IRISH POPLINS.

The history of the manufacture Of Irish
poplin is full Of interest We can mag
inc group of desolate men, exhiied by
cruel iuiU stice from the sunny shores of
France, landing in 1898 on the rugged
coast Of the Emerald Isle. Few but in
dustrious, prosecuted but persevcring,
this little band Of Intelligent men estab-~
llshed the silk trade, which has since
been modified into the manufacture OF
poplin. -,

their country by the blind policy OF Lou

qualities of this lovely fabric are not SO
Well known; being made of pure silk and
pure wool, poplin yields to the slightest

HOW TO MAKE CONCRETE BUILD.
INGS.
[From the American Agriculturist.I

From the American AGriculturist.l
A very substantial and cheap building
may be put up with concrete, which is
mixture of hydraulic lime, sand, and
coarse gravel GA broken stone. Common
lime may be used for common farm build
ings, or even for dwellings, but 1t is not
nearly so durable when exposed to the
weather, hydraulic lime should be used
for good building 1t has also been
found that broken limestone is better
than any other stone TO use in concretes,
q more perfect adhesion being formed be.
tween the particles The proper proper
tons TO be mixed are 90 parts OF hydrau-
lie lime mixed 80 paste with water, 30
parts of washed sand, and so parts of
broken stone or gravel. The chips from
limestone quarrles make the very best
material for concrete. No mere should
be mixed at once than can bG used in
day, as it hardens very rapidly. To pro-
ceed to build, the foundation must be
made, and the course mnst be laid on it
In box or mold, shown in the engraving.
This mold IS laid in its place ; The cement
already mixed is shogeled in and beaten
down with q hammer even with the top
of the mold, which IS thn moved into
place for laying the next block. The
mold being open at one end, laps Il few
inches over the end Of the first block,
which holds it in place aud permits a
close Joint to be made. When the first
rouno is laid two small sticks are laid
across the blocks, and the mold rests on
them until filed. These sticks, when the
building is completed, are sawo off close
to the wall, and if it is desired to nail
anything to the wall they will furnish
held for the nails. AS the wallis arc car
ed up, the door and window frames are
laid in their places. Thus process is so
simple that any Intelligent mason is COM
.petent to carry it out, and as the material
is very strong and sets very quickly.
eight to twelve inches is sufficient thick
ness for wall Of any ordinary dwelling
house When common lime is used in
stead of hydraulic lime, more time must
be- given for the concrete to set.

THE YELLOWSTONE PARK.
WHAT cALIFoRNIANs THINK OF 1T.

From the Department of the Interior,
with its appreciation, comes to us a map
and plan of national park to be set
apart as government reservation. The
location Is on the head waters of the Ye-
ioWstone River, between the 44th ana
40th parallels of north latitude, and ITO
ana III degrees 10 minutes longitude
west from Greenwich. The area of the
proposed park is 40 by 331S miles, en-
braclng 1888 square miles and fraction.
or about So 525 acres. In the southeast
corner Of this parallelogram comes in
Cumming almost due north) the Yellow
stone River. After flow Of ten miles
the river enters Yellowstone Lake, of an
irregular shape, ten to fifteen miles in
extreme Iengt and width. Near the cen,
ter of the park the river debouches from
the lake, and after traversing for few
miles the hot springs region, tumbles
over the Upper Falls and enters the
Great Canon, SIX miles long Coming
out Of this canon it receives number Of
small tributary streams, from the east
west, and passes through another region
OF hot SPRING. The southern part of the
park is partly watered by the head of
Snake River, flowing southw st, aud with
Clark's Fork forming the Columbia Riv-
er About ten miles from the sonth est
corner Of the park, is Madison Lake, a
small body Of water two miles long by
one wide. This lake gives rise to Mad
ison's Fork Of tia Missouri, which flows
northward and westw ard, watering, with
many tributaries, q large part of the west
center OF the park The lcve. lands are
along Madison's Fork, and are in the ecu
ter Of the park, spreading around the
great plateau of Yellowstone Lake and
the, hot springs 1t is & most picturesque
region, embracing some Of the grandeSt
and some OF the most beautiful scenery
on the continent, with lakes, rivers,
mountains and valleys, all in charming
proportion and most pleasing contrast.
But the policy Of setting apart SO large
an are of the public domain for the ex-
elusive delights Of the rich, and shutting
out actual settlers and cutiyators, is un-
American and ought not to prevail

LOVE LAND.

There's a far-of mystic country .s,
Summed by hopes eternal CLEAN.
In whose fair and pleasant valleys
have wandered in dream,
Where the orOOklets run in music
'TWlXt their emerald banks along,
Where the forests wave in anthems,
SWayed by breezes winged with song.
There the whole great heart of nature
ThrObs with melody for aye, .
And the flowers that bud and blossom,
Never wither, fade apd die
But for me the cline is distant,
Distant far as mornings beam, ,.
In it's fair and pleasant valleys
have fingered in a dream
And pure and radiant being
Leads me gently by the hand,
When through slumber's dusky portals
JoYfully seek that land. II. ....
And beside me in her beauty,
LingeFs like the shimmering beam
Of some star that shines in heaven, +
Till Waken from my dream. aa

Is the glorious land Of Love, ..rt.
Where love is love forever,
And all other things above
And my heart yearns toward that being
As / breast life's rapid stream, O.
Ever distant from me, waking,
Ever near me in my dream.

IT Is alleged that large numbers Of
French are preparing to leave their ma
tive land and seek homes beyond the sea.
The French are not a colonizing race, and
they only abandon La Belle France when
forced by religious prosecutions or very
unusual circumstances. Their skill IN
the sciences and arts makes them deslr-
able acquisition for any country, and it is
to be hoped that those who contemplate
emigration will prefer the United States
to the turbulent republics of Central and
South America. The French. Canadian

FIVE THOUSAND; DOLLARS FOR A HORSE

New York horse enterprise is that OF
Robert Bonner, Of the, Ledger, paying
$4,000 for q horse yet unborn. You see
Bonn er's favorite colt "Startle trotted
ia quarter of a mile, to road wagon, the
other day, in 80 seconds,-equal to a mile
in 2:13, which ties Dexter's best time.
No sooner had the wondrous little horse
accomplished this feat than Bonner start
ed for Poughkeepsie, where lives the
dame of " Startle," who happens JUST now
to be preparing to present her owner
with a brother, or lnayhap sister to that
fast youth For this 'little stranger -
the eager Bonner lays down the handsome
sum aforesaid, taking all chances of its
being colt or filly, or, in fact, of its
arriving at all. Bonner is not 4 betting
man, and never trots his horse for money;
if he did, he'd have matters so fixed that
this colt would come into the world and
find himself with half a dozen races. al.
ready on his hands or feet.
