that not plant
of any kind can thrive or is ever seen
to grow except this steel-like plant.
When dry and flattened out it will
pierce body like an arrow.-Phila-

Paper Is Crowding Out Wood.

Paper is fighting wood hard in the
manufacture of boxes, buckets, and
even packing-cases, and 50 perfect is
the manufacturing process that in
many instances nothing but the won
derful difference in weight can afford
a cIew to the presence OF paper in the
manufacture. Paper packing-cases are
indestructible, apparently, and the
saving they effect in freight is enor-
nous. Thousands of dollars are al
ready invested in this comparatively
new industry. and new company,
with S1.25O, 900 capital, has been or
ganized to introduce paper-boards in
to other lines. Experiments have
been made with buggy wagons ana
other things where lightness is need
ed and paper fioorings in lieu of boards
will soon be heard of. 1t is easy to
render the material flre-proof in
course of construction, and this is an
additional advantage that is highly
annreciated.-St. Louis Globe Demo-

s. HaySeed.'

There can be little doubt that
distaste for the farmers life is Guilt
waited among country boys by the car
features of the farmer which are pub
lished in comic papers and "humOI-
Gus" books, and by the fear of being
classed among the people whom these
caricaturists are pleased to call hay
Seeds"
Boys are accustomed to see these
funny pictures, Pin which a sort of
farmer who is extremely unusual, and
may be said not to exist at all, is set
forth as the type or example of farm
ers in general. And as boys are some
times unreasoning, they are apt to
say to themselves. 81 will not be rid
iculed in that way when [ grow up; l
will get out of the 'hayseed bust
ness. ,"
In this way not only is an injustice
tive injury.
The American people have a broad
sense of humor, and no doubt delight
in caricature: but they do not delight
in injustice or misunderstanding, when
they are able to recognize it as such.
For this. reason, it may be hoped
that the caricaturing of the farmer,
which has certainly been greatly over
done, may soon cease from the dis
taste for it which is pretty sure to
arise.
The farmer himself can afford to
take the. "hayseed" ridicule good-na-
turedly. At recent farmers demon
stration in the West men rode in a
procession dressed in cOwhide boots,
patched trousers, and ragged straw
hats, carrying pitchforks on their
shoulders. They had adopted the
guise which the caricature gives
them as way of showing that they
are independent Of that sort Of rid
icule.
But in the case of the young this
spirit of independence is not often so
strong. With little thought, they
must see that an Just caricature
does not really affect the credit, and
honor of their occupation; but they
are often ambitious of what is called
consideration or respectability, and
are likely to be unconsciously affected
by misrepresenting pictures and sto-
rieS.
1t is the duty of the young to bear
in mind that nothing is more respect
able or digniffed than the life of the
independent farmer, and the duty of
those who have it in their power to
raise a laugh in the public prints to
remember that they, no less than Sc
rious writer's, have responsibility to
truth and justice. Youths Com

Decrease of the French Population.

The relative decrease of the French
population by the declining birth
rate troubles France very much, but
there seems to be no help for it. The
balance of power in Europe has been
shifted even more cOnclusiyely by the
birth rate than on the battle field. A
hundred years ago there were three
Frenchmen to every Prussian. To
day there are only four Frenchmen to
every three PrusSianS. For every
F'renchman born last year there were
five Prussians. For every ], 900 in
habitants there are 80 births in Ger
many, 30 in England, and only % in
France. The population OF France
by the new census is 3S,095, 900; that
of the German Empire, 40, 422, 928.
During the last five years France has
increased by 20S,000, Germany by
?, 567, 224. In the preceding five
years the increase was sos, 900 and
1921, CAB, respectively. Even now
the increase in France is largely due
to foreign residents. Whatever may
be the fortune of armies, Germany is
beating France in the cradle. -Bos-
ton Advertiser.

