The Cushnoc Paper Co. has finished
the work of landing the pulp wood
which was towed up the river in two
RATS, a short time ago, and by a novel
method. Sometimes the company has
had the logs from down river let into
the boom and sawed at the steam mill.
from which point they were hauled by
team to the paper mill. but this year
donkey engine was installed above
the dam, and the sticks were hoisted
over the dam, and at the same place
where the logs come over on their trip
down the river, in the spring. The
plan was found to work well.

tons In China. Italy is manufacturing
for itself and Is damaging England's
trade In the Levant Germany, once a
heavy buyer, Is now Englands COMPETE
tor both at home and abroad. The
general situation Is fairly indicated by
a table showing that in twenty-five
years the annual consumption of raw
cotton has increased in the United
Kingdom 27.S per cent, on the Continent
l4s per cent, and in the United States 1872
per cent. This in large degree accounts
for the comparative fixity Of England's
cotton trade.
Tho report OF this commission may
be said to focus In these two "conclu-
sions":
tbs high tariffs Of foreign countries have re-
stnoted the export trade Of the United Kingdom
BY excluding British products from markets for
merry supplied By Us but now supplied BY native
industries. These tariffs further enable foreign
countries 70 compete successfully and occasionally
dump In neutral markets"
mo considerable expansion of the trade In cotton
goods can be looked for with those foreign countries
which manufacture for themselves and Impose
tarns: In existing conditions the decline which
has commenced Is likely 10 become more marked;
but moderate reduction of foreign tariffs would
do much 10 increase the volume OF our trade Such
reductions can only be secured by using a general
British tarin to obtain concessions from foreign
Countries
The investigations of the tariff COM
mission have been thorough, and the
best that can be said 70 it's report is
that it Is far from encouraging for the
British industry. Nevertheless, England
exports more than we manufacture.
This is fact which Americans should
keep in mind.

The Red Mans Sense of Humor.

There is more encouragement for the
friends of Lo the Indian in the columns
of the American Anthropologist than in
all the reports OF the Interior Department,
Bureau of Indian Affairs. combined.
From the official point of view the
Indian literature of the time relates
more to rations than to war dances, and
to payments Of cash than to bloody
trails and hostile uprisings. Now the
Anthropologist presents novel picture
of the much misunderstood ward of
the nation. He is not, as poets and
writers of frontier fiction or historical
tales Of the tepee would have it believed.
somber and meditative man, but rather
very entertaining parsonage at times,
if not at all times. The American An
hropologist says of him:
THE idea of the Indian once popular suggests
a tacitun and stod character who smoked his
pipe In silence and stalked reserved and dignlhed
among his fellows. unquestonably the Indian
of the Atlantic slope differed in many respects
from his kinsmcn further west: It may be that
the forcs, indian OF the North and East mbibed
something OF inc splTll OF VIC piiiuo'al "oouS
which. deep and gloomy overspread much
OF his region. II he has no counterpart
in the regions west of the Mississippi. On
occasions OF ceremony and religion the Western
Indian can be both dgnihed and solemn. as BELTS
the occasion: but his nature. II not as bright and
sunny as that OF the polynesan, Is at least as far
removed from moroseness as his disposition Is
from taciturnity. The Indian of the present day
has a fair sense OF humor and is by no means
stranger to Jest. laughter and even repartec."
PersiHage, jests, laughter and verbal
quips and plcasantries have not hereto
fore been regarded as Distinguishing
characteristics of the stoid and taciturn
redskin. If the A'athropologist has
sound reason for its statement, the dill
gent compilers of the Bureau of Indian
Affairs had better brush up their knowl-
edge and revise their conclusions.
