Gentlemen: l applied the two sacks of Cere-

you express it, "feeding the crop while grow

profits per acre. Yours truly,

into mock auction shop on Chatham
street, or Park row, as you please.
He knew what he was about, but Mrs
NJ. was in the country, and time hung
heavily on his hands. There were five
men in the place. How many were cap

hard to say.

held up to view a handsome ivory

''How much am l offered?" said the
auctioneer, after dilating on the merits

he would start the bidding by way of a
joke.

asking for another bid. Wrap up the

LIGHT OPERA GLASSES.
They Are Made of Aluminium and Said to
BE Beautiful.

While much has been written about
the various uses to which aluminium will
be put when it can be separated from
the substance with which it is found
ombined, the cheap process which has
been sought for so earnestly still seems
as far as ever from discovery. The metal
is. however. secured in its pure state in
considerable quantities by the old and
costly laboratory method, as its beauty,
lightness and strength make it practi-
cable to employ it for various purposes
in spite of its high price.
One of the recent uses to which il has
been put is in the manufacture of opera
glasses. It's chief advantage here is it's
lightness. The ordinary glasses are SO
heavy that it is exceedingly fatiguing
to the arm and the hand 10 use them for
any length of time Holding the hand
in an unwOnted position for any time is
especially firing when the hand has to
sustain the weight of an old-fashioned
opera glass. This discomfort has been
lessened by holding the glass at the
end Of a stick of metal or tortoise
she'll. The opera glasses which are
made of aluminium are so light. COM
pared with the gold or other ones that
they actually seem TO be mzfe of paper.
Besides, they are exceedingly beautiful.
as the FURNISHED metal glistens like
silver, and in addition does not tarnish
easily.
An objection to the new style Of
glasses, however, is its cost, even .
small one selling for SIS in New York.
The high price is chiefly due to the fact
that the articles are i'm ported. and have
to pay duty Of 10 per cent In Ger
many they cost only about half as much
as they do here. Another thing which
might deter a person from buying one OF
the aluminium glasses is the fact that
they are likely to become much cheaper
in short time. 1t is highly probable
that some chemist will discover the
long-sought process before long. and then
the now precious metal will perhaps be
cheaper than iron.
Again, when aluminium is sold at such
a low price it is possible that opera
glasses made of it will be little used in
spite of their disadvantages on account
of their very cheapnesS-N. Y. Tri-

capable of the exercise of every artifice

enough, but in every other she was mad.
Moreover, she had not forgotten her hor-
