A Harder Job.

The tributes to the popularity of Mr..
Hammond's son pleased the father,
who was the oldest summer resident
Of Shrubville. They pleased him the
more because they came from natives,
OF the soil, whose good opinion could
not be forced in any way.

yours" said Capt Hollis Towne, and
Capt. Lothrop James added his word
of approval.

ACT AS SPUR TO MANS PRIDE.
Love and Belief Are Powerful Agents
for Reformation.

Love and belief in a man can never
hurt him. 1t will always act as a
spur to his pride, which is invariably
close to mans love, whilst it has
little or nothing to do with woman's.
Even when the schoolboy falls in
love with the little girl in pinafores,
his first instinct is to acquit himself
in her eyes in some magnificent way
to knock out some other boy, or in
timidate foe.
This instinct remains with men I'm
til they die, just as girls from the
cradle or inspired by love seek beauty
to appear lovely in the eyes of their
adorers.
And the masculine pride and PROV
ess and strength are what the wise
girl will use in her desire to reform
some man who Is merely weak.
Nagging drives such men into the
depths Every look of derision, snub,
insult, sinks the iron deeper into their
souls.-Exchange

Wood Used in Barrels.

Upward of 15O, 100000 barrels and cir
cular packages are manufactured in
the United States annually. Few peo-
pie, except those whose business it is
to know, realize the eXtensiveness of
the cooperage industry in this country.
The heaviest demand comes from the
cement business The flour business
ranks next, closely followed by sugar.
Containers for fence staples, bolts, nuts,
nails, and packages for roasted coffee,
spices, crockery, fruits and vegetables
follow in the order named, while glass
manufacturers, baking-powder compa-
nies, liquor distillers and candy, tobac-
co and cheese packers are big users OF
barrels. The demand for barrels for
molasses, oil, lard and pork is also
enormous, while dry paint, glue, snuff,
oatmeal, screws, castings and general
hardwood articles annually increase the
demand on. the cooperage supply.
While the amount of expenditure for
barrels can be quite closely estimated
for given year, it is not possible to
say how many barrels are in actual use.
The life of barrel is put down at one
year by the trade, but this is far from
true. A majority of barrels are used
many times. They begin as sugar or
flour barrels, and are then sold to the
farmer for shipping his produce to the
market. 1t may be that they are re-
turned to him several times, carrying
potatoes to the market on the first trip
and tobacco or lettuce on the next, each
cargo being lighter in weight than the
previous one, owing to the weakened
condition of the barrel. Finally the
barrel may serve out its life work as a
refuse receptacle, and in the end can be
used for fuel. Thus it may be said that
barrel fills as useful career as almost
any other manufactured article, and its
life is much longer than a season.
The demand for barrels is steadily
growing, because modern machinery
has made it possible to make them for
the trade cheaper than almost any 9TH
er form of durable package That it is
the most convenient form of package
has long been acknowledged. The tim
ber used in tight barrels has to be Sc
lected withlcare, as it must not only be
water-tight, but barrels for the oil,
whiskey and paint trades in addition
must be capable of resisting high inter
nal pressure. The lumber used for this
work must be carefully selected, that
cured by slow air drying under shelter
being the most satisfactory.

in Chicago testified on the stand that

Their Marks.

The seal or signet ring" said a
jeweler, ''once had very practical
use. In the Middle Ages, when no
body but the priests could write. men
stamped documents with their signet
rings, as the illiterate now make their
marks.
''The signet rings of noblemen bore
the owners crest or arms. The rings
of merchants bore intricate mono
grams, trademark or the like. There
are certain old continental firms that
preserve in cabinets the seal rings
worn by their founders-rings whose
seals are inscribed with the trade
marks still in USE"
