A LAUGH IN THE CHURCH.

She sat on the sliding cushion,
The dear wee woman of four;
Her feet in their shiny shippers
Hung dangling over the floor.
She meant to be good she had promised ::
And so, with her big brown eyes,
She stared at the Westinghouse windows
And counted the crawling flies.
She looked far up at the preacher;
But she thought of the honey bees
Droning away in the blossoms
That whitened the cherry trees.
She thought of the broken basket,
Where. curled in dusky heap,
Three sleek, round puppies, with fringy
ears,
Lay snuggled and fast asleep.
Sush soft, warm bodies to cuddle,
Such queer little hearts to beat,
Such swift, round tongues to kiss,
Such sprawling, cushiony feet
She could feel in her clasping fingers
The touch of the satiny skin,
And a cold, wet nose exploring
The dimples under her chin.
Then a sudden ripple Of laughter
Ran over the parted lips,
So quick that she could not catch it
With her rosy finger tips.
The people whispered. BLESS the child"
AS each one walked from a nap;
But the dear, wee woman hid her face.
For shame, in her mothers lap.

A FRENCH SECRET.

The French process proposed a short
time since, and already successfully an
piled, for coloring iron and steel a dead
.black-at the same time insuring a su-
perior appearance. as well as permanent
cy-depends, it is explained. upon the en-
ployment of a peculiar kind of fluid, the
formula of which is given as follows:
One part bismuth chloride, two parts
mercury bichloride, one part copper
chloride, six parts hydrochloric acid, five
parts alcohol and fifty parts water, these
being mixed together in a thorough man
ner. In order to secure the most salts
factory results-the article to be treated
being first made clean in every respect,
and free from grease, the preparation is
applied with swab or brush, or better
still, the object may be dipped into it,
the liquid being allowed to dry on the
metal and the latter then placed in bell
ing water and the temperature maintain
ed for half an hour. If, after this, the
color is not so dark as may be desired
for the purpose, the operation is simply
repeated the required density being thus
easily attained, and, after obtaining the
desired degree Of color the latter is fixed
as well as improved generally by placing
for few moments in bath of boiling
Oil and heating the object until the oil
Is completely driven off.

able to reduce the primary money of the
world from about eight billions of dol
lars, down to about two billions and one
half, and as result Of such contraction
of the circulating medium, destroy one
half of the value of all properties other
than gold, what will it not be possible
for these men to do in the next five
years?
It is absolutely self evident to any per-
son who will examine the details, that
real property, in Minneapolis for exam
pie, has shrunk quite one-half since 1890,
and that is liberal estimate of time
A personal illustration will be pardon
able at this time; because it is to the
point and one with which every citizen
is familiar:-In 1892 Mr.. George a.
Bracket was the owner of six hundred
thousand dollars worth of real estate,
almost wholly improved, in the city of
Minneapolis.
The proof of this assertion lies jim the
fact that the New York Life Insurance
| Company. Of New York City, loaned
three hundred thousand dollars upon
this property, between the years Of 1891
and 1893. Every business man knows
| that these companies do not loan in ex-
cess of one-half Of the actual valuation
| of the property at the time the loan is
made.
When the city, state and country were
overcome by the great disaster of 1884,
it happened that Mr.. Bracket was un-
able to meet the interest account upon
these mortgages, and they were foreclos-
ed. The property has since been sold to
satisfy those mortgages. There is not a
money lcaner On the face of the earth
who would give Mr.. Bracket ten thou
| sand dollars for his right to redeem the
above named property, which must be
done during the current year, or Mr..
Bracket loses his entire rights therein.
We might go further and say that no in

THE SALMON CATCH.

The salmon run in the Eraser and CO.
lumbia rivers this season has been ex-
cellent. and 1t is declared by the oldest
fishermen on the rivers that the quality
Of the fish was never so fine. The weight
Of the salmon is increasing yearly, and
this year averages fully rs pounds per
salmon. Buyers and distributors say
that a large proportion of the public
gun to be consumers of canned salmon, q
result ascribed to the recent innovation
of packing perfect steaks of the fish in
oval cans. About 100000 cases of Column
bia river salmon have been bought for
the British Isles this season, as against
$4,000 casese last year.

vestors in real property can be found in
this country, or any other. who will pay
over three hundred thousand dollars for
these properties.
The advocates Of the free coinage Of
silver" believe that this loss of fifty per
cent of a fortune of six hundred thou
sand dollars, by one Of the most estim-
able and patriotic citizens who ever lived
in Minnesota, IS largely if not wholly due
to the overthrow Of silver as primary
money, the consequent reduction in the
circulating medium, and finally the
boarding and curtailment of gold-the
only primary money now known-to
that extent that it's purchasing power
has already been more than double.
On the contrary the advocates Of the
free coinage of silver as sincerely believe
that if the bi-meta;ic standard were to
be re-adopted by the United States gov
eminent tomorrow, that in twelve
months from this date Mr.. Brackets
property would sell in the market for
six hundred thousand dollars, just az
quickly as 1t would have done in 1890.

