A Wood Pulp Supply. Canada is proving to be a fine store house of paper and paper materials for the United States, which consumes the great bulk of Canada's exported products of that kind. From an export of paper and" paper materi- i als in 1892 valued at $91, the total j exports of paper pulp and pulp wood . for the year ending last July grew to $40,860,266, an increase of 31 per cent, over the year before. Of this the United States took 87 per cent. 1 In connection with these figures, issued by the Canadian department of commerce, a warning is sounded < lest the heavy drain placed on Canadian forests be permitted to eat up this source of wealth, and suggesting ' that much more stringent measures 1 in regard to reforestation will be 1 needed to protect the pulp woods from final destruction. Only in recent years has Canada |' felt the paper making drain on its forests. This country has a considerably larger number of mills at present and these mills are credited with a daily capacity of 4,125 tons, as against 2,085 tons which the Canadian mills can turn ' out daily. During this year seven new mills will begin operations in Canada, having a daily output of 670 tons, against A three new mills opening in this country with a capacity of 130 tons. Canada and the United States have each about the same area of forests, estimated at about 550,000,000 acres, but the Dominion has more paper making wood. At the present time the mills in this country are consuming nearly double the amount of pulp wood used by the mills across the border, but the tendency is more nearly to equalize the production. Timber is cheaper in Canada than in this country, where the industry in i its present importance is of such-T recent date that the private monopo-P A lict has not vet been able to set in! his work as effectively as in this L 1 s country. The rapidly growing demand for news print paper has within the last two years focused attention on the available supply of pulp material. More than three million cords of this kind of wood cut in the United States, and a million imported trom Canada are used by the mills in this country, chiefly for news print. In addition to spruce, the most desirable timber for pulp making, eight or ten * ether soft woods are now being used. On account of the increasing calls for timber suitable for the manufacture of wood pulp, and the excess of cutting over ine annual giowui u: the forests, disclosed by the department of forestry in its report for the year ending June 30, the problem of maintaining a supply of both hard and soft woods is a serious one. To allow the cutting of timber to go on with no adequate provision for a new * * THE FORCE OF SLAXG. How Some of Its Words Gain High Standing Abroad. That original slang is poetic is the ?ontention of Max Eastman in the \'ew Republic and he goes on to say: 'Perhaps the best way to prove this to the professors will be to remind them that some of their own worthiest and most classic and respectable words are themselves, if we go back to their origin, just the same slangy cagabonds as these. Examine, for instance, the word inveigh. There :s a staid and dignified term, fit to be incorporated in a president's inaugural: 'I will not at this time inveigh against the custom prevalent among my contemporaries?' You can imagine how it would sound. And yet? poetically?what does that word mean? In means into. Vehi means to sail: 'I will not at this time sail into my contemporaries!' Here is another Latin word?insult. In its origin it means to jump on?exactly what is said everywhere by the school children of America when the appropriate situation arises. "Diatribe is a pretentious term. It implies something more thorough than an insult, a more lasting denunciation. You not only 'jump on' somebody, but you 'rub it in.' We used to say of a crazy person that he was 'off his trolley.' And the word delirious meant substantially the same thing in an earlier stage of civilization. It came from the Latin words de and lira, which means off or out of your furrow. The word precocious means precooked, or. as we say, half baked. Capricious means like a goat, and the slang correlatives here are innumerable. "Imagine some worthy, refined and graduated soul, being offended by a young upstart, and responding somewhat as follows: 'It seems to me you are a trifle capricious. I would hardly expect any one to inveigh against me in this delirious manner, delivering such a diatribe. It is essential to your precocity to insult your elders?' And then suppose we translate this somewhat according to the etymological dictionary: 'You goat! You must be off your trolley to sail into me like that and then rub it in! Just because you're halfbaked you needn't think you can jump on your elders!' " INTERESTING FIGURES. New York City is a Great Manufacturing Centre. Figures have just become available of the output of the city of New York in 1914, says the Christian Herald. According to this compilation, there were in the city 585,279 workers in 29,621 establishments, earning in wages $357,498,000 a year, and producing from raw materials worth $1,229,155,000 finished products worth $2,292,832,000. Women's clothing headed the list, employing 104,834 persons and turning $180,778,000 worth of raw material into $340,000,000 worth of merchandise. The men's clothing industry employed 56,853 persons and produced goods worth $192,112,000 from raw materials worth $95,144,000. Next to the clothing business, the printing and publishing business is the grea est in the metropolis, employing 48,384 persons in 3,185 establishments, turning out a product worth $215,571,000 from raw materials worth $56,186,000. The meat business turned $97,457,000 worth of material into $110,707,000 worth of products. Bakeries employing 19,870 persons made $80^56,000 worth of bread and cakes^trom $42,550,000 worth of material. Fifty-three establishments, employing 6,283 persons, turned $15,887,000 worth of good materials into $56,312,000 worth of beer and liquors. Materials worth $12,799,000 were turned into $30,156,000 worth of patent medicines and druggists' preparations. Censorship of Movies. We censor the movies for moral reasons but do not think it important to criticise them for their outrages against the intelligence. They serve the gross superstition of people and thereby do a real damage to the community common sense. For the present the movies mainly insist upon using bunk as the motive of human action and largely refuse to accept the rationality of cause and consequence. They are debauching the minds of the people who see them. But the cure is elsewhere than in censorship. That would be a short cut, but is one wnicn seemingly cannot be taken. So long as the people consent to be bunked by the movies they will be bunked. They are their own most effective censors.?Chicago Tribune. growth is to invite ultimate disaster. A number of substitutes for wood for building purposes have been devised, but there has been discovered thus far no substitute for wood in paper making. In the meantime the demand for the news paper was never so insatiate as just now.?.Nashville Banner. I GRAPES DECORATE BALL ROOM. 400 Pounds of Real Malagas, Worth $240, Used at Debutante Dance.

