RIPENED WHEAT

We bent to-day DER a cofiued form,
And our tesSS fell softly down.
We looked our lGst on the aged face,
With it's look of peace, its patient grace,
And hair like a silver crown.
We touched our own to the clay-cold hands,
From ife's long labor at rest;
And among the blossoms white and sweet
We noted a bunch of golden wheat
Clasped close to the silent breast.
The blossoms whispered of fadeless bloom,
OF the land where falls no tear;
But the ripe wheat told of toll and care,
The patient waiting. the trusting prayer,
The garnered good of the year.
We know not what work her hands had found
What rugged place herfeet;
cross was hers, what blackness of night;
We saw but peace, the blossoms white,
And the bunch of ripened wheat.

Rough On the Young Mar

Arthur Padlrford, a young man Of
Philadelphia, whose estate is worth
$500, 900, asked the court recently to
allow him to invest $4,000 of his own
money in the purchase of a yacht, and
was regretfully refused. Mr.. Padle-
ford is about twenty-five years old and
unmarried. His income is about $780,
600. He himself had put the estate in
trust so that he might be less vulnera.
BILE to the temptations which beset
young men about town with large for.
tunes and nothing to do. His health
is failing and his physician advised
him to be as much at sea as possible.
He was permitted by the terms of the
trust to build a house in Philadelphia
and another at Newport, but as he had
not married and did not contemplate
marriage, he did not wish to be bur-
dened with the establishments, and did
not set them up. The cost of keeping a
yacht, the petition set out, would be
about $4,000 a year, and the whole cost
of living upon the sea would be much
less, he said, than the expense of fash
ionable life on land. The court regret
ted that it had not the authority under
the terms of the trust to grant the Pc
tition.

THE MANUFACTURE OF BEADS

Beads are largely made in Venice.
where glass-making has always been a
principal industry. 1t is said that the
invention of beads dates from the thir-
teenth century, and is due 6to two Vene-
tians, Miotti and Imbriani, who were
urged to make experiments by the eel
ebrated Venetian traveller, Marco
Polo. Under the Venetian Republic,
and for some years after its fall, says our
Consul at Venice, the exploration of
beads had not reached the Importance
it has now attained. This was perhaps
owing to the smallness Of the furnaces
and to the difficulty and length of the
technical processes required for the COM
position of the paste. The Morelli, how
ever, who in 1870 were the principal
bead manufacturers, had four ships at
sea carrying beads to the East on their
own account, and they became so rich
that in 1866 they entered the rank Of
Venetian nobility on payment to sum
of 100000 ducats to the Republic.
Since 1915 this industry has become SO
important as to give OF the present time
employment to about 10000 persons.
the traffic is carried on with all the
world, but the principal expectation Of
beads is to the ports of Asia and Africa.
An extraordinary stimulus was given
to this industry a few years ago by the
prevailing taste for beads for trimming
ladies' dresses, A great extension OF
the manufacture took place, and the
labor was paid so high that all who
could do SO gave up their usual trades
for bead making. But when the demand
for beads declined most of the workmen
who had been allured by fancy wages to
the bead manufacture were thrown out
of work, and compelled to return to their
former occupations Whatever be the
cause, bead-making has always been the
special privilege Of Venice, in spite OF
all foreign attempts to manufacture this
article elsewhere The wages in g lass
works are for first master about eight
franks day, for a second master four
and one-half francs, and for the ordinary
workmen from two francs to five francs
a day. During the last five years the
average annual expectation of beads has
been $4,000 quintals, of the approximate
value of 5,500,000 trancs.-PoU Mall

CATTLE DISEASE IN ENGLAND.-Re-
ports in the English papers just received
indicate that the cattle disease is spread
ing rapidly. According to the London
Globe, in Nottingahmshire every petty
seasonal division is now infected; and
in six out of the seven there had been
fresh outbreaks in a week. A similar
account comes from Cheshire. where
there were said to be no fewer than 458
animals suffering from foot-and-mouth
disease In Sussex the contagion is evil
IDENTIFY spreading, and in Derbyshire it
has been communicated from large
flock CT sheep to herd of horned beasts.
The consequence of this state of things is
that the Executive Committee of the
Farmers Alliance thinks it time to
speak out in no doubtful tones. 1t has
unanimously passed resolution in favor
of absolutely closing British ports against
cattle imports from places which are not
known to be free of disease. 1t declares
that it would be better to have no re-
strictions upon the removal from place to
place of suspected cattle than the present
inadequate though yexatious rules, and
it calls upon the Government to bring
in at the earliest opportunity a bill sub
stituting an efficient law for the one
which has so conspicuouslY failed.

A GREAT COLLAPSE IN MExICO.-LoR-
EDO, Tex, Oct. 15.-A great sensation
was caused by the announcement of the
suspension at Monterey of the great firm
of Zombroma, & Co., one of the oldest
and wealthiest houses in Northern Mex
leo. II is reported that their liabilities
are placed at $800,000. The effect of
the failure on Northern Mexico can be
only compared to that old Jay Cooke in
the United States Their bushes out
side of merchandise has extended largely
into the purchase of valuable estates and
includes manySof the largest aod finest
hacendas in Mexico. The immediate
cause of the suspension is said to be the
presentation for payment of two obliga
tions amounting in the aggregate to
100000, which could not be cashed
without several days delay, which was
refused, and the paper went to protest.
This produced panic, and run was
commenced at once on the house by
smaller creditors, which resulted IN
closing the doors. 1t is safe to say the
suspension will be only temporary. Gold,
Feamk, Frank & Co., of San Antonio,
Tex, are said to be among the heaviest
creditors.