NORTHWEST WHEAT PROSPECTS.
Stocks of wheat at Minneapolis and
Duluth are now nearly 100000 bu more
than they were year ago and are de-
creasing at a little faster rate than they
did last season at this time, which is
about a million per>week. The receipts
since the beginning of the crop year
have been about 100000 more than dur
ing the same time last year. Thus with
5000, 900 greater receipts stocks have in
creased 100000, showing that grinding
and shipping has just about kept apace
with receipts at the two points.
The results have been quite uniform
but it is safe to expect more rapid de-
crease from now on until the beginning
of the new crop year. This If continued
would leave about 10, DOC. 900 in store at the
two points at that time. The amount
of wheat required for local use during
the next crop year will be approximately
as follows: For seed and to grind in the
interior. 900 bu; for Minneapolis to
grind As, 000, 900 bu and for Duluth-Supe-
rior mills 20000000 blu. total $1,000, 900 bu
To leave the 100000 in store from the
total amount required for local use leaves
the $4,000, 900 of the new crop to be put to
local use.
Then, out of a prospective crop of
1855. 000, 900 in the Northwest, as present
prospects would indicate only $4,000, 900
will be used at home. leaving $4,000, 900
to be shipped, allowing that the country
will hold practically the same amount
then as at the close of the present crop
year.
With $4,000, 900 blu of wheat in the
Northwest available for shipment it
would appear that the demand from win
ter wheat millers would have to be pref
ty good TO hold spring wheat relatively
at the high price sustained during the
last crop year. Between now and har-
vest about the only thing that can ad-
vance the price compared with other
American markets would be damage in
these three state that would be severe
enough to indicate q much shorter yield
than is now expected.-Market Record.

GRAIN CROPS IN EUROPE.

The outlook for grain in Europe ac-
cording to the latest mail advices is on
the whole hardly up to the average Of
late years. The average sown to wheat
is cut down in France and in the United
Kingdom. In Germany the rye crop is
likely to be short owing to winter dam
age The extensive fields of Russia cover
vast territory and are necessarily uneven
in prospect. Latest reports from North
ern Russia are not flattering, while the
regions about the Black Sea and the Azof
are said to give good expectations for
the outturn Of wheat. The condition of
the wheat crop in France is at least fair
and in many portions good, but with the
short acreage the yield is estimated to
fall some IS. 060, 900 bu in prospect below
ed to reach the average for the last half
crop in the United Kingdom is called
somewhat indifferent, which with less
acreage indicates lower production than
usual. Holland and Belgium prospects
are good. The late rains in Hungary
were beneficial to the spring wheat and
the condition Of winter wheat is not so
bad as was at one time thought Dam
age to the rye crop is admitted to be
rather serious. Heavy rains have done
great good in Austria, while Bulgaria
and even Turkey give good reports In
Italy the prospects are not Of the best.
but in Spain they are reported salts
factory. Viewed all around the prospect,
i've yield in Europe is somewhat below
last year for the principal good grains.

THE IVORY SUPPLY.

Ivory to the amount of 5S3,177 pounds
was sold last year in Antwerp, which is
now one of the principal markets Of the
world for it. Six years before in 1885,
only 14.109 pounds were sold there. There
is no fear Of an immediate exhaustion
of the supply, as the nativoAfricans still
hold large quantities..

gently andsgave her advice about the af-
fairs of the farm, but no effort of hers
could make him open his eyes or move a
limb.
AS before, at irregular intervals, he
awoke, sat up in bed and drank milk,
but on these occasions he gave no evil
dence that he remembered what had
transpired or what he had talked about
while asleep His spells of wakefulness
never lasted more than three quarters
of an hour, and there were frequently
10 weeks between them.
The peculiar power Of foresight clair
voyance, or whatever 1t may be. has
grown upon the man, and he Is now put
to use by farmers and curious persons
who are DESTROYS of knowing what the
weather Is going to be or what the flu
ture holds for them. There are hundreds
of men and women living within a radi-
us of % miles of Ringoes whose faith in
Stipple's ability to correctly forecast
events is solid and firm as the hills. Peo-
pie come from far away to have the man
tell what is in store for them. and the
contributions of money from that source
has enabled Mrs. Stipple to surround
herself with all the comforts of living.
1t is evident that Stipple knows moth
ing of what he does in this line, for when
he is awake he takes up the thread of
existence at exactly the point where he
dropped it a few weeks before. He has
now been in this condition for 30 years,
and whenever he becomes conscious he
asks if John is doing the chores and in
qures about breakfast.
Hypnotists, electricians, Christian
scientists. herbalists, homeopathists
and quacks have done their best to
change the condition under which Slip
pie exists, but without effect. His life
apparently stopped when he went
through the ice with his BRIDE and there
is no hope of his ever coming out of the
trance, sleep or whatever it may be I'M
til he dies. and up to that date the
chances for his living out the full string
of years accorded to man is good.-Phil-
