TIrRPENTINE WASTE.

II is well known of all turpentine
producers that the present method OF
producing turpentine is very waste
full. How to gather the gum with
minimum Of loss is a problem that has
puzzled turpentine men for years. The
man who can perfect some scheme for
getting practically all the gum that
comes from the tree, and without loss
of the spirits by evaporation on the
face" of the boxed pine, can win
comfortable fortune.
In New York the other day Mr.. ].
P. williams of this city-than whom
no man knows more about turpentine
and its neutrality-suspicious. the waste
of turpentine gathering in an inter-
view with a reporter for the Tribune.
The newspaper young man evidently
hailed from Vermont or some other sec
ton in which they produce maple
sugar; and out of the kindness of his
heart he must have determined, after
getting back to his Office, to save Mr.
Williams from appearing ridiculous in
the interview, by ringing a lot of
his maple sugar sap information into
Mr. williams turpentine sap talk. At
all events, what he wrote will appear
very very funny to Mr.. Williams
friends and the turpentine people gem
orally. Here are some of the observa-
lions that were credited to the Savan-
nah man:
"The tapping operation is performed
1T. IL
and one inch deep with an axe. 1t
may also be done by boring with an
auger, or again with a sharp pointed
instrument. like marlinspike, which
is driven into the tree with mallet
AS soon as the hole is made a dipper
down this into a bucket placed at the
bottom of the tree II is here that one
Of the greatest sources of waste is dis
played, for a bucket is frequently car
ried away without another being put
in it's place, and the valuable juice of
the tree is allowed to flow to the
ground and waste. 1 have seen hun
dreds of turpentine trees tapped at one
time, and not fifty out of a hundred
would nave buckets 10 catch the flow.
Most of the tapping is done by ne
groes."
We fear this luminous bit of descrip-
ton will not result in leading to a so
luton of the problem. 1t may cause
some of the nimble- Drained and invent
i've denizens OF the maple sugar dis
tricts to put on their thinking caps; but
with such data OF information to work
on, It may be conjectured that no in
vention of theirs would quite suit.
Meanwhile the matter of checking
the waste in turpentne gathering
should be continually agitated among
those who understand the process of
production better than the New York
reporter. The source Of supply is be-
coming less and less every year, and
It is a wise producer who seeks to save
every drop OF gum that he can. as well
as to foster his forests by every means
in his power. Mr.. Williams is doing
good by talking about the matter. even
though the good gum Of his argument
is permitted by a maple sap reporter to
go to waste.

THE DANISH WEST INDIES:


If there is much opposition to the
treaty by which we are to acquire the
Danish West India Islands the fact has
not yet cropped out. No doubt we shall
know whether or not the opposition
amounts TO much when the treaty
comes before the Senate for ratifca-
ton.
1t is probable that the people have
not as yet thought great deal about
the matter. If they have not they
ought to, because there is a strong
probability that If we do acquire the
islands they will be a source of much
trouble to us and of very little profit.
The ground on~which the government
Is acquiring them is that they are es-
sential to our navy and our commerce.
In stating these grounds it is Of course
understood that it is our purpose to
construct the Nicaragua canal. With
out an isthmian canal 1t is doubtful if
the islands would have much value for
u.s.
1t is said that the island of St. Thorn
! as Is fairly prosperous, but that the 9TH
ers are not. 1t is a fact that the Brit
ish West Indies are in a deplorable
condition, and it is a safe statement
that the islands which we have bar
gained for are on the down grade.
The trouble with them is that they
have devoted all of their attention in
! recent years to the production of su-
gar. The beet sugar producers of Eu-
rope have practically taken that mar
ket away from them and the market
Of the United States is virtually closed
to them because of it's high sugar tar
iff. The planters of the West India
islands find IT difficult to produce sugar
at price that will enable them to dis
pose of ii In any market that will yield
them a profit 1t is easy to understand
therefore why it is that the islands are
on the decline. In all of them, except
those belonging to France, there are
many plantations that are not cult
waited at all. France helps the people
of her islands by means OF bounties on
sugar and also by encouraging diver
sified crops and manufacturing.
IL we get the Danish West India ISL
ands we shall have to extend to them
a helping hand. just as 1t is proposed
that we shall help Cuba. and as we are
helping Porto Rico. Unless we lower
our tariff on sugar coming from Cuba
that island will be i'm a worse condi-
ton than it was under Spanish rule,
because while 1t belonged to Spain 1t
had access TO the markets OF that coun-
try on very liberal terms. We took
that market away from II when we
gave 1t independence. and we have pro-
vided none in place OF II. But the OPP
ening of our market to the sugar and
tobacco OF Cuba means injury TO our
sugar producers and tobacco growers.
And the acquisition Of the Danish
West India Islands means that we shall
have to extend a. helping hand to them
at the expense OF certain of our agri-
cultural interests. We propose TO do
what we think is essential to our COM
meree and navy at the expense OF a
large percentage OF our own people.

