Chief of police Johnston of James
town, N. H., said the other day that
he could think of no case where a
tramp had been a troublesome
prisoner that they are usnnlly too
indolent to care about making a dis

he said, lies in their taking possession
of barns or nnocenpied houses in the

their pipes, "which they keep working

Lady Oeorgina Vernon, daughter of
the tenth Earl of Haddington, is well
known as an authority on dairying as
an occupation for women. She spent
some time iu Normandy studying into
French methods in cheese-making.
She strongly urges the practicability
of dairying for women as a self-supporting
industry, but says that cheese
would be the most profitable brauch
of the work. Most of the bad butter,
she claims, comet, from small dairies
with only two or three cows. It is to
be hoped, remarks Harper's Bazar,
that many womou of this country may
be induced to follow some of her sug
gestions, going into the manufacture
of some of the more delicate cheeses.
During the Pnris Exposition there
will be over a hundred congresses of
allsorts.kinds.toiigues and conditions,
comprehending everything from a
bacillus to the nuiverxe itself. There
fill be a great hall, two-thirds on land
aild one-third on water, with vast
galleries and such arra'.igemouts that
thousands cuu be. meeting at once.
For instance, the 7000 members of
the Congress of Medicine will be
dividod into 23 sectious, and not only
will each be taken care of, but the
members will all be entertained and
will have special opportunities for
visiting the Faris schools and hospi
tals, This illustrates the whole pro
position. It shows that Faris is doing
everything to get the world to visit
her, and that she will exhibit all her
varied interests to the millions thut
attend her end-of-the-century show-.
The attendance promises to be enor

the opening in Philadelphia of a
children's branch of the public library.
It is the first library of the kind in
the city, and the children have availed
themselves eagerly of the opportuni
ties it offers. Although it has been in
existence only three months, there
re about 2,400 names registered on
its books as regular readers. "With
clean hands and a clean face" is the
only rule of the plaoe, besides that of
orderly silence. During the whole
time of its existence no ohjld has had
to be sent out of the library ' for
misoonduot. Even on rainy days, when
the' plaoe is crowded, order and
ailenoe always prevail. The little folk
come in and are allowed to go straight
to the shelves in search of reading
matter. Eaou child is allowed to take
out two books at a time, oue of them
fiction and the other instructive. Ou
the average, the child readers are
boat 14 years old, anjl the boya out
number the girls nearly four to one.
History is the favorite literature for
the boys, while the girls revel iu fic
tion. It is said by the library people,
to the ored it of the ohildreu and tho
shame of their elders, that the pro
portion of instructive books tuken out
by the little ones is far in advauoe of

