ONYX FOR THE WORLD.
The Ozark Mountains Almost the Onl,
Source of Supply.

Most people will be surprised to learn
that Missouri supplies the onyx for the
whole world, but 1t is a fact. neverthe-
less" said BILLY" Fitzgerald, we'll
known official around the Courts of st.
Louis, who was at the Grand Pacific yes
terday. "And not only does Missouri
supply the world with onyx, but st.
Louis capitalists control this supply
tnaps better. The onyx quarries of Eu-
rope and Asia have been exhausted, and
the onyx deposits of Algeria have been
consumed long ago. For many decades
the onyx quarriess of the old world were
the only source of supply. But the great
demand of recent years made heavy
drafts on the quarries and they soon be-
came exhausted. Then for a long time
the onyx quarries of Mexico supplied the
world, but they have not been able to
meet the demand. The quantities from
this source are greatly diminished, and it
will not be long before the Mexican quar-
ries are also exhausted. But Missouri
comes to the front just in time, when it is
feared that the world will have to roll on
without any more onyx.
These new onyx deposits have been
found in the Ozark Mountains In Mis-
souri,. They appear in the deep caverns
and on the rugged cliffs and lodges of the
mountains in Pulaski and Crawford
Counties. For long time after the war
this wild region was only occupied by
guerrillas and desperadoes of the James
stripe, who sought refuge in those fast
nesses after their predatory excursions in
the settlements of civilization. The Bald
Knobbers fiourished in that region 1t
has been known for some years, / be-
lieve, that onyx was to be found in the
OZarks, but not until last year did capital
find its way in there to develop the rich
quarries. The Ozark Onyx Company,
which was recently capitalized for $780,
900, is composed of st. Louis men. Quar-
ries in California are controlled by the
same company.
''It has been said that there are ONYX de-
posits in Arizona Territory. but no work
has ever been done in developing them.
The Arizona deposits are in out of the
way places in the mountains far away
from railroad facilities, and it will be
several years, therefore, before they will
come into the market, even if the find
should prove to be rich. So, you see, st.
Louis at present has the cinch on the
onyx supply OF the world, and is likely
to retain this supremacy for years. The
Ozark Onyx Company has just estab
lished plant in st. Louis for dressing
and polishing the ornamental stone. The
plant is valued at $4,000, and it is the
only factory in the United States devoted
exclusively to the polishing of onyx.
The rock is sawed into large slabs, then
it goes through the polishing process,
and the rough edges left by the saving
are ground away. The drilling in the
stone is done with iron augurs having
diamond teeth. Mantels, wainscotings,
table tops, clock cases, panels and pc
destals are the uses to which the stone is
largely applied. Not even the smallest
pieces of stone are thrown away, as they
are used in making small ornaments of
various nds."-Chicago Herald.

The Epoch believes that the Demo-
cratic ticket in New York will have the
full support Of the party. There is now
pereeptible clearing of the political at
mosphere, due to the retiracy of the
shadow Of Hillism and the sharp defini-
ton of the issues. The Epoch believes
that the result of the election, no matter
which way it is determined, will be to
end Mr.. Hill politically. The journal we
quote enjoys deservedly the crstlit of far
seeing, and has generally forecast New
York politics accurately. On the other
hand the Republican press of the State is
sanguine of success, and point, to the su-
peyior capabilities of the party candidate
for Governor and his freedoms from en-
tangling alliances. But neither he nor
Mr.. Flower are noyices in political life
both are generous men, public spirited,
and the estimation in which tn ~ are held
by the people is asttering to their per-
sonal character. Fassett is the more
scholarly and attractive, Flower the man
of greatest administrative expsfience. II
cannot be disguised that the candidates
are so evenly matched that so far as per.
sonality is concerned they artsbefore the

issues to be debated the silvels and tariff

small Fortunes for Flovers.

The most expensive dinner decoration
ever had charge of was on the occasion
of q banquet given to General Cutting,
at Delmonico's. The whole outlay for
flowers alone was 5000. But even this
does not approach the lavish extrava-
gance OF the Roman Emperor Nero,
who gave feast where $i00, 900 was
spent in roses alone.
For a dinner Of twelve people it is an
ordinary thing to spend from $50 to
$500 upon flowers. For banquet 81 900
to 5000 is usually laid out. But these
latter OUTLAWS are seldom made, because
of the infrequency of large dinners.
One hundred and fifty dollars is an ex-
penditure of every day occurrence. In
the large cities like New York it is a
common thing for wealthy people to
spend from 800 to $500 week in flow
ers, exclusively for home use. Where
do they put all these flowers, you ask?
You are wrong il you think there is q
large quantity of flowers. Whenever /
have been asked to decorate house or
furnish flowers for daily use ! have Sc
lected quality rather than quantity.
Among wealthy people, the choicest
flowers for the dinner table are orchids.
These flowers exhibit remarkable vari-
alton; in fact, It's difficult in some species
to find two flowers exactly alike in size
and color. A boutonniere for the gem
tlemen should be made Of "Philanop-
SIS" and about three "Catalyas" tied
with a cluster of narrow ribbons to
match, for the ladies. This is the most
beautiful manner of table decoration, il
well arranged and properly carried out.
But 1t is also the most expensive. &C. F..

