THE LUMBER TRADE.
A Review of the Nations Lumber

Steadily Iucreaeistr Bajineis ;n the
Webt-Soine Tirant-
. Bradstreet's review of the uatiou's
Jamber trade for the past year con
tains the following: Taking the
lumber trade as a whole, the record
of 1889 was not so- good as the pre
vious year. Business was rather un
erbnThe Sotfth Wakes compara
tively ti-i; best showing, while at
Chicago, December ended with un
usual uncertainties. Local trade in
that city, both with manufacturers
and dealers, was disappointing. Profits
were small and failures in certain
branches cf the factory business
created uneasiness. The receipts of
lumber at Chicago during the year
wero approximately 1,940,000,000 feet
against 2,220,000,000 feet the year be
fore, and 1,880,000,000 in 1SS7.
Throughout the Northwest rather
large stocks of lumber are in store.
The Southern lumber industry in all
depattments made rapid progress dur
ing the year, while great sums of
money were invested in timber lands
and enterprises connected therewith.
Southern ' yellow "pine it attracting
mare ' and -' more attention.' '. la the
upper Mississippi' valley an average
year was met with. Th trade has
little to grow enthusiastic over and,
on the other hand, nothingto occasion
great despondency, ' Pricei have ruled
low. On the Pacific Coast the pine
men have done well, but the manu
facturers of redwood report poor re
turns ou account of overproduction.
Building iu the Eastern cities has
been active as usual, and the distribu
tion of lumber is satisfactory.
' Lumber has not sold as freely in
the Saginaw valley as the mill-owners
wished, but they have done fairly
well. The year's cut is estimated at
a little less than 800,000,000 feet
against SSO.000,000 feet in 1SS8.
home other Michigan points report a
larger cat than ever before.
Preparations arc being made foi the
mual winter operations on the Missis
sippi and its tributaries, but the sea
son as yet is too open for the best re
sults. Throughout the country the
general outlook is considered favor
able. This is particularly true at the
Southern centers, and also in the dis
tant West, where the abundant crops
promise to be followed by liberal pur
chases of lumber for repairs nd new
buildings.
A NEW 111 KIAb SCIIKMK.
Our Itixlies to be Iried and 1'ut
Away in Vaults.
The New York Sun says that s
new disposition of tue dead as pro
posed may be caU the "latest thing
in hlc. uround lor a "new niau
soleum" is to be b:oken near that
city in thcsprlaf. The idea un-
dcrlymg the new mausoleum is
based ou the fact that a current of
dry air will preserve a body from
iliscompobitiou, nod change it into
a ccnditicn resembling life, in
which it will remain for an iodefi-
Dit:; time. This process is applied
by nature to the unfortunate trav
eller and bid beast who succumb
upou the great deserts. In the
Sniithsomau institution are many
bodies thus desiccated by nature
which have been brought from the
battlefields of Mexico and Peru,
irom southern plains, and Indian
districts of the far west. The
ancient Co'.chiaos and Tartars sus
pended their dead from branches
of trees to be dried by the air and
sun. The Peruvians first dried
their deceased friendi and ''then
buried them in sitting DftSture
Savages f South Australia place
the dead body on the top of the hut
till perfectly dried, when it is nana
aired and hidden amons the
branches of the trees. The body
retains its form in the process, and
the skin, though it becomes bard
and dry like leather, remains white,
while the face though more or less
emaciated, remains lite-liae ana
and recognizable: ' ' ' '
Modern science and skill are tc
be applied to the original preserve
ative power of the atmosphere.
Experiments have recently been
made by sp6cialists,firston animals
and later on human oouies. in
the course of an recent experiment
conducted by a sanitary "engineer
tn aWsbingten, in nine P'g
was reduced in weight from 22 to
1 pounds, and remained just as
dIuuid and round as in life. ' In a
laboratory in this city the body of
a man weighing pounas was
subjected to the process in 1888 and
the effect was marvelous.
The arrangement for the inter
mcnt of deesiccated bodies in the
new mausoleum will be similar to
that of the drawers in safety deposit
vaults, while tb interior plan of
the building will resemble that of
a weir appointed public library,
with main corridor and diverging
halls leading to different sections.
These drawers or sepulchres will
be of solid concrete four inches
thick, without ioint or seam, of
certain sizes, all nrracfred In tiers
of six on either side ol the hallway.
Ttie owning into och sepulchre
wii! be provided with tw doors,:
Hit: iuiici' ..: .d'i-.-tsr. hermetically
ic.l.cd a :- :! '.t'U pi'-'O, through i
which the body may be Viewed by
those holding the keys: the outside
of iron, wroagb: gold, silver or
bronze, decorated and adorned
according to the ability and taste
of relatives.
For family use there will be
separate and distinct compartments
of various sizes, with setscr suites,
of sepulchres adorned as desired,
and having but a single entrance.
