general manager of the association,

Mr.. Swank Is the publisher of the Iron
and Steel Bulletin and n recognized
authority on the matter. His figures
may be accepted rs reliable.
Pitttsburg, says correspondent of
the New York journal, has now twenty.
seven blast furnaces, twenty-nine steel
works and thir;y-four rolling mills.
In 1892, when the iron industry was
booming, there were produced in the
twenty-six blast furnaces the number
existing at that time) 1,775,257 gross
tons of pig iron. In 1898, with one
moro furnace, the total production
was 1,6o7,207, or only 7S,050 tons
less.
This was the panic year during which
wages were cut lower and lower until
the workers rcbelled and long strikes
were the result. In 1894, which was
also hard times year, the production
of pig iron was l, 7S2, 079, or 6s22 tons
more than during the boom year OF
1892.
The report also shows that in 1892
there We're sixty.two rolling mills and
steel works which produced 1,605, 1874
tons of crude steel. In the following
year the decrease was only 15,201
tons, while in 1894, when the country
began to feel the beneficial effects oi
tariff reform, the production was l,

For Shyjup Horses

A really remarkable device for
making any shying horse perfectly
calm aud tractable is the new inven-
tion of Henry Small, OF this city, says
the Hartford Times. Properly speak
ing it is not "bit," for it does not go
into the horses mouth Mt all, but is
only q simple nose.piece that goes
over the horses upper lip, but does
not necessarily draw on or even scarce
ly touch it unless the driver has a
gentle pull on it; then it touches the
end of the animals nose or upper lip !;
and that mere touch, which should
not be increased much, does the whole
business.
Mr.. Smalls contrivance consists OF
. simple head strap, properly braced
and coming down between the horses
eyes and nostrils. to its end in the
shape of a sort of little metallic up
per lip. This latter little piece of
metal, only about two inches long and
not half an inch wide, is humorously
called "trolley bit" Its curving
side-ends, ike an ordinary bit, are so
devised thata very slight, gentle pull
on the reins brings the ''trolley bit"
against the tip of the horses nose.
In complete absorption in the study
of new experience the horse may be
driven right up by the side of noisy
locomotive, or of gong-banging troll
ley car, that presents to the horse,
under ordinary circumstances, the
sinister aspect of moving, perhaps
a living thing, going without any visi'

II Timely Topics
ADDRESSED TO THE YOUNG
MAN WHO WANTS
A TANDEM.

Young man, you will do
we'll to wait until you see the
! Tribune TandemS, which will
Be the finest manufactured,
embodying all the latest i'm
provementS up to 1896. Don't
be deceived into buying a lot
of Stearns' yellow Fellows
that are back numbers and
were manufactured in 1894
and sold on the western shores
in 1895 as up to date, when
they are not. We have reason
to believe and are so informed
by reliable San Francisco agents
that the "Stearns" wheels that
have been imported and placed
on sale here are not of the lat
est pattern, and hence caution
Would-be purchasers to look
out for themselves and not be
deceived into buying an anti
quated wheel.
One Of the largest dealers in
bicycles in the United States
furnishes us with the following
information in regard to the
".StearnS' wheel for pubIica-
ton:
This is a wheel that, owing
to the nice finish and the fact
that they were the first to get
out an adjustable handle bar,
took quite a squirt, but we have
known of many cases where
they have not given satisfac-
ton. The writer in October,
1894, bought a "Stearns" wheel
that was badly out of order in
December. He sold it to a
friend of his and it has been
the cause of complaint con-
stantly since. AT the same
time two "StearnS" ladies'
wheels were purchased, and
they have been a source of ex-
penSe and annoyance ever
since, until the two ladies own
ing them sold them at a sacri-
flee and bought Tribunes, and
they claim that the Tribune
wheel is far superior to the
StearnS.
These facts speak for them
selves. We ask any intending
purchaser to take one of the
Stearns wheels to any firSt-class
mechanic and have him take it
apart and compare it with the
corresponding features of the !
Tribune wheel. We know that |
an honest opinion would be |
that the Tribune is by far the
better wheel and hence make
the challenge.
We have some Tribune Tan |
demS on the way here direct
from the factory. The reason
we did not get them on the
Australia was because they
were not finished. Everybody
remembers Punch'S advice to
people about to get married,
which was Don't" We give
the same advice to those about
to purchase a Stearns tandem
or single wheel. Call and ex-
anime the Tribunes; they are
far superior in every respect
and won't eat up your wages
in repairs.
We have ten boys and girls
wheels for Christmas, and we
intend to sell every one of
them.

When John Smith gets into the tea

Smithsen. If he trades among the Tus-
caroras, he becomes Tom Qua Smitha.
In Poland he is known as Ivan Schmit-
