In many homes thore are good COOKS who
can be intrusted to making the salad, the
sandwiches, ana even the pate which
necessarily saves expense. A few lowers
will brighten things up considerably and
only the music becomes an item of expense.
But then entertaining is largely a matter of
experience and the wise housekeeper profits
by tho lessons OF the past. Still, as a rule,
it is quite safe TO say that every reception,
afternoon or evening, costs from 500 to 500
rs the host and hostess may elect.

Census Superintendent Porter says
'The gross value of our manufactured
products during 1890 would probably be
SIS, 900, ,000, 900, an increase of about $3.-
300,000,000. The capital invested will
probably reach $4,000, ,000,0 900, and the
increase during this decade exceeds the
total capital invested in 1870. The
wages paid will be close upon 81, ,5OO.-
000,000y in addition to $5O0,000,0 600, or
S50,000,000 annually. The number of
hands employed will be about 8 800, 900,
an addition to our army of wage-workels
of 100000 during the decade. The min
ing products have almost doubled this
decade, and the lumber interests have
also increased enormously, and the pro-
duct for 1890 will not fall far short of
100000, 900, which exceeds by over 100
per cent the total product returned by
the tenth census"

STRANGE FREAK.
A Georgia Woman Who Has Ears
Like a Cat.

"A GCOtKla WOfuau Wuo IAaS Ear ;
Like a Cat.
The little town of Moultrie possesses
a natural curiosity in the form of a
woman who has the ears of cat. She
is the wife of well-to-do merchant,
and exceedingly sensitive on the sub
ject OF her peculiarity, which she very
successfully conceals by an arrangement
of her hair. Her ears are somewhat
longer than a house cats, but of the
same shape, and are covered with a
fine. fuzzy hair, very much like an ami
mails fur. They lie close to her bead,
except when she is excited, when they
protrude and work back and forth. She
claims that her hearing is not keener
for her possessing such a popularity,
though her relatives and friends assert
that this sense is abnormally developed
in her, and that in disposition she is
distinctly feline.
Physicians who have examined her
declare that this deformity extends only
to the outer shape of the ear, and that
the internal organ is the same as any
other human feature. With the excep-
ton of this strange feature, the lady is
very handsome and even intellectual,
we'll educated and very refined in ap-
pearance. She attributed her singular
deformity to fright received before her
birth by her mother, who was attacked
and severely bitten about the face by a
pet cat that had gone mad Moultrie

were safely and comfortably carried to
their destination.
The six appraisers of the Itata and
her cargo of arms, accompanied by Hon.
S. M. White, Judge Alex A. Campbell,
District Attorney Willoughby Cole and
George ]. Denis, went down to San
Diego yesterday. A report on the valu-
alton of the steamer will probably be
made today, when Judge Ross will fix
the bonds asked for.
In noting the arrest of N. Philbrooks,
the Times yesterday committed a great
injustice against the proprietors of the
Gable grocery. 1t said that Philbrooks
is the son of the lady who keeps that
popular store, and was arrested for as
saulting his mother with chair. Phil
brooks mother keeps the, Corfu, and
has nothing to do with the Gable gro

of good repute, and the last men in the
world to be suspected of ill-treating
their mothers or any one else.

A Patent Horseshoe.

A patent covers a horseshoe which pos
sesses many advantages. On its under
surface is stamped pattern which gives
a number of points for the securing of a
better grip on the pavement, and this,
where wooden pavements are used, is an
important consideration. The shoe is
about half the weight Of an ordinary
shoe, being two and half pounds the set
of four; it takes less time and less money
to fix, has only four nails, as against the
usual seven. Being three-quarter shoe,
it leaves the frogs and heels on the ground
which prevents conclusion to the foot
and leg, contraction and corns.
The only preparation the hoof requires
after the old shoe is taken off is that the
rasp must be used on the toe and quar-
tiers, making reduction Of about one
eighth of an inch on the lower side of the
hoof. The frog and heels and back part
of the foot should not be touched. This
shoe is made in accordance with the well
established principle that the more the
hinder part of the foot-which is very
tough-is used, the harder and healthier
it becomes.-New York Telegram.