A little girl near us was one day

the little thing that she asked the

it upstairs and laid it on her bed, ard
after she had fondled it enough for
once" scampered downstairs, calling
to her mother:
Mamma, mamma! I've got a live
doll! [ always wanted one, and now
I've got it.
The baby was found, and the story
frankly told, but though the beggar
woman was sought all over the town,
no trace of her could be discovered.
Meanwhile the baby's little "owner"
begged so hard that it should be kept
that the parents yielded, and the liv-

In the south of England. The elder
Gray was a Protestant, but religious
scrupleS did not stand in the way of
his marrying an English heireSs who
always has been devOtedly attached
to the Catholic faith.
1t has been said that the man who
controls the Freeman's journal might
govern Ireland if his ambition lay in
that direction, and young Mr.. Gray"
is believed to entertain such ambi-
ton. The paper has just passed
through critical period and is not
yet restored fully to its old position.
1t is probable, however, that Mr.. Par
nell's death will unite the party and
thereby revive the fortunes OF the
Freeman. Within a few weeks the
policy of that paper wheeled around
from ardent support to violent oppo-
sition to Mr.. Parnell. The old staff
remained loyal, however, to the young
proprietor, and it's members have all
returned to enlist under his banners
again. Mr.. Gray is the grandson OF
Sir John Gray, M. P, a prominent
Dublin politician who succeeded in
supplying his native city with good
water from the Wicklow Springs.
For such local improvement he was

A MOVING BUTCHER SHOP.
Meat Sold in Mexico City from Donkeys'
Backs by Itinerant Butchers.


Only the better classes of MeXicans
eat meat, and one of the great fields
of American investment is in the
packing interests of Mexico. Hams
and beef bring high prices, and the
meat business of the city is managed
by monopolies Good beeves are
worth from $25 to $50 a head. There
is more mutton eaten than beef. The
meat wagons of Mexico City are
mules. Take one of the greasiest,
dirtiest mules you can find and fasten
a framework Of hooks to saddle on
his back. Let this framework eX-
tend about foot above the mule, and
on the hooks hang the halves and
quarters of beeveS, so that the blood
drips from them on the ground. Then
you have the Mexican butcher cart of
the mountains. The butcher or meat
peddler wears a great blanket about
his shoulders, a broad brimmed hat
on his head, and his feet are bare. If
you buy quarter of beef, he will
carry it into your house on his head,
and if you want slice he will hack
off a piece for you, and charge you
about the same for the neck as the
loin. The Mexicans sell every part Of
the animal, and in every market you
will find little cook-shops in which
shreds of beef are fried and offered
for sale. These are for the Indian
customers, who stand about and eat
the greasy morsel with their fingers,
and without the use of knife, fork,
or plate. In Mexico City the butch
ering is more carefully done, and beef
is comparatively cheap. You can get
a roast for eighteen cents pound,
but pork is more expensive. The pork
business of Mexico City is controlled
by Mexican, who has made millions

shoot successfully. "Snap-shooting is
generally understood to consist in put
ting the gun to the shoulder and firing
the instant it is in position; making the
allowance to the right, left, under, or
above, as the case may require, before
raising the gun; just as you point your
finger, instinctively, to any object, with
out having to sight along it. Others are
just as sure that no one ever shot decent
ly unless he followed the bird with the
sight on the gun and covered it before
firing. Some again, insist that the gun
must swing along with the course of the
bird after pulling the trigger In the
opinion of an authority, every one who
has shot very much acquires style pc
culiar to himself, and cannot do better
than depend on his temperament and
the kind of birds he has had the most
practice on.
He also says the most difficult shot is
a bird coming directly toward you and
flying about twenty feet above the
ground. 81 have been quite successful
in this shot" he goes on, "by holding
directly at the bird until he is within
range, and then, just as 1 touch the
trigger, | raise the muzzle of the gun
about SIX inches. I would only advise
trying this shot where there is more
than one bird, and you want to use the
second barrel. When there is only one
incoming bird, wait until he passes over
you, and then by shooting under him,
more or less, according to the speed and
elevation at which he is flying, you will
be pretty sure to kill.
"In cross shots, at thirty yards and
over, hold above the line of flight and
from six to nine feet ahead of the bird.
This may seem entirely too much, but
have frequently shot Bob White when
flying parallel to a rail-fenee by aiming
the full length of the rail ahead of him. :"
