Liverpool and Slavery.

although Liverpool has over 700,-
900 inhabitants and boasts of an enor-
nous trade, jewellers in our newer
cities must not think that she has
been commercially great for centuries, .
writes Jerome Hart. ''As a matter OF
fact, Liverpool has reached her present
pre-eminence since California became
a state 1t is true that before that
time there were many wealthy mer-
chants there, but the foundation for
the Liverpool merchants fortunes was
laid in slave trading. John Gladstone,
the father of the grand old man, made
his enormous fortune in slave fading
and slave labor in the West Indies.
William Ewart Gladstone, in his youth,
defended slavery, but in later years
attacked it-after his fathers slave
worked plantations had been sold.
"As l looked at the great city of
Liverpool, with its magnificent system
Of docks and quays. along which 3d.
900 seamen daily walk, could scarce
ly repress my horror when reflected
that it was built upon the bodies of
negro slaves. But then | remembered
that New England's merchants used
to ship rum to Africa, sell the fire.
water to the natives, kidnap them
when they were drunk, jam them be-
tween decks, cross the water to our
southern states. throw overheard the
dead bodies about one day out and then
sell slaves to southern planters at
1000 per cent profit.
This was the foundation OF many
Of New Englands large fortunes. No
wonder that those merchants grand
sons dislike discussions on tainted
money But l found myself contem-
plating New England's slave trade with
less horror than that of Liverpool"

FENCE or MOOSE AsTLeRs.
Twenty-Five Hundred Of Them Used
to a Stone Wall.

A very old Indian tradition says
the New York Suns. that all the bull
moose Of eastern and northern Maine
make journeys to the west shores OF
Moosehead lake at the close of the
year for the purpose OF casting their
antlers. Though the story has passed
for fiction among the Caucausian resi-
dents. there are not a few old hunters
and woodsmen who believe it, and re-
late tales about the abundance of
moose antlers among the maple woods
% miles north of this village.
Charles Anance, half-breed, says
that he filed two boxcars with discard
ed antlers six years ago. and shipped
them TO New York where cutlery manu-
faeturers purchased the lot for knife
handles. He cleared $500 from week s
work.
The first white man who used his
knowledge was old "Cy' Blanchard,
father of Cyrus Blanchard, a member
of Gov. Cobb's council. The old man
was the owner of vast timber tracts
in Piscataquis county. and when the
land was sold to settlers the town of
Blanchard was named for him.
AS he grew old he built a big house
in the north part of the town and sur
rounded 1t with a high stone wall,
GROWING the slate coping with dense
fence of moose antlers. all Of which
had been picked up among the WOODS
west of the lake. About so years ago.
when star route mail line was put
on between Blanchard and Monson,
"a postoffice was established near the
big Blanchard house, and II is still
known as Moosehorn.
More than $500 moose antlers have
been placed on top Of the Blanchard
stone fence since II was built, though
most Of them have been broken by
snow and ice or eaten by insects.
The moose Of Maine drop their ant
lers from December Is to January 1.
though few very aged ones may re-
tain these ornaments until February.
Old hunters say that they could go out
among these woods 80 years ago and
pick up hayrack OF fine antlers in a
forenoon. though they have not been
so plentiful of late.
Though moose antiers will keep for
an indefinite time when housed and
removed from moisture. they fall to
pieces very fast when left In the woods.
Those shed in the winter remain firm
until spring but as soon as warm
weather arrives small borer gets into
them and reduces them to fine powder
in few weeks. Though thousands of
antlers are dropped in the Maine for
ests every winter, no hunter ever finds
| one the next summer.

Value Of Publicity.

The success OF the Germans in
commerce and in manufactures, says
French paper of considerable prom
inence. Is due to the fact that the
German papers daily. weekly and
monthly furnish the commercial and
industrial classes with exact ana
timely information about trace ana
industrial movements in all PARTS of
the world. French daily papers, it
complains, ignore such subjects, Civ
mg space to political polemics, rec
ords OF crimes, etc Much OF the
space given now 10 divers uninterest-
ing things might be more probably
employed in giving daily readers the
records OF the worlds movements in
trade and in industrial development.
To remedy an existing evil, Charles
II. stephan, French writer on econ
omio and commercial subjects, has
proposed cooperative press move
ment by which the facts about French
products will be better exploited ana
brought before the outside world
His plan Is TO have the leading papers
Of Paris and the large cities devote q
half of the front page to foreign trade
and industrial movements. Ii this
is done it is sure to be followed by
the papers OF the small provincial
towns till it becomes the recognized
way of recording such significant
facts. other publications technical,
Industrial commercial. etc.--are sure
to follow. The value OF sucn ser.
vice no man may measure. 1t will
give to the merchants and manufac-
turers of France, gratis, information
that would cost considerable money
IL they had to so out to get ii or
to send agents after 1t. Many lead.
Ing members of the French Govern.
ment are lending encouragement to
this movement, for they hope to see
In its success the still greater sue
cess of France.

The Farmers Orchard.

