A Pretty Work-Basket,

New YORK Evening Post.
A useful pretty and remarkably cheap
work-basket can be made by taking two
peach baskets and attaching them together
Turn one upside down, then set the other
on top of that; tack them together firmly
in several places, so that there will be no
danger of the upper one sliding or tipping
then to the edge of the top basket sew some
kind of covering. Let it reach to the floor,
leave fullness enough so that it can be
drawn in at the center where the two
baskets join, and still conceal the lower one
entirely Put band of decorated ribbon
or velvet, or cord simply, where you can
draw it in, so that the little stand will pre-
sent the appearance of an hourglass. Line
the upper basket and put in pockets, a
needle-book and a small cushion, and you
have a most convenient basket. If you wish
to have more pockets than there is room
for in the inside, they can be put around
the outer edge. These baskets may be COW
cred with Turkey-red calico, or with hand
some Canton flannel and may by means Of
bows and some simple ornamentation, be
made pleasing objects. The calico is good to
line the basket with, as it does not catch and
keep lint, threads, etc. as the flannel does.

THE PRICE OF BEER.
A Statement from the Secretary of the Brew
ers' Association as to the Projected Raise.

Statement from the Secretary of the Brew
ers' Association as to the Projected Raise.
New York Special
Recent sensational reports about contem-
plated raise in the price of beer have agitated
the retailers of that beverage. The ale
brewers have made one advance and threaten
another. Malt is cheap, and corn is cheaper,
but hops are very dear On Saturday last
they sold at 90@95c On Thursday they
went up to $1.07@112%, and choice as high
as $115.
II. B. Wheatcroft, assistant secretary of
the Beer Brewers Association, said to-day:
Nothing has yet been decided upon with
reference to advance in price. But the sub
ject has been discussed a great deal among
brewers, and an advance is regarded as a
necessity, if they would not brew beer at a
loss. The margin of profit now is infini-
tessimal at best, and some breweries can
make none at present prices of material.
Some of the breweres are forcing an extra
beer on the market at $40 bar
rel, and at that price it pays; but at the ordi-
nary price of So, with from to II per
cent. off for commission and discount there
is nothing to be made. l know of hop con-
tracts being made out West where the pres
sure is more felt than here, at 81 20 last week
Z he Chicago and Milwaukee brewers have
put their price up from s. to $3.50 per bar
rel. The Baltimore and Rochester breweries
have raised from So to SO. l shall not be
surprised to hear at any moment that those
of Cincinnati and st. Louis have done like
wise. AS for the brewers in and about New
York, l do not believe there is one who has
a good stock of hops on hand"
An experienced brewer said: ''Malt is
worth LILO to $1.20; good State hops are
worth $1.10 to-day. 1t takes two and half
bushels of malt and two pounds of hops to
make a barrel of beer. That means say So
for malt and 81 20 for hops, and 81 for reve-
nue. stamp, and you have $3.50 to pay labor,
ice, interest on investment, cost of serving,
collection, discount bad debts, advertising,
etc. There is no profit In S. barrel, l tell
you there are brewers who to-day are making
beer at loss"
The increased cost of production has al
ready cut off from this market certain OF the
WESTERN pure malt beers.

The author heads the letter, "Work of Gov

as follows:
During brief visit in Mauch Chunk, a
few weeks ago, General William Lilley
called at the hotel where your cor
respondent sojourned. General Lilley
asked me if l did not remember
the hue-and-cry against Mr. Evans who
was appointed agent for Pennsylvania to set
tie with the United States government for
advances made during the war. Public atten-
ton was directed to the outrageous charge
made by Agent Evans for very trifing SER
vice. The sum retained for his services ag-
gregates some $500, 600 for collecting about
IS 600, 900. The instance came to mind, and
so | stated. Now, said General Lilley, not
one dollar of these millions was ever COW
cred into the treasurer of Pennsylvania, and
the evidence is in existence to prove this
statement. The General named two men
who had 5000, 900 each of the sum collected
by Evans. This astounding revelation COM
ing from man of the high character OF Gen
eral Lilley, determined me to throw it broad
cast for inquiry and examination. / have

His Alleged miraculous Cure of Superintcnd-

New York Special.
Evangelist Barnes visited the Christian
Home for Intern perate Men Christmas after
noon. When the speaking singing, and pray
ing were done the preacher asked if any we're
present who were suffering from physical
ailments ana desired to be cured About
thirty men came forward and were q noint-
ed with olive oil and prayed for by the
evangelist. Charles A. Bunting the s1perin-
tendent of the home, was rather skeptical.
Mr.. Barnes visited him on Wednesday. Mr..
Bunting was suffering from infammatory
rheumatism, which had kept him in bed nine
weeks When the evangelist greeted him
he was reclining in a chair. Mr.. Barnes
expressed a belief that he could
cure the superintendent. 81 have no
faith in your ability to do So" said Mr.
Bunting. "No," replied the preacher II
must have faith" The evangelist then put
a drop of olive oil upon Mr.. Buntngs fore
head and earnestly prayed that his ailment
might disappear. Shortly after Mr.. Barnes
had gone Mr.. Bunting wanted something in
a closet in his study. His boekkeeper who
usually waited upon him. was absent from
the room. Mr. Bunting arose and unexpect-
eddy found that he could stand. He put one
foot forward, and was astonished to realize
that he could walk. He made immediate
use of his sudden discovery by going to the
closet and getting the article he wanted. He
attributed the strength of his limbs partly to
the power of Mr.. Barnes. On Thursday
morning Mr.. Bunting came into the chapel
of the Home, walking erect. The mem berS
OF the institution who were there were filled
with establishment They regarded his ap-
pearance as an exempltfication of the evan
gelists great faith in his curative powers.
