SOUTH FEELS RevlvlNe TRADE.
Were Miners Strike Settled Industrial
Situation Would BE Good.

Chattanooga, Tenn, July 27.-The
Tradesman's southern correspondents
report an activity In Industrial opera
tions that is very encouraging under
existing circumstances. The coal min
ers' strike threatens to retard business.
but an early settlement is hoped for In
the southern states the strike has not
been serious Matters have been ami
cably settled in the Birmingham dis
trict and the men who were out have re-
sumed work. The miners in West Vir-
ginia are fairly well satisfied with pres
ent conditions and only afew mines are
idle. In the Jellico district, In Tennes-
see, the miners are still idle and consid-
cradle restitution is reported
The situation in iron and steel shows
little change since last week. Opera
tions are active, with favorable outlook
and three additional furnaces will be put
in blast at Birmingham. The demand
for lumber is steady. Prices have an
upward tendency and live business is
expected when the fall season opens.

Russia,s Great Shin Canal.

Russia proposes to connect by canal
the Black and Baltic seas, the big
ditch, which is to carry the largest
battleships, being 1000 miles long, 213
feet wide at the surface and 10 at the,
base and 20 feet deep and connecting
Riga on the Baltic with Cherson on the
Dneiper near the Black sea- The canal
will run from Riga into the river
Dwina, which will be used to Dwina-
burg, whence the canal will be cut to
Sepel, and the Beresina and Dneiper
rivers utilized from thence to Cherson.
and it is proposed also 10 cover all the
river regions with such a network of
canals as will aid greatly in developing
the surrounding country. The steam
ship voyage between the two seas will
be reduced from 2 to days, as travel
will go on night and day at permitted
speed of seven miles an hour. The es-
timated cost is 500, 900, 600, which will
fall far short of the actuality, and Ger
many sees in the work not only cheaper
food, but new demand for her iron
and steel products, Exchange.

apprenticeship of SO years he married
Sophia Lacome and moved 20 Water
vile. This was at q time when that
place was known as Winslow. and

three houses in the hamlet.
Mrs. Pooler is 1 s years younger than
her husband and looks only 80. She is

her husband, whom she deems a very
old man. as she is but Sc, and of this
she reminds him frequently.
Mr.. Pooler says he has not been to-
bed for 20 years, which is accounted for
by his inability to breathe when lying
down. But, as he says, after one gets 3
used to sitting up it is more convenient,
as one does not have to take off his +
clothes and can go out for walk at any
time, day or night. When asked how
old any of his relatives had lived to be,
he remarked that he did not recall
whether it was his grandfather or his
great grandfather who did not die until
he was 1876. For his part, he sees no
special reason why he might not live
to be as old.-Boston Herald
