has been quadrupled, and of ''ixtle'' more
than doubled. 1Xtle Is cmehy used IN the
manufacture Of brushes, but it can be spun
into thread. Henequn is used for ropes and

Mexico grows great number OF 1ibre plants,
some of which have not yet been utilized, and
it is proposed to begin the cultivation OF jute
under government auspices, the hot lands OF
the coast being well suited to its growth. An
American machine which greatly simplihes
the work of extracting the fbres Of all such
plants has recently been introduced, and this
stimulates the business of preparing the fibres
for market. ~
THE attention of brain disease 81 lists is
especially directed to the multip1Ayi ion of
sudden lapses of memory on the witness
stands, particularly as it affects millionaire
spectators. Mr.. Jay Gould is well known to
be an unfortunate sufferer from this COM
plaint at occasional intervals, and it appears
from Mr.. McGeOch's testimony during the IN
vestigation Of his famous lard corner that he,
TOO. is exposed to intermittent attacks of it.
In fact Mr.. McGeoch does not remember any
thing about the corner that is OF any cOnse-
quence, except his opinion, adopted at the
time and entertained with increasing tenacity
ever since, that Wells, his partner in the deal,
did not act altogether up to his (McGeochs)
exalted and spotless sense of what was honor
able in the premises. The psychologists must
hurry up. The valuable intellscts Of our
most prominent philanthropists are slowly
but surely being undermined by this insidious
treacherOusness Of memory, and something
ought to be done 10 check its ravages.
"THERE is a remarkable thing attending all
the drowning cases in the Delaware and
SchuylklI this summer" said Lieut.. Moore,
of the Delaware Harbor Police, land that is
this: All who fall overheard go down like a
stone and never come to the surface again.
Usually, person who tumbles in, unless he
strikes something and is stunned, will come
to the top two, three, or four times before a
final sinking. But that hasn't happened this
summer. There's the man who fell from the
Reading collier on the day of Cramps launch,
two weeks ago. He went plumb TO the bot
tom. A man went overheard at Almond
street wharf last Saturday and never came
up. Another tumbled in at Arch street and,
although everybody ran to catch him on the
second turn, he did not reappear. A boy sank
at Race street. The woman who went over
board at Ridgway Park has not been found
yet, although we've grappled all around
there, and lost three graphing irons that got
fastened in logs at the bottom. whether

will surprise no one more than his own
children. The fact that he had killed HIM
self had been concealed from them as well
as from people in general, and had it not
been for the investigation resulting from
the collection of insurance policies on his
life, his suicide would not have become
known. AS one policy, however, was for
1000, and the others probably amount
to an equal sum, sentimental considera-
tions had to give way. Indeed, it is doubt
full whether the truth would not have
been made public even if no attempt had
been made to collect the policies. The
failure to collect would have been so I'M

resulted which would have discovered the
truth.

"Hungrv joe" the bunkO steerer, and his
pal made on Monday when they tackled
William H. Williams, ex-POlice Commits
sioner of Long Island City, and brother of
Police Captain. Williams, for a country
man. Mr.. Williams "tumbled'' to their
''racket," so to speak, at once, but not
wishing to spoil their little game too soon,
gave them time to show their hand. a
Grand street car was the scene of the
encounter, and Mr.. Williams, when adj
dressed as "Mr. Jones,' obligingly
answered to the name. After affectiOnate-
lY lnQulr1ng after the health OF the Jones
family, ''Hungry Joe" told the
stereotyped story of having won
the previous day a prize
of 1000, which he was on his way to COL
lect! Mr.. Williams listened with appar-
ent integest, but when the car arrived at
the Desbrosses street ferry he babe his
companions goodbye in place of accom-
panying them to the place where the prize
was won and trying to win another. The

the sight of a revolver caused them to
render themselves scarce. Yesterday

A BRIGHT IDEA.
busting for a Living.

