 menced making iron today after being out

 two furnaces put in blast this month.

How Chinese Use Bibles.

"A few years ago." said Chicago clergyman the other day, "there went up great cry for missionelly bibles in the Flowery Kingdom. The Bible Society was extremely gratified. The demand was unprecedented, and thou sands of dollars were spent in sending them nice red morocco testaments. This sort of thing went on for long time, but the number of native con- verts did not increase accordingly. The missionaries investigated. What do you suppose they discOvered?" "That they used the bibles for gunwadding?"
 "No. They made firecrackers of lem. Practically all the nicely printed bibles that we were sending over there were rolled up in nice little rolls, page at a time, and made into frecrackers. Chinese make Hrecrackers at home for an incredibly low price, and the paper they were getting free cut q consid- erable figure with them. But 1t taught us Celestial lesson, as I might say"

ARIZONA is a prolific field for many things and in many lines, but in the line of newspapers it seems to excel. There are more newspapers in Arizona according to the population than in any state or territory, and they are increas- ing at the rate of two day. Iowa has long held the lead as to the number of newspapers according to inhabitants, but the good old state must take back seat for Arizona. Iowa has one news- paper for every l2,OOO people, or did have according to last reports. Arizona has paper for every 2,OOO people. This shows one of two things, either that the people of Arizona are more intelligent and demand more literature such as newspapers afford or that there are more men in Arizona per capita that are willing to sacrifice their time and ability for the enlightenment of their fellow citizens than in any country on earth. It is a good sign of progress and striking illustra tion of philan- thropy when men are willing to devote their time, energy and ability to diff fusing knowledge for the benefit of their fellow men, without hope of re- ward, except miserable existence, which is all that most of them get.- Gazette,
