heard him expound tho gospel. He form
ed connection with Matthew Carey, a
Philadelphia publisher, and sold his
books throughout Maryland and Vir-
ginia, travelling from place to place with
a wagon load Of literary wares. He
cared little for creed and would fill any
pulpit regardless Of denomination. Just
95 years ago no published the first life
of Washington. 1t was called "a His
tory Of the Life and Death, Virtues and
Exploits Of General George Washington,
Faithfully Taken From Authentic Docu-
ments." The book had great sale, and
one of its anecdotes Of the young Wash
ington became a national joke. Later
biographers were unable to find any evil
dence establishing the truth of the sto-
ries, and there seems little doubt that
the imaginative Weems invented them.

THE IRON AND STEEL BOOM.

Bralstreet's describes the great ad-
vance made in the iron and steel trade
I'm the last six months as the greatest
boom In the iron and steel trade In our
history" The figures from the first OF
the year. both as to price and output
show an amazing Increase. The re-
vival dates from the raising of wages
by TIE II. G. FriclS Coke company of
Pennsylvania. The intoceSss represented
by tNls company own more than halr
OF the coke ovens OF the Conne,isvil,e
region. and their advance In wages es-
tt'5hrfes a new basis Tor al the rest,
the new scale OF wages being generally
adopted, The price of coke Immediately
rose from 81 to $i.S5 per ton, and oonse-
quent upon this was an Increase In the
price OF pig Iron and all manufactures
OF iron and steel, watch has continued
ever since. Bradstreets maintains that
the highest point either IN activity or
prices has not yet been reached. The
activity s not from any siag.e source OF
stimulus but from. nearly every depart
tnent OF the iron and steel trade.
The Increase In prices, from Jan. s. has
been fIom $3.50 to Si6 In Bessemer pig
iron, from $i4.O to S2S In Bsssemer bil-
,cts from $9,25 10 si250 In grly forge pig
iron. and from 30 cents to $t.30 IN mer-
chant lar iron. The consumption OF pig
iron has Increased from i6Sfli tons In
January to lSO.s25 in August Taken
tcgetaer this increase In both prices and
production Is unprecedented. The increase
In prices In 1890 was greater and more
rigid. but the production OF pig iron dur
ing tae entlce year OF 1880 was less than
thar Tor the tnst six months OF this year
In lAe present boom there Is an absence
OF speculative features. and a steady con-
sumptive demand, a striking feature of |
the present conditions Is the emphasis |
placed on the dominating influence OF the /
Bessemer trade that the largest demand /
and the greater advance have been
saown. The mcst significant point to

We went up to him again where he lay

A RABBIT PARLIAMENT.
The Prolific Animal Battles Law and
Science.

A rabbit parliament was held in Aus
tra.ia This was not a convention Of
the animals, but great gathering OF
gentlemen who are engaged in their ex-
termination.
For four days, says the Philadelphia
Record, representatives from every part
of the co.ony held high debate over
the animals performances. But acts OF
parliament seem vain in this matter and
science itself bankrupt. The New South
Wales government ait one period had
more than three thousand men employed
In killing rabbits. 1t has erected fifteen
thousand miles of rabbit proof fencing.
It once offered twenty-five thousand
pounds sterling for n specific against
rabbits and though 1t received two
thousand schemes, the too prolific bunny
has triumphed over them all, and at the
present moment the land department Of
New South Wales has one million acres
of abandoned land, thrown up in conse-
quence OF the recklezs march of the rab-
BIT.
The rabbit parliament seems to Llve
failed to produce any clear and striking
results. A score of "infallib.e' specifics,
ranging from ferrets to tank Slaughter,
had their advocates but about these dole
full experience made the delegates shake
their heads II the rabbit could be turned
into a profitable export the question
would be solved, but this seems out OF
the question. The policy favored by the
colony is that of "grld-lronlng' the co..
ony with rabblt-proof fences, transfer
ring the duty of suppressing the rabbit
from the stlte to private landowners,
and giving the landowner every possible
help in carrying on the campaign against
his furry and four-legged foe."

A Puzzle Presented That May Give a

l nave found the following interesting
problem in an Old note book, writes Sir
Walter Besant. 1 have no recollection at

Those vino do not wiz find 1t, l think,
unless they bring algebra to bear upon it,
rather a tough nut to crack. Here it is.

Wlckedness is a negligeab.e quantlty-it
does not enter into the problem-who
robbed ar orchard, carried away the ap-
pies in a sack laid them up in a barn
for the night and went to bed. One of
them woke up before dawn, and, being
distruotful of his friends, thought he
would make sure of his share at once.
He therefore went to the barn, divided
the apples into three equal heaps-there
and dcrrled off his share. OnotAer niger
then woke up with the same uneaslness
and the same reso ution. He, too, di-
vided the apples into three heaps-there
was one over which he threw away-took
his share, and carried 1t off. And then
the third niger woke up with the same
emotions; he, too, divided the apples into
three portions-there was one over, which
ne threw away-took his share and de-
parted. In the morning everyone pre-
served silence over his dolngs Of the
night; they divided the app.es which
were left into three heaps-one was over,
which they threw away-and so eacn took
his share. How many apples were there
IN the sack? There are many possible
answers-a w.ho!e series Of numbers-but
let us have the lowest number of apples
possible. Senior wrlng.ors must be good
