COMMERCIAL CLIPPINGS.

TIE bee industry is quito inportan,
in Ireland. About $4,000 swarms were
kept last year, producing some 500, 900
pounds of honey. Ulster county is tho
center OF this business.
THE English market is largely supplied
with Danishbutter furnished by the CO.
operative creameries of that highly-oul-
tivated country. English farmers are
greatly alarmed at this competition, al
though twenty per cent of the receipts
for Danish butter are required to pay
the transportation and selling charges.
ITALY refuses to admit grape plants
from countries which, like the United
States, have not adhered to the rules Of
the anti-phylloxera convention at Berne.
Shipments to that country must be 40
companied by an officially-oertifled
statement to the effect that the plants
are from earth that is at least twenty
meters distant from any old vine; that
such earth does not contain any vine,
and that no vines have been deposited
in 1t; thus making it impossible for
young plants to be contaminated by the
phylloxera.
THE Metropolitan Trading Associa-
ton Is the name of new company re-
Gently formed in London for the purpose
OF developing the dead-meat trade
between America and England. This
trade is already very large, the export
Of fresh beef from this country to Great
Britain alone exceeding eleven and
one-half million dollars annually. The
new company will ship direct from
Galveston, Texas, to London, by special
ly chartered and fitted steamers, thus
avoiding all the risk and half the ex-
pense Of transit by m all steamers
from a report recently published TN
Connecticut concerning the oyster bust
ness in that State, it appears that it is
Ihuch more remunerative than any of
the other large and established indus
tries. There Is a capital of So, 822, S11
invested in the oyster trade; the re-
ceipts are 81, 2Ss, 148, and when the wages
| OF 1,o24 employees and other expenses
are deducted there appears to be an act
ual profit Of about IS per cent. for the
year 1888. The largest receipts, $4S9,-
| 0To. were from opened oysters. Shell
oysters for the domestic market brought
| in SAL, 1877, but shell oysters for export
| brought Connecticut oystermen 1884,
/ 474.
OWING to the existing law in France
which allows farmers and fruit-growers
| to distill alcohol from the fruit grown
on their property without any license or
| supervision by revenue officers, the pro.
duction of pure brandy has greatly
diminished, while the adulterated prod
uct is very plentiful. The production
| of alcohol from wine has fallen in still
| larger proportion, one gallon being
made where seventeen gallons were
produced in 1876, and brandy is being
made from treacle, beet-root, pota-
| toes, etc. Dried grapes. soaked In
boiling water to the point Of fermenta-
ton, then mixed with Spanish alcohol
and some ooloring matter, is extensively
sold as wine

PIrrsBUisG, Nay 15.-Applicants for
license under the Brooks high license
law, aided by Ohio brewers and dis
tillers, will test the practical effect Of
tho recent decision of the Supreme
Court of the United States in the Iowa
case.
Attorneys for the liquor people here
ard Prohibitionist lawyers are of the
opinion that this decision subs tantially
wiped out the Brooks law, and that
liquor may be sold in the original pack
ages without State licenses at ALL
At the. recent session of the license
court here about 1000 applicants were
rejected. 1t is altogether likely that
Pittsburg will, before long, have ''orig-

THE grave-diggers Of Paris have
formed themselves into protective
union. They complain that they earn
only five francs q day.. and that when
they have grown old and infirm they

A MOVEMENT is on foot in various Con-
neoticut towns which have defaulted in
the payment Of bounties promised in
1854 to all soldiers who would re-enlist,
and so fill tho town quota, to compel
the town authorities to mako good tho
promises made. The boys have waited
patiently these many years and have at
last taken action. Not long ago the
courts issued n mandate compelling the
town Of Norwalk to pay the 500 bounty
promised, and tho town has paid the
score. Comrades in Stamford and other
towns are moving in the Same direction,
and 1t really looks rs if some of the
promises made in the years long ago
were about to be redeemed.

BobOlink Chimes.
A whir Of wings DER covered meadows,
The CLEAN Of harness and CROWN =.
And low on the swaying maple
bobolink settles down.
A chime as II from bells Of silver
Over the clover soft doth noat,
E>or yet tho rapturous sonR.b burst
Outpours from tho feathered throat
A whir Of wings, CLEAN Of yellow,
FAant-heard notes, and into the throng
OF clover heads gently nodding.
D~opt softly the bird and song.
Az Wor dsworth saw in dreamy wak1ngs
Danodils nodding In seas Of gold
For me the hills and meadows will ever
The chime OF oobolinks hold.

God help the boy that never secs
The BUTTERFLIES, tho birds, the bees
Nor hears tho music Of the breeze
Where 4ephyrs soft are blowing.
Who can not In sweet comfort lie
Where clover blooms arc thick and high,
And hear the gentle murmur nigh
or orooklets softly lowing.
God help the boy who does not know
Where tho woodland berries grow,
Who never sees the forests glow
Whom leaves are red and yellow.
Whose childish feet can never stray
Where nature does her charms display
For such . helpless boy I say
God help the little fellow.

THE late Mr. Randalrs successor will
cut n picturesque figure in congress.
Ex-Mayor Vaux is APPLY described as one
of the most striking figures in American
politics, being even more eccentric in his
dress and appearance than ex-Attorney-
General Brewster Passing along the
street, he presents queer picture, with
rufiled shirt front, immaculate broad
cloth suit, low patent leather shoes, tied
with broad black silk ribbon, and n
wealth of half-brown, half-silver hair
flowing upon his shoulders from beneath
high silk hat. He never wears an
overcoat, and his trousers never bag at
the knee, for he never wears them for !,
longer period than two weeks. He is
bluff in manner anG bold in speech, but
charming companion and firm
friend. He will add new interest to
congress.

THE establishing of female municipal
government in the town OF Edgarton,
Kan, has resulted in a revolution back
ward. All the women officials, from the
mayoress down, have resigned in a pet
because they find the cares of their pos
itions too burdensome. The new govern
ment undertook to carry out sweeping
reforms, and found itself, collectively
and individually criticised and laughed
at, while the men taxpayers decline to
settle the bills. So the women declare
that the men can run the old town to
suit themselves hereafter, while the
men say that they will re-elect the wo
men and make them taste to the full the
sweet and bitter of official experience
There is delightful opera-boutfe flavor
about the whole affair.

DoN'r expect an advertisement to bear

DON'T expect an advertisement to bear
fruit in one night. You can't eat enough
in week to last you year, and you
can advertise on that plan, either. Pso-
pie who advertise only once in three
months forget that most folks cannot
remember anything longer than about
seven days. If you can arouse curiosity
by an advertisement it is a great point
gained. Quitting advertising in dull
times islike tearing out n dam because
the water is low.

MINISTER'S DISCUSS THE RACE ISSUE.

dispatch from Indianapolis says; The Indian
apolis Methodist Minister'S meeting this morning
was the scene of lively tilt between members on
the race question. The Rev. Mr.. Hunter began IL
with set of resolutions against the alleged DarpaS
OF the southern whites toward the negro. AS soon
as the report presented the Rev Mr. cleveland,
a cousin of the ex-President, took strong ground
against its adoption saying that he saw no reason
for a minister's association to rush into such matter
when its only source of information was partisan
and secular press-one side denying and the other
Affirming certain things. The Rev. Mr. Edison doubted
the truth of much that reported on TINS SUBJECT
and opposed the resolution The Rev. Mr. Charpie
said: 81 have been three years In the South since
the war and was q soldier Of the South during the
war and know something of the Southern feeling
The adoption of such q resolution will not help III
