1t is fitting that some tribute shouid
be paid to this man whose tlreless
efforts, se]f-sacrificing devotion, and
over-shadowing ability won for him
friends and made him the contral tig

Ere he had reached the zenith of
his glory, the topmost round in the
ladder of success, that fell destroyer,
Death. claimed him for his own.
Ny address to you, in meeting as

Z. Ellery Anderson.
My DEAR SIR L have this afternoon
received your Tote, inviting me to at
tend, tomorrow evening. the meeting
called for the purpose of voicing the op-
position of the business men of our city
to 1.-The free coinage of silver in the
United States
| shall not be able to attend and ad-
dress the meeting, as you request. but |
am glad that the business interests of
New York are at last to be heard on the
subject.
1t surely cannot be necessary for me
to make formal expression OF nv
agreement with those who believe that
the greatest perils would be initiated t5y
the adoption of the scheme embraced in
the measure now pending in congress
for an unlimited coinage Of silver in our
mints.
If we have developed an unexpected
capacity for the assimilation of the
largely increased volume of currency,
and even if we have demonstrated the
usefulness of such an Increase, these
conditions fall far short of insuring us
against disaster, if in the present situa-
ton we enter upon the dangerous and
reckless experiment of free, unlimited.
and independent silver coinage.
Yours very truly,

photography" it has been said,
is one OF the three great discoveries Of
the age-the steam engine, the electric
telegraph and photography. No five
centuries in human progress can show
such strides as these" And photo
graphy, let us remember, is the young
est OF the three.
The pursuit OF photography gives
exercise to the body, while it Sdiverts
the mind and delights with even a
higher Joy the sense for all things
beautiful. The amateur photograph
er is shown things by the camera
which he never dreamed OF before, and
is led by it to the secret haunts OF
nature. OF whose existence even he
was previously ignorant. Truly it is
a fascinating art and one that benefits
in the most vital and lasting WAYS,
while it,gives pleasure to the devotee.
And wonderful have been the
achievements accomplished in less
than fifty years, for the daguerreotvpe
the method which underlies our
modern process-was not made public
until 1889. Dry-plate photography is
about ten years old, and most OF the
process i'll this. delightful art science
has, therefore, been accomplished
within the past decade. The dry
plate made possible instantaneous
photography and all the later adj
vances, and simplifed the process to
such degree that any bril- ht boy,or.
girl OF ten can easily master it in a
few days. For the older ones it is a
refining Accomplishment that is easily
acquired, and affords no end OF
amusement and benefit.
A complete Photographic outfit,
according to Outing, can be purchased
from any reliable dealer for from $40
to 500, and the necessary instruc-
ton can be obtained in one lesson
when the purchaser obtains his equip
ment,' 1t is, then, merely a question:
OF practice and taste. In a short
time all the remarkable achievements
OF photography are as easy for the
new amateur as they were for Tho,
experienced workers who first made
them possible. The latest conner has
the benefit of all that has been ac-
compllshed before, as we'll as an
infinite field for progress. What
science, art or recreation offers so
much to the amateur?

Wrought by Pressure.

The enormous depth OF the great
Comstocll mines in Nevada and the ci-
gantic. and incomprehensible weight OF
the mass OF. stones and earth resting
upon the timbers (Which actually
hold up the mountains that have lit
orally been honeycombed by the min
ers), have wrought wonders which
puzzle the deepest thinkers, SAYS the
st. Louis Republican. For instance,
queer polished sticks, as smooth as
dressed mahogany and not any thick
er than your wrist, are often taken
out OF deserted portions OF the mines.
They are as hard and as heavy as
iron, and a knife OF the best material
will not make a scratch on them.
DO you have any idea what they are?
Drll cores, you think, but they are not.
Originally they were solid oak timbers
l2xl2 inches square. But why are
they no thicker than O. walking stick
upon removal after having seen years
OF service? The weight of the noun
tain bearing upon them from all direc-
lions, perpendicularly as well as late
rally (for it is only in this way that
mines OF enormous depth can be safely
timbered) has wrought the wonders
seen in the polished stick. Sometimes
these transformed timbers are found
in small sections, sometimes in long
pieces, and are taken out where cave.
ms have occurred and displaced the
workings. It is a well-known fact that
paper can be compressed until it will

Electricity In Agriculture,

Following the experiments of Fecht-
ner in applying electricity to vegeta-
ton, Russian agriculturist, M.
Specimen, is reported to have made a.
trial OF seeds which he electrified Tor
two minutes by means OF current,
repeating the operation ten times up-
on peas, beans, rye, etc. He found
that generally the liberalization of the
seeds nearly doubled the rapidly of
their growth. He then tried to cleo
trilize the earth. He took two large
plates OF zinc and copper, 72 cent?
meters (28 inches) high and As cent?
meters 18inches) wide, which he sank
deep into the ground at the extremity
OF flat iron bars and connected above
the ground by an iron wire. The ef-
feet OF the continuous current is stated
to have been prodigious upon vege-
tables. A raddish grew A centinleters
(l7'3 inches) in length, with a diane
ter OF IA centlmeters (515 inches), and
a carrot ~ centlmeters (1O-6 inches)
in diameter weighed three Kilograms
(six and six-tenths pounds), nor did
this excess in size detract from their
good quality.

20 Wash FIannslS,

Have your tubs half full of luke
warm water. Dissolve half pound
OF boraX in each, then make a lather
OF good borax soap. Put in the fan
nels and rub them gently through the
first suds, drop them into the next a
few at q time and squeeze and lave
them plentifully. Rinse through two
waters, and see to it that they are
just the temperature of the suds.
Never let either soap, hot or cold
water touch, as soap yellows, hot
water shrinks, cold water makes harsh.
A change from hot to cold or vice
versa is the worst thing of all. Next
to that comes wringing. Hang them
to drain, and if possible where a brisk
wind will strike them. Never iron
them until bone dry. It is better not
to do it at all.
Ii you choose hot, breezy day for
it and follow these directions you NAV
wash blankets, yet have them as soft
ly white and woolly as the day they
came out Of the shop.
The Nineteenth Century Woman.
There is an old belief of the mascu-
line Anglo-Saxon mind that a woman,
to be lovable, should have no marked
individuality. But with this worlds
rapid advance through the Victorian
age, woman has become more than
ever perplexing to the male atom who
poises himself for a moment to make
a study of her. She no longer needs
mans apparel to practise a profession
or to Journey forth on foot under the
green leaves Of Arden She has grown
self-reliant and cosmopolitan, equally
at home in the White House or on the
banks OF the Neva. She never plucks
daisies and buttercups nowadays, to
test her lovers affection by pulling
apart their petals. You find her, in.
stead, arranging orchids in glass, and
making cynical reflections upon the
worthlessness Of the entire race. In
dividual love or hatein the opposite
sex is apparently all one to her
