JUL\ is. 1895.' Where We Lead. American paper is an article which we are exporting largely. It is cheap er than any other paper, and several of the London and Liverpool newspapers are printed on it. Nearly all Australian and many South American journals use it. Significant figures arc those showing the exports of ten years ago as compared to those of 1894. Ten years ago the figures were 8850,000; in 1894 they were *3,083,344. The reason for this is, according to industrial au thority, wo manufacture our paper from wood pulp, and we have plenty of wood and we have the process down finer than any foreign manufacturers. We have got better machinery. In the manufacture of machinery we always are in the lead, and the foreigner who thinks to compete with us by buying our machines finds that by the time he gets them there and gets them set up, they are back numbers in this country. We have invented something better, something faster, and we beat him out just the same. A SNAKE was chased out into the open the other day in Oregon that sported enough rattles to stock up a toy factory. When caught the reptile, according to one of those affidavit fiends, was found to possess fifty-four rattles—and a button. That omnipres ent button was not wanting, of course, to fill out the story. Why can't some body find a big rattler some day that is minus the button? There will he a snake worth exhibiting.

FACTS ABOUT DAILY PAPERS. A Steady InrreiiHO Reported in Their Num ber in This Country. The latest newspaper directories ; ' show that there has been an increase every year since 1577 in the number tff daily publications issued in the United States. On the other hand, says the Cleveland Leader, the number of tri weeklies has now fallen to one-third of what it was as far back as l,sr9. There has been a gradual increase inthenum- I her of publications issued semiweek ; ly, and the weekly papers have also J increased, though slowly of late. There : are fewer biweekly and semimonthly publications now than there were five j years ago, all of these statements, it should be explained, applying to the United States and Canada. There was a great increase in the number of publications issued monthly, j between 1870 and 1891, but now there are fewer of these than in 1893 and 1893. ! The increase over last year is small. There has been a decided decrease in the number of bimonthlies since 1891, and the quarterlies have also become less numerous than they were in 1893, I 1833 or 1894. The dailies alone have j not failed to grow in numbers every year since 1877. Fewer publications j were issued weekly in 1893 than in i I'3l, and since then there has been a loss, one year or more than one, in all kinds of periodicals except the daily paper. The figures for every class, as given in the Uowell directory for 1895, which is just out, are us follows: Dailies, 3,050; triweeklies, 40; semi weeklies, 331; weeklies, 14,085; biweek lies and semimonthlies, 385; monthlies, 3,070; bimonthlies, 55; quarterlies, 183. The relatively greater and more con stant growth of the daily papers, as compared with other classes of period icals, means that the American people ure more and more hungry for the latest intelligence of the world's doings, and that the eagerness of the nation to keep in the very front of progress is more marked than ever before. The improvements lately made in the tele graph, the telephone and railroad serv ice have served the daily papers well, and they have made the most of their opportunities. More and more they are becoming the typical American period ical, more popular and more powerful than any other. The indications are that in the future their relative multi plication and development will show, even more than it has in the past, their superior vitality and the leaning of the American people to the paper which is liever belated and never out of date. In the age of electricity the period icals of less frequent issue than the iaily paper, great, beautiful and popu lar as many of them are, can hardly hold their own, relatively speaking, vgainst the publications which are full of the nervous energy, the freshness uud the terse strength of the telegraph. YOUNG MEN IN THE SENATE. More Numerous Now Than in the Days of Zaeii ('liamiler. At the time Zacli Chandler was first u member of the senate he was one of the youngest members of that body, besides having a youthful appearance, •ill the other men seemed quite old to him. On the last day of the first term of Senator Mitchell, of Oregon, Chandler and he sat in the barber shop und chatted about events of the session, Aiul finally Chandler began talking about his earlier career, say* the Wash ington Star. "When I went to Detroit," he said, "there were not more than fifty houses In the place. Now it has become one i of the leading cities in the west, i Michigan was a territory, and we had i some pretty hard times there, but I stuck to it, und have been rather sue- I cessful. \\ by," he added, rather proud- | ly, "I was elected to the senate when I j was forty-four years old." "That's nothing," aswered Senator' Mitchell, laconically. "Nothing!" exclaimed Chandler, j "Well, I consider it a great deal to have j been elected to the United States J senate at forty-four." "\\ ell," replied Mitchell, quietly, "I have served six years in the senate and am not forty-four yet." "I give it up," responded Chandler, ou have the host of me. The further ' west we go the more push we have." Senator Mitchell is still a young looking man, yet there is only one man ! in the senate who was a senator when j he was first sworn in who has served I continuously. That is Senator Morrill, I of Vermont. Sherman, of Ohio, and i Stewart, of Nevada, were members of j the senate at the time Senator Mitchell : was elected, but both have been out,' Senator Sherman as secretary of the treasury for four years, and Senator j Stewart six years, while another man represented Nevada. Senator Mitchell's I first term begun in 1873. After serving six years he was defeated, a democratic legislature having been chosen. Six years later he was again elected, and has since been reelected. How the Hceii Work. In America it has been observed that j bees often bore tubular corollas in order to pet ivt the nectar of flowers, instead of entering' by the mouth, as bumblebees do in Europe. In essays on the crossfcrtilization of flowers this supposed anomaly has been the sub ject of much comment. It now appears-* i that the bumblebees of Europe and America have identical habits in re gard to the manner in which the visits I to flowers are made, and that it is the i class of insects known as the carpenter ' bee, or the borer, which works in the outside manner indicated. Coal In the Cnlted Stated. The production of coal in the United States during the ten years from 1883 to ls'Jß increased 02 per cent., accord ing tc statistics recently compiled. In England the supply is stationary, while in other principal European countries it lias Increased during the same time i from 20 to 05 per cent. It is stated that the utilization of coal represents a greater surplus ufVeal-.h than the ex portation of the same amount. It is in teresting, therefore, ty note that the | United States uses practically all the i eoul mined within it 'iinits. MR. TRAMWAY LEARNS GOLF.

