A Treasury Official Endeav-
ors to Explains Its
Cause.
The Chief ststisttcisn says the Deprcs
sion II General and Is Due to
Increased Production.

WAsHIsGToN. Feb. 15.--In answer to
a resolution Of congress. Worthington c.
Ford. chief Of the bureau Of statistics
OF the treasury department. sent in to-
day an elaborate report upon Wool and
manufactures Of wool
1t says the increase in the production
IN foreign countries. especially in South
America. Australia and Africa. has been
far greater than in the United States.
While the American clip has trebled
since 1850, the Australian clip has in.
creased ten fold; that Of South America
nine fold. and that Of South Africa five
fold. The report shows that the year
1892 gave the wo-f producing interests
even in the most favored countries as
Australia. set back. Ii says. That
the sheep raising industry Of the world
is passing through period Of depres-
sion is not tn be denied. Low prices
Of wool have reacted upon production
by decreasing the profits derived from
woods and diminishing the temptation
to extend production. Were this de-
preston local, local remedies would ap-
ply. but il ,s general. and effects those
countries where the advantage for sheep.
raising excel. as well as those where
woolgrowing is a secondary matter and
even by product rather than an in
dustry-
In conclusion Ford sets forth numer-
Gus propositions resultant from his OBJ
servations. No nation. he says. can
equally supply itself with wool. No
other nation of commercial or industrial
Importance imposes as high duties ON
woods and woolens as the United States.
No legislation short OF prohibition can
maintain prices in the face Of the m
crease Of the worlds supply Of wool
The free entry Of foreign woods has not
destroyed the sheep industry IN other
countries. Wool raising is controlled b,
the same economic conditions as other
interests. and the present depression in
the wool industry is general. not local.

manager OF the Independence Mining
company. was dead. Mr.. Leveaux Was
seen at his house by messenger boy at
IL o'clock this forenoon. He had com
pleted arrangements to go to the mines
this afternoon. but having failed to
make his appearance the alarm was
given. A. NJ. Harris and others went 10
his cabin and found it locked. Not re-
ceiving any reply from their rsps they
forced an entrance. when they found
him lying on his bed. dead. shot through
the heart. his revolver lyingylt his feet.
Public opinion is divided as to the
cause of his death. Some think il is
the work Of his own hands, while his
immediate friends believe it 10 foul play.
He was we'll and favorably known in
Cleveland. New York and Helena. and
had many close friends in Livingston. In
Big Timber, where he was best known,

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-Returns re-
ceived at the treasury department indi-
cate that the gold output for 1893 in the
United States will reach the almost up
precedented amount OF s37 100000. an
increase over 1892 of s4.OOO.0OO. In Col
orado the output has increased from
100000 in 1892. to s5OOO,0O0 in 1893,
while the gain in other gold-producing
sections are unusually Large. The Aus.
tralian production will carry the produc-
ton Of the world. it is thought. to about
ei50.O0O.OO0. With one or two exceptions
this is the largest output ever known.

why Windmills Burned Down.

OF the production of fire by the fric-
ton of wood against wood, windmills
of the old construction gave, on large
scale, some disastrous examples. When
the force of the wind increased, the
miller was obliged to bring each of the
sails in succession to the ground in or
der to unclothe it, but when sudden
squalls came on this was impracticable,
and the mill, in extreme cases, ran
away-that is, could not be stopped.
Everything was now done to increase
the grip of the wooden brake round the
great wheel on the,driving shaft, and
water was poured copiously over them,
but in spite of all this flames would
sometimes burst out from the intense
friction and the mill be probably
burned down as the result. The beau
tiful machinery of the modern wind
mill, by which the miller controls the
action of the sails from the interior of
the building, has reduced this danger to
a minimum.-NoteS and Queries.

Lincoln After Election.

Chauyinisnl.

Chauvinism is term that has come
to mean an extravagant and absurd
patriotism and pride in ones own coun-
try, with a corresponding enmity to-
ward and contempt for foreign nations
1t is the French equivalent for the jim
goism Of the London music halls after
Lord Beaconsfield' return from the
congress of Berlin in 1878. The origin
of the word is due to Chauvin, the
name of figure in the comedy La
Cocarde Theodore" Q83D by the
brothers Theodore and Hippolyte Cogn-
ard, the action in which includes the
conquest of Algeria. Chauvln is
young recruit who speaks much, dis
plays great courage and sings several
couplets with the refrain, "J'suis Fran
Gals, j'suis Chauvin, j'tape sur lie Bed
ouin." The authors Of the comedy,
however, borrowed the name from that
of Nicholas Chauvin, an old soldier of
Napoleon, well known in his time in
Paris for his devoted enthusiasm for the
emperor. Calvin is Latinized form
of tie same family name.-Brookly1

The Thinnest Sheet of Iron.

