and that practically means sill Of them,
are opposed TO the river route because
they want the long haul This, of course, is
expected, but at the same time we should
much doubt if il will justify the respondent
view that the producers of Iowa might as
we'll be without the river route as to have 1t.
How would it be, suppose in time the river
route becomes so practicable that produce
can be shipped from Chicago to the river
and thence to the ocean as cheap as 1t can
te sent from Chicago to New York; Shall
the railroads haul Iowa produce to
Chicago and thence back to the
Mississippi. and yet be shipped to New Or
leans as cheap Is 1t can be to New YORK?
The statement Of such proposition shows
it's importance. And yet 1t 10 fact that
100 900 bushels of wheat have gone from
Chicago to ST. Louis for shipment over the
river route This fact alone shows the hope
of successful shipments by the Mississippi.
We hope the time Is not far distant when
heavy products can be shipped from Du-
buque to New Orleans and thence to the
markets of the world cheaper than it posi-
bly, can DO from Chicago by way Of New
York to the same markets. As soon as this
can be done, with the msnufsctur.
ing that is rapidly being estab-
ished in These towns, there is no reason why
cities like Winons, Dubuque, Davenport,
Burlington, Keokuk, Sioux City, Omaha,
Council Blnff, and other towns that could be
mentioned, may not become what Buffalo.
Rochester, Syracuse. Utica, Troy, Albany,
Detroit and Cleveland have become on the
line of the water route to the east. AS has
been truly said, "wherever the water ways oil
the country have been utilized to the greatest
extent, there the largest measure of material
prosperity has been enjoyed by those located
thereon and near them"

passing down the steps, after an inspection
of the building, he stumbled and fell, break
ing his arm. A capitol policeman picked
him up and after preparing q cot sent for
surgeon, who set the arm. This over, the
tramp asked the privilege of sitting around in
the capitol park until be got we'll enough to
go about again, saying be had no money, and
knew that habitual loungers we're liable TO ar.
rect on a charge of vsgrsncy. The desired
privilege was granted; and, in addition, an
arrangement was made by which he was
given comfortable sleeping place in the
building The officer also managed to bring
enough food from bis boarding house to
supply him. 10 about two weeks the tramp
gave notice that be would start west. He
was exceedingly thankful for the kindness
shown him by the officer, and said if be ever
got half chance he would endeavor to
repay il. The tramp met centennial tourist
from Salt AXE City, who happened to know
his father. After talking, the tourist offered
to take him west IL he wanted to 20. The
offer was accepted, and the capitol policeman,
Arthur Thomas, went to the depot with
them and babe them good by.
Now let four years pass, and the rest OF
the story comes in. Arthur Thomas, who
was a capitol policeman in 1876, is now, and
has been for more than year, secretary oil
Utah territory, having been appointed by
President Hayes on the recommendation of q
number of leading men, republicans and
democrats. Some weeks since q man named
George entered Mr.. Thomas ofiicp
Salt Lske TO ascertain something about L
boundaries and survey of certain sections
mineral lands. They recognized esch o,i.,l
and had a long talk. The tramp had pros,
pered. Besides having wife, ne can draw
and have honored his check for 100000
Everything he has touched since he has beer
in the territory has turned into money, one
way or another. The ex-policemvn and the
ex tramp can be seen strolling or driving
about Salk Lake any afternoon, and the
wives Of each are equally inseparsble.

The Mheat in RIossom.

No grateful zephyr breathes at eventide,
FOndly expected all the sultry day:
Stiffness oppressive reigns every side
While tardily. on his descending way.
The crimson sun withdraws his scorching ray
All nature feels the burden: nor around
Is seen moving thing. The lambs Of play
Are wearied, and now sleep. The birds have found
Long since their nightly shelter. Hush! there is
sound
High overhead the swallows pose and dart
(The tropic warmth has tempted from the nest
The gaping hedglings, who the novel art
In their soft beaks, whose frequent snaps arrest
The vacant ear below; deep the calm.
Does this profound tranquility suggest
No thought in sympathy-ths peace embam
No treasured Renaissance Hark Joyous psalm.
Though on the wide-stretehed fields the sea-green
corn
Stands motionless-no jOinted stem yibrates,
No boom-upped head, unified, aslant is borne,
No pendent blade a breath now Rgitates;
gracious stiffness. He who animates
The mute celestial spheres with praiseful strain
In Reasons ear attent, in thee creates
kindred voice. Though silent thy refrain
To sense-bound hearing, tits sung each year again.
For, in the universal quietude,
OmnlpOtence the breath of heaven holds chained,
While storing from its boundless plenitude
The tender-blOssOmed corn. So is there gained
The battle Of the peoples life; unstained
The battle-ground by hostile peoples blood.
"Be filled with bread the still small voice prOclairnE
Unheard by sense. The fields charged with food
And IN It's calm the landscape shouts "An praise &c
God! GOOD Words.

