TO ENLARGE BUSINESS.
PARIS MANUFACTURING co. BUYS WOOD
RIM FACTORY AT WEST PARIS.

The Paris Manufacturing Company
believes in expansion, as is demonstrat-
ed by the fact that it has purchased the
plant formerly run by the State of Maine
Wood Rim Company at West Paris, and
will take possession as soon as the
formalities of transfer can be completed.
This factory has stood unused since the
Wood Rim Co. suspended business a
wear or two since.
For the present the company will use
the West Paris factory to work up and
season its lumber All the lumber which
the company cuts in Greenwood
amounting this year to something like a
million and half-is now loaded on the
cars at West Paris. In future this will
be sawed down to size in the West Paris
mill, and placed in the dry house, to be
carried to the South Paris factory when
il is needed.
Ii is however the intention of the COM
PAW in due time to transfer the manu-
| facture of some lines of goods. at least
the step ladders and lawn swings-tO
the West Paris factory. These goods
are bulky, and their manufacture re.
ouires considerable amount of floor
space, of which there is a large amount
in the West Paris factory. The steI
ladder trade is increasing rapidly.
The ultimate removal of the manu-
factnre of these goods from the South
Paris factory will not decrease the
amount of business done here or thu
number of men employed, but will have
la tendency toward the opposite effect, al
Tit will give more room for the other lines
of work. The change will enable tn,
company to do considerably large
business and fill its orders, which it il
now unable to do, having been obliged
in the past year to refuse many Thousand
dollars worth of business.

, SOME METALS.

Iridium, worth more than $3.50 a
pound, Is the hardest metal known and
is used to tip gold pens.
Lithlum, worth more than S1,100 q
pound, is used only in medicine, its
salts being valuable In rheumatic az
fections.
Tungsten, worth 90 cents a pound, Is
largely used In matallurgy and gives
to steel qualities similar to those i'm
parted by molybdenum.
Molybdenum, worth S1.44 pound, Is
used In metallurgy. Molybdenum steel
possesses the rare quality Of preserv-
Ing its hardness even when heated TO
redness.
Selenium, which has the curious prop
erty of losing its resistance to the cleo
trio current under the influence Of
light, is used In the telelectroscope and
is worth 500 pound.
Uranium, worth $50 pound, is used
in the glass and porcelain industries.
1t has been found that uranium car
bide is superior to nickel or tungsten
In the manufacture Of high grade steel.
Palladium, which has the smallest
coefficient of dilatation, is used for the
mounting Of astronomical instruments.
The standard meter of France is made
Of palladium. The pure metal costs

The Power Of Illustration In the
Turn Of q Phrase.
James Russell Lowell said, There's
a deal O. solid kicking in the meekest
looking mule" II the statement had
been, There's good deal Of obstinacy
covered by apparent amiability," the re-
mark might have passed without mo-
ment's notice, but attached to such a
figure as tie poet used it will be diff
cult for the mind ever to get rid Of it.
Mazzini says, Labor is the divine
law of our existence" This is little
more than commonplace, but when he
added, "Repcse is desertion and sui
eide" the commonplace was transfig-
ured into memorable ILLUSTRATION.
A French writer said, "The really eff
ficient laborer will be found not to
crowd his day with work" That seems
to be forgettable When he adds, HE
will saunter to his task surrounded by
a wide halo Of ease aid leisure" the
halo serves the purpose Of an explana-
tory Illustration.
President Garfield once said, Mine
times out of ten the best thing that can
happen to young man is to be tossed
overheard and compelled to sink or
swim for himself" The tossing over
board was the illustration. The saga

emphasis by personal reference, I'm all

When Lavater said, "Habit is alto

that constituted the memorable illus
tration.
Carlyle, great master Of metaphor,
said truly: "No man lives without jos
Ting and being jostled. In all ways he
has to elbow himself through the
world, giving and receiving offense."
The doctrine of this sentence might
easily have become mere platitude,
but 1t is fixed upon the memory by JOS
Ting and being jostled and the elbow
ing Of oneself through the world. This
illustration is the very making Of the
argument.-Joseph Parker, D. D., In

Total resources, .Sl2 ,sS9 80
Net debt OF town. SIS 10


Considering that the statement last
wear showed net debt of s8,55l.2l, the
above balance is at first glance almost
startling, until it is explained how it is
obtained The school fund and the
Bray fund, hitherto commonly reckoned
as liabilities, have this year been
omitted, thus reducing the liabilities by
the sum of 81, 1880. There are various
ways of making up towns standing,
and this is no more open to criticism
than some others. 1t is very true that
the principal of neither of these funds
will ever have to be paid, but they are
nevertheless as certainly interest-bear-
ing as town nOtes-in fact more so, for
while the town borrows money on notes
at per cent, the Bray fund bears per
cent and the school fund per cent.
As for reckoning the amount over
drawn on appropriations among the re-
sources, the Democrat holds the same
opinion as last year-that it is as reason
able as it would be for school boy to
reckon an increase Of five dollars in his
spending money for the next month be-
cause he has overdrawn his allowance
that amount in the past month.
The report of the school committee,
after emphasizing the necessity OF more
room at South Paris, recommends tear
ing down the brick school house and
building new house on the same site,
for reasons which have been already
briefly summarized in the Democrat.
This report is signed by Drs. Woodbury.
and Packard. A minority report is made
by George NJ. Atwood, concurring in the
report except as relates to the advisable
ity of tearing down the brick house,
saying: IF the present school house is
to be abandoned, believe it is wiser fol
the town to sell the lot and building az
it stands and erect new house on new
lot instead of mourning the expense OF
reducing the present structure to mass
of ruins that will cost more than they
are worth as entering into the construc
ton of new building. Two excellen,
lots near Moore Park are obtainable."
