LABOR AND INDUSTRY.

900. '
About $4,000, 900 worth of rubber was ex-
ported from Brazil last year.
During the present year over 500, 900. con
has been invested in the zinc and lead
mines of Missouri.
1t is said that labor will be represented in
the next Ohio legislature by twenty-three
farmers, a puddler, molder, engineer, metal
poIiSher, miner and a carpenter.
Cooperative factories in Great Britain
last year made profits aggregating over
1900. This is more than 10 per cent on The
Investment. ~
Large quantities of Alabama coal are stiu
being shipped down the Mississippi river for
points in LOUISIANA and lower Mississippi,
more especially to New Orleans. The traf-
nc bids fair to be maintained through the
winter.
The annual report of Factory Inspector
James Campbell of Pennsylvania for the
IscaI year ended october 81. 1899, shows
that there were 1920 more persons EN-
pIoyed IN the manufacturing establishment
under the supervision of the factory in
sbect9r IN lSS9 than 1898. Mr. Campbell says
would be greater.

CUEAN CLIMATE CunIosIrIEs.
The Way Natives Plant Fences and
SOInicrA DInmI Inllc.

SoiustFs tlnht rabies.
Some odd things happen In Cuba. A man
wishes a fence around hiS yard or field; he
doesn't build it, he plants lt-and it grows,
too. First he cuts a great bundle of pinon
twigs, then he scratches a little trench where
he wants his fence to run and finally he
sticks in the twigs in a row a few Inches
apart, The soil of Cuba is so rich and the
weather so warm and moist that directly
the twigs take root, throw out branches and
leaves and presently there is a dense hedge
Of pinon trees enclosing the field. And there
are no nails to drop cut here nor boards to
fall down and let in the cattle and the
fence is good for a hundred years.
N-r IS that the most curious thing that
one may see IN Cuba. What would you
think Of a camp table that grew? While the
American soldiers were camped back of san
tiago they made great numbers of little
tables by driving forked sticks in the ground
for legs and using a top Of boards. OF course
the legs took root and SONS OF these tables
are now nicely shaded by leafy branches
and in two or three years four nice trees
will be growing there and no one would
ever dream that they once were table legs.
Another curious thing Al guantanamo l
once saw an cid tin can fastened around
the branch OF a big Cuban laurel tree some
four or five feet from its leafy end. 1t was
packed full of earth and wondered what
could be the purpose OF it,
That's simple enough said the Cuban
householder I'm a few weeks roots will
grow in the earth inside the tin can. Then
we can cut off tho limb Just back Of the
can, stick it in the ground, take away the
can and it will grow into a large tree

you'd better cut an account Of the who e

HEEL KNOW SENT THEM.
Tribute Which n Tiny Lad Paid Vice
President Hobart.


\ friend of the family of the late Vice
President Hobart, who has but recently re-
turned from the funeral of that distinguished
gentleman, tells of a pathetic incident that
came to her notice a short while before the
funeral took place.
Tho day following the vice presidents
DEATH she relates, "as | was entering the
house OF MORNINGS | heard a low, wailing
moan. | looked to see whence it came. My
eyes fell upon the tear-stained, anguishcd
face of a little boy about : years of age.
He seemed startled when looked down
upon him, and whispered hastily:
u didn't mean to make a noise. I'll
keep awfu still if they'll jus let me stay
here. You see, he was good to ME and my
mother when she was sick. Now he's dead
and she'll die, too, for there's NOBODY to
care for us now
Was he very good to you, my boy?' 1
asked. The fearful lads answer was:
He was good to lots of boys, but to me
and mother in particular. You see. fathers
been dead a long time, and mothers too sick
to work aud but for MIR. Hobart we would

Rawson Mawson thought it would take all
OF fifty, but VIII Bill thought forty-Gve
would do it.
We'll, If the governor sends me enough
next week, I'm going to ship some,' said
Roderick.
He went into the house Just then after
something and the boys exploded with m,rth.
The idea of sending snow to the south and
expecting it TO stay put was delightful.
His father has oceans OF money" said
VIII Bill. Say, we don't tell him that snow
melts and then wait until his folks wr.,e
up and ask him what he means by sending
a lot of damp cars down there with nothing
in 'em. or course the waterll all run
out"
This somewhat mean scheme appealed to
all the boys who did not see its mean side,
and so when Rod came out again they tcli
him he could count on their aid.
So he wrote to his brother; Dear Fred

And he sobbed as though his heart would

Then the little fellow lifted his eyes to
