THE USE OF IRON.
Its Effect In the Industrial World ~
a Barometer OF Trade,

Hts Effect In the Ind ustriaI World "a
a Barometer Of Trade.
There is an old industrial tradition
that the iron market is the barometer
Of trade" This saying has been as
cribed to many modern authorities,
ranging from Jay Gould to Andrew
Carnegie. AS a matter of fact, it Is
much older than any oracle of this Gen.
fury or the last. 1t had its origin in
the earliest days Of the period when
iron manufacture and the use Of credit
were simultaneously rising to impor-
tance. The basis for the tradition is
that the use Of iron and Of its products
is essential for the prosecution Of vir-
tually all other industries. Before the
output Of miscellaneous manufactures
In community can be much enlarged
the industries concerned must be equip
ped with new tools and new machinery.
Before a railroad system can be pre-
pared to transport greatly increased
traffic it must have new rails, new
bridges. new stations, new cars and
new locomotives. In these days of the
steel and iron Office building ''boom"
in the building trade cannot go far
without increasing enormously the de-
mand for structural iron. Even in the
agricultural industry it may be said
that expansion and prosperity involve
necessarily largely increased demand
for farm machinery. Since the use Of
such additional equipment must pre-
cede any increase in the business Of
these other trades it naturally follows,
first, that demand in the iron market
will be felt aggressively even before the
other industries have shown full meas
ure of activity, and. second, that If
such other industries foresee period
Of slack demand and idle mills the first
thing they will do will be to reduce
their orders from the iron and steel
mills.-Alexander D. Moves in Forum.

The house was beautifully decorated,
halls, banisters and doorways being
hung with the patriotic colors In the
Rolth parlor where the president, Mrs.
Duell presided, the large picture Of
the illustrious patriot was hung,
appropriately drapei Four large
silk flags with standard bearers form
ed a pleasing backgl found. Dozens OF
small flags were draped profusely
while the arches and windows were
draped in red, white and blue fish net
The piano stood in the alcove OF the
back parlo-, screened with the ma
tlonal colors. A most pleasing pro-
gram was rendered. Hope Wallace,
( in he1 inimitable way, captured all
present. The address OF the evening,

Hon. A. M. Powell, while Mrs. Fred

out to write up an accident where an
Irish hodcarrier was injured in a fall
from building. He arrived just as
two officers were assisting the injured
man into the ambulance.

ne Laked young people.


In his last work, I. Facts and Com
ments, Herbert Spencer gives a GU
rious bit Of self revelation. He con-
fesses that. though be particularly liked
the society of young people, it bored
him to an uncomfortable extent If they
worried him with unintelhgent chatter,
and that to avoid this it was his Gus
tom to ask them some question which
could not be answered without good
deal of thought, He was accustomed
to base his Judgment Of their intellects
upon the answers returned, and we can
well imagine that those who were sud

MANS LOVE OF THE DOG.
OF All Animals, Only the Dog Has
Made Alliance With Us.

Va AL AAAAntAASs VAAy NAS Oo8 AhSso
Made Alliance With Us.
Man loves the dog, but how much
more ought he to love it If he consid-
cred in the intiexible harmony Of the
laws Of nature the sole exception, which
Is that love of being that succeeds in
piercing in order to draw closer to US
the partitions everywhere else imper-
meable that separate the species! We
are alone. absolutely alone, on this
chance planet, and amid all the forms
Of life that surround us not one, ex-
cepting the dog, has made an alliance
with us. A few creatures fear US, most
are unaware of us, and not one loves
rs. In the world Of plants we have
dumb and moionless slaves. but they
serve US in spite Of themselves. They
simply endure our laws and our yoke.
They are impotent prisoners, victims
incapable Of escaping, but silently re-
bellious, and SO soon as we lose sight
Of them they hasten to betray us and
return to their former wild and mis-
chievous liberty. The rose and the corn,
had they wings, would fly at our ap-
proach like the birds.
Among the animals we number few
servants who have submitted only
through Indifference, cowardice or stu
pidity-the uncertain and craven horse,
who responds only to pain and is at
tached to nothing; the passive and de-
Jected ass, who stays with us only be-
cause he knows not what to do nor
where to go, but who nevertheless un-
der the cudgel and the pack saddle re-
fains the idea that turks behind his
ears; the COW and the OK, happy so long
as they are eating and docile because
for centuries they have not had a
Thought Of their own; the afrighted
sheep, who knows no other master than
terror; the hen, who is faithful to the
poultry yard because she finds more
maize and wheat there than in the
nefghboring forest. I do not speak of
the cat, to whom we are nothing more
than q too large and uneatable prey,
the ferocious cat, whose sidelong con-
tempt tolerates us only as incumbering
parasites in our own homes. She, at
least, curses us in her mysterious
heart, but all the others live beside us
as they might live beside rock or a
tree. They do not love us, do not know
MS, scarcely notice US. They are IN
aware Of our life. our death, our depar-
fure, our return, our sadness. our joy,
our smile. They do not even hear the
sound Of our voice as soon as it no Ion
ger threatens them, and when they
look at us it is with the distrustful be-
Wilderment Of the horse, in whose eye
still hovers the infatuation Of the elk
or gael that sees us for the first time,
or with the dull stupor of the rumi-
8nants. who look upon us as a momen-
tfary. and useless accident of the pas
lure. Maurice Maeterlinck in Century.

1.-THE NEGRO is A MAN"
Rev. w S. Armistead VS.. Prof. Cha
Carroll.

Rev. w S. Armistead VS.. Prof. Chas.
Carroll.
Same three years ago, as the read
ing public knows Prof. Carroll pub
lished a book entitled THE Negro Is
a Beast or in the Image of God"
In this book he goes to work and
proves, by perverting the Bible. that
the negro is a beast.
This subject has been outraged
from time to time by like argument
from different people generally
from the ungodly.) Prof. Carroll. by
his wholesale onslaught, makes all
these attempts insignificant He says
there is no soul where there is any
other blood than Caucasian. He per-
verts the Scriptures, arrays himself
against all churches and sects, and
sets at naught the plain teaching of
the book that has been sacred in all
ages. Rev. Armistead feels it a sacred
duty to defend the Bible and refute
this outrage committed against The
negro. For this purpose he has had
under consideration for two years
book with the above mentioned title,
THE Negro Is a Man. This book
proves that the negro has like rela-
ton to God as other races of the hui
man family. 1t is a complete answer
in any way to Prof. Carrolls Argyll
ment. This book makes neat and
attractive volume, and is now ready
for the public. 1t is easy to see 1t
will meet with ready sale.
