CORN TO BURN.
The Garncring of 1895 Is Certainly
"a Monster.

The Chicago Tribune thus suggests a
novel way of dispensing cf the surplus corn
crop:
"On a 900. O00. 600 bushel crop the
West will have corn TO burn. According
to Il Kansas City dispatch packing
house company has already issued orders
to It's Wichita house to begin the use IF
corn fer f,:cl 50 soon as il can be bought
for II cents Il bushei. Last year the UNI
usual AMI abnormal feature in the grain
situation was Ike feeding of whelt t. farm
animals. Little attention was paid To it
1T first. except as an experiment. but in
the aggregate il amounted 10 millions IF
bushels. and was reflected in reduced
stocks in farmers hands. Burning Of
corn for fuel is less of Il novelty than feed
ing of wheat to hogs. as it has been gen
eral enough on several occasions TO attract
Il great deal of attention. Both are direct
results of oyerproduction. The conditions
in wheat which made stock feeding prac-
t;cahle are all present in corn in an ag-rA-
waited form To make its use rs fuel in
many sections feasible. The 1879 crop
of corn is practically made. and without
doubt it will he record-breakCr. Or the
basis of present prices corn Will he cheap
- than coal for fuel during this fail and
winter in States west Of the Mississippi
River. 1t is said that experiments have
shown that Il ton of dry corn Will 90 fur

cially adapted for hot fires. 1t is clean

inent operator on the Board of Trade o.
fered to forfeit $4,000 il he could not
furnish the Alley l. road with corn for

supply"
But on the other hand reports from Ne
braska. Kansas and Iowa points, where
in times of coal famine resort has been
made to corn for fuel. state that its Use il
neither satisfactory nor profitable. The
heat Is so intense that the iron OF furnaces
and stoves is soon burned out. Then,
too. it is not steady. which renders il i'm
practicable for making steam.

CIeaning Fine LaccS.

Very fine lace which has become quite
soiled may be cleaned 10y washing it
carefully in benzine. writes Eve Marie
Kennedy in the Ladies' Home Journal
The lace should bc put into Il bowl and

zine that can be procured. and be al
lowed to soak for Il short time. occas-
ionally receiving a gentle shaking. but
it should never he rubbed with the
hands. If necessary. when the henzine
is poured off it should be replaced by Il
fresh supply and the lace allowed TO
soak again for time. After il has be
come perfectly clean it should be
pinned. while still quite wet. on
fiannel-covered board to dry. 1t is i'm
portant that this should be done with
great care. Plenty of small pins should

be fastened down securely with due re-
gard TO the pattern of the lace, so as To
keep it even and correct.
If the lace dries before the task has
been quite completed il should be moist

BenZine is most infiammablc. so must

VIC Can't COI.inefe

The total domestic consumption of
wheat is estimated annually ut 81.
C0O000 bushels. Financial experts,
however, claim that this consumption
is reduced G0O0O,0OO a year owing to
the scarcity of money. The fact is,
says Eugene Beebe, that this country
cannot compete with the silver and
cheap money countries. The farmer in
Argentina gets about 90 cents n bushel
for his wheat in paper, which ena bles
him to pay good wages and earn {. liv-
ing. When this wheat reaches the
coast. it is put through n gold cruel
bic. and the British exporter is able
to sell his wheat to England at 80
cents a buShel in gold.
As financial expert and student OF
conditions, l expect to see American
wheat sell at 40 cents Il bushel and corn
ut 30 cents n bushel this fall. The
American farmer will be much worse
off than the Argentina farmer and will
find he has been blowing the sand
The recoinage Of silver would cause q
rise in prices of wheat corn and cotton.

MUST ARBITRATE OR FIGHT.
Alleged Ultimatum by O!ney to En-
gland in the Venezuela Affair.

