American Hardwoods in Europe.

The demand for American hard
woods in Europe is growing, and oak
leads the foreign shipments, although
tulip, poplar, ash, gum and black wal
nut, whenever a good quality can be
secured. are in some demand. Euro
pean consumers like the quality of
American oak, and since it is known
to be plentiful here, it will probably be
in increasing demand. Cottonwood
has been shipped to Germany in con-
siderable quantities, where cheap wood
is required for furniture and other
uses. Much of this lumber is forward
ell from New Orleans, and since
great part of the oak, ash, poplar, cot
tonwOod and other timbers demanded
by the foreign market is in the South
ern States, is not improbable that lum-
ber for foreign markets will be largely
shipped in future from Gulf ports. In
speaking of this matter The North
western Lumberman says that the Eli
ropean market requires lumber cut of
exact thickness and of ACETATE length,
trimmed so as to have the butts square
and true. Space for piling in the yards
of the Old World is an object, so that
random. uneven lengths are objection
able. and. since the foreign buyer in
sists that he shall have just what he
bargains for, quality should be strictly
attended to.-Gartlen and Forest.

Let the Work Go On.

The defeat Of John C. Fremont for
President in 1856 did not stop the anti
slavery discussion. 1t went ON with
increasing vigor, and in 1850 as a re-
suit Abraham Lincoln was elected Pres
ident. The campaign of 1856 was the
first direct struggle with the slave pow
er, then as firmly intrenched in the con-
troll of the Federal Government as the
money power is to-day. The first con-
test resulted in defeat. The second
brought victory.
The silver fight is very similar to that
which was waged against slavery. The
declarations Of the Chicago platform of
1896 were almost as new as were the
declarations of the Republican plat
form of 1856. Both of them caused a
new alignment of parties. The new
Democracy with the silver banner has
gone down In defeat in its first cam
paign. So did the Republican party
with its anti-slavery banner. The few
weeks devoted to the campaign of edu-
cation, were not sufficient to convince
the people Of the real purposes Of the
slave power. But the discussion went
on, and Buchanan's administration was
an object lesson. So the silver discus
sion will go on, and so McKinley's ad-
ministration will be an object lesson.
Before his time Is half expired people
will recall the assertions and predic-
tions Of the silver orators and the silver
press in 1896, and wish they had voted
for Bryan. Firmly they will resolve to
vote the silver ticket in 1900. By that
time the iron hand Of the money power
will have been making itself more gem
orally felt, and it will not be incased

Licking Postage Stamps.

Licking postage stamps is very COM
mon practice. and one that but few
people would associate with danger OF
disease of any sort. OF course. illness
lraceable to this cause is rare, but that
,t does sometimes occur no one can
doubt. But. aside from the disease
germ theory of abstaining from this
practice, it certainly is not cleanly
habit nor is it il necessary action. 1t is
a good deal easier and safer to lick the
envelope. or. what is better. mOisten
the corner of it with tinger-tips and
water. and then apply the stamp. A
wet handkerchief will dampen the en-
velope sufficiently to make the stamp
adhere. While great care is taken in
soc preparation of the mucilage that is
put upon the postage stamps, it is i'm
possible to insure the perfect health OF
the persons who handle them. An en-
ployee with an inOculable disease
might spread his i'll condition through
a whole country. 1t may not be neces-
sary to warn every one, but those who
hive never had their attention called

lo.ut's reflection, to see the folly OF
licking postage stamps.

BelshaZZar gave a feast to a thou

New York, the other night, and though

much in evidence. In other words, the