"Birdie," said Mr. T., with biting sweetness, "you know you have a nice little brain right round up here," tap ping his own head. "Now, husband, if I used my brain in an argument with you," chirped in his little Birdie, "I would be taking a mean advantage of you." Heedless of this interruption, he con tinued: "You exercise that alleged brain just a trifle, then perhaps you wwr TR.

"Oh, golf! how lovely and so exclu sive, too!" smiled Mrs. T. At this moment Mr. Tramway, who was practicing with an old shinney stick and a croquet ball, took another swing at the obstacle. This time suc cess crowned his efforts, the ball rose as a thing of life, sped like a meteor, made a graceful curve and struck a flower pot on the balcony railing. The fragments of the earthenware flew in all directions, but the contents of the vase, the rich, dark mould—the color and consistency of nice, old-fashioned fruit cake —this solid chunk of mud, BIRDIE SAID HER HUSRAND HAD BURNED HIS IIANl) A LITTLE. held firmly together in one mass, fell with dexterous skill right on to the fair head of "Birdie." Then it broke, the mass of dirt spread and flowed and rolled in one generous fountain of soil. It was not satisfied with putting a layer three inches deep on her fair, BIRDIE DIDN'T FAINT. bleached golden tresses, it also went into her ears, rushed down her neck and paraded down her back, till Mrs. Tramway looked like a mermaid after taking a dive at low tide in a mud flat. Now, you know how unreasonable some ladies would have been under this weight of trouble, but "llirdie" was different. She didn't scream—oh, no! That is, not much—just one or two to let Mr. Tramway know that the contents of the flower pot had arrived. She did not yell and run around and lip over furniture and break up family ties and things-—no, she didn't even stir—she couldn't, for the window sash had dropped and held her pinned. Mr. T. was a man of strong instincts self-preservation was one of them—and his iirst impulse was to keep an impor tant business engagement in town, but ! other feelings triumphed, and with a half-reluctant look in his anxious orbs, Jg^r "I THOUGHT YOU WERE GOINO CRAZY." he went to the assistance of his impris oned "Uirdie." Far be it from us to peer into the sanctity of the family jar; we draw the dark, somber-lined curtain. A little later Mr. Tramway was seen in his shirt sleeves on the ridge pole oi the shed; there was a nervous expres sion to his clothing as well as his face. while Mrs. T , leaning far out of the upper-story window, with the inop handle in her ivory finger tips, was reaching toward him. At this juncture Neighbor Thinner appeared in the yard. "What 'n th' world air you a-doing up there?" ejacu lated the caller. For a moment a gentle silence like the stillness of the twilight hour hung over the atmosphere; then Mrs. T , in accents as soft as the sweet tinkling of a Chinese tambourine, exclaimed: "Why, Mr. Thinner! delighted to you; now you can help us. You see, husband and I were just learning golf, and the ball got knocked up into the gutter of the roof." "Well, here it is, I guess," said Mr. Thinner, as he picked up the ball from under his feet. "Now, we'll begin all over," said Birdie, cheerily, as the three met a lit tle later in the backyard, the clothes line being removed. "Husband," in his anxiety to display his dexterity at golf, was a trifle im petuous, explaining to Mr. Thinner that the main thing in the fashionable game was to learn how to hit the ball, lie prepared to illustrate it. and swung round the stick with a sudden whirl. The club end just escaped "Birdie's" head, but, alas, her new summer hat was less fortunate. This "creation," fresh from the deft hands of the Sixth avenue milliner, was rudely swept ill to the dirt, and the next moment, before Mr. Tramway was conscious of the catastrophe, he stepped back and put his ham-like foot into this marvel of the milliner's art. "Birdie" didn't faint and have hys terics, so some women would have done; she was as calm as a whirlwind. She only seized the hat, and, muttering that she'd forgotten an apple pic that was baking in the ice chest, she hied herself houseward. Mr. Tramway was just beginning to breathe, but he left -it off on hearing his wife's siren whistle voice from the window demanding his help to open the stove door. "You know it some times sticks," she explained. lie obeyed the summons like a man called to a Monday dinner in the conn- i try. A moment later Mr. Thinner heard I weird noises from the house. "llow that stove door must stick!" he murmured, as he hugged himself at the thought of his lonely bachelor ex- j isteuce.
