The ornamental features of the pam.

Harriet W. r. Strong, in the Los An.
geles (Cal.) Times. l discovered that
the plumes could not be destroyed in
water. Hence, as product for bank
note paper they are valuable. Again,
the fiber will make rope. This was
brought out in Jackson Park through
one of the judges of awards, who in
formed me that at the present time
the strongest rope in the world is be-
ing made in South America, where also
they have tested the paper making
qualities of the plumes. They also
weave cloth with which they make
dresses for their women.

Steel is now cheaper than iron. 1t
seems hardly possible, remarks the
Boston Cultivator, but the estimates
of cost in recent bidding for a bridge
in Pennsylvania to be made with steel
stringers and steel rivets was lower
than like estimate for the same
bridge made with iron stringers and
iron rivets. Four bids were made,
and in each case the bridge could be
made cheaper of steel than of iron.
The successful bid was $1965, as
against $2157, which was the lowest
bid for the iron bridge. Owing to
the greater strength of steel, the
weight of metal in the steel bridge is
much less than it must necessarily be
for one of iron.

A SUMMER LONGING.

I must away to wooded hills aud wales,
Where broad, slow streams flow cool and
silently,
And idle barges flap their listless sails
For me the summer sunset glows and pales,
And green fields wait for me.
long for shadowy forests, where the birds
Twitter and chirp at noon from every tree.
I long for blossomed leaves and lowing
herds,
And natures voices say, in mystic words,
"The green fields wait for thee"
l dream of uplands, where the primrose
shines,
And waves her yellow lamps above the
lea
OF tangled copses, swung with trailing vines,
OF open vistas, skirted with tall pines,
Where green fields wait for me.
I think of long, sweet afternoons, when
May lie and listen TO the distant sea,
Or hear the breezes in the reeds that sigh,
Or insect voices chirping shrill and dry,
In fields that wait for me-
These dreams of summer como to bid me
The forests shade, the wild birds melody,
White summers rosy wreaths for me are
twined,
While summers fragrance fingers on the
wind,
And green fields wait for me-

Reports from United States consuls
in Mexico to the State Department
warn Americans against emigrating to
Mexico, with a view to permanent
settlement, with insufficient means, or
without informing themselves in a re-
liable way as to the prospects for
earning livelihoods. Many Americans
have been induced by alluring state
ments as to the cheapness of coffee
raising, etc, to emigrate to Mexico
within the past year, and some have
lost their all by doing SO. There are
good opportunities in Mexico for en-
terprise, frugality and thrift if backed
by Tic resources necessary to success
in new country.

The MatadOr's Last Thrust

The art of the matador is not to run
up to the bull and stab him, but to
have him come to you and fling him
self upon the sword, while you direct
his movements this way and that with
the scarlet cape. He will follow a
red cape anywhere, and the chulas are
busy from the beginning of the fight
to the end, leading the bull away from
the fallen picadors or the imperilled
banderilleros or the matador. Even
after the sword is thrust into his neck
up to the hilt, it takes the bull long
time to die. A narrowing sight it is.
The noble creature-the only noble
creature, as it seems, in the ring
stands up as long as he can, vomiting
forth torrents of blood, MS all his en-
emies crowd around him, sticking to
it until he drops trembling against the
fender. Then in come the teams OF
mules, gayly decorated with flags and
ribbons, to carry The bull and the
horses around the ring at gallop,

You back to the Roman circus, and you
wonder what civilization has done for
Spain, whose population is still SO
thirsty for blood. The Spaniards are
SO used to it that they see none of the

science. And the English residents
in Spain are more enthusiastic than
the Spaniards themselves.

A peculiar solution of England's
problem in India may evolve before
many years, predicts the New York
Independent. There is a growing
tendency among Indian princes to
marry European wives; and the re-.
suit is likely to be that many of the
States now governed by them will in
course of time pass into the hands of
Eurasian rulers. If it should become
the rage among the Rajahs and Ma.
wabs to have European wives as it now
is to have European horse trainers,
etc, then the heads of the great native
States will before long be of mixed
race, and such a state of things wonld
put new phase on the political des-
tiny of the country.

The American Register, of Paris, IS
authority for the statement that the
descendants of Queen Victoria are
either now in possession of, or will in
the natural course of events come to
occupy, seven thrones-those of the
British Empire, the German Empire,
the Russian Empire, the Kingdom of
Greece, the Grand Duchy of Hesse,
the Duchy of Sake Coburg and Gotha,
and the Duchy of Sake Meiningen.
According to this the Anglo Saxons
may shortly come to universal rule in
Europe, as its language is coming to
he the universal language of the world.
Possibly in this way, muses. the Tren.

ers, may be established.

Attention was so centered upon the
labor troubles that the close of the
San Francisco Midwinter Fair on the
Fourth of July passed almost unno-
ticed. Yet the event was worthy of
comment. The Fair, despite the hard
times and the interminable industrial
difficulties, was remarkable success.
There were more than 1000, 900 paid
admissions, which is most gratify-
ing showing considering that the Pa.
cific coast contributed practically all
the attendants. The managers of the
Exposition and the people of San
Francisco deserve the highest credit
for their pluck and enterprise in car
rying the Fair TO successful conclu.
sion. They will find their reward in
the advertising which it will give
them.

This is called the age of electricity.
That, in the opinion of the New York
Recorder, is mistake. We haven't
crossed the threshold yet. The adj
vance has been wonderful, however
In 1870 two examiners in the United
States Patent Office did all the work
of the bureau; now twenty are re.
quired, and they are months behind.
Then two electrical patents were issued
a week now there are fifty. Notwith-
standing all this advance the small
amount of electric energy obtained
from a pound of coal is suffice MT to
stimulate every inventor in this line
to renewed effort. The next great
step will be to dispense with the boiler,
engine and dynamo and create electric
energy direct from fuel. Until that
is done the age of electricity will not
have begun.

AS an offset to the movement FOR n

sion as to it's probable effects on the

Allowing 775, 900 to be retained for
keeping peace at home, how could the
remainder he provided for if dis.

patton in the fields or the factories,
because production has far exceeded
consumption. A fall of wages would
become inevitable, aud the struggle for
life be much seyerer. Rather than
throw the liberated men on charity

And by the stream long shadows fling
From willow trees that hedge the spring.
o level Sun, thy rays are tipped

Flirt gilded wings from grass to grass.

Presage another death of days.

Move, merge, and darken into night.
