A BRoTHERLY BROTHER.
He Meets with Good Fortune in Jamaica
and Shares His Wealth.

The town of Paterson, \. j., is buzz
zing over the report that DIR. II. b. Nor
gan of that place is shortly to become the
possessor of Il million dollars through the
generosity of his brother, DIR. John Nor
gan, the eye specialist of Boston. The
report is that DIR. John Morgan recently
made S1,oOO0OO in Il speculation, and
that he Immediately proffered his broth
er, who is in moderate circumstances, Il
substantial share in his good fortune
DIR. Morgan confirms the report and thus
explains the source of his unexpected
wealth. Several years ago my brother
DR. John Morgan, purchased as a specu-
lation, 300 acres of copper mine prop
erty in the island of Jamaica. He had
no idea that anything would come of it.
but some time ago heavy rains came and
washed out vast amounts of copper. \
couple of hundred men were hired and
put to work and at the present time the
property is worth Millions" Recently
he visited his brothers sanitarium in
Boston and assisted him in an opera
ton on the eyes of Il prominent Back
Bay society woman. The operation
proved so successful and the specialist
was so well pleased at the skill of his
country brother that he told him of his
intention of giving him S1,0O0.000 short
ly. The Paterson occualst thought it n
joke at first, but he changed his mind
when three letters came from his brother,
telling him of his wonderful fortune.

OUR CROP OF NAVAL STORES.
We Lead the World in Production of
R0Sin and Turpentine.

Rosin and turpentine, known tech
nicaliy as naval stores from the fact
that for many years their principal uses
We're maritime, are produced from two
species of southern pine, the long leaf
and the Cuban, but it is quite probable
that a number of other species will be
employed within the next twenty-five
years.
The crop of naval stores, including 4.
100000 pounds of rosin and 16. 25O. 00u
casks of spirits of turpentine, has an APP
proXimate annual value to those en-
gagged in it of at least $30,00O,0O0.
For how many centuries commercial
use has been made of the sap of the
pine cannot be determined with any de-
gree of assurance, but according to The
National Magazine the custom was gen
eral in south France at the time of the
invasion of England by the Spanish
amanda.
For many years the industry was con
fined to the south of France and Aus
tria, where it still fourishes on small
scale, and it was not until 100 years ago
that intelligent effort was made to es-
tablish it on this continent.
For fifty years or so the Carolinas
and Virginia were the chief turpentine
producing states, but with the opening
up of the pine forests of Georgia the
scene of operations was gradually
shifted southwark, until before very long
Georgia had become the center of the
industry. At the present time Florida
is in the lead, with Georgia and Ala
bama close second and third. The de
pletion of Florida s forests, however, is
gradually extending the turpentine area
westward, and it is quite possible il
twenty-five years time Louisiana, Missis
sippi and Texas will be in the lead.

And lost is all the wonder

When Haunting flags of crimson

At the Years solemn grave,
