PowpERLYs PLEA.

The Master Workman OF the knights OF
Labor Issues au Addres. ON tho Immi-
grafton Question.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. a-General Mas
ter Workman Powderly has issued an
address on the immigration question
which is TO be read in all district assem-
blies Of Knights of Labor, In which he
says that had not the tide OF Chinese
immigration been checked there would
not be n white laborer now at work
west OF the Rocky mountains, while
those east OF that range would be re-
treating before the barbaric hordes
who work for almost nothing. Mr..
Powderly makes strong plea for the
restriction Of immigration 'Nof kind
that is scarcely better than that which
flows from China" and claims I'VE dc
not want the opium or the Chinese who
grow IL; both are curses when planted
where civilization has foothold."
He says: ~ believe that the day has
arrived for those who love humanity to
protest against the further immigration
OF these people. The United States and
Canada should no longer constitute the
safety valve Of Europe. Self-preserva
ton Is the first law of nature, and the
time has come to state fearlessly thai
the immigration Of to-day is a curse tc
those who are here as we'll as to those
who come" In conclusion Mr.. Pow
derly urges all members Of the order K
work for the restriction OF immigration
and the election of United States sena
tors by direct vote.

fancy of the season is "the grand
mothers bag" an ample square bag
which for street use is made of black
MORE silk and sealskin leather. The
lower part of the bag is Of the leather
and the upper part is of the MORE silk,
and it is gathered on black silk cord
and carried over the arm in the familiar
fashion in which Kate Greenaway's
picturesque little girls carry their bags.
This style is more suitable for a work
bag for house use, however, than for a
street bag For house use it is made Of
any quaint old brocade the owner may
possess, in square shape, with cords of
metal or silk. Brocaddd sash ribbons,
ten or twelve inches wide, are often
utilized for this purpose, three-quarters
of yard being amply sufficient for this
purpose. After the bag is sewn up it
should be lined with plain India silk
in any pretty harmonizing color. The
stirring string is run at the top, leaving

one Of the most interesting features
If the Maritime exchange IS its museum.
Situated in remote part Of the floor
Ii is frequently unobServed BY the
strangers who visit the institution, but
those who hare inspected 1t once have
invariably paid 1t second visit An
old sea captain, whose son has sent a
letter around the world for the fun,
originated the museum by presenting
the exchange with the envelope that
surrounded the letter. This envelope Is
almost covered with post Office marks
and stamps and shows that the journey
consumed eighty-nine days For sew
crai years after that this was thought
to be the star exhibit of the museum.
1t is one of the least important now.
One Of the museum exhibits IS big
cane. presented by Abiel Abbott, which
was carved from a plank taken from
Commodore Perry's flagship Lawrence.
Near the cane is a canister shot from
the confederate Savannah, the first pri-
vateer captured during the late war. 1t
was presented by Thomas T. Ball. The
freight contract Of the Great Eastern
hangs near by Pompeii is represented
by a piece of brick from the palace Of
Diorneda, portion Of the walls OF the
ancient barracks, and some lava taken
from the wall of the buried city's chief
theater. A fragment of stone taken
from the ruins of the church at st. Do
mingo in which Columbus was buried is
on exhibition; a check for one cent
drawn on the United States treasury by
the government for the refunding Of
duties paid; piece of stone given to
the Washington National monument by
the king Of Siam; the original seal Of
Shakespeare; relics of the Greedy arctic
expedition, and blood-stained dagger
taken in battle from a Malay pirate.
Next to this weapon is piece of sail
and a remnant of gold-wovcn cloak
that came from Viking ship Of the
eighth century.
The collection is rich in marine curl
osities, relics of famous battlefields,
petrifactions from Egypt, weapons OF
barbarian tribes and works Of art and
nature. Among the exhibits is a col
lection of butterflies obtained in the
straits of Sunda, said to be the finest in
the world. 1t was sent to the museum
by Capt. Desler of the ship Lothian.
The shipping men of this city think
so highly of the museums collection
that=they are talking of petitioning tho
board Of directors to permit it to be ex-
hibited at the worlds fair.

fertilization from IL to Is feet high.
In the prairie regions, land which
produces good yields of Indian corn
will also grow paying crops Of broom
;. corn. The soil should be free from foul
stuff, as the young broom corn plants
are small and delicate and cannot fight
their way among the weeds. 1t isusual
to plant the seeds two or three inches
apart in drills three and one-half feet
apart. II thicker than this il is best to
thin. Rows should be planted north
and south to let the sun in to the best
advantage. Plant when the soil has
become warm in spring, usually little
later than Indian corn. Cover seed "
TO II inches deep. Two quarts per acre
of good seed is about the right amount,
but as much of the seed is chaffy and
will not terminate. it is necessary to
allow something for this. The cultiva-
ton is similar to that of Indian corn.
Broom corn may be grown for several
successive years upon the same ground.
1t does not exhaust the soil and the
dense growth keeps down and kills out
the weeds Authorities,diffe as to the

