HOW TO CARE FOR UMBRELLAS.
Hints from Manufacturer Which May
PrOlong Their Usefulness.

Hints from Manufacturer Which May
PrOIOng Their Usefulness.
Manufacturers and jobbers Of um.
brellas say that there were more UNI
brellas sold during the past year than
for the past five years. Especially is
this true in Baltimore of the finer
grades of goods, for which the demand
has been unusually great. Retailers did
a remarkably large holiday trade, and,
of course, the manufacturers and job
bers profted by 1t.
While Baltimore does not rank high
as a manufacturing center for um-
brellas in point of numbers, its reputa-
ton depends on the fine quality OF
goods made up in this city. 1t Is esti-
mated that over 500 hands are steadily
engaged In the manufacture Of umbrel-
las in Baltimore, and that an average
of 5000 complete umbrellas are turned
out every week. During some seasons
the figures are greater or less, but that
Is the average production.
Like many other articles of manu-
facture, the making of umbrellas has
been reduced to the assembling of the
parts and turning out the complete
shelter from the rain. One firm makes
the stel tubing which nowadays forms
the "stick" of the umbrellas, another
turns out the ribs, another the various
fancy handles and so on through the
list. Silks and other materials for the
covers are cut and sewed in the fac
tory, where the other parts are brought
by the thousand and put together. To
such degree of perfection has the
machinery been brought for making the
various parts of an umbrella that it Is
said that it is actually cheaper to make
new umbrella than to repair an old
one. That is to say, that in the time
taken by workman to repair an um-
brella' he can turn out probably half a
dozen new ones complete.
Recent sales show that while Balti-
moreans prefer the better qualities Of
silk covering for umbrellas, they favor
natural wood handles or those tipped
with pearl for ladies' umbrellas. For
men the demand is for the combina-
tions in ivory handles, next to the natu-
raj wood sticks and the silver mounted
wood handles.
A manufacturer gives three points
about the care of umbrellas which will
tend to their lasting longer while in SER
vice. In the first place an umbrella
should not be tightly rolled and then
put in close cover unless it is desired
to have the silk cut to pieces in every
fold. Even when lying In stock it is
said that tightly rolled silk umbrellas
will cut out in few weeks. The other
precaution is to open an umbrella when
it has been wet and let dry while spread
open. This will prevent the water
gathering in the folds and rotting the
fabric which forms the covering Bal
timore Sun.

we copy this incident from the Chicago
Post:
The bicyclist was scorching along
with his head down.
The little one had toddled ont into
the road, and stood directly in his path.
The woman saw them both, and was
too much frightened to move. A quick
wltted man would have had time to
spring into the road and pull the little
one out of the way, but the woman
seemed helpless.
Suddenly she screamed. 1t was no
ordinary scream, but an ear-spntting
shrek of despair.
The bieyclist was so startled that he
looked seven ways at once, lost control
OF his wheel, hit the curb, and didn't
know where h. was for fully ten min
utes.

BRADsTREET's REPORT.
General Trade Distribution Has shown
| Tendency to Expand.


Tendency to Expand.
Bradstreet's says:
Relieved from the hampering effects
Of stormy weather, general trade distri-
button has shown a tendency to expand
this week, prices OF many staples are
firmer and higher, and generally there
is better tone than noted for some
weeks. Easily holding first rank in
the matter Of speculative activity, cot
ton early in the week touched the high
est level, not only for the present sea-
son, but for at least SIX years past.
Wool is rather weaker, following the
drop in prices at the London sale, and
the rather slower demand from Ameri-
can manufacturers.
BY another of the short swings which
have distinguished wheat prices for u
long time past, quotations have been
advanced this week to the level touched
some time ago.
Boot and shoe manufacturers are
actively employed, and leather is firm,
but hides are weaker or lower at most
markets.
Building materials are firm, except
ut cities where labor troubles are ap'
pretended.
The industrial situation is rather
irregular, owing partly to the com
bined strike and lockout of 10000
building hands, building material
workers and machinists at Chicago
and partly to isolated strikes of small
numbers OF men throughout the
country.
Wheat, including flour, shipments
for the week aggregate 4.208,75 bush
els, against 3,863, 387 bushels last
week, 4,398,82l bushels the CORE
spending week of 1899, and 4,844, ,761
bushels in 1898.

THE DEATH RECORD.



correspondent at Joppa, Nd, sends the
following: mfr. Henry kennard, who died
at Waverley, September 25th, and whose death
was mentioned in THE UNION few weeks ago,
was an almost lifelong resident of the old
kennard homestead, near Upper Falls. Balti-
more county. This faithful Christian laborer
is at rest. The hands that we're always finding
something good to do, and doing il with all
their might, have relaxed their earthly grasp
and are now restfully folded beneath the coffin
lid. His record is in Heaven. His work done
and well done, a halo fingers along the scenes
of its consecrated activities. AS in the case of
every true toiler for God and humanity, the
world seems to be brighter and better because
he lived in it. He was a member of Salem
Church and superintendent of the Sabbath
school for number of years, and in this sphere
be added much to the sum of human happi-
ness. The impress of noble life in this very
church, where, in imitation of his Master,
Brother Kennard went about doing good"
Therefore we cannot let him die and pass out
of our midst without yielding the tribute of
sincere sorrow; nor can we contemplate the
scenes upon which be entered, after his exit
from ours, without following his ascent with
of joy. Thus sorrowful in our
bereavement, and exultantin his triumph, we,
the members of Salem Church, gather an
imaginary group around our fellow-laborer's
grave, and deck it with the immortelles of
loving remembrance.
/ "Life's race we'll run,
Life's work well done,
LIES crown we'll won,
Now comes rest"