Nothing has been done by our Govern
ment with reference to the Venezuela
boundary controversy since Secretary
Gresham forwarded Minister Bayard a
copy of the resolution passed by the late
| Congress urging Great Britain to submit
the disputed question to arbitration 1t IS
| said, however, that Secretary Olney has
prepared note for Mr.. Bayard to lay
| before Lord Salisbury thar contains a
more forcible expression of the views of
the United States on this subject than has
vet been officially uttered. This dispatch
! is of positive and most unequivocal ma
turc. AS soon as ii shall be placed before
the British Government it will raise Il
| question which can be settled only by the
retreat of one or the other Government
The stand taken by the United States in
this dispatch is one which involves the
oldest aud most sacred tradition of the
| Government-the enforcement of the
Monroe doctrine.
Secretary Olneys dispatch lis in sub
stance declaration in the most positive
language that the United States will never
consent to British occupation of the dis
puted territory in Venezuela unless that
nations right thereto is first determined
by arbitration. While this declaration is
substantially the same as that which was
made some months ago. and to which the
British Foreign Office replied with Il
statement that the English right to part
of the territory in question could be sub
mitted to arbitration, the right to another
part of the region in question could not be
submitted 10 such arbitration.
When Great Britain took this ground
the question which President Cleveland
and his advisers had to decide vas wheth.
or The United States is bound by the Mon
roe doctrine and by her dignity to insist
that all the territory in dispute should lie
submitted to arbitration. or whether by
concCding England's contention we should
virtually abandon the field and leave Ven
eZuela TO fight il out alone. Few more
serious questions have presented them
selves 10 the American administration
within recent years.
The decision of the President and his
Cabinet advisers. after careful discussion
and painstaking investigation. is that
bold and consistent policy shall be adopt
ed and this policy has been formulated
in the dispatch which Amba ssador Bay
ard Will lay before the British Govern
ment rs soon as he returns from his pres
cnt journey to Scotland.
The dispatch meets Enslands rejoinder
with n reaffirmaton Of the principle of
original contention expressed in phra ses
which leave no possibility of doubt as to
the meaning and earnestness Of the Uni
ted States. 1t does more. In polite, but
firm and significant words. Secretary
Olney declares it to be the belief of the
United States that the territorial claims
which Great Britain has set up in Vene-
zuela are in the nature of an attempt 10
seize territory on the American continent
TO which she has no legal right.

SMUGGLING WITH SNOWBALLS
Clever Ruse of Russian Soldiers to
Hoodwink Customs Officials.

Until within recent years the Russian
frontier on the German boundary was
guarded in a surprisingly weak man
ner for nation so completely under
military rule as the Cars great en-
pire. But now there is Il strong Gordon
of garriSonS only few miles apart and
Il careful patrol service between them.
The chief duty of these garrisons is TO
prevent smuggling and the intr0duc-
ton Of .nihilist literature INFO Russia.
The duty is hard and monoton0uS. and
the Car does not like to have his best
trained and most effective regiments
sent out along the boundary line.
For the most part these GarriSons
consist of young recruits from the east
ern ana central provinces of Russia
They are seldom expert soldiers. and
the lax discipline they are under IS
further weakened by their excessive
drinking. Their small pay is doled out
To them twice Il month. and every ko-
peck OF it is Immediately expended in
vodka. After the vodka is gone they
employ their spare time in making
raids across the boundary line into the
German farm yards TO supplement
their meager rati0nS.
Along the entire boundary line be-
tween these two countries there is n
series of great open plains. Over these
an icy east wind blows in winter. and
the only way the soldiers can keep alive
on their patrol is by the building Of
wood fires between the posts Even
then the patrols frequently have their
limbs frozen in their monotonouS
marches to and fro. Hence il is NOT at
all difficult TO Smuggle across the boun-
Gary. and indeed it is suspected that
the soldiers often add 10 their small pay
by making deals with the Smugglers
and turning their heads the other way
when they pass by.
Two very novel attempts were made
last spring by the smuggling fraternity,
both OF which proved successful. In
one case late GA" night Il band OF men
in Germany began SnoWballing some
villagers on Russian territory. and the
Russians returned the attack. In the
sn0WballS thrown from Germany, how
ever. yards of fine Brussels lace were
concealed. The method proved most
successful. for even the secre, police
did not discover it. and the guard of
the frontier certainly had no idea of
what was going on. Quite Us cfiicacious
was the bringing in of thousands OF
nihilist proclamatiens through Silesia
under the very eyes of the garrison.
These prociama tons were in the hol-
low slaves carried by body OF men
who passed themselves off as pious
