feet of lumber to the Australian colonies,
 where the native wood is too hard for
 building and joining. The kinds of tim
 Der most in demand are sugar pine, red
 wood, spruce and Oregon" pine. The last | named is used for bridge work and the ex-
 terior of houses. For light work, sugar
 pine Is used the most, and Is now preferred
 to Michigan clear pine. Redwood is em- ployed in cheap cabinet work, fittings, etc.
 The spruce is often sold ss Oregon pine. The lumber trade with Australia, how ever, has fallen of sharply of late, owing
 to the collapse of building societies and the bursting of the land boom, and itis es-
 timated that the present supply of Oregon
 and Washington lumber now in the hands of the importers, about 12, ,000, ,000 super
 ficial feet, will fill the demand for the next twelve months.
 After telling the story of the English woman intending to visit the Worlds fair, who said that she would prefer to board in the suburbs of Chicago while doing so, and therefore wrote to 6 friend asking her to engage rooms in Bangor, Maine, the Buffalo Commercial comments as follows: 'tNow this seems very funny; but we have heard Boston woman, who made no little of her education, aek if 1t was the Hudson river that ran from Buffalo to the Falls. Nay, more, not 6 month ago a Buffslonian was asked by 8 New Yorker, who derives his education from a very popular university not e theusand miles from Boston, whether the shortest way from NewYork to Buffalo was not by the Pennsylvania Central And when he was mildly assured by his parents that such geographical ignorance was not to his credit, he blushingly answered that he had not travelled much in this country and really did not know anything about the "West."
 The report of the latest census in Bengal, which has just been published, upsets sev- eral beliefs which hitherto have found gen. eral acceptance. For instance, 1t proves that the natives, instead of being averse to leaving their ancestral villages, are steadily moving from more densely peopled areas to those where the population is less crowded; also that widow remarriage is practically universal in Behsr, Orissa, ota-Nagpore, and among the lower csstes of Bengal proper, and is unknown only among a very few high castes everywhere and the more respectable Sudras of Bengal proper. The report also states that infant does not exist to any appreciable avfapk axoart ;n ,orkbaoat pabar a d an,ooo the Brahmins, Kayasths, and other purely Sudra castes of western Bengal. It also shows the great progress of Mohsmmedan- ism, which has increased more than per cent in Bengal proper in the last decade, while the increase in Hinduism is less than 5 per cent. This fact is explained to be due to the desire on the part of the lowest | castes to adopt religion which treats all | men as equal.

TARIFF REFORM.

TARIFF REFORM.
 Last fall the werkingmen of this coun- try unwisely and blindly voted for tariff reform and a change in the administration. Some of the effects of that vote have been very unpleasantly in evidence during the last two weeks. It is plain that investors are afraid that the change is not going to benefit the business of the country. There fore they are trying to make themselves safe by selling what they can get money for. Unless there is @ decided change in the situation soon the workingmen will have to take their share of the dose. And if the Democrats carry out the programme of tariff reform which has been announced there will be more and long continued trouble. Tariff reform of the kind de- soribed in the Chicago platform and by the halcyon and vociferous Watterson would bring the workingmen of this country into competition with the low wages of Eng land and other foreign countries. What this might mean Is shown by @ statement made by Albert Bailey, an Englishmsn who works in the Asssbet mill, Maynard, Massachusetts. He says: Last fall had a cousin come from England, who is spinner (and 8 spinner there means what we should term boss spinner in this country), his wages were e1, 10s., or equivalent to $7.6O. Now, here he sim ply TUES the machine and can earn from $l0 to $l2 per week. Last week his brother-inlav came here; he was fore man rag grinder in England, with wages at twenty-four shillinge, or equivalent to s6 per week. got him work running folding and winding cloth, with pay at $7.5 per week, and he says that such work as that would be done by boys | pr girls in England at about eight shillings, equal to g per week.
 In view of such facts MT. Bailey cannot | understand how workingmen could vote for the proposed tariff reform. Who cant

Tesla, the famous electrician, came nat urally enough by his inventive ability. It is said that his mother found her lot cast in wild country, far from any of the con- veniences of civilization. She had. how ever, inherited an inventive spirit from her father. an inventor and constructor of machinery, and she reeolutely made good the deficiencies in her home by construct ing nearly all the articles needed iu the household, and without objects from which to copy. She planted hemp and flax, took out tine fiber, spun the thread and then made her own loom preparatory to weav- ing. This cloth produced by her varied from the heaviest grades suitable for win ter clothing to fine pieces suitable for em- broidery.
