Postal Cards.

Piedmont, January 7.5""Uncle
Sans supply of Postal cards will
no longer be manufactured from
West Virginia wood. Fifty mil
lion cards are now piled up in a
vault and store room at Luke, Md.
across the Potomac river from
here, where the factory is located,
to last until the plant is moved to
Rumford Falls, Maine, where at
least for the next four years the
postal cards will be printed, packed
and shipped to supply every little
postoffice, as well as every big one
in the United States, Cuba, Porto
Rico, Hawaii and the Philippines.
During a little more than four
years the postal card factory has
been located here, the present con-
tractors having begun operatio ms
here December 1st, 1897. and in
that time approximately 10000
poundsof paper has been consumed
in the manufacture of $500, 600, 600
postal cafdz. The amount Of pa
per consumed would require con-
siderable spruce forest in its manu.
facture. The output has averaged
about 100000 cards per month,
although the capacity of the plant
is much more than that, 100000
600 having been turned out in the
month of July, 1901.

Finley. Morgan. a youngster re-
siding in the town of Ravenswood,
is a wiser boy than he was few
days hence. He now knows
enough to keep his tongue off a
cold iron pump handle. Yester-

tongue would attach itself very.
firmly to cold iron if given the op-
portunity but he failed to believe.
He tried it and when he endeayor-
ed to get away he couldn't. In
stead of taking things cooly he
began struggling and the tongue
was torn almost half il two. A
physician was summoned to attend
the injury.

Extortion in WOODEN Goods.


In this months Forum" Mr..
Jacob Schoenhof, an experienced
and well-informed expert on wool
ems, shows the extent to which the
people are taxed for the benefit of
wooden manufacturers, and the
equally important fact, that the tax,
falsely called protection, is injur-
ious to the entire woolen interest,
both as to growers and manufact-
urers.
According to Mr.. Schoenhof's
showing. yard of English diago-
nal cloth fifty-six inches wide and
weighing sixteen ounces costs at
the factory door As cents The
duties amount to sixty eight cents.
A yard of slightly different cloth,
for which the importer pays the
manufacturer fifty-six cents, costs
the former S12S when the customs
duties have been paid. Serges
such as are used as Innings for mems
wear, costing IL cents yerd abroad,
the importer will have to ask 374
for to get good profit.
The effect of this excessive tariff
tax, falsely called protection, is to
lessen the use of wool and increase
that of cotton aud other adulter-
ants. Last year the consumption
of wool in this country was four
and tive-tenths pounds per capita,
whereas in 1897 it was eight and
four tenths pounds per capita.
The cost of all-wool goods is be-
coming so great that the poorer
people cannot afford to buy them.
They are forced to buy goods
which are adulterated with cotton.
The manufacturers use more and
more of that material in their wool
ems, SO that they may be able to
furnish the people with so. called
woolen goods at prices which are
within the reach of the latter.
AS Mr.. Schoenhof says, these
goods are of inferior quality.
Clothes made from them "bag at
the knees and elbows, wear white
the seams and edges, and re-
quire renewal twice as fast as good,
sound, all-wool clothes" In this
climate it is much better for the
health to use all-wool than mixed
cotton and wool goods.
The wool-raisers have not been
so much benefited by the protec-
ton given them as they thought
they would be, or as they would
have been but for the ingenuity of
the manufacturers who blend cot
ton and wool so scientifically that
it takes an expert to detect the
mixture.
The day may come when the
American wool.raisers will admit
that they cannot supply the ooun-
try with half the wool it ought to
consume, and that so long as cotton
and shoddy are usable as substi-
tutes for wool they cannot get for
their product the high prices they
have hoped for. In fact they are
beginning to appreciate this fact
now, by the demand arising that
the oleomargarine principle shall
be applied to woolens and special
tax imposed on adulterated wooden
goods. But it is foolish and i'm
practicable.-Pittsburg Post.

After you get angry and stop
your paper, just poke your finger
into water, pull it out, and look at
the hole. Then you will know
how badly you are missed. A
man who thinks his paper cannot
thrive without his support, ought
to go off and stay awhile, and
when he comes back, half his
friends will not know he has gone
and the other half will not care,
while the world kept no account of
movements. You will find things
you cannot endorse in every pa
per. The Book of Books" is
often very plain and hits some
hard raps. but if you were to get
mad and burn your Bible, the
hundreds of presses would go on
printing it. So when you stop
your paper and call the editor
names the paper will still be pub
lished and what is more, you will
read it on the sly.-Ex.

The cost of living Is computed
by "Dunn's Review in its tabuIa-

creased nearly 40 per cent. since
July 1, 1897. AT that date the to.
tai cost of the necessaries of living
of one person for one year was
$72.45. On the first of the present
month the cost of the same neces.
saries of life had advanced to
S101.59, the highest point in all
recent records. The method of
computation is simple and correct.
The index number of meats, dairy
and garden products and misf llla-
neous supplies show continuous
advance since 1897, while metals
show a decline. The increase is
greatest in meats.-Pittsbure:Po Post.
