Shining your shoes by machinery is
one of the newest schemes of an in
genious inventor. 1t is boot-blacking
machine, consisting of an applying
brush, a polishing brush, a fluid recep-
tacle and backing receptacle, so
placed upon a stand that by the move
ment of a lever, the small circular
brush takes up the backing and mois-
tens and distributes it over the shoe !;
then the circular brush comes along
and polishes the shoe before you can
say "Jack Robinson
This clever continuance fills the usual
long felt want" for the gentleman
who cleans his own shoes in the seclu-
sion of his chamber, but it is doubtful
whether it will be fully appreciated by
the itinerant bootblack, who wants his
five cents shine.
Notwithstanding all objections, how
ever, the new bootblacking machine is
likely to be in great demand within a
very short time.

Not an Even Thing.
From Harper's Magazine. ]

In one of my parishes writes a
friend of the'Drawer), some years since,
| had a vestryman, an excellent man
and a warm friend. He has now de-
parted this life, and so this story may
be told as an illustration Of his official
devotion to the interests of his constit-
uency. In my neighborhood lived a
clerical brother, a splendid preacher,
and very popular with all who knew
him, with whom L often exchanged
pulpits. His salary was $500 and a
rectory, while mine was $4,000 with
similar provision for my shelter.
One very hot summer, not being in
good health, and knowing that my
people admired him very much, ex-
changed quite frequently with him, SO
as to save preparing sermons.
One day went into the large store
of my vestryman to have a chat with
him, which he opened as follows ::
You have lately exchanged a good
deal with Mr.. ~

preacher, and every one in the parish
admires him.

"But what are we paying you?n

"Well," he put in, "have you cen

these exchanges ?"
| L told him | had not made that cal
culation.

loss per Sunday" was the statement
of this careful guardian of the finan-
cial interests of his parish.

Raising Chickens.
From the London Weekly Telegral

TON lHc LOHuOu w tckly IeleSTdDn.l
A professor at one of our universities
is the subject of a queer anecdote.
Last winter he was married and went
housekeeping outside the town. This
spring he thought he would add few
hens to his stock he already had dog.
He set couple of hens, and in good
time had two large brOods of chickens.
He was very proud of them, but in a
week or so the hens began to die. He
called in a neighbor to look at the
chickens and offer advice. They were
certainly pretty scaly lot of chickens
that the neighbor viewed. They were
skinny-looking and apparently without
ambition.
"What do yer feed them ?" asked the
neighbor, after brief survey.
Feed them ?'' responded the profess
or, as though he didn't hear Alright.
"Why, / don't feed them anything. /
thought the old hens had enough milk
for them"

One OF the most valuable publica-
tions ever issued from the state depart
ment has appeared. 1t consists OF re-
ports from American consuls through
out the world regarding United States
lumber in foreign markets. While In
tended primarily for the advantage OF
American lumber producers and ship
pers, the information is of unusual gen.
eral interest, according to the Hartford
Times. The remarkable fact is shown
that the United States sends lumber to
every country on the globe, and that,
while in many lands the market is vir~
tually controlled by the shippers Of
this country, there are still great pos
sibilities of increased sales.
It is astonishing to learn that nearly
all the building lumber imported by
Africa comes from the United States;
that Japan buys it, and that no other
lumber enters South American ports
In Samoa four cents foot is paid tor
rough Oregon pine and California red
wood Hawaii, by letting American
humber in free Of duty and charging
ten per cent. duty on Canadian lumber
virtually prohibits the importation of
the latter. Consul Mills, of Honolulu,
reports that all the timber used there
comes from the United States. Even
the island of New Caledonia prefers
pine from Washington, and pays about
twenty dollars for ffty-three cubic
feet. All the lumber used in Madeira
comes from Maine, North Carolina and
Nova Scotia; while Mexico and the
West Indies rely wholly upon the
United States. Australia buys mil
lion dollars worth every year, and
would take as much more if it could be
bought readily.
The great difficulty appears to be in
procuring the transport of the Ameri-
can wood. Little is carried by Amer
lean ships. The principal rivals of this
country in the worlds lumber trade
are Canada and Norway, except in
are competitors, and in Austria, which
is supplied by countries on the Medi-
terranean. Austria, however, gets her
slaves from the United States, as do
most of the other nations of Europe.
More lumber from the United States
than from Canada is used in Great
Britain. Nearly all the spools arc made
Of white birch of Maine. Even Oregon
timber reaches England. One patriotic
consul protests against selling Ameri-
can lumber in foreign countries, be-
cause it may ruin the forests of the
United States It appears from most
consular reports that comparatively
few of the countries have wooden
houses on account of the great expense
of lumber, and that transportation fa-
cilities alone prevent the substitution
of wood for stone and similar materi-
ais. This is generally the case in trop-
ical countries, where the woods are too
hard to be proitably used for ordinary
construction. From a business point
of view it is shown that the American
export lumber trade is still in its infan-
cy, though American timber is probably
more widely known than any other
product of this country.
