effect on the general business OF the
board is very far from salutary. II not
infreauently controls the entire course
OF the markets for wheat and corn, and
by this means places outsiders at u dis
advantage, the existence Of which they
have not been slow to learn. Tho
thing IL simply species of gigantic
book.making, as 1t would be called on
the English turf, in which a few men
rake in great number of dollars
each evening in payment for the
privilege Of insisting that they
shall buy or sell the next day at
stipulated price. II the market does
not move in favor of the man who has
the privilege he loses the money paid
for 1t. If it goes in his favor he is then
at the mercy of tho book-maker, who
can repudiate or not, rs he pleases. be-
cause the whole transaction is illegal in
the eye of the board as well as under
the State enactment against it, and it
lacks even the code of honor which
compels payment of losses incurred on
the British turf But the board in its
corporate capacity has hitherto wnkcd
ut the enormty, rs the list of operators
includes some of its biggest men. OF
course, while it does so the board can
not consistently take ground against
the equally pcrnc Gus methods of the
buckHt-shop style of trading.
| Tie business practices Of the board
need publication. They now contain
very far too much of the gambling elc-
ment for the good of the institut on
itself or of the world outs de. The
board still handles, through compara-
lively few CT its members, n large part
of the produce business of the West,
but this has been partially neglected as
u whole, and the interests of the rccciv-
ing and shipping departments some
times made subordinate to those of the
mere speculative branch of the deal.
The former did not suffer so much until
the lattcr was seized upon mercilessiy
by set of men who proceeded on the
theory that the carrying charges are
their legitimate prey. and that any thing
standing in the way of that has nc
rights VIII ch they are bounl to respect.
The prosecution of their policy ha. en-
riched themselves, but has made all tho
rest poor, and come near leaving thu
board rs whole to be stranded on thu
shore of neglect by the rest of the world
especially rs that policy has furnished I
very coeent argument in favor of bucket
shop trading by those who are speculat
lively inclined. The situation has be
come so bad that there is now an urgen
demand for reform. Whether or no
such reform rs is demanded would re
suit in bringing back the lost patronag
and prestige is difficult to say. But

CASHMERE SHAWlS.
How These Exquisite Products of tn,
Orient Looms Aro Manufactured.

How These Exquisite Products OF tho
Orient Looms Are Manufactured.
Cashmere shawls are proc GUS to every
gentlewoman' heart, and belong to the
same category as diamonds. Tho love
for these products of the Orient looms is
scarcely century old. Tho shawls left
by Tippoo Sahib's ambassadors in 1887
were regarded rs curiositics bv the mag
mates to whom they were presented, and
werc used as carpets or Cut up for
dressing gowns. 1t is said that Nine.
Gaudin. lady of Greek pnrcntago and
g celebrated beauty, wore the first shawl
in Paris. Not until after Napoleon
Egyptian expedition did tho Cashmere
shawl become fashionable. The
Empress Josephines love of these
superb webs of Oriental beauty is
us well known Us her passion
for flowers. Tho wealth acquired
by the great men under the first empire
here was lavishly spent by their wives
for India slawls 1t was IL matter OF
little importance whether tho shawl,
were clean or soiled. 1t may have done
duty as the robe of some pr est high in
office or as the turban of one of tho Mo.
guls soldiers. If it suited the taste OF
the grande dame it was purchased,
cleaned and worn. The shawls are
woven from the wool of the Thibet goat.
and for those of the highest grade only
the finest of this fine wool is used, ono
goat yielding but half a pound of this
first quality wool at its annual shear
ing. The shawls are all made upon
hand looms, and sometimes thirty or
forty men are employed for year and
q half, or even two years, upon single
shawl. The gold and silver thread usecl
in the embroidery of the shawls Is made
at Boorhampoor, q Dcccan city. A piece
of pure ore is beaten into % cylinder the
size of n thick reed, and is again beaten
out until it VIII pass through an ortice
the eighth OF an inch in diameter.
This wire is then wound upon several
reels. which work upon pivots, the cnd
OF the thread being passed through
still finer holes and then fastened to
larger reel, which. when set in rapid
motion, attcnuates the thread still
further. The thread is then tlnttened
upon n steel anvil, highly polished by q
skilled workman. Asilk thread is then
covered with this fino wire. 1t is said
that if q lump Of silver be gilt before it
is put through any process it will retain
the gliding through all the severe ham
mering, winding and drawing to VIII ch
it is afterward subjected. and emerge a
golden thread that will never tarnish.

WASHiNGToN'S TEMPER.
How Gilbert Stuart Succeeded in Excitin
the Sclf-ContrOled President.