A LOCALJARAGRAPH. E
ST KDOAS T. HELD.
"The time has come for the Ameri
can peoplo to act. Shall fifty million
patriots sit supinely by and lot con
scienceless rascals tear the stars of
glory from the flag thoy love and
trample its proud folds of crimson and
white into the mire of national dis
honor? Not while the deeds of '78
still shine through the mists of years
in unexampled splendor. Not while"
Joel Snively, editor of the Meloogic
Monitor, laid down his pen with a
sigh.
Outside the dusty little window the
green waters of the bay were spark
ling in the snnshine. A keen north
breeze was driving great huddling
masses of white-shonldered clouds
over a field of dazzling aznre, and
only a man who loved the sport with
the whole-souled earnestness that
tilled his entire being could know how
the fish must be biting on such a morn
tag! Oh, to be out ou that gleaming
expanse, armed, with rod and line,
with only the sun and clouds for com
pany and a thousand pounds or so of
gamy finned vertebrates playing about
within reach of his cunning hook.
But also, it was Friday morning.
On Saturday some two hundred im
patient subscribers would expect the
weekly dish of personal, political and
intellectual pabulum which his facile
pen had long served up to them on
that day, with more or less punctual
ity, according to the season. His duty
clearly held him to his post at such a
time, however much his inclinations
might have led hira elsewhere.
So, with another lingering glance nt
the scene without, Mr. Snively took
p his pen and resumed the stirring
appeal which, was to awaken fifty
million patriots to art ion and inciden
tally convince the fieemcn of Meloogio
that it was their duty to vote for Joe
Gridley for ponudmaster.
So engrossed did the editor become
in this ploasing task that he did not
hear a Htep upon the creaking stair a
little later. If he had he would have
known at once that it was a woman
and a lady who was approaching, for
long and often painful experience had
enabled Mr. Snively to determine with
unerring accuracy w hat sort of person
was climbing the somewhat perilous
ascent to the editorial sanctum almost
as soon as his foot touched the first
stop.
But for once the editor did not hear
the soft footfall on the stair, so he
was very much surprised and not a
little disconcerted when a fresh, sweet
voice, almost at his elbow said "Good
morning Mr. Snively," and looking
np he beheld his neighbor, Mrs. Tracy,
her plump figure tightly buttoned into
the trimmest of blue serge yachting
suits, hor smiling face shaded by a
wide-brimmed hat and in her baud a
fish pole, jointed, brass-tipped, ele
gantthe very perfection of dainty
uselessness.
Without wating for a response to
her greeting she briefly made known
her errand. Hhe was anxious for a
day's fishing and had been told of on
Elysian spot, where the fish wero so
plentiful they were actually to be had
for the asking. Unluckily, however,
her own boat had not come, so she
ventured to ask if, in case he was not
nsing it, Mr. Snively would be so
kind as to lend hor his yawl, it being
impossible to hire one in the village.
Mr. Snively was delighted. Mrs.
Tracy was a pretty widow of uncer
tain age but no uuoertain oh arm, who
had taken the cottage next to the
editor's own some six months before.
In the course of a rather desultory ac
quaint mee the genial bachelor, whose
ideas of the fair sex were those com
mon to blnjkiud.had discovered that his
fair neighbor was a cheery little body
of sound political views and excellent
tastes (from the first she had been a
prompt and paying subscriber to The
Monitor), but beyond that his imagina
tion had not soared. Now, however,
behold the pretty widow mvested with
a wholly new interest. She was fond
of fishiugl
Eagerly Mr. Snively assnred his
visitor ot his pleasure in putting his
boat at her disposal and gave her ex
haustive directions as to the menus of
obtaining it. A delightful half-hour
of conversation followed. As though
it were a magician's wand the dainty
fish pole had placed the editor and his
guest at once on terms of the most
charming intimacy and the former
didn't remember ever to have enjoyed
a conversation so much in his life,
albeit the talk was wholly of reels and
rods and spoon-hooks and other in
struments of slaughter.
All things, however, are bound to
come to an end, especially in uu edi
torial office, so it wasn't long before
Mrs. Tracy took her leave, esoortad
down the stuirwa by her delighted
bosk
At the door they were met by a
aplcy Insets straight from the piue
woods aoross the bty. Mr. Snively
sighed. ' '
"Where Is this wonderful place you
are going to?" he asked.
"All, that's a secret," she replied,
gsyly, "I promised I'd never, never
tell."
"Oh, well, then I suppose tl'a a
crime to even guess." And once more
the editor sighed as he glanced out at
the sparkling waters.
"But you have been so kind," ex.
claimed tho widow, noting the sigh
and immediately filled with continua
tion. "It seems ungracious of me to
keep it from yon who love so to fish."
And then as she saw him give another
wistful glance bayward she burst out
impulsively: "Promise me not to be
tray me and I'll tell yon it's l'atc
hang lake!" "Patchang!" cried Mr.
Snively in surprise. "Why, 1 never
heard of a fish down there in my
lifo."
"That's the charm of it," she re
joined, gleefully, "and the man who
told me about it (such a dear, dirty,
old fisherman he was) was fearfully
afraid some one else would find it out;
so don't betray me." And ohe hurried
away with a parting smile that made
the dusty oflice seem dullor than ever
when he got back to it and reluctantly
commenced setting np his editorial, for
Mr. Snively constituted the whole
working force of The Monitor.
And his task seemed harder than
ever after the interruption. Thoughts
of his pretty visitor kept intruding
themselves into the midst of his most
impassioned appenls to the voters of
Meloogio.
How blue her eyes were and what
bewitching little tings ot hair had
blown np under the big hat.
And then the fishing.
The editor of The Monitor shook
bin head. Could it be possible any
man living could have a soul so lost to
tumor as to piny a joke on a woman
who looked like that? It seemed im
possible, and yet Mr. Snively was as
sure there wasn't a fish withiu a mile
of Patchang as he was that there
wasn't a free silver man in Meloogio.
Perhaps even then Mrs. Tracy was
sitting in that yawl vainly waiting for
the bite he felt certain she wouldn't
got if she sat there till the United
States got an honest government. Aud
he was actually staying ot home nud
deliberately abandoning a friend to
such a fate!
As this agonizing thought occurred
to Mr. Snivoly he dropped his type
and started for the door. But once
there he paused nud slowly returned
to his form, only to find it more and
more impossible to keep his mind ou
his work.
At last he gave up in despare.
Taking a hasty survey of what he'd
already accomplished he found his col
umns tolerably full, with the excep
tion of perhape a single paragraph ou
the local page. By hard work the fol
lowing morning he might hope to set
up his pages and would trust to luck
for the missing parngrnph.
Like all fishermen, Mr. Snively was
a firm believer in luck. He wns also
a man of action when he chose, and
within five minutes of this calculation
he had locked up the editorial depart
ment and was on his way to Patchang
lake.
When ho reached that shallow sheet
of water a little lady in blue serge sat
in a boat in the center thereof, with
au expression of virtuous indignation
ou her sunburnt features.
"What luck?" called the editor from
the shore.
"Luckl" cried the fair sportswoman
dolofully. "There's not enough water
in this lake to catch cold in, much less
a fish. All I've got for my trouble is
a mighty poor opinion of fishermen
iu general and one dirty one in par
ticular." "Come over here," said Snively.
"I know a pond not 0 thousand miles
away where the fish bite like mosqui
toes. If you'll try it I think I can
raise your opinion of fishermen be
fore I'm a day older."
"I can't," confessed the widow,
blushing with anger and mortification.
"I'm stuck in the mud."
One moment the man of letters hesi
tated on the bank aud then, with an
inward prayer that he might at least
be spared to get out that week's
paper, he waded boldly into the ex
pause of treacherous mud that rolled
between him aud the beauty in dis
tress. The next morning the editor walked
into the Monitor oflice clad in his
Sunday clothes. With his accustomed
methodical ueatnesH he pulled nil' his
coat, hung it behind the door, aud
carefully drew ou his linen sleeves a
pair of black alpaca ones. Then he
lighted his pipe and took his place at
the form.
There, just as be had left it, was
the vacant space at the end ot the
local column still yawning for the
missing paragraph.
Mr. Suively regarded it for a few
minutes reflectively then he took np
his pen, as a smile gradually spread
itself over his face until it reached his
eyes. It still lingered there when a
little later he finished and paused to
glance over his work.
What he read was this:
"The editor of The Monitor, after
many years ot bachelorhood, has bad
the good fortune to incur the risks
and responsibilities of rnutriinouy.
He was married this morning to Mrs.
Gertrude Tracy of Elm cottage and
asks the congratulations and good
wishes of his subscribers iu this the
happtest hour of his life." Edgar

