what he did and what he should have
done appalled, her-she hardly cared to
think of it. The estate was neglected

pressed; appeals for mercy and for JUS

farmers were all dissatisfied: the only
person who really seemed to approve

Blantyre; the steward, the man whom
Lady Caraven instinctively disliked.

Lord Caraven, of rubbing his hands

the young countess exceedingly. He

NOVELTY MILLS OF MAINE.

Ito be continued.)

spools, Skewers, Toothpicks, Dice Boxes
and Baby SIeighs Produced.
From the New York Sun: The spool
factories of Maine turn out annually
about 250,OO0,0O0 spools, which will
hold $4,000, OOO,0 900 yards of thread-2OO
yards to the spool. There are sew
enteen of these factories in the state,
employing $50 hands, at average wages
of $3.50 day each, or $247,5 year
total. In the making of the spools
$500 cords of white birch timber, or
Is. $50 900 feet, are used. This timber
is worth 81 a cord. A large part Oh
the spool timber cut in Maine is not
manufactured there, but shipped from
Bangor to great factories in England
and Scotland. Last year Bangor ex-
ported 6,97S,66S feet Of spool bars to
the United Kingdom, the value being
s144,000. and more will be shipped next
year. There is practically no limit
to the supply of white birch available.
The so-called novelty mills" Of Maine
are numerous all through the hard
wood districts. In these mills are
turned out all kinds of little wooden
boxes, many of which are used by
druggists; checker boxes, checkers, dice
boxes, wooden shoppers, handles OF
thousand kinds and shapes, toothpicks
by the million, ladders, swings, sleds,
school desks and chair, toy carts and
wheelbarrows, tables, desks, cycle
stands. baby sleighs, and other things
TOO numerous to mention. The largest
novelty" factory in the world is at
South Paris, oxford county, where 200
hands are employed. A Dixfield factory
has lust completed an order for S,OO0,-
600 checkers and 200, 900 dice boxes and
at another factory in the same town
they have made this year $4,000, 600
toothpicks. One firm has made 5,0OO,-
900 skewers, such as are used by butch
ers. Wooden bicycle rims are also an
important article of manufacture. The
product of these factories goes to all
parts of the world. The timber used
was once considered practically worth
less.

of the cavalry and infantry will be con-
gregated, so that at least $4,000 regulars
will be garrisoned in the eastern and
southern coast states in preparation for
any emergency which may arise. The cost
of transporting this great body of men,
some of them coming more than 5000
miles. will be too great to be borne by the
scanty annual appropriation for hereto
fore unimportant movements OF the army
organizations, and it will be necessary TO
resort to the emergency fund of $5O,OOO,-

Does Not Want War.
Senior Polo Bernabe, the new Spanish
minister, talking with reporter at
Washington, expressed himself as salts
ned that neither the united otates Hor
Spain wants war. The minister referred
to the fact that the Cuban cabinet had
appointed a commission to negotiate a CIV
II treaty with this country as another evil
dence of the complete autonomy scheme
in Cuba. Speaking of the present policy
of Spain In Cuba, the minister said:
1.-The government has granted autonomy
on the broadcast and most liberal lines 1t
is designated to give to the Cuban people
the complete direction of their internal
affairs, thus gratifying the honorable am
bition of the Cubans. while at the same
time, maintaining the historic allegiance
of Cuba as a colony of Spain. The gov

ingly, or with any technical restrictions
Already much has been accomplished, and
there is the fullest confidence that the
plan will be carried into full execution.

by the servants and the laborers that
they would appeal to the earl. He had
a fashion of saying, "You can try It
you will see what the earl says" for
the earl had but one answer to every
thing-complaint, excuse or prayer
and 1t was, Go to Blantyre"-indeed
the order had become quite a byword
on the estate, go to Blantyre" being
considered as equivalent to something
far more dreadful.
No more painful life than Hildred's
could have been imagined. Ravens
mere was gay enough; they saw plenty
of visitors, they had balls and dinner
parties; their visitors were gay, world
ly brilliant people, who came to en-
joy themselves for few days, and did
not care to enter into the cares and
trials Of their hostess. With them she
was gay and brilliant-she would show
nothing Of the anguish that never left
her. they should not go away and talk
about Lady Caraven, the wife whom
her husband did not love-" whatever
it cost her, and the effort was at times
terrible.
The earl saw her only at those
times, and he smiled significantly.
Women have no heart" he said,
scoffiingly. This girl is just as happy
as though she had the most loving hus-
band in the world She has what she
wanted, and she seems to enjoy 1t,
too"
OF the noble, womanly pride that
disdained all complaint; of the brave
spirit that fought so resolutely with
her longing for happiness and her
longing for love, he never even dream
ed.
Il begin to think" said the hand
some earl to himself one day, that
have not done so badly after all. If
had married for love or anything OF
that kind, what trouble 1 should have
had, what reproaches, what tears
and a woman's tears! / would sooner
face untold hardships. l should have
had all the uncertainties Of love; now
1 am spared it all, and my house is
presided over by queenly mistress.
Taking everything into account, l
consider 1 am fortunate man."
So he said in his blindness; but the
time was to come when he would
awaken from that blindness with sud
den, passionate pain.
When the month of May came round
he decided upon going to London. Hal
by House was prepared for them, and
the handsome earl's friends made
ready to receive him with open arms.
He had been welcome in his penniless
state, and, having married wealthy
heiress, he was now doubly welcome.
Those who had won money from him
before looked forward 20 winning
more; those who had gambled and bet
with him before looked forward to a
renewal of those delights. He would
be welcome.
The elite OF the fashionable world
were not sorry to receive their favor
ite again. The rumor that Halby
House was to be thrown open, that the
young Countess Of Caraven was very
beautiful. that the earl's revived pros
perity would enable him to vie with
the best party givers in London was
gooG news. The only one Indifferent to
it was the young countess herself
and she would fain have hidden her
sorrows from all eyes and remained at
! Ravensmere.

Large Sales Of Iron Ore.

It is estimated that at this date, be
fore pound of ore has been shipped
from Lake Superior ports, the sales OF
ore for this delivery exceed 10000, OOO
tons. or more than the entire shipments
of any year preceding the last Indeed,
so tremendous has been this buying
movement that the full years product
of many classes of high-grade ore is en-
tirely sold out. For the remainder Of
the year it will be almost impossible to
to obtain Bessemer ores from the Mar
ouette or Ver1Gillion ranges, while the
Giogebic. Menominee, and Mesaba have
comparatively little to dispose of. Low
grade ores, high in silicon or phosphor
ous, or both, are still to be had, and it
looks as if they would bring better
prices before the season is over than
was expected.
In ali. the ore sales of the past five
weeks represent value of SOS, 900, ,OOO,
The Carnegie and Oliver steel com
panies, which own mines in three of the
lake ranges capable of an output of
over three million tons, are evidently
not content with this vast total for their
business, and have in the past week
bought 800, 900 tons of Mesaba ores from
the Rockefeller and Franklin compan-
les. The Carnegie Steel Company has
made the discovery since it began the
use of its new furnace that it can great
" increase the proportion of the cheap
Mesrba ores in its furnace mixtures.
This will enable it to produce iron at a
still smaller cost than before.
Several Minnesota mines have lately
been sold. Cenith has been bought by
the Oliver Mining Company for about
$3.50. 900 bonus above the 30-cent royalty
rate. 1t will be improved at once.
Sellers has also oeen purchased by the
Consolidated Company.
Shipments are in progress to the dock
from all the five ranges, and vessels arc
expected at Escanaba in day or tc

Lake Superior will not be open for
