A Nation of Salt Eaters

The United States consumes 26,S72,zoo
barrels of salt annually, or barrel Tor
every three persons in the land. Last
year it went abroad for only I,I5I,I33
barrels. In 1880 63-5 per cent OF the salt
used in our country was of home pro-
duction. Last year, o57 per cent OF the
product consumed was produced within
the borders of this country. In 1880 the
consumption in this country was only
Q, 384,263 barrels. Thus we see that the
people of the United States are using
annually three times as much salt as they
used twenty-six years ago.
The chief salt producing states are
Michigan and New York. Statistics re-
Gently gathered by the government show
that the combined output of these two
states amounts to more than tYo-thirds
of the total production of the United
States.
No attempt has ever been made to
ascertain what per cent of the salt con-
sumed in the United States is used for
culinary purposes. The annual output
is largely consumed in the industries OF
meat packing, fish curing, dairying and
the like The chlorination of gold ore
quantities of salt in the form of brine
are used in the manufacture of soda
ash, caustic soda and other salts. Salt
is cheap. The average price for 1905
was little over 20 cents barrel, which
is lower than that reported in any pre-
vious year. Dry salt, of course, brings a
higher price than brine. The average
price for dry salt last year was 3I.5I
cents a barrel

"Well?" 49,. co..
ct may be because of your sugges-
tom"
Never mind that. Tell me what you
think, sir" Mackworth replied, with
eagerness.
1T now occurs to me that there was
something not altogether unfamiliar in
the figure, not only in the outlines, but
in the attitude it assumed"
Mackworth, with his hands upon the
arms of his chair, leaned forward to-
ward the young man, on whose face he
fixed his eyes with earnestness, and said !:
"Who is it this figure resembles? ?"
"That 1 cannot tell YOU"
at is your duty, sir" the inspector be-
gan in rigid tones. Remember that on
your word may lie the possibility of free
ing an innocent woman of blame, of
convicting scoundrel of his guilt"
Its not that replied Quinton, rerv-
ously. Il can't tell you because don't
know myself. acknowledge that like.
ness existed, but to whom ! cannot say
Mackworth felt unable to gauge the
sincerity of this assertion. He suspected
that Quinton hesitated to name the man
he supposed himself to have seen be-
cause of the consequences which might
follow to the individual.
1T may prove of the utmost importance
that you remembered" remarked the in
spector.
81 know that Once set working my
mind may find and supply the clew
eventually, but at present that's impos-
sible."
'Do you think you could recognize
him if seen under similar circuin-
stances?"
q can't say; it's possible I might"
"The experiment is worth trying, at
all events"
Certainly" said the young man
eagerly.
Then, sir, when I have prepared my
plan will let you know, and we will
give it trial-a fair trial."
Il will do my best to help you" an
swered Quinton, as he rose to depart

upon Veronica.

Valerius stated Mrs. Dumbarton has
told me how kind your father has been
and hope to call and thank him to-
morrow or the day after"
81 am sure he will be glad to see you,
replied Quinton.
''We will all work in a common cause

eyes, now full of anxiety, upon the young
man.
"And we must succeed" added Quin.
ton, emphatically.
Veronica cast glance at him full Of
gratitude. Her belief in his ability was
1nbounded; what he sought to do he
must certainly accomplish.
THAT brings me to mention what
was anxious you, Mrs. Dumbarton
should first year." said the young man
in his slow, deliberate manner.

the time the tragedy occurred. He can
not have been far off from the scene,
and he may, if he's innocent, be able to
tell something of the man who is not"
"You are right" said Valerius. Il
didn't regard it in that light before. You
must tell Mackworth what you have
seen"
"What strikes me as being suspicious
is this Quinton said, his deliberate
manner impressing his hearers.
'Whatf" Olive Dumbarton asked, her
eyes riveted on his face.
THAT ne hasn't come forward to make
any statement"
Quite true; it is certainly strange,
assented Galbraith. "But, supposing foi
the sake of argument he had none to
make, that he went away before anything
occurred"
Even so, he might volunteer the state
ment that he was in the Hexton Road
on the night of the tragedy half an hour
before It happened, and saw nothing that
aroused his suspicious. His absentihe
himself looks bad to my mind"
u wonder what Mackworth will thini
of your statement" said Valerius, medi.
tatively.
"That we will soon know, for viii
call and see him early tomorrow"
~Do, Quinton," Olive Dumbartor
urged, her Imagination 5magnifying the
| importance Of his statement, "and per.
haps you will find time to come and tel
me what he says"
Il shall certainly call and let yor
know" the young man replied, as he rose
and said goodnight.
II will take my leave also" said Va
lerius "And now, Olive, keep brave
heart"
As the two men passed through tht
garden the younger said:
"Our way together lies but a short dis
lance"
"Ah, yes; You live next door; but ]
you are not in hurry perhaps you vii
show me where you saw the foreignel
stand that night"
Certainly" responded Quinton- Then
as they came on to the road, he added

any use or may not serve as clew."
"a clew?" Olive Dunbarton repeated,
anxiously.

think of it before"
"What is it, Quinton?" she asked,
earnestly.
"You know that night"

"Of a man.

