OF blackberry have been known for
many years, but it is only within a
short time that they have attracted
much attention. A young mar after
serving in the civil war settled in West
Virginia and found dewberries growing
wild, which he removed to his garden.
In 1875 five plants from these were dis
tributed among friends, and from these
five the present cultivated stock of Lu-
cretias has sprung, 1t was named Lu-
cretia for Mrs. Lucretia Garfield. The
five original plants are still vigorous

STEEL RAIL TRUST PROFITS

Lower Prices For Fig iron, Lower Wages,
and Higher Prices For Rails Mako Enor-
nous Profits.
Early in 1891 the steel rail trust
clinched its grip upon the market for
steel rails by the consolidation of the
two mills at Scranton, Pa. Previous
to this time, though both mills were
members of the trust, one of them was
in the habit OF cutting prices on favor
able occasions. Their consolidation
under one management removed this
disturbing influence. No better illus
tration of the control which the trust
has over production and prices can be
given than the average monthly prices
OF steel rails in 1901 As computed by
the American Iron and Steel ~associa-
ton, the average prices of Bessemer
pig iron and steel rails at the mills in
Pennsylvania have been as follows:

PEI NAMES.
IN People Do Not Have the Same Ideas
Respecting Them.

Respecting Auenis
The terms employed by the people OF
one nation as the choicest phrases in
their vocabulary Of endearment are
often employed for quite the opposite
purpose by other people. One of the
most familiar and most coveted phrases
of endearment among the French, for
instance, is my little pig and my
little puppy dog is also much appre-
eiated.
When a French husband calls his wife
IA cat" she does not fly into a passion
Of resentment, as an English-speaklng
wife might do under the same circum-
stance, but takes it as a gentle compli'
ment
On the other hand, if he were to call
her a duck" as the American husband
might his wife, she would be very much
offended.
Not long ago, in Germany, letters
written by the late Count Won Moltke
to his betrothed were published. In
these the great soldier frequently
called the lady my little kernel of
coffee"
This strikes one as a very queer pet
name, and has suggested to II cynical
authority that, in view of the writer's
character and profession, my little
grain of powder or my little lump
of Lead would have been more appro-
pirate.
In England ''moppet' and ''mopsey"
are favorite terms of endcarment for
little girls and swecthearts, Both of
these words signitied, originally, a
kind of cloth or rag. The name was
first given to a rag doll, and eventu-
ally came to be applied tlatteringly to
the little girl who owned the mop
pet"
A PERSONS individual likings and oc-
cupation frequently supply him with
terms OF endearment. A farmer some
times calls his little girl his colt"
and a ~well-known fisherman, TO whom
the creatures of the brook were as the
apple of his eye, used to begin his let
tiers to his wife, when he was on his
fishing expeditions, with the words,
My dear little specified trout!'-

A WARNIIle TO MOTHERS.
Too Much UnSeltishnesS LIKELY to Make
Children Splush

Too Much UnselHshnesS LIKELY to Make
Children Selfish.
There is too much Of herin the home
She may be the patient, self-sacrihcing
mother, who gets over-tired that Others
may go free; she may be an elder sis.
ter who has sacrificed all the graces
and gifts of an individual life to a
family of younger brothers and sisters.
Perhaps she is a maiden aunt, who
smoothes the way wi h anxious eager
ness for everybody's feet but her own,
or a grandmother, whose burdens null
tiply with the coming of the second
generation, because the young mother
has not learned the secret of living her
life Independently.
Whatever emergency of life may
have called out her uusel6shness,
there it is, and, as | said before, there
is altogether too much of it.
Why? Because there is such a thing
as an unselfishness that passes beyond
its PROPER bounds and becomes mean.
spirited.
1t lays aside that proper recognition
OF self which commands respect and
which is wholly necessary for indiyi iual
woll-being. That the mother should
be the head, the brains of her family.
what is more fitting? That she should
be hands and feet, that she should
serve before them like a hired assist
ant, a thousand times no!
These unselfsh women, in their
anxiety 10 exempIify the golden rule,
quito forget that self, after all, under.
lies its measure of values. If a grea.
many women treated their ncighbors
no better than they treat themselves,
this would be sad world for neighbor-
Illness
And this unselfishncss is sure to work
mischief in "A family, too. For un-
selfishness is unlike most other virtues,
in that it breeds its opposites, not its
own kind.
In a family where the wife or the
mother, or the elder daughter, is
anXionsly unseltish; where she watches
every opportunity to do for the other
members of the family what there is
every good reason they should do for
themselves, these Others learn quickly
enough first to accept it, then to as.
sumo it and finally TO demand il.
And so there comes out of the home
of the unselfish woman, a flock of care
less, se~lf-seeking children, intent on
themselves, criminally needless of
everybody else, trampling on the
of others, and having to unlearn.
perhaps late in life, the selfish lessons
they learned attheir unseltish mothers
knee.
Rarely is it that the lesson is learned
as it should be- and so is kept mp the

bessemer pig iron is now selling in
Pittsburgh at Sl4 90 per ton. But not
a ton of steel rails can be bought at
less than $50 at the mills. In the re.
port on the cost of producing iroa and
steel products in the United States, for
which Investigations were made in 1889.
the commissioner of labor says: ''The
department has been positively in.
formed relative to the cost of making
steel rails in several of the very larg-
est establishments in the United States.
and there is no shadow of a doubt in
the mind of the writer that in these
establishments the actual cost of stand
ard steel rails is, and has been for some
time, within a few cents of S2a per tea. "
The recent heavy reductions made in
wages by the steel rail trust and the
fall in price of Bessemer pig iron from
an average of SIS IS per ton In 1889.
when the commissioner gathered his
statistics, to an average OF St5. 95 per
ton in 1891, have greatly reduced the
cost of producing steel rails. The pres.
ent cost of producing rails is not over
$40 For every ton the trust produces.
therefore, it makes a profit of at least
81. Under the higher price for pig
iron in 1891 the cost of rails was moi
over $40 per ton aud the profit was $40
per ton. In 1891 the trust produced
1885, $50 tons of steel rails. The profits.
therefore, were not far from sl3, 800, 900.
Doubtless these large profits have en-.
ebled Mr.. Carnegie's mills to declare
