Half an Acre ID Rloom.

1t must take nearly half an acre Of
glass to cover the flowers Of the white
house conservatory. 1t keeps two men
busy all the time to take care of it, and
the finest of all kinds of flowers, from
orchids to roses, are in bloom there.
There are broad India rubber plants
which are worth from fifty to one hun

flowers which are absolutely worth
their weight in gold. On the night of a
white house dinner or reception the
whole mansion is decorated with
flowers, and at one state dinner not
long ago there was a floral piece on the
table which used eight thousand
flowers in its making. At dinner to
the supreme court two thousand
flowers were used to make temple Of

that she spends as much time in steam

Europe were indolent, spent freely the
capital which their husbands found

never quarreled with her for high

INTERESTING OPERATIONS.
Feats of Surgery That Amount Almost to
Miracles.


Miracles.
OF the many results of the rapid
strides which science has made is the
remarkable skill which medical men
have brought to bear upon difficult and
dangerous surgical operations. 1t was
not many years ago when it was
thought improper to attempt opera
tions upon the human body, but the
steady onward march Of human prog
ress has given surgeons such knowl-
edge of the human anatomy that they
are now enabled to perform feats
which formerly would have been credi-
ted to witchcraft and the black art,
says the New York Herald.
At the annual meeting of the Welsh
branch of the British Medical associa-
ton DIR. Damar Harrison gave an ac-
count of an operation he had performed
upon boy, which he claimed to be
unique.
The boy had the misfortune to cut
his wrist with plate-glass, which
caused him to lose all sense of feeling
in the hand and was followed by com
plete paralysis. The lads wrist was
laid open and it was found that por-
ton of the nerve about two inches in
length was entirely destroyed A
young cat was obtained and chloro-
formed and Immediately after death the
surgeon cut nerve out of the hind leg
The nerve was then wrapped in a cloth
soaked in warm carbolic lotion and af-
terward connected with what remained
Of the boys nerve The result was
most gratifying Sensation returned
and the boy was cured.
An equally interesting and success
full operation was performed upon a
boy who had swallowed hsh-hoolS.
He tried to release it by pulling upon
the line, but it had become firmly at
tached in the lower and back part of
the throat A medical man was called
in and he procured pistol bullet and
bored hole through it. 1t was then
allowed to slide down over the line to
the hook. The weight of the bullet
disloged the hook, which, sticking in
the lead and being protected by it, was
safely removed.

The vegetarian rad.

The latest London fad is the vege-
tartan dinner, where people eat all
sorts of limitations of fish, flesh and
fowl, with nothing genuine about
them. The Britons have suddenly taken
to the notion that they eat too much
meat, and propose TO try something
different When it is remembered that
the menu of Nebuchadnezzar was the
best quality of meadow grass for seven
years, it win be conceded that with
some little variety vegetarian cannot
only live like king, but a good deal
better. Should the present habit OF
vegetarianism become settled over
there it win have a tendency to make a
better market for high-grade baled hay,
for the use OF the stall-fed nobility Of
the mother country.

A. q ward Politician.

In short, if ne ever had any superior in

vain effort to get back to the White House
No ward politician has ever gone farther
to placate the abhorrent and dangerous

that he has no use for them. They have

Magic ETect of the Tarif.


Since the passage of the Mckinley bill
there has been virtual abandonment of
importations of these goods. The manu-
facture of them has been entirely absorbed
by American companies, who employ be-
tween five and six thousand operatives.
The factories have increased from com
paratively few to about fifteen. The wages
are double those paid in Scotland, and
treble those that are paid in Germany and
Austria The amount of money earned
earned depends entirely upon the skill of
the workmen. They are paid by the piece
and earn everywhere from S19 to S25 a
week. This class embraces both men and
women. In other departments the women
and girls earn from S4 to $40 week. This
industry is almost entirely confined here tc
the city of Philadelphia, although new
factory has recently started in Westchestel
county, New York.
The popularity of these goods has in.
creased the demand. There are more goods
sold now in one week than there were two
years ago in six months The factories are
running on full time. 1t is estimated that
the volume of trade IN this industry, which
has been practically snatched from foreign
manufacturers, will reach $1,000 900 this
year.
Duty Increased and Price Reduced.
The duty, increased from 40 to 60 per
cent, was an inducement for other Amer
lean manufacturers to start in the busi.
ness, and the prices, instead of increasing
with the duty, have actually fallen 40 per
cent, or nearly one-half what they were
before the Mckinley bill went into effect
II calamity howlers can show that the
taxpayers burden has been increased in
regard to the buying of these popular
articles, they must be possessed of won
derful reasoning powers 1t does not re
quire massive intellect to grasp the
facts, and to draw the inference that the
Mckinley bill has given to this country an
entire industry, Before that bill was passed
at least one-half of the curtains and all OF
the table covers made from chenille cotton
were imported. The popularity of the
goods has increased the demand nearly
five times. This demand may not be di
rectly due to the Mckinley bill, but the
production would have been shared by
foreign manufacturers, who depended en-
tirely on the American trade, if the duties
had not been raised. That bill has keDi
iQ this country probably SO, 600, 600, and ha,
given employment TO three or four thous
and operatives, in addition TO those al
ready employed here. It has lowered tn,
price of the goods, and has given to Amer
lean manufacturers full control of Tia,
home market.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. ..
This great manufacturing center is teem-
ing with object lessons in the practical
operation and substantial benefits of the
Mckinley tariff There is no more strilS-
ing exhibit than the rapid development
of the cotton chenille industry. Since the
enactment of the Mckinley law the foster.
ing Of this particular field of manufactur-
ing has kept millions of dollars from the
pockets of foreign producers, given steady
and lucrative employment to thousands of
Americans, men and women, and resulted
in great reduction in the price to con.
sumers of the goods manufactured
Pennsylvania interests have reaped the
most benefit from the innovation
Cotton chenille is the most popular fab.
ric now used for decorative purposes in al
most every American household. The pro
cess of weaving has attained to such per.
and other kinds may be easily reproduced.
But unlike these medieval tapestries,
which have been made almost priceless by
age, the chenille fabrics can be sold at very
low prices. They are made entirely from
cotton, but when completed they have a
soft and silky finish, which, in measure,
disguises the true texture of the goods
Chenille is at present used for curtains and
table covers. Innumerable designs are
made every year.
Originally a Foreign Industry.
The making of chenille curtains and
table covers isan outgrowth of the chenille
shawl industry, which flourished in Ger
many, France and Austria for over a cen,
tury. Besides the factories in Chemnitz
Elberfeldt and Vienna, there were a mum.
ber in and around Glasgow. For a mum
Der of years chenille cord was also made
and used for dress trimmings The cur
tains and table cover branches did not get
their first start until about 1873, but the
demand for fabrics of these kinds rapidly
grew. The manufacture of these goods
however, was confined for six or seven
years to the other side of the Atlantic, al
though the market for them was in this
country. The foreign manufacturers found
no sale for them in Europe
About ten years ago one or two Ameri
can manufacturers started in to compete
for the home market. Under a duty of A
per cent they made some Roadway, but il
was only in the lower and cheaper grade!
chat they succeeded. In 1890 the foreign
manufacturers still maintained a monop
oily of the higher grades of chenille cur
tains and table covers. The American
manufacturers could not compete on ac
count of the low wages paid by foreign
! rivals. In Vienna, where nearly all the
table covers were made, the wages wert
very small. The importations in 1890 o
curtains and table covers amounted tC
more than a million dollars.
