Many OF the Eirc.t Kinds la Existence
Plentiful, bus Almost Unknown.
Many OF the finest woods in existence
are yet unknown or only slightly
known TO the manufacturers of wood
In the civilized world. The woods of
Central and South America are perhaps
the most remarkable as well as the best
known. In the yet untouched forests of
this continent are many woods far finer
than any of those now in use. These
woods range from pure white TO jet
black in color, ana many Of them are
most beautifully marked and veined.
Some of them are so hard that they
turn the edges of axes, chisels and othoI
tools, while the band saw cuts them
only slowly.
In the Columbian exposition there
were many displays of little known
woods, and the finest of them were those
from Argentine Republic, Brazil and
other South American countries. Some
of these southern woods yielded to the
teeth of the band saw not the ordinary
sawdust, but fine powder, fine as the
finest -four, so hard were the woods.
Some Of them burned but slowly. 9th
ers possess qualities that keep them free
from insects. Some of them seem to be
practically indestructible by air and
water.
All along the eastern slopes Of the
Andes, up to the snow line ON those
great elevations. throughout all the
great river valleys and in some Of the
wide areas of level country in South
America are great forests Of fine woods
tAas are specially fit for the finest cabi-
~ and furniture work, and also for
ahipbuilding. carpeptry and other in
Aaserial arts in which wood is the raw
naterial These great forests are now
n unknown quantity in the commercial
world, but they will come rapidly into
The knowledge of men and into indus
6ial use when once the railroad has
Soached them.
Before many years it is safe to pre-
DICT, the South American and Central
American repuhlics will be threaded by
railroads, and then those wonderful
woods will be drawn upon to supply the
demand for new and fine woods in all

KINDNESS WON HIM.

The Horse Had More Sense Than His
Master.
The crowd had gathered about horse
and buggy in the middle of the street.
The horse had baked.

of the bvstanders. SIT gives him some

1t had no effect.

A bandage was tied over his eyes and
an effort made TO start him.
Same result.
"Bacll him."
"He won't back" said the exasperated
owner. II tried that"
"Try him with an ear of corn"
The ear of corn failed to move the OBJ
stinate horse.
.spu see if I can persuade him some
other way" SAID the eXasperated owner
of the animal.
He took a whip and belabored the beast
with it till somebody threatened to have
him arrested.
Then he kicked him a while.
All IN vain.
Finally benevolent-looking old gen
tleman forced his way through the crowd
and said:
Il have seen a great many balky horses
started by building fire under them.
Can you get some straw or shavings?"
A boy was sent to neighboring fur
niture store for some excelsior. 1t was
placed on the ground under the horse and
q lighted match touched to it.
AS the first feeble flame rose from it and
the smoke began to curl about his legs
the horse unbent little. He turned his
head. took a calm survey of the situation
and when the combustible stuff burst
into a big blaze he moved forward about
six feet, in full possession of his faculties
and without any unnecessary haste, ana
stopped again.
And the elegant buggy was damaged
S25 worth by the flames before it occurred
to anybody TO scatter the blazing stuff.
And then an old coloTed man in a faded
suit of secondhand clothes and hat
with half the brim gone, went out and
spoke kindly to the high-spirited ami
NAL, rubbed his nose, patted him on the
neck, climbed into the damaged buggy
and said: ''Git along, sonny"
And the horse moved off at brisk
trot. with his head high in the air.-Chl-

Streets Rnrned I'm.

sit is not often man is witness to
burning streets in town, but | had that
pleasure a few days ago." said @. w.
Douglass of FL Paso.1 The citizens of the
village of Las Cruces, y. NJ, are in the
habit of grading their streets with the
accumulations of Earn-yards. They had
done this till the sand, dust and manure
had become thoroughly mixed, the ma
nure predOminating. 1t seldom rains in
that part of the country and the manure
was dry as powder. From some cause it
caught fire in the western part of the
village, just as one OF New Mexico's
typical sandstorms was rising. The wind
soon became strong gale and the fire
spread rapidly. In less than twenty
minutes the whirling wind had carried
the fire into all parts of the main streets,
which had been graded with stable stuff.
Dense clouds of smoke rolled over the
buildings and out on the plains. The
whole heavens were darkened, and it
was grand sight to see the columns of
smoke, fire, sand and dust surging,
whirling and darting away toward the
mountains. Had the town not been
built of mud it would certainly have
been destroyed. The storm swept the
streets of all barnyard grading material,
and the Las Cruces villagers will have to
regrade as material accumulates." st.

a Historic Ring.

