"Very often there are many words such as 'still,' "but' and the like used in a way not only useless but absolutely bad. Now, remember and knock 'em out." Not long afterward the copyreader was editing a short story sent from a fishing resort up north. The copyreader never weut fishing in his life and didn't know one piscatorial term from another. In the copy be found "the men finally qult still fishing and hegan troliIng." remembered very distinctly the in-

Shipbultdlug lu 1580.


The year 1899 produced 2,447,539 tons of new shipping, Great Britain leading, with 1.763.914 tons. The United States followed, with 293,964 tons, and Germany came next, with 179.235. One of the remarkable achievements of the year was Oceanic, one of the largest vessels the ever built. Another novelty was the steam turbine torpedo boat destroyer Viper, which makes some 35 knots an hour. A striking feature of the year's record was the increase of tonnage hullt on the great lakes. Seventy ves- sels, of 72,004 tons, were built on the great lakes. On our sea- board 75,313 tons of steel steam ves- sels were hullt, the largest output in our history .- Chicago Inter Ocean.

Cordoroy Roads.


What a pleasant ride together through Alpena connty! - pleasant save for the corduroy roads, which set us both aquiver, as with the old-titne ague, recalling the days when they rang the church hells every halt bour in Alpena to remind the settlera to take their quinine, und when sawmills (so runs the tale) were operated sole- ly by fever and ague power. Curious sights met our unaccustomed eastern eyes as we rode-log homesteads chinked with plaster, root houses half buried in the earth, sheds thatched with straw, "stump-pullers" (immense portable derricks) at work "clearing up," freqnent "dreens," hnge mounds of cobblestones newly plucked out of the fields, wagons loaded with cedar ties moving cityward, splendid crops on every hand; so, bless you! who minded the corduroy ?- R.

A Wallingford, Conu., paper makee the following reference to A. L. Plerce, formerly of this town, at present super- intendent and general manager of the Wallingford municipal electric light works. "Notone man in a thousand can fill the place of Supt. Pierce who com bines such a list of qualities that not only makes him a good publio servant, but a very desirable citizen. As a me chanic he knows every bolt in his ma chines. Ae an electrician he might be safely given charge of a thunderstorm


he can grace any kind of a ruller top. As sagacious business man there are but few who could hetter have populerized the system among its very opponents, and as an indomitable worker he earns his salary on an eighteen houre a day schedule, and it will be some time before his services will be exchanged for any- thing locel that is in sight. We have no desire to flatter Mr. Pierce, but in addi tion to the above enumeration. be ie the hest natured cuse we have ever struck."
