Enormous Sacrifice Purchases
Fine Swiss and Irish Point Flounc-

AND ALL-ovERs IN MATCHED AND iUN-
MATCHED PATTERNS.

We have just closed out from large i'm
porter and manufacturer the balance of his
stock of Swiss and Irish Point Embroderies
at our otCn price, and shall offer them at half
and less than half their real intrinsic value.
This is undoubtedly the greatest opportunity
ever offered the Washington public to buy
embroidcries. We secured about six
thousand yards, yet this quantity will quickly
disappear before the large demand sure to
ensue, hence we suggest an immediate re-
Spouse.
We do not quote the usual selling price Of
these Embrolderes on account of the abuse
of the practice by others. We have full
faith in your discriminating Judgment and
are confident that should you inspect the
Embroideries you will Immediately recognize
their great intrinsic value, and also the fact
that they are remarkably cheap. We can
only quote few special items, as 1t would
require more than column to itemize each
bargain lot.

Cost of Keeping a Horse.

The cost Of keeping a horse by the
most Of persons is mere guess work in
stead of careful figures. Mr.. j. Ell.
Andre, with view to enlightening the
uninitiated, gave recently in Rural Home
the following estimates: If one purchases
q good horse, 4 years of age, for $3.50 it
is q good bargain. A top buggy will
cost $125, cutter $25, harness $50, robe
$40, blankets So, comb and brush So,
whip 50, which amounts figure 1887.
Now if we take all into considera-
ton these will last on an average
ten years. Perhaps the wagon might
last longer, but it would need repairing
in that time; on the whole ten years is a
long average, as tho horse might be
worthless in five years.
If it costs Sj37 for ten years, it would
be at the rate Of 1897 per year, and the
interest on the whole outlay at per
cent. would be S2022. Add to this at
least four tons of hay, which has aver
aged in the past ten years SIG per ton,
S4S; one ton of straw for bedding, 81;
ninety bushels of oats at 30 cents per
bushel, S3l.50; shoeing S., and it would
be a cheap job to care for horse, wash
wagons, etc, for 81 per week, which
would bring the price to S52 per year, or
the sum total of S197.42 for Che year at
moderate figures. And yet we find
thousands who keep horse and have no
real business for it and do not keep a
COW, when the cost of keeping horse
will keep two cows, and yet they do not
see how they can keep COW.

WASHINGTON NOTES.
THE CRUISER CHARLESTON.


WASHINGTON, December 29.-Mr. Scott,
president of the Union Iron works, of San
Francisco, to-day notified Secretary Whit
ney of his acceptance of the terms pro-
posed by the department for the official
steam trial of the cruiser Charleston and
that she will be ready within six months
THEAPPRoPBIATIoN BILLS.
WASHINGTON, December 29.-The full
subcommittee of the senate finance com
mittee, in'charge of the tariff bill, was in
session to day, going over the details of
the measure as far as they have not been
passed upon by the senate, and determin-
ing what changes to propose. When the
consideration of the bill is resumed next
week it is hardly possible the committee
will be able to complete its work before
the new year, and it will probably be nee
essary to continue the study of the meas
ure with view to perfecting it.
The subcommittee of the senate appro-
priation committee in charge of the Dis
trict of Columbia bill, are working hard
on it and will probably be ready to report
it to the senate next week.
In the house the Indian and sundry
civil appropriation bills are about com
pleted and will be reported in full COM
mittees next week. This leaves the forth
tication, army, naval deficiency, agricul
tural and postoffice appropriation bills to
be completed. Nearly all of them are in
an advanced stage and the indications are
that the first month of the New Year will
see them well out of the way of the house.

GERMANY.
ABOUT THE IMPERIAL FAMILY.

