NC KinIey's Wool Thrift.

A special dispatch to the New York
Evening Post from Cleveland, dated
Aug. 3, declares that: The low price of
wool and the scarcity of buyers is doing
much to convince Ohio farmers of the
fallacy of McKinley's protectionist argu-
ments. On Saturday, at Millersburg. a
load of wool stood on the street all day
and not a bid was offered for it. The
farmer owner was compelled to find Il
place to store it and wait for buyer at
any price"
But this is just the effect it was claim
ed the Mckinley tariff would have.
Thomas Dolan, the president of the
High Tariff Manufacturers club of Phil
adelphia, and the man who, next to
Judge Lawrence, of Ohio, had the most
to do with the making of the wool
schedule in the Mckinley tariff, has
just written a letter to the New York
World, in which he says: 1T is an in
teresting fact, deserving much emphasis
of statement, that the prices of wool are
lower now than they were one year ago.
This decline was distinctly promised by
protectionis-s during the discussion
which accompanied their framing of the
Mckinley tariff"

peeled rind of a large orange for an hour or
two. Beat one-quarter pound of fresh but

Two Good Dishes.

A very pretty rechauffe, or warmed up

was heated into the center, after it has
been thickened with little butter and

juice and little finely chopped parsley

with a couple of spoonfuls of cream or new
milk, butter some small plain molds, line
them thinly with the mashed potato and

AT the rate of increase in speed across
the Atlantic in the last 80 years, since
the old Africa made the run in little more
than 10 days, the next 80 years should
show capability of crossing the ocean
in about four days and twelve hours. If
the Norwood can make 30 miles an hour,
and the Mary Powell and the Mon mouth
can steam at 25 miles an hour, why is it
not likely that steamship engines may be
constructed to force ship across the At
lsntic at the rate of 25 miles an hour
The Teutonic did little better than &c
miles an hour. At % miles an hour she
would have run her ATS miles in TO VI
days and Is hours.

Protecting Silver from furnishing.

1t is worth while knowing that silver
articles put away for a time can be pro-
tected from furnishing. According to The
Decorator and Furnisher this can be done
by applying to them, with a soft brush,
collodion mixed with alcohol. If silver
plate is already furnished, its full bril-
lance may be restored by washing it in
liquid potassia, next rinsing it in warm
water and then immersing it in liquid
composed of one part of alum, one part
of common salt and two parts of salt
peter in three parts of water. The place
has now to be washed in luke warm
water, then wiped with channels leather
and finally packed in sawdust to dry.

Rejoicing in Foreign Trade.

A very amusing paradox is that pre-
sented by the Mckinley organs, which
are just now gloating over the fact that
our imports have increased under the
new tariff law. Larger foreign COM
merce was certainly not the avowed aim
of our high protectionist brethren. But,
if it pleases them, no advocate of freer
trade with foreign countries ought to OBJ
ject. Give the Mckinley logicians rope
enough and they will inevitably hang
themselves. Boston Globe.

A Michigan business man advertises by
sending dollar note up il paper bsl>
loon every evening, the money becoming
the property of the finder. This style of
advertising may do for Michigan, where
outside of its large cities the newspapers
have very limited circulation. But it
would be too slow for Illinois where the
business men have the opportunity of
sending their dollars round TO the news
papers counting room and avsiling them
selves of their circulation to place their
advertisements before the people.

Novelties in Potpourri Jars and Scents,
Menus, Painted China, Etc.
Quaint and old fashioned are potpourri
jars with perforated lids for perfuuing
drawing rooms and boudoirs. A delicious
potpourri is that with the odor of the wild
rose, delicate and subtle. A favorite scent
is white lilac, and this is most refreshing
when sprayed from vaporizer.
Among the daintiest OF boudoir writing
table ornaments are the miniature Dresden
china lamps.
In fashionable bijouterie is the large
Empire bow, which has stamped itself on
lace and fabrics of all kinds this season. 1t
may be large and it may be small, but it is
one of the last introductions.
In menus there are some pretty new
ones, intended for flower suppers and din
ners. A single rose, the stalk apparently
passed through slit in the card exuuis-
itely tinted; few pansies, tied together
with the Empire bow; smaller flowers scat
tered over tinted surface are among the
designs. There are sets of three floral de-
signs, such as daisies. violets and prim-
roses thrown along the top and cut out.
Some soUffie cases are set into little
stands of crossed straws, tied together at
the corners with colored ribbon. The rib
bon must match the color of the lamp and
candle shades.
Chamber sets of painted china in Louis
XIV styles have the garlands and festoons
in silver. These are applied around the
Vatican groups, which are arranged in
panels.
Silver receptacles for letter paper look
something like oblong toast racks.
Candlesticks of perforated silver have
heart shaped vases and lips between straight
cylindrical sticks.

The Earth TrembIed.

Three almost continuous vibrations OF
an earthquake, oscillating from east to
west, were felt one night recently In
parts of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Mis-
souri,, and Kentucky. At St Louis tho
shock was quite severe, and buildings
were shaken violently People were
aroused by the disturbance and rushed
in terror, half-clad, to the street 1t is
said by many that the shock felt there
was similar TO that experienced ON the
night OF the memorable Charleston dis
aster. The shock lasted two minutes.
Considerable crockery and glassware
was demolished, and some wooden sta
bles on the outskirts Of the city toppled
ever Buildings facing the north and
south were visibly affected by the shock.
dlanapolis, and while reports as to its
duration differ the best information says
1t lasted at least eight seconds.
Louisville, KY, lad a good shaking,
and, although no serious damage was
done, 1t caused considerable excitement
all over the city. The bell in the City
Hall tower was rung by the vibrations
OF the building, and the watchman In
the tower thought his last hour had
come. At the Gait House and other
hotels the bells were rung, water pitch
ers were overturned In the upper stories,
and guests came hurrying downstairs
In panic, II requiring much persuasion
to induce the more timid to return to
their quarters. Several drug stores suf-
fered slight loss from broken bottles
and prematurely mixed drugs.
In the residence part of the city the
shock caused much alarm, the people
rushing into the street, and when the
shock subsided formed long ranks Of ex-
cited groups anxiously discussing the
probabilities of recurrence of the
quake. No casualties occurred any
where in the city, and no damage OF con-
sequence was suffered by buildings. The
vibrations were from east to west, and
lasted only few seconds.
Three separate shocks were plainly
felt at Keokuk, Iowa. They followed
closely upon each other. and the vibra-
tion lasted fully one minute in each case.
The direction appeared to be from
southeast to northwest, and suspended
electric lights swayed sharply. No dam
age was done. The shock appears to
have been general throughout South
eastern Iowa
AT Evansville, Ind, one prolonged
shock was felt. No damage was done,
but general fright ensued.