THE HOUSEHOLD.

Economical housewives cover the table with
a square Of baize, canton flannel, or cloth of
some kind, over which the linen one is spread
this improves the appearance, keeps the cloth
from wearing at the edge of the table, and
prevents noise.
When you buy q broom, instead of leaving
il standing in a corner Of the kitchen. and SO
making it one-sided, bore a hole in the handle.
tie a stout cord in it, and hang it up when you
are through using it, or screw staple in the
top of the handle to hang it up by the broom

much while it lasts.

of corn, CRATE it, stir in four eggs, one-fourth

A new device for arranging flowers, as Civ
en- in Nick's Monthly, consists of piece of
cork about a quarter of an inch thick, circular
in form and perforated with holes like the
rose of watering-pot. The diRmster of the
cork is made TO correspond TO the size of the
saucer or shallow dish with which it is TO be
used. The cork floating on the top Of the wa
ter supports the flowers whose stems are in
serted through the holes.
Guano water, says the Rural New Yorker,
is an Gntidote to mealy bugs, red spiders, and
thrips when applied to house plants The
plants assume an increased thrift, and the in
sects choose other localities The old proper
ton of a tablespoonful OF guano to a gallon
of water is applied in the following way: put
in the guano, stir well, and leave the liquid a
a day or two to settle; then pour off the liq-
uid, leaving carefully the sediment It will
be safe to add as much more water.

The Woman's Silk Culture Association of
the United States propose TO hold an exhibit
of the silk productions of the country in Phil
adelphia this fall American silk and silk
goods, from the worm spinning its cocoon TO
the finished heavy gros-grain fabric, will be
shown, and all art schools arc invited 10 send
paintings and embroideries to make the dis
play more attractive.
This undertaking deserves more than a
passing notice. If ever any enterprise earned
success through its indomitable energy, per
severance and courage, this association of
few women has earned it, Their work itself
IS based upon sound and practical policy
The silk manufactures of the United States
average about $50, 600, 600 in value, and
about Sl3, 900, 600 worth of raw silk is i'm
ported as material The aim of the associa-
ton IS as they state, to enable the thousands
OF needy women and children in our own
land TO raise this raw material For this pur-
pose they have established schools, they sell
trees, eggs, books of instruction, and act as
middlemen to buy cocoons from small pro-
ducers and forward them in gross TO the mills
at Paterson and Boston all this without any
pecuniary profit 10 themselves. Silk culture
has been carried on more extensively in the
United States than was generally known, but,
oddly enough, both eggs and ooooons have
gone 10 Marseilles TO find a market at the very
Tune our own SILK manufacturers were import
ing silk from France. This was principally
owing TO the want Of any machinery for reel
ing silk in this country. The mill owners
wanted the reeled silk, not the cocoons. APP
peals have been made in vain to the govern
ment TO establish a flature. But this Wo-
mans Association propose now TO start one
in Philadelphia. The great difficulty in the
way of this industry viii be removed. They
request silk culturists 10 send tabulated state
ments Of their whole product in eggs, CO.
eoons, both pierced and whole, TO the office
of the Association, 1925 Chestnut street, in
order that a definite idea may be obtained of
the extent of the business, before the exhibit
ton.
There rs no sudden enormous profit 10 be
made in silk culture, and nothing in it to
tempt men of capital to take it up. 1t would
not pay them if they did. Men to tend the
worms cannot be hired here for 10 cents per
day, as in China. But il will pay women
youths and the otherwise unemployed mem
bers of farmers fRmily TO engage in il, and
out Of the vast aggregation of their individual
labors 1t will, as 1t has done in France, prove
magnificent addition 10 our national wealth
