The Farm Implement News of Chicago
has recently sent out a list of questions
to leading dealers, inquiring as to the
state of trade. From G. Q. Jelliff & Co.
they report: sTrade on all goods we
manufacture and deal in has never been
better. Situated as we are among pro-
gressive farmers, we have large home
demand. Farmers here have been highly
favored with good crops and high prices
and we are safe in saying that more tools
have been bought by them this year than
in any previous year and that this in
creased demand will continue through the
season. 1t requires all our force to be
constantly working to fill our orders.
Our tools are made especially for the cul-
tivation of onions and other small plants
and every article and all improvements
thereon are the inventions of our South
port farmers and market gardeners. ~
c. O. Jellif & Co. are accorded more
space in the reports than any other firm

Hold a mouthful of spirits whiskey
for instance-in your mouth for five min
utes, and you will find it burns severely !;
inspect your mouth, and you will find it
inflamed- Hold it for 10 or ID minutes,
and you will find the various parts of the
interior of your mouth have become bis
tered then tie handkerchief over the
eyes, and taste, for instance, water, vim
ger, milk, or SIENNA, and you will find you
are incapable of distinguishing one from
another. This experiment proves to a
certainty that alcohol is not only vio-
lent irritant, but also narcotic. Can
you believe that the still more tender and
important internal organs of the body
can be less injurionsly affected than the
mouth ?[ DR. Nice ulloch.

Eighteen property owners along the
banks of the Saugatuck river, from
which the water is to be taken, appear
ed before the board of appraisers and
were allowed damages amounting tC
$500. Thomas r. Lees and John D.
Wood, whose factories are located or
the banks of the river, have partially ar
rived at satisfactory agreements with
the water company and no further. OBJ
lection from them is feared. Just where
the water supply is to be obtained has
not yet been decided, but David Platt's
pond in Weston is under consideration
and water will probably be taken from
this source. 1t is the intention of the
water company to run a Pinch pipe
from this pond to Westport villages dis
lance of five miles. Competent engineers
have figured that, at the utmost, this
pipe will draw but 300, 900 gallons of wa
ter day and, as the pond or reservoir
itself is said to have supply of four and
one-half millions daily, the withdrawal
of this 10000 gallons will not material
ly affect it.-[Hour.

an engine and one car. The lower ter

level and the upper one is 14,147. The
distance is nine miles and the steepest
grade is a rise of one foot in four. At

the passengers may sit comfortably in a

Dimensions of Heaven, figured by the
Dunkards from Revelations XXI, Is
Twelve thousand furlongs, which equal
100000 feet. Cube this number, which
makes 400, 793, 0S8, 900, 0O0, 100000 cubic
feet. Half of this we will reserve for the
throne of God and the court of heaven,
and half the remainder for avenues, and
then remains 124, 198, 272, 0OO, 200, 900, 900
cubic feet. Divide this by 4O96, the cubic
feet in room 16 feet square and there
will be 30, 321 1913, $50, OOO, 900 rooms. Sup
pose the world always did and always
will contain 900, 600, 900 inhabitants, and
that generation lasts for 80 Is years,
making in all 1870, 900, 900 every century
and that the world will stand IOO, 900
years, making in all 297 200. 900, 0O0, 900
inhabitants. Then suppose there were
100 worlds equal to this in number of in
habitants and duration of years, making
a total Of 297, 900, oOO, 0OO, 600, 900 persons,
and there would be more than 100 rooms

The dime savings banks, so popular
within the past few months, have created
a great scarcity of 10-cent pieces, which
has been felt all over the country, and
the demand upon the mint has been un-
precedented. Heretofore, the Philadel-
phia mint has coined all the dimes lib cir
culation, but the demand has been so
great that Director Leach has been oblig-
ed to call upon New Orleans for assist
ance. During the month of June, the
Philadelphia mint turned out from $780,

Of the army and navy in one Of those re-

age and manly beauty. He was, in short,

Briton and rejoices in his lack of patriot

LONDON, July lO-Empcror William
was given a dinner today By the lord
mayor Of London. The emperor sat on
the right of the lord mayor and the em-
press on his left. At 2:3O the imperial
party returned to Buckingham palace by
way of the Thames embankmeut. On
the way to the Thames e~mbankment, at
Ludgate Circus, where the rouHher element
of the city was packed in all the numer
Gus thOrourhiares branching into that
much irequented center, there we've some
exciting incidents. This rowdy element
had been getting up steam on beer and
gin for hours and had worked itself into a
frame of mind well adapted to Civ
ing the Prince Of Wales or any
body a warm reception. While waiting
for the heir apparent there were a number
OF lively scrImmages between hoOdlums
and the police, in which the latter
generally managed to come out ahead aud
which ended in one or more r%utfians being
relegated to the rear and thence escorted
to the nearest police stat on. All this had
been the tuning 10 of the mob, as 1t were.
so when the Prince Of Wales'i carriage
appeared it was in condition to do un-
pleasant things. The authorities. it is
understood, received an intimation chat
the roughs were preparing to give him a
distinctly hostile reception. In anv case,
when the carriage containing the Prince
and Prircess Of Wales passed through
Ludgate Circus It was driven at a decidedly
rapid pace, 20 much so that the carriage
had passed the dangerous spot before the
man body of the crowd was
aware that the prince was in their
midst. As it was, however. IN spite OF
the presence of the Princess OF Wales
beside him. the prince was greeted with
repeated Ouibursts of ieeTing and boo
ings. - which we're only slightly set of
by a few FAINT cheers. In the face of
this hostile demonstration the prince was
apparently unmoved. He looked straight
to his front and passed the excited crowd
and made no attempt to reply by a salute
to the weak chceriugs which broke out in
opposition to the ''booings. etc. The
reception accorded to the Prince of
Wales was in strong contrast to the hearty
ringing cheers with which the Duke of
Cnnraught. his bro her. was greeted by
the Ludgate Circus crowd as the duke
passed over the same ground.

Considerable attention has beer di
rected to the tricks of the diamond trade
in Paris by the investigation of the
charge that q firm of diamond dealers
had ''doctored" yellowish diamonds
from the Cape so that they could be sold
as gems of the first water. The illegiti-
mate proceeds of the firm from this prac-
tice are estimated at s., 900, 900. The
Paris professor of chemistry, Berthelot,
has shed this light on the matter:
The painting" of diamonds is a trick
known to all D ealers in diamonds. | am
surprised only to learn hat these men
allowed themselves to be caught so
easily. To give yellowish Cape diamonds
the appearance of white Brazilian or In
dian diamonds a man has only to dip
them in aniline. The process resembles
the blueing of clothes by the washer
woman, and was discovered about ten
years ago.
The operation is so simple that not a
few Paris women practice it. They buy
cheap diamonds and touch them up just
before wearing them out in an aniline
bath. The appearance of the doctored
diamonds deceives at first glance even
the experts. The layer of aniline wears off
quickly, however, and the fraud is hen
quite evident.
Diamond dealers are on the alert
against frauds of this kind, and | doubt
that any house could market 5000, 900
worth of the doctored goods. The diff
ference between Cape diamonds and the
Brazilian or Indian diamonds, which is
the basis of the fraud, consists in the
greater beauty and clearness of the
latter, as well as in their greater durabil-
ity. Yellow diamonds break easily.
