Movable Cottage.

A laborer's cottage of wood, we'll
iointed, tight, and big enough for a
family of four, may be built in the
suburban region for less than 5000.
1t can be so framed as to admit Of be-
ing moved without injury and at small
expence when the land upon which it
stands becomes too valuable for such
occupancy As matters are now Ital-
ians are about the only sort Of folks
to occupy such houses hereabouts,
and it is only the best workmen among
them with relatively high standard
of comfort that need anything so fine.
1t is significant Of the change coming
over Italalian residents, however, that
any among the laborers demand aught
above the single room that has hither-
to been their notion of a home. New

A proposed law that any new build
ing erected in London shall have its
front not less than twenty feet from
the middle of the street has brought
out the fact that there are in the heart
of the city thirty-two miles of streets
less than forty feet broad. If the
principle were generally applied, on

In studying the statistics of manu-
features just issued by the census bu-
reau what strikes one most forcibly,
observes w. Z. Curtis in the Chicago
Record, is the consolidation of inter-
ests. In nearly all lines of manufac-
ture the capital engaged, the number
of men employed, the amount of raw
material used and the value of the
product have been largely increased
during the last ten years, but there
has been no corresponding increase in
the number of establishments, and in
q great many cases the number is
much smaller than it was ten wears
ago. There were, for example, 1,943
factories making agricultural imple-
ments in 1880, while in 1890 there
were only 800. The carpet mills de-
creased from 1915 to 173, the chemical
works from 592 to 563, the cooper
shops from 3,S98 to ., 652, the cordage
and rope works from 165 to 40, the
cotton factories from / ,005 to 9O5, the
flour mills from a, 1913 to 1910, the
from and steel mills from 1,O05 to G45,
the tanneries from 5,424 to 1896, the
distilleries from 844 to 44O, the brew
cries from 2, 191 to 1,24S, the lumber
mills from 25, 7OS to 21,O11, the
paper mills from 692 to SGT, the
ship yards from 2,118 to 1,O1O, the
soap and candle factories from 629
to 57S, the tobacco factories from AT
to 39j, the wooden mills from 2,066 to
1,454. At the same time the product
of all these industries has very largely
increased-in many cases two, three
four and five hundred per cent. Non
is the value of the product in 1890, as
compared with the value in 1880, {
fair criterion of measurement, for the
reason that everything is cheaper nov
than it was ten years ago. There i
scarcely an article produced in tn,
United States that cannot be pur
chased at n lower price now than then
1t is unfortunate that the census of
flcials did not make their estimate by
quantities instead of by values. 1t j
also noticeable that while the produc
tive capacities Of the United State
have increased moro than 100 pc
cent. during the last ten years, tn
population has increased only abou

production is due TO the invention o
labor-saying machinery.

A Ray Of Sunshine.

In the shaded light Of waiting,
have stood and watched the days,
As they moved in numbered measures,
BY the slow receding ways.
That the laggard hours and moments,
Have of passing, when we long
To re-hear voice whose music
Is a recollocted song.
Ihaye felt the hurt Of distance
/ have known the silent pain
Which companions constant hoping
That the parted meet again
An unyelding, helpless hoping,
In the likeness of distress,
Which, as time goes on, developes
Into utter hopelessness
I have wandered in the shadows,
/ have CROPPED my way along
By the guidance of the music
OF that recolected song;
I have held my heart and waited,
For kindly hopeful ray
OF the sunshine through the shadows
And her letter came today!

We wonder how the world got along
before the discovery of America, for
that meant the discovery of that essen
tial tuber, the potato. Originally this
was a small and. unimportant root,
which the Indians occasionally ate,
but since it has been domesticated,
like all cultivated plants, it has dem
onstrated its tendency to produce va
rieties. OF these there are forty in
the United States, eighteen in Ger
mano, twenty-six in Great Britain,
thirty-two in France, and Australia is
said to have fifteen.

According to La Prensa, Buenos
Ayres newspaper, new land has been
discovered in the Antarctic Ocean.
Three schooners having auxiliary
steam machinery and floating the Nor
wegian flag, the Jason, Castor and
Hernia, commanded respectively by
Captains Larsen, Petersen and Hur-
sen, called at the port of Ushuala.
They met there the Villarino, an Ar
gentine war vessel, and the Norwegian
captains told to the commander of the
Villarino that they had discovered q
new zone of land at Graham, on the
west side of the coast already known.
The three Norwegian schooners, which
nayigated together, had on board 1000
tons of coal, and intended to continue
their discoveries. One of these YES
sells had also on board 6, 600 wolves,
from which large quantity of oil was
to be extracted.

The many teapots proudly exhibited
in New England as having been brought
over in the MaYfower, have been
proved to be frauds, AYERS the Argon-
aut. Tea was scarcely known in Eng
land up to 1860, when Samuel Pepys
tasted it for the first time. 1t certainly
had not been introduced into Europe
in 1920. The forks, too, that came
over in that most elastic of vessels,
had also better be put away with the
teapots, for the very earliest to be
found in England are not older than
the middle of the reign of Charles the
Second. A few exist of the reign of
George the First, and they are three
pronged. 1t was not until the time of
George the Third that the four
pronged fork was used.

