LILIES FROM BERMUDA
y. Y. Express, March is,

y. IL. ENpreSS, MdlCh TO-
The enormous demand for Easter
lilies about this time has started a
new industry in Bermuda. Not sat
isfed with producing enough onions
to make the whole world weep, the
inhabitants of the sunny ilse have
gone into the lily growing. The last
Bermuda steamer brought fifty box
es containing about 1000 lily
blooms. They are worth about So
a box at wholesale, and as there are
about eighty blooms in a box, re-
tailed at twenty and twenty five
cents each, there is large profit in
them for the florists. The blooms are
picked few days before they are
ready to open, and packed in cotton.
Two days exposure to the light af-
ter they are unpacked here will open
them. Large shipments are expect
ed on the steamers arriving during
the next two weeks.
In June and July the lily bulbs
are sent here from.Bermuda at the
rate of 100000 season. A num-
Der of truck gardeners make spe-
cialty of supplying the bulbs and
blooms, and the climate is so well
adapted to the business that it is
said to be very profitable.

The First Year With Colts.

The treatment Of colts should be
somewhat different from that Of a
work horse. Nature furnishes the
young colt with liquid food which
is exactly adapted to its wants. The
milk of the dam contains sugar for
respiration and to keep up animal
heat-caesin to build up its muscles
and bone-oil to Intricate and cush-
ion its joints, and lay on fat to round
out it's form. The nutriment Of this
food is in solution, requiring a very
sligh: amount of digestion to change
it to blood. The feeder of the young
colt should make the change from
the mothers milk as little violent as
possible; therefore it is advisable,
when that can be done to teach the
colt to drink cows milk at weaving
and give it about four quarts per
day with other food. The weaving
can be made very gradual by giving
two quarts of cows milk with a
quart of bran twice per day, and af-
ter little while give pint of oats,
besides grass. Early-cut and nicely
cured hay should be given when
grass is gone, and also few carrots,
beets. or turnips. These roots will
be an almost perfect substitute for
grass. Grain should be given in
very small quantity at first, and not
usually more than two quarts OF oats
Per day during the first winter. But
we prefer food in semi liquid state
for the colt and think that bran and
cows milk are much better than
oats the first winter. All green food
is much more easily digested than
dried, and therefore the roots are an
excellent addition, and keep the
stomach and all the secretiOns in 4
healthy condition. 1t is always
found that healthy, well-formed
colt makes fine progress when the
dam yields a good supply of milk.
The intelligent feeder should try to
initiate nature, and furnish an album
dant supply of food to the colt, con-
tanning the same elements in as sol
ubIe a condition as possible, so that
this fine growth which the colt made
upon the milk of the dam shall not
be lost but continued undiminished.
Very much depends upon the first
winter. Often an attempt to save a
few dollars in feed has resulted in
the loss of ten times the amount in
value of the horse grown. One can
not afterward make up for Il def
cheney at this period. Liberal feed
ing and good care produce a liberal
return. The colt should have the
means of exercise in the open air
each day, and its stall or stable
should have a dry dirt floor with
good bedding. Plank floors are a
fruitful cause of bad feet.

Up on the second floor the flow of
electric light is as strong as elsewhere.
The managers room, library and
large lecture room take up The floor.
In the lecture Dom special electric
conductors are arranged for giving
experiments and illustrations.
On the floor above a handsomely
fitted up billiard room, with the club
house kitchen and buffet in the rear.
The other rooms in the building are
devoted to sleeping apartments for the
accommod alton of members who may
desire to remain in the house over
night, Nowhere in The building is
one allowed to forget that elpctr icitv
is king. Your steak is cooked to or
der IN an electric range. Your boots
are BACKED by an electric device;
self winding electric clocks tell you
the time of day, and when you pay
your dues electricity opens the safe
door for you. All in all, the Elec-
tic Club is & wonderful Institution,
n the three or tour hundred per
sons who attended the housewarming
last night were fully convinced Of
this.

