 Very Valuable Product.
 The sawdust man in New York is q very important business man. The wholesale sawdust dealer advertises all kinds of sawdust and requests that you will telephone your needs so that there may be an early delivery.
 It used to be that any one who want ed sawdust went to the sawmill and asked for us much as he wanted. There was only one kind of sawdust in the good old days and that was an unim- portant product. which anybody could have for the asking. Now the saw dust wholesaler will tell you that saw dust is d very valuable product and that the sawdust business is offering greater opportunities.
 There are about sixty kinds of saw dust on the market, so says the saw dust expert, and all of them have their stated uses ill the realm of trade.
 All the way from the preparation of food to the polishing of precious metal ranges the usefulness of sawdust. The hardwood dusts are used for polishing in some jewellers shops and cheaper sawdusts are used for polishing less valuable metal work. In packing and making cushions. for the covering of floors and In the fur business, sawdust is usefnl-New York Herald.

cAUsTIC CRITICS.
Whsn Poet CIashes With Poet Then
 Comes . War of Wit.

 Tennyson has been severely handled by his fellow writers. Bulwer-Lytton killed three birds with a stone when he spoke of Tennyson's
 Jingling medley of purloined conceits. Out-babying Wordsworth and out-glitter-
 ing Keats.
 George Meredith said of the Holy Grail' that "the lines are satin lengths, the figures Sevres china. Why. this stuff is not the muse-its musery. The man has got hold of the muses clothes line and hangs it with jewelry." The "Idylls of the King" are yards of linen drapery for the delight of ladies'"
 But, then, Tennyson once said of Meredith that reading him was like wading through glue. And if Meredith called Matthew Arnold ''a dandy Isaiah." George Moore has set it down that "in George Meredith there is noth- ing but crackjaw sentences, empty and unpleasant in the mouth as sterile nuts." not a particularly happy bit of style in itself.