Elected by Trick? Columbia, Feb. 15.?A charge that indorsement by the South Carolina Audubon society of A. A. Richardson for reelected game warden of the State had been secured by a political maneuver that was worthy of the best traditions of this State's politics was made on the floor of the senate by Senator Neils Christensen, of Beaufort, chairman of the finan< -e committee. Senator Christensen's allegation was made in the course nf riphate on his bill Droviding that the appointment of the warden shall be made without the recommendation of the society as the law now provides. Senator Christensen read from the minutes of the meeting at which the endorsement was given the incumbent, to prove his charge that a carefully planned political trick had been worked. At a call meeting of the Audubon society, held in Columbia some weeks prior to the convention of the general assembly, said the Beaufort ^nator, attended by less than a dozen of its members, there were present as proxies of absent members more than 50 citizens of Barnwell and Orangeburg counties, who had been gotten together and brought to the meeting by friends of Mr. Richardson. The proposition to endorse the present game warden was sprung and passed without discussion. Asked by Senator J. F. Williams, of Aiken, who charged that the bill was presented in an effort to remove the present officer, to whom he paid a full tribute of praise, if the motion to recommend Mr. Richardson had hopn nasseri unanimously. Sena tor Christensen replied that he did not know. "But if it did, that does not necessarily signify anything," he said. "What was the use for the few regular members of the society to say anything when there were four times as many proxies present who had come to vote for Richardson," asked the chairman of the finance committee. When Senator Christensen's bill was taken up, Senator Williams offered the following amendment, which would insure the appointment of Mr. Richardson: "Provided, That if the Audubon Society of South Carolina has already recommended for the next term." After the matter had been argued briefly a vote was taken, the senate voting 21 to 21 on the question of tabling the Williams amendment. Lieutenant Governor Bethea for the first time this session exercised rvt?jiri'lAnrA A f TTAfinfT 1T*I POCO of Q mo pimicsc ui iu vi v. tie and voted to table the Williams amendment, so that it was killed by a majority of one vote. The following voted to kill the amendment: President Bethea, Senators Banks, Beattie, Brice, Buck, Christensen, DuRant, Durst, E. C. Epps, Griffith, Johnstone, Ketchin, McCown, Nickels, Nicholson, Padgett, Ridgell, Robinson, Sherard, Stacy, Walker?22. The following senators voted not to kill the amendment: Beamguard, Black, Bonham, Friday, Ginn, Gorss, Harvey, Harrelson, Johnson, Laney, Lee, Manning, O'Dell, Purdy, Rogers, Shelor, Spigner, Stuckey, Wharton, J. F. Williams, tf. K. vviiuams?zi. The following senators did not vote: Evans, Hughes and Sinkler. Mr. Richardson is an appointee of former Governor Blease. In the speech of Senator Williams the first ! tinge of factional politics of the session crept in. the Aiken senator ! charging freely that the motive be hind the bill was a political one. 1 Senator Williams has introduced i another amendment providing that 1 the game warden be elected by the ' people and not appointed by the gov ernor, as proposed by the Christensen bill. | DEATH COMES TO GEX. FUXSTOX. | Stricken While in Hotel at San Antonio.?Acute Indigestion. San Antonio, Feb. 19.?Majors Gen. Frederick Funston, commander of the Southern department of the United States army since February. 1915, died suddenly at a hotel here tonight a few minutes after he had finished dinner. He collapsed and fell unconscious while seated in the ! lobby of the hotel talking with friends, and playing with little Ines Silverberg. of Des .Moines, Iowa, a guest with her parents at the hotel. Death was almost instantaneous. Gen. Funston was 51 years old. WAR LUCK. Serving Chocolate in the Trenches of Europe. "This afternoon, everything being ! quiet," writes a French lieutenant in ! hie Hiarv rmhlisheri in thp January Atlantic, "I invited the neighboring section commander to come and spend a little time with me. In the trenches we rarely have anything to drink but wine and coffee, and, by way of a special feast, I decided to make some chocolate. So I sent for a canteen of water, and poured some of the precious fluid into my pan and devoutly emptied in the chocolate and sugar. It was simmering gently on my brazier, and I was just on the joint of adding condensed milk, when some one called me from the outside. It was my orderly coming to see if I needed anything. I invited him to join us, but at that precise moment the stupid battery of a 77 began to spit its six shells at us. Two burst so near that my faithful 'tampon' j stumbled in fright and fell headlong, i taking with him brazier, saucepan, and chocolate?our chocolate so nearly ready, which our eyes were drinkingly so hungrily.

A sailor at the Seamen's Church Institute, just in from Cuba, came rattling down the stairs recently v. ith a heavy scowl on his face. He approached the institute interpreter and threw down his letter addressed to a young woman he had met during the trip: "Dear Marie: The more I think of you the worse I love . you. I seen my sister and she says she will teach you English in two weeks if you cum here Marie, I love J you awful and send you $50 for you j to cum here. I seen your brother and he is wrighting to you this minute. When I send a girl $50 for anything I'm crazy. As ever, Oscar." "Well?" said the interpreter.
