Tie Trade in Sawdust.

II New York city there are about
SEQ vendors of sawdust, having a
capital of 100000 annually.
Forty years ago the mills were glad
to have sawdust carted away; 25
years ago it could be bought for
30 cents a load; now it brings So 80
a load at the mills. 1t is used at
hotels, eating houses, groceries and
other business places. 1t is wet
and spread over floors in order to
make the sweeping cleaner work.
Plumbers use it a great deal about
pipes and buildings to deaden the
walls and floors. Soda water men
and packers of glass and small
articles of every kind use it, and
dolls are stuffed with it. Yellow
pine makes the best sawdust, as it
is the least dusty and has a pun
gent, healthy smell. But any light
wood will do. Black walnut saw
dust will not sell, and is burned.

Check Rnins and Rllnders.


These are two twin relics of bar
barism that still hold their own
against all feeling of humanity, in
many parts ofour country. The bin
der was invented probably to keep
the horse from seeing anything that
might be coming up behind him.
Whoever invented it did not under
stand the functions of the eye of a
horse at all. The eye of horse is
made so he can see through very
wide range, from the front to rear
and the binder hides from him
three quarters of what he can see
without them. 1t is entered as an
excuse that 1t keeps him from shy
ing at the whip or at any thing that
comes up suddenly behind. This
plea is not good for horse with
binders once he learns that a whip is
behind he does not forget it and is
in constant dread of being struck.
He is more easily startled by a
noise, the source of which he can
not see, than he would be if the
binder were off. The check rein
is worse than the binder, and not a
day passes but we see ladies riding
at ease in comfortable carriages
while their horses are suffering tor
ture because their heads are pulled
up in an unnatural position and
held there in a most cruel manner.
These spirited horses are not toss
ing their heads as they go down the
street because they are proud and
high lived 1t is because they are
in pain as cruel as every possessed
the victim Of the rack, and it is
down right savagery to drive a
team refined up in that manner. We
have seen ladies cry out when a
horse was struck by whip as if it
had been themselves who received
the blow, and at the same time the
team in their carriage was in agony
constantly because of the check
reins. A cruel blow with q whip is
small affair besides the torture of a
team with their heads checked up
according to the ignorant ideals OF
the correct position.

The Gold Rings

The Republicans of Maryland
held their State convention last
week and went through the formal
ity of nominating a man by the
name Lowndes for Governor. They
adopted the following plank on the
money question, which for Gold
bugism is without a parallel, but it
shows that the Republican leaders
are determined to still further crush
out the farming interests and make
everybody subservent to tho
English Shylocks:
"Second, That they oppose any
legislation which shall seek to create
in this country any other or differ
ent standard than that of the gold
dollar, or the issuance by the gov
eminent or by its authority or per
mission, of any form of currency
except such as shall be convertible
into gold at its face value by the
holder thereof at his pleasure.

the moa was 10 the bir,t tribe. 1t belonged
to the Titans which dwelt upon the earth
