INDUSTRIES THAT PROSPER.

Democratic Poverty.

Democratic Poverty.
There are two industries in the United

Wed therein, and to those who are

the country.
One of the largest manufacturers Of
..u;nc machines in the United States
has informed us that his works were
never so busy as they have been for
eo,,e months past. He has received large
ordars for sewing machines which are

inc apparel and other goods that have
formerly been made by hand But the

inc machines rather than hand labor in

nrotective tariff.
In the other case, the manufacture of
naper bags, the demand is reported to
Ms as being simply unprecedented. Nat
urally this would suggest much larger
volume Of retail trade transactions So

smaller quantities. The demand now is
for the smallest sized bags that are
made, and the manufacturer ascertained
The reason for this. 1t appears that the
masses of wage earners and the poorer
classes of our communities are buying
smaller quantities of the necessaries of
life than they used to do. Instead of five
pounds of sugar being purchased at a
time, the order is given for only one
pound Instead of selling pound of tea
the retailer sells only quarter Of a
pound package. The Democratic 'pros-
pertyn has enforced the most rigid
economy among buyers, and every dollar
earned has to be husbanded to the ut
most.

The White Pine. BY Clifford Pin
chot and Henry s. Graves. 12 mo,
1O2 pages. Bound in cloth. Pub
lished by the Century Company,
New York.
This interesting little volumn was
compiled from sylvicultural notes
made by Mr.. Graves principally in
the numbering regions of central
Pennsylvania. with some few mea-
surements from Now York, the gem
eral plan of work and forming of
conclusions being done by Mr.. Pin
chot.
1t contains chapters ON the growth
situation and occurrence, the trees
found growing with the pine, its ma
tural enemies, fire and wind, togeth-
er with yield tables of volume, etc.
illustrated by curves for average
height and diameter, volume and
yield of merchantable timber, clos
ing with table of diameters and
areas of circles. These tables and
curves were made from a large num-
Der of trees which were cut in lum
bering operations. This shows that
on land of the first quality the larg-
est mean annual increment per
year in merchantable timber, per
scale board feet, was in a white pine
tree from 1870 to 14O years old, the
age necessary to secure the best re-
suits increasing as the ground be-
comes poorer in third quality soil
being found at an age of about 210
years. This illustrates the folly of
cutting young white pine timber, as
is often done, at a time when 1t is
really only commencing to give the
best returns, and should be of value
to those persons who are interested
in the growing or cutting of white
pine.-Forest Leaves.

Jas. A. MCGOWAN for his new charge

for that clergyman. The Watch
man says;
We do not know nor care to know
the cause of the differences that
have existed in his church here,
and which have led to his separa-
ton from our community, but we
know that he will carry with him to
his new abode the esteem of hun
dred of friends in other denomina-
tions, as we'll as his own. He is an
able and eloquent sermonizer and as
Christian pastor he has labored in
his Masters vineyard without TAX
ing thought for the morrow, or for
his own health and comfort. He has
prayed by the bedside of the sick
and dying, cheered the discouraged
and despondent and buried the dead
In work he has not been "all things
to all men,"

Last Saturday forenoon Mrs, Mary A.

Creek near Coles school house, caught
FIRE from the chimney and burned down,
together with the greater part Of the CON
tents. 1t is said Mrs Young had risen
early, prepared breakfast for her son, who
was going away to work, and had then
lain down again and fell into sleep.
Later, the family of John G. Titman saw
the roof was burning flercely, and rushed
down TO Mrs. Youngs' assistance. They
her found down stairs asleep, and reused
her only a few seconds before the roof fell
in. Very few things were saved. We under
stand the building was insured for a hun
dred dollars, or thereabout, but this will
not nearly cover the loss. The deepest
sympathies are with Mrs. Young, who is
old, feeble, and is now inconsolable Her
children, however, will do the best they
can to tighten her troubles.

About children Riding Bicycles.

The best physicians are agreed
that it is an exceedingly injurious
thing to carry small children, parti-
cularly those under 5 years of age,
on bicycles. The jarring affects the
stomach and back and brain of the
children who are unfortunate enough
to have bicycle cranks for parents
and is injurious in other ways. The
proposals to legislate against the
practice seem impracticable, and the
only solution of the evil seems to be
the creation of healthy sentiment
in opposition to the custom. Per-
haps, also in extreme cases the So
ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Children may be able under the
existing laws to deal with the erring
parents, who, however, are not like
ly to insist upon their rights to in
jure their children if the facts are
made clear tothem.