When He Served the Queen.

l served the queen for several years,
and ! look back on the experience with
neither horror nor shame. During the
twenty-five years that have passed since
then the amelioration in the condition OF
the soldier has been incalculable. But ]
should be untrue to their memory if
did not lift up my testimony that the
men of the old days endured their more
arduous lot with grand primitive resig-
nation.
They knew that the quartermaster and
the butcher were in collision in regard
to the meat ration, that the troop SER
geant major cooked their accounts, and
that the pay corporal had glutinous In
gers. Their captain habitually addressed
them as brutes; the surgeon left his du-
ties for days to go hunting. There was
no quick escape for them from those
abuses, for some of them were 'lifers, v
and all were long service men.
But there were no professional agita-
tors in those days, nor any barrack room
lawyers "who knew their rights" there
was not great deal of that commodity
of little of which the poet speaks as
"a dangerous thing" and there were no
halfpenny newspapers. The discipline
was rigid, how rigid no younger Of to-
day can have any idea; but insubordina-
ton was undreamed of. - Archibald
Forbes in Fortnightly Review.

Policeman and Model.

flowing blond mustache, who turns an
occasional dollar as an artists model.
Having posed during his watch on deck
for the benefit of the common people in
the flesh, he is transferred to imperisha-
BILE canvas to gladden. the artistic eye of
generations yet to come. He has the
trunk and arms of a giant In the opin-
ion Of distinguished artist, this police
man is the best specimen of massive
physical perfection he ever saw. OF
course, the lady artists have all had a
hack at him with pencil and brush, for
which he invariably gets one dollar sit
ting. No wonder he carries the air of a

A Novel Fabric.

A foreign textile journal records the
invention of new kind of Topped fabric
which has a novel and beautiful effect,
with durability never before attained.
The popularity about it is that worsted
is used for the thread forming the figure

the threads forming the ground of the
design. The contrast between the lus-
trous and beautiful threads of the mo-
hair and of the worsted, it is said, forms

The American Agriculturist, in an
article carefully reviewing the crop
shortage of Europe, and the causes
which have led thereto, comes to the
conclusion that the danger of famine
is destined to spare Europe the hor-
rors of war for a year hence. Ac.
cepting, says that paper, the largest
estimates of the products, both at
home and abroad, and even assuming
that the United States and Canada
can export 225 ,Ooo,o 900 bushels, there
is deficit in the worlds food supply
of at least 2Oo,OOO,O0O bushels of
wheat and rye, with possibility of
the shortage being twice as great.
Added to this is the almost total
failure of the potato crop in Ireland,
and a serious curtailment in the yield
of potatoes on the continent. Even
with the utmost economy of distribu.
ton and an ,tnheard of consumption
of American maize, grave distress
is before the masses Of Europe.
Enormous exports of wheat and flour
from the United States in August
proves that Europe regards the situa-
ton as worse than it has been paint
ed. Otherwise, why should she buy
in single month, close upon the
harvest, nearly half as much wheat
as she took from the United States
during the entire first eight months
of the year following one of our
largest wheat crops and period of
bedrock prices ? Indeed, August
wheat exports were almost treble
those of the same month last year,
and over four times as much as the
average exports at this season last
year. For the first time in years
wheat bran and middlings are being
exported to Europe thus early in the
season. These circumstances are
accepted as the strongest possible
reason for believing that prices of
wheat are to-day unnaturally low.
The Agriculturist looks for sharp
advance in all cereals as soon as the
limited extent Of the worlds actual
supply is realized. Every bushel of
high grade wheat, the magazine says,
is to-day worth fully 81 on the farm
where it grew. One of the mo /
marked features of the prosperity
that is already upon American agri-
culture, noted by the same magazine,
is the extent of which farmers are
planning to unite in cooperative buy
ing and selling. The aggregate of
grain and flour shipped out of this
country in August was nearly three
times what it was during the same
month last year. The official state
ment Of the bureau Of statistics is as
follows: Exports of breadstuffs for
August, 1891, s2s,s53,5l0. Exports
Of bread tuffs for August, 1890, $780,
1920. The wheat exported in
August, 1891, reached s22,774,979.
