The census Of 1900 showed Tacoma
to have 381 manufacturing establish
ments, whose aggregate invested CAPT.
tai was sS,14e,6s1. One Of the most
significant facts shown by the census
Of 1900 was that Of the 4,347 wage
earners; 4,104 were men, while only
203 were women or children. s. The
total value of the products for the year
preceding the census was $12,029,497
Some partial comparisons May be
made which will show at once how
rapid has been the development Of
Tacoma's industrial activities. One
hundred and thirty-fve leading and
representative manufacturing. concerns
in Tacoma during 1908 employed an
average of 6,796 wage earners, while
the value of the finished product Of
these establishments alone for the
T sum Of $1,129,55O was expended in
permanent improvements. 49,
How 'Tacoma's manufacturing in
dustries have grown since 1900 may
be illustrated by reference to the lum-
| Der industry. During the last census
year there were twelve establishments
in Tacoma for the manufacture Of
lumber and timber products, employ
ing forty-fve salaried officials and an
leverage OF, 1909 wage earners, who
received $577,700 in wages. The
value of the output for the year was
$2,363,065. There are now twenty
two lumber and shingle mills, exclu-
sive of planning mills, employing an
average of 1852 wage earners and
the value of whose product in 1 903 was
$5,110,39S. One year ago there were
2,4sS men employed in the lumber and
sh1ngle mills and the value of the out

climatic conditions of course we can not control, but we can control most of the others to a greater or less ex- tent. First of all, if we would have bird tenants, we must provide them with suitable nesting sites, and to be suitable they must above all things be safe. It is quite unfair to encour- age birds to nest on our premises and then allow them to be molested by cats, dogs or even children.
 The greater the number and variety of suitable bird houses we have ready when the birds begin to arrive, the greater number of tenants we may hope to retain. For the bluebirds we may have many styles of homes ready for occupancy. Neat boxes may be nailed against the house or barn. de cayed stumps which have been hol- lowed out by woodpeckers may be brought from the woods and set up in the garden or holes may be bored in an old outhouse, and boxes or tin cans nailed up inside. Similar preparations may be made for the house wren, though, being a smaller bird, smaller accommodations will answer. If we do not cut down all the decayed trees on the premises. we may possibly have woodpeckers, nuthatches, and even ehickadees and creepers for tenants.
 If we put up gool-sized bird house with several openings and apartments, on the top of pole 25 or 30 feet high, we shall tempt the sweet-voiced purple martins if there happen to be any in our part of the country.
 If we are living in our own hon e. we may enjoy the delights of planning a permanent bird garden. There we can not only make use of all sorts of artificial nesting sites but we can make natural ones by planting such trees and shrubs and ereepers as birds delight to build in. Nor mvst we neglect the question of food, a most important one at all seasors A mulberry tree on the premises is a great attraction for many species ot birds, some of which eat the fruit It. self. and others the insects attracted by the berries. Choke cherry trees are also useful in a bird garden. as are also mountain ash trees. junipe>s pines and spruces. Barberry bushes hawthorne, blackberres, raspberries, sumach, bittersweet and score of other shrubs, all bear fruit which at tract birds of one kind or anothsr while columbines, larkspurs, trumpet creepers, salvia and many other flow CTS will act like magnets on the ruby throated hummingbird Water should of course be present in such a garden and in generous quantities; enough not only for drinking but for bathing. Running water is best. but where this cannot be supplied shallow pans of any material may be set on the lawn or on the tops of low stumps about i the grounds.

FUN ON A STREET CAR.
And This Nonsense Was Heard in the Sedate and Sensible City
 of Philadelphia.

On Walnut street car the other day. says the Philadelphia Record, two women who evidently knew each other but slight ly struck up this conversation: Why, Mrs: Brown! How dye do?' How dye do. Mrs Greenz l wasn't sure it was you at inst" Yes, it's me, all right. How 5 Mir Brown = "Oh. he's all right. flows Mr i Green" e, "tles all right, too. HAys yourn:" They re all right"
 There was a slight pause, as though neither knew what to say net. Suddenly one had an inspiration. She glegled q minute and then said: Say, my husband asked me the other day what your first name Was, and 10 save my soul 1 couldn't tell him. What is it?"
 Then it was the other woman's turn to ciggle. Why. it's Millicent.9 she sad "Mllhcent? How do you spell itE" "Oh, it's an easy name. M-il-l-i-c-e-n-t." :" Well, you can't never say you amt got cent to your name, can you?"
 A scream af laughter followed this wit ticism, and they began to slap each or the wrist.
