Redfield, secretary of commerce, addressing the State Business Men's association of Connecticut at Hartford. Conn., asked with a smile what had become of the threat • ened flooding of American markets with foreign-made goods attracted by the new tariff schedules. "All men are witnesses that the flooding of our markets with the products of the so-called pauper labor of Europe ha not occurred,” be said. "Nay, the to

tai imports for the entire period since the tariff came into effect are actually less than they were for a like period a year ago. What has become of the millions upon millions in value of goods waiting to be unloaded upon us whereby the power to purchase more cheaply was to bring disaster and distress upon American Indus tries? Instead, as editors and speak era look back over the cold, hard tacts of our foreign trade, their re marks about the flooding of our markets must come to their thought as those things one would rather not have said. Meanwhile, the current has run strongly the other way. and particularly is this true in the shape of fully finished materials, our for eign trade in which continues to grow despite the normal fluctuations fron month to month in the total export business. These, if there were any. who felt that the flooding had conn when December imports rose to th< largest ever known, namely $184,588,Ooti must have experienced a rude shock when the imports tor Jauuan fell off over t::0.0i«> 900 so as even tn be less by almost 19.000,000 than th.

Bluffton women of the Delphic Cir cle have taken up the subject of •Bluffton Beautiful,” and suggested ways whereby the city may be beautified. as follows: “One of the first ways to make our city beautiful and healthy would be a systematic disposal of the city garbage, compelling ev-

ery household to own a covered garbage can. and the city to own or hire i a garbage wagon to work regularly every day. all day for six days, and haul away within the city limits the dry garbage. Another for every one to plant flowers around their home: another, en enforce the spit laws, prohibiting spitting on the sidewalk. Another to have less noise, not so much whistle blowing, or to allow the whistles to be blown so long at a time; another, for people to put up bird houses, so city people may hear song birds, etc., etc.” Mrs. Dallas Hunsicker gave a delightful St. Patrick’s party yesterday afternoon for the ladies of the Needles and Nods club and a few guests 'r.tluding Mrs. Paul Brown. Mrs Jesse Kelley, Miss Iris Rohinson. The St. Patrick’s idea was carried out in the decorations and in the games and luncheon. A novel contest called for the making of words beginninr with "Pat”. Mrs. Amos Yoder was .warded the prize. The luncheor was pretty with its suggestions of the I day. The ice cream had a shamrock, molded in it in colors, and sham reeks were also given as favors.

3AMBOO AS PAPER MATERIAL I Experiment* Being Made With the Hope That Thle Material May Be Found Available. Inventors are seeking a substitute for the wood pulp in the manufacture of paper. So far various methods have been tried to produce the coarser grades of paper from corn husks, ! grass, reeds and other forms of vegetable life, but print paper has not yet been successfully produced from anything except wood pulp.

In the far east they are making experiments with bamboo as a possible basis for the making of pulp. Some capitalists of the Orient have gone so far as to establish factories in Siam, Burma and India, but the undertaking has not yet been altogether successful. The great factor against the success of the enterprise in India seems to be the question of satisfactory and cheap transportation. Pulp so far manufactured has had the fault of being too dark in color to bring a satisfactory price. Bamboos most of the time so far have cost $3.41 gold a ton Little of the product so far has been sold, but samples submitted in London indicate that the company may receive as high as |58.27 gold a ton. The maximum output of the factory so far has not exceeded half of the original expectation of 18 tons of pulp a day, but it is now expected that with a small addition to the plant a normal output of 12 tons can be maintained and that this rate may be exceeded in time, with comparatively little additional expense. The critical feature of the entire enterprise seems to be in the matter of bleaching the pulp. Experts claim for bamboo pulp certain advantages, among which is the fact that bamboo pulp can be had in parts of the world where other pulp materials are not to be had; It produces a fine pulp which felts readily and produces a thick opaque paper of greater thickness than usual for Its weight, making it especially suitable for particular varieties of paper; the fine flexible fiber Is easily digested by the ordinary bisulphide process and the bamboo can readily be- handled mechanically and chemically.

