THE OLD FASHIONED BOY.

Oh, for q glimpse OF a natural boy
a boy with treckled face,
With forehead white meath tangled hair
And limbs devoid Of grace
Whose feet toe In, while his elbows fare;
Whose knees are patched all ways;
Who turns as red as a lobster when
You give him a word OF praise;
A boy who's born with an appetite,
Who seeks the pantry shelf
To eat his 'tpiece" with resounding smack,
Who isn't gone on himself;
A Robinson Crusoe'' reading 10y, =
Whose pockets bulge with trash,
Who knows the use Of rod and gun
And where the brook trout splash.
It's Lue he'll sit in the easiest chair
With his hat on his tousled head;
That his hands and feet are everywhere,
For youth must have room to spread,
/. But he doesn't dub his father ''old man"
Nor deny his mothers call
Nor ridicule what his elders say
Or think that he knows it all. w.
A rough and wholesome natural boy
OF a good old fashioned clay
God bless him, If he's still on earth,
For he'll make a man some day!

AMERICAS COMMERCIAL SU-
PREMACY.

The marvellous Industrial develop
ment of the United States in recent
years is not thoroughly appreciated by
the average American so well as by
Europeans, upon whom presses with
Irresistible force the expansion of our
foreign commerce-as evidenced by
the European press clamoring for pro
lection against the invasion OF even
their home markets by American man
ufactures and for combination tariff
walls against us. Recent figures, pub
lished by the treasury department ait
Washington, giving coal produc-
ton during the past fifteen years are
as surprising Is they are gratifying,
and coal is the very soul of industrial
life. The United States, in 1886, pro-
duced 1OO,664,O0O tons of coal and in
1900 the production was 245,422,00O.
tons, an increase Of very nearly $50
per cent in fifteen years, while Great
Britain increased her coal output,
during the same period, only about so.
per cent-from 157, 900 tons in 1886
to 2255,1s1, 600 tons in 1900. The fore
going figures r their own eloquent
heralds.
lin this connection General w. d.
aW!ashburn, who is in London, on his
way from Europe to the United States,
says Of the panic among European
traders and manufacturers over the
sweep of American trade: 1900.
They perceive that they are just
getting ready and in no respect is it
likely they can beat us in the future.
How long IAN Europe stand to pay a
balance Of trade of six hundred and
fifty million dollars a year after all our
securities r sent back? Some able
continental observers ito whom / put
the Inquiry were unable to answer.
They fear us"
Commenting on the fantastic idea OF
9 a commercial bond OF the European
nations against the United States, the
Outlook says: %s
Zone might as well try to hang a
Venetian blind over the sun as to try
t exclude the influence OF American
Industries from the world. For one
thing, Great Britain would be nc party
TO the bond. For another, the power
81 american reprisals would be ter
rfble. Even now Germany is on the
verge OF a struggle between classes,
caused by the proposed tariff. Under
the German tariff Austria would suffer
grIleVously. 1t is not easy to see how
countries which Z at issue with
themselves and each other and whose
fiscal arrangements excite class against
class "a could agree on policy against
q commercial competitor"

The Harvest Bell.

A quaint but dying custom dating from the middle ages, and which still obtains in few country parishes, is that of ringing the harvest bell morn inc and evening. The time varies in different localities. For instance, at Driffield, in Yorkshire, the bell rings at five in the morning, while at Willing ham, in Cambridges eshire, it rings at seven; and the times too, vary in the evening. Authorities differ as to the origin of the custom, some antiquaries holding that the morning and evening prayers in the Roman church were held earlier and later in the har- vest time, hence the gleaners' bell. Others maintain the use of the bell is that all gleaners may have fair start, no one being allowed in the fields be- fore or after bell-ringing; in fact, that the custom is similar to the signal given to the collectors of vraick in the Channel islands, custom sanctioned there by an old Norman law. The ringers were formerly paid by DOT tion of corn from each crop, but pay ment is now usually made by money. London Chronicle.

CRISIS IN GERMANY.
Now Going Through Saddest Economic
 Experience in It's History.