"I'm duster," said young woman
whom New York Sun reporter met
in private house up town-"a pro-
fessional duster. I'm not the only one.
It's regular profession, busting is,
nowadays. 10 dust and arrange these
collections every day would too severe
ly tax the strength of the wealthy la
dies. To set the servants at the work
was found to be bad management, not
because they were bungling and liable
to smash the delicate fabrics, but be-
cause the servants have no time to spare
from their other duties. Therefore the
mistresses employ competent women to
keep their parlors in order. The DUST
ing business is an established industry,
but it is confined to the metropolis, and
almost entirely to the region of brown
stone fronts. All the busters know
of are women who have seen better
days, but. of course, it isn't every edu-
Gated and refined woman who can make
good duster."
What are the requirements?' ?'
"She must be light-footed, quick and
strong in her wrists and arms. To
visit dozen houses in forenoon be-
fore callers arrive and dust and arrange
things is no child's play. A woman
must fairly jump at her work. The re-
enumeration? Well. a dollar or IS cents
a visit, sometimes more. At some
houses where the hostess entertains
good many guests the rooms are ar
ranged every day. Orders are given to
the busters to change the arrangement
of the appointments every time they
come. Then, again, a duster must
know how to take hold of every sort of
knick-knack and how to move it safely.
She must know just what sort of brush
to use for every sort of busting. The
brush that will not break filmy tissue
of glass is useless on piece of furni-
ture, and would not reach the ceiling
corners. She must have several brushes,
and she must not be careless or slap
dash for an instant. There are few
bits of bric-a-brac in these parlors that
j could replace with six months earn
ings."

An Operatic Bonanza.

A Paris letter says that about thirty
years ago poor little musical COM
poser, very modest and almost un-
known, tried to sell The partition of an
opera which had just lately been pro-
duced here in Paris to some publish
or, but nobody wanted it. Perhaps
one of the music houses would have
accepted the partition had it not been
for the illustrious Berlioz, who advis-
ed him not to touch it at the price de-
manded-that is to say, a sum equal to
$500. When the publisher had declin-
ed the music, the young composer car
ried his manuscript to another house,
but it was refused simply because the
first had done so. The poor mamie
is illustrious and rich now-was
strolling along the boulevard, feeling
quite down in the mouth, when he met
ayoung gentleman named Choudens,
clerk in the department of state. To
him the composer of the new opera
related his troubles, whereupon Chou
dens said:
"Ma fol, but it is lucky we met. ]
am going to marry in a few days the
daughter of man who engraves mu-
sic series, and when we are married
we shall start a music house for our
selves. / cannot afford to pay you
5000 francs for your opera but l will
giveyou 1900 for it if you will trust
me for the year" The composer ac.
cepted these terms, and the opera was
printed.
The name Of the opera is Faust
that of the composer Charles Gounod
and Choudens has gained more than
$500, 900 on this great work alone.

THE GOvERNORSHIP.

1t is generally conceded that DR.,
Nichols will be run for governor by
that clique or ring of gentlemen who
have been in the habit Of carrying the
State of Vermont in their vest pocket,
for all political purposes and ends that
will lead to their own self aggrandise-
ment and glorifcation, known as the
smith ring" the "machine," etc.
The success of this movement is
probable, but not altogether certain.
The ring" may find that "the time is
out of joint" and that the people pro-
pose to attend to this little matter for
once This seems to be indicated by
growing independence Of the press.
Not for years has the press of Yer
mont spoken so boldly against this
regime, and every day telling facts are
thus brought to light. 1t is now al
legged that DR.. Nichols was associated
with that unblushing fraud known as
the "Vermont Accident Association"
which, if true, is enough to bar all
honest men from voting for him if
nominated. For the sake of humanity
it is to be hoped this is not true, or at
least that he had nothing to do with
the shameful winding up of this con-
cern.
The opposition candidates are nu-
merous, many of whom would honor
the position and fittingly represent the
people. OF this class there is but lit
tie doubt that Lieutenant-G Governor
Pingree is the most available, and that
his promotion would be in the line of
healthy civil service reform, and
would be emiDently pleasing, not only
to the soldier element, but to the in
telligent progressive masses. A man
that never "ran with the machine" is
not a wire puller nor political huckster,
but entirely independent, is the one
whom the people would delight to
honor-and this is Col. Pingree.

Of the United States in regard to the
currency is the following: "The Con
gress shall have power''-for various
other specified objects and-"to coin
money, regulate the value thereof, and
of foreign coin, and fix the standard of

supreme court can extract from this
negative provision against the issue Of
paper money, the unlimited authority
to issue paper money, no limit can be
placed on its capacity to "explain
away" or nullify every old and hith-
