THE HOLIDAY TRADE.
AN ADVANCE VIEW OF. WHAT THE
 PUBLIC WILL FAVOR.

Japanese Goods show the Greatest Novel;
 ty-New Toys In Great Array-The Great
 Number of Novelties Very Noticeable.
 Public Taste Improved.
 Jobbers are now showing goods for the holiday trade. Although assort- ments are not yet complete. enough is already on view to permit q fair general idea to be formed of the selections that have been made. French china and glass ware are prominent the Austrian small wares and toys are in immense variety; German products are most mo- ticeable ill porcelains and fine textiles. The greatest number of novelties are shown i'll Japanese goods. These em- brace bamboo, porcelain and textile work i'll greater variety and opulence of design than ever before shown i'll this market. Especially noticeable is this in metal work, in which this nation is still wholly unapproached.
 The christening of taste during recent years is conspicuous when the eolors and designs of goods of every variety are compared with those that enjoyed 6 vogue but few seasons back, Among materials largely used in this years goods celluloid is even more prominent than ever, and better work is displayed. Leather goods are also noticeable in the higher qualities, the cheaper sorts be- ing comparatively neglected. The si1- yersmiths have never been represented to better advantage, the 1nore artistic forms of their work being undeniable. Ornaments for the dining table are more prominent this year and ill greater va riety than heretofore, and once more the good taste displayed in form is worthy of remark
 The array of toys surpasses that of any previous season in variety of de- signs, the number of these i'll cast iron, neatly painted, displaying marked en- terprise ill the producers. The more elaborate mechanical toys, too are gen erally in advance of those of previous years. Of some of these it is not too much to say that they are droll enough for the entertainment of adults. In short, the notions departments of the large jobbing houses begin to take on the look of yeritable fairs The retail dealer as we'll as his customer later on seem likely to be embarrassed only by the distraction of making choice among novelties of rival attractiyeness Apart from this trade view, there is matter for real self reorganization in the manifold evidence of an improved public taste and more cultivated artis- tic appreciation.

This Years Wheat Crop.

Sir John Bonnet Lawes, the we'll known English chemist and scientific agrieulturist, has issued his annual re- view of the wheat crop of 1895. He says that the chief features of the crop are the high quality of the grain and the small quantity of straw. Whatever the actual weight may be of bushel of grain grown, farmers are required to deliver 63 pounds to the bushel This year the measured bushel frequently weighs 63 pounds, and British grain will be in request by millers.
 The shortness of the straw is great misfortune, as the value of the straw is the chief reason that many farmers con tinue to grow wheat The actual i'm ports of wheat within the harvest year of 1S94-5 were nearly 24, 750,0 900 quar- ters, instead of 21, 800, ,000 quarters, as was estimated. Sir John estimates the total available supplies from home and foreign sources at 32, 333, GOO quarters. New York Sun.

SHE HAS NO FRIENDS.
England Is Cordially Hated by the Pow
 CTS of the World.

The American government enjoys amlcaple relations with all the powers ot Europe and with all the governments of Asia, Africa and South and Central America
 Our friendliness is more marked with some European powers than with others.
 A prominent English journal recently made complaint that England has not single friend among the other govern ments ill the world and that she is either disliked or hated by every one of them.
 We suppose, therefore, it will be ad- mitted by the impartial observer that the position of the American govern ment is far prouder one than that of the British government.
 The man who is hated by everybody may attribute the hatred to his own su- perlority, but other people know bet ter. They know he is insolent or mean or selfish or quarrelsome The man who lives on the right terms with everybody, or aims to do so must have more sense than the other man, and he has great advantage over him i'll life.
 It is the ways of England that cause so many other countries to hate her. She was insolent to Japan at the opening of the late war, when Japan's victories were not foreseen. She has been defiant toward China since China was beaten. She has angered the Turk by wheedling him at one time and threatening him at another. She has given France and Rus sia otfense by her grasping policy i'll Egypt, eastern Asia and elsewhere. She has excited the enmity of Venezuela by her territorial greed When Brazil was in straits few years ago on account of domestic rebellion, England incur red Brazil's hatred by threatening to lombard and seize the capital, while this country secured Brazil's gratitude by assuming q friendly attitude at the critical moment.
 England is always a great deal more presumptuous toward weak country than toward Q strong one. She will swagger or will slink, according to cir cumstances and to whom she is dealing with.
 The remark of the London Spectator, that England has not q friend ill the world. is true. New York Sun.

THE FRENCH MINISTRY.

A French View of M. Bourgeois' New Cab
 met.
 A chemist for minister of foreign af fairs, a civil engineer for minister of war, vaudeville writer for marine minister, a lawyer for finance minister, 8 doctor for minister of colonies. a Boulangist convict for minister of jus tice, draftsman for minister of com merce, with the addition of few 'ssnpes s"-such is the ministry which the Radical party has just presented to France.
 It lacks only communist to make the collection complete. It is the most absurd cabinet that parliamentarism has so far brought forth since 1870. M Bourgeois has chosen from among the politicians the very men who, for many reasons, inspire Frenchmen of good sense with the greatest distrust, as if he wanted to defy public opinion.
 President Faure allowed the thing to go ahead. He put no obstacle in the way of the realization of the hopes of Messrs. Bourgeois & Go. They cannot now accuse him of having indirectly favored the Moderates by restraining the action of the Radicals. And we have today before our eyes the result of the enterprise.

