The lead pencil is one of the most common articles in everyday use. and nearly 32O.UO.UO0 pencils are manu- factured in this country every year. To manufacture these millions of pen cils there are requined 10000 tons. or 1.300.OOO cubic feet. of wood. so that each day in the year 300 tons. or gO.0o0 cubic feet. of wood are used for pencils. Since practically all of the wood is red cedar. and since ihe pencil industry is steadily growing. inc supply of red cedar is greatly de- pleted: yet no substitute has been found for it. Leaving out of consider ation the imported pencils. the aver age educated American over lu years of age uses six pencils of home manu- fscture each year. Ten years ago he used less than five. In accordance with it's policy towards the consery1- ton and economic use of commer- cial woods. the forest service has made s careful study of red ce,la. and has come to tho conclusion that if can profitably be grown in regions of it's development.

It seems the speculative market has what is called bargain buyers" and very sensible purchasers they are, says an exchange They are q lot of fine old gouty gentlemen with elegant homes and large bank balances and not often seen on change When q big furry comes on the market and good stocks under bear market are run down to bedrock prices, these fine old gouty gentlemen order their brokers to buy and pay spot cash for the real thing. Then these fine old gOuty gen tlemen put their stocks into their vaults. go home and eat good din ner and wait till their holdings come up to or over par value. When this happens then the fine old fellows march down street again sell their stocks bought at low price at a high figure, deposit the gains to their big bank surplus, go home contented and wait till fools and spectators make another furry. Such is the manner fortunes are made legitimately on Wall street-buy stocks outright which speculation has run them be- low their value and sell them when another speculation has run them above intrinsic worth.

The friends of the president are
 waiting with anxiety for the an-
 nouncement as to whether he will or
 will not speak on the railroad ques- ton at Springfield, o. His advisers are divided in their conviction as to the policy of such an address but they
 agree that if he is going to give his views to the public the sooner he does it the better. He is being implored by hundreds of people who have pc cuniary interests at stake to say re- assuring word and it is known that Secretary Cortelyou who at first ur- gently advised him not to speak on the subject has changed his views and is now coming around to the opin- ion that such an address might be use ful in allaying the uneasiness which is felt in industrial circles. It is said to have been the impression of the delegation of the industrial peace commission which he entertained that a public utterance from him now might be effective in preventing the threatened railroad strike on the western roads. and that a reassuring word from him as to his policies with reference to the roads and corpora tions generally would do much to al- lay the fears of the timid ones who have money to lend but who are afraid to lend it while the conditions are so unsettled. It is thought that it would restore confidence and tend to prevent the financial and industrial peril which now menaces the country

If tax were placed on bachelors it should not be as penalty for not marrying, but because having no one depending on him, he is better able to bear the tax than a family man. But at the same time matrimony should be encouraged It should be encouraged by relieving the father of children, especially of all possible public burdens in the way of taxes. No married man should be made to pay poll tax and his little house, if he have one, should be free from tax ation. The interest on the mortgage which usually rests on it, is heavy tax enough. The bachelor, care free, who thinks nothing of spending as much on good time" as the tax on the little house of the married man. may smile at the statement, but 1t is a fact. that the tax often rests heavily on the working man with wife and little children to provide for. A tax on bachelors should be graded, too. It should be light between his majority and twenty-five. After that 1t should be increased yearly to thir- ty-five.
