All the world, with the exception of
Asia, comes to the Southern States for
timber. The single port os Bruins

in some form last year to twenty-five
different countries. Forest products,
not including turpentine and resin,
were shipped from the Southern ports
last year to the value of about $685.
600, 900. During the same period the
domestic consumption was probably
five or six times as great, carrying the
total value of the Southern forests up
to about $50, 100000. The South,
the GreatLake States aud the Northern
States now cut equal quantities of tim
ber-about $4,000, 100000 feet each
year. Chief among the trees of the
South is the pine, of which there are
four important varieties. Roughly
speaking, the pines cover half the ter
ritorY between the Potomac and the
Brazos River in Texas, or about 14O,-
600 square miles and will cut $50, 000,-
900, 900 feet of merchantable lumber.
The annual consumption averages
1900, ,000,0 900, and at this rate the
South can supply the world for thirty
five years. Another of the most valu-
able woods in the South is the cypress,
beautiful in color and grain, durable,
easily worked and adapted to every
use to which a building wood is needed.
The annual production of cypress. in
Guiding shingles, approximates 6OO,-
900, 600 feet, and it is estimated that
there are so, 900, 900, 600 feet of cypress
on the stump. The hardwoods of the
South embrace nearly all the varieties
to be found in the United States, and
cover 100000 acres. Among the
more important commercial hardwoods
are the different kinds of oak, ash,
hickory, poplar, cottonwood, chestnut,
butternut, pecan and sycamore, and
it is estimated that the South has 300,-

State Insurance For German workmen

state Insurance For German Workmen
Some astonishing figures have just
been issued by the imperial home Of
flee respecting the State insurance of
workmen. At the end of the year 1897
there were 442, 900 industrial establish
ments, with $3.50, 900 insured per-
sons, and 4,645, 900 agricultural settle.
ments, with II, 100000 insured per-
sons. This insurance has reference
only to accidents. In addition to the
numbers given above the workers in
the building trades have to be reckoned.
The total number of workmen insured
against accidents amounted roundly
to eighteen millions. The number Of
accidents in 1897 was 3S1, 900, and the
money compensation paid in lump
sums or annually to $4,000 persons
was sixteen million dollars.
There exists, moreover, in Germany,
system of insurance for all workmen
or employees against disablement and
old age. Disablement pay was granted
in 1897 to 231, 900 working men and
women; old age pensions were awarded
to 222, 900 persons. The amount to-
gether made up one hundred and
thirty-fye million dollars in one year.
The contributions in the same year
in the proportion of one-third from the
employers, one-third from the work
men and one-third from the State
amounted to two hundred and forty
five million dollars. The contributions
are high because it is intended to create
reserve fund of one hundred and
twenty five million dollars, the interest
on which will eventually permit of a
reduction in the amounts contributed

why Brazil Sold Her Ships.

One of the remarkable phenomena
Of trade at present is reflected by
Brazil's sale of warships to this coun-
try. A careful examination of it
prompts the suggestion that the South
American Republic had fiscal rather
than friendly reasons for disposing of
the vessels. The price of Brazilian
coffee has now fallen lower than it was
ever quoted before. The figure on
regular contract deliveries is five
cents per pound. An immense crop
has been gathered, and this fact is
now bearing the market for the prod
uct all over the world. Brazil, which
collects an export duty upon it, has
actually been put into financial straits
by the reduction in price.
The loss of revenue became so seri-
GUS month ago that reports were in
circulation in London that the in
terest could not be paid on the coun-
try's debt in April. Since the deal
by which the United States takes the
Amazonas and its sister was carried
through the news has come that the
coupons will be taken up. Tho
American money has enabled the ma
ton to make both ends meet. But if
coffee is to continte at five cents what
is Brazil to do?-Providence (R. I.)

1t is significant of the friendly at
titude of the japanese toward the
United States that the commerce of
this country with Japan has grown
more rapidly during the last year than
that of any other nation. The annual
returns of the foreign trade of the
empire just received by the Bureau
of Statistics show that the japanese
bought sixty-five per cent. more goods
of us in 1897 than they did in 1896,
while their total imports from all over
the world show an increase of only
twenty-eight per cent. The total i'm
ports from the United States for 1897
were valued at about $27, 030, 537
against SIG, 373, 419 in 1896. Japan's s
exports to the United States increased
from $31, 532, 81 in 1895 to S52, 1885,
4O4 in 1897. The only countries
which made as large sales to Japan in
1897 as did the United States are
Great Britain, China and British
India, but in no case was the increase
in imports as large as that from this
country.

Nearly every year there is strike
among the women who cultivate the
ricefields in Italy. They have to work
ten hours day, up to their knees in
the malarial swamps, and receive only
twenty cents day. Even this was
reduced lately to fourteen cents, where
upon a general strike followed. New
laborers were at once forthcoming;
this led to acts of violence that landed
420 women in the iails OF Bologna aud
other cities. Under the pressure of
public opinion, tie owners of the
swamp-lands have been compelled to
restore the wages to twenty cents and
reduce the hours from ten to eight.

Probably few people appreciate the
magnitude of the emigration from this
country to Liberia. During the past
five years it is estimated that not less
than 1900 American colored people
have gone to Liberia. They have all
been beiooled, generally by selfish
emigration companies, the New York
Independent announces. Not one can
expect to succeed there who does not
go with plenty of money, SO. that he
can support himself for a while and go
into business on something of large
scale. For the ordinary laborer it is
little less than death. The emigrants
escape as fast as possible to Sierra
Leone, begging for money to come
back to this country. These facts
should be known among the colored

Why is it that some years are so
much more fruitful than others in the
contribution of genius which they
make to the worlds onward march
This question suggests Itself in con-
nection with the death of Mr.. Glad
stone, which has entailed its heritage
of sorrow upon both hemispheres.
Mr.. Gladstone first saw the light of
day in 1909. Strangely enough in
that same year the spirits of several
other illustrious men were quickened
into life, notably Alfred Tennyson,
Charles Darwin, Thomas Carlyle,
Abraham Lincoln, Oliver Wendell
Holmes and Edgar Allan Poe. Can
another year of the worlds history
be cited so prolific in its contributions
of genius? asks the Atlanta Constitu-

The Rubber Tree.

The rubber tree is usually tapped
four times during the first year OF its
maturity, and the intervals of rest
gradually diminished until it can be
tapped monthly. The rubber tree is
the milch COW of the vegetable king
dom; its yield continues to increase
with frequent and skilful milking until
it reaches its maximum. Properly
cared for tree will yield steadily up
to its forteth year; in some instances,
as long as fifty or sixty years. The
yield of gum, as well as the market
price, is variable; but healthy tree
should yield revenue of SIS to $40
per annum.

for there have always been insurgents
in Cuba. But of late years business
has moved to Santiago and other
coast cities, and Santiago now has
about $4,000 inhabitants, while Bay
amo has only 10000. 1t was a law
yer of Bayamo, Charles M. de Ces-
pedes, who, in 1868, at the head of
