en- manufactures during the last few
years. due to the beneficial effects of
the Dingley tariff law. Our imports
of wooden manufactures are now less
than one-third the value Of those Of
1895. while during the last ten years
the exports of WOODEN manufactures
have more than trebled.
During the eight months ending on
Aug. 81, 1900, the imports of WOODEN
manufactures amounted to $12,OS4,928,
against $4O,667, O44 in 1896, and $780,
544.O94 in 1896.
The average annual importations OF
wooden manufactures, during the de-
cade from 1890 to 1900, has been $780,
100000, the high water mark having
been reached in 1895, when the total
was $4O,667, O44. During that and the
succeeding two years the importations
were heavy, averaging nearly $780,
100000 for the eight months period OF
each year, but since that time the i'm
portations have constantly decreased,
until in the years 1898, 1899 and 1900
they reached their lowest leveE averag-
ing during the eight months of each
year only about 100000. 1%
On the other hand the exports OF
wooden manufactures have slowly but
steadily increased, advancing from
$26S, 900 in 1890, $47O,725 in 1895, $614,

REJUVENATING BOOKS.

How to Restore Gloss to Bindings.
Removing Ink and Grease.
One cardinal rule to keep in mind Is
never to try experiments with valuable
works. Try new methods Of restosa-
ton on comparatively worthless books.
For book buildings which have lost
their gloss preparation is made as
follows: Take powdered gum copal,
add to it oil of rosemary sufficient to
form solution. Pour off the superflu-
Gus liquid and mix the remainder with
sufficient alcohol to dissolve it well. In
making take only enough oil to cover
the copal and of alcohol about eight
parts to the whole.
n fresh ink spot can be easily remov-
ed from printed page by rubbing it
with finely pulverized mixture of
saltpeter, sulphur, alum and powdered
pumice. II the spot is an old one,
moisten it first with little water.
Heat an iron and hold it us near as
possible to q grease spot without dis
eoloring the paper, when the grease or
wax will disappear. Upon any traces
that are left put on powdered calcined
magnesia for time. Bone we'll cal
cined and powdered is an excellent alb
sorbent of grease, also plaster of paris.
For extracting spots Of rcsinous na-
ture use cologne, turpentine or benzine.
A. beautifully bound book and quite
new had oil from a lamp spilled over it.
The culprit called for quicklime, but
there was none to be had. So he got
some bones, which he quickly calcined
and pulverized and applied. The next
morning there was no trace Of oil, but
only IN odor, which soon vanished.
When book is dogeared or its leaves
have been turned, II the paper is not
too stiff there is a chance of restoring
them. Dampen the leaves one by one
with water in which little gum traga-
canth has been dissolved. This is not
so much an adhesive as stiffener and
is used as such for laces. Then fiat
ten the leaves, putting piece Of
smooth white paper between. every
leaf.
If there is any trace Of dampness in a
library or books begin to show mold,
place a pan of quicklime near the
shelves. This Is better than stove to
dry the air. When Stacked, it must be
thrown away and new lot procured.

BARNS at her side. what Of her? The
tenderest sympathies Of her life are
touched and respond with acutest suf-
fering when her children cry for bread
and there Is none wherewith to still
their cry. She must suffer in silence
and satisfy them as best she can.
While her good man Is away attending
to the active affairs of the strike, upon
her falls the burden, far more heavy,
of steeling her heart to support him
when he returns with fair words of en-
enlargement and sympathy-this when
her heart is crying aloud within her for
the ending of the trouble. The women
are really the leaders Of the strikers.
If they withhold from the men their
sympathy and support, no strike can
succeed.
Herein lies the crux Of the matter.
With only themselves to care for, the
strikers might hold out for an indefinite
length of time. But can they bear to
see the suffering in the eyes Of their
patient wives and children? Can their
hearts be sustained to the point of Sec
ing a strike to It's bitter end when
they know that the suffering they en-
dure entails tenfold degree Of hard

them? For the sake Of these innocent
ones. whose lives ut even the best Of
times are filled with anxiety and toll,
the harmonious adjustment Of the diff
culties between employee and the en-
ployer is ardently to be desired.
