GETTING GAIN.
Richmond Times.l

Richmond Times.
We print elsewhere a communication
from an esteemed correspondent who COM
plains that this is an age of ''greed and
GAIN" both as to individuals and corpo-
rations. That is quite true, but not pecu-
liarly true of this age. Man is not more
greedy in 1899 than he was when Jacob
swindled his brother out of his birthright.
In all ages and among all nations and
tribes there has been the same desire to
get gain, and some have prospered at the
expense of others. There are greater pos
sibilities in this day, the field is broader,
and the opportunity to get rich is to more
men than ever before. But the desiie for
gain is not greater than in days that are
past. Indeed, there never was an age so
generous as that in which we live. Money
was never put to such good uses, there
never was an age 10 which charity was
disbused with such lavish hand.
We hear great deal about the extrava-
gance of government, about the pomp and
splendor of millionaires. But if our cor.
respondent read the text of the Sunday
school lesson last Sunday he must have
been impressed with the extravaganza OF
the King Ahasuerus, who gave feast to
the nobility and afterwards feast lasting
week to the people at large, and he
must have noted that Prince Hannah offer
ed to pay the King in silver money sum
equal to sixteen million dollars in United
States currency for the privilege of putting
whole nation to death.
This is not bad age 1t is the best age
the world ever knew. There are more
millionaires than ever, but there are also
many more men in moderate circun-
stances, and comparatively speaking, few
err paupers. We hear great deal about
the hard lot of the plain people, but when
were the PLAIN people so well to dot
When did they have so many privileges,
when did they enjoy ST. many comforts
and luxuries of life? There is not day in
the year when the plain people of Ameri'
ca do not enjoy, if they will, morel uxur'
ious feast than that which King Ahasue'
rus gave to his subjects. Every American
citizen is sovereign, and is dependent
upon no kings bounty for his feast.
AS for greed, it is vice, and it is send
ing many a man to his doom. But the
desire to get gain is not in itself wrong
1t is in Gods providence, the incentive tc
action. If man did not desire to improve
his condition, to Gutstrip bis neighbor, tc
get riches and honor, there would be nc
enterprise and no great achievements
The whole world would soon be consumed
of dry rot, and man would descend to the
level of the brute. Have dominion is
divine decree, and that is the genesis O
rivalry.

During the winter of 1897 Mr.. James
Reed, one of the leading citizens and ner-
chants of Clay, Clay Co., w. Va, struck
his leg against a cake of ice in such man
ner as to bruise it severely. 1t became
very much swollen and panied him SO
badly that he could not walk without the
aid of crutches. He was treated by ply
sicians, also used several kinds of liniment
and two and half gallons of whisky in
bathing 1t, but nothing gave any relief
until be began using Chamberlain's Pain
Balm. This brought almost complete
cure in a weeks time and he believes that
had he not used this remedy his leg would
have had to be amputated. Pam Balm is
unequaled for sprains, bruises and rheu-
matism. For sale by JNo. Z. JACKSON.

At the reunion of the Southern Illinois
Reunion association here to day, General
John G, Black, who was pension commits
sioner under President Cleveland, caused
unprecedented enthusiasm by declarations
in favor of expansion. General Black de.
clared that be was an expansonist from
the crown of his head to the sole Of his
feet. He wanted his position thoroughly
understood. General Black referred to
Senators Mason and Hoar and Aguinaldo
in the most sarcastic terms. He said they
might as we'll say to the ocean tide to cease
its flow as to try to stop the tide of expan-
sion. He declared he was but following
in the footsteps of Jackson and Jefferson
in favoring expansion.

BooKMAKING IN AMERICA.
New York Issues More Books Than
All the Rest of the Country
Combined.

