The Commercial Bulletin of New
York, one of the journals that harped
on Mckinley prices year and half
ago, now says: Except for the varia-
tions in food products and in cotton,
the prices of the most important COM
modities in this country have varied
comparatively little during the past
year, though most of the changes that
have occurred have been toward a
lower level.n

feet high, and is native from West

the crab are natural to the Middle
states, but our valuable kinds do not
spring from these.

Under the coinage act of 1873 our
gold coins are 900 fine-that is, 800
parts in 1000 are pure gold and 100
parts alloy. Such gold is called "fine,u
and the 81 piece weighs 25.S grains; the
$50 piece, 64.5 grains; the SO piece, II 4
grains; the s. piece, l29 grains the so
piece, 25S grains; the $50 piece, 516
grains. As the Troy ounce contains
4SO grains, an ounce of "fine" gold is
worth fraction over S1S.S3. There is
no profit to the owner of gold bullion
in having it coined. The coin value is
the commercial value. If silver were
the same free coinage would have no
opponents in the United States.

HISTORY OF THE APPLE
Different Varieties Come From All over

NOllu IT IoIu ali over
the Old World
In Fruits and Flowers, an Oregon
magazine, f. II. Skinner has an inter
esting essay on the apple. He saws:
Very little of the early history of the
apple is known; at the present time even
the origin is unknown. Mention being
made of it in the Bible, it is supposed
TO be a native Of Palestine. but in
Canaan and surrounding countries IL
worthless as fruit at the present day.
Egypt and Palestine import their ap-
piles rom Damascus. Pliny speaks of
the crab as "wilding,n having had
many foul curse given il on account
OF its sourness. 1t is therefore supposed
that the apple of Scripture times must
have been fruit different from ours. as
II Is spoken of in connection with
other choice fruits, and must have pos
sessed good qualities of itself. The
parent of all our apples is probably the
wild crab of Europe. There can be but
little doubt that all our good varieties
had their origin in the apples of the
mother country; Mt least our first

matter Of temporary expediency, as
some seem to regard it. The 'blowine

sure permanent prosperity by any
means. II is not denied that we need
roads, and need them badly. On that
point there j. no room for argument.
The matter is Of such great importance
that the people should refuse to support
any proposition in the nature Of blind
pool and which might defeat the very
ends they so earnestly seek to attain.

The Prizes of Literary Work

When not long ago statement wa:
made in The Author that there were
fifty men and women in Great Britain
and the states who were making CT ,00t
year and upward by writing novels
the statement was received with derisive
laughter. Fifty novelists making 81 600
year? Impossible! Preposterous The
statement, however, was made by one
who knew what he was saying. 1t is g
true statement; it represents the real
prizes of the profession.
There are in London alone, it is said
$4,000 people who in some branch O,
other exercise the literary profession.
Fifty of them by writing novels make
over 81, 900 q year. The number of men
who actually live by the production of
original work, apart from journalism in
any of it's branches, is comparatively
small. There are half a dozen drama.
fists; about a hundred novelists; few
successful writers of educational books,
which are indeed mine of wealth il
one can succeed, and few publishers
hacks. The greatest prizes are those of
the dramatists. - Walter Besant in Fo-

Discarded India Rubber utilized,

It is matter Of common knowledge
that india rubber goods even of the
highest quality are perishable. Although
not subject to any great wear and tear
the time comes when the rubber loses
its elasticity and becomes soft and rot
ten. Hitherto such persisted rubber has
represented waste material for which
no use could be found, but by process
recently invented the persisted rubber
can be made, it is said, once more serv-
iceable.
By incorporating the waste rubber
with certain hydrocarbons and with a
proportion of Trinidad asphalt, by add
ing to the mixture certain vegetable oils
and submitting the product to heat,
there is produced substance to which
the name of ''blandyte" has been given
1t can be made hard and dense or soft
and pliable by modifying certain parts
of the process, and it seems to be appli-
cable to most Of the various purposes
for which pure rubber is used.-St. Louis

FAST OYSTER OPENERS.