TRADE REVIEW.
The Volume ot Business Now In Progress Hat
Never Been Rivaled.
It. Q. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of
trade reports as follows for last week:
Uetter than all other news, the record
of August commerce shows the relation
ot United Btntes business to that of
other I'ountrln. Kxiiorts were 120.-
US:',875 larger tlinn ever btfore In August
and exceeded Imports by :17,9i.6ill(,
partly because exports of staples were
Ji,:iiii;.!i78 larger thun last year, but also
because exports of other products,
mainly manufacturing, were 110,349,000
larger tlinn Inst year and larger than
In any other month of any year. Fears
that great mlvunce In prices might
phut off exports of mamiructured pro
ducts have not been unnatural, and it
Is most gratifying to find that such ex-x
ports still continue and expand. The
excess of exports over Imports gives
fair promise of as large a balance In
foreign trade to the benefit of this
country during the winter as has ever
been seen. That manufactured ex
ports do not fall off, but are larger than
ever, Is both surprising and gratifying.
The volume of business now In
progress has never been rivaled.
The grent movement of grain, In
wheat and flour, a little larger than last
year In August, and in two weeks of
September 6,:'0,2"3 bushels, Hour In
cluded, from Atlantic ports, against
6,4:13,076 last year and from Pacific 7&5,
65V bushels against 361,144 last year Is
far more effective In preventing a
decline In prices than any official or
unolllclal estimate of yield. Govern
ment reports Indicate a wheat crop of
only 61i;.lKM1.000 bushels, but last year
September report Indicated M5,000,000
bushels, and ufterwaids the official re
turn made It 675.0M,Oi)0 bushels, and
none would be surprised to see a like
revision this year. J he price, in spi
of good exports has fallen one-quart
of a cent, for wemern leceluts na

against 14.W3.siir last year, and corn
exports, 6,0X3,212 buxhels, against 4,351,
331. The feeling is not unreasonable
that foreign needs are just now well
Indicated by the corn movement. At
this season cotton shipments are al
ways small, and hopes or fears rule
the market, but prices have declnled
during tho week a sixteenth, with a lit
tle less buying on foreign account.
Extraordinary efforts to increase the
iron output failed in August partly be
cause stoppage of a f w largd furnaces
for repairs more than balanced the ad
dition of 13 small furnaces to the pro
ducing force and partly because hot
weather prevented full production. The
reported output. 207,3 '0 tons, against
207,672 August 1. with decrease of 22.
847 tons In unsold stock Indicates a con
sumption of 1.2K9.012 tons during tho
month. Purchases of 60.000 tons
besBemcr ond 20,000 tons other Iron are
reported, with advance of beasemer to
$23 2fi at nttsbtirg, but quotations are
wild because of premiums paid for
early delivery. Plates at the East and
common bars at Pittsburg are $1 per
ton higher, and wire nails have again
been advanced 13 per ton. Orders for
plates Include several for export and
one for a vessel in the Delaware river,
with one for Venezuela at Pittsburg,
but many for all forma are refused be
cause the works are unable to till them
on time, and some orders of much Im
portance have been withdrawn at the
West on account of the delay unavoid
able and the high prices charged.
