SHODDY.

Awhile ago the people were told that free wool would close the shoddy mills and make clothing cheap and all wool. This was free trade poetry. The truth is that the shoddy mills have not been closed by free wool, and they are doing more business than ever. The Ameri- can manufacturer has been forced to meet the competition of foreign makers of woolens, who have always used shoddy for the cheaper grades of cloths in greater proportion than was done in this country, and as a matter of self protection he has resorted to the Euro pean practice. The result is that there has been an enormous increase in the importation of shoddy and correspond ing increase in it's use in the manufact- ure of woolen goods, The American consumer is not only being swindled, but he is wearing clothes that are not fit. to be worn, as anybody knows who knows what shoddy is.
 But it cannot be denied that there is a great harmony between Democratic government and shoddy.

ENCOURAGING.

Those who have been afraid that the world would soon become overpopulated can take fresh courage from some facts set forth by one of the statisticians of the economic science section of the British association, who has just dis covered that in about fifty years the population of England and Wales will have attained it's maximum. This ir1- vestigator, a Mir Cannan, has demon strated, by the aid of elaborate calcu, lations and many diagrams, that in the second half of next century the people of England will number about SS.000,- 900, and that after that their numbers will remain stationary, or begin to de- cline This conclusion is deduced from the fact that during the last nineteen years the percentage of births to per- sons living between the ages of twenty and forty has declined from ten to less than twelve. Should the decline con- tinue at the same rate, as seems prob able, for nineteen years more, point would be reached where the number of births would about equal the deaths, and the stationary point of population would be close at hand.
 A similar tendency has been observed in other countries. A study of births and marriages made by two Italians shows that, with but few exceptions, the birth rate in the most progressive States of Europe and America is de- clining. These facts indicate that in a hundred years from now the world may not be as crowded as some calculators have thought it would be.

 The tallest chimney was built at Port Dundas, Glasgow, Scotland, 1857 to lS5s' for F. Townsend. It Is he h,sh- est chimney in the world (454 feeb, and one of the loftlest masonry structures in existence, It is, independent of It's size, one of the best specimens of sub stantial, well-made brick work in eXis- tence' In Europe there are only two church steeples that exceed this struc- ture in heisht-namely, that of the Col ogne cathedral (51O feeD, and that of the strasburg cathedral (46S teeO. The great Pyramid of Tizeh was originally 4SO feet, although not so high at pres ent. The United States outtops them all with its Washington monument, $50 feet high, and the tower of the Phila- delphia Public buildings, which is 5S7 feet high.
 The Eiffel tower, at Paris, France, surpasses all other terrestrial metal structures with its altitude of nearly one thousand feet. The Great Tow er for London, England, in course of construction from designs of Mir, Hem ry Davey, c. F., will outtop an metal structures, being built of steel. and its extreme height will be 1,25O feet when finished.
 b The highest and most remarkable metal chimney in the world is erected at the imperial foundry at Halsbrucke, near Frieberg in Saxony. The height of this structure is 452,6 feet, and 15.74 feet in internal diameter, and is situat- ed on the right bank of Mulde, at all elevation of 219 feet above that of the foundry works, so that its total height above the sea is no less than 711.75 The works are situated on the left bank of the river and the furnace gases are conveyed across the river to the chim- ney on a bridge through pipe S,2271s feet in length.
 The highest artificial structure in America is the water works tower at Eden park, Cincinnati, O. The floor of the tower, reached by elevators, is 5g2 feet above the Ohio river, The base is 4O4 feet above the stream. If the height of the elevator shaft be added to the observation floor the grand total height is 5S9 feet.
 The highest office building in the world is the Manhattan Life Insurance company of New York city; it's height above the sidewalk is S47 feet, and its foundations go down 5 feet below the same, being 20 feet below the tidewater level, making a total of 400 feet The foundations consist of fifteen masonry piers, and are carried by the same num- Der of steel caissons. The latter were sunk to bedrock by the pneumatic pro cess, The cantilever system was used for the foundations.

 than it is above. The effect is not pretty. but then it's odd, and to be odd Is to be in the fashion.
 Yet, fashions whose greatest recom- mendation. if not their only one is their unusualness, are not long lived, and those women who must plan dresses to last in fashionableness for a good while will be safer in avoiding free use of braid and in employing some of the many beautiful spangled trim mings now offered Bands of iridescent spangles and ribbon garniture are com bined very prettily on this pictured dress, which is made of dark green suiting. Its skirt has narrow stripe of the spangles near the hem, and there are two wide bands on the front breadth. Then the blouse waist is banded up and down and across with the same trimming, ornaments being placed at the corners, and is alike in back and front. The sleeves are trim med to match, and collar, belt and TO- settes are of the ribbon.
 Stunning little capes are being made Of heavy shawling, fringe and all. These garments reach well below the elbow and are finished with practica- ble hood, the fringe making a. finish all about. They are very novel and at tractive, especially those in conspicuous plaid, but rich dark plaid should be chosen if the garment is to be depended on for constant use. FLORETTE.

