for unlimited deveiopmenI. AT tne r1gnt
end Of the case is very rich display Of mil.
linery, including many new things from
European centers of fashion, among them q
beautiful bonnet just from Paris. Below
there is handsome display of watered,
ombre, tiger and leopard plushes, and also
a few of the many rich things they have
in fowerr. The dry goods display includes
many new and rich things in dress goods,
ladies' wraps, dresses and trimming mate
rials. A special feature of the exhibit is a
very elegant evening dress of silk and velvet.
1t is cut in accordance with the newest de-
signs, was made in their establishment, and
is q specimen of the work they are doing in
this line. It is of silk, trimmed with velvet,
and finished with white Spanish lace. One
of the most attractive features In the display
and one that has been much admired by
ladies, is beautiful bed-spread and two
pillow shams, made of Torchon lace and old
gold satin, silk embroidered. Another is a
very handsome cloak made of black satin de
Lyon, lined with the new tiger plush and
trimmed on the outside with black plush and
bead-cord and tassels. This garment is made
in the prevailing style with Japanese shawl
sleeves, and attracts great deal of attention,
as does also the new things in striped ombre
satin. The display is altogether too large
and varied in character to be described in the

The I" Acme Fruit and Vegetable Drier,
exhibited by the inventor, r. E. Burns. Of
112 O'Farrell street, San Francisco, deserves
more than passing netice, for it is upon the
success of such inventions as this that the
prosperity of the State in great measure
depends. Mr.. Burns has on exhibition and
at work one of his driers, and a large amount
of fruit and vegetables dried by his process.
That this drier has points of superiority over
all others is beyond doubt. 1t is the
cheapest, because it consumes less fuel.
The fruit is dried in the shortest time
and is kept perfectly clean, because
it is not handled, being received on rods from
the picker and dried whole. This obviates
the necessity of spreading and the consequent
handling Of the fruit in drying. The main
point of excellence, however, is in the abso-
Lutte uniformity of temperature and the fact
that every part is under absolute control.
Green and partly dried fruit may be on the
different trays at the same time, and it is not

Rnnning Mills hY EIectricitr.

Electricity has been put TO many uses,
and one of the most ingenious applica-
tions of it is to the middlings purifier
in place of the air blast. FRACTIONAL
electricity is employed, the middlings
passing under hard rubber rollers cleo
trifed by friction against sheepskin
cushion. The bran is attracted to the
roller, and is swept off by brushes, the
middlings passing through the bolts in
the order Of their fneness. The machine,
which has been in practical use at a
large mill for a year past, is said to be
economical Of power, and works with
out the dust and waste involved in any
process Of putrefaction by air. 1t is
quite within the range Of probability
that some day great Touring mills will
have their machinery run by electrical
engines, converting the power of water
wheels at distance, be lighted by cleo
tric lamps and have their middlings
purified by another kind Of electricity.

Robins0n Crnsoe,s island.

The island of Juan Fernandez, which
De Foe has made immortal as the scene
of the adventures of Robinson Crusoe,
was some time since leased by the
Chilian government, to which it be-
longs, to man named Won Rodt, the
son of Protestant clergyman at Berne,
Switzerland. The career of Won Rodt
has been almost as adventurous as that
of Crusoe himself, and in that respect he
is worthy to be the successor of De Foes
hero. At the age of twenty-one Won
Rodt entered the Austrian service as
Lieutenant of Cuirassiers, and fought
valiantly during the campaign of 1866,
receiving at Nachod wound SO severe
that he was obliged to quit the service.
After the termination of the war he went
to live at Paris on small pension al
lowed him by the Austrian government.
When the Franco Prussian war broke
out he enlisted in French regiment of
the line, and distinguished himself by
his bravery at Champigny. In 1871 he
emigrated to Chill, and engaged in trade
with so much success that he was able
to lease the island OF Juan Fernandez.
He purchased steamer and transported
thither small colony of agriculturists.
He raises on the island cattle and yege-
tables, which he sells to the whalers
who revictual there He governs his
subjects after the fashion of Crusoe, dis
tributing to them rations in person, and
keeping a patriarchal eye on their
morals and education. His affairs pros
per marvellously, and he has already
succeeded in putting in cultiyationmore
than half Of the island.

Handy to KNOW.

Fire insurance policies do not include
in their indemnity among other things
the following: Fences and other yard
fixtures; also store furniture and fix
lures and plate-glass doors and windows,
when the plates are of dimensions of
three feet or more. tits important that
this fact be mentioned in the wording
of the policy, if such articles are to be
included under the policy Careless,
Ignorant OF unsopisticated brokers and
agents very frequently make mistakes
in this respect. The following articles
also are not included in the security Of
fire insurance policy, unless mention
ed, viz: ieWelry, plate, watches, musl-
cal instruments, ornaments, medals, Gu
riosities, patterns, printed music, print
ed books, engravings, picture frames,
paintings, sculptures, cast and models
money or bullion, bills, notes, accounts,
deeds, evidence of debt, or securities.
These should always be specified. Ii
building falls, no insurance will attach,
or cover its loss, unless it is caused by
fire. Stolen property is not to be paid
by the insurance company. Losses from
explosions are not to be paid, unless fire
ensues, and then only the actual fire
loss is to be settled for. Property
standing on leased ground must be so
represented to the company and ex-
pressed in the policy. Goods on storage
must be represented as such. The as
sured, in case of fire, must invariably
do his best to save it, and carelessness
in this respect will vitiate his claim. In
no instance. shall he abandon his prem
ises to fremen or thieves. Where q
party has trustworthy and intelligent
representative, agents or brokers, whose
business it is to study these points and
consult his own and the assured's inter-
ests, by so doing it is sometimes safer
than to risk it by attending to the in
surance himself.

