GLADSTONE.

Mr.. Gladstone must not be hell respoL'
sible for all the evils that have fallen upor
his government. lie is the prime minis
ter, but he is not an absolute monarch.
He is wonderful man-sagacious, far.
seeing, honest and firm, but neither Par.
Lament nor the people will allow him to
do precisely as he pleases. Indeed the
English government has become, to q
great extent, government of and by the
people and is becoming more and more so
from year to year. Gladstone has been
forced to do certain things by popular
clamor that he would not have done with
out the outside pressure. Then, too, it
should be borne in mind that Mr.. Glad
stones party is not homogeneous, but
composed of elements which can be
brought to agree only on certain points at
certain times. 1t is therefore beyond the
power of the strongest of men to secure
the best results, or even good results, from
an administration with such support and
such an opposition as conjoin to afflict
Mr. Gladstone. Were Mr.. Gladstone DOS
sessel Of unlimited power we do ,t doubt
that he would prove one of the best of
rulers. Still, there has been combina
ton of circumstances attending English
affairs for the past few years that would
have perplexed King Solomon himself.

Millions in Seed.

'.If the seed business increases with
the next twenty-five years as it has for
that period past. railroads will be anx-
ious to secure the transportation to diff
ferent sections. as they now are that of
cotton and grain said downtown
wholesale scotsman to NaH and En-
press representative. 1.-The business
almost doubles itself every quarter of a
century. Years ago the few hothouses
around tried selling seed as an expert
ment. The experiment has now grown
to be a permanent and great industry.
Cabbage seed ranks foremost as an art
icle of sale. Next comes cauliflower.
Any soil that will grow cabbage will
grow caulIilower Twenty-Five years
ago it was hardly known. To-day one
firm has 250 pounds of the seed. which,
at the price of 50 per ounce. foots up
value of So, 200 slowed away in de-
posit vaults. BY the time this seed is
sold and distributed it will have pro-
duced under favorable conditions nearly
100000 plants, which, if sold at the
average price of 6 cents head, will
have yielded nearly S50O,000.
Better soil, however, is required
and more work in raising it than with
the cabbage. This vegetable is merely
a higher order of the cabbage, and bids
fair in time to be the greatest source of
profit to seed raisers.
celery is third on the list of staple
vegetables. As the manner of treating
the celery crop for the last few years
has been much simplified, an unexpect-
ed impetus has been given to the sale of
the seed. The famous white plume
celery is crisp, solid and has a peculiar
walnutty flavor. 1t has an unprece-
dented sale. Next come the onion and
pea. followed by beans, potato, squash
and spinach. Tomato and turnip are
also considered among the reliables."
Zone would think that the seed trade
would diminish in time, as people would
save their seed?"
They rarely ever attempt it, and
when they do the vegetables produced
from them are of stunned and dwarf
ish kind. Seed seems to mature better
in hothouse. Florida is the first to
send vegetables to the market. All the
seed whence they have sprung is carried
from Northern hothouses. The trade
in seed annually amounts to millions,
and the profits are considerable. think |
in time to come there will be garden |
seed elevators built and the trade car
ried on in bulk instead of in paper pack
ages. ~ !. Nal and Express.

the Current of March II BY f L Dorsey.
The writer shows the relative characteris-

finds in their earnest desire for improve

cheerful attention to duty the most encour-
aging indications for the future of their

ThiRgs that Never Die.
The pure, the bright, the beautiful,
That stirred our hearts In youth,
The impulse of a worthless prayer,
The dream OF love and truth,
The longing after something lost,
The spirits yearning cry,
The striving after better hopes
These things shall never die.
The timid hand stretched forth to aid
A brother in his need,
The kindly word In griefs dark hour,
That proves friend indeed;
The plea for mercy, softly breathed,
When justice threatens nigh;
The Borrowings OF contrite heart
These things shall never die.
Let nothing pass, for every hand
Must find some work to do;
Lose not chance to waken love,
Be firm and just and true;
SO shall light that cannot fade
Beam on thee from on high,
And angel voices say to thee.

FAMED eoaRRIEs OF CARRARA.
Who're e,OOO Mon Dig Ont Of italian IIiIls
the Marble of Art.


