Hiuh Prices Desired.

Secretary of the Treasury Shaw
opened the administration side of the
presidential campaign at Washington,
Delaware, when he declared, May the
good Lord deliver us from another pc
Rod when living expenses are cheap"
High living expenses mean large
profits for the Dingleyites, and high
profits in their hands are expected to
bring out booming campaign subscrip-
TONS This completes the round, and
whether he be drawing wages or be
idle, as tens of thousands are at pres
ent.
Secretary Shaw is no ordinary IRE
sponsible spelloinder He is part and
parcel of the administration, and when
he demands higher prices-higher
food, clothing, medicine, and other
necessaries of life-he speaks the wish
of the administration He voices the
real inward sentiments of the Roose.
velt regime.
The oncoming campaign will large
Iy turn on the increased cost of living,
and Secretary Shaw took, so to speak,
the bull by the horns, but if he thinks
he has turned down the issue that the
consumer feels first and most, he is
greatly mistaken He has simply
served to accentuate it, and to bring
it forward. He and his associates ON
the stump will have lively time when
they attempt to Show that wages have
kept step with the costs of living.

know they nave not. Each voter will

sprinkIino Carts Needed.

"A sprinkling cart is badly needed along
Fifth avenue from Eighteenth street to
Twenty-fifth street." said a resident.
While there are no trolley lines on this
street the volume of traffic Is very heavy,
as 1t is just on the outskirts of the BUSH
ness part of town. Delivery wagons, car
riages and other vehicles are continually
passing. so that the dust often becomes
unbearabe
II don't see why people residing along
Fifth avenue do not take some steps To-
have it sprinked, as the city does rot
show any inclination to offer assistance
Some people use hose to lay the dust in
front of their houses but this is very
unsatisfactory when not practiced by all
the residents of a block

Wooden Indians Scarce.

"The sight of lone Indian OF wood

to be very scarce, not only in
Birmingham but in nearly all the
large cities of the country" said
man about town. For some inexplcable
reason wooden figures for advertising
nurposes seem to be going out Of favor.
The stately Indian chieftains and Minne-
hahas that were once so prominent along
our streets are seen no more. They re-
nose in ash barrels, trash piles and stor-
age rooms. where they lie, dust covered
and forgotten.
mot only are the Indians passing
away, but the colored bottles that were
once to be seen in all drugstore windows;
the wooden crucible Of the apothecary,
the huge wooden tooth of the dentist, the
giant key of the locksmith and a host
of Others are disappearing.
.sIt is hard to explain this state of af-
fairs unless perchance these signs en-
cumber the streets and are cons

age. Personally l think them most eff
fective advertisements, as it is much
harder now TO find gunsmith than 1t
was twenty years ago, when the gilded
rife swung above his shop could be seen

clocks and watches are still quite popu-
lar among jewelers., although they are

NEW MUSICAL TERMS.

From the Philadelphia Record.
Il had funny job the other night"
said musician. who lends his talents to
all sorts of musical entertainments for
charity Il had been asked to act as an
accompanist at an amateur minstrel
show and when I came to play the ac-
compartment for the first song sung by
one of the end men I found that the
marks on the score had been changed
This amateur minstrel man, while he had
powerful voice and a pretty good sense
OF humor' seemed to have a doubt that
could interpret the phrases correctly so
he attempted to improve upon them.
Where the score was marked piano he
mad submitted Go easy. Where the
score was marked 'crescendo he had
written In Work up. At the end was a
passage marked 'fortissimo,' and this he
had crossed out, substituting Pound like

a peck of trouble. They are standing
pat on the noble Dingley tariff. while
our foreign trade is crushed by It, and
home incomes and home prosperity are
sadly hampered and lessened by 1t.
The question of wages and the cost
of living, relatively considered, raised
by Secretary Shaw, will stay with us
to the end of the campaign, and no
amount of generalities will settle it.
Every eonsumer-that Is to say, every
man, will determine the problem each
for himself.

THE euTTA PERcHA SUPPLY.

From the New York Commercial.
1t appears that. Notwithstanding a con-
stantly Increasing demand for this COM
modify, the production of gutta percha
or ''eaoutchouc' is steadily diminishing.
In 1902 the total worlds output was $4,000
tons, as against $1,000 in 1900. In that
year the South American countries
Brazil, Peru and Bolivia contributed
5000 tons of this total and eastern and
western Africa 24,000 tons. In 1902 the
South American product was 10000 tons
and the African 10000 tons, thus show
ing that decrease in the African supply
and an increase in the South American.
A certain portion of the total supply
comes from southern Africa. Central
America, Mexico, Java and Boreno, but

FAMILY RECORD BIBLES.
They Are still in Demand, But Not Sold to the Same Extent as
 Formerly.

Do we still sell the old-fashioned fam fly Bible, with pages in it for the record of births, deaths and marriages? Oh, yes," said the bookseller, according to a New York exchange, but not so many of them as we once did.
 There are more Bibles sold now, talk ing them all together, than ever before, and the Bible is issued now in an almost endless variety of forms and styles; but the demand for it in this particular form is now, l should say, not more than one-third what 1t once was.
 Still, we keep these record Bibles to- day in a dozen styles, ranging in price from five dollars to $20. The blank rec ord pages, these often illuminated, are bound in between the two Testaments.
 Tn some of these Bibles there is blank presentation page upon which may be written the name of the person to whom the Bible is presented, with the name of the giver; and in some of them is contained blank marriage cer- tificate; and in some there are bound in with the pages for the record of births uedtnS huu nndl ildSSs, Pet5Ss @OA IA0 A0S- ord of temperance pledges.
 These Bibles are more likely to be bought nowadays by country people, and it might be by people of the German race and by Irish Protestants; all likely to be substantial people of comfortable means; conservative people who cling still to time-honored customs.
 50, while the old-time family record Bible, with pages for the record of births, deaths and marriages, has gone somewhat out of fashion, and is not sold to the extent to which it once was, yet 1t is still sold, and the demand for it is still considerable"
