IRON TRADE REVIEW.

CLEVELAND, O., Feb. t4.-The Iron Trade Review says today: Two weeks of February have brought somewhat more encouragement to the iron trade, yet all statements are merely comparative. There are intimations of what some of the more important railroad lines will do in the rail and car markets, but nothing that has materialzed up to this time in these directions has made any impression.
 Bridges, elevator work, office structures and ship building have furnished the bulk of the tonnage that has gone into the mills since the year opened. The past month has seen further accumulation of pig iron stocks in the hands of producers. But February has brought more buying in cer- tain ceuters, and the movement has begot- ten the feeling that-th contracts covering several months are safer for the buyer than at any time for the past twelve months.
 Much Is being expected Of the coming spring, and once the mills actually get in hand any considerable percentage of the tonnage that has been coming to the ln- quiry stage and from the waiting, the situ- ation will take on different aspect In all raw material lines.
 ? The central west ship building has fur nished an almost weekly quota of orders since the first of the year. The latest project that promises tonnage in this line is that for eighteen steel canal boats, to run from Cleveland to New York through the Erie canal.
 At Pittsburg the situation as to Bessemer pig and billets is practically unchanged, with S10.10 and S15.10 respectively as the market.

------------------------------- GOOD FOR THE SOUTH.

HER COTTON INDUSTRIES MAKE THEM
 q SELVES FELT IN THE EAST.
 FALL RIVER, Mass, Feb. 14. The spin ners' association has empowered Secretary Howard of their union to appear before the legislature in. Boston against the passage of the resolution now pending relative to the southern competition at the present time. The Fall River bleachery is receiving goods for bleaching manufactured in the south and billed from Augusta, Ga.
 The Algonquin Printing company is pre- pairing southern goods for the market on orders every day and large shipments of goods in the gray have been made from southern points to the American Printing company. Goods known as 68x72's, COX 56's and other goods made in this city are now made south and shipped 10 this city for bleaching and printing, while mills which would like to make those goods in this city are compelled to hustle for orders.
 A broker here, whose information is always reliable, states that a former GUS toner of his, who purchased 5000 pieces of goods weekly ill this city within two years, has since been purchasing all of the goods from southern mills. Those goods are pre- pared for the market in his state and then reshipped to the south and west and sold at an advantage greater than New England goods appear to have.

 What Was Then A Wonder

A Pamphlet Printed In 1880 Describes
 What Was Then a Wonder.
 A curious relic has been found recently in the shape of @ pamphlet describing the Fremont House, probably the only copy in existence, which was published in 1850 by Gray & Bowen of Boston. sa. :.
 It contains 94 pages and is finely illus trated, "A pages being devoted to cuts and plates Excavation was begun in June 1928, by company incorporated by the legislature in 1S24-5, and on the July 4th following the cornerstone was laid by the Massachusetts Charitable association The building was completed in August 1929, and opened in October.
 The dining room was heated from two open 6replaces and was regarded as very fine apartment in those days. The read ing room was free to guests, but o small annual subscription was required from others.
 Rainwater was used in the kitchen from a reservoir in the yard, and a well was also drawn upon in the belief that it was inexhaustibe. A cistern was placed in Fremont place. another in the cellar and two in the attic. Lead pipes were used and at that time were considered wonderful, as was also the use of mortar in tho flooring.
 It was considered to be extremely well guarded against fro, and the staircases were thought so wide that inmates could easily escape by them, no matter how rapid the cenGagration might be.
 The doric portico and stained glass sky light were the two features in which the greatest pride was taken, and the descrip- tion closes by saying that up to the time of writing the patronage received by the house warranted the belief that it would be beneficial as we'll as ornamental to the city.
 Tho book is valued at $100. It was pub lished ito satisfy a curiosity which nu- meIous inquiries for description of the Fremont House were supposed to indi- cate. "-Boston Globe.

The Te1errapher,s Ear.

The sense of hearing is developed in the modern Telegraph operator to an abnormal degree owing to his use of the typewriter in his work. In former years, when he copied his messages with pen or pencil, his ears were accustomed to only one kind of sound-that of the telegraph instrument while in these days of the typewriter he must distinguish between the sharp click of the ticker and the almost similar rattle of, tho copying machine According to an old operator, tho sense of hearing soon becomes so developed that the distinction isseasily made. With little experience in the use of the typewriter along with the telegraph instrument the operator ceases to notice any similarity of the sounds St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

A Story of the Rail,

A rural humorist in Screven county tells this exciting story:
 We were coming at fearful rate of speed down the hill this side of Waters station when suddenly, as we rounded the curve, and just where the hands had been working that day, the engineer and fireman discovered tie lying crosswise upon the track.
 1t was only about 50 feet away, and as we were making 60 miles an hour there was of course no possible chance to avoid running over it. was looking out of the window at the time and saw the danger just as the engineer and fireman saw it. In another second we were on to it, and we all three shut our eyes and listened for the awful crash.
 But much to our surprise tho engine glided smoothly over, tho coach followed in similar manner, and we rolled safely into the depot.
 Why, how in the world did it hap penY" shouted all his listeners in breath.
 ''Oh, simple enough. You see, the tie that was lying across the track was only a neoktie that ono of the young girls had dropped that l''-EAtanta Con- stitution.

