The Loader Among Copper prodacers.

There has recently been published in
Germany ar interesting book entitled
"A Century of Copper" which shows
that the United States now furnishes
more than half of all the copper used
In the world. While the production
has increased with great rapidlty in
other countries,in none has the cop
per industry developed so rapidly as
in the United States. In 1880 the total
value of copper manufactured was only
s2,349, 1892; in 1899 It hGG increased to
S35, ,OS3,529. In 1890 we exported 20,-
237 ,4O9 pounds to foreign countries
IN 1899 we exported 254,9S7, ,1G4 pounds

There is at least one lady in Ken
wood who believes thoroughly in the
efficacy of prayer About year ago
her husband engaged in business
venture that looked rather uncertain.
But his wife had strong faith that ii
would turn out well. Go ahead, John, -
she said. "and let us put our trust
in the Lord. | pray every night that
we may have no reason to regret the
risk we are taking" The affair seem
ed to turn out pretty well right from
the start. Handsome dividends were
paid all through the summer and dur
ing the winter and great joy was in
the home of this man and the sharer
of his fortunes. But there came .
turn about a month ago. The bust
ness ceased to pay, and since then the
losses have been increasing every day.
Nothing was said about it at the fire.
side around which so much happiness
had centered during the past year
until the other day, when 1t was sug-
gested by the husband that it would
be well to cut down expenses. Ques-
tions followed, as a matter OF course,
and then it had to be confessed that
the business was not going well.
Dear mel" exclaimed the distressed
lady, when all the truth had been re-
vealed to her, Il must begin praying
again tonight"

A New AIIy,

A possible new ally in the campaign
for good rural roads may be the coun.
try church. Just how IL should be in.
terested in the matter was pointed ont
recently by the Rev. II. II. Hughes, of
Norwich Corners, n. Y. He is con.
nected with n church located in n dis.
tinctively rural neighborhood, where
only few houses can be seen from
the church portlco. His experience
has shown him that bad roads are n
serious drawback to country churches
and their work, Even on so important
an errand as attending church persons
will not plow through miles of mud
Very properly the Norwich Corners
clergyman sees a close connection be
tween good roads and church advance
menr and he Is expected to preach oc
casionally the doctrine of improved
highways. If other clergymen in rural
churches will do likewise strong
force will be arrayeG on the si11 of
better roads, and that, tco, in sections
where there Is reed of educating pub
lie sentiment on this question. Such
work by the rural clergy would make
for practical Christianity as well as
for political economy.-New York Post

crate large livery and undertaking
business at 1113, 1115 and 1117 West
Locust street, are waking up the
trust undertakers of the city in u
lively manner. 1t can hardly be said
they are offering inducements to peo-
pie to die, but, those who are COM
PEELED to patronize the undertaken
it is consoling that they are not met
with exorbitant charges for every,
item conencted with the services of
such undertaken. 1t will be noticed
in the advertisement that this firm
furnishes free hearse, five free hacks
and the services of the undertaken is
also free. They guarantee that the
price of caskets will at all times be
as reasonable as the same can be
bought at any other place in the city.
People who have had the sad expert
ence of funerals know something of
the rate OF charges that has pre-
vailed here. They can not help but
feel that the firm of Porter & Tetley
is doing the fair thing by the public.
Iney are both fine gentlemen to
met. Give them q call. s~,f ,'.