Germany is undoubtedly going through it's saddest economic ex- perience since the empire was found- ed, says the Berlin correspondent of the New York Journal of Commerce. The well-grounded pRide with which German business men have hitherto contemplated their excellent reputa- tion abroad for commercial honor has suffered a most severe blow The Frankfurter Zeitung admits i'll re- cent market review that in no sim liar period of business depression in Germany have so many cases of dis graceful frauds and common swind- ling' been exposed. However, it is felt here that the sensational char acter of many of the disasters of the past year have given foreign observ- CTS an exaggerated impression of the state of things prevailing in Ger many; not only that these disasters have created a false view as to the average of German business integri- ty, but that they have magnified un- duly the proportions of the German crisis as seen from abroad. It is pointed out that Germany has total of about $500 joint stock companies, and that the number of companies that have failed or gotten into finan cial difficulties constitute but slight proportion of the whole. Still the bourse views the situation very pes simistically. Besides the many un- favorable factors in the situation itself, additional uncertainty comes from the tariff agitation. Business men do not know what will be their condition under the new tariff law which goes into effect January, 1904.
 The great crisis in the German iron industry, for example, is chiefly due to the fact that all consumers of pig iron committed the vast folly at the height of the boom of placing contracts for iron for several years in advance, and at the high prices then prevailing. Many of the capi- talists that have recently gotten themselves into financial difficulties brought on these difficulties by ex- cessive expansion.
 After the present crisis is over an interesting chapter can be written upOu GuG lHLlIildt6 TeidIIONS or the German banks with industrial capi- talists. The jaunty confidence with which all foreign criticisms of the system was dismissed here up to year ago las certainly given place to more reticent attitude among financiers, and they are now much more willing to admit the dangers of the system.

The Nina,s Precautions

Among the works which are taking place at Windsor castle is the pulling up of all the foors--which have not been touched since the beginning of the last reign; some not for cen tury. They are to be completely re- laid on modern principles and are to be rendered freproof. Since the burning of Sandringham the king has always had a great dread of fire and he is taking advantage of the present opportunity of rendering the castle more secure against the devouring eIement.-Tattler

Mines of wax.

Tn several parts of the world resinous substance called ozocerite, and bearing considerable resemblance to beeswax, is found, usually in con- nection with rock salt and coal. There are deposits in Austria, Russia; Rou- mania, Egypt, Algeria, Canada and Mexico, but, says our consul at Trieste, Mir. Hossfeld, ozocerite has, so far, not been discovered in sufficient quantities to pay for mining anywhere except in the district of Boryslav, in Austrian Galicia, and on ah island on the west coast of the Caspian sea. In mining this mineral wax, shafts are sunk un- til bed, or nest" of ozocerite is struck. Then corinecting galleries are driven. There is considerable danger, and many lives have been lost in con- sequence of the sudden forcing up of the soft wax into the shafts by the enormous pressure to which it is sub- jected. It is used largely for manu- featuring ceresin, which is employed, together with beeswax, for making wax candles, aS we'll as in the manu- facture of photographic cylinders, and for many similar purposes.-Youtk's Companion.

 They have style about them, also, as they were designed and made for boys who want a shoe like a man. They are made with wide extension soles, and the inner outer soles and taps are of solid leather-not bit of filling or composition being used in their con- struction-in other words, they are honest goods made to sell at an hon est price, and to bsing trade to the store that sells them.

The method used in the United
States navy for the economical train
ing Of the gunners is very interest
ing. It is a well-known- fact that the
cost OF firing one of the large guns
used in the navy is very great,
amounting sometimes to $1,000 or
more. To save this expense a very
simple method is employed. In the
case of the large guns an ordinary
Remington rifle is secured in the
breech of the gun and directly in
the center of the bore, so that when
it is fired its bullet takes the same
direction as that of the regular pro-
jectile. The large gun is sighted in
the usual manner. On account of the
lesser velocity Of the small bullet the
target is placed close to the ship and
is made correspondingly small. The
method used for the six-pounder o.
other small guns is slightly different,
as instead of the small rifle wooden
or dummy cartridge the same size as
. regular cartridge is employed.
Through the center of this wooden
cartridge runs a rife barrel, which il
loaded with q 44-caliber cartridge.
This latter method has the additional
advantage of giving the gun crew
practice in loading as well rs firing
