TALK ABOUT KITES
There are many things TO be considered in
making a good kite. The most popular form
in this country is the three stick, six cornered
kite In building a kite OF this kind great
care should be exercised to make It neither
too lean nor too fat II It is too lean 1t will
shake and SILVER, and II IL Is too fat it will
rock and Stagger around in a most unman-
nerly way. II you strike the happy medium
you will have what is technically known as a
ISLANDER, y and that is what every boy wants.

AIRY.
The adjustment of the tail, while not a diff
fcult matter, Is Of the utmost Importance.
1t should DO hung exactly in the middle. Tho
tail itself should be long and slender and of a
uniform size. L old way of tying wisps OF
paper on a string for n tail was very pretty,
but 1t gave n kite an ungainly swagger, and
besides those tails are always getting tangled.
a pretty idea is to tic n lighted paper lantern
to the tail and send the kite up at night.
In Fig. 4 tho effect OF hanging the "ny
string" too high on tho belly band Is shown.

ENGLISH CAPITAL.

The young man whom Consul Cen

ford left TO run tho indianapolis
Journal in their absence is now cack-
ling over English Investments in this
country rs n vindication OF our tar
iff system. This particular form of
idiocy is getting tiresome, for the fol-
lowing reasons: l. II tho Republi-
can policy is sc favorable to English
capital, how does it happen that last
FAN the Republican papers said it
was tho Democratic policy that Eng
lish babies cried forP 2. English in
vestments in this country are not
new; tho statement that they did not
begin to be co nsiderable in amount
till after Harrison's election is nm ab
surd and pr~eposterous untruth.
Eight or ten years ago moro English
capital was invested in American cat
tie ranges than has ever been talked
about in connection with breweries.
A tabular statement of the English
owhershfpof -28,e60;663 aofes OF Amer
lean soil has been published at inter
valsin the Congressional Record for
several years. For the past 20 years
English capitalists have been large
holders of American railroad socuri-
ties, 3. The investment of English
capital in this country is not an ex-
elusive compliment to us. 1t has
been recently stated that Sl22, 1000, 600
Of English capital was invested last
year in the Argentine Republic. So
great is tho congestion Of capital in
England that it is invested in every
thing, everywhere, ever in Turkish

Receipts OF cattle for the week
some 10000 less than last week. The
supply Of good native cattle for ex-
port has not been excessive, and
prices for that grade have improved
from 10 to 30 cents per cwt- during
the week. We quote export cattle
in good demand. The exporters took
all tho good cattle, which caused
prices on other grades to advance
from 10 to 20 cents per cwt. Very

look for next week. II the present

The annual convention Of the

II Mr.. st. John had proposed to do

therefor U. S. legal tender notes We
would be in favor OF his proposition.
The latter portion OF his suggestion
We heartily endorse; but We are OPP
posed to the National Banking sys-

instituted. We believe that the Gov
ernment should furnish I'm adequate
supply OF circulating medium in the
shape OF currency, instead OF granting
the privilege to corporations whose
only object is to make millions in the
transaction. Retire the National
Bank notes, supply their place with
u. s. legal tenders and open the
mints to he free coinage OF silver,
ard the financial prosperity Of. the

it valid for two years. Therefore all
