Total Value of Products in One Year

The manufactures division of the Cen

statistics for the manufacture Of pens
and pencils in the United States for the
census year ending May 81, 1900
The reports show capital of 50, 671. III
invested in the manufacture of pens and
pencils in the So establishments report
ing for the United States This sum
represents the value OF land, buildings,
machinery, tools, and implem ents, and
the live capital utilized, but does not
include the capital stock of any of the
manufacturing corporations engaged in
these industries.
The value of the products is returned
at s4222. .14S. to produce which involved
an outlay Of .$2Sl, CSC for salaries of off,

the difference between the aggregate Of
these sums and the value Of the products
is, in any sense, indicative Of the profits
in the manufacture of pens and pencils
during the census year. The census
schedule takes no cognizance of the cost
of selling manufactured articles, or of
interest on capital invested, or of the
mercantile losses incurred in the busi-

TREASURY STANDARD INK.
Directions Regarding Its Use Issued by
the Department.

The following directions regarding the
use of Treasury Standard" ink were
giver out yesterday a: the Treasury De
partment They are compiled by Mr..
NJ. E. Allies. assistant secretary. as
follows:
''The Treasury Standard ink. which
is now used exclusively in all branches
of the Treasury service, is made accord
irg to formula approved by the de-
partment after mature consideration of
the subject. The adoption of this ink
was found necessary for the perma-
nency OF the public records.
In order to secure permanence. an
ink trific heavier than the ordinary
commercial writing fluids is necessary.
4 heavy body in ink is essential to per-
manence, hut such an ink should not
lie expected to flow from the pen as
freely as would a Hghter and more
ephemeral auid.
"Ccrrosion Of the pen is also to be
expected. and ought to be guarded
against. in the use of a heavy, perma-
nent ink.
Therefore, in order to obtain salts
factory results in the use of the Treas
ury Standard ink. the following rules
ehouId be observed:
T. Pens should be kept clean 10 pre-
vent undue corrosion and filing up Of
the points. N
% Inkstands with open wells should
be kept closcd when not in use, to pre-
vent evaporation and the consequent eX-
cessive thickening of the ink. Such ink
stands ought also 20 be cleaned anG re-
filled at intervals of about a week, but
the ink In automatic stands, where the
vells are entirely and permanently in
closed and removed from atmospheric
influences, need not be changed so fre-
quently.
.. Water or otEe. diluting matter
must not be added to the ink for the
purpose of increasing the fluidity, be-
cause ink so jhinned loses in pernla=
nency.
The observance Of these rules viii
insure satisfaction in the use OF this
Ink"

Two BILLION DOLLARS
In FARM ROPBRHIES
The Agriculturists of Illinois
Made Good Showing.
Gain of S7.I Per Cent in Total Value of
Products in the Past
Ten Years.

The Census Office yesterday issued a
bulletin giving the statistics of agricul-
ture for the State of Illinois.
The farms of Illinois, June /, 1900,
the report states, numbered 264, isl, and
were valued at s1,765, 5S1 $50, OF which
amount S251, ,467, $50, or 14.2 per cent,
represents the value of buildings, and
81, 14.113, $40, or S5.S per cent. the value
of the land and improvements other
than buildings. On the same date the
value of farm implements and machinery
was s44,977,310, and of live stock, s1s3,-
75S,O37 These values, added to that of
farms, give s2.OO4,S16,S97, the total
value of farm property"
The products derived from domestic
animals, poultry, and bees. including
animals sold and animals slaughtered
on farms, are referred to In this bulle-
tin as animal products" The total
value of all such products. together with
the value of all crops, is termed total
value of farm products" This value for
1899 was S345, ,649,6 Gil, of which amount
$3.50. SIG, sos, or 37.S per cent, represents
the Nalue OF animal pTOuucIS, anu Szlfr-
S32, ,7G6, or 62.2 per cent, the value Of
crops. including forest products cut ur
produced on farms. The total value Of
farm products for 1899 exceeds that for
1889 by $3.50 $50, ,59S or 81 per cent. A
part of this increase is doubtless due 10
a more detailed enumeration in 1900
than in 1890.
The gross farm income" is obtained
by deducting the value of the products
fed to live stock on the farms of the
producers from the total value of farm
products. In 1899 the reported value OF
products fed was sS1, ,S97. $50, leaving
$3.50, 1852 ,431 as the gross farm income"
The ratio which this latter amount bears
to the total value OF farm property is
referred to in the text as the percent
age OF gross income upon investment. I"
For Illinois, in 1899, It was 1872 per cent.
AS no reports OF expenditures for
taxes, interest, insurance, feed for stock,
and similar items have been obtained by
any census, no statement OF net farm
income can be given.

