Bits of Tin.

IAN ordinary political campaign"
said a novelty manufacturer, lis not an
unmitigated evil to all branches Of
trade. Among those that profit by it are
the tin car manufacturers. Most of the
campaign buttons are made of tin. and
when a big political struggle is expect
ed the makers send out agents through
the tin factories of the south TO buy up
all the waste tin and useless cans they
can find to make their buttons with.
Most of the campaign buttons are made
in Newark, and the amount paid by the
makers to the can factories, particularly
those CT Baltimore. is considerable, even
though the tin is waste, if anything
can be called waste nowadays.
"Nor is the tin waste useless, ever
when no political excitement is on. |
know a man who visits Baltimore at
regular intervals and buys all the scrap
tin he can find and sells it to the button
makers. 1t is used for the backing OF
ordinary buttons. ANY day in parts Of
Brooklyn you car see wagons loaded
with scrap tin and old cans. The great.
er part Of this goes to the places where
buttons, toys and gewgaws Of variou.
kinds are made. New York Sun.

There was a certain family in which
the worker became interested. Though
very poor, their rooms were clean, and
they were very fond of one another,
especially of the old grandmother, who
had not been long in this country. The
church people were very DESTROYS Of
assisting them. as the children always
attended Sunday school and were we'll
brought up: SO the district visitor was
instructed to look out for them.
This she did, seeing that they had a
modest allow IL Of groceries, coal
enough to keep them from freezing, and
SO on. She did not give them money, as
that was contrary to her methods except
in special cases. but she was going out Of
town for IA week, and so left with the
mother so cents for emergencies.
This is what they told her they did
with it:

Titles For Sale.

The only state in which the sale of
nobiliary honors is open and legal is,
strangely enough, a republic-the tiny
Italian republic Of San Marine, Of the
existence of which many are unaware.
You can get a title in San Marine on
application-and payment Of the fee,
which is not always the same for the
individual honor-and the proceeds are
used for the support of the national
founding asylum. You have the salts
faction of knowing that you have per-
formed an act Of charity. but you will
get little more than that for your
money. San Marine distinctions do not
count for anything outside the state aud
for but little within it.

Water Waste.

The chief Of the Philadelphia weather
bureau, in a paper recently read by
him, showed the wonderfully large ag-
gregate to which apparently trivial but
continued leaks may amount.
One drop Of leakage per second
amounts to five gallons per day. This
may we'll be remembered by central sta

trivial steam leaks are q loss not only Of

BOSTON, Sept. 2S.-The. American Wool and
Cotton Reporter says: So far as local trading Is
concerned the market shows no change worthy OF
mention. The money market is favorable and
prices for wool are well maintained. We do not
hear of any striking concessions. There seems
to be nothing for anyone TO do except wait for de-
veopments. In the matter of exporting wool our
dealers feel that there is possibly room for con-
siderable activity The woods that being ex-
ported are of course woods in bond on which the
duty has not been paid. These mostly direct
importations from Australia. although they in
clude some woods bought at the London sales
months ago. The sales for the week In Boston
amount to 1,e42 900 lbs domestic and $4,000 for
eign. making a total of 1615,oOO lbs, against a
total Of 1854 600 for the previous week and total
of 10 0eO for the corresponding week last year
Sales since Jan. 1. 1885, amount TO S5S7SOl0 lbs,
against SEA. $50, 100 last year at this time.