FARMER. HOG ANo HoMlNy,

II is unnecessary fer The Sun to re-
capitulate the Sea Island cotton crop
for she season which is now nearing q
close, for it would be sad story to
the honest farmer whose hopes at the
beginning of the season we're so high.
AT any rate, it may be added that the
output has fallen far short OF that
whieh vas anticipated, with the result
that the cotton crop this year, as it has
been in years before, was q dismal
failure, brought about not by a de-
crease 10 acreage, bus by unfsvorable
conditions OF the weather.
But who lie to suffer for this calam-
ity? Not the fellow who has plenty OF
money with which to purchase che
cotton, but by the farmer, who as a
rule is dependent upon his products,
and who must realize financial bene-
fits therefrom.
The time has come when planters
should devote their time aud their
land and their energy TO more sub
stantial products Of the soil than cot.
ton. They must get to raising more
hog aud hominy, aud, TO an extent,
abandon the cultivation OF cotton.
By this statement The Sun does not
wish TO be understood that this indus
try must be entirely eliminated from
the farm; but by decreasing the acre.
age the loss by adverse conditions, II
any, will not be so serious, and the de-
crease OF acreage must naturally mean
the increase OF marketable value.
II our planters will take the advice
here offered, and will suFn their attep.
ton to the cultivation OF corn, Oats,
hay, potatoes, sugarcane and other di.
versified crops which viii OH the cribs
aud barns and smoke-hOuses, they
will find themselves great deal bet
ter of in the due course OF time.
Let the farmer quit raising fiye-cent
cotton and buying twelve-eent bacon.

North Dakota seems to have found
we protect the people from frauds in
manufactured products?" A new law
has recently gone into effect designed
to make it impossible to deceive peo-
pie into buying inferior and adulter-
ated paint under the impression that
they are getting real paint, viz: pure
white lead and linseed oil.
The North Dakota lawmakers did
not attempt to absolutely prohibit the
inferior pigments, or mixtures of
pigments. They adopted the slogan,
Let the label TELL" and then left to
the people to buy whichever they
wished.
Under this plan, if any one wishes
to buy mixture of rock-dust. ground
quartz and other cheap elements
which are found in many paints and
so-called white leads" no one can
object; for they do it with their eyes
open. But if they prefer genuine
white lead and inseed oil, they can
be sure of getting it, for none but
the genuine article can bear a label
which says pure white 1ead.'
In all other States mixtures are Of
ten sold as pure white lead which
contain little sometimes no-real
white lead.
1t would seem that were this same
principle applied to food, beverages
and all other prepared articles, where
deception is practiced upon the buy
er, the question would be solved. It
would leave us free to buy what we
pleased, but would protect us from
unwittingly buying what we did not
want

Symbolism in JeweIrv.

Symbolism is being introduced into
5ewelry with happy effect by an artist
who designs beautiful ornaments for
women. Sometimes the setting SYM
bolizes an attribute of the wearer and
again it relates to the history or le-
gend of the jewel itself. His master
piece is a pendant just finished for
the wife of a millionaire banker. She
took to him beautiful emerald and
asked to have it set in a symbolic
pendant. The artist had read that
when the Spaniards conquered Peru,
large collections of emeralds were
found among the boards of the Incas.
These were taken back to Europe.
The fact of the discovery was utilized
in the artists design. The gem was
set Rugged to the bosom of a little
Aztec god. In his hands, which met
above the jewel, he held a small dia-
mond, Stimulating lamp, and he was
peering wonderingly into the luminous
depths of the green stone.

CRUISING for pereIIcts.

The excellent work in destroying q
dangerous derelict last week, begun
by the Tacoma and completed by the
Columbia, gives renewed point to the
suggestion hitherto made in these
columns that vessels of the navies of
the world might with peculiar profit
be employed in tracking and destroy
ing the abandoned hulks which dot
the seas and which present one of the
one of the most serious dangers to
navigation, says the New York Trib-
une. OF the need that derelicts sha.A
be destroyed as speedily as possible
there can be no question. Many
known accidents and disasters have
been due to them. and there is rea-
son for supposing that many, perhaps
most. of the mysterious disappear.
ances Of vessels might truly be ex-
planned on the ground that they had
come into collision with those wan
dering destroyers. Carrying no lights,
making no noise, giving no signal of
any kind, often lying SO low in the
water as to be scarcely perceptible,
and heavy and solid almost against
which a vessel can scarcely be guard
ed in the dark and collision with
which is always serious and often
disastrous.