workmen in New York City Who Take
Oysters Out of Their Shells.
The crack oyster openers of New York
can easily hold their own against the
rest of the world Us lightning opera
tors" as they are called.
One Of the veterans is Dick Balmer,
who has opened 5000 oysters in day of
twelve hours, and he can now average
$500 in q day of twelve or thirteen
hours work.
Mike Foley, who may well be termed
d lightning operator, and is now in his
fifties, has opened as many as $500
oysters in one day, and on ordinary days.
if he pushes himself, he can easily get
away with 5000 oysters. Of course the
oysters opened are large and small, just
as they come, as if they We're all small
and round the opening could be done
much more rapidly.
John Lahey is good for an average OF
5000 day, and so is an opener known
among the oystermen as deaf George"
In trial of speed in opening 500 oysters
John Lahey probably cannot<b beaten.
TO open oysters rapidly of course re:
quires a great deal of experience in
handling them, but there also seems to
be a knack about it that every oyster
man cannot acquire. Some men, for in
stance, can only open 4,G00 oysters day
and they will not go much above that
after years of work in this line.
The twenty-seven men employed by
Alex Frazer on the North river will
average 5000 oysters day, which is a
much higher average than is reached by
the majority of the crews around New
York. These meh also can turn out,
when required, 10000 oysters day in
all, which is $4,000 oysters above the
average of 5000 man. There are very
few oyster scows in the market can
equal this average from week to week.
It must also be considered that on some
days work begins at 5 o'clock in the
morning and on others at 6 or 8 o'clock.
There was an oyster opening match
about a year ago between Mike Foley
and Jack Gillon. The match was to de-
eide which man was the quicker at
opening 1000 oysters. Gillon won in
81 minutes, beating his opponent by only
seven oysters. Foley has opened 1920
oysters at one sitting.
Dick Balmer has appeared in sixteen
oyster opening matches and lost only
two Of them. Most of the contests were
over the opening of 100 oysters. At one
time Balmer opened 100 oysters in min.
utes and % seconds, which is now the
best "straight knife" record. Balmer
has also opened 1000 oysters in IS min
utes. The two matches in which he was
defeated he lost to John Gillon. The
first match was best two out of three
records in opening 100 oysters, but owing
to a dispute Bal1ner retired from the
contest. leaving the match to Gillon. AT
the second match Balmaf was beaten by
eight oysters.
Among the lightning operators on Will
liam Fosters scow the most conspicuous
undoubtedly is "Black Frank" as Frank
Barrett, who is as white a man as any
other white man in this country, is
dubbed by his associates. Mr.. Barrett
has spent a good many years in the
south, and from his association there in
a business way with the darkies he came
to be called ''Black Frank. New York

Since the election the newspapers
of the South have been shouting quite
loud. The following from the Daily
Globe of Durham, South Carolina
shows what they think Of pensions tc
Union soldiers and also of Southern
war claims:
"Cleveland, the brave Buffalo boy
who slapped the dirty pension beg
CARS in the face, is to steer the Ship
of State-he is to see to it that the
South which loves him and which
honored him has decent recognition.
"What the South wants-and we
will tell the truth Just now-is to have
the scoundrels who have been pillag-
ing the country and looting the Nat
ional Treasury choked off the public
teat for awhile, and the people here
want pay for what the North burned
and stole during the conflict which
was called a civil war.
"It will take few millions to pay
the honest claims they should
be paid, and they will be paid, and
the part of the brave Jeff Davis and
the party of the honest government
sits in the saddle
The N. Y. World, in the same trait
orous line, attacks the pensioners of
the Union Army. 1t says that "this
carnival of wrong and robbery must
cease" Would it have said so before
election? Oh no. not much.

In fitting IL cloth suit the modes OF
fitting peculiar to the tailor are many

measurements are numerous: the first
fitting is an ordinary cotton lining; the
second one silk lining; the third one
the silk and the material; the fourth one
the almost finished bodice, which usual
ly needs then only few mistakes recti-
fed. and there is the finished bodice for
the head tailor to see in its entirety. No
critic is SO severe as is the master of the
establishment, and slight wrinkle will
cause him to order the taking apart of
the bodice and the making it SO that it
fits like the proverbial glove. The same
care is shown in fitting skirt, and at

skirt, unless 1t were for evening or house
wear, is not even considered. - Mrs.