The space that holds the casket
will be acell of concrete, permit
ting neither the escape nor admis
siou ol moisture. In the erection
of the walls hollow pipes or con
duits will be formed over moulds,
so that no destructible materia!, as
iron or metal, will be needed.
Through these conduits wi.'l be
made to pour into the hermetically
Sealed sepulchres cu'renU . of dry.
air, which, passing rapidly' and
repeatedly around the body, will
extract therefrom every trce of
moisture, vapor, or fluid, and cou
yey it to a huge furnace, where
without possibility of escape, all
noxious matter will be destroyed.
Gradually the body becomes bard,
smooth and drv. with little or no
change of appearance, and once
uuuc, picscivauou ja secured ier
ever. ...
Provision is to be made against
premature interment by the adjust
ment of electrical appliance to the
body, so that the faintest motion
will be instantaneously conveyed to
the guard by means of alarm
signals.
The mausoleum will occupy
comparatively little space. A
building covering 100 feet square
could inclose 10,000 sepulchres,
and one that occupied an acre
would provide as many resting
places as 35 acres.
It is intended that ample and
suitable grounds shall surround
the building, and that adornment
inside and out will be made s
perfect as taste and wealth can
dictate.
The sepulchres will be numbered
and registered as lots in a cemetery
and a fund will be provided for the
perpetual care of all treasures of art
or nature that may be provided.
All records of interment will be
kept in the mausoleum. A chapsl
will bo provided for the discharge
of the last rite.
The cost of single sepulchres
will probably range from "$10 to
$200, while lat.iily compartments
will vary from $000 lo $40,000.
Durial lots in cities raDge from
$400 to $5000 for space to allow
six "raves, to which must be added
the cost of headstone, monument,
statuary, enclosure and care.
Concrete is the material ct which
it is proposed to build the mau
soleum. Research, ancient and
modern, establish the quality of
this material for impenetrability,
insolubility and consequent per
mauencc, even an earthquake being
powerless to destroy buildings
made of it. This substance will
no doubt be faced by ornamental
materials.
Croup Can be Prevented.
We want every mother to know that
croup con be prevented. ' There is no
question about this; as it has been
done in thousands of cases, and you
may acpena upon it mat when a cmid
takes the crouo it is wholly owing to
the negligence oiliU parents. Irue
croup never appears without due and
timely warning; a Tew hours or a day
or two before the attack, the child be
comes hoarse. This hoarseness is the
first indication of croup, and is a sure
sign that croup is to follow, unless
promptly and propcily treated. The
free use of Chamberlain's though
Keincdy as directed with-each bottle,
under the heading To prevent croup,"
will dispel all symptoms of the dis
ease. This first sign of coup, hoarse
ness, may be overlooked by young
mothers or those not familiar with
the disease. Under such circum
stances, or when not properly treated,
the hoarseness becomes more marked,
and the child shows shows symptoms
of having taken cold, then a peculiar,
rr ugh cough is developed. Even at
this stage Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy will prevent the - croup, but after
the cough has developed the croup is
liable to appear at any moment. The
proper way la to keep a bottle of this
remedy at hand, it costs but 50 cents,
and only a few doses, or at most nsj
over a third of a bottle, is required to
dispel all symptoms of the disease.
Chn yon afford to risk so much for 6
little? There is not the least danger
in giving this remedy in large and
frequent doses, which are always re
quired, as it contains no injurious
substance. As proof of this fact we
refer to John L. Olson, of Des Moines,
whose 18 months-old boy drank the
entie contents of a 50 cent bottle of
Chamberlain's cough remedy without
the least Injury. Certainly it made
the baby vomit very freely; but after
taking a nap he would have been glad
to have d. an k another bottle of the
remcdv. as he liked it A similar In
stance occurred near Valley "SpringB,
Dakot . Mrs, Mattie J ohnson's two-year-old
daughter, Annie, drank a full
bottle of the remedy without Injury.
This remedy has been the sola re
liance of thousands of mothers for
crcup, and especially as a preventive
lor uianr ycarss, and has never beer,
known to fail. It is also invaluable
for colds and whooping-cough. For

AGKI CULTURAL STATISTICS.
Are the Farmers of Tills Conntry
Bankrupt?
American Economist.
If that question should be decided
by the utterances of our briliant but
misguided contemporary, the Louis
ville Courier-Journal, it would be in
the affirmative, as never since the
time of the prophet Jeremiah have
more continuous and agonizing howls
of distress arisen in one series than
proceed from its columns in this mat
ter.
In a recent issue it says as follows:
"About the only Protection the far
mers of America are familiar with is
the Protection of a mortgage. It
keeps it going, going iu the payment
of interest and finally 'gone' under
the Sheriffs hammer to the mortgagee."