A CHEROKEE WAIF.

Before the war a party of Cherokee,
Indians, while journeying to 70 the In
dian Territory, fell sick at Little Rock,
Ark, and Ill but one boy died. The
father of this boy was David WeEch
Young David was adopted by one DR..
George w. Ring, of Little Rock, who,
bestowed his own name on him on the
day of his adoption. George grew to
mans estate, espoused the southern cause,
and fought all through the war. When
the clash of arms ceased he wandered
away from Arkansas and finally stopped
at Americus, in our state. There he
made himself good citizen, and wooed
and won the hand of Miss Dickson, by
whom he had five children. A feSw
years ago Ring moved to Macon, and
died here about twenty-five years ago.
A short time since the widow received
letter from Joseph G. Hester, Census
Commissioner of the Eastern band of
Cherokees at Asheville, n. c., detailing
the fact of the death of the Indians at
Little Rock, and also the adoption of
young Daniel by DR.. Ring He stated
that he had heard of her whereabouts
from Mrs. Josephus Carnes, living in
another portion of the state. He desired
Mrs. Ring to send him proofs of her
marriage and full names of her five
children, in order that they might re.
ceive certain amount of money due

How Watch Cases are Made.

In buying silver watch case great care
should be taken to secure one that is solid
silver throughout. The cap of most cheap
silver cases is made of composition known
as albata, which is very poor substitute
for silver, as it turns black in a short time.
The backs of such cases arc made much
thinner than those of an all silver case,
being robbed in order to make the cap
thicker and get in as much as possible of
the cheap metal. Another important point
in nasilver case is the joints or hinges, which
should be made of gold. Those of most
cheap cases are made of silver, which is
not suitable metal for that purpose. In
brief period it warps, bends and spreads
apart, allowing the backs to become loose
upon the case and admitting the dust and
dirt that accumulate in the pocket. The
Keystone SilverWatch Cases are only made
with silver caps and gold joints.

BURIED In A N.-MooREHEAD,
Mimi, Oct. 10.-A dreadful and fatal
accident occurred last night at the farm
of Mr.. Northruff, eight miles east of
Moorehead, in which four mel were
killed outright and several Others mar,
rowly escaped with their lives. The
men were members Of a thresh1ng crew,
who had been threshing for Northruff
the day previous, and were sleeping in
the lower story of the granary, in the
upper story of which was 1400 bushels
of oats. During the night while the,
men were asleep, the floor suddenly gave,
way, completely burying eight, who
were sleeping at the end of the building
where the floor fell in. Six men sleep
ing at the other end partially crowded
through the Size of the house, which
gave way to the sudden pressure, and
made their escape without difficulty.
After giving the alarm they set to work
to remove their comrades from under
meath the oats. When the unfortunate
men were reached four were dead from
Sufocation, and some others so nearly so
that it was matter of doubt of several
hours if they would not die fromsthe eff.
fects
The names of the killed are: r. A.
Rhodes, engineer of the thresh1ng ma
chine, of McVeyton, Miff1in county, Pa,
Charles Van Doren, of Valley City,
OAK; Andrew Larson, of Moorhead.
The name Of the fourth man is un-

Ohio has a vicious habit of going
Democratic occasionally, except in the
years when a president is to be chosen,
and then she is always found on the
right side of the contest. Ten years
ago last Tuesday Ohio elected Demo
cratic candidate for Governor by 817
majority. The next year the Democrat
ic plurality for Secretary of State was
1892. In 1875, the Republicans elect
ed their candidate for Governor by 5,549
plurality, and in 1876 their candidate for
Secretary of State by about 200 addition
al plurality. In 1877 the Democratic
plurality was %, 500; in 1878, Republican
by 8, 3,164; in 1879 Republican by II, 7,128;
in 1880, Republican by 19,005; in 1881,
Republican by 24,9O9; in 1882, Demo.
cratic by 1915. In the Presidential
years the Republican plurality was some
1000 greater for the Presidential Electors
than for state officers. The lesson of
these figures is that Ohio is Republican
state whenever there is a full vote and a
square fight made on national issues

AN UNFORTUNATE FAMILY.-The
hampton family is in one respect one of
the most unfortunate in Austin. They
have lost by death five or six children,
but the births are pretty much in the ra-
ito of the deaths, so that the family is far,
| from being childless. A few weeks ago,
there was another death in the family,
and the undertaker's assistant called at
the house. A small boy met him at the.
door.
"Is your pa in?"
"What do you want to see him
about?'.
''I want to ask him when the funeral.
will take place.
"Yod needn't see him then at all, if
that is all you want. ] can tell you that.
Pa always buries US at o'clock in the
afternoon"
To make political application of the
foregoing, we may remark that Mr.. Dana
need not interest himself about the fun
eral of the next Democratic candidate.
It is habit Of the Democracy to inter a,
tavorite son once every four years, and.
it may also be said, that it is almost inn
possible for the funeral to come off with,
out the New York Sun having hand in
furnishing the corpse. At least that is
the way the friends of General Hancock
look at the ituation.-Terds iSiftinqs.
