New Things in Elevators.

Clinton Fiske has friend, an Eng
lishman by birth and an American by
force of circumstances, who has been
in this country long enough to absorb
the American idea of humor. Last
summer he was in London on a visit,
says the New York Times, and, hap
pening to have business with man on
an upper floor of tall building, took
the lift to reach his Office. The ele-
vator was one of those excessively de-
liberate British affairs, and it's snail
like progress annoyed the Americanized
Briton. The only other occupant of
the car was middle-aged Englishman,
with a manenr of peculiarly English
seriousness The man from America
ventured to address him:

provement III this lift" he std.
The Englishman looked seriously in

Why" the other man went on, I'D
make it go faster by a simple little ar
rangement. I'd stop the lift altogether
and move the building up and down.
The Englishman looked slightly more
interested.

The Desk Slaves Song.

From the Los Angeles Herald
o this is the song of the man who's
chained
All day to a roll-top desk:
Who, sweltering over a type machine.
Assumeth a shape grotesque.
The breeze and the sunshine are not
for him.
The sky is mere hearsay;
He sits and he grinds mid the rustling
sheets
Through all of the dull, dull day.
He thinks of the years when his hands
were hard,
His arms like the best of steel;
He thinks of the days when his 1.-the
limbs made
Good time on a racing wheel:
He thinks of the day when he held his
In harvesting hay or grain
Then smiles at the thought that GRO
quet game
Can give him a next-day pain.
He signs to remember the mighty
He showed on the college track:
He thinks of the days when he played
baseball
And wishes those days were back;
He thinks of himself in a football suit
Well padded and picturesque.
Then weeps DER recalling the fiabby
form
That's chained to the roll-top desk.
o man in the field. with the hoe or
pillow,
o man with the ditching spade!
Yoarn not for the easy white-handed
job
Instead of your sturdy trade.
There's money--sometimes- the Of

There's life in the work you do,
You are famed and warmed by the

And arched with a roof OF blue.

SOME STARTLING FIGURES.

The address which Prof. Charles
Herty delivered at the convention of
turpentine operators at Jacksonville on
Wednesday, ought to be in the hands
of every turpentine operator. 1t con-
tains figures, showing the waste in the
present method of getting the gum
from the pine tree. that are absolute
ly startling. 1t will be recalled that
Prof. Herty resigned a professorship
in the University of Georgia about a
year ago to accept a position in the
division of forestry of the Agricultural
Department. and was assigned to this
section of the South to look after the
naval stores industry.
Long before his appointment, how
ever, Prof. Herty was impressed with
the waste connected with the present
method of getting from the pine tree
the product from which is obtained
turpentine and rosin. and Immediately
after his appointment he set about
making experiments TO show that his
opinion in respect to this matter was
well founded. He was satisfied that
the box cut in the pine tree was not
only extremely damaging to the tree,
but that the best results were not OBJ
tanned from it. Instead of having
boxes cut in the tree be adopted a sys-
tenn of two fiat faces on a tree. each
face containing a slanting incision
about a quarter of an inch deep,
slightly inclined. Then he had cutters
made of galvanized iron to fit these
incisions.
The results obtained from this sys-
tenn were simply wonderful. We do not
undertake to give details. They will be
found in our Jacksonville dispatch pub
lished yesterday. In his summary he
says that the results gained justify
IAN estimate that for every four bar
rels of spirits produced three have
been wasted" Continuing, he says:
AT this ratio the crop of the present
year, estimated in round numbers at
100000 barrels of spirits, together with
100000 barrels of rosin, the total valle
being ST., 400, 600, should have been from
the same timber and from the same
itAbOA AfVpVspOO DeAACI VI spirits anu
3,675000 barrels of rosin, with a total
value of $50. $4,000"
What a tremendous waste has been
going on all these years! If Prof.
Herty's system had been in use since
Savannah became the headquarters of
the naval stores industry the product
that has been marketed from this port
could have been obtained from a lit
tie more than half the number of trees
that were boxed to get it. What a
saving there would have been there
fore in the cost of production!
There is no use. however, in regret
ting the mistakes that have been made.
The thing to do is to set about adopt
ing the new system at once. The pine
forests are rapidly disappearing Tn
less the naval stores industry is to be-
come thing of the past in this sec
ton of the world areas of pine for
ests must be protected from the AK,
and the system devised by Prof Herty
for the economical gathering of the
gum from the tree must be adopted.

Married Mans Musings.

All the worlds a stage and most
of the speaking parts are taken by the
women, says the Blacksburg (Va)
News.
1t makes woman sour to have to
wait nineteen years for a chance to
say, This is so sudden"
An old maid finds it very hard to
be friendly with a widow who's had
four husbands.
When an old bachelor dreams he's
married, and an old maid dreams
she's never going to be, each talks the
next morning about the dreadful
nightmare" they had.
It is not on record, but it is probable,
that when Noah told his wife that it
was going to rain for forty days, she
began to throw out hints about how
dreadfulfy questionable her old mack
intosh was.
The day he's married fellow is so
happy he says it must be all dream;
a year later he wishes somebody would
come along and wake him up.
Women are pessimists; men opti-
miss. When a woman feels blue she
sits down and has a good cry A man
in the same condition goes around the
corner and takes a smile"
1hOSt people WHO embark on the sea
of matrimony get seasick before the
voyage is half over.
When they get engaged the girl re-
gsV>is him as the light of her existence.
After they get married the light begins
to so out nights.
Since brevity is the soul of wit mar
ried men ought to feel funny. They
are generally short.
Like most men nowadays, Adam
went into matrimony with his eyes
shut.
After that Eve probably kept a
broomstick handy for any fellow who
might come along trying to sell mice

One reason Eve got out of the gar

case? Most people do"

Four officers of the Toledo, Ann Ar
Dor and North Michigan and the wis
consin Central railways have been in
dicted for violations of the interstate
commerce law and arrested. Under the
clause of the act they are said to have
violated, Imprisonment for two years
and fine of $4,000 may be imposed.
The use of the criminal courts is one
effective and already legally existent
method of dealing with the trusts,
which President Roosevelt. in his
search for a remedy, seems to have
overlooked. While the constitutional
amendment is being obtained let him
think this over. He'll have plenty of
time.

An ingenious individual. who had
discovered a new method of living
without work. came recently to grief
in New York. He is skilled contor-
zionist and made a practice of falling
from trolley cars in a way that would
excite the apprehensions of spectators,
but would actually cause him no in
jury. Then he would lie up in bed
and collect from the company. He
tried the game once too often and was
Jailed. He win have an opportunity
now to concoct new schemes without

is to-day, a subject for the jeers and

The Charleston News and Courier
alludes aggrievedly to some comment
made in the Morning News as to the
lack of fresh water in that city. re-
torting that instead fresh water is
easily and always to be obtained in
over-abundant quantities. We are as
pleased with this bit of news as our
brothers from "over home" Anyhow,
IN our acceptance of the truth of the
report Of the water famine, we had
ascribed it TO the obvious necessity Of
diluting dispensary whisky to suit the
cultured and cultivated Charlestonian
palate. We are doubly glad there is
enough water for that.