Engineers Laugh at Obstacles. Like the mining engineer, the building engineer now finds practically no problem in his field which he can not solve, and the question of excavating for foundations for high buildings is little more than a routine matter. Depth is no great hindrance, as has been demonstrated in New York. For the greatest office structure in the world, on the site of the Equitable building, destroyed by fire, the engineers dug and blasted far below the street, and at a depth of eighty feet found a rock bed around the entire site for the more important base of the foundation. It Is on this bedrock that the mighty cofferdam, which will form the true middle of a foundation covering over 49.000 square feet, will be built. The cofferdam itself, when complete, will be a solid concrete wall, six feet broad and eighty feet deep, strengthened or reinforced by heavy steel rods. Dinner Evidently Was a Success. The Ladies’ Aid of Buffalo gave a big chicken pie dinner at the sale in ShleU’s hall last Saturday There was a largo attendance and the whole as fair was a success. The ladies know that advertising pays, and they patron l».ed the pages of the Review liberally with their announcements. The women that made the ehicken pies were on the job wRh both feet and their hats on and the fried cake and bean artists produced an article that tasted moreish There was a big bunch of young stars present and when they got action on the chicken pie and othet fixens" the food disappeared like wa ter down a badger hole. The financial end of the dinner produced the sum of 1165.50 In cash. There is nc disputing the fact that when the Iji dies’ Aid of Buffalo squares away to de things they do them —Buffalo (Mont.) Review.

High-Speed Shorthand Machine. A new shorthand machine, called the atenotype. haa made its appearance at a competition in New York. It taken down 592 words a minute and weighs eight pounds. The working of It is based on phonetic spelling Reveral letters can be printed by striking one key, while it is possible to strike two keys with one finger. The 38 keys represent seven consonants and every combination of sounds used in speech, together with about 150 ataudard abbreviations—the sole code that the operator must master. The machine Is not bring sold to the general public, the sale being restricted to students of business schools qualified sa competent operators, in order to keep the device from becoming a drug on the market.

Cynics In Politic*. A new York reformer said at a dinner: "Wo have no use for the cynic—no use for the man who. having beer, asked to define th* word ‘reformer,* said: •••Reformer? Oh, he’s a chap who failed to get an office out of either party.* * five Net a Suffragist. "A woman ought to stay at home attending to the dinner," said the man who resents present tendencies "No,” replied Mr Meekton. "that's where the human rare made Its first grant mistake If Eve had bean out lecturing Instead of passing round the fruit, we'd have been spared ar Immense amount of trouble. — Exchaaa*. * ..

