Millions For Barrels.

WASHINGTON, D. c., November 30
The farmer with his potatoes and his
apples, the miller with his flour and
meal, the hardware man with his nails
the cement manufacturer, and the manv
other users of the faithful slack barrel.
that combination of slaves, hoops and
heading, which is not intended to hold
water or something stronger in fluid
form, used forest products last year hav-
ing the enormous value of SIS, 800, 253.
The average man would little suspect
that the humble barrel plays so impor-
tant part in the expense accounts of
the American farmer and manufacturer,
yet figures compiled by the census in CO.
operation with the United States Forest
Service develop this interesting truth.
Moreover, statistics taken directly from
reports from $50 cooperage mills in all
parts of the United States show an in
crease of 81, 500, 6SS, or II per cent, in
the value of last years product over that
of the previous year.
In distinct contrast to tight cooperage
stock, which in the main requires oak
timber for its raw material, slack coop
erage stock, particularly slaves and head
ing, utilized in greater or less degree
most of the commercially important trees
in the country, and for this reason its
manufacture was far more widely dis
tributed than is the case with that of
tight cooperage stock. Twenty-one spe
cies of wood contributed to the total
slack stave production last year. Nearly
two-thirds of the output, however, was
manufactured from the four species, red
gum, pine, elm and beech, in the order
named.
The figures disclose an interesting
movement in the industry in the substi-
tuition of less expensive woods for those
which for many years were drawn upon
most heavily for slack stave material,
but which, owing to growing scarcity
and advancing cost, are rapidly beng
displaced. In 1906 elm slaves were manu-
featured in larger quantities than those
from any other wood, and constituted
nearly one-fourth of the total production
for that year, with pine and red gum oc-
cupying second and third places, respec-
lively. Last year gum jumped to first
place, pine to second, while elm, with a
falling off of Sc per cent in production,
dropped to third place. Beech, maple,
spruce, chestnut and ash followed in the
order named.
While slack stave and heading produc-
ton was reported last year from prac-
tically all the States engaged in the
manufacture of lumber, a considerable
percentage of the stock, in fact, being
turned out as a by-product of lumber,
the industry was to an extent localized,
the five States of Pennsylvania, Missouri,
Michigan, Arkansas and Virginia, in the
order named, contributing Sc. 8 per cent
of the total production. The distribution
of the industry of hoop manufacture is
much more limited than that of slaves
and heading, and is due primarily to the
fact that this commodity is made chiefly
from elm timber. Ohio led in the guam
tity of hoops manufactured, closely fol-
lowed by Indiana, the output of these
two States forming 67.3 per cent of the
total production.

THE WITCH's CURSE FULFILLED.

Close by the road, on the outskirts Of
the old seaport town of Bucksport, on
the Penobscot river, is small family
cemetery. Within its Enclosure sleep the
Bucks, the blueblooded folk who first
settled the town and bequeathed it their
name and legend.
The largest and most conspicuous mon
ument IN the cemetery is tall granite
shaft, which is in plain sight of the high
way. On one side is the inscription:
tCol. John Buck, the founder of Bucks
port, A. d., 1862. Born in Haverhill,
Mass. ,171S. Died March IS, 1885,
On the other side is the single word
Buck" and also something not wrought
bv the marble worker On the smooth
surface of the pedestal is a curious out
line, which can be easily imagined to
be foot of normal size. The people
who say that it is foot believe in the
legend which has oft been told in Bucks
port.
The story is that Col. Jonathan Buck
was a very harsh man and the leading
spirit in his day and generation. He
was the highest civil authority, and his
word was law in the community in which
he resided. He was an out and out Pur-
itan, and to him witchcraft was the in
carnation of blasphemy. Thus, so the
story goes, when certain woman was
accused of witchcraft, at the first clam
orings of the populace Col. Buck ordered
that she be imprisoned, and later she
was sentenced to be executed as witch.
The execution day came and the
woman went to the gallows, curslng her
Judge with such terrible words that the
people shuddered, but the magistrate
stood unmoved. All was ready and the
hangman was about to perform his duty,
when the woman turned to Col. Buck,
and. raising one hand toward heaven, she
said:
Jonathan Buck, listen to these words,
the last my tongue shall utter. 1t is the
spirit of the only living God which bids
me speak to you. You will soon die, and
and over your grave they will erect a
stone. that all may know the spot where
your bones lay and crumble to dust.
Upon that stone the imprint Of my foot
shall appear, and for all time, after your
accursed race has vanished from the face
of the earth, will the people from far
and near know that you murdered a
woman.
She then turned to her executioners,
and another act tfanSplfeu 10 MAKE
part of American colonial history. The
witch curse" had been almost forgot
ten, until the monument was erected to
the founder of Bucksport.
1t had been in position hardly month
when a faint outline was discovered on
it. 1t grew more and more distinct that
it was the outline of foot. The old
legend was revived. :,
They said that the ''witch's curse"
had been fulfilled. An attempt was made
to remove the stain, but every effort
only tended to make it palmer.
The imprint of the foot is there to-
day as plain as ever. Amateur photog-
raphers have taken pictures Of it, and a
visit to the Buck cemetery to see the
'.witch's foot is one of the pastimes of
every summer visitor to the pretty little
town. Exchange.

The Shoe Situation.

More orders for medium grade shoes
have come to New England manufacture
ers, until there is sufficient business to
keep all factories making these goods
fully occupied during the balance Of the
wear. Cutting of spring shoes has also
begun, and contracts for these descrip-
tons are coming forward freely. Prices
threaten to be a disturbing element if
the rise in leather is not checked, shoe
houses being near the point at which no
profit can be made Most factories have
all the leather needed for the present,
but tanners are rejecting duplicate orders
at former terms. -Dun's Review, Nov

BATHS SHIP BUILDING.
What Record for Year Now Drawing to
Close Shows.

While this has not been the best year
Bath ever had in ship building by any
means, it has not been the worst. While
during the past decade there has been
but one year when smaller number of
vessels were launched, 1905, there have
been three years when the tonnage has
been less.
The Edward B. Winslow, which launch
ed November oath, is the tenth vessel
sent overheard from Bath yards this year
and there is but one more which is likely
to leave the ways before 1909 rolls
around, that one being the four-master
at the New England yard which is being
built for Captain James W. Hawley.
A table of the number of vessels built
during the past decade is as follows:

Alcohol as a Cause of Crime, Insanity
and Pauperism.

Summing up in his article on "Alconol
and the Individual'' in the Christmas NC
Cures, DR.. Henry Smith Williams says;
'Tt will be observed that these estimates,
ascribing from one third to one-halt OF the
recognized poverty of the Fatherland to
the effects of alcohol, are singularly IN
harmony with the estimates made 1oI
England by British investigators ana ana
with the careful statistics compiled Tor
America by the Committee OF F + y
Such correspondence cannot well De
accidental. They give secure warrant
for the belief that at least one-third OF
all the recognized pauperism in the most
highly civilized communities OF Chrlsten-
dom results from bodily and mental me e.
fficiency due to alcoholic indulgence. "A
similar correspondence of testimonyshows
as we have seen, that the same cause is
responsible for the mental overthrow
of fully one-fourth of all the unfortunates
who are sent to asylums for the insane;
for the misfortunes of two-fifths OF neg
lected or abandoned children; and tor tne
moral delinquencies of at least half OF the
convicts in our prisons and OF not iess
than four-ffths of the inmates OF our
