get . decent price for them. Another
TEA reason Tor the scarcity, possibly, was the fact
that the country roads had been so bad as to

merchant said that nothing would give him
greater pleasure than to have people save
their rags and bring them down to him, as he
wanted all he could get to send on to the
mill which took his business.
The reporter called on two or three other
dealers, but what they had to say only con-
trmed what the reader has already learned.
VIZ: that the visible supply' of rags was
indeed scarce, but that back of that was the
hidden supply in private houses, which
the fair prices were sure to bring on the mar
ket, though, II the market should once be-
come flooded, those prices were sure to take
drop.
THE CHEF VALUE OF THE ABOVE NFoR-
NATION
is, that 1t puts housekeeRers in the way OF
making q little money, for, for those rags
which they have hitherto failed to save, Or
have sacrificed to peddlers for mere trffle,
they can now get a respectable sum. Tut
tile reader must not imagine that the unQues-
toned rise III rags has had any special effect
IN causing the tremendous increase in
the price Of print-paper which is used
by newspapers. That is mainly made of
straw, Eastwood, or similar stock, small
percentage only of rag stock being used with
it. The chief use of the rags is for the manu-
facture Of letter and heavy book paper. It
Is claimed that in some mills 20 per cent of
rag pulp is used. On all average, however,
what with the present improved process, it
is not likely. that more than 10 per cent, If
that amount, is employed. It will be seen,
doubled that amounts to doubling the cost Of
merely one-tenth Of the papermakers' mate
rlals, and IS no Justification for the enormous
advance which the ring have made, to which
they will probably add a cent or SO more at
their meeting next month, providing the duty
on foreign paperis not repealed by that time.

The bright, sunny days, full OF frolcsorne -gIee,

And hear tho low song Of the wind through tina

As felt and heard in the sweet o@den time,
When the hours sped away like musical rhyme-

That held in caress and that shielded from harms
While low-spoken words, that once fell On my

Again in the cleaning In fancy hear.
But tears dim my eyes as the shadows fall fast,
For only memory Is left Of the past;
For Death from my lips snatched the lingering

And robbed all my life Of its fond tenderness.

Although the matter has not been defnitly

will differ somewhat from that of last season.

Peters is reported to have made an application

Biscuit for Horses

A singular experiment is at present under
trial in the French army. The minister Of
war, anxious to reduce the bulk of provis
ions to be carried during campaign, has
ordered that new kind Of biscuit should
be used as food for horses. On the conclusion
of the present manpuvers the experiment
will be rigidly tested. 7 70 sQuadrons ofcay-
airy and battery of artillery will at once
be put under the new system. The circular
of the minister directs ali the details, and or.
ders that commission composed Of four
officers and veterinary surgeon should sec
that the Instructions are completely carried
out, and report on Their progress and results.
The selected horses are to be weighed and
measured across the shoulders before the ex-
pertinent commences, and two other squad
rons CT cavalry snd II battery of artillery are
to be selected, composed, as nearly as can be-
of animals of the same weight and size. The
latter are to be placed under the war allow.
ance Of fodder, and both at once to be sub
jected to the estimated average fttigues of a
camgaign. During twelve days the expert
ment will be followed out, while the officers
charged with its conduct will constantly re.
port on its res u'ts. The horses are to be
supplied with the new food on the first day
of the campaign without any transition or
preparation for the change. The biscuits are
to be broken up but not be moistened, and
the horses are to be watered before each
meal.

a new volcano had broke out, and the girl
will cling tightly as though frightened, ifshe

will reassure her BY gentle pressure, if he
understands the dsnce, or knows anything
at all. AT the second crash they dodge, as
though some one had thrown blacksmith
shop at them, and they start in. They begin
by initiating the struggle for life, represent
ing person who is drowning, but at each
crash of the cymbSls and bass drum they
dodge and scoot to one side, then dart back
again, jam each other sideways, and then as
the crashes CT music become more terrific
and deafening they try to drive each other
through the floor by main strength, got des-
perate and claw and tear and pull, and all at
once they so raving mad with hydrophobia
and delirium tremers, and gnash their teeth

somewhat at length the advantages that
would accrue to Texas t ON wcolen manufac-
tories. Al the wool convention held at
Philadelphia it was shown that within the
last fiscal year the United States imported
more than half lis consumption of wool.

naturally arises, why do not the home grow

meet the whole home demand! The answer
is that the tariff, which was framed in their

Fraudulent pIOws.

The above is the heading to an advertise
ment of B. F. Avery & Sons, which appears
elsewhere. 1t seems that INSCRIPTIONS per-
sons have been toisting upon the public, base
limitations of goods of their manufacture, and
to protect themselves and their patrons they
have determined to prosecute every one who
uses these limitations as well as those who
make or sell them. The genuine goods of
Avery & Sons are such that have won for
themselves by ther excellence in all particular
the choice of thousands upon thousands of
the agricultural public, and limitations find
ready sale. You will do well to read the
advertisement in question, for it may save
you.trouble and put youon your guard, too,
against bogus articles.
