A statement Just prepared by the Treasury Bureau of Statistics p'aces In parallel columns the figures showing the growth in the production of pig Iron in the United States from 18S0 to 1S08 and the Imports and exports of manufactures of iron and steel In the corresponding years. This shows that tho production of pig Iron In the United States has grown from 3,835,191 tens in 18S0 to 11,773.934 tons In 1S98, and Mr. J. Stephens Jeans, secretary of the British Iron Trade Association, estimate!! the pig Iron production In 1S09 at 14.000,000 tons. Meantime the export of manufactures of Iron and steel has grown from 114,716,524 in the flrcal year 1SS0 to $33,715,931 In the fiscal

HOLIDAYS AFOOT. A Way to Enjoyment That Is Apt to De Overlooked. Charles M. Skinner, in Saturday Evening Post. An nirreemen t havinsr been made with one's self or a few associates, and the route canvassed by help of the aamiraDie wneeimen's maps, an understanding is to be made as to luggage, for it one insists on taking ten pounds he will hold back the others who are worrying along with five. Three is enough. A nightgown, an extra shirt, a handkerchief or two. a como, a toothbrush, a rjenknife and some money. and you have the principal part of your putfit. It is not well to have more, ior a w;eigni that is not appreciable In the morning is back-breaking by night, and one of the charm of a tramn triD is the doing away with luxuries. The expense of the tour is moderate, unless they who snare it are ot the sort that must be continually treating and drinking more than they want: or unless some moneyed man of the party insists cn lodging in the cities, instead of the villages, where he chooses the most expensive hotels and restaurants, and is followed Into them by his associates because their false pride does not allow them to economize. The farmer is not so hospitable to wanderers as he used to be. The American leis ure class, known as tramps, has injured the chance of a pleasant reception for the honest and solvent traveler at his hands, but on a pinch one can buy a meal or a lodgine from him. If the pedestrian has a summer before him. and overlooked chances for acauirinsr wealth behind him. he may pay his way with work, and the farmers are glad to find such. They are sore beset for want of helping hands. Tramps win not work, and men who can hurry to the cities and too often become burdens there. I know one young man who tramped through the Catskills, taking them leisurely, and who, at the end of his vacation, had spent about $5. He had worked for the farmers, had lived well, and had enjoyed hie summer. Here, then, is information for those wellmeaning and wrong-doing philanthropists who give money to beggars who whine about their inability to get work. The work awaits them in the country. They are in terror lest they should find It. Laundering is not so difficult as It looks to a tourist who is never in the same place for two consecutive days. It can be done overnight in the taverns if the traveler insists that he must have his raiment at a certain hour. As to clothing, it does not matter, so long as it is strong and light. Unless one expects to go Into society, his old clothes are good enough. Clothing of gray is best, for It shows dust less plainly than cloth that Is either very light or very dark, and the enly article about which one must be particular Is shoes. These must be strong, pliant and old. To walk in shoes that have not been broken to the foot la rash. When one Is alone a stick from a wayside sapling is a help, not merely in getting over the ground, but as supplying occupation for otherwise Idle hands and giving a sense of companionship. It Is also handy in case some ill-conditioned cur disputes the right to the highway. The satchel should bo small, carried from the shoulder by a strap not a bag or knapsack to attract attention and cause the farmers to look upon you as a drummer. But, however tho weight Is lightened about the body, it is most important that it be lifted from the heart. A man who car ries his business or his troubles with him, who allows them to get on his nerves, who does not sleep for thinking of them, Is a veritable kill-Joy, and must be forced to re form. "Twenty miles a day and no shon" was the understanding, and a good one, with a certain party of walkers. If one is alone he should carry a book to read in the tavern after supper, and in bad weather. only he should not read so late as to delay him in his start next morning, for the best of a walk is taken when the air is sweet and fresh, the dew has laid the dust, the temperature is low, the mountains are lift ing off their blankets of vapor and awaking. To the man afoot the world Is care-free. Why is it that so many who spend their days of duty behind a desk or counter elect to pass their holidays on hotel verandas .n overdressed, loud-talking crowds? Give up the starch and the ceremony. Forget Mother Grundy for a fortnight. Try the roaas. Losses by Fire. CHICAGO.