William B. Fry of Drifton, Pa, son of
Alderman George Fry OF this city, has
become the owner of a relic which, to
him, is almost priceless. 1t is at once a
symbol, sign and token-a symbol of
that herald of freedom and liberty which
received the ovation of continent only
few months ago; sign of the vener-
alton which was felt for the Liberty Bell
years ago and which time has increased
and strengthened; and token that will
remain a precious heirloom in the family
of Mr.. Fry. The relic is in the shape of
ring. This ring was made from tho
metal that was cut away along the zigzag
crack of the Liberty Bell, with the idea
that it would restore the tone OF the bell.
Joseph Buckley, a cousin of Mrs. Aurelia
S. Fry. the mother OF William b. Fry.
was in charge of the bell at that time. He
took the clippings and had this ring con-
structed out of them. In the year 1850,
while Mrs. Fry was on visit to the FAM
lily of Mr.. Buckley, in Philadelphia, the
latter presented her with the ring, and,
naturally, she guarded it with Jealous
care until on Christmas of last year, when
she presented ii to her son, William B.
Fry, who, upon recent visit to Allen
town, exhibited it to the writer, who was
permitted for few minutes to wear the
precious circle.-Allentown pa Chron-

LOVES DREAM Is DER.

Loves dream is DER. while hopes lie dead,
That once lived in the SOUL
The past is but a memory now,
While sorrows O'er me roll;
They fill my life with anguish deep,
Yet why should | repIne,
For in this world so bright and fair,
Are hearts as sad as mine.
Loves dream is DER; its sad farewell
Still fingers in my heart;
While love lies dead twill neer again
Be of our lives part;
The dreary waste of years will pass,
With slow and silent tread
What will they bring? naught save despair,
Ger faith and trust now dead.
Loves dream is DER; hope bows its head,
And weeps DER loves defeat;
Tho swift and sharp the blow you dealt,
l bravely tried to meet
The cruel thrust that pierced my soul
That maddened heart and brain
False to the core! 1 know thee we'll,
And would not, il l could, thy love retain.

REMEDY FOR STRIKES.

It is elsewhere stated that Governor Rich of Michigan has proposed to in- corporate the labor unions of the country, with an idea that the artificial individuals thus created wosld be competent to cope with the corporate bodies of capitalists whom the workers serve. The central idea seems to be that the corporate trades unions would have a legal standing and could compel recalcitiant corpor- ations or individual employers to deal justly with their employees by invok- tue equities of the law in thercourts. 0The recent reports of the British royal labor commission is where the Michigan executive found the idea he SO sapiently advances as original. In those reports the commission dis cussed the question of arbitration, and opposed that method of settling strikes, on the ground that to enforce their findings boards of arbitration would have to be given the same power courts now enjoy to enforce their decisions. The committee did not feel warranted in recommending establishment of new courts withnew powers and the requisite machinery for their operation.
 
 Dismissing as impractical the prin- ciple of arbitration, the commission advanced the proposition that the labor unions and masters associations should be incorporated, so each could sue and be sued, thus making it pos sible that judgments could be en- forced under existing court laws.
 Discussing this proposition a Chi cago journal asserts that unless the court of first instance has complete and final jurisdiction, without appeal, the plan proposed by the commission would be overturned by the use of the courts to delay final decis- ion and adjudication of pending strike difficulties.
 In all such cases what is needed is a remedy which shall be prompt. In all appellate courts long delays are the provoking rule, and seldom does the court of final resort reach and decide a case inside of three years. To that court would all such cases surely go. Idle laborers with hungry families, even with the most perfect justice on their side, could not wait that long for a judicial declaration Of their rights. Consequently if anything is to come of the corporation idea, different method of procedure in the courts must be devised for the trial of such cases.
