Borne 4,886 books were published in
the United States last year. The usual
edition of any book published is 1,000
copies, and the general aveiage may
reach 8,000. Thus more than 10,000.
000 volumes were pot on sale Inst
year. During the past ten years th
product has been about 100,000,000
volumes. There would be enough
books to stock 10,000 libraries with
10,000 books each. It has been found
however, that the wood paper now used

An Excellent Combination.
The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
Stbup or Fies, manufactured by the
Calipokhia Fio Stbcp Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa
tive principles of plants known to be
medicinally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. It
is the one perfect strengthening laxa
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling' colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every objectionable qnality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating1 them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
re need, aa they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from senna and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the California Fio Stbup
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid imitations, please
remember the full name of the Company
printed on the front of every package.

The Manufacturers' and Protinoers'
Association, of San Francisco, Cat.,
has entered npon a vigorous campaign
against convict-made goods being
placed upon the free market. Circut
lars are being sent throughout the
state, accompanied by a postal card,
which is to be filled out and returned
to the association by the receiver of the
letter. By filling out this card an
agreement is made to exclude from
business establishments and homes all
stoves known to have been made by
convict labor, ueoent investigations
made by the association disclosed the
fact that among other things large
quantities of stoves made bv convict la
bor in Oregon were being sold not only
in San Francisco, but throughout the
state of California, and it is principally
against this trade that the circular
letter is directed. .
Sharp Advance la Oatmeal.
Flour and feed merchants of Van
couver, B. C. last week announoed an
advance of 20 cents per barrel in all
grades of oatmeal. Heavy orders will
have to be filled from the north short
ly, and American dealers have been
asking for quotations from British Co
lombia merchants with a view to hav
ing the orders filled in Vancouver,
The supply of oats held on the coast i
not large, and higher prices followed
the inquiries from Seattle and Pacifio
coast points. As many tons will be
required in the north before the new
crop is ready, another advance in both
oats and oatmeal is looked for. No at
tempt has been made to corner the
market. -

headquarters ot the American Steel
Wire Company, in Chicago, that 2,500
tons of wire rods were about to be
shipped to Everett for the mill at that
point. This mill has been running
night and day for the past two weeks,
and there is not enough wire rods on

month longer, so it was feared that
tbe mill would have to shut down, but
this shipment of rods, however, will
be snUcient to keep the mill running
continuously for at least three months.

from the olip of 1893.

X Jove! What a beauty!
Who Is this, old mnnr The
speaker stood In on admiring
attitude before the picture of a young
girl, while the one questioned answer
ed briefly: "My sl8ter.,,
"O, I say, rauL that won't do. W
don't put our sisters' pictures In
frames like that."
"Don't vet? Well, I do. O, hang It,
Burt, don't you see that I'm busy
rnn't work while your tongue Is wag
ging. Get out of here now, and If you
wou't show your face here again to
day you shall spend the month of July
with me at my home, and then you
shall judge for yourself whether that
frame Is too good for my sister's pic
ture," and Paul Reynolds gave bis
chum a good-natured push toward the
door.
"Do you mean that? Hurrah! Why,
that would be worth a lifetime banish
nienb-no offense to you, old follow,"
and Burton Smith mildly expressed his
delight by turning somersaults across
the room, walking back on bis bands,
then, bringing his feet to the floor, be
shot upwnrds and, catching hold of
bar above his head, be drew himself
up aud whirled around the bar with
the proficiency of an acrobat, dropping
to tbe floor with a shout of overflowing
mirth. , - " .
"Get out of this, you rattlehead!"
And, having htm outside, Taul shut the
door In bis face, and heard hlui go
downstairs at a breakneck pace which
brought the good old landlady to the
door In alarm, expecting to And some
body at the bottom with a broken neck.
"Sakcs alive! Tbat Mr. Smith again!"
she exclaimed.
Burton's walk home had a tendency
to quiet his hilarity, but that face was
still before hi in, and after sitting In
deep thought for an hour he sprang up
with alacrity.
"I'll do It, by Jove! She can't feel
deeply offended, anyway, and I'll sign
only a part of my name. Better for tbe
future's sake to be on the safe side.
There, that'll do, I think,"
ueiie Keynoids stood with an open
letter In her hand, aud her eyes flash'
ed angrily as she spoke her thoughts
aloud. "Soft-headed Idiot! Heard of
tue through a friend, Indeed! This
stranger " -
Then something Ilka the truth swept
tLrough her mind and her fun-loving
mind reasserted Itself, and, going to
her desk, she wrote:
"Mr. Charles Burt Yocr most extra
ordinary letter savors strongly of the
Wedding Bells class, but you forgot to
stute whether your motive was for
"pleasure, pastime, or with a view to
matrimony.' Whatever your object
may be, permit me to say that you are
guilty of gross Impertinence. My friend,
Matilda Brlndle, would call you 'sassy.'
"Are you aware, sir, of tbe risk you
Incur by asking to correspond with
spinster of the tender age of 87) Let
me enlighten you. I will honestly de
scribe the picture which my mirror re
flects, and then, perhaps, you will con
gratulate yourself on having found a
person so frank as myself. My red
dish-yellow hair, already thin on top,
bangs In ringlets about my full-sized
ears, my freckled nose Is elevated by
nature to a high degree, my teeth are
conspicuous by tbe absence of not a
few, snd my greenish-gray eyes would
be my one redeeming feature if I were
not cross-eyed. I sm tall and command
ingmost emphatically commanding.
My Joints are too large to allow my
wearing rings, so don t send any,
am a strong-minded woman, sir, so
think well before you further commit
yourself. B. R."
When Burton Smith received this
mocking epistle he dove both hands
into his trousers pockets and stood gnz
ing at bis feet with a most dejected air.
No acrobatic performances now. O, no,
No occasion for them. But as the humor
of tbe whole affair atruck him. he
threw back his bead and laughed he
roared.
The little minx! Serves me right,
though. But how foolish she could
make a fellow feel. Smith, you're an
ass!"
Tbe June days passed, tbe eagerly
anticipated vacation drew near, and at
last Paul Reynolds and Burton Smith
found themselves In the quaint old
town of Castone, where they were hap
pily welcomed.
At first Burton rather stood in awe
of beautiful Belle Reynolds. Her love
ly face and graceful figure won univer
sal admiration, aud her sweet disposi
tion endeared her to alL Burton 8mltb
proved to be no exception. Their mu
tual love for all kinds of outdoor
sports threw them together constantly,.!
and they became Ann friends. Then as
tbe time for bis departure drew near
be began to realize that In leaving
Belle Reynolds behind he wag leaving
all that bad made life to bright for
him during the last few weeks. Yet be
felt that there was noreason why be,
comparative stranger, should claim
more than the friendship accorded hi in.
He would undoubtedly have gone
back to business with bis love untold

Belle In tbe little vine-covered summer
house -one morning with a woe-begone
expression and traces of tears upon ber
fair face. She hastily explained tbat

accompanied her words gave him new
counrge, and, taking both her bands

"May I hope, Belle, that you will

Forgive me for speaking so soon, but
you have become dear to me, and I am
conceited enough to believe tbat you
like me. Toll me, darling, that you can,
la time, care for me, and I will try to
be worthy of your dear love."
Whatever ber answer may have been,
suffice It to say that when they emerg

later their faces bore evidences of their
new-found happiness, -

Soon after their return to the city
raul went to Burton's atom, and see

"Eh, old fellow, changed your mind?"
"O, well, you know, she Is not my