Of the club, received The guests, who
were presented to him by the Recep-

Having monopoIized the supply of
refined sugar for the United States
market, the Sugar Trust now desires
to control the agencies by which the
supply is distributed to consumers,
and with this end in view it has under
taken to handicap the small whole
%Salers for the benefit of the large ones.
All wholesalers have heretofore re-
ceived a discount of one-half of l per
cent without regard to the quantities
bought by them, Hereafter this dis
count will be allowed to those who
buy less than 100 barrels, but those
who buy more than 100 and less than
1000 barrels will receive a discount
of | per cent, while all who buy
more than 1000 barrels will receive
u per cent. Under such conditions
a few large wholesalers a undersell
all others. The tendency of such a
policy is to place the wholesale trade
in the hands of a few persons. The
small wholesalers may complain,
as do the importers whose carg0es
must be sold without the benefit of
competition, but what are they going
to do about it2 They suffer in COM
pany with consumers. Congress can
bring relief by reducing or removing
the duties on refined sugar, and pos
sibly the Attorney-G General of this
State may reach the conclusion that
the Trust has usurped the functions
of certain corporations or that those
corporations are exercising powers
beyond those granted by law and are
exercising them to the injury of the
grantors.-Ibid

TRUSTS BASED on THE TARIFF

Certain representatives ana organs
of the tariff pools or rings have en-
deavoured to divert attention from
the combinations which derive from
tariff duties alone their power to rob
the people by killing competition in
the home market. Their influence
was rxerted in the House of ReprcSen-
tatives a few days ago to procure Il
modification If the resolution provid-
ing for an investigation Of TruSts.The
object of the resolution as il was IN
%troduced, and as explained by its au-
thor, a prOtectionist, was "to aScer-
tain, if possible, what effect these
combinations or Trusts have had upon
the prices Of neceSsaries OF life whr-
ther or NOT by reason of the tariff
they are enabled to place greater
prices upon them" OF course it
was Mr.. Randall who at once urged
that the scope of the inquiry should be
so extended that it would include the
Standard Oil Trust aud the Whisky
Trust. II desire" he added, "to en-
brace also gas companies" He also
assured the House that the recent adj
vance in the price of sugar had been
caused not by the formation of a S"g-
ar Trust, bat by 'he operation Of the
law of supply and demand.
The Standard Oil monopoly may
deserve investigation by Congress,
but the committee will doubtless bear
in mind that the Oil Trust does not
depend for it's existence and profits
upon laws of Congress enacted Ero~
fessedIy for the good of the whole
people, and now abused for the en-
richInent of a few at the expense of
the many. Part OF the power used
by the Oil Trust to crush competi-
ton will be taken away il the inter
State commerce laws provisions about
discrimination shall be enforced.
, 1888-02-18

Moreover, the States can cause the
ACKNOWLEDGMENT of the great Trust by
annulIing The charters of its compo-
nent corporations. Such a Trust as
that which controls the gas companies
of Chicago is a local organization,
and the authorities Of the city or
those of the State of Illinois should
be able to deal with it, Al inquiry
about the Oil Trust or such loca! mo:
nopolieS ought not TO take up the
time of the Committee on ManufaC-
lures to the exclusion Of The more im-
porran; inquiry about Trusts or pools
built up under the shelter of the tariff
and depending upon tariff rates.
The committee can easily see, for
example, that the Sugar Trust, which
is already raising the price of sugar
10 the consumer while it depresses
that OF the raw sugar which is to pass
through It's factories, can under the
present schedule OF duties control the
supply and the price of sugar in the
OHllCu NId'6S. lie tdlHl IdNES VIdC-
rically prohibit the importation Of res
fned>ugar. The law really says 10 the
people of the country thai they must
look to the Trusts factories for sugar.
A reduction of only those duties
which are imposed on The raw sugar
which the Trust imports and refines
would not, probably, reduce the cost
of the refined product; but a reduc-
ton of the rates on refined sugar
would compel the Trust to submit to
competitions, aud the people might
escape from its eXactionS. 1t is Trusts
of this kind that should first be inves-
tigaied- Trusts or pools like those
which keep the price Of steel rails and
the steel parts Of agricultural imple-
mentS far above the limit Of n fair
profit, combinations like those which
fix and hold the prices of school
states, paper bags, linsecd oil, glass
ware, and many other products. The
agents otSuch combinations wouldlIke
to have the committee devote its time
du ing the whole Spssionto the Stand
ard Oil Trust.-N. Y. Times.