have recently spent some days at Car
rara, where some 6,000 men are at work in
the quarries. There are one hundred studies
of sculpture at Carrara, sixty-fve saw mill:
and twenty-five polishing wheels, which
brighten dull marble and smooth the slight
fortunes of some four hundred plodding
workers. The hewing Of rough rocks, huge
in their proportions, is something approach
ing the marvellous here. The men are hoist
ed to the height of some seven hundred feet
above the level of the quarry, and up aloft
excavate perfectly colossal Jumps of Carrara
marble, Each gang, or the foreman of the
gang, goes down with and on the lump as it
is swung by derrick ropes out into the air
and swiftly brought to mother earth.
One of these Italians will sing in lusty
tones, Viva, Viva Garibaldi,n from his
dizzy eminence and suddenly appear below
where you are standing, his bright, big
black eyes full of unequaled expressiveness
md his white teeth glittering between unap-
proachable smiles--the inalienable gifts OF
these people-and say, All, signore, will
you go up with me again 2" just as if it were
a perfectly ordinary feat. The free, easy
and primitive style of this Carrara flying
trapeze work makes it appear doubly dan
gerous. Hundreds of accidents occur oyory
year.
Children scarcely out of their swaddling
clothes work amidst the glare and dust of
this lovely white marble and die with sore
ayes and stifed lungs. The food is dry
bread, a raw onion and dirty water. It is
the only place in Italy where wine is not
drunk. Worn out by incessant severe toll,
these people, insufficiently fed, fall into dis
sipation, violence and crime, dying like
dogs and leaving on the white marble the
sweat of their wretched lives. We see none
Of oil this under the hand of art.
Fully $500, 900 worth of marble goes ou
annually from these quarries, the bulk of il
TO France. The price of it varies according
to its beauty. The first quality is priced at
$50 to $50 per square metre at the seaport.
This is what we term statuary marble. The
second quality is priced .at $45 to $62, and
the spotted at $50 to $50. Then comes
pure white, but not statusry marble. The
price is $50 per square metre. The second
quality is 1856 and the third is $50. The
vsined marble brings on tho first quality
$50 and the second quality $35. Violet
hued marble brings $40 to 800 per square
metre. These are the ordinary tariffs, and
On them the profits are absurdly high before
the marble leaves the quarry. In some in.
stances have known frst-class statuary
blocks to be rated at $4,000 each, regard
less Of market rates. -RomS Letter IN the

A Too Common Fool.
There is man in our town
Who wasn't very wise;
For twenty long and weary years
Did he economic.
For twenty years he wore old cloth~
And toiled with might and maiH,
And starved and walked and often froso,
And suffered many pain.
For twenty years did he deny
Himself the Joys OF life,
And all his self-inflicted woes
We're shared by his good wife.
In twenty years his wife and he
Had saved enough spend
Their few re raini 6 da in peac
With plenty TO attend.
And then this man, like other fools,
To Wall street went so gay
With what he'd saved lr twenty years
And lost 1t In day.

why Women Break powp.

There is little doubt that women are
breaking down moro rapidly than men, be-
eause they allow themselves to take less real
rest. When man drops his business he
drops it. When woman let's go Of any
work she may have in mind she ties it to
her apron string, as il were. She has been
taught through long ages of training that 1t
is high crime and misdemeanor TO let
anything escape her mind, so she is constant.
~, when she is at rest pinching herself OF
prodding herself to see if she hasn't forgot
ten something. In this way she carries the
burdens Of her work into her resting hours,
and sits down among the roses Of relaxation
with her foot on the treadle Of tho grind
stone of prosy drudgery. II men kept their
noses to the grindstone with womanly per-
sistence they would be nervous and irrita-

COUNTERFEIT MONEY.
Description of some of the Most Notorious
and Dangerous in Circulation.


Counterfeit Detector Expert Torrey said
TINT If people could only be taught to know
what good money looks like they would be
less easily deceived by eounterfeits He
said that the last new counterfeit was OF q
$40 United States Treasury note of the
series of 1880. The genuine note, and, Of
course, the counterfeit, both bear q head OF
Daniel Webster in the lower left-hand cor
ner. In the good note the lines that mark
the lapel and the shoulder of Webster's coat
are equally heavy; in the counterfeit they
are not. Besides, although the bad note is
signed g B. X. Bruce and James Gilfl-
Ian, it does not bear the words Register
of the Treasury and Treasurer of the
United States and the words Z" Engraved
and printed at the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing" are also wanting. Even with
these defects the note is most dangerous,
and hundreds of dollars in it are handled
every day.
The best known $40 counterfeit is the
webster head series of 1875, marvel
ously executed piece of work. 1t is esti-
mated that $50, 900 of them have been Of
fered for deposit in the New York banks
since January l. 1t is fact that the banks
where many ladies have private accounts
handle less counterfeit money than the
others. Women are quick to detect bad
money. The most expert of the Treasury
counters in Washington are ladies, but
there are counterfeit fves, ten and twenties
in ,Io4i 4hak hot tt.a,r 81,
The best SIS counterfeits are the work of
Charles Ulrich and of his pal, Irving White.
They are oil on Massachusetts, banks, and
they are known as the Massachusetts coun-
terfeits. These are almost perfect, but to
the practiced eye counterfeit in letters
an inch long is printed across their faces.
In one corner is the familiar picture of
Columbus aboard his vessel, gazing at the
New World that spreads before his eyes.
Where the taffrail and the rail of the ship
join in the picture there is joint in the
genuine bill. There is none in q counter
felt.
There is no counterfeit of Dank note
above 800. There is one counterfeit on
$500 treasury note, that of the issue of
1869. There are two counterfeits of treas
ury 81 900 notes, those of 1862 and 1868.
These are admirable pieces of rascality.
There were some of them in the Treasury
of Montgomery, Ala, when the last new
Treasurer came into Office there. He re-
ceipted for them to the retiring Treasurer
and in the course of trade paid two of them
out to local bank. They reached Angus
ia, Ga, before their genuinoness was doubt
ed
The most dangerous counterfeits of notes
are stolen notes to which the bank officers |
names have been forged Their numbers
always run in a series, and only by remem-
bering the numbers can the notes be detect
ed. The most dangerous counterfeit of
United States coin is SIS gold piece that is
to have been made through the
of some ex-employes in the New
Orleans mint. 1t was made with the gent
inc stamp. The outside is of 900 fine gold |
and the inside of speter and platina. Thsre
are hundreds of thousands of them in cir
culation.
