Ar the present time Austria sends to the
United Kingdom considerable quantity of
Indian corn, but little or no barley or oats.
READING, Pa, is the sauer kraut center
OF the country. Six thousand barrels of
this ''edible'' are put up there annually.

grown IN America, exceeding that of 1888,
hitherto the largest on record, by $1,000
bales. The total crop This season is 7,O46,-
$50 bales.
The Bank of America is the largest SIM
gle shipper Of gold abroad. Shipments are
made in stout kegs, very like the ordinary

IT is computed that this year IS corn crop,
It loaded for railroad shipment, would fill
2,S785n cars and make train that would

But such things come about I've found,
Where children are no more around.

CARVING IN STONE.
The Utility of Doing 1t After 1t Is in Posi-
ton in Buildings.

The Utility of Doing Tt After 1t Is in Posi-
ton in Buildings.
A great deal of the ornamental stone
work which has been done in some OF
our best buildings in recent years has
been cut after the stone was in position.
This is common indeed in large cities.
Within a short time this process was
rare. We can remember, in 1873, that
in Boston the practice was only then
coming into general use. 1t was intro
duced by number of architects who
had studied abroad. At that time in a
number of cases it was more of a fad
than q necessity, Us considerable stone.
cutting was done in the building which
might better have been done elsewhere.
But as the general character of the de-
sign changed, work of this kind be-
came more rational; though in some
carried to an unWarrantable extent.
The practice of stone-carving was
probably developed most fully in
France, where an extended use is made
OF the soft Caen sto~e. There the
mouldings. as we'll as tho more Orna-
mental carved and decorated portions,
are worked out on the bnilding. 1t is
quite absurd to do this to its fullest ex-
tent in the case of granite, hard lime
stone, and even brown sandstone, as
was done to a certain extent in the
East several years ago. Certain carved
and highly decorative portions can
best be done after the building has been
finished otherwise. But.a mere mania
for initiating foreign methods without
the exercise of reason is absurd indeed.
Some of the foreign methods of build
ing are better than ours: some of them
are not so good. II we can only use
sense enough to discriminate we will
be fortunate. indeed. The extremes of
patriotism, or mania for foreign imita-
tons are alike unsatisfactory. We re-
member a visit to Trinity College at
Hartford. a few years ago. They had
some very beautiful buildings after the
designs of Mr.. Burgess, the English
architect. They had this work in all
its beauty. but they had not imported
the English climate. they had the same
old New England climate, with English
windows, sashes and CRATES. We were
in a number OF students rooms, and
found them cold and miserable. There
is nothing better than American win
dows for the North American climate,
particularly that of the colder portion.

THE city would be greatly benefited
by railway connections with Llano
and the mining district of that and
the adjacent counties. The building
of that road is another of those enter
prises which must depend upon the
public spirit of individuals and the
iberality of corporations. There is
money in it for those who will do
business over it, lots of money, but
not for those who build it. At least,
no present profit. The road will pay
large dividends in the future but its
present construction will cost large
amount and the question is can this
amount be secured.

Cleveland and his party propose to
arrest her further progress. The south
needs political renovation, and the
adoption of broad guaged, liberal
and sensible creed. Democratic frauds
on the ballot box have utterly cor
rupted the southern democracy and
DESTROYED all regard for the purity of
