Holidays and the Professions

TT is rather curious how some of the pro-
i fessions are affected by holidays. For
example, during the week before Christmas
even the most successful eye doctors have
practically nothing to do, simply because peo-
pie who need to have their eyes treated prefer
to postpone the disagreeableness until the
brief season of jolification is over.
With dentists it is the same way. Nobody
cares to go into the torture chair during the
holiday period, unless he is suffering from
toothache. But naturally as soon as the fun
making is over there is a rush of business.
With the chiropodst, on the other hand, it
is curiously otherwise. People do not wish to
be uncomfortable during a period of enjoy
ment, and so for the two three days irnme-
diatey preceding a holiday they flock in to
have their feet doctored many of them, in
deed, that there is always a noticeable drop in
business after the holiday. Likewise with the
manicure; the reason, however, being some
what different. People wish to look their best
on holiday occasions, when they wear their
finest clothes and fix themselves up and ac-
cOrdingly they drop in upon the nail expert and
have their hands beautitied. 1t is the same
way with the professional hairdresser and
scalp specialist. Their business is to beautify
people. and so it happens that they are in
variably overworked Just before holiday.
1t will be noticed that all of these relate to
the and improvement of the person, as
distinguished from clothing and ornament; ;
which latter belong in a category entirely apart
and have nothing to do with the practice of the
professions here under consideration.

DOLLARS LOOKED TOO NEW.
Caused Scare in the Business Circles
of California.

There has been a funny counterfeit
scare out in southern California, espe-
cially in Los Angeles and San Diego.
All at once large number of silver
dollars dated 1878 made their appear
ance in business circles. They
seemed to spring out of the ground.
1t was not long until nearly every
body had some Of the money. Then
some one started the story that all
the money was counterfeit. Because
the money was all new-loOking, as II
it were just out of machine, a great
scare resulted and people refused long
er TO accept the dollars. The police
got busy and an appeal was made to
the secret service. Several specimens
of the alleged counterfeit were sent
to Chit Wiki, who at once pronounced
them genuine-as good as Uncle Sam
ever turned out in his life. 1t was
discovered that many of these dollars
had been lying in the subtreasury at
San Francisco for years without be-
ing put into circulation. The sub
treasurer died some time ago and a
new man was appointed. In this way
some OF the none, got into circula.

Turkish Labor Too Cheap.

An American manufacturer Of laun.
dry machinery tried to introduce it
into Smyrna, Turkey, but Consul
Ernest l.. Harris has reported that so
long as the price of labor in that
Turkish city remains SO low the prac-
tice will continue of doing the wash
ing at home, and there will be no OPP
portunity for the sale of laundry ma.
chinery. OF late years in Smyrna it
has become the practice, he says, to a
certain extent to send the washed
linen to public laundries for ironing
and starching, but even this is ceas-
ing. Specifications were drawn up for
the establishment Of a laundry after
the American plan, and careful consid-
Grafton was given to the price of coal
and labor. 1t was found that the mar
gin was so small that the undertaking
was bound to be failure.

A table issued by the United States
Geological Survey gives succinct
statement of our mineral wealth for the
calendar years from 1891 to 1906.
The grand total for 1879; was S6l6,
992. $50; for 1906, 81 500, 81, jG-. This
shows an increase in ten years of near
ly 200 per cent.
For 1906 our metallic products were
worth $3.50, 1lO, S56;our nonmetallic prod
nets, Sl,O1G, BOG, 100; with $500, 600
worth unspecified. The largest item
was pig iron, which was worth 500,
100000, or something more than one
fourth of the whole value.
The Increase in orr mineral wealth Is
impressive, but it suggests the time
when it will be exhausted, This makes
the phenomenal increase somewhat OF

The democracy entered the campaign
of 1896 under the leadership of the boy
orator of the Platte, young man and
comparatively unknown, who yet led
grandly an undisdiplined but devoted
mob to the most intrepid assault on in
trenched privilege recorded in American
history. The same leader, four years
later had not yet sufficiently been
tested by time and experience to impress
himself on the brain and conscience OF
the country, while the party was still
as in 90, a house divided against itself
In 1908 the democracy will go into the
fight under the same leader, time tried
fire tested a leader whom all Americans
are proud of; leader with stainless rec
ord and of unimpeachable greatness.
1t will enter the campaign with prlnci-
pies and policies which, like its leader,
have stood the test of fire and acid and
emerged pure gold 1t will enter the
campaign strengthened and inspired by
unity where before it was cursed by
dissension. Who shall say that these
changed conditions will not contribute
toward different and glorious resultY

RAILROAD TIES.

A hundred million ties n year are be-
ing used by the railroads of the country,
according to calculations made under
the direction Of the Forest Service. The
railroads paid $50, 600, 600 for ties in
1906. and used timber equivalent to the
whole product Of 600, 900 acres of for.
est.
The average price paid was 4S cents
per tie. Approximately three fourths
of ina ties were hewn and one-fourth
sawed.
Oak, the chief wood used for ties, fur
nishes more than Al per cent, nearly
one half of the whole number, while the
Southern pines, which rank second, con.
tribute about ons.sixth Douglas fir
and cedar, the next two, with approx
mately equal quantities, supply less
than one.tifteenth apiece.
Ten per cent of the ties purchased
were treated with preservatives either
before they were purchased or at the
treating plant of the railroad company
AT least ten railroad companies are OPP
Grating their own plants for the preser-
walton of their construction material.
With nearly 300, coo miles of railroad
trackage and approximately $500 ties
to the mile, there are over 800 600, 900
ties constantly subject to wear and de-
cay. The railroads report that in the
form of ties cedar lasts eleven years,
cypress ten years and redwood nine
years.
OF the many forms in which wood is
used ties are fourth in cost sawed lum
Der being first, hrewood second, and
shingles and la,hs third. 1t has been
calculated that the amount OF wood
used each year in ties is equivalent to
the product of 100000 acres of forest
and that to maintain every tie in the
track two trees must be growing. Wash

Dane presented herself at the doctors
Office and read and chatted till he took
her home in his buggy. Mr.. Dane
grew better rapidly, and two weeks
from the first day of his illness went
back to the store. That night he
told Bessie that he thought their
worst trouble was over and he wasn't
likely to lose anything. But he
thought, as she had engaged to do
so, she would better read for the doc
tor till the month was out.
At the end of that time Bessie found
herself not only in better health and
spirits, but she had learned to love
the fresh sweet morning, and found
that she could not give up her early
walks. In these she was often join.
ed by Mrs. Watson, who, being a
woman, told the secret at last, but she
did it in her own pleasant way, so
that Bessie laughed with the others
at the little woman's strategem.
