The Fair Women Exhibition.

There is something especially en-
couraging to women, says the I.ady'S
Pictorial, in the Fair Women ENhihi-
tion. Here we have on view pictures
of our sex by artists of all schools and
of all ages. so that we can see how
varied is taste, and how idle it is TO
lay down any laws of beauty. Many
of the portraits are positively ugly to
the eyes. yet the originals were types
of lovelincss in the ages in which they
lived.
The Fair Women" Exhibition is
certainly Il striking proof of Gocthcs
axiom that the reflection of beauty is
visible in Il thousand different utter
anceS of the creative mind, and is as
various as Nature itself, and also Of
Bichat'S opinion that if everyone were
cast in the same mould there would
be no such thing as beauty. How
varied was the Laureatc's dream"

note by the organizers of the Grafton

ing and generous just now, when in
print if not in practice, woman spends
most of her time in calling man IL
brute.

Er.Quettes of Coal Dust.

How many years must clapSe before
we are compelled to use briqurttcs OF
coal dust and pitch as fuel it is i'm
possible to predict. but it is highly
probable that in the east, at least. this
pract' cc will come into vogue before
long. Over in England such briquet-
ties are already in common use. and
one enterpr'Sing manufacturer of MI
ch.nery has recently brought out an
apparatus by which the retail coal
dealers may make up the dust of their
yards into these cakes at the rate of
half Il ton an hour. The machine does
not occupy much room. requires little
power and is largely automatic. The
coal dust and binding material,
usually pitch. are fed into Il mixing
and measuring machine. which III XcS
them together in the proper proper
ton. Then the mass falls into a dis
entegrat0r. where it is ground up ana
mixed some more. From this Olsen
tcgrator a belt conveyor lifts the paste
into a vertical heater where steam is
used to raise the temperature of the
mass until it is sticky. Then it is fed
along to still another pulverizing and
grinding apparatus, which finally q s.
charges it into molds. Here it is sub
icctcd to a pressure of about two tons
to the square inch. which is sufficient
to turn out square cake of fuel
weighing anywhere from three quar-
tcrS of pound to three pounds, AZ
may be desired. The br;Qucttcs are
usually sold to small consumers by
number rather than by weight. an
on this account the builder of the ma
chine has taken particular care t"
produce an apparatus which. though
small, will turn out a uniform pro-
duct.-St. Louis Globe-DcmOcrat.

WHEN THE HEARTS IN ITS PRIME.

The Sons on his throne, and the Wind on his
tour
Like wandering minstrels DER meadow and moor;
The day and the season are both in their prime,
And vouths at its sweetest and ten erest time
Ihc buds are in bloom, and the birds sing their
best;
ri tr cs are in leaf and the orchard is dressed
With clust ring fruits for the years in its prime,
And Youth al its rlpest and tenderest time.
To- soon shall the clouds cover sunshiny sky,
The voice of the minstrel he hushed to a sigh;
Too sooL snall the day and the season decline,
And tlUStcring fruits shall be melted to wine.
The petals shall fail and the songsters depart,
I e foliage fade like the youth of the heart;
or swift rUns the current of pitiless time
and always the swifter when life's in its prime
Tn birds and the blossoms and fruit shall ap
pear,
With summers return and the turn of the year.
The breeze shall he sweet and the sun be as fair;
Alas bu tie prime of my youth is not there.
Each month of the year has its prime, but in
truth
There's only one prime in the season of youth.
Though hearts love again, and shall love for all
time,
There's only one love when the hearts in its

Every one has heard of luminous
plants and shrubs. but comparatively
few people are aware of the existence
in Nevada of IL luminous tree of large
proportions. The Indians have always
entertained Il wholesome dread of this
tree. and have Il number of legends
connected with it. some of which are
clearly founded on the Biblical story
of Moses and the burning bush. AS a
result of their superstition the tree
has come to be known as the witch

among people for miles around. 1t is

FACTS ABOUT SUGAR.

The American Economist gives the
sugar consumption of the United
States at 4, ,42O, 600, 900 pounds, which
at three cents a pound, amounts,
to $132. 600, 900. An ad valorem
tax of 40 per cent on that is $53, O4O-
900, which makes tax on each indi-
vidual in the United States of 78 cents
and $3. 80 upon each family of five
persons. And this is put on in the
interests of the Sugar Trust, which
supplied large contributions toward
the election of Mr. Cleveland as Presi-
dent. That fact is not denied, and
yet Mr.. Cleveland, in his special let
ter to Mr.. Wilson, excused that tax
as good tax on which to raise rev.
enue. Does anybody believe that if
the sugar refinery people had refused
to contribute to the campaign fund of
the Democrats, and had contributed
to the Harrison campaign fund, that
Mr.. Cleveland would brake what he
says is the rule of his life, in favor
of raw material, and insist on tax
being put on sugar. There is another
feature of it. The theory of the Re-
publican party is that on such material
as the United States cannot produce
there should be no tax. The United
States at present can produce but a
small percentage of the sugar needed
by the people. The policy of the Re-
publican party was to admit sugar
free and to pay bounty to those peo-
pie who might invest capital to pro-
duce sugar in this country, the thought
being that in that way in the next fiji
teen years the industry would so in
crease that the sending away of more
than $1OO, 900, 900 annually for sugar
would be stopped, and that that money
would 90 to the men who raise sugar
beets, ond who from the beets produc
ed the sugar, and thus it would all
remain in this country. which policy
suitsthe men of Utah better. Salt Lake

Our Military Resources.

The United States has been said to
be warlike nation without being a
military nation. It's war potentiall-
ties are vast, indeed. 1t showed that
80 years ago, when with only little
more than half its present population
it mustered more than 5000, 900 men
under arms in the Union and Confed-
crate forces. There are now in Amer
ica the enormous total of 5000, 600
men of military age eligible for mill
tary service. Of course, the actual
number of organized, drilled and uni
formed citizens soldiers is only small
fraction of this, but the real available
military strength of the United States
is only inadequately appreciated by
the average American. Never before
was the National Guard of the several
States so strong in numbers, so well
armed, SO excellently disciplined.
There are 112, 100 of these volunteers
in all, representing infantry, cavalry
and artillery. New York heads the
list in numbers with with well-equip-
ped force of II, $40 officers and men.
Pennsylvania has a force of 1914,
whose mettle was tried two years ago
at Homestead; Ohio has 6, ,125, and
Massachusetts, 1866. The States in
which the present strike centers are
well prepared for such an emergency.
Illinois's militia body musters Att
men; Indiana's, 2, 1888, Iowa's 1851;
Missouri's, 2,415, and Michigan's o.
Sol. Illinois is particularly fortunate
in the character of its fine city regi-
ments. When to this great army OF
100000 men are added the %, 900 re-
gulars and the 1900 or 5000 blue
Jackets and marines of the war ships
on the home station, it is obvious that
there is something more than the pol
1 iceman's club between the American
people and anarchy. Boston j Journal.
The experience the country is now
having with mobs and especially the
experience of Chicago seems to war
rant the opinion that we need a larger
standing army. The United States
now has but a handful of regular sol
diers-about 10000. 1t would be
wise to increase the number to at
least 100000. = Cincinnati Times