NEW SUBMARINE BOAT.
Cigar Shaped Vessel That Has Just Been
 Finished In France.

A Cigar Shaped Vessel That Has Just Been
 Finished In France.
 A submarine boat has just been com pleted by M. Goubet on the Seine for a foreign government, which, it is said, solves the problem of marine locomo- tion. 1t is cigar shaped, 26 feet long and nearly 6 broad, of bronze, and weighs l 0 tons. It is divided into three portions, and everything is arranged s0 that heavy articles can be kept in their places, so that no risk will be run of disturbing the balance essential to sta bility, the craft always keeping parallel with the surface.
 It is the immobility claimed for the boat which constitutes one of the most important features of the submarine craft Hitherto these boats have been built only to be sent down or brought up while i'll motion, but this boat, the inventor maintains, can be maneuyered ill one spot by the skillful working of pumps and arranging of water ballast so as to meet necessary requirements. A weight of ?. 300 pounds is attached to the keel in such manner that it can be got rid of at any moment.
 In the event of sudden rise to the surface being imperative, the boat would respond to the call with the lightness of cork. Compressed air contained i'll steel tubes is supplemented by caustie potas- sium and chlorate of chalk for the re- moyal of vitiated air. Thus it is cal culated that crew of three persons might stay under water from 12 to 15 hours without danger.
 It will be propelled by one horse power electric motor at speed of nine knots. For boat capable of accommo- dating 100 passengers only 25 horsepow- CT would be required. The boat has been constructed for naval purposes and ma terial for letting off torpedoes by means of compressed air through the simple pulling of trigger is provided. Trials of the boat were made in the Seine few days ago. Special Gable Dispatch to New York Sun.

Governor Mckinley Quits Smoking.

Abner Mckinley, New York attor- ney and brother of Governor William Mckinley of Ohio, was recently i'll Pittsburg on legal business. He said :: "The greatest piece of news know of is not in the line of politics. My broth CT, Governor Mckinley, has actually quit smoking. His fondness for the weed was proverbial, wherever he is known, but he thinks the habit has had a bad effect on his nervous system. and on that account gave it up, although the effort was almost superhuman. He experiences bangs yet when he meets q man with a good cigar or even all indifferent one. y -Pittsburg Times.

A Historical Farm Sold.

The farm known as the fold Temple farm, on the York river, at York town, Va, has just been sold to gen tleman from Columbus, o. Next to Jamestown, Va, the Temple farm is the most historical and i'll ways the most celebrated of any farm in the United States. It is the farm on which Lord Cornwallis surrendered to the combined armies of Washington and Lafayette Oct 19, 1781. A portion of the buildings then standing still remains. The farm contains about 800 acres and was sold for $45, GOO. The present owner proposes to make his permanent residence there New York Times.

In speaking Of the early chapters of Gen.

To light, now nearly 20 ago, by Mr.. George
Smith, are quoted, and 1t Is shown how
the narrative Of the first chapter of Gene
sis Is dependent upon it. Even the Sab

different conception Of the order Of crea-

Automatic Dry Earth Closets


The marble quarrics which arc 400 or
800 in number, are situated far above the
town, in the midst of the grandcst and
most savage scenery. The soft aerial huos
which distance lends to the mountains
disappear ON nearer approach. The great
peaks stand up against the sky In fantas-
tic forms. No trees or vcrlurc clOthc their
naked sides, no flowers grow, no water
flows to fertilize that soil The 5000
quarrymen who are busy here appear as
ants crawling ON the vast hillsides The
marble Is quarried by dynamite. Every
moment explosions rond the air, and huge
fragments fly up as II expelled from vol
cano. Often the mine has to be placed in
the peiIs molecular face Of prccipice.
Then the workman is lowered by rope
and hangs suspended, like the samphire
gatherer, 'twixt earth and heaven; u
dreadful trade" About 100, 900 tons of
marble are annually exported, of which
much goes to America. The quantity is
inexhaustible. The entire mass of the
Monte Sagro, b, 600 feet high, which domi-
mates Carrara, is solid marble
One of the most famous quarries Is in the
valley of the Polrpccio From this We're
extracted in Roman times the /, 700 tons
of marble that served for the construction
Of Trajun's column ut Rome. Here Don
atello got the block which he carved into
his St. George, and Michael Angelo the one
for his Moses. From here also came the
huge block mentioned in the memoirs Of
Benvenuto Cellini, which served for the
colossal Neptune of Ammanati in the mid
die Of the fountain of the Piazza della Sig
noria at Florence. Unlike the miner, who
burrows underground he works in a
binding glare of light. The fierce heat of
the Italian sun beats upon him In sum
mer. The cold blast Of the trlnontana,
rushing from the georges of the Apennines,
chills him in winter. Constantly exposed
to danger, seeing his companions killed
and wounded by his side trained to rapid
action and with every faculty of mind and
