A Pacific Coast Millionaire.
rom the San Francisco Chronicle.

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
Look at Sir Claus Speckels, for instance.
He makes the year round 600 barrels of
sugar day, containing 275 pounds of sug-
ar each, worth, on an average, $50 barrel.
The refinery, it is true, does not run on
Sundays, but often runs day and night for
long periods. so that 6t0 barrels day the
year round is about fair estimate. This
makes business of SIS, 900 a day, or
S. $40 000p anum. The ole sugar trade
of the city and coast amounts to about &c.
700, 900 annually, and is controlled alb
olutely by Sir Claus. On the sugar which
he manufactures himself he must make
clear profit of $40 barrel, or $2,19O,0OO
a year. The government duty paid by
eastern refners on raw sugar will average
about two and half cents per pound;
the sugar is two cents pound higher here
han it is in the east.
These two items give the knight mar
gin of four and half cents profit. In
addition, it must be remembered that he
produces large proportion of his raw sugar
on his labor contract plantations at min
imum expense. Il is perfectly reason
able to assume that one-third of the price
of every barrel of sugar he sells is clear
profit to him. I have frequently heard his
income estimated at $4,000 day, or So,
000,O 900 year. The meanest phase is,
that while be will allow no sugar to be
imported if he can help it, he takes ad-
vantage of scarcity Of sugar in the mar
ket and raises the price on his customers
He has repeatedly done this. Nobody
knows how rich he is, or what his sugar
plantations are worth. He thinks nothing
of setting out hundreds of dollars worth
of champagne in an evening for the benefit
of his friends at his clubhouse. He il
credited with having boosted that ne viii

Stanford can no longer make his railroad
pay, and when Flood can no longer squeeze

Hints on Selecting Cattle
Written by George B. Lor ing, United States
Commissioner of Agriculture


Written by George B. Loring, United States
Commissioner Of Agriculture.
The increase in the number and value of
cattle Of the United States during the last
decade has given unusual importance to
branch of our farming industry, which has
at all times been considered worthy of the
highest consideration. The old French
adage: "Many cattle good farming: few
rs as true now as it was when uttered long
before the invention and use of commercial
fertilizers had created rivalry for the
manure of the barn yard and cellar. The
recent introduction of live cattle into the
list of American exports has, moreover,
added greatly to the inducement for in
creasing our herds. And in every section,
on the small farm and on the broad pas
lures of the prairie, the selection, breeding
and feeding Of cattle continues to increase
and to receive more and the care Of the
eSss 81 mo4e sn II sS shpo5 Sst
states, not including New York, Penn

Of oxen and mich COWS has increased more

3,072,351, From these figures it will an

and that while the export Of live cattle
aud beef receives great attention the de-
mand for butter, cheese and milk is by no
means lessened. There are remote grazing
lands which are useful for the production
of beef alone, it is true, and to them be.
longs business totally different from that
which is followed in what are known as
the dairy sections Of our country. In
choosing, therefore, the cattle which the
American farmer is to feed he must be
governed by location and market,

GIimDses at the Fashions,

Large square pillows are used without
holsters. These have gone out Of vogue.
Embroideries and laces are used for trim
mings of pillow slips and pillow shams.
The pillow slips exactly fit the pillows, have
a broad double border made by allowing
two inches more muslin in length and width
when cutting out the slip. They are fast
ened together at the opening with pearl
studs, four in each slip. The shams are
tucked, embroidered and trimmed accord
ing to the fancy and taste Of the maker.
Fluted rutfies edged with laea makea pretty
trimming.
The N. Y, Post says: Checked and
striped wooden goods, serges, vigognes,
cheviot cloth and limousine are the most
fashionable materials for autumn walking

short, round skirts, either laid in very broad.
fiat box plaits from belt to toe, or with three
strait founces put on in hollow plaits. In
the latter case wide scarf is draped over
the skirt and knotted loosely, low on the
left side.
The most refined black dresses are bright
ened by touches of color.
A corsage bouquet of artificial flowers is
now sent home with new street dress in
New York.
Bright colored stripes and checks are
again in favor, and those who rush after
every novelty will at once appear in zebra
CARDS showing as many different hues as
the ancient costume worn by Joseph him
self.
Many of the new fall round hats, and a
few of the mitigated poke bonnets, have a
fall of Spanish lace at the edge just deep
enough to shade the eyes. This drapery is
very becoming to most faces, and as the
fashion gains ground and the width of the
lace grows triae deeper wells will be quite
superseded.
Independent coats, to be worn over
skirts of black or dark colors, are still seen
in great variety. They present the same
leading features-a closely fitting shape
which outlines the figure, high neck and
tight coat sleeves. The materials of which
they are made are brocaded velvet, striped
MORE, plush or cloth. Plain black satin
or silk coats will also be desirable medium
between the very expensive and the very
plain styles. These coats have cuffs,
pocke's and deep rounding collar of velvet,
and are also adorned with handsome but
tons of steel, faceted jet or those Of silk
fastened by cords Or frogs.

Preserving Eggs.

As we have had numerous inquiries for
some time past, says the Poultry Monthly,
for the best methods of preserving eggs, we
reprint the recipe which we consider from
practical knowledge to be the NEST salts
factory: To one pint of salt and one pint
of lime add four gallons of boiling water.
Slack the lime first in small quantity OF
hot water. When cold, put it in stone jars
or anything that will not absorb the liquid
Ia vessel Of wood or brown earthenware
will not dog. Then, with dish, let down
your fresh eggs into it. tipping the dish
after it fills with water, so that they will
roll out without cracking the shell, for if
the shell is cracked the egg will spoil. Put
the eggs in whenever you have them fresh
(they should not be over two or three days
old). Keep them covered in cool place,
and they Will keep fresh for year.

What Women Ought to Know.

It is pity that in our public schools,
where smattering of thousand unneces-
sary things is impaired, some practl, al in
struction should not be given in the nature
and use of business paper. Not one young
man in fifty has upon graduation, and GER
tainly not from any knowledge gained in
the school room. any clear idea of the dis
tinctions, the possibilities aud the use Of
checks, drafts, certificates, and so on
through the long list of papers which circu-
late so freely in business circles. Indeed,
the ignorance of intelligent people, and es-
pecially of women, in these matters, is real
ly surprising; and even if it were necessary
to go to the extreme length of ceasing to
teach pupils or to conjugate the verb TO
love" in Choctaw, it would surely be good
plan to give them a little practical knowl-
edge of the business process and forms.

A Beautiful Hand.

A beautiful hand Is an excellent thing in
woman; it is charm that never fails, and
better than all. it is means of fascination
that never disappears. Women carry a
beautiful hand with them to the grave,
when beautiful face has long ago vanished
or ceased to enchant. The expression of
the, hand. too. is .inexhaustible;- and when
the eyes we may have worshiped no longer
flash or sparkle. the ringlets with which
we may have played, are covered with a
cap, or worse, turban, and the symmet-
rical presence which in our sonnets has re-.
minded us so oft of antelopes and wild ga
zelles, have all. all vanished. the hand, the
immortal hand, defying alike time and
care, still vanquishes and still triumphs;
and small, soft, and fair, by an airy atti-
tude, gentle pressure, Or a new ring re-
news with untiring grace the spell that
bound our enamored and adoring youth.
