How soRREL Is PRESERVED.
Curious Industry Of French AgrIcut
tural Community.

A curious agricultural industry is
being protitably carried ON at Ware
dales. near Meaux, France. 1t consists
in the manufacture OF preserved sorrel,
which is put up in tins or small casks
and exported to all parts Of the world
for use as culinary and table Access
sorry, says the Scientific American.
This industry was started at Ware
dales In the year 1860, but it still re-
mains practically unknown to the
world at large 1t requires a motive
power Of about eight horsepower
while a quantity of steam represent
ing II horsepower is also used fol
boiling and cooking purposes. AS the
water used must be extremely pure,
an artesian well has been sunk in the
grounds Of the factory, and yields
supply OF the necessary medium which,
like the immortal Bayard, is sans re-
proche.
Sorrel can only be grown four years
in succession upon the same land,
which must then be put under other
crops for about IL years Hence the
land bought up for the purpose covers
a superficial area Of 100 hectares 1896
acres). When picked tor which so
women are employed| the leaves are
conveyed as quickly as possible to the
factory; here they are carefully wash
ed by mechanical means and are then
well cooked in specially designed di-
gesters or boilers.
This interesting industry, which is
by no means improbable, would well
repay consideration, as there is plenty
of room for a much larger trade to be
done In preserved sorrel-by no means
an unpalatable table adjunct.

Character In Buildings.

Every race and every age uncon-
sciously write their character in the
buildings which they erect, in the kind
of furniture they put in them and the
kind of streets on which they place
them If great American city were
buried 1000 years under a mass OF
ashes, as Pompeii was, and was then
excavated, 1t would be plainly seen
what manner of people had lived in
1t. Our "sky scrapers" and tunnels
and Mechanical conveniences would
show how ingenious we were and how
our laws permitted every man to build
without regard to shutting off his
neighbors sunshine; they would show
how we did business and how we cared
chiefly for saving time and making
money. Our city would show that we
cared less for beauty than men did in
former times. It would show that a
few people were as rich as kings and
lived in palaces, but that there were
hundreds of thousands who we're liy-
ing in crowded tenements like ants In
an anthill. Our school buildings would
show how we cared for education and
our churches would indicate our man.

The race Question IN America.

The proportion of children in the
United States has been studied by Prof.
Walter F. Wilcox, and the data are
published In an interesting bulletin of
the Census Bureau. Not only has the
proportional number of children under
the age of five been steadily decreasing
since 1910, but also the number in re-
lation to the number of women who
are between the ages of Is and 40
the child-bearing period In 1860 there
were GA children to every 1000 women
but in 1900 there were but All, indicat-
ing a steady decline in the birthrate.
This RESULTS said by Gen. Francis A.
Walker to be due to immigration,
though in what way is not properly
explained, for the same decline is not
as great here. Indeed, no reasonable
cause has been given, it is merely
phenomenon which has been going on
since prehistory.
The smallest number OF children is
found in Massachusetts, emitting the
District of Columbia, which is really
a city, and all the cities have less chill
dren than In the surrounding country.
There is less difference between the
city and country in the North than In
the South, where the country rate is
very large and the city rate quite
small. Moreover, the negro birth rate
shows the same decline as that Of the
white population.
The foreign born women show a
higher rate than natives, and this
seems to be a remarkable phenomenon
which has been noticed in many parts
of the United States. though never sat
isfactorily explained. There is moth
ing said as to- the proportionate NUM-
Der of children born who survive to
marry and reproduce, but from other
statistics, we are safe in asserting that
this proportion is steadily rising all
over the civilized world.
In the savage or barbarous life, the
death, rate of infants and children is
dreadfuNy high. It seems that we are
steadily approaching a future ideal
state In which nearly all, if not all,
children born will be raised to healthy
adult life, and that the birth rate Is
naturally adjusting itself to this end.
Yet the reason for the greater redue-
ton in American-born women as COM
pared with the immigrants, is yet to
be explained There is something
about life In America which makes
women shun the cares of bearing and
rearing large families perhaps as
once before explained, they may have
found. like the Canadians. that the
old large families cannot row be sup
ported. At any rate. 1t is nothing to
worry about. We will never suffer
for population.-American Magazine.

however, whether

question, however, whether this
class is worth worrying about. Not
many of the tourists who really leave
money behind them or who are the
kind of people whom we wish to be-
come interested in the state of Wash
ington, are going to travel miles out
of their way and tolerate the uncer-
tainties Of ferry service, to save four
bits or a dollar. .
!, The question of tolls and their re-
lation to the present and possible
volume of traffic over the bridge,
however, is question that should be
surveyed and analysed by the man
ayers of the bridge corporation. As
this paper has before pointed out the
most satisfactory toll is the lowest
one that will return to the stockhold-
ers fair return on their investment.
True enough, the chief aim of
the majority of Kennewick and Pasco
stockholders was to get the bridge for
their own convenience and the general
good of the two communities. With
them the question of returns on the
the investment is of secondary con-
sideration.
In their desire for cheaper tolls,
however, the people of Kennewick and
Pasco cannot overlook the fact that
many stockholders, especially the
larger ones, put their money into the
enterprise purely for investment pur-
poses. We, as the promoters, re-
presented to them that the bridge
stock would pay reasonable rate of
interest, and upon this representation
they invested.
After the bridge was in operation
many of the local stockholders sur
rendered their stock and considered
the initial payment Of 10 per cent as
a donation. All Of this stock and
much more has been resold and is
now held by individuals who bought
it as an investment. They are. not
entitled to exhorbitant earnings but
their rights are entitled to consider
