First TO feel the force OF this move

be the iumbering interests Of the South
Atlantic a1j Gulf coasts. Prior TO
three years ago they looked upon Cuba
as an excellent outlet Tor the coarse
end OF the mill cuts. and since that
market has been closed to permit the
prosecution OF i most hideous and re
voldLg war, the CoaTser grades of ye!-
low pine produced at coast points have
been marketed with great difficulty and
seldom at profit. Il IS unfortunately
true that Cuba viii be unable 10 real

operators that the industry has been so
completely crippled By the ravages Qr

Tent pins are mostly made Of white

stand the hard knocks to which they
are subjected. They are made ip
lengths OF sixteen and tyentlS-.
inches. Made Of hard wood as they are
they are yet liable to be broken. $Dd
they are also lost. Even In peace tho
consumption Of tont pins is consideca-

carry in stock 5000 or 10000 tent pins.
In war times the demand Is, OF course.
far greater. Like many other manu-

Statistics compiled for railroad rec
ords indicate that inexperienced en-
ployes are more careful than those who
have grown old in railroad service.
According to these statistics the larg-
est average Of injuries occurred after
the employees had been in service six
years, and the figures given would in
dictate that the employees as a general
rule are careful up to the time when
they have been in the service three or
four years, and then become more care
less until about their eighth year Of
service, when the figures sheE that
they again become more careful, as
those who had worked over ten years
have smaller comparative percentage
of injuries than those who had worked
gix years.

stated that the five books by which
she is known bore no proportion to the
enormous amount of anonymous writ
ings by which she simply earned her
livelihood. An eminent American sur
geon in an address to a medical school
said, Very few successful men can
expect to perform more than one or
two great operations in the course OF
a long practice. The bulk Of work
ought to be training for these opera
tons" Honest, intelligent lads often
set out in life with the resolve to add
something to the happiness or wis
dom of the world. Old age comes and
they are forced to feel that they have
done no work that is recognized, or,
so far as they can see, that has been OF
large benefit to their generation. Their
labor has been given to support life.
If any readers, old or young, of these
lines are inclined to take this dis
heartening view of their work, they
should read Morrell's account Of his
journey through Upper Canada. "Our
way lay across small lakes and through
long stretches OF forest. We had to
carry the canoes over the land in Or
der to cross the water, and so heavy
were they that grumbled much at
having to toll hard for two days in or
der to make progress on the third, I'M
til 1 remembered that the trudging
under the load brought me to my jour
ney's end as much as the floating on
tina water" There are a good many
carries" in each human life, days and
years of heavy labor which go to earn
the means to live. But if our faces
are turned toward home, every step
under the burden brings us surely near

Is 1t a Forming Sun.

Remarkable photographs Of the ring
nebula" in the constellation Lyra have
recently been made at the Meudon op-
servatory, near Paris. These pictures
show a great deal of diffused nebulous
matter inside the ring, but none out
side, while in the center appears the
image Of star. This star can also Do
seen with a telescope. But the draw
ings of the ring nebula made by Her
schel in 1888, by Lord Rose in 1874
and by TrouVelot in 1873, show no star
there, and Monsieur Rabourdan thinks
this may indicate that changes are go
ing on in the nebula; such, for instance
as the formation of a solar body With'
in the ring.