IN A MODERN FARMLAND.

Electricity was king last night at
II East Twenty second street, where
his subjects, the members Of the
Electric Club, have built a most COR
geous throne for him The club is
young, only a year old, yet last even
ing it threw open its magnificent
home with a membership Of over
four hundred electricians and gentle
men engaged in allied branches.
Furnished throughout with exquisite
taste, the club house is a monument
TO the possibilities of electricity.
Everything in and about it is electric
the lighting, the heating, the
cooking.
As you ascend the wide steps lead,
ing to the vestibuIe you are barh"d in
a soft, mellow food IF electric light,
which is reflected again and again
from the ground glass in the door
leading to the wide hallway. Before
reaching the top step The controlling
spirit of the establishment hastens to
your service-electriciry opens the
door for you. A second electric CON
Gact point on one of the steps manip.
ulates an unseen hand which turns
the handle of the hall door noispless-
~. The great hallway fairly blazes
with electric radiance cast from a
hundred lncandeScent lamps inclOsed
in beautiful cut glass globes. From
the ceiling hangs a fantastic chande-
lier or electrolier, as it becomes in
this electric fairy land. Dozens OF
arms shoot out from the brass stem
wttII encased lights at the ends like
balls of fire.
10 the right is the club office in
old oak, and richly studded with cut
glass mirrors. To the left is a large
parlor and reception room, and there
the Goddess of Electricity, a beautiful
nude maiden holding aloft IL glowing
arc of light, stands enthroned on q
beautiful rosewood pedestal before
a great mirror. The parIor is richly
furnished in maroon velvet plush.
Great easy chars and swelling Ioun-
GEES invite to rest. Overhead hang
two gorgeous e~lectroliers, the like
of which have never been seen before.
Glintrng brass aud priSmatic pendants
heiShltm the effect of the dozens OF
electric lamps, which shine through
their cut-glass barriers with a beauti-
tul soft radiance.
Back of the parIor is the cafe, fur
nished in old oak carved in the quaint
est designs. Suspended over the
massive carved table hangs another
eIectrolier of quaint design, the bulbs
OF light hidden away in queer shaped
colored glass globes.
After one has viewed all this, the
most natural thing in the world is TO
go down stairs where is located the
source from which all the light and
briIliancy in the club house flows.
Two complete electric light plants
are in the basement, The engine is
working away necessarily, but the
usual noise and jar are absent.

She Would not Speak.

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE Post
prints the following: One day last
week Miss West, the daughter of the
late English minister, was IN a store
on the avenue and with her was a
member of the Italian legation. While
they were talking over purchase Mrs.
Cleveland's carriage drove up to the
curb and she came in. She spoke
to the gentleman. and for moment
talked with him, and then stepped to-
ward Miss West and extended her
hand in greeting, but the young lady
would have none of 1t. She had not
quite forgotten how Mrs. Cleveland's
husband had snubbed her father, and
with naughty grace SIZE folded her
hands in front of her ana turned her
back on the presidents wife. 1t W as
embarrassing, very embarrassing, not
only to the two parties Interested. but
also to the gentleman, and Mrs.
Cleveland relieved it by transacting
her business and going without the
usual parting salutalions.