HUMOR OF THE CLOTH GOOD BTORIEB THAT ARE CREDITED TO PROMINENT DIVINES. The Lat* Bishop Potter as Remarkable for Hie Wit ae for Hl* Eloquence—Archbishop Magee's Humorous Appeal. Probably one of the prettiest compliments ever paid to the fair sex was that contained in the answer made by Dr. Potter, bishop of New York, who was once asked by a lady why, in the many pictures and studies of angels exhibited, the angels were always depicted either as women or as young ’ men without beards or moustaches. Everyone knows,” replied the bishop, "that women naturally inherit, the i kingdom of heaven, but men only get in by a very close shave." This story is related by the Rev. T. Selby Henrey, vicar of St George. Brentford, whose little volume, entitled "Attic Salt” provides many an illustration of the fact that wit and appreciation of humor are not the least prominent characteristics of leading divines. He tells a story of the late Dr. Creighton, who one received a book from a second-rate author, to whom he replied by return of post, "I thank you very much for forwarding to me your book, and I promise you faithfully that I will not lose any time in reading It.” Another gem is the story once told by Dr Gore, bishop of Oxford, at hie own expense. "In Birmingham," he said. "I once overheard two street arabs discussing my appearance. At last one said to the other, ‘I tell you what. Bill —he’s a Highlander what’s caught cold in his lege."* It was Archbishop Magee who was credited with the well-known saying when a waiter dropped some hot soup down his neck: "Is there any layman present who will kindly express my feelings?” while the following is one of the best stories told of Archbishop Temple. A lady of position, sitting near him at dinner, asked him, in a most insinuating voice: "My aunt was prevented at the last moment from sailing in that ship which foundered last week. Would you not, bishop, call that a most providential interposition?” “Can’t tell. Didn't know your aunt!” Temple said, in his characteristic, blunt manner. There is, by the way, an amusing clerical story in Lady Southwark's Reminiscences, lately published. A Somersetshire rector Inquired after a sick child who had been very 111. "Oh. Agnes has recovered.” replied the woman, very casually, “but”—in heartrending accents —“I’ve lost my Pig” "Oh, how thankful you must be that your child has been spared." condoled the visitor. “Oh. I don’t know about that Little Agnes might have been a blessed angel in heaven by now, but pigs is a dead loss!”—London Tit-Bit*. Sorting the Twin*. Twin brothers who have been called up for service in a Paris regiment are so alike that It is impossible to distinguish between them. The other day one of the pair was confined to bar racks, but. by changing his cap. with its regimental number, for that of hie brother, the defaulter was able to pass the guard with impunity whenever he wished to go out.

The colonel of the regiment has now issued the following order: “The sol I dier Bonhomme (even number) will wear his hair as long as the regula- :> >:>> construed with the utmost leniency, will allow, and will shave his beard and moustache. The soldier Bonhomme (odd number) will allow I his beard and moustache to grow full, and will have his hair regularly cut as closely as possible by the regimental barber."—Daily Mail. Husband Boosts Alimony. The case of a man going into the supreme court and consenting to have a separation agreement with his wife set aside so he will be compelled to pay her more alimony occurs so seldom that when Justice Gtegerlcb at New York set aside the separation agreement betwenfg Samuel Pels, a cotton goods merchant at 160 Canal street, and hie wife. Mrs. Rose Pels, it aroused some interest Mr. and Mrs. Fete were separated In IMS under an agreement by which Pels paid his wife 15.000 in lieu of all further alimony. Mrs. Pete recently sued for divorce, naming Fannie Lefkowitt as corespondent Pete thought his wife was entitled to more alimony in view of her divorce case and consented to an order by Justice Glegerich directing him to pay 11.000 alimony and 1500 counsel fees. In a Pinch. A cadet officer In the Pennsylvania Military college was reported by a fan ulty officer for "language." rather a severe mark in that austere institution. At the time appointed for the hearing of "esplanatlona" of marks, the offending cadet presented himself before the commandant "Well, air, how did It happen that you were guilty of using improper lan gunge while on duty?" the colonel inquired. "Why. sir. as officer of the day I was inspecting the guard In handling on* of the rilles the lock snapped shut on my finger, and It just naturally Piuclntd 'heli* out of tee " Not only was th® mark "taken off." but the colonel gleefully reported to I the- entire corps the cadet officer's witty eiptenatlon of Ute offenses—ulacottA

SORROW. (By a Sympathizing Friend! What greater thing could a human soul do, than help to bear another’s burden In time of sorrow? What is that murmur? I'm distressed so tonight My soul’s sick with sorrow, and no’ ray of light; My heart is so grieved I stumble and j cry, ! If 'twas not for my mission I wish 1 might die. • • • • Oh, My mission, my mission, that must be fulfilled, And I must accept it as being so willed. j And that, too, In love; O! how hard the task. To carry my burden and no question ask. Hark. Out of the "Silence” I hear a low call. ;"Lean heavy on Me, you shall not fall; 1 1 know your heartaches. I’ve measured your grief. Put your burden on Me. and find sweet relief.” 11 reached out and touched Him. The mists cleared away, Lo my burdens have vanished. Love lightens my way. Though grief for my lost one.
