A substitute for Gum Arabic.

Gum arabic. which was once universally
used, has become very scarce and dear, and
a substitute for il is being made from starch,
which is subjected under pressure and at q
high temperature to the action of sulphurous
acid. The product, after naturalization, is
soluble and extremely adhesive.

Vine Culture in America.

Some recent statistics show that very
rapid increase is being made in vine cul-
ture in this country. There are now under
vine culture in America 100000 acres, Of
which about 100000 are bearing. The
estimated value. of the vineyards and wine
cellars is $155, 700, 900. In California there
are 150. .OO0, 900 acres under vine culture,
and large proportion OF the grapes pro-
duced are made into wine. Most of the
grapes grown in New York State are sold
for food. The total production of wine in
the United States during the past year is
about 40, 900, 900 gallons.

,Paner HorseShoes.

1t seems not unlikely that change is
imminent in the method of shoeing horses
for military work. The German papers are
devotinga great deal of attention to the dis
cusson which is now going on in the
military world as to the advisability Of
substituting compressed paper for iron in
horseshoes for the German cavalry and
artillery. After many experiments under
all manner Of conditions it has been found
that the shoe which appears to be most
worthy of adoption is made up of sheets of
parchment paper cemented together with a
special cement composed of turpentine,
Spanish white lac and boiled linseed oil.
The separate pieces are stamped out,
cemented ami pressed together in hydraulic
press. When dry the pshoe thus formed is
rasped into the exact form and size re-
quired.

Tom Connors and Evan Lewis.

troVersy peen gong on during the last week or
SO between Tom Connors and Evan Lewis the
wrestlers. Jack Carkeek's name ought also to
be added. 1t seems that the claim of Lewis to
the title of champion is what has caused the
talk and exchange of opinions. Certainly am
not going to contend that Connors is the cham
pion catch-as-catch-can wrestler of America but
in proportion TO his weight he is vastly superior
to Lewis as a wrestler. If Connors had the
strength of Lewis the latter would mot be in
it" with Connors. Probably smarter little
wrestler than Connors never stepped on to a
carpet. say this In fairness to Conpors' abill-
ties, but there would not be anything fair in
asking Connors to wrestle a man like Lewis on
even terms; we might as well request Dempsey
to tight Sullivan But fail to see how Lewis
has any claim to championship honors. Where
is Carkeek? Tom Connors defeated Lewis and
Carkeek defeated Connors. In addition to this
Carkeek I'm certain is ready at any time to
tackle Lewis, and If the latter is a champion he
ought not to hesitate one moment. l will say
more Carkeek is a big powerful man and Con-
nors is a little man. Lewis does all his talking
to Connors. There is something very
of Carkeek as wrestler, because of his intel
ligence and strength and suspect that Lewis
has similar opinion. At any rate. he ought to
blush considerably when he talks so strongly
to man SO much less than himself. trust
he will pay more attention to Jack Carkeek in
future.
The Challenge of L. e. Myers.
Probably the most important feature of the
week, as far as pedestrianism is concerned is
the challenge of L. E. Myers to Darrin. the
English pedestrian. now in this country. Myers
offers to run Darrin one of the following three
races: A quarter, half or threequarters of
mile for a stake of $1,000 side, the winner to
take the entire gate receipts. Myers adds TO
his challenge the announcement that If he runs
DarrIn it will be his last race. Darrin, think,
is the same young gentleman who, as Harry
Smith, wanted to run any Pittsburger, about
two years ago. Since then he has been In
England, and won a few races, defeating
among others, Farrell, the American. People
who ought to know. state that Darrin's best
race Is half mile, and he can run that
distance exceedingly well. will not, therefore,
be surprised il DarrIn offers to run Myers that
distance. But why should Myers fly SO high as

days ago, when one of his wives
living in Grccnville wrote to some

was here, saying that she was his
wife and if he was married to have
him arrested. Upon investigation
it was found that he had been we'd

The Steam

Again we commend the steam laundry
to tho patronage of our people. without
work the laundry cannot pay expenses,
much less make money. Every young
man might well afford to send his linen
shirts, collars, and cuffs, if not the resi-
due of his wear. Tho management is
doing everything in its power; they
mns havo the help of the stock holders
and the people, or else give it up as a
bad job. Indeed, it does cost IL little
more to have washing done at tho laun-
dr. than by colored but tho
work of .he laundry is so far superior
that there is nc comparison, A iaun-
d,ied shirt bought new ,''Hsts at least a

beautifully at tho laundry FOR loss than