A triumph of mechanical ingenuity,
unsurpassed in its line, is recorded at
the celebrated tin works, Swansea,
Wales. The iron from which the sheet
was rolled was worked in finery with
charcoal and the usual blast afterward
taken to the hammer to be formed into
a regular flat bottom, thence conveyed
to the balling furnace, and when suffi-
GENTLY heated taken up to the rolls,
heightened and cut by shears into prop
er lengths, piled up and transferred
to the balling furnace again. When
heated, it was passed through the rolls,
back again into the balling furnace,
and when duly brought to the proper
pitch taken to the rolls and made into
a thorough good bar, subsequently,
at the tin mills, it was rolled till it was
supposed to be thinner than 90 grains,
afterward passed through the cold rolls
to insure the necessary polish, the re-
suit being the thinnest sheet of iron
ever rolled-that is, the sheet was 10
by 5 p inches, or 50 inches in surface,
of only 20 grains weight, which, being
brought to the standard of 8 by 5 u
inches. or A surface inches, is but 10
grains, or 30 per cent less than pre-
vious attempts, at least a, 800 being re-
quired to make one inch in thickness.

A New England Woman.

He sought her flushed with victory like wine
And told her of his loves successful quest;
She listened with a smile serene, divine
The woman who for years had loved him BEST
Another woman he had loved and won
And told his triumph like an eager boy;
He saw her SMILE and Numbered blindly on
Nor dreamed his words could bring her aught out
joy.
At last she said, " My friend I'm glad for you,
May life be full of happy days like thesel
I will confess have secret too;
go to wed my art across the seas"
And so she went, and wrought with patient touch,
Until men said. " She only loves her art"
But when grown old, she died, they wondered much
To find his picture lying on her heart

Inexpensive Pleasures.

The comparatively cheap pleasures
seem to be the best in life generally.
There is so little that the very rich can
buy for themselves that need stir envy
in people who are just comfortably off.
Warmth is such delightful thing in
winter, but you and | can get as much
as we want of it, and a millionaire can
have no more. And then there are so
many cheap ordinary things to eat that
are Just as good as or better than the
expensive things. An epicure who lives
somewhere in the western part Of this
state was saying the other day that, hav-
ing a particular dinner in view, he
sent to judicious man in New York
for the best fish that the market offered.
They sent him fresh cod, and he ad
mitted that no fish could be better, and
moralized-those are his remarks above
on the comparative cheapness of the
feshly qualifications that were really
best, such as potatoes and chickens and
fresh air and tea and water, warm and
cold and soap and sleep.
When one considers how good big
cent sandwich tastes when he is really
hungry, and what a poor thing s.
dinner is when he is not and how little
difference there is between good wine
and good water when it has once passed
ones gullet, and how much of that
difference is in favor of the water, il
really lends dangerous charm to econ
omy and simple living, and makes one
wonder that thrift is not more catch
ing, and that the delights of avaricC
should be so generally monopolized by

OUR BOYS AND GIRLS.
The Children.

There is such crowd of you, boys and girls,
You are thronging in every place;
If we did not conquer you now and then,
You would fill up all the space.
You take the world as IL It were your own,
You merrily laugh and sing
As II there were not fading time,
And life could be always spring.
We send you out of the way sometimes,
In the midst of your mirth and noise,
For old heads ache, and old hearts fail,
And cannot share your Joys.
But the world belongs to you after ALL
And others aside must stand.
That you may be able to do and dare,
And be masters in the land.
You so busy at school and play
That you have no thought to spare
For the problems that puzzle the grown.up folks
And make them grey with care.
But you are the people, my happy ones;
And all that we do to-day
VIII be more to you than it is to us,
For you will the longest stay.
We are quick to give to you praise and blame;
What will you give us, when
You weigh, as judges. our words and deeds
In the time when you are the mem
What will you think of the laws we make
When you read the records through?
And the manners and customs Of church and
home,
And the cities we build for you?
Boys, be generous; girls. be fart
We are trying to do our best.
We are beginning some good, brave work
'Tis for you to do the rest
Through misty moorland fog.filled street
We are seeking for greater light
But for you there is breaking above the world
A day that is passing bright.
Toers are we. who are well content
To work for the nations need.
We have been delving the gold to find,
We have been sowing seed.
Good times to live in we leave to you,
And rights that we're hard to win;
Be worthy of the better times,
And gather our harvests in.
