Preparing and Spinning Flax.

Flax gives lis two classes OF yarn,
namely. linen or line yarn and tow yarn.
The processes of preparing linen yarn
are very similar to those of preparing
worsteds; of course, the machines are
different in their construction, because OF
the difference in the length and character
of the fibre. Flax is 'hackled," beat or
crushed to make it fie ible; it is then
'scutchcd," an operation equivalent to
combiug. In some cases the fibres are
too long to work; they are then broken
bv "saw." After the scutching the
short fibres are carded for "tow" yarn in
the same manner as the ''noil," or short
tibrcs of wool after combing, are oarded
for woolen yarn.

Millionaires in O Chicago Restaurant

The restaurants in tho business dis

of millions is often seen alongside OF

Value of Snowy Uniforms.

Lord Wolsclcy is very decided on the
value Of dress uniforms. "Thc soldier
is a peculiar animal" he says, who can
alone be brought to the highest cttclen'
cy by inducing him to believe that he
belongs to a regiment infinitely superior
to other, about him. In their desire to
foster this spirit colonies are greatly
aided by being able to point to soma Ic'
culiarity in dress" Again he says: '"fhe
better you dress a soldier the more
highly he will be thought Of by womcr
and consequently by himself"

A Climatic Popularity.

A correspondent of an Eastern paper
points out the fact that at Lucerne, IN
the southern part OF this state, high
range of thermometer-he puts it at
11G-can be endured even by the
workers in the field without great deal
of inconvenience. He attributes the
fact to the movement of the coast winds
and the cool nights which tend so much
to recuperation. This condition of the
atmosphere is not peculiar to
Luccrne and Southern California. It.
is common also to Central and q
part of Upper California. It is we'll
established fact that in this state ninety
degrees of heat does not cause great
deal of personal discomfort. 1t can be
endured much more easily than seventy
six degrees at the East. The higher
range with US is not attended with
wiltcd collars, nor crushed wristbands,
except in the case of violent exertion.
The reason is not exclusively the
prevalence of coast winds, but the
dryncss OF the atmosphere. The heat
absorbed by the system at once radiatcs
in all directions. At the East
in consequence of thu greater moisture
of the atmosphere, tho heat is retained.
Californians have been known to flee
prccipitatcly from New York with a
thcrmometrical range of from seventy
six to eighty degrees, though ten
degrees moro would not render them
uncomfortable IN the southern country,
or the Sacramento or San Joaquin val
lcys. The radiation outward of the
heat is also supposed to account for the
absence of sunstroke, and of rabies
among dogs.-San Francisco Enquirer.

HER SINGING.

Her voice rose like the rising lark,
And scared into the skies;
To ME the stars left heaven dark,
And gathered in her eyes.
The trembling Dir in music broke,
And quivered into bells;
The mocking bird in envy woke;
The sea despised its shells.
The ripping wavelet softly flows,
And whispers to the shore;
The perfume Of the sleeping rose
Seems sweeter than before.
A breeze drinks up the fairy sound
And sighs it through the air;
I saw a star slide to the ground,
The better still to hear.
So osilvery soft it seemed to me,
So tremulously sweet,
I longed to fall upon my knee
And worship at her feet.
Methought 'twould be happy thing
No more sound to hear,
So those melodious tones might ring
Forever in my ear.

Blaine,
ATGRAND RAPIDS.