Much In Results.
 Among condiments alcohol must be reckoned. It is Q plurallst condiment, however, and-it goes without saying-is dangerous condiment in more senses than one. A good deal that has been said about alcohol might be urged against oth- CT condiments. Mustard, for example, if largely mixed with water and freely taken, produces vomiting and occasionally in f1ammation of the intestinal mucous mem brane. Salt, even under circumstances when not counterbalanced by vegetable juices, induces a disease of hideous type. In respect of alcoholics, the result of their employment depends on the quantity and quality taken. Alcohol given quickly in large doses is a deadly poison. Diluted alcohol taken slowly and repeatedly dur ing tho day initiates the mucous mem- brane of the stomach and seoondarily the neighboring organs and does violence to the delicate tissues. The nearer the fluid is to absolute alcohol the moro injurious it is likely to prove.
 But the combinations of alcohol with other substances besides water inodifies its effect in some instances for the better, in othersfor the worse In looking through pair of spectacles, the glasses of which are tinted with ono metal, the world seems of fire tint; with another metal the world seems cold and ghastly, frozen and dead.

Tenacity of Life.

It is one of Che wonders of everyday life how long the lower forms of created crea- lures retain their vitality under certain conditions. Microbes of various sorts, that seem dependent on moisture for existence, have been dried half score of times, put away and kept dry for long period, and havo under favorable conditions, revived, apparently none the worse for their. hiber nation. They have been heated to 150 degrees F., then kept in a vacuum for a month. Notwithstanding all this, they revived upon being placed in a warm, moist atmosphere. Even snails may be deprived of oxygen, water, food and heat, but will merely curl up and go to sleep, awakening when conditions are favorable New York Ledger.

CHILDRENS' PLAY GROUND
Here's a Chance to Chip Into the Fund
and Keep the Play Grounds Going.

Here's Chance to Chip Into the Fund
and Keep the Play Grounds Going.
Three Fairgrounds for children were
maintained in Providence during the
summer OF 1894, one each on Smiths
Hill, AtwslPs avenue, and Vinton street.
They were designed as places where chill
dren confined TO the city during the hot
months, and especially children
living In the closely populated districts,
could 60 for recreation and play. Each
ground was under the charge OF kinder
gartners, whose influence was to make
the plays orderly and peaceful, and
sources OF the kinderesrten, to interest
children and lead them in the right way.
The Fairgrounds were kept open for six
weeks, with an average attendance oil over
ninety cb ldrep each week, at total ex-
pense OF sllo each.
This year 1t is proposed to establish
nine Fairgrounds, three for boys from
10 to Is years Of age, and six
fos girls and little children. Young
men will act az leaders in the boys play
grounds, main tanning order and justice in
the sports, teaching new games as well 80
The best ways OF playing old ones, making
short excursions with the boys to places
of historic or scenic interest, and acting
in general as elder brot hers.
Kindergartens will be in charge OF the
Fairgrounds for girls and little children,
which will be conducted on much the
same plan as last year, except that
instructions will be given TO the girls
In sewing and perhaps other domestic
duties, and the experience OF last year
will m~xe II possible to otherwise enlarge
and improve the work.
The grounds will be located In different
parts OF the city, near TO or In the most
congested districts.
Contributions for the support OF the
Fairgrounds are solicited by the joint COM
mittee Of the Union for Practical Progress
and the Free Kindergarten Association
and may be sent to treasurer of the formei
society, Mr.. William p. Goodwin, 2(

forty. sevenl The premises had one con-
clusion oniy-dtrorce.
All the world knows the story. The
Empress had both man and nature
against her. AS to the Corsican, she
had lived with him for nearly fourteen
years. She knew too we'll the futility of
resisting him. 1t would seem that all
expedients We're useless. AT length the
Emperor's mind was made up. He broke
his purpose to Josephine as gently as
might be, at Malmaison. The divorce
was arranged on the 10Th and 10th of
December, 1909. The Bonapartes had
now full satisfaction. No child of jose
phine should ever wear the diadem Of
France. Napoleon did as much as he
might to alleviate her despair. He left
her Malmaison, her titfe of Empress, and
pension Of two million francs.
After the fallen, Whom? Would the
Emperor of tho French, son Of the mul-
berry-woman of Ajaccio choose another
AS no had chosen the firstly nature
and natures law Or would he calou-
late? Would he find in Vendee or Cotes
du Nord or Lorraine some peasant girl,
some Pucelle Of Arc, and make her-as
he had made himself-Imperial, and
from her wait to SEQ springing his pos
sible lions wholp, so coveted-and nec-
essary? Or would ho, hoping to pacify
the past, choose some princess out Of the
House Of his friends--such friends as
Gustavus or Alexander or Frederick

There was little delay. Maria Louisa
was appalled, at the prospect-at the
first. The woman in such cases is hard
TO quench. But Francis would have an
Emperor for son-in-law; and the
daughter Of Francis assented. With
swift preliminaries the royal cavaloade,

sion, the civil marriage was performed.
The Pope refused TO approve the divorce
of Josephine. Most of the cardinals, de-
clining TO bless the marriage, were
stripped of their scarlet regalia and
banished from Paris.
. In the Tuilories Maria Louisa sought
at first to play tho part Of Imperatrice
with gaioty and good will. Tradition
adds that Napoleon loved hor. Certain
ly he said SO; and his future conduct in
tho marital relation was more exem-
plary than before. There were no more
