A Former "Corn King" in Penury.

The Gibson (Ill.) Courier prints the
following One of the saddest and most
complete financial wrecks of the day is
that of the great Sullivant estate. The
assignees sale of the personal property
took place last Thursday and Friday,
the lands having been surrendered to the
mortgages. Everything was disposed
of, and to-day M. L. Sullivant, the great
corn king of the world, is without lands
and without roof to shelter his family
that he can call his own. Under the en-
forced sale and foreclosure, we learn,
the estate failed to realize enough to pay
the indebtedness of 100000. The
melting away of this once kingly estate
is remarkable example of "how riches
take to themselves wings" Mr.. Sulli-
wants farming operations were on the
most colossal scale in the country, and
his failure only emphasizes the lesson
taught by repeated smaller failures on
the part of others, that large farms do
not pay in his country. 1t is not likely
that farming on the scale carried on by
MIR. Sullivant will ever again be at
tempted in this State, and his magnifi-
cent domain of 40 900 acres will doubt
less be Gu. up into numerous small
farms. And while we sympathize with
Mr.. Sullivant in his failure, we cannot
but regard this as the best disposition
to be made of these fine lands. They
will furnish homes for several hundred
happy families.

Velvet, il wet, becomes hard, knotty,
and shiny, and to all appearances spoil
ed, but can. be fully restored, looking as
well as when first taken from the store.
IL it is made quite damp, wet thoroughly
-only not enough to drip-on the
wrong side, and then with the assistance
OF another held over a very hot iron,
but not allowed to touch the iron at all.
One should hold the hot iron face upper
most, while another holds the damped
velvet close to the iron. In q few min
utes the "pile" rises, and the velvet be-
comes like new; the heat of the iron
sends the water through the tissues of
the velvet, forcing the steam out at the
upper side, thus separating the small
fossy fbres that, having been dampened
or wet on the surface, fiatten down and
adhere together in hard punches. If
one should attempt to iron the velvet
where it has been wet, it would only
hatten these fbres still more and make
the surface harder; for this reason it is
important that the velvet should not
touch the hot iron.
After the velvet assumes it's proper
appearance it is we'll to spread it over
a skirt board, or table, and brush gent
ly with soft brush. Be sure that it is
thoroughly free from dampness before
putting it away in it's proper place.
When velvet is crushed by packing or
use, hold the parts defaced over basin
OF hot water-the lining, or wrong side,
next the water-and the "pile" will
soon rise up and look like new.-Mrs.
II. w. Beecher.

Workers Underground.

1t is not generally known to what ex-
tent we are indebted to worms for the
productiveness of our gardens and fields.
1t has been found by series of expert.
ments carried out by German natura-
list that the tunnels made by worms into
the earth are frequently of much corvioo
to plants whose roots occupy the chan.
nels that have thus been made. The
mold of our gardens, and fields, too, is
improved to an almost inconceivable ex-
tent by the burrowing of these humble
insects. Each worm, IN less than week,
passes it's own weight in mod, and the
soil thus produced is fine aid light, and
extremely helpfulto to the growth of plants.
When it is remembered that there are in
every acre some 81, 600 worms and that
in addition to forming every day about
thirty-seven pounds of fine mold they
open up the subsoil and render it fertile,
we shall gain some slight conception OF
our Indebtedness to these apparently
quiet, insignificant and generally un-
thought-of little workers.

William Grace.


AS general inquiry of "What is Grace's
Saive, and who is its originator ?" may seem
10 be question worthy of being answered, we
nave been induced to give the following brief.
yet truthful account of its history This Salve
is vegetable preparation, invented in the
seventeenth century by Or. william Grace,
VINO was surgeon in King James army, and
VINO from that time always used it in his pro-
1esslonal practice, whenever soreness or inf1am-
nation presented itself. AS medical agent
lor the cure of wounds, it was followed with
great success, and thousands Of the veterans
that were wounded in the campaigns Of 1883
and 1883 owed to this salve the salvation Of
their lives. Col. Richard Grace, who WAS King
James chamberlain, introduced this Salve into
the royal palace, where it was used with the
greatest success, and highly esteemed for its
virtues in the cure Of sores. At the siege Of
Athlone, Col Grace ordered 1t to be admins
tered to his oompatriots who were wounded
during the memorable day Of the battle and
it was used with such success that the head
surgeon Of the army at Aughrim ordered DR..
Grace to manufacture 100 gross, and distribute
It among the hospitals before the battle. On
the sad defeat at Aughrim, after Ginkles army
took possession Of the battlefield, several
ambulsnces, which had been abandoned by the
retreating army, we're found to contain sealed
cases OF the Salvs. The English surgeons test
ed it upon their wounded and ascertained its
value, and thus were both of the contending
armies befriended by it. Both DR.. William
Grace aud Ool. Richard Grace died in the cam
paign Of 169l-the former Of disease, the latter
killed in the intrenchments Of Athlone, with
the hag of his country wrapped around him,
cheering his men on to victory. After the
death Of DR.. Grace, the Salve WAS not used
much outside Of his family, until the rebellion
Of 1898, when William Grace, grandfather Of
the subscriber, applied its virtues, at the bat
tie of Ross, to his brave comrades who fell
wounded while fighting for the rights Of their
country. This salve was quite extensively used
in certain localities of Ireland, being furnished
gratuitously by the subscribers parents until
1918, when they left the land of their nativity
and came to this country, bringing with them
the secret of the Salve they received from their
ancestors. They continued to make the Salve,
as before, for their neighbors, free Of charge,
until the fall Of 1861, when the frequent calls
for it, and the serious cases cured by it, in
duced the subscriber to bring it into more gen.
tral notice, and to charge small price for the
article that has received the recommendation
Of patriots upon the battle-felds OF yore az
well as from persons Of the present day

A Mountain Garden.

A garden 21, 800 feet above the level
of the sea is curiosity anywhere, and
notably so outside the tropics, yet there
is such an one at Summit, Rio Grande
county, Colorado. The subjoined ac-
count of this mountain garden is from a
letter from Mr.. @. E Robbins, volun-
teer signal service observer, and con-
nected with the Little Annie mine
"Radishes grow to be five inches
long, and half an inch thick turnips

tear of outdoor exposure?"
Wherever marble can be used this

it is not suited for statuary--the grain
is not close enough butfor all building
purposes it is just as good as marble,

regard that as of the first Importance,
and this as only an accidental piece Of
good fortune. The discovery with re-
gard to the magnet was the result Of
long research, and though finally sue
ceeded, as much by hit as by wit, still
it was only fair that I should. At the
end of fifteen years experiments, sud-
denly hit upon something greater than
l had hoped for I feel that it is more
important than the marble, and so I
devote myself to it. I have patented
the marble-making process in the United
States, and have had an offer to buy
the right of manufacture there from q
very large manufacturing establishment
in central New York"
The above account of Miss Hosmer's
invention of a new motor has called
forth letter to the Post from j. Linton
Chapman, an artist now in New York,
who claims this invention is his own,
wrought out by his own individual
thought and labor, and that Miss Hos
mer merely advanced a small sum of
money for the purpose of completing
the models. On the other hand, Mr..
j. A. @. Gray, who claims to know both
parties, asserts that Mr.. Chapman was
simply Miss Hosmer's business agent,
and that he invention was wholly the
lady's work.