On an average 100000 books are
printed in Germany every year, and
100000 of these, it is computed, are
exported to other countries. Leipsic
has been for many years the recog-
nized book city of Germany. No other
European city, not q capital, occupies
a position equally prominent, not
withstanding the fact that the total
consumption of paper in Germany for
book-making is materially less than in
Great Britain at present. In the United
States and Canada there is no recog-
nized book city, though recently To-
ronto has asserted its right to be ac-
cepted as the Leipsic of Canada. Near
" S2,OO0,000 is said to be invested in
that city and its neighborhood in pa
permaking, printing and bookbinding
trades. Large as these figures may be
for Canada, they do not seem to be
of very much account when brought
into comparison with statistics OF
some American cities, especially New
York, Philadelphia and Chicago. Chi
cago has now $25,OOO,OOO invested in
book and paper publishing, and in some
lines may be said to have almost mo-
nopoly, particularly in printing rail-
road time tables, railroad maps and in
some branches of commercial printing
Philadelphia has a large retail book
trade, especially in cheap editions of the
standard works which are sent to the
south and west. Two other American
cities having large business in book
making, though in different branches
of trade, are Boston and st. Louis. The
books published in Boston are for the
most part either expensive standard
works or those having permanent value
for reference, whereas the books pub
lished in st. Louis include consider
able number in the German language
Washington as the canital city is the
seat of the government printing house
the publications of which are both eX-
tensive and continuous, and more than
5000 persons, a majority of them in the
government service, are employed in
bookmaking and bookbinding in that
city despite the fact that in proper,
ton to its population no city of the
country has smaller number of news
papers, and usually the number of pa
pers issued in a city is a guide to the
volume of bool1-making done in it.
New York exceeds all other Amer
lean cities Canada included) in the vol
ume of its bookmaling and bookbind'
ing trade, and the publishers of this
city now issue more books yearly than
are published in all the rest Of the coun'
try combined. There are 40 leading
publishing concerns, and others of les:
Importance. In another particular
also, New York can securely assert its
right to be regarded as the Leipsic Of
America, for it is the city into which
are imported and from which are ex
ported the greatest number of books

Senator Jones, of Arkansas, who return
ed from Europe on Sunday, and reported
that, during his travels on the other side
of the ocean the last few months, he had
'not been able to see that there is any
great material prosperity among the agrl-
cultural and similar classes" in the United
States, must be interested in the reports
as to traffic on transportation lines
throughout the country. Not only have
the railroads been doing an enormous
business for months, but there is now
such car-famine as was never before
known. The leading companies cannot
"beg, borrow, or steal' cars enough to
carry the freight which is thrust upon
them, and shippers are ready to pay high
er rates if they can only have their freight
moved. There is like scarcity of boats
on the Great Lakes, as the boom in iron
has caused an unprecedented demand for
the carriage of iron ore by water, and the
steamers have little room left for grain and
provisions. A prominent railroad man is
quoted as saying that there is now enough
business in sight to keep every railroad
car busy for months to come. MIR. Jones
will soon find that the country is prosper
Gus, and that all classes are sharing in its
prosperity.

Virglnia, that is to utilize the living ne

them to become candidates for Governor

Unexpected success has followed
the opening in Philadelphia of a
children's branch of the public library.
1t is the first library of the kind in
the city, and the children have availed
themselves eagerly of the opportuni-
ties it offers. Although it has been in
existence only three months, there
are about 2, 400 names registered on
its books as regular readers. "With
clean hands and clean face" is the
only rule of the place, besides that of
orderly silence. During the whole
time OF its existence no child has had
to be sent out of the library for
misconduct. Even on rainy days, when
the place is crowded, order and
silence always prevail. The little folk
come in and are allowed to go straight
to the shelves in search of reading
matter. Each child is allowed to take
out two books at time, one of them
fiction and the other instructive. On
the average, the child readers are
about IA years old, and the boys out
number the girls nearly four to one.
History is the favorite literature for
the boys, while the girls revel in fc-
tion. 1t is said by the library people,
to the credit of the children and the
shame OF their elders, that the pro-
portion Of instructive books taken out
by the little ones is far in advance OF
those perased w older card holders.

Boys Box Rcefcr.

The popular school coat for boy
is the box REFER of style similar to
the one shown in the large engraving.
After twelve or thirteen years Of
age, boys more frequently wear
trousers than knickerbockers, except,
of course, when cycling. In England
they give up the form earlier, or, at
any rate. the knickers are worn with
stockings. A boy of from eight to ten
years of age, clad in short knickers
and socks, such as one continually
sees here, would be the laughing
stock of his comrades on the other
side OF the channel.
A sailor costume with long trousers
and Jersey may at pinch form part

teen to fourteen years of age, espe.
cially in the country or at the seaside.
But the dress just described, short
jacket and knickers of drab or gray,

Lady Georgina Vernon, daughter of
the tenth Earl of Haddington, is we'll
known as an authority on dairying as
an occupation for women. She spent
some time in Normandy studying into
French methods in cheese-making.
She strongly urges the practicability
of dairying for women as self-sup-
porting industry, but says that cheese
would be the most profitable branch
Of the work. Most of the bad butter,
she claims, comes from small dairies
with only two or three COWS. 1t is to

gestions, going into the manufacture
OF some of the more delicate cheeses.