Joe" Weber tells this story of how
the firm Of Weber & Fields came very
near being dissolved at one time, says
the New York Times. They were plav-

that their future lay in acrobatic work

East Twelfth street, where there were
two large ash dumps There they
found James T. Powers and Peter
Daliey praeticing acrobatic stunts The
latter two did not fancy the invasion

were their rivals for popularity along
the Bowery and drove them away with
stones, one of which, thrown by Pow

All right, I'm willing" said Weber.
They walked back to the Bowery to-
gether without speaking. few DAYS
before the incident they had Clipped in
a dollar each and bought trunk

sulkily asked Weber.

said Weber.
After quarreling for some time over
the matter Fields, finally hit upon.

and we can each take half" he said
Weber agreed to the proposition, and
procuring saw, started upon the divi-
sion of the only valuable asset of the

and said:

one OLD NAY WANTED.

/ There Is a popular impression that
there is no demand nowadays for the
| services Of old r1en. Only recently
/ there was q good deal OF comment in
| the newspapers on the action Of one
/ Of the great insurance companies in
Dcnsioning all Of its clerks who had
/ reached the age Of sixty years. and
putting young men in their places.
/ II is a fact. Of course, that employers
are averse 70 employing old men One
reason IS that old men are liable to
reach point very soon at which their
usefulness becomes impaired. and an
other Is that they are not as quick to
adapt themselves to new ideas and new
business methods as young men. En-
pioycrs do not like to discharge old
men when they are no longer equal TO
the performance Of the duties OF the
places they occupy especially Il they
are dependent upon what they earn.
Therefore. when an old man loses his
place ne finds It extremely difficult to
get another.
There is one old man, however,
whose services are in demand. We
refer to Mr.. Gage. Secretary Of the
Treasury. He is over sixty-six years Of
age and In a few days will cease to be
the head Of the Treasury Department.
Ever since it became known that he
was 10 retire from the cabinet he has
been in receipt OF offers Of employ
ment. In our dispatches yesterday Il
was announced that he was wanted
at the head OF a great financial insti-
tuition in ST. Louis. He has stated.
however. that he will make his home
in either New York or Chicago, IL be-
ing understood that he has offers from
financial institutions in each Of these
cities at a salary several times as
large as he is receiving from the gov
ernment.
II Is probable that he has practically
made up his mind as TO the offers that
have been made to him. and that with
In a few weeks he viii be receiving a
salary OF. $50, 900 a year or more as the
president Of big bank or trust COM
pspy.
The case Of Mr.. Gage is, of course,
an exceptional one. He has made a
reputation as a financier, and his name
alone is worth a great deal to a finan-
cial institution. Still, there are a great
many old men-men who are seventy
years of age and over-whose services
are as valuable as they were when
they were not more than half that age,
but these men are in good physical
condition. Age therefore is not always
an evidence of impaired usefulness.
Many men are much more nearly worn
at forty than others are at sixty.
A fixed retiring age does Injustice to
a large percentage OF those to whom
1t is applied. Mr.. Gage would be re-
tired under the rule adopted by the
life Insurance company to which at
tention has been called, and yet it is
doubtful IL any employee of that insti-
tuition, except It's president perhaps,
has the earning capacity that he has.
