A MAN WHO SELLS GLUE.
An Expert Talks Entertainingly OF His
Sole Commodity.

"Glue greets you in your cradle,
and bids you adieu in your coffin,"
remarked Mr.. T. J. Halpin, of st.
Louis. ST don't suppose a tenth Of
the people stop to think how varIously
glue serves them. It's in their hats
and shoes, their carpets and furniture,
their pencils, paper, pastry, confec-
tionery and medicine, on their walls,
in the stiffening of their apparel, and
practically in or on some dozen or
more articles with which they have
daily dealings. Sixty million pounds
of it are used year, the cheapest at
nine cents and the dearest, which is
used in pharmacy and the confection-
cry trade, about ninety cents. Glue
stock is very hard to get now, owing
to a change in the practice Of tanners
since leather went up. Formerly they
trimmed ! off the best hides about
square, giving the glue manufacturers
the entire coverings of legs, tail and
head, but now they sacrifice only smal
pieces about the eyes and q little Of
the head. The result has been an ad-
vance since 1898 from $3.50 to $35 a
ton for the wet glue stock, which
caused an advance of about fifty per
cent. in the manufactured article. The
centre for manufacture of low-grade
glue is Chicago, and for high-grade
Peabody, Mass. In the industries it
is used almost universally. Alcohol,
tnrpentine and coal-oil barrels have to
be sized with it, and wooden boxes
for merchandise, made of small pieces,
are joined with it. while of course it
is used throughout the furniture
trade. Only newspaper printing pa
per is made without some glue. and
any paper that is to be written on
with ink or present smooth finish
has to be treated with it at some stage
in the manufacture, New Orleans

A New Food For Campaie ming.

STEEL WOOL.
A Curious Material That is Used as Sub
stitute For sandpaper.

stitute For sandpaper.
Steel wool, introduced five or six
years ago, is a machine.produced ma
terial that is used as substitute for
sandpaper. 1t is composed of sharp
edged threads of steel, which curl up
together like wool, or somewhat as
the wood fibres of the familiar ma
terial known as excelsior curl up to-
gether, though the steel wool is very
much finer; the finest of it being not
much coarser than the coarsest of
natural wools. The steel wool is put
up in packages containing one pound
each. These are something like rolls
of cotton batting, but smaller, a
pound of steel wool, loosely packed,
making, rolled in paper and open at
the ends, package perhaps fifteen
inches long and two or three inches
in diameter.
Made in various degrees of coarse
ness, steel wool is put to variety of
uses, the finer woods for polishing
wood and metal, and the coarser for
rubbing down paint and varnish. 1t
is often used on special parts of work,
while, for example,. on the fiat sur
faces Of door a man would use sand.
paper with block back of it; for the
mouldings he would use steel wool,
which fits into the crevices and con-
forms itself to irregular shapes. Such
work can be done with steel wool far
more readily and quickly than with
sandpaper; and it is used with like
advantage on irregular and small sur
faces and on carved work.
Besides the steel wool there is a
coarser material of the same kind
called steel shavings, which is put to
various uses; as in taking off old paint
or varnish, and in polishing wood be.
fore painting and it is used on bowl
ing alleys and on floors for smoothing
and cleaning them.
Sandpaper clogs il use, steel wool
breaks down. The wool is commonly
used with gloves to keep the ends
from sticking into the fingers. New

Tricks of the Egg Trade.

There is a man who sells eggs in
Havana. Cuba, carrying them around
in basket. He has shrewd eye for
the main chance, as is shown in the
way he discriminates between fresh
eggs and old ones. He has two OF
three paper bags filed with eggs,
which he tells his customers are the
fresh ones, and, consequently, more
expensive. Taking his word as the
truth, the customer pays the advance
price, empties the eggs into a pan, and
returns the bag to the egg man, who
Immediately reflls the bag from the
loose eggs and goes on his way to re-
peat the deception at the next house.

Situation in south Africa.

London, June 25.-Great Britain's army
in South Africa is slowly accomplishing
the work of pacification. The smouldering
embers of what once was fierce resistance
occasionally flare up, but the hard fighting
seems to be practically over. The British
military progress in the Transvaal Is
scarcely more interesting now than the
events in the Orange River Colony during
the last two months. The Transvaal an
nexation is soon expected.
The Beers are rapidly realizing the fu-
tility OF further struggle when opposed
to such an overwhelming force.
One of the most noticeable features OF
the week in South Africa was Lord Rob-
erts' abandonment of humane measures
toward the Beers, which he had so long
persisted in, despite the criticism of the
British colonists and many officers. The
stern vengeance that now will be visited
not only on those who give the Beers
passive assistance, but on those who after
surrendering fail to assist the British
arms, savors more of General Kitchener
than of "Bobs."
Kumassi still awaits relief. Governor
Hodgson is expected to hold out, but even
after the siege ends little can be done to
subdue the natives until the rains are
over. In December a punitive expedition
with corps of white troops will probably
be sent. The mortality among the Off
GERS of Colonel Willcock's staff shows
how useless it would be to send many
white troops until then.