ABOUT THE IMPERIAL FAMILY.
BERLIN, December 29.-The New Yea
reception at court is awaited anxiously
the impression prevailing that the EN-
peror will see occasion to give utteranct
to some words pregnant with indications
of the coming years policy. Nothing
like speech can be expected, court prec
edent being against anything beyond 6
formal reception to diplomats and Off
cials generally. But some few words
conveying a message of peace to the
world are certainly looked for, the en-
peror readily finding a chance. None
will doubt the character of his
utterances. The rumor that Emperor
William recently went to Frederioksnalle
is entirely baseless. His majesty was
seen visiting Empress Augusta on Wednes
day. He dined with the Duke of SAKE
memingen on Thursday, and yesterday he
drove in the Thirgaden, walked through
the geological gardens, and after dinner
visited Count Herbert Bismarck.
Officials here assert that the condition
of the chancellor is in no wise serious, al
though abstention from work for time
is necessary. Prior to his relapse, Prince
Bismarck had arranged to come to Berlin
on the 18th to confer with the emperor
before the opening Of the landtag an6
reichstag. The question of making
additional state provisions fol-
the imperial family comes
up in the reichstag some time in Febru.
ary. Apart from his ample income as
king of Prussia the allowance of the EN-.
peror from the imperial funds is only
$750,000 yearly. 1t is reported the chan.
ceilor will inform the reichstsg that an
additional $350,000 is required owing to
expenditures involved in the increased
duties of the head of the empire. The
consensus of opinion is that some such
provision is necessary, and that the sum
mentioned is reasonable.
The coming court season promises to
be the dullest ever known, owing to the
fact that the period of mourning for the
late emperor has not expired. There will
be no court balls, and the diplomatic
corps will close their salons. The annual
charity subscription ball at the opera
house will not be had. The emperor
restricts the fetes to the observance of
the annual ordenfest on the Goth proximo,
and the banquet of the Order of the Black
Eagle on the 18th. His majesty has di-
rected that no celebration be held on his
birthday, January 81.

Cracked Corn for Poultry.

The principal reason for having corn
cracked is to get it small enough so that
the chickens can swallow it. This is all
very well if the poultry keeper is not too
far from the mill; but many cannot pro
cure cracked corn as often as desirable,
yet have ample facilities for raising corn.
1t is for the interest of such persons to
raise a kind of corn with very small
kernels, especially for chickens. There
are varieties of popcorn which meet the
case and furnish a fair yield. This corn
may be kept an indefinite time without
injury, and the kernels are of the right
size to be easily swallowed. The Dwarf
Pearl corn has the smallest kernels of
any variety, and at the same time af-
fords stable ears and goodly number
on stalk, so that it yields well.-Poultry
Yard.

MAKING BEEF
Why Butchers Pay More for One Beeve
Than Another of tho Same Weight.

Why Butchers Pay More for One Beeve
Than Another of tho Same Weight.
Making beef so that the better class of
consumers want it or do not want it, and
consequently so that it may be profitable
or improbable, is largely matter of
how the bones are covered, says National
Stockman. Two calves-twins, for that
matter-may be taken from the same
farm by different men, fed the same
length of time, sold at the same age and
in the same market, and command diff
ference of cent or more per pound-for
such things are done every day. How
is this to be accounted for?
The butcher can explain it, and will
do SO by telling you that with practi-
cally the same weight of bones in the
two animals he has in one case a beeve
which will dress sixty pounds or more
to the hundred weight, while in the
other he is glad to make fifty; that one
is rounded out with juicy, tender flesh
worth pound for pound more than that
OF the other, even if the quantity yielded
was the same; that among people who
know the quality of beef at sight he can
sell one animal in half the time he can
get rid of the other; that while he is in
dependent of any but cash customers in
selling the one, he is often fain to even
trust the uncertain in order to sell all of
the other; that every pound of the
former he sends out advertises his bust
ness, while in selling the other he does
so at the risk of injuring his reputation
among discriminating consumers
While we might clearly cite other rea-
sons why the butcher is clearly justified
in paying much more for one beeve than
another, these will suffice; and now let
us see why the calves have such dis
similar outcomes. To make long story
short, it is a matter which lies wholly
with the feeders. Given the same stock
and the same market, one has done his
work well, and the other has failed. One
has used his food to advantage and the
other has wasted it. One has fed Judi
ciously, literally, Systematically, and for
a positive end, knowing every step as it
was taken; while the other has done his
work loosely, carelessly and irregularly,
losing by neglect at one point as much
as he gained at another, and getting
through without any special idea in con-
nection with the whole matter further
than to wonder why he is never as
'lucky" as his neighbor. This thing is
being done over and over again every
day. Reader, in which way do you feed?

GYPSUM on the Farm.

In many sections of the country gyp-
sum is extensively used in agriculture In
its ground condition, when it is called
land plaster, and its best application is as
top dressing on meadows and pastures,
and it is especially beneficial on clover.
Its value for any purpose will depend on
the percentage of foreign admixture it
may contain in its crude state, as it is
seldom found entirely pure Pure plaster
is composed of lime SO per cent, sui
phuric acid 46 and water 81 per cent.
Gypsum exists in large quantities in
Nova Scotia, whence it is extensively
exported; also in New York and other
states. Its action as fertilizer is not
perfectly understood, but seems to con-
sist more in its attracting and concen-
trating ammonia from the atmosphere
for the use of plants than in any special
manurial value of its own. AS prepared
for use land plaster is quoted varfously
in different sections of the country,
ranging from 81 per barrel to s. and up
ward per ton. Pure gypsum, when cal
cined or heated 80 that the water is ex-
PEELED, becomes the plaster of Paris used
in the arts.

