CoLUMBIAN EXHIBIT.

The Legislature of the State of
Texas has refused to make an ap-
preparation in aid of the Columbian
Exhibition, and, unless immediate
steps are taken, our great State will
have no way of showing to the
world its greatness and vast unde-
veloped resources. With view to
overcoming the difficulty, the Cham
Der of Commerce of Fort Worth
asks that the various cities of the
State, the Chambers of Commerce,
and Boards of Trade, commercial or
CARNATIONS, progressive associations
and county immigration societies
send delegates to Convention, to
be held at Fort Worth, on May u
at u m. to discuss plans, and, if
possible, organize for the purpose
of having the State efficiently repre-
sented at the COLUMBIAN EXPOSE
ton.
1t, is, therefore, requested that
each commercial organization ap-
point two delegates for every ten
members; each immigration and pro-
gressive association two delegates
for every twenty members; each city
and county two delegates for every
1000 inhabitants. One-half of each
delegation to be composed of ladies'.
Send the names of the delegates to

A YOUNG man who is trying to run
farm in the same way that his ia
ther and grandfather and great
grandfather did, had better sell out
or try some new methods, unless he
wants to make failure of it. The
old-time methods are past and gone,
and cannot be made successful at
the present day. Men in all profess
sions and branches Of industries are
tending toward specialties, and if
farmers want to keep up they must
do the same. Some farms are adap
ted to stock-raising, others to grain,
and still others to fruit. Let every
one pick out that branch which he
likes best, and to which his farm is
adapted, and then concentrate his
thoughts and energies on that and
make success of it.

ing this time any one convicted of
shooting this game will incur the
penalty of fine of not less than $40

FERROID.

A new artificial stone, which can
be melted and cast in moulds, is
said to be compound, partly chem.
ical and partly mechanical of iron,
sulphur and silicon, with more or
less foreign matter. Its normal
color is a dark slate, which can be
modified by pigments. The materi-
al has the hardness of bluestone,
and can be worked by the usual
stone cutting tools, turned in a
lathe, or planned. The tensile
strength is from $50 to 1900 pounds
per square inch, and compression of
5000 to 10000 pounds is withstood.
The specific gravity is about 2.6; the
melting point, about 300 degrees
Fair. The new stone is described
under the name "Ferroid."

Just as has been predicted all along
the Pacific Mail Steamship Company
will gobble up the greater part of the
money paid out under the Postal-sub-
sidy act Of the last Congress. Mr..
Wanamaker has signed eight con
tracts for carrying the mails under
that law, and the Pacific Mail Com
pany gets three Of the best of them,
being for ten years each and to begin
January I, 1892, while the others will
begin at different dates between March
I, 1892 and December, 1894. 1t
seems to make all the difference in the
world when you call plain, everyday
subsidy grab of Government money
''expediting our ocean mails" One
of the greatest national legislative
scandals ever brought to light in this
country was the exposure of the meth
ods used to pass the Pacific Mail Sub
sidy bill through Congress few years
ago, an exposure that drove a number
of prominent republicans from public
life. Now the same thing has been
accomplished, and if anyone dares to
protest he is charged with being lnsti-
gated by political prejudice, and with
trying to prevent the extension of our
foreign commerce. Odd isn't it?

revival of the trouble between Wana.

1t is mistake to consider Catarrh merely a
