The Watermelon.

Among the many topics which this
work-a-day world presents, some are
like a pool which is thought deep but
is only muddy. while others are like a
crystal lake that is deemed shallow be-
cause men see the bottom clearly with
out considering the depth of the water.
Of the latter class is the watermelon.
At first the casual observer faucies that
he sees all about the watermelon that
is 10 be seen. Its characteristic features
are obvious even to the wayfaring man.
1t is green of exterior as the gentle
granger by whose fostering care it lives
and grows and has its being; it is red
of interior as the town after a painting
by the aforesaid rustic on his annual
purchasing visit. Its crust is hard as
miser's heart. and its heart as soft as
maiden's cheek. 1t is the practical joke
of the vegetable kingdom. Its alder
manic proportions rival those of the
otfice-holder grown gray in holding
down an official chair, while its mellow
pulp giaddens alike the palate of sunny
youth and frosty age. 1t is the delight
of the small boy in every cline. and
shares with the mule the affections of
the American citizen whose ancestors
Were of the first families of Senegam-
bia.
But aside from the aesthetic view to
be taken of this estimable product of
the fields, there is practical phase
which merits attention. A diligent
search through the pages of the Tenth
Census falls to reveal any official ac-
count of the watermelon, but though
the census enumerator knew it not and
the supervisor failed to order its Stats
ties to be incorporated with those of
corn and wheat, vet as a ''prOduct,"
the watermelon is by no means to be
despised. 1t may not lie principal
product" SO far as dollars 90, but the
Importance of social elements is not
always measured by dollars nor by the
number of columns filled in statistical
reports, and it is thus with the water
melon. 1t is mighty in both actualities
and possibilities, in what it does and in
what it is able to do. As a social and
commercial factor even in our own city
its influence is not, in common par
lance, Ito be sneezed at" The two
principal railroads that transact the
watermelon business of st. Louis are
the Iron Mountain and the
Cairo Short Line, each of which,
in the season, handles 1900 cars
loaded with watermelons. Each car
load is about one thousand watermelons,
and there are thus two million water
melons brought TO the city by these two
lines alone. If we add the number
brought by other roads and those from
the neighboring farms and gardens, We

Assaying Gold Coins.

1t is a common thing for our Govern.
ment ASSAY office in New York to melt
up foreign coin and assay it, prepar-
atory to having it coined into United
States money. The process is some
what complicated. First. the coins are
weighed in the receiving room, and
then they are sent to the melting room,
melted and cast into bars, and what ara
called slips are taken. These are
small, thin pieces of the metal. which
are used to test the quality. They are
hammered and rolled and weighed to q
given weight. A certain amount OF
silver is added. and then the sample is
.'cupelled." This process extracts the
base metals from the gold and silver.
The added silver is necessary in order
that the acids used may get out all the
silver in the sample. 1t is necessary to
boil the metal in acid twenty minutes
in order to extract all the silver. The
result is then weighed to ascertain the
percentage of gold. The amount OF pure
gold varies in different coins In Unit
ed States coin the amount of pure gold
must BE- nine-tenths. In doubloons the
amount of pure gold is generally about
eighty-seven per cent OF the remain
der nine Der cent is silver and four per
cent. baser metals. The charge for as
saying is about four cents an ounce

Lucky and Unlueky Farmers.

1t is quite amusing to hear. rs one
frequently does. farmers say that such
md such ones are always lucky. while
they are always having bad luck. Now
nothing is more absurd than such talk.
1t is true that with some farmers many
things go wrong. A COW will get
choked eating roots; cause, careless
ness on the part of the owner in not
cutting the roots. The cattle will get
through the pasture and into the corn
or cabbage field and do considerable
damage; cause. want of care in building
er keeping the fence in repair. A horse
will get loose in the stable and eat too
much meal and perhaps die; cause, care
lessness We might go on and give long
list of bad luck 90 that is likely to come
to the careless farmer each year. There
is no such thing as luck in the matter.
Some farmers spend some time and
a good deal of breath in denouncing
their ill luck. when. if they would only
be more careful. they would have no
such trouble. They seem to envy their
more fortunate neighbors who have
only good luck. If they would only
ask these same neightors, they would
find that those they term lucky were
only saved from losses of cattle and other
things by the care they take.
Let no young farmer start out with
the idea that success or failure is a mat
ter of luck and chance. 1t is said:
"God helps the man that helps him
SELF" and it is true. 1t is very seldom
that one fails to succeed who starts
right and with the determination to
succeed. The lazy and shiftless gen.
orally talk most about luck; the indus
trious man says pluck rathey than lssek,

BaSqueS, Trimmed Skirts Etc.

Ladies with large figures must confine
themselves to smoothly fitted basques
and pelonaises even for muslin, ging-
hams and percaies, as these need not
add anything TO the apparent size. The
short Marie Antoinette polonaise, with
plated skirt, either tucked or edged
with embroidery, is graceful design
Tor organdies, lawns and ginghams.
This short bouffant polonaise, made
without lining, may he smoothly fitted
to the figure by darts and side forms
low over the hips, or else the front darts
may be omitted, and half-sash of ribbon
or Of the material may be sewed in the
under-arm seams, and tied in front or
on the left side. In the middle and side
form seams some additional width is
added on the tournure, the fronts are
rounded open from the waist line, and
the length is shortened by small loops
and small buttons of thread or pearl
placed in the middle of the back and
on the sides. The skirt is in wide plaits
attsched to a yoke at the top. or, if the
costume is meant to be very dressy, it
has dropping soft puffs nearly double of
the material, alternating with gathered
tlounces of the goods, or of lace, or
of the goods edged with lace, or
with embroidery. Gathered tlounces
are more used this season than
they have been for many years,
and are seen in many instances on full
skirts in place of the tucks described.
They are made straight when of wash
ing materials, and bias when of silk or
WOO. From one-thir6 to one-half their
length is added for fullneSs, the thinner
fabrics requiring most fullness The
french fancy this season is to scallop
the edges of Bingham or lawn-fiounces
in needlework done on the material in
button-hole stitching with cotton of the
same color as the ground, or in that of
the figure in the fabric. The. more
general fashion here is to use white en-
broidered and scalloped muslin of the
kind that is sold in bands scaIloped on
each edge with waves above, or dots,
diamonds, or trellised pattern.
When basque and apron over-skirt
are preferred 10 a polonaise, pretty
fashion is to put five or six narrow
tucks down each front next the button
holes, and to take up darts between
these tucks. the back has square eff
feet, with p)aits added at the waist-line,
and is quite short on the sides. When
the tn ks are not used, the fronts NAV
have two pieces of embroidery set like
a Pompadour square. with the scallCps
inside extending down from the neck,
or else these pieces may be heightened
to outline vest. A belt OF velvet or
of embroidery is worn with fitted
basques.-Harper' Bazaar.