The land owner. large or small,
who tilis his own soil. II guilty Of
mismanagemsnt II he has not an or
shard of the staple fruits. Tho pre-
vailing trouble comes in the lack Of
care or the improper care of farm
orchards. In the outset the farmer
planted his orchard with the idea In
mind that that would be the last
work necessary, except perhaps. to
occasionally NOW the grass or weeds
In 1t. until the bearing time. This
idea II grossly misfounded. The or
ehard needs pruning and cultivating
and spraying. the first two duties be-
Ing necessary from the flrst year that
the trees are planted, and the spray

the trees have arrived at an age for
bearing and It IL the spraying that IL

Accidents and FATIGUE.

II was shown by an exhaustive m
Quiry of the subject In France that
the number or accidents increases
progressively hour by hour during the
first half day; that after the rest
at midday the number of accidents
Is notably less than In the last hour
of the foreneen; that In the course Of
the second half day accidents again
become from hour to hour progress.
sively more numerous, and that the
maximum number of accidents toward
the end OF the second half day is
notably higher than the correspond.
Ing maximum In the morning.
The influence of the workingmen's
fatigue on the production OF accidents
stands out clearly from these obser-
vations. and II is easy to understand
how this comes about when 1t is re.
membered that with fatigue the at.
tention readily diminishes and dsap-
pears. The conclusion, therefore, 10
that In order to produce diminu-
ton in the number of accidents 1t
would be sufficient to intercalate in
the middle OF each half day OF work
a period Of repose, naturally not SO
long as that at midday, but the length
OF which remains to be determined
In fact, one would only have to apply
to the manual labor of adults the
measures which for long time have
been put into practice for children
as regards their intellectual labor

VOLTS skill in Guiding Enemies.

The wolves now found in Jackson
county are In size between the coyote
of the Western plains and the big
wolves found In the Ozark region.
In general appearance they bear re-
semblance to the Scotch collie dog
They live in unfrequented places. gen.
orally in the timber or along the
streams. and favorite abode is In
caves or under overhanging lodges
of stone.
Scratching out a shallow hole In
the ground they line 1t with small
sticks and dry leaves. Here the
mother wolf takes care of her young
while the father is securing the coun-
try for miles around in search of
food. He is rarely seen by day, anu
then only for an instant, for he seems

weeds or brush. ais tawny hide max
ing it easy Tor aim to disappear from
sight.
II is said that he has an especial
liking for mutton, especially young
lambs, which fall an easy prey to him.
and that he Is most frequently found
where sheep are numerous. But h.,
will not turn his nose up at tender
little pigs, and when he cannot fin |
other things more to his liking he will
not scruple to become a common
chicken thief.
But his skill in GLIDING his enc
mics. especially human. is remarlxa-
BILE, and this is one of the most ag
gravating things about him. II a
hunter succeeds In getting within
gun-shot of him the chances are ten
to one that no damage will be in
fiicted. His hide is so thick and tough
and Is covered with such heavy coat
OF fur that an ordinary discharge from
q shotgun has little or no effect.
With an ease that is exasperating ne
simply lopes out Of danger and Is
soon lost In the brush.

Tale of a Head-Hunter.

Here is a story of the head-hunting
|Dyaks of Dutch Borneo which recently
appeared in the British North Borneo
Herald: "Hathnaveng, tribesman,
had been persuaded by Dutch mission
aries to abandon the practice of head
hunting. He remained true to his
promise, and for time led quiet life.
Recently however, he fell in love with
a Dyak maiden. The girl, although
returning his passion, disdained his
offer of marriage because he no longer
INDUCED in the ancient practice OF
cutting of and bringing home the
heads of the enemies of the tribe.
Hathlayeng, goaded by the taunts of
the girl, who told him to dress in
women's clothes in future. as he no
longer had the courage of a man, quilt
ted the village and remained away a
considerable time.
When he returned he entered his
sweetheart's hut, carrying a sack on
his shoulders. He opened it and four
human heads rolled upon the bamboo
floor. At the sight of the trophies
the girl at once took him lack into
her favor and. fiinging her arms
around his neck, embraced him pas
sionately. You wanted heads declar-
ed her lover. I have brought them.
Do you recognize them?' Then, to her
horror, she saw thew were the heads
of her father, her mother, her brother
and of young man who was Hath
navengs rival for her affections.
"Hathnaveng was Immediately seiz-
ed by some of the tribesmen and by
way of punishment was placed in a
small bamboo structure such as is COM
monty used by the Dyaks for pigs and
allowed To starye to death"

Catching Cattle in Australia.

On many big runs in the western
part of Queensland, Australia. vast
herds of wild and unbranded cattle
run on the divisional ranges. In
slack times men go out and camp
among the mountains and attempts
are made to drive them from their
fartnesses. When success attends
the venture. the young stock are
brought into the home paddock,
but the old cattle are shot down
wherever sighted. The men are
armed with Winchesters, Colt re-
volver and sheath knives. Big cat
tie are often hand-thrown on horse
back. The stockman catches the tail
and with a sudden twist throws the
animal. He then jumps of quickly
and ties 1t before 1t has time to re-
cover from the shock of the buster.
