ATLANTA. October 29.-It is high time
to give some sort of a forecast FOR the
future Of the great southern exposition,
seeing that the confusion of the first
weeks is done away, SO that intending
visitors can noV rely upon the pro-
gramme being strictly observed for tho
future and time their visit for the occa-
sion which suits them best. Pro-
grammes, directories and the like are
but dry reading, as a rule, but there is
SO much novelty promised for the set
days of the fair that I may hope to
make this one as fascinating as patent

at last, there were 30, 900 visitors in the
grounds, and all delighted; the lights
worked as per programme, Gilmore's
band set the southerners wild with its
patriotic medley, "Dixie" of course re-
ceiving the 1oudest applause, and the
Midway was in roar till midnight.
The national irrigation congress and
the farmers congress followed with con-
tinued daily sessions for week, and all
the women's programme was carried
out to the letter. Then came the Ameri-
can Publishers association, the Kings
Daughters, the Bankers association,
Baltimore day and the road parliament,
each adding greatly to the attendance
and making Atlanta for the time the

BED COMFORTABLEs.
Suggestions Concerning the Making q
These Convenient Bed Coverings.


Suggestions Concerning the Making q
These Convenient Bed Coverings.
There are many people of abundant
means who maintain that the day Of the
comfortable has gone by and that blan-
kets are the only bed covering that should
be used. This is on the ground that that
which is the best is the only thing to
use. This is desirable enough theory,
providing every one has means to secure
the best But large majority of per-
sons must be content with something
that will suffice, though it is not the
best, and q great many families will
continue to use comfortab1es in winter
because they are warm, economical
bed covering. For the benefit of this
latter class is here appended some help
full remarks on the subject from the
New York Tribune:
It requires for one comfortable about
ten yards Of cheesecloth, or some such
sheer cotton goods, which may be pur-
chased at 6 cents a yard, and three or
four bolts of patent cotton batting and
half skein of Germantown yarn. These
materials will cost about $1.2 or 81. so
and will make a comfortable 2 yards by
~ in size Smaller duvets, or COM
fortables, for the foot Of the bed are
made yard wide and ~ yards long.
When more luxurious comfortable is
desired, old summer silk skirts may be
dyed in gay colors and used for the pur-
pose. Wool, which costs little more
than the besa cotton, but is much light
or, may be used to fill these silk COM
fortables, and the result is bed cover
Ill ,1-o
best Californian blanket Where there
is a quilting frame in the house, and
tho comfortable is filled with patent
cotton, it is al easy matter to make
one. The popularity Of patent cotton is
that it is laid aud stitched about every
nino inches in its width, SO that the la
Dor of laying and smoothing down the
cotton, the hardest part OF the work in
making an old fashioned comfortable, is
practically done away with. Begin by
stretching the under part OF the COM
Portable Oh the frames ard rolling out
the cotton on it, laying it in place and
basting the breadths together where
they lap. After this put on the top cover
and haste the edges of the comfortable
together and secure it in the frames.
Nine inches from the edge tack the
comfortable with the Germantown yarn,
tying the tackings down with No. g
cotton. Nine strands of wool are suffi-
Gent for lacking. Separate the tack
ings by nine inches, and when enc row
is done on the quilting frame roll it up
that distance and begin another nine
inches from the first, but between, not
opposite, the others. Continue until the
entire bed cover is tackled. After this is
done remove the comfortable from the
quilting frames, turn it in around the
edges, stitching them closely together
with the machine, and buttonhole the
edges WITH Germantown yarn.

THE state department at Washington
has been collecting statistics of wages in
gold using and silver using countries,
and the results of its labors are pres
ed in the pamphlet of consular reports
for September, 1895. A comparison of
the weekly wages paid in Belgium,
which may be regarded as a representa-
tive gold standard country, and Mexico
which is fairly representative silver
country, gives some interesting results.
The following are some of the figures:
Bricklayers in Belgium get 81 50, while
in Mexico they receive SO; masons in
Belgium receive So 90, while in Mexico
they are paid $3.50; blacksmiths, Bel
GUM, 50. SO, Mexico, IS; brass founders,
Belgium, $500, Mexico. SO; cabinet
makers, Belgium. So, Mexico, $40; teie-
graph operators, Belgium, $685., Mexico,
$1L50. and 80 on through the list In
making the comparison it should be fur
Their considered that Belgium labor is
considerably more than twice as efficient
as a rule as Mexican labor, as determined
by resulting product, and that in Belgium
labor is highly organized in its own in
terest, whereas in Mexico it is every la
borer for himself. Yet the laboring man
is told that the free coinage OF silver will
cut the value of his dollar in two.

THE silver agitation has accomplished
one thing which has never before been
known to occur from any other cause. 1t
has been the means of seYering the ties
which bind the Democrat-the southern
Democrat at that-to his party. Promi-
nent Democrats in Kentucky are actually
boiling the ticket and refusing TO vote
for the party nominee for governor be-
cause he has, they say, gone back on the
platform. Who ever heard of Demo
Graf. having any interest in his party
platform before, after its adoption. If
they had shown the same regard for
their Chicago platform of 1892 that they
now evince for the Kentucky platform
they might have been saved much of the
trouble which is rending the party not
only in the blue grass country but in
many other places. Meanwhile Repub-
licans are getting their full measure of
enjoyment out of the situation.