Wisdom,s Whisper.

Don't complain when doing distaste-
full work; do it quickly and be done
with it.
The world takes more notice Of your
Joys than it does Of your SORROWS.
There is no use trying to force peo-
pie into believing you are better than
your fellowmen.
Fair dealing oftentimes is made to
appear in the light of generosity.
1t is a mistake to suppose that a
sorrowful aspect will be accepted as
piety.
DESTINATIONS display of religious
fervor frequently is nothing more
than hypocrisy CLOSED.
A man who is loud in his declara-
tions of poverty is not always an OBJ
iect of charity.
Extravaganza always forgets that

brilliancy of the smile on the face.

BEAUTY OUT-OF-DOORS.
Good Work That Is Being Done by
Town and Village Improve
ment Associations.

A recent report to the American
Park and Outdoor Art association
presents a mass of interesting infor-
nation regarding the good work
which town and village improvement
societies are doing. The $50 societies
on whose work the report is based
represent % states and several for
eign countries. The whole number of
such organizations is much greater,
says Youths Companion.
By tree planting and in many other
ways streets have been beautified.
Public bath houses, drinking foun-
tains and comelier schoolhouses have
come into being. In one Massachu
setts town, for example, picturesque
stone railway station has taken the
place of an old wooden structure, and
an Indian monument and a memorial
walk have been added to the local
sights" In other towns parks, SAN
itary reforms, the marking of his
toric spots, and score of other bene-
fits have sprung directly from the eff
forts of improvement soci,>ies.
Similar work is done on an extern
'ive scale in many foreign countries.

MisDIaced Confidence.

Sir Courtenay Boyle was one Of the
best dinner companions imaginable.
He had more excellent stories than
would fill half dozen big volumes.
One of them was of a sufferer who
called at a poulterer's shop for some
turkeys. "Some are though and
some are t-tender?" he queried of the
shopman, who admitted the soft i'm
parchment. I'll s-suppose there is a
Indifference in the price," the GUS
toner remarked, only to be informed
that his supposition was wrong. I'll
k-keep a b-boys' school," he said;
"would you m-mind p-picking out
1.-THE tough ones ?" The shopman. with
a wink, separated the tough ones
from the tender ones, and once more
the customer asked if no difference
could be made in the price. The poul-
terer was sorry that it was impos-
sible; and he was sorry, too, no doubt.
when the customer said: ''Then I'll
take. the tender ones!"-St. James

SUNSHINE AND SHADOW.

Some pathways through a shadow run,
Shut out by clouds from heavens warm
sun,
While some on sunny hilltops lie,
Close to the gladness of the sky
All, some in shadow, some in sum-
So has it been since time begun.
Some always have to bear load
OF care along dreary road,
From which, on sunny heights, they see
Those for whose backs no burdens be.
So shall it always be while life
Holds fast to happiness and strife.
But sometime shall pathway run
Out of the shadow into the sun,
And valley plodders turn and climb
To sunny heights, in Gods good time.
All, sometime, somewhere, soon or late
So, heart of mine, in patience wait!
So come to US whatever may,
Believe God is not far away,
And lift your eyes toward the light
That burns, beacon. on the height.
By souls who strive the heights are won
The shadow leads into the sun!