New Hampshire is trying a forestry
experiment, and the first annual re-
port of the Forestry Commission of
that state has just been published.
Perhaps the most inetresting-at all
events the most original-part Of the
report deals with the practical forestry
work that is being carried out by pri-
vate cooperative companies. These,
explains the San Francisco Examiner,
are associations that buy forest lands
with the intent to preserve and extend
the forests on the recognized princi-
ples of modern forestry. Several tracts
have already been purchased by these
associations and are being conducted
rs money-making enterprises. They
are harvesting and selling the matured
trees. cutting to improve growth or to
rive the more desirable trees the adj
vantage, and planting where reforest-
ing is necessary. Progress is like
wise reported in another direction.
The commission has found friends
among some Of the lumbermen, who
Ind the sense to see that the forestry
movement is not against but for them
that it is merely preventing them from
killing the goose that lays the golden
eggs. The true principles of forestry
must be followed if a great part of the
United States is not to become bar
ron waste, and no part of the country
e so vitality interested in seeing those
principles recognized and observed as
tho western region that depends on IL
ri~ation for its products.

Over the city of Charleston, one
June evening, the scattered clouds
appeared like angels of dazzling gold
as they foated about the ruby palace
of the sun; the glory of that monarch
was shed over all, the most common

The drudges of toll on their home

shelter at his windows; that, having
business (2} which called him to
Charleston, he would, If provided with
the number of her residence, return
the pets in person.
For three days Ray impotiently
awaited a reply. On the evening of
the third, however, the postman hand
ed him square envelope, addressed
IN femenine hand, which caused him
to redden violently. Ho had never
before received a missive froma young
lady. On the way homeward he sat
down under the great oak tree over
shadowing the crossroads, and there,
while a robin overhead whistled his
tern.
Ray expectantly broke the seal and
opened to these lines:
Kind Sir: Your note Of the 18th instant
was genuine surprise to me, but assure
you that 1 am pleased to learn of my pets
falling into your hands, as feel confident of
your good care over them. They can be re-
turned by express, should you prefer, at my
| expense; but as you are coming to Charles
ton on business, should like to thank you in
person, and to reward you for your trouble
in the matter. My address is No. 81 Blank
street. Again thanking you, remain, yours
very respectfully, FANNY ArHERroN.
The faint perfume of the dainty
missive stole through poor Ray heart,
SO that he resumed the homeward
walk in Undergraduates of his sur
roundings. '"The name" he unused,
sis smooth enough for one of Jenny
son'sidyls; she writes too good hand
to be ill-bred or ignorant. And if

Half mile onward, through deep
ening shadows, he looked up to see his
chamber window, where he had admit
ted the doves, a glorifed square set
opposite the rising moon. This he
took as a happy omen.

Mr.. Kingsley the nextmorning. "Our

by her sisters reproving glance, "and

The two aerial messengers were now
crossing the Susquehanna River, hun
dreds of feet above it-so high, in
deed, that under them flock of blue

rivers silver curves the sinking sun
seemed to be raining jewels.
"Ugh!" said Felicie, suddenly shiv-
ering as a Whit of wind from the north
ruilled her plumage, "Shall we not
descend q little?"
The north wind is a cold and heart
less fellow, even to the harmless little
doves; he grew more rude to them as
the March sunset lost its golden frag-

cold, Angela asked Felicie, "Where
shall we seek shelter?" and Felicie put
the same question to her little sister.

Three days afterward, Ray Kings
ley, carefully attired, walked along
Blank street, in the city of Charleston.
A box-like cage, neatly wrapped in
paper, dangled from his finger. When
his glance caught the right number
his courage well-nigh failed him after
a nervous tumble he mastered the
secret of the gate latch, and walked
up the path toward an unpretentious,
but neat white cottage.
A servant ushered him into the
parlor and took his card. While Ray
entertained himself by looking about
the room for evidences of young
girls home life, he heard the rustic of
dress in the hall, and his heart be-
came quite still A pleasant lady of
perhaps forty, graciously advanced and
extended her hand. Ray blushed vio-

tention to the package yet dangling
from his finger "Ihis is an odd way
in which we make your acquaintance,
Mr.. Kingley."
The removal of the paper from the
cage was a welcome relief to the young
man, and the conversation, deity
managed by Mrs. Barns, had become
unreseryed, when girhsh figure,
simply clad in pink, entered the
room. During the introduction and

grain field, when peculiar noise Mt
the window startled him. Turn
ing about he pushed up the sash,
when something white flashed in
his face, and a moment later he
beheld two doves, apparently be-
numbed with cold, futtering about
the room in aimless bewilderment.
One upset vase on the mantcl before
burying its head and wings in a cor
ner of the lounge. The other quietly
hid under the rocking chair. They
made no resistance as Ray picked them
up and caressed their plumage.
''Father, mother! see here" cried
he, descending the stairs and entering
the sitting-room; "what do you think

Each bird wore n blue ribbon about