In the test experiments under con-

Of preventive incubation Svere tried
that of Pasteur and that of P. H. H. Geh-
rig. The latter gentleman system proved
failure, while Pasteur's system scored
a victory. Space will not admit of Pas
tours system being described in detail;
suffice it to say that it consists of inocula-
ton with two different civilizations of
the anthrax bacillus. These civilizations
are of increasing strength, the last con-

in which this virus is sent out from Pas
tours Partisan institute, the syringe en-
ployed and the method of performing
the incubation are figured in Nos. 1, 2,
3, of the second cut.
The outbreaks of this disorder, in Aus
tralia as in this country, clearly teach
that it is constantly reproduced by ami
mails grazing over land on which diseased
animals have deposited excreta or have
themselves persisted and rotted. In Eng
land, it has been found that by .iudicious
measures in destroying the carcasses of
those dying of the disease it may be
finally stamped out.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, December 29.-Local
Inspectors Hult and Harragh have slmos
completed their investigation of the Kate
Adams steamboat disaster. From a state
ment made by W. A Banker, first clerk of

she took fire. OF these 1873 are
known to have escaped, leaving fourteen
as lost. The inspectors have not yet con-

Things Worth Knowing.

Kind treatment and warm barns lessen
the feed bill
The parsnip is generally considered
sweeter and better for little freezing.
1t is estimated that the crows have
cost the farmers of Maine 100000 the
past year.
No eggs need be expected If the poul-
try house is not made comfortably warm
for the winter.
A good rubbing with card and brush is
liked by the COW as well as the horse and
gives equal benefit.
A mound of earth built up hard and
sharp around the base of young fruit
trees will protect from mice.
Turnips, especially if fed with the
leaves, will impart some taste to the but
ter, it is affirmed, and musty fodder,
noldy Straw, unripe or rotten roots and
turnip leaves are all more or less inclined
to give bad favor to milk.
Hubbard squash, properly steamed and
mixed with corn, rye or barley meal,
will make the best hog feed in the world,
it is claimed, and will cause the animal
to lay on fat fast. The mixture should
be about ten pounds of squash to two of
meal.

REMOVED TO rnDEaA1 COURT.
Suit Involving Various Texas Rail

A Suit Involving Various Texas Rail
roads and Companies.
New YORK, December 29-The suit of
Max j. Mayer against the Denver, Texas
and Fort Worth railroad, Colorado and
Texas Construction company, Panhandle
Construction company and Mercantile
Trust company,,to restrain the issue of
81 100000 Texas and Fort Worth bonds,
was removed to-day from the
supreme court to the United States
circuit court. The plaintiff is a
stakeholder in the Panhandle com pany,
which contracted to build and equip 249
square miles of read from a point 1876
miles north of Fort Worth to the Texas
line. The track was to be built in order
to complete the system from Denver to
Fort Worth.
The construction company was to re-
ceive in return for building the
trick, $4,000 of bonds aud $1,000
of common stock of the sys-
tenn. The Fort Worth and Denver City
road paid its share, but the Denver, Texas
and Fort Worth company attempted to
pay with portion of the 100000 bonds
issued to pay for building the third
track over the narrow guege on
the Denver and Rio Grsnde rail-
road between Pueblo and Trinidad, Col.
The plaintiff alleges the cost of making
this stan ard gauge road was only $780,
600, and that the $1,000,00 is, therefore,
illegal.
The suit was removed on the applica-
ton of Sydney Dillon, president of the
Texas and Fort Worth,au Granville Ridge,
of the Panhandle Construction company

Railroad Accident in Colorado.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Col, December 29-
Two freights on the Rock Island, running
twenty miles an hour, collided in Shar-

morning, completely demolishing both
engines and trains, instantly killing Fire
man Harding and crushing the skull and
otherwise injuring Engineer Hoge so that
he cannot live. Engineer e. o. Case re-

man Hotuz suffered from fractured hip,
an injured shoulder, severe wounds on the
head, and, it is feared, he will die. Other
train hands are only slightly bruised.