How Gilbert Stuart Succeeded In Exciting
the Sclf-Controled President.
Washington was human, though his
tory has so idcalizcd him that he seems
but 'little lower than the angels" He
had quick temper, which he generally
controled; but occasionally it broke
loose, and then there was q collision.
One of these collisions was witnessed
by Gilbert Stuart, while he was painting
Washington's portrait. One morning.
rs the artist was ascending tho steps of
the Presidents house. he looked through
the open street door and the inner door
into the parlor. Washington had man
by the collar, and was thrusting him
violently across the room. Mr.. Stuart,
not wishing to enter the house then,
passed on, After going short distance
he returned and found Wash ngton sit
ting in chair, quietly awaiting him.
"Mr. Stuart" said the President, after
the morning salutation, "when you
went away yesterday you turned the
face of the picture to tho wall, and gave
directions that it should remain in that
position, to prevent it receiving any in
jury. When came into the room this
morning the picture's face was turned
outward, as you now Sos it; the doors
were open, and here %as fellow rais-
ing dust with broom, and l know
not but the picture is ruined" !"
Little harm was done. 10 the picture,
but the incident gave a happy thought
to the artist. He had tried in vain by
his wonderful powers of conversation
so to excite the self-controlled President
that h eye would flash and his CONF
posed features be lighted up.
Knowing that Washington became ir-
ritable when kept waiting five minutes
beyond the appointed hour. he got
every thing ready for sitting and then
left the room, just before the designated
time for the Presidents entrance Going
into an ad Joining room he waited until
he heard loud exclamation OF inn
patience. and the quick steps that told
OF an angry mood. Then entering, he
salutcd Wash ngton, and seized his
palette. The sa utation was coldly re-
turned; the President seated himself in
the chair. his face flushed with indigna-
ton. The painter has:ened to catch
the expression. After few touches, he
ceased pa Mt ng, and, with q smile of
satisfaction, apolog,zed for his want of
punctual ty by frankly confessing the
ruse he had practiced. YoutWs COM

The future value of tho colt depends
much on the care 1t receives during its

quarters and properly fed. it will thrive
and grow rapidly. while on tho other
hand, if exposed to tho cold and fed
sparingly it is likely to receive check
that it may never recover from. This
very improbable method of treating
colts is practiced on many farm. and
brings its accompanying loss. the colts

ly realized how much is lost n this
way, more mains would be taken to soc
that tho colts have comfortable quar-
tors, with IN abundance of good, nour-

to see that tho colts have II chance for

THE IVORY TRADE,

Some of tho Largest Tusks Received In
Various Markets of tho World.
Ivory, which composcs the trunks and
upper incsor teeth of tho elephants. is
one of the most valuable of animal pro-
ducts. 1t is used for knife handles,
billiard balls. piano keys and dozens of
other purposes. Tho demand for it in
ancient times is believed to have been
much greater than at present The
Kings of Rome sat on ivory seats. and
the Etruscnn monarchs had thrones
composed of that substance. The decay
of the ivory trade began with the fall OF
Rome. and mt the beginning of the
seventeenth century elephant tusks
were drug on the market A few
centuries earlier the commoncst arti-
cles among the wealthy families of
Italy were made out of ivory. The
Portuguese, about ono hundred years
ago, collected large stores of that COM
modify on the Congo and shipped it to
Europe, realizing largo profits. The
trade in IL was then resumed. In 1910
there were eleven large factories en-
gagged in manufacturing ivory goods
in Dieppe, France. To-day most large
cities in Christcndom have at least one
such establishment, and the trade is by
no means on the decline. The import
of ivory into Great Britain in 1845, was
S25 tons; in 1855, 437 tons; in 1865, 549
tons; in 1875, $50 tons, and in 1885,
439 tons. The importation in 1875 is
the largest of which there is any authen-
tic record. To produce this quantity
about $4,000 elephants are destroyed
every year. 1t is estimated that no less
than 81 900 are killed every year on the
west coast of Africa alone. Most of the
ivory comes from that region. About
fourth of the aggregate product is
obtained in India. The finest ivory
comes from equatorial Africa. Tusks
vary much in size. Two tusks obtained
y few years ago in Mozambique for q
cross were among the largest ever seen
One weighed 180 pounds and the other
17O. They were almost straight. There
is an unauthcnticatcd report, however.
of one which weighed $50 pounds being
sold in Amsterdam. The officers of two
British vessels were shown. by native
King of Africa, two ttlsks which
weighed two hundred pounds each.
They were eight feet long, and meas
ured two and half feet in rcumfer-
enco ut the base. Large tusks are moro
valuable per pound than small ones. A
great deal of the ivory used in Russia
is still obtained from the remains of
lnammoths. St LOinis Globe Democrat.

ABOUT PARTY WALLS.
The General Laws Governing Their Own
crsLip and Construction.

The General Laws GOverning Their Own
crship and Construction.
A party wall in law is the wall divid-
ing lands of different proprietors, used
in common for the support of structures
on both sides. In common law, an
owner who erects a wall for his own
buildings, which is capable of Icing
used by an adjoining proprietor, can
not compel such proprietor, when he
shall build next to it, to pay any por-
tion of the cost of such wall. On the
other hand. the adjoining proprietor has
NO right to make any use of such wall
without consent OF the owner, and the
consequence may be the erection of two
walls side by side, when one would an

is often secured by IN agreement to
erect wall for common use, one

ono is to build Mt the time, he gets re-
turn from the other party of what it
costs him. Under such an agreement,
each has IN easement In the land OF the
other while the wall stands. and this ac-
companies the title and descent. But IL
the wall is destroyed by decay or acci-
dent, the easement is gone, unless by q
deed such contingency is provided for.
Repairs to party walls are to be boruo
equally; but II one has occasion to
strengthen or improve them for u more
extensive building than was ut first con-
templated, he can not compel the other
to divide the expense with him. I'm
