The Financier, the leading bank
paper of New York, has apparently
got a man from over the "pond" to
write the weekly leader. He is
slightly green in our statistics but
he carries more brass than any
American. In a recent "leader"
he says
"Including the greenback, the
Treasury note, the silver certificate,
and other public money, we have
outstanding nearly five hundred
million dollars of gold obligations,
conceding them to be Interchange
able, and therefore convertible into
gold coin at will"
Such cheek of brass could only
he furnished by the Bank of Eng
land, as to assume that the silver
certificates are redeemable in gold
when the terms ON the notes are
"one Cor more) silver dollar payable
bearer on demand" That reads
like a pretty square contract.
But he is out a matter of about
three hundred millions in his sta
tistics. There are supposed to be-

greenbacks, Sl50,OOO,OOO legal

600 silver certificates. This in
round numbers will aggregate

writes it. He is probably one OF
the Junior Rothschilds, and his copy
ought to have been looked over,
and such tell-tale mistakes avoided.

Fashion Notes.

Young ladies are giving consider
able attention to skating costumes
One of the most stylish is made
of dark green corduroy with seams
covered with straps of green velvet.
the fitted jacket is of corduroy with
green velvet sleeves and strapped
sleeves finished with velvet. There
is high collar and muff of otter.
The cap has crown of velvet and
brim of fur.
A handsome finish for dress is
a high, rolling collar of colored
satin. This is attached to a yoke
that fits the shoulders smoothly,
and is square at the front and back
The edges of this are embroidered
in applique in beads and lace.
From the front a fall of lace covers
the entire bodice.
A hood or driving bonnet is made
OF velvet. 1t fits the head quite
snugly at the sides, has a curtain
of velvet, wi h box plated ruch
ing of pinked ort silk around the
back. 1t ties III front with large
bow of soft satin ribbon, and a
bunch OF sHiall ostrich Flames ale
set in the trent over the top.
While many authorities are claim

appears in many of the finest crea-
tons of the season. A shoulder
cape of velvet has collar of erminc,
it appears in many of the finest
creations of the season. A shoulder
cape of velvet has collar of ermine
covering the shoulders and a stand
ing collar Of velvet lined with
ermine.
A pretty theatre dress is made
of spotted silk and velvet. The
skirt is cut plainly, the bodice is of
velvet, very low cut, and filled in
with voiuminous folds of chiffon
held down by straps. Large chiffon
bows are set on the shoulders.
A great deal of ermine will be
worn for dressy occasions during
the season. AS an opera cloak, it
is unapproachable, and when lined
with white, cream, pearl, pink or
blue satin or brocade, is simply the
perfection of material,
A waist trimming is of galloon