TO secure this 1t must be gathered as soon
as the blossoms begin to fall, which
happens when the seeds first form. Be-
fore cutting, the stalks are tabled to
facilitate handling, that is, bending or
breaking the tops Of two contiguous
rows toward each other diagonally
so that those of one row cross
those of the sother, forming a, sort
of table. The table is about 80 inches
high to be most convenient for cutters
and the brushes extend beyond the ta-
BILE. After tabling, the brush and about
8 inches of stem is cut off with kni lie
and laid upon the table. From heE& il

the scrapers, where the seeds are fahyEh
off. The scrapers consist of fapNlly
revolving cylinders having ironA teeth
upon the surfaces. The lunches of
broom corn are held between these and
the seeds removed. The straight and
crooked brush is separated either when
loaded upon the wagons or at the
scrapers. After being freed from seed
the brush is taken to the drying house.
This consists of shed with tight
roof and sides. Every four or six feet
along the sides is narrow door which
is kept open during fine weather, but
closed when wet and stormy. The
brush is spread upon racks made OF
laths or light lumber, two or three
inches thick. The time required for
drying depends much upon the season.
When dry it is baled for market. Care
must be taken to keep the brush straight
and to have the bales compact and firm,
and of 800 pounds weight or more.

MEXICO AT The FAIR.
Ten Thousand of Her People WIN
Present.

Ten Thousand of Her People WIN Ne
Present.
Ten thousand is the estimate that
Lieut.. Baker makes on the number of
Mexicans who will participate in the
exposition. Lieut. Baker has just re-
turned from Mexico, and says the in
terest in the exposition amounts to en-
thusiasm. While in Mexico he visited
nearly every state of that republic, and
gives the following general statement
of exhibits that may be expected from
them: From Neuvo Leon, relics of the
Intervention; textile fiber, the plant
and all processes for the manufacture OF
fiber from it, all kinds of cereals and
minerals. The state of Tamaulipas will
send a full exhibit. From Tampico, in
the state of the same name, will be sent
a model and rgficf map in colors show
ing the river jetties now constructed in
that harbor, also very fine display of
cabinet woods and medical plants.
Here Mr.. Baker also secured valuable
collection of Indian idols for the arch@o-
logical department From Jalisco
there will be sent rebosos, serapes and
iCib iidbo uflti ~ lhISo anu NdiiSu dStt-
cultural and mineral exhibit. Among
the agricultural exhibits from the state
of Vera Cruz expected are tobacco,
cocoa and medicinal plants. From
Pueblo the exhibit Of onyx in large
slabs and in manufactured articles will
make a beautiful display. Oaxaca has
been until lately completely cut off
from the world by the great ranges of
mountains separating it from the re-
mainder of the republic A railroad to
the capital is now in construction and
meteorological and archaeological dis
plays from these states will be very
large and valuable and an exhibit par
ticularly interesting will be that of the
artistic needlework Of the natives In
a general way Lieut.. Baker says that
interest in the fair is manifested by all
Mexicans, from the humblest private
citizen In the most remote states to the
president of the republic, and that the
general exhibits from that country will
more than meet the greatest expecta-
tions of the visitors to the exposition.
Lieut.. Baker was, until recently, the
special commissioner to Mexico, but is
now in charge of the marine division of
the transportation department

a spell Of sickness
is due when the systems weakened,
and the blood impure. It's what
you must expect. n
But it's what you must prevent,
too. And DR.. Pierce's Golden Med
ical Discovery prevents as well as
cures. It invigorates the liver and
kidneys, purifies and enriches the
blood, sharpens the appetite, i'm
proves digestion, and restores health
and strength. For Dyspepsia,
"Liver Complaint" and every form
of Scrofulous, Skin, or Scalp Dis
eases, as Salt-rheum, letter, Fry
sipelas, or any blood-taint, it's an
unequaled remedy.
It's not like the sarsaparillas,
which claim to be good for the
blood in March, April and May.
At all seasons alike, and in all cases,
the Discovery alone is guaran-
teed. If it doesn't benefit or cure,
you have your money back.
It's the cheapest blood-purifier, no
matter how many doses are offered
for 9 dollar, for you pay only for
the good you, get. But it's the
best, or it couldn't be sold 80.

One of the most delightful effects in
vestibule draping is obtained by the use
fof lace and silk combined. For this
purpose, take a length of drapng lace
with both edges alike, and about three
eighths of a yard in width, and tack it in
the center of the glass door; then take
India silk of any harmonious tint, and
shirr it on to the slender brass rods,
which come for the purpose, hanging Il
on each side of the lace panel for broad,
