An iatervicw with a citixea of
ray, Elk county, develops •onae facts
interest concerning the tanning ia-
• t>utry. Ridgway is the centre -of the
hemlock bark industry of northern Penn*
tylrania. * 'The hemlock indnatry of the
state," said b«. “»• about 75 by 150 miles
in extent, and the tanneries located in
that district have extra facilities for se»
curing bark. The cost of hemlock bark
at Ridgway is about $5 per cord. The
tanneries located at that point consume
about 40,000 cords a year. Large quan
tities of their products find ready markets
in Europe.” Said one of the Leading taa»
.aen: yL
“The cifc of bark transportation has
become of late years a very important
element in the success of the tanning in
dustry. Bark is bulky and cost of
transportation long distances adds very
materially to the cost of leather. Penn
sylvania has advantages over New Eng
land tanning centers by reason of its
nearness to West Virginia bark regions.
Tanneries located in the very midst of
the bark districts have, of course, special
advantages which count in these days of
close margins. Wo have reached u time
when all opportunities for reducing cost
must be watched, and the manufacturer
who fails to do so is apt to be left."—

They Don’I Live In Tenement Iloueee.
A young woman who, as the mission
ary of an east side chapel, spends her
-life administering to the physical and
spiritual wants of the poor people in her
parish, has a hopeful view of the future
of the German immigrants, among
whom nearly all her work is done. Bhe
says:
As soon as the children learn to speak
English they pick up American ideas,
and before long a certain amount of
pride manifests itsslf. A curious indica
tion of this is that none of the English
speaking young people will admit that
they live in tenement bowes. if yon ask
them they will always tell you that their
home is in a fiat honae, while a few have
reached a pitch of refinement where the
dingy old buildings become apartment
houses.
If you went into some of the homes,
through the dark halls and u$ four or
five flights of rickety stairs, you might
ask yourself what a teuement house real
ly is. The young persons there, how
ever, will tell you that the Hebrews in
Essex and Ludlow streets live In tene
ment houses, 'fliis pride may be false,
but it is akin to ambition, and will make
good American men and women of the
grandchildren of the immigrants.—New
York Tribune.
About Yegetubl**.
Vegetables of all available kinds
should always be found upon our tables,
as they have a direct chemical and re
medial action upon our bodies. Unions
and asparagus are particularly recom
mended for rheumatism and rheumatic
gout; cauliflower has a tonic effect upon
the sr*tern, ami boiled peas contain 98
per cent, of nutriment, which is almost
equal to the value of wheat bread. Po
tatoes are certainly a very desirable part
of our meals, and lettuces? rarrots and
cabbages would be much easier digested
but for the artificial methods of cooking
and seasoning which are employed by
the modern civilised cook.
Vegetables should never be put into
the cellar, as many of them contain
acids which will abeorb the poison of the
ground air, and, if eaten, will prove very
unhealthy, and if allowed to remain will
rapidly decompose and fill the air which
arises to the upper rooms with a poison
that will undoubtedly cause much mis
chief. Potatoes should not be exposed
fio the sun. but kept in some dry place
where the light and air can always strike
fhem.—Hail’s Journal.
Safety om Railroad Trains.
Borne time sg6 railroad men engaged
in a discussion through the newspapers
about the safest position for a traveler
to assume when on a train, and it seemed
to be agreed finally that the person who
took n eeet on the right hand side of the
middle car of the tram, in a seat as near
the middle as possible, would have a bet
ter chance Qf escaping injury in an acci
dent than one who sat somewhere else.
“1 never was satisfied that there wan
anything in that theory,” says A. D.
Martin, a St. Louis traveling man^'but
It is ashmisbfug" io notice how many
people believe in it.' You see the effects
of the publication everywhere you go on
a railway train. People crowd the mid
dle car of a train, and get on the right
hand and as near the middle of the car
as they can. I have seen on the Iron
Mountain the seats on the right hand
side of the car crowded, although it was
sunny there, while the seats on the other
aide were nearly empty."—St. Louis
Chronicle.
Tr*atm«nt of Factory Hands.
Superintendents of factories would do
well to regard attentively the regime
which arista in a wool spinning mill in
Norway. All the unmarried hands, both
male and female, are engaged for a fixed
yearly salary, and get board and lodging
at the works. There b a large kitchen
and a large dining room, where the em
ployer and employed dine together. The
owner’s wife herself superintends the
cooking. The bedrooms and the other
apartments are roomy and well venti
lated; the women sleep in one end of the
building and the men in the other. They
all look healthy and fresh, and very un
like ordinary factory hands. —New York
Commercial Advertiser.
Small Marla*.
Greece and Portugal, having special
xeasons for strengthening their forces,
have each laid down ambitious naval
programmes. Denmark, Norway and
Sweden and Holland are doing a little in
the way of building. In South America,
the Argentine Republic, having expan
sive ideas of her future, has planned for
considerable additions to her fleet
Whether the monetary disturbances will
canse their relinquishment is not yet
known. Brasil is a good second. Chili a
better third. And the remainder of our
American sister republics ore out of the
raoa.—New York Herald.