tabs of velvet fall from a round,
turned over collar. These tabs are

Spreads That are Used for Show
When Company is Coming.
The old fashioned Marseilles
spread, cumbersome to handle and
heavy for the laundress, will never
quite go out of vogue. 1t is rich
looking and durable. But to house
keepers who like novelty and
variety, there are many other
materials more delicate and refined
looking than Marseilles.
When the house mistress has
time and taste for needlework she
is apt to make one or two spreads
herself. A linen sheet, neither too
fine nor two heavy, is taken as the
basis. If she has leisure she divides
the whole, or merely the border,
into large squares or parallelograms,
by drawing out threads in the
manner so much in vogue among
Spanish DANES. These she works
over with linen thread by merely
twisting three or four threads over
as many others. If she desires
finer work she uses Asiatic rope
silk, of color to suit the bed
chamber. A serviceable silk,
handsome when finished and har-
monizing with all colors, is the
black Roman floss or the Asiatic
rope silk.
A less dainty effect may be had
by working each square or oblong
with heavy red or blue cotton. The
black silk on the white, however,
will never wear out, and will look
well anywhere. A novel plan will
be to embroider each section with
a design different from the others.
Each one must be quaint and all
must be of nearly the same size.
thus giving play to the taste and
fancy of the needle woman. The
effect will be much better than to
have floral pattern stamped in
the usual hackneyed manner.
Where the drawn work is too
wearisome, the sections can be
separated by briar or feather stitch
ing. If the center is left to be
marked with a larger and more
snowy design than the bordering,
the effect will be handsomer than
it will be to have the entire spread
evenly divided.
Another and less tedious way is
to mark vine about the edge, by
means of a plate, laid down this
way and that, so that the marking
turns on either side of it. From
this, with soft lead pencil, mark
a conventional vine, with tendrils
or leaflets, partly stiff and partly
eufyed. This wreath encircles the
edge Of the eeuVre-iet, and it should
be marked in stem or outline stitch,
with the blank Roman floss or
Asiatic rope silk.
Rqltqn sheeting or dull colored
denim may be wrought in Asiatic
silk or corsage cotton or linen.
The design must be large and
snowy, either in the faint likeness
of flowers, in scrolls, or in geo
metric designs. The work is rapidly
done, effective, and will launder
well, while it lasts a long time.
The spread should be long enough
to cover the bolster That lakes the
place of pillows. Sometimes, when
used ON brass or IRON beds. it is
wide enough to hang over the sides,
and then is trimmed about the
entire edge with lace or fringe.
The old style of Nottingham lace,
lined with colored cambria, is out
of vogue. Cheap lace has received
a style that, in the beginning, had
little to recommend it,

The New Gresnville Compress.

The new Ginner's Compress was
put in operation at the Skinner gin
on Tuesday last, and was complete
success. Every claim advanced for
the machine was realized, and it is
assured that q revolution in the pro-
cess of cotton baling has been in.
augurated. The density of the bale
as produced at present depends upon
the capacity of the engine. A SO
horse power engine, carrying 80
pounds of steam and operating
three 80 saw gin stands can make
cylindrical bales toar and one half
feet in length by twenty-four inches
in diameter, weighing $50 pounds.
The process is much less expensive
than that now in use, and Is year
old boy of intelligence can operate
the press successfully. The many
advantages of cotton so baled will
be appreciated by the mills as soon
as it is received by them, and it is
only a question of time when the
cylindrical bale will bring a prem.
ium of ] to 4 of a cent per pound
over that put up by the old system.
One of the chief benefits to the
cotton grower is the consumption of
cotton ducking used for wrapping.
In crop of 1000, 900 bales GO, 200
bales would be required for this
purpose, not only consuming the
cotton, but doing away entirely
with the necessity for jute bagging
and ties. While this press will
cause revolution in the bailing Of
cotton there has been invented a
delinter by one Of our Greenviile
citizens which will increase the price
of seed one hundred per cent over
the present prices. A sample of the
seed delinted by thrs machine has
been sent to the mills of Hull,
England, for examination and to
ascertain their value. The mills
offer to take 200, 900 tons of the
dellnted seed and to pay $4,000
ton for them. The cost of dellnt-
ing is about $500 per ton, and
freight from New Orleans to Hull
is $4.50 per ton. This will make
the seed worth in America $500
per ton, instead of $500, which
planters are now receiving. 1t lis
hard to understand why our own oil
mills cannot pay as much for seed,
less freight, as do the oil mills OF
England. The numerous Trusts
and combines are the probable cause;
but with the delinter IN operation
seed will at once be in demand fol
export, and large revenue from
this source may be looked for in
the near future. -Greenville Times.

An exchange says that "a new
and destructive insect pest has made
its appearance in Georgia. 1t is a
short, thick, s4uare-shaped brown
slug that feeds ravenously on the
corn blades and tender foliage Of the
pesvines. Around its body is a
closelY-ftting jacket of vivid green
that looks like piece Of leaf wrap
ped around its body. Because of its
peculiar shape the caterpillar is
called the devils saddle bags 1t
has eight or ten harry legs that are
extremely poisonous to the touch,
and the monster is the terror of the
fodder fields. 1t has been seen oc-
casionally before, but appears in
greater numbers this year. The
humidity of the atmosphere seems to
favor its development.