;. .I,ll Take Care Of Cesar,

Ex-Goy. Thomas A. Hendricks, now
en- route for Mexico, told Kansas City
reporter a very good story about an old
friend in St. Louis. Said he: 'Late
one evening last year Col. Don Morrison
and party of boon companions were
returning home from downtown, where
they had been enjoying whist and wine.
Pausing in front Of his elegant residence
Col. Don insisted upon the party's com
ing in and taking parting glass. "No,
no, Dom we'll go home" sIt's very
late, and we won't keep you up" These
and similar expostulations were made,
but Col Don kept on insisting. At last
one of the gentlemen suggested that
maybe hrs. Morrison might object.
The colonel seemed deeply offended by
this. He drew himself up proudly and
said scornfully, 'sNow youshall come in,
for intend to show you that / am
Caesar in this housep Scarcely had he
uttered this proud declaration than a
second-story window raised and femi-
nine voice, cold and cutting, rang out
on the pale air: '.You are right, gentle
men go home to your wives. I'll take
care Of Casarp OF course the party
went home, and Col. Don pensively
retired.

TIMELY TOPICS.


Ghastly mysteries accompany the life
of great city. A little steamer the
other day carried from BlackwelVs
Island, New York, to the pauper burial
ground forty-three bodies OF persons
who had been found dead and taken to
the morgue, but were unidentified and
sent to nameless graves after due time
had been given for friends to call and
recognize them.
The Mormon religion has been stead
lily extending itself g For several
years, says the San Francisco Chronicle,
'sits members have been swarming IN
large numbers from the parent hive and
establishing foHrishing colonies in the
adjacent States and Territories. They
are pouring in steady streams into Colo
RADIO, Montana, Washington and Wyom-
ing. They are already sufficiently
strong in Idaho to hold the balance OF
political power; and wherever they go
they act and vote in implicit obedience
to their ecclesiastical authorities"
a contract has been ratified by the
government ef New Fonndlaad With a
company of New York capitalists inter
ested in projecting railroad on that
island, which cedes to them 1000, 600
acres of land indefeasibly, and these
1000, 600 acres cover nearly the whole
of the great serpentine belt, which con-
tains copper in unlimited quantities.
The New Yolk syndicate, besides being
guaranteed an annual subsidy of $780,
600, have succeeded in laying their
hands for all time on the whole of the
ascertained mineral regions of the
country. It is thought that this move
ment forebodes ultimate annexation to
the United States, but its promoters
deny this.
1t is so rare to find an insurance COM
pany confounded by its own devices that
any record of such an event should be
read with interest In England man
insured his life in company, and hav
ing been killed by an accident the
company refused to pay the policy on
the ground of the intemperate habits of
the deceased. He certainly was an in
temperate man, but clause in the pol
icy bound him to forfeit his claims if he
g became Incorporate" The Judge,
however, held that. as the deceased had
always been intemperate and continued
so, he had not g become incorporate" !"
and consequently had not forfeited his
claim The case and decision have
amusing points, although the judges
ruling seems to be an encouragement to
Incorporate men to remain SO, however
much it may also be effeetual in keep
ing sober men temperate.

The Matter Of American Tea.

The examination In New York last week OF
American grown tea produced q less favorable
report thao the tests made In this city few
days before. This was probably disappolnt-
ment TO Commissioner lie Due, but 1t can
hardly be considered surprising. Neither
should it be regarded as dIscouraglng. The
dealers and experts OF New York are more
familiar With the teas OF China and Japan, and
were naturally Influenced In their taste aud
judgment oy the standards usually applied to
those products whereas the samples submit
ted were OF the varieties grown In India, which.
whether as good or not. or better, as those
accustomed TO their use generally claim, are
something quite different, both In flavor and
strength. In addition to this circumstances the
fact must not be overlooked that the importers
Of New York have their business comoina.
lions all made and their capital all IT,
vested In foreign grown teas, and their
feelings would therefore naturally be enlisted
IN their own interests and against an en- er.
prise which might In time impair the value OF
their business plants There is, therefore, as
we have said, no ground for Encouragement in
The New York verdict. There is no doubt that
good tea can be grown In certain parts of the
United States, and the flavor of such is better
than that which Is imported, since 1t is MOTOR
1ous that the quality of all varieties Is materi-
ally Injured by sea voyage. Besides, the
strength and flavor of all teas depend greatly
on their freshness, and this can always be
secured IN home grown article No such
guarantee can be counted upon In regard to
imported cargoes, which are oftener stale and
musty than otherwise. Ithas been the fashion,
we know, to rldlcule and ballttle the persistent
endeavorS made by the Agricultural Depart
ment In the direction OF producing American
teas; but such attacks, while some OF them
have been witty. are neither wise NOR p1tr,o.fc
On the other hand, every encouragement ought
to be extended to so pralseWorthy an end, and
1t will be time enough to derlde the Depart
ments efforts and pronounce them failure
when it is eonclusively proven that they can
not be made a success.