why American Women walk.

mo other women in the world can
compare with American women" said q
man who has been living abroad for sew
eral years, Gin walking. The American
woman walks by preference. She seems
to scorn carriage. And how she walksl
Her head is held up. her shoulders are
thrown back and her step is firm and
elastic Is it any wonder that she has q
fine color and that her lips are fresh and
her eye,clear? In other countries women
ride because they do not feel safe when
they are in the street. Here they know
that they have every man at their COM
mand if they need him.
You find women in line after line
thronging the streets where they go to
do their shopping, or in Fifth or Madison
avenue, when they are returning home.
They may not know what blessing
their independence is to them, but their
own beauty and the health and vigor Of
their children in after years are in d
great measure due to this love of walk
ing, Save in England, perhaps, have
seen nothing like it, and in England the
women do not walk as they do here.
They are more deliberate and grave.
The quickness and strength and fire are
missing. They seem more like machines.
They walk for the sake of tradition, ii
seems to an American. but here our
women walk because they like to walk"

Tho Evil Eye.

The Corsicans are not the only people
in the world who believe in the evil eye,
for the Turk is 30 affected by it that he
thinks it extends its Influences to what
ever animals belong to him. Strings Of
coral are sold on the streets and said to
be preventive against the evil. 1t is
very curious to see the donkeys, crowds
of which are found in the streets, with
strings Of coral twisted in their tails.
When he gets in violent rage the
very worst thing that a Turkish gentle
man can threaten his donkey with is the
taking away of the jewels which protect
him from the evil eye, for in this way he
win give him over to all kinds of cruelty
and the possession of the demon. In
the markets bits of coral are laid among
the purple, grapes or green vegetables
with the hope that good luck viii come
to. them and they will bring a higher
price, New York Sun.

have read a tale in which, somewhat
wiclredly, bishop was introduced into
an establishment Of Turkish baths,
whence his episcopal clothes were pur-
Joined by another bather, who left a
plebeian suit Of loud check for his lord
ship. The bishop made great cutlery,
but he could not convince the proprietor
of the baths that he was really the bishop
and not the other man. 1t was heart
rending situation for the bishop, and
eventually he had to retire in the suit Of
plebeian check, much Inundated.
Now if only the bath proprietor had
been q man of talent, he might in a
moment have seen that the bishop was
worthy Of better fortunes than the check
suit implied. He should have asked him
to walk unafectedly once up and down
his largest room. An episcopal walk is
no ordinary one. 1t would have declared
him at once.--All the Year Round.

Tho oldest Irarnilv-

In matter of antiquity Mohammed
must yield precedencet to the Chinese phil
osopher, Confucius, who died 40 years
before the Christian era. There is no
known race that can boast of an antiquity
like, his. On the occasion OF the death Of
the Chinese statesman, knownin Europe
and America as the Marquis Tsang, we
learned that his title of nobility was
due, not to any connection with Con-
fucius himself, but to his descent from
one of the four chief disciples of the
great teacher.
There are, however, very numerous
living descendants of Confucius; and al
though he has been dead 1870 years,
superior rank is conceded TO them in
China solely from their relationship to
him. Moreover, when Confucius was
born, $50 b. c., his family was already
among the most ancient Of the empire,
and had recorded history of more than
three centuries. Tradition goes still
further back, extending the probable
duration Of the family to little less than
5000 years. Chicago Times.

In many places where electric rail-
ways are in operation the temperature
falls 30 low in winter as to render the
cars quite uncomfortable. Why not,
under this condition of affairs, devote a
portion of the current used to propel the
cars to heating them as well? The ordi-
nary car stove is open to SO many objec-
tions that its use is practically precluded
from the majority of roads. Electric
heaters, however, can be placed UNDER
meath the seats so that a uniform tenn
perature can be given to the entire car.
Electric heaters have been made and
have met with some adoption. Whether
they would prove too expensive for the
purpose is question yet to be solved.
They certainly, however, offer advan-
tages over any method of Car heating
yet employed. New York Telegram

The custom of tea drinking is as. old
as the Chinese empire, and as early as
780 A. ID. a duty was levied ON the tea
that grew wild on the Chinese mount
aims. But it is within two centuries
that its use was adopted by the English,
when the East Tea company imported ii
and it was sold at $25 pound. Its use
was confined to the royal household. In
the reign of Henry VII refreshment
consisting of tea and cakes was called a
voide.
On the occasion of the marriage dim
ner of Katharineo Of Arragon and Arthur,
prince of Wales, the court chronicler
wrote: "The evening refreshment called
voide was brought in by fourscore earls,
barons and knights, walking two and
two. Ipocras and comfits were offered.
One noble seryitor presented the golden
spice plate, second the cups, while q
third Of lower rank filed the cups from
q golden ever"
Since then what Washington Irving
calls the "motherly teapot has become
