The Trade in Sawdust.

In New York City there are about
600 venders of sawdust, having capi-
tai of 5000, 900 invested and doing a
business of $2,ooo,ooo annually.
Forty years ago the mills were glad to
have the sawdust carted away twenty
five years ago it could be bought for
fifty cents load now it brings S.. 50
load at the mills.
1t is used in hotels, eating houses,
groceries and other business places.

fully make for him who sways her
heart. What she does by impulse
man feebly tries to do by calculation.
But it is in moral courage that wo
man shines, Just as the greater
strength and training of man makes
him physically superior, SO the moral
strength and training Of woman makes
him morally her inferior. In loyalty,
truthfu'pess, chastity, fidelity, pity,
sobriety, honesty, and general perse-
verance IN well doing, she is imp1easur-
ably above him. This has been motto
ed by great writers in every age, and
it would not be difficult to discover
why she is so much mans moral
superior. Vaudeville thought it was
becouse her brain was more accurate
ly balanced. We think, however,
that it is largely owing to higher
standard of moral conduct having
been constantly demanded from her
from remotest times. But she must
insist upon further physical advance
ment, and man should look to his
morals, that sexual harmony may re-
suit.
1t is no wonder that the towards
and narrow hearted among the men
are bitterly oppo sed to the New
Woman" They are "the rod Of
empire" slipping from their grasp,
and feel that their brute force and
cunning cannot save them. Women
are already mems moral superiors,
and are fast becoming their intellect
ual squalls. Their physique is improv-
ing more rapidly than the mems.
Altogether, the outlook assures us Of
sexual equality at no far distant date.
Whenever 1t arrives, it will give a
universal impetus to progress, and
mark a new and happier era for hui
manity, for Right, not Might, will
govern, and the worthiest wear the
crown. The brave women Of the past
and present will then be revered as
the daring pioneers in the discovery
of New Heaven and New Earth.

TOMMY AND HIS AUNT MARY

Did you ever hear about the dis.
pute Thomas Jefferson and Charles
Carroll of Carrollton had when they
came to write and sign the Declara-
ton of Independence ~
"No," said Tommy, wondering
what his aunt would say next.
"They had quite little tiff. Jeffer-
son, you sec, wanted to have 1t writ
ten on a typewriter, and"
"But, Aunt, the typewriter wasn't
invented then"
"That's just what Charles Carroll
of Carrollton told him. But Jefferson
insisted on calling in the janitor, and
having it invented while they waited.
'Posterity can never read my hand
writing said Jefferson. Besides, my
fountain-pen won't work to day; you
know how it is with these fountain
pens-some days ink will shoot out OF
them like water out of garden hose,
and other times you can't get it out

Use it in Time.

Catarrh starts in the nasal passages,
affecting eyes, ears and throat, and is
in fact, the great enemy Of the mucous
membrane. Neglected colds in the
head almost invariably precede ca
tarrh, causing an excessive flow of
mucous, and if the mucous discharge
becomes interrupted the disagreeable
results of catarrh will follow, such as
bad breath, severe pain across fore
head and about the eyes, roaring and
buzzing sound in the ears and often
times very offensive discharge. Ely's
Cream Balm is the acknowledged cure
for these troubles.

has proven catarrh to be constitu-

constitutional treatment. Halls Ca

means of which the children may be en-
