MANY MILLIONS ARE MADE.
merica Supplies Lamp Chimneys TO
Nearly All the World.

Nearly All the World.
"The lamp chimney" said a man ac-
quainted with the trade, seems a sim
pie sort of thing. but there are not
many things of more common use the
world over, and In the aggregate the
number sold Is enormous. In this eoun-
try there are 1900 men and boys EN-
ployed in making lamp chimneys,
and the chlmneys produced number
millions annually. The greater num-
Der are now made west of the Ale
gheny mountains In Pennsylvania,
Ohio and Indiana, where the majority
of the glass works of the country are
located. many of them in the natural
gas regions
The first glass works In the coun-
try was established in Boston and Tor
merly the glass-making industry was
principally In the East. Now there are
not nearly SO many glass factories mere
as there once were.
"One not familiar with the business
might be surprised with the great va
rlety In Will, h lamp ehimneys are
made. Lamps are made In these days
in very great variety by many makers
and of course there are made chimneys
suitable for all of them. There Is one
American lamp chimney maker VINO,
counting sizes and styles, produces ooo
varieties. Among the great variety OF
chlmneys made there are some that are
of common use everywhere and then
there are some that are specially suited
to demands in this or that part OF the
country and are not In demand In other
parts.
Lamp chimneys are not only made
In far greater variety than formerly, to
fit perfectly every sort OF lamp, but
they are also made better than ever.
In fact, lamp ehlmneys have advanced
with everything else. But enormous
and increasing as the production Is, the
demand scarcely keeps pace with the
Increase in the population, this being
especially true In cities where gas ls
more and more used, and here in New
York, for instance, by users through
slot gas machines, which have some
influence OH the sale of lamp chimneys.
Still the number of lamps used here Is
enormous. There are plenty OF peo-
pie burning gas, for instance, who have
as well three or four lamps, and the
number of people here who use lamps
alone for the purpose of illumination
is very great There are used In New
York and Its vicinity millions of lamp
chimneys annually.
I'VE import a few lamp chimneys of
the cheapest and of the best grades,
the cheap chimney from Germany and
the eostller from France, but these I'm
ports cut only a small figure in the to-
tai consumption and we export lamp
chimneys In great quantities. We send
very few to Europe. though We do sell
them some of our best chimneys. But
outside OF Europe we sell lamp chin
neys everywhere We come into COM
petition In some parts Of the world with
the Germans, who make chimneys very
cheaply, but our exports are increasing
and we send chimneys. as l said, ey-
erywhere: to Mexico, the West Indies,
South Africa, China. In fact to all lands
to which lamps are used, all around the
earth. New York Sun.

The Elderly Aunt from the Country

When the elderly aunt was here she
was invited out to dinner with the fam

verbal Yankee cheese, but by way of
comparison, her bump of inquisidye-
ness Is as large as the new county

little private talk with her, says the

matically, ut Is different In the city.

One Journalist who is an expert In
nracfIcal psychology walked couple
of squares with member of the cabi-
net trying to elicit an expression OF
opinion on certain matter OF moment.
The secretary's lips were as firmly
closed as the shells Of bingham quo
haug at low water so far as the desired
last word" was concerned or even
hint of the situation. He was not so
completely self contained, however,
that his actions and manner were in
serutable. The reporter hazarded
guess founded on his impressions and
wired the result to his paper. The next
day the secretary met him and said:
How did you get that information,
Mr.. --T'
"From you, SIR" said the reporter,
smiling.
"From me, sIr? said the secretary

things, anyhow. Still, think I'll have
to take course of congressional poker
playing until can disguise my

"And how do you do it?'
"Why, you read their hands by re-
verslng their expression. The man who

A SONG OF LOVES COMING.

Love comes with silent feet
Out OF the mist Of dreams.
With roses is he crowned,
He bears a sword that gleama
Love comes with a red rose crown
To where the sleeper lies,
And ON the fast closed eyes
The red rose leaves drift down
They touch the sleeper's lips,
And, sleeping still, he signs.
They fall upon his heart; he wakes
And looks into Loves eyes.
Oh, waking bitter sweet
OF mingled JOY and paint
Turn, dreamer, ere that Love can speak
And close thine eyes again.
He never more may sleep
Who hears the magic word.
For Love that Is with roses crowned
Is girded with a sword
