The Mineral Industries in 1888.


The year 1888 was a very eYentfuI
as well as a very prosperous one TO the
mineral industries. The value Of the
mineral products, which in 1887
amounted to the enormous total of
S542, 284, 225, was still further increased
In nearly every item in 1888, when it
undoubtedly exceeded $3.50, 600, 600. or
more than the aggregate value Of the
mineral products of all the European
countries.

Commencing Work in.,he Spring.
Practical Farmer.

II is very important TO commence work
as early in the spring ss the condition OF
the soil will permit. Glover and oats
should be seeded at the fret opportunity,
and it is not good plan to attempt to
work the soil uatil it ia sufficiently dry to
get into good filth without too much
work. But often day of two is Lost after
the soil Is in a condition TO work that by
a little planning could have easily been
avoided. Aud il is too often the case that
with the changeable weather, day or
two 'ost in getting ready TO go to work
after the work really might have been
done means week or ten days actual
delay in getting in the crop.
The work ought to be pushed along as
rapidly as possible, and much oap be
done in the way of avoiding unnecessary
delay by planning and preparing ahead,
II ia quite an item to know how you want
the farm work done, as often much IL
lost by no. knowing just what to do.
Then, again, muoh time is lost often in
citing ready to work; seed must be Sc
cured, the land cleared up, fences repaired
and dozens of other items looked after,
all OF which will require more or lees
time, and il delayed until time for DOM
menciDS work in the spring will cause de-
lay in getting in the spring crops, AID
often seriously Affect the growth and
yield. II is important with spring crops
to get them all III at the proper time. |
have found thai in the greater part of
farm work there is beat time for sowing
or planting the seed, and the nearer the
work can be done to this time the better
will be the results secured. And by plan
ming ont the work first whatever can be
done in way of preparation ia done, and
by this plan the work can b kept up and
everything done in good season.
The best growth and yield can be best
secured by thorough preparation of the
soil before sowing or planting the seed,
and with cultivated crops the work of
giving thorough cultivation can be con-
menced earlier and be kept up easier If
the soil ia we'll prepared before seeding.
And here is another advantage in getting
ready in advauoe--nOre time can be
spared to properly prepare the soil than
could be done under q different plan of
management. The surest plan of being
able TO seed early is to begin early and
have everything as nearly ready as posi-
ole, and while there Is leisure, as there
usually is at that slime, look over the work
aud carefully plan out the seasons work,
then start out 20 get ready.

wonderful how many chair whose IN
Welding back has heretofore only served
10 remind you that you too have back
and very tired one, may become haven
of rest aud peace by the addition of one
of these pillows. These may be made
artistic and pretty with little work
and very slight expense by using some
of the material so much in vogue now
for decorative purposes. Blue denim
or blue jeans is q very effective covering
and combines the many merits of being
cheap, dur able, artistic and fashionable.
lt may be made up on either the right or
the wrong side, and the rather intense
blue tone is softened very much by re-
psated washings before nsing it. One of
the newest OF these pillows is oblong
rather than square, a conventional design
marked on the under or lighter colored
side OF the denim and outlined j, white
cord either couhed or button holed down.
The two narrow ends of the pillow are
finished by long fringe Of the white
cord. To make this you cot the cord
into twenty two Iepghths; take two of
these lengths and draw them through the
denim an eighth of an inch from the
edge; twist them tightly and tie little
the end. Repeat this along the edge of
the pillow at intervals of an inch or an
inch and a quarter. The fine N acreme
or hammock cord lie the kind used.
The pillows are also pretty with conven-
tionslized chrysanthemums, dogwood or
Marg uerItes powdered over the top, or
clustered disks or star shaped figures,
and worked in white linen floss or this
heavy rope linen. Or they may be done
In soft yellows and olives, or white cord
button .holed down with yellow linen, and
may be finished simply by heavy twist
ed white cord. Pillows of the white
Bolton shseting are worked in the rope
linens which come in the tapestry colors.
The different shades of yellow and goldeH
brown and the dull blues are particularly
effective on the cream oolored ground of
the sheetiug. A pillow of unbleached
butchers linen worked in yellow and the
ends finished with the long cYrd and tas-
sells of yellow is very artistic.
Hammock pillows are long and marrow,
fifteen by twenty-four inches being a
good dimension. One covered with the
plain yellow awning cloth and finished
across the two ends with yellow cord ana
tassels, gives a very gay and Mexican
effect to the hammock, suggestive of
tropical countries and langourous ease.
Tor any one who wishes to avoid the
many stitches which even simple design
req aires are the pretty chintzes and Gre
tonnes, or the more expensive India silks
which come in such exquisite oolorings.
These are decorative with no other finish
than that of drawing in the four corners
and adding little rosette of the chintz
or silk. A very good substitute for elder
down or feathers in stuffing these pillows
is excelsior, an inexpensive substance to
be found at any uphoisterer's.
Dainty baby pillows are made by Gov
ering the plain bedtioking case with pink
or blue silesia, and then making the little
pillow slips on fine white linen, fastened
at both ends with,pearl studs, and borders
Of drawn work or lace inserted above the
hem.

little about different articles of merohan-

sent the new clerk into side room where
he kept groceries TO attend TO some mat

some time he went in to see about him.
He found him eating something with
apparent relish and asked what he was
doing. The clerk replied: 81 have found
whole lot of little cheeses and they are
mighty good with crackers" The mer-
chant proceeded 70 Investigate and was
perfectly thunderstruck to find that the
boy had eaten nearly half box eff axle