GRAND RAPI2s, Mich, October Sat
Grand Rapids, Blaine was met by an
immense and enthusiastic crowd. At
O'Clock the doors of Hartmann's Hall
were thrown open and the crowd poured
in in a great flood, which occupied
every inch of space. A larger part q ii
was made up of workingmen in the fac
torres, VINO listened TO Blaine with close
at ention.
The gist of the speech was an
answer to Postms ster- General Dick
inson's statement to the effect that
New England and the east gets all the
advantage of protective tariff, while
the west sustalns the burden. That, he
said, has been the cry of free traders
ever since there was d west, and yet
somehow in this great national pro-
gress the west seems to keep her place
in the van. Quoting from figures
Blaine said that New England took
600 600 tons of grain annually; that out
of three hundred million pounds of
wool raised in the west, New England
took onehalf, paying the west SIS 600, :
600 for it. She pays $20,000,0 900 for
bread for which the farmers of the
Western States receive S55 600 600 !;
for butter, she pays the West over
So, 900 600, while the States of Michi-
gan, Wisconsin and Minnesota receive
$4,000 900 a year for Western lum-
Der. OF copper, lead, salt and hides,
the aggregate of $50. 000.000 is paid,
thus making an aggregate of $780,
O00,0G0. But Dickinson, being a MEM
Der of an administration that can
afford to lend bankers 100000, 900
year of government money, with
out interest, may think S200,0 600
not much of sum, though, added
Blaine, this amount comes very handy
in settling our balances at the end of
the year. He pointed out the fact that
the total value of the product sent to
old England was 1927 100000, to show
the advantage and value of home
market; showing what 4 ,000, 600 of peo-
pie at home can consume compared to
40 100000 of one country beyond the
sea. He thought Dickinson could i'm
prove himself greatly by studying the
history of his country.
LAST EVENING.
Grand Rapids was ablaze tonight
with the fash of 1000 torches, lighting
up the faces of some 1000 citizens, who
turned out to do honor to the city s
guest, Mr.. Blaine of Maine. The pro-
cesslon was reviewed by him from the
balcony Of his hotel. Three largely at
tended meetings were held in as many
halls The largest. held in Hartnann's
Hall, was briefly addressed BY Blaine,
VINO said his judgment of Michigan was
that as ever she would be found in the
Repu bican procession and Harrison
and Morton will be the next President
and Vice-Pr sident of the United
States" (Cheers) II believe" said
Blame. their election is essential to
the continued prosperity of this
country, and if the people of this
country believe in protective system,
they must put at the head of the gov
eminent President who believes in
that system"
Blaine was followed by Generals
Ewing and Noyes, whose speeches were
heartily applauded.

HOUSE

The Senate joint resolution was

Baird to accept from the President OF
the French Republic diploma confer
ing membership in the Assoc iation OF
the National Order of the Legion OF
Honor upon him.
Mason, of Illinois, asked unanimous

banking from the further consideration
of the resolution offered by him some
months ago, asking for an Investigation
of the allegation that the national
banks to which the public money has
been loaned have been solicited tor con-
tributions to the Democratic campaign
fund.
The demand for the regular order by
Mcmillan operated as an objection.
Wheeler, of Alabama. then addressed
the House on the tariff question. At
the conclusion of Wheeler's remarks,
in which he criticized the Senate bill as
being in the interests of monopolists
and detrimental to the agricultural
interests, the House adjourned.

ADJUSTMENTS.
DIPLOMACY.


A five hundred dollar house came out
to wind up the Home Club season and
to witness the third performance OF
Sardou's Diplomacy. The piet is one
of the best known of the Clubs recent
renditions, and the presentation last
evening was marked by much the usual
signs of favor, though. critically con-
sidered. the performance was not so
even as before, some portions being bet
ter done than on the original produc
ton, while some fell short Of it. The
elegant and effective dialogue between
Messrs. Wells, White and Spencer was
an instance of improvement. as was
Edith Clawson's new ending OF the play.
Mr.. Spencer did some stumbling in the
early part of the play, but made more
of his last act. Mr.. Young was stronger
than ever as Stein; it is his best part.
Birdie CUMMINGS is also at her best in
Dora, and Lottie Claridge made a good
portrayal of the fussy mother-in-law.
The first act was slow, but
the Others picked up greatly in
action and interest, and Mr.. Wells
and Birdie Cummings were called
tor at the end of the third act. The
dressing of ladies and gentlemen and
the stage mountings were of high de-
gree of excellence.
Forty-two ladies of the Knights Tenn
plar sat in body in the audience last
evening, their Turco caps presenting a
striking and not unpleasing effect. The
ladies seemed to enjoy the performance
thoroughly.
TIE fair and conference season has
been one OF the most prosperous in the
prosperous career of the club, the re-
ceipts running between 81 SEQ and
So 600 on the four nights. The company
will now take needed rest. and will
probably next be heard from IN the
military spectacle, Youth.

A knife covered with blood and bot
