WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE. Fall Demand Add- to the Strength of the Situation. Bradstreet's says: "The trade situation gathers strength as summer wanes.

The Cramps have discharged many hundred hands and ask Russia to extend time for completion of two warships because they cannot get the steel. Completion of twenty-one out of thirty-seven vessels building in the Delaware is also affected. It is a curious experience for this country, but shows the gigantic expansion of home demand.

MARK TWAIN'S BOOK.

Why It Will Not K Published CtU the Year 2000. Mark Twain was just about to take a cab in front of hiö hotel in the De Vere gardens. Kensington, when I snatched a short interview with him, says a correspondent of the Washington Post. "Yes," he said. "I have some literary designs, but not on the public. If you are good at shorthand and will let me do all the talking I will tell you what these designs are without much expense of time. They greatly interest me. but they may not interest the rest of the population of thr earth, and I cannot make any promises under that head. First of all I must tell you thai I shall not be writing anything for publication for years and years to come, according to my forecast, and I expect to be busy all that time on two books which are now well under way. One of these I am writing for myself, the other for posterity. The one will never be published at all, the other not before the year 2.000. Don't interrupt, it will only waste time. The one a story, the other a portrait gallery, accounts and contracts with the most interesting among the people whom I have spoken with, here and there and yonder, about the world since my childhood. I mean of every rank and walk in life, from the very highest to the very lowest. Their one requisite is that it? that they shall be so charged with the human element that no lapse of time can make it pale or cheap or indifferent to men. There are monarchs and princes in it: I have already put them on paper. There are tailors and shoemakers and cabdrivers. editors. lawyers, poets, novelists, actors, humorists, thieves, desperadoes, forgers, printers, pastor, pirates, negroes. Indians, horsethieves. cooks, waiters, children, women, historians, fashionable society, unfashionable society. Chinamen, Englishmen. Irishmen. Viennese all the nationalities. I have hundreds of names on my list, and the only reason that any name is there is that there was something about my contact with the person bearing it whose interest burnt the episode into my memory for life. I am setting nothing down in malice, but I am writing in freedom, and one cannot write with freedom about friends or acquaintances except upon one condition, that the matter shall not see print until those people and their children have long passed from life. My book is for posterity only, and it must interest posterity, because pictures of past people and of a life that was lived and of the ways and manners and clothes of a vanished age always command interest and cannot help it when they are frankly and honestly drawn. If there had leen more Pepyses and Benvenuto Cellinis we would know more than we do of the intimate life of bygone epochs. My ultimate plans? I am to stay in London a couple of months. About September I shall be back in New York." OUR CENSUS. The 75.000,000 people scattered over the 3,000,000 square miles of surface of the Fnited States are to be counted and classified next year. Practically all the work of collecting the material will be done in three months next summer. To carry it out the census authorities are now organizing a force of nearly 5,000 men. Of this number the majority the enumerators will be employed only for a few weeks, but the clerical staff will be kept busy tor two years or more in compiling the results and publishing them. In the last two censuses those ot 1SS0 and 1890 the publication of the results occupied from five to seven years. In the act providing for the census of 1900 congress stipulated that the four principal reports those on population, mortality, manufacture, and agriculture must be published by July 1, 1902. The enumerators will be local appointees in all points of the country. There will be one for each township, or, in the case of cities, one for each ward or district. Their pay will run as low as $30 in some cases and will average probably about $100. In compiling the results of the enumeration every person in the United States will be represented by a card. The facts recorded are shown by holes punched in the cards. The average number of records that can be transferred from the schedules to the punch-cards by each clerk in one day is 700. Electrical machines not only punch the cards, but also tabulate the statistics from them, one machine doing the work formerly requiring twenty corks. The expense of taking the census will amouni to more than $10,000,000. Where the Oreat Forest Are. A table in Science shows that Canada bads all other countries in the extent of her forests. She possesses 799.2:?0.720 acres of forest-covered land, as against l.'O.OOO.OOO acres in the United States. Kussia is credited with 49S.240.OliO acres, about 48,000.000 more than the Fnited States. India comes next with 140.000.000. Germany had 34.347.OlHi acres. France 23.4C6.450, and the British islands only 2.095,000. The table does not include Africa or South America, both of which contain immense forests. It may surprise some readers to learn that the percentage of forest-covered land is larger in several F.urope.ui countries. Germany for instance, than in the Fnited States. Kros'ii Vrsus Mosquitoes. According u Dr. L. O. Howard, of the department of agriculture, a little kerosene, say one ounce to every fifteen square feet, spread over the surface of ponds and marsnes where mosquitoes Weed will destroy the pests by forming a flight coating over the Water. This prevents tho larvae from reacning the air. but the kerosene is also effective as an insecticide. Satisfied. From the Boston Transcript: Mrs. Skowlcr "You will have to go, Mary. I can't put up with your impertinence any longer. I'm sorry I can't give you a recommendation." Mary "It's all right, idem; my leaving alive will be all the recommend I need." California roses contain 20 ier cent more perfume than those grown In other states.