HI Espanola says the men who tried to lynch some Span'ards at Rcgla ought to have been punished by order of the Cuban authorities, adding that the latter's lack of initiative has made it necessary for General Ludlow to order the arrest of the offenders. THE ATLANTIC SPEEDWAY. Separate East and "West Routes ot I'sed by Tramp steamers. The dangers of travel between Europe and the United States are considered by 1L, Phelps Whltmarsh in an article In the Sep tember Century. They are not so great, it seems, as those of railway travel; for four out jr every thousand travelers are Kiuea or injured in traveling by rail, while only two are killed or maimed at sea. The establishment of specific and separate tracks for eastward and westward-bound steamships has doubtless -decreased the chances of collision. Unfortunately, however, only the passenger lines have agreed to use these ocean lanes, and, in consequence, there is still the risk of meeting tramp steamers and sailing vessels. Captain Randle. ot the steamship St. Louis, has kindly furnlphed me with two practical ideas on this phase of the subject, as follows: . "There are two suggestions that I would offer in regard to making life on the Atlantic ocean Fafer than it Is to-iiy. The first is the establishment of eastward and westward routes one degree to the southward of their present position. .This, though it would increase the time of passage oy an hour or so, would take vessels out of the greater part of the fog area. The second is the making of an International law which phall compel all vessels crossing the Atlantic, whether under steam or sail, either to follow the routes laid down or to give them a wide berth." The feelinrs" of captains In regard to sarety are not, as has been suraclently proved, to be depended on. They should be compelled, under the penalty of losing their certificates, to comply with the law, particularly with regard to speed in "thick" weather. To this end it is suggested that all steamships be required to carry telltales in some part of the ship accessible to all, which will register at all times the rate of speed at which the vessel Is going. It is an old saying that the captain who gives his attention to tne four "L's lead. loc. 1 ghts and lookouts runs but little danger of catastrophe. To this there should be added a fifth "h," standing for law. Finally, tho steamship company should be made liable for the human freight they carry. Why steamships, in contradistinction to railroads, should be allowed to consider accidents as an act of God. and, with the loss of the ship, be exempt from liability, is be yond my comprehension. Accidents, both afloat and ashore, are inevitable. Occa sionally they are caused by conditions over which man has no control, but in nlnetj'nlne cases out of a hundred they can be traced to some human error, and in the interest of safety all common carriers, whether they float, roll or fly, should be torced to take precautions, which only their liability will secure. , TOBOGGAMXG DOWX A VOLCANO. Lively Sensation In Sliding Doirn the Side of Popocatepetl. Pearson's Magazine. Having reached the summit, the Indian guides look complacently around and puff unconcernedly at their eternal cigarettes, as thoy begin to unroll their "petates" on tne snow, inese relates are Indian mats of strong, tough fiber, which the guides have carried up on their backs. You realize now that they are also toboggans. ftow the guides make this toboggan trip, the most remarkable one In the world, and the only one down the side of a great vol cano, week in and week out whenever the sides of the volcano are not so Irozen over as to prevent it. It is nothing to them. But for you it is a different matter and the more you look at the frail petates and at the long, glittering descent tne less you like the idea. Nervously you watch the pre na rations the smoothing down of the petate?, when they will persist in curling up at the corners, and the testing of the heavy palos, op alpenstocks, of which each guide carries two. with extra ones' strapped on his DacK in case of loss. Quaklngly. you seat yourself on the rear ends of the mats. Complacently the guides brace themselves firmly in Xront of you. push the ragged old sombreros over their eyes, light fresh cigarettes for the dowti trip, caution you to sit still and have care. take a steady grip on the alpenstocks, which serve them as steering noles, and you are off. Perhaps on the way up it had been your intention to race each other down you havo no Jocular thoughts now, and as the mats slip over the Fnow, slowly at first, then faster, gathering momentum at every inch, you grab desperately at tho guide's waist and hold on for dear life. The SDeed Quickens until you sre going faster than express train r.ite. Clouds of soft enow fly up, at times almost blinding you, and calling forth Indian profanity from the guides. The sensation, when you take It quietly, with closed eyes (supposing you can bring yourself to do tnis). is not un pleasantthere is a sense of extraordinary exhilaration, or mad recklessness. LSut It you dare to look up or about the sense of seasickness becomes almost overpowering. By tho time you have done half the trip the breath has completely left your body, your mouth and eyes are wide open, you can neither see nor hear. Then the end comes with a bang and a shock at the very edge of the snow, and you roll helter-skelter through the stiff, racaton grass bruised wrecks. People take the end differently. Some sit up. rub their heads and laugh; others relieve their overstrung nerves with copious tears. For my part 1 lay still and gasped. Obituary. EL PASO. Tex.. Sent. 22. Rev. B. C.
