jewelers. Weekly.
The most valuable jewels in the Ma
tional museum in Washington, d. c.,
are the relics of our great men near the
entrance. These are worth tens of thou
lands of dollars in intrinsic value of
the gold and jewels of which they are
made, to say nothing of the workman
ship. There are swords by the dozen
set with diamonds, guns inlaid with
precious stones, and canes which have
heads of gold in which gems are i'm
bedded. A guard is detailed to watch
them night and day. Each case has a
burglar alarm connected with it, and
the least meddling would set an electric
bell ringing and call the museum army
together.
The Grant collection is one. 1t is
made up of hundreds of gold articles
exQuisitely engraved, and brought from
all parts of the world; of rare stones, of
china, more valuable than though it
were solid gold, and of other articles,

The Overuse of Perfumery.

New York Sun
Let fair woman beware of using per-
fumes of pronounced and aggressive
odors lest she offend and ALLEVIATE the
regard of her friends. One of the chief
causes of the separation of the king of
Holland from his first wife was the
penchant of Queen Sophia for the scent
of musk, which odor was intensely dis
agreeable to her royal consort. So gen.
erously did she indulge her passion for
this perfume that not only were her own
apartments permeated with it, her
clothes, hair and. belongings offensive
with it, but any room through which
she passed would smell for days after of
her favorite perfume. The secret of
the fascinating fragrance which seems
to surround and emanate from dainty
women lies ever in the constant use Of
most delicate and faint perfumes whose
odor is intangible and suggestive. rather
thanin the liberal use of permeating and
intense odors, which are sure to offend
some sensitive olfactory organism.

most undignified, but couldn't help it.
As | went through the door Of the East

troll over my movements with that
crowd pressing me on. The fat woman
turned upon me. Before | could make

myself, and said to her: Madam, you

Varied Diet for Hogs.

While we do not believe that corr
will be as high as farmers expect, we
have no doubt there will be a great de.
mand next summer for some kind Of
feed that will take the place of corn in
the pig pen. If the price of hogs ad
vanceS, as all classes, whether farmers
or packers, expect, there will be plenty
OF good money in hogs next year to the
man who can grow them with the least
expense, and there will be a lively
casting round for something that will
grow pork the cheapest. If farmers
will make their preparations in time
they can save good deal of the ex-
pense of the summers crop of pigs.
One of the first things is to provide "a
good hog pasture. Where it is not al
ready provided arrangements should be
made for substitute. a few acres Of
land SOwn TO SuccotaSh, or a mixture
of wheat, oats. rye and barley will
do much to help out in time
of high-priced corn. Spring pigs
do not dIaw heavily on the
corn until June or July, and by this
time the grain will be far enough adj
vaneed in the succotaSh pasture to help
out very considerably. An acre or two
of oats and field peas. sOwn on rich land
as early as possible in the spring, will
prove very valuable next year. They
will be fit to turn in on or to feed in the
yard by June p, in the latitude of Des
MOineS. and will give from three weeks
10 a month of most excellent feed. The
next thing to provide is a few acres OF
Pride Of the North or some
other early variety of corn. On
general principles we advise this
every year. This corn should
be planted early in drills and compare
lively thick. 1t is too small in the ear
to yield largely if planted no thicker
than ordinary field corn, but has the
great advantage of maturing quite early
and has the very best feeding quality.
A farmer who has no hog pasture can
thus, with very little expense, make
provision for carrying quite lot of pigs
through to the next corn crop. His sue
cotash pasture will afford very valuable
| green feed up to and through July and
his early corn will see him through to
the usual corn crop, when he will be all
right. Think this matter over, friends,
says the "IIomestead."

CLEvELAND's LETTER OpP0RTUNr.

When MIR. Cleveland transmitted his famous
tariff message TO Congress in the winter proceed
ing his denomination for the Presidency, serious
complaint was raised by an important section
Of the Democratic party that he had sprung
the issue too suddenly and boldly upon the
attention of the country, that the general SEN
Iiment Of the party was not ripe for the uni
versal acceptance in It's rankso Of the principles
embodied in the message, and that the time
allowed for the education of the people was
entirely too short.
These uneasy forebodings seemed TO be con-
frmed by the result of the last Presidential
election, but the overwhelming victory of the
Democratic party in the recent Congressional
elections proved beyond the possibility of
dispute that the message was published at an
Opportunc moment, inasmuch rs it required
all the excitement Of Presidential campaign
10 bring the subject of which it treated fully
before the great masses Of the American peo-
pie. The triumph in the fall Of 1890 is to be
attributed principally 10 the educational in
fuences of the active Presidential campaign
in the fall of 1858.
In the silver letter which Mr.. Cleveland adj
dressed few days ago to the meeting in the
Cooper Union he formulated document Of
hardly less importance than his famous tariff
measure. II has created a sensation nearly as
profound. and it required just As much moral
courage and strength Of conviction u write IT,
II differs from the tariff measure, however, in
one very weightyrospoct. It cannot be said that
it was written and publishedata an inopportune
moment. Not even the most relentless of his
enemies in his own party can lay this charge
at his door. II lacks little of two years before
the next Presidential election takes place In
that comparatively long interval, the division
in the Democratic party in connection with
the financial question would. but for this en-
phatic expression Of opinion on the part of
Cleveland, have probably gone on widen
ing until the hour of the Presidential nomina-
ton had approached so near that it would
have been impossible to heal the differences
without dissensions that would have jeopa-ded
success in the election.
The voice Of Cleveland once more raises a
great living issue for the members Of his own
party. With the Eastern States now declin
ing 10 support a Democratic candidate who
fayo;s an unlimited coinage of silver, and
with the Western States refusing to support
candidate who is opposed to such coinage.
and with the South standing practically.
whatever may be its financial leaning, in
neutral attitude, it is plain that there has
either TO be a compromise or withdrawal
from the extreme position with reference 10
free coinage.
The uncompromising letter Of Mr.. Cleve
land is indirectly great service to the party
because it emphasizes the difference of opin-
ion on vital question. and tacitly enforces
upon the attention Of Democrats many months