TAXATION IN CHICAGO.

l The fact that the total assessed valua- l ton of Chicago property for 1894 was 1 less than that of twenty-five years ago reveals a queer state of affairs. In 1869 l the valuation was $266, ,920, 900; last year ! the assessors asserted that all the real and personal property in Chicago was worth only $247, ,425, ,442. In 1S72 the year after the great fire, the assessed valua- l ton was s2S3, ,t97, ,430 The next year it
 rose to $312, ,072, ,995; but in 1875 the "equal- l ized" valuation of the state board of 1 equalization was only $173, ,764,246. Then l the valuation diminished steadily every year until in 1880 it was only $117, ,133,- 643. Then it began to rise again until the figure for 1891 was $256, ,599,574 only 1 about S10,00O,000 less than in 1869. In 1 1892 there was another drop, making the 1 valuation $243, 3,73213S. Since then the 1 figures have been steadily increased, l but it is evident that the present valua- ton of less than s250 900 for all the |
 l property in Chicago is ridiculously low. l Chicago real estate is assessed occa. sionally at 20 per cent. of its value, of ten in the case of small properties at 15 | per cent; often in the case of high-class 1 residences at 10 per cent, and as low as per cent. sometimes with very val uabIe properties. Buildings to the cost l of $41S,0000 900 were put up in Chicago | between 1873 and 1893, but in the same ! time the tax valuation of all real estate
 in 1893 was only $123, ,745, 900, being much less than the cost of the newer buil1- ings, to say nothing of the old build | ings and the immense land values in
 creasing all the time. The low percen- tage of valuation, however, would not be worth so much attention were it equitably distributed It appears, how ever. that the departure from the fair
 cash value basis has been used to favor
 the big property owners and oppress
 the small ones. who possess less influ-
 ence with the assessors. Seventy of Chicago's great buildings, whose aggre-
 gate valuation is placed at S1OO. sos, ,500,

one private interest which is perennial, and yields in importance to nothing else beneath the stars. The placing of children in school is second to no other obligation which parents face, and as the long summer holidays draw to their close thoughtful heads of families con slider gravely where the boys and girls shall go, what shall be their course of instruction, and to whose care and guardianship the youthful minds in their most receptive period shall be ln- trusted.
 When the decision is simply to send son or daughter to the nearest public or private school which opens it's in viting doors, the affair is simple It gathers difficulty and becomes embar- rassing when there is, first hesitation between the comparative inducements offered by this or that school; second, when the parent, wisely forcasting the future, sees his boy already a collegian, and beyond that a man in full career amid life's activities, and realizes that success or failure for his entire period of existence on the earth may largely depend on the training received in the school room.
 The parent selecting a school should keep in mind that the teachers are vast ly more potential than the textbooks and the teaching. Wanted, man, a woman, should be the imperative cry of every home, when the thing in ques- tion is the impression to be made on character by the person before whom the pupils will sit Children and young people are quicker than we sometimes think to detect falsehood and hypo- crisy; they see with swift and intuitive discenment the man who is true, the woman who is noble, the teacher who is large minded and sincere. Sometimes the men and women of a community during an entire generation are inn pressed for good by the strong and large and generous nature of an instructor. The teacher taught when he did not know he was teaching-taught as much by indirection as by intention.

 The craze for braiding will continue, and skirts of otherwise quiet and in- offensive dresses will be made elabor- ate monstrosities by covering and sprawling over them great scroll de- signs In braiding of color to contrast with the dress material. One new and costly dress, for example, is of dull sage green, smooth cloth braided in rows of bright butter color, the design stimulating pair of great triangles set at either side of the skirt. the bases of the triangles at the hem, and the apeXes high up on the hips. The sides of the triangles towards the front cut the front of the skirt into queer panel effect, narrower at the foot where the corners of the triangle come together,

A peculiar case of fire on shipboard was that which damaged the bark An nie Stafford at Dieppe, France, recent ly, the facts in the case having been learned at the investigation into the fire It seems that the vessel carried as ballast about fifty tons of flint stones. While lying light alongside the quay the vessel pitched and rolled, and this produced friction between the stones, which is said to have caused a spark or sparks which ignited the ceiling. As the bark had previously carried car goes of petroleum, the interior wood work was naturally in fine condition for taking fire.

The rapid destruction of American Forests has been the subject of much lament A logging company in Wis eonsin has recently presented some in- structive comparisons between the size of pine logs marketed ten years ago and those which find their way to the mills at the present time. Ten years ago four or, at the most, five logs of average diameter would furnish 1000 feet of lumber. Five years later the number of logs required for 1000 feet was six, while to-day twelve, or fifteen, and in some sections twenty logs are required to furnish the same amount.