No longer ago than in 1SSS the Sec
retary of the Illinois Bureau of Labor
statistics doubtless stimulated in toe
matter by such howls of distress as
the foregoing made a most careful ex
amination of the existing mortgage
conditions in every county in the
state, excepting La Salle County and
Cook County, which latter contain3
Chicago, both of which are omitted as
as the records of both had been des
troy ed by fire.
Had the student of social conditions
selected one State in the Union as an
average representative of ails in farm
ing matters he could have selected
none better abpted for that purpose.
For Illinois is neither one of our
oldest nor newest states, has a fair
ehare of diversified interest, and has
perhaps as near the average natural
productiveness of lands as an other.
The report of her Bureau of Labor
above referred to is of the most en
couraging kind as to the status of
agriculture in regard to mortgage in
debtedness when contrasted with
resources, which is the only measure
by which the pressure of such indebt
edness can be properly gauged. For
the man who owes a million of dol
lars and has two million of cash re
sources to pay it with is practically
not so hopelessly involved as another
man who owes only a thousand dol
lars and not one hundred dollars to
pay it with.
Exactly analogous to the former in
stance is the condition of the average
Illinois farmer as to assets and
liabilities the total farm mortgages in
that State amounting to not over one
hal' a year's product of the farm lands
of that State when computed at the
home valuation of the same as stated
iu the latest national census report.
The report before us does not state
the aggregate of the yearly revenue,
which may be termed the current cash
receipts of the farmer, in the entire
State iu tho aggrtgate and their
mortgage indebtedness, but it does
give those items, in detail, for the
two hundred and odd counties thereof,
to reproduce which iu these columns
would not only too much room but
weary our readers. Vt e give the first
and last counties as they are alpha
betically rrranged, thus:

Value of farms, tools and
stock $i:i,7S4,'J3f
Mortgages on 1,458,534
Value of crop at home
priceR(lS79) 2.3S4,C08
It is fair to assume that half of the
average crop of an average year would
pay on the eutire farmers mortgage
indebtedness ot the state, which is,
we submit a remarkably solvent and
healthy showing, and not tho least
provocative of the groans of despair
that our brilliant contemporary in
dulges in.
Such exceptional thrift and solvency
must be productive of increased credit
and lower rates of interest which rates
the State statistician assures his con
stituents have largely declined and
tend still further downward. The
percentage of deferred payments is re
ported as but halt in 18S7 what it
was in 18 j 0.
In fact, so excellent did these con
ditions become that the older States
authorized their savings banks to in
vest in Western farm mortgages Which
they have done with the most satis
factory results, . Tho savings bank
Commissioner for the State of New
Hampshire 'in his -report, 'for" 1889
tabes officially that xne foreclosures
on 'Western mortgacev, (mostly on
farms) Were bat one-fifth as large in
proportion as they are "in 'the East.'
His figures are as foUowsi v -Percentage
'of foreclosure to
' amount loaned ori East
ern mortgages.........
Percentage of foreclosure to
' amount loaned on West
ern mortgages......... 4-5 of
In summarizing he says: "West
ern farm loans have been for a num
ber of years profitable investments for
enr Savings Banks and private in
vestors. They furnish a safe field for
our surplus capital."
Such conditions, offered the strong
est possible arguments in farorcf that
protection to home labtnV'which,
, , , . , . . r
Wnlte ll provides mc American war
mer with the best market 'in the
word in his own country fhi prod
ucts, carefully secures to hhtfand bis
prosperity that home market, by a
large and effective Protection to his
farm products against the devastating
raids which otherwise would be made
of products growfl at ' a' tenth or a
twentieth of the wages which self
respecting American fanners will
work lor. .
To pass from State to national
evidence on this point. We will avail
ourselves of Mr. Blaine's concise sum
mary of the testimony of the United
States census in this matter as pre
sented iu his reply to Mr. Gladstone's
Free-Trade eulogy (See North Ameri
can Review, Jan. 1S90., pp. 52 and 53
thus:
"By the census of .'SCO eight agri
cultural States of the west (Illinois,
Indiana, Iowa, Kansas. Michigan,
Minnesota, Nebraska and Wisconsin)
returned an aggregate wealth of
?2, 27 1,000, 000. Twenty years after
ward by the census of 1SS0 (Protec
tion all the while in full force) these
same States returned an aggregate
wealth of $11,268,000,000. The rate
of increase for the twenty years was
396 per cent, or ISO per cent, greater
than the increase in the eight manu
facturing States of the East.
"The case will be equally striking
if we take the fifteen Southern States
that were slave-holding in I860. By
the ceusus of that year the aggregate
return of that property was $6,792,
000.0C0, but $2,000,000 was slave
property. Deducting that, the total
property amounted to $4,792,000,000.
Their aggregate return of wealth by
the census of 18 SO was $8,633,000,
000. The rate of increase for twenty
years was 80 per cent,
