CLOUD LINING.

The free-silver people have been re-
ioicing over the demands of Japan on
China for the sum of $4OO, ,OOO, 900, which
which 1t was asserted would be paid in
silver, and that this would cause sharp
rise in silver. 1t was even asserted that
the raising of this sum by China would
deplete the civilized worlds supply to
such an extent that the white metal
would go to par and perhaps even to a
premium. Their dreams have been
rudely shattered, for instead of the sum
named, Japan will be satisfied with one
fourth of it, or $1O0,0OO,0O0.
OF course the drawing of that sum
from Europe in a lump would affect the
market slightly but not permanently. If
silver is to be again made a full and free
legal tender, it must be because there is
some more substantial reason for it, than
the urgent necessities of a single nation
caused by the settling of war debt. 1t
must be because the civilized nations of
the world have need of it, instead of the
uncivilized. 1t must be because not one
country, but the money centers of the
WOrlQ WanC III as TeOoInpClOu mOH0y
and desire it placed upon an equality
with gold.
We confess to being "on the fence'' on
the silver question, and we are in that
inenviable and uncomfortable position
because we are unable to determine
which side of the controversy is correct.
We have read arguments that to us
seemed unanswerable at the time, only
to find later like arguments on the other
side of the question. Besides this we
have read some of the veriest rot on both
sides that was almost enough to condemn
either. The fight is on. however, and it
is going to be brought to a finish. 1t is
going to be the issue in the next presi-
Dental campaign, and as far as the
question can be settled in this country,
it will be settled next year. We are
firmly convinced that the experiment of
free-silver will be tried. that the fame
has been kindled and must burn itself
out. We hope the experiment may
prove satisfactory, for if it proves other
wise the hard times of the past two years
will be continued indefinitely.

TO WooLMEN.

There is being agitated on the coast
the question of preparation of wool for
market. Fruit men know well that the
manner in which the product is handled
and the character of the package has
much to do with the selling. Ordinary
fruit put up in first class shape will out
sell the best fruit put up in slipshod
manner. 1t is being argued that this is
true of wool, and trade journals East and
West are advocating the exercise of more
care in putting up the clips to submit to
the sharp inspection of Eastern buyers.
The argument becomes more potent to
the American wool grower when it is
suggested that he must meet competi-
tion from great variety of foreign wool
being handled in this market. 1t has
been and is coming in from all quarters
in unexpected forms, and the manu-
facturer has several kinds to select from.
Under this condition of things it is more
necessary than ever before that the do
mestic wool growers should pay greater
attention to the way in which they pre-
pare their woods for market. Says the
Wool Reporter: '"This matter of the
preparing of woods for market is again
attracting the attention of trade and al
though several have adopted the sugges-
tions given by us in previous seasons as
to the method of putting up wool. there
is room for great improvement in this
respect. If the domestic grower is to
hold his own in competing with foreign
woods, it is absolutely essential that he
should keep out the tags and stuffing,
and that the fleeces should be rolled
loosely, and tied, not with big, rough,
coaree-fibred twlne, which leaves splint-
ers in thefeece, but should not be tied
more than twice each way round the
fleece

around the country. We can see no
more respectability in asking for hand
outs by the individual who has gambled
that he could become successful hobo,
and the doing of the same act by Weary
Watkins, who tackles the job from sheer
laziness. The man who starts around
the world without any clothes on ought
to be compelled to finish his trip without
additions to his wardrobe. The woman
who is silly enough to emulate the men
fools of this kind is, if anything, worse
than the idiotic male. We are tired of
reading the same old chestnutty stories
about fakes of this kind, and would
much rather give aid and assistance to
the highwayman, who holds up a train
at the risk of his life, than to the degen-
crate specimens of humanity who per-
ambulate the country, trying to hold up
the people with a wretched fake. There
are genuine tramps enough now, and
the encouraging of the species by anna
teurs is not needed.

One can hardly pick up newspaper

MADE THEM NERVOUS.

4 Bear walked In = Ye1toWstoNe Hotel
and Mingled with the Guests.
At the hotel which was located at
the Upper Geyser Basin, but burned
last winter, there was last summer 4
big black bear who slept under the
house, and became SO tame that the
guests fed him, and one evening the
porters enticed him into the hotel Office
with sugar. He came in, walked
through the big lobby, smiled at the
telegraph instrument as though he
understood that it was clicking mes
sages back to the great cities OF Amer
lea, and the walked to the front door
gazing out at Old Faithful, and hesita-
ting about his return to the pine woods
beyond. This playful prank of the
porters was, however, enjoyed more
after bruin had gone than while he was
in the hotel.
The guests, who had no fear of him
out at the garbage box or around the
grounds of the hotel, were somewhat
nervous when he took possession of the
big lobby, where they were sitting
about the big, open wood fire, talking
about what they would do if q bear
should walk INTO the hotel. They sat
like statues, and Manager Howe, who
had fed bruin from his hand outside,
felt that this was closer acquain t.
ance than he desired to cultivate.
He thought the bear might next move
on the dining-room and play the part
of the bull in the china shop. Mr..
Haynes, the official photographer Of
the park, sat near enough to the door
to lay his hand upon bruin, but he did
not attempt to get his picture, though
he had been waiting years for bear
to come up and sit for his photograph.
The kodak enthusiasts were too nerv-
ous to even press the button and get a
snap shot. They all felt more COM
Portable when the bear walked out the
front door, across the veranda, and ont
across the lawn to the pine woods.
Manager Howe told the porters
that while he wanted to keep
on friendly, and even intimate,
terms with the bear. he did not
want him to infringe the rules against
dogs being allowed in the parlor or
dining-room, and bear, gentle and
friendly as he might be, could not be
allowed privileges not given to the
dogs.
That bear, says the Chicago Inter
Ocean, still haunts the Upper Basin,
but the hotel which sheltered him has
been burned, and Mr.. Howe has only a
lunch station there now, but he finds
him out at the garbage box just as be-
fore

WANT TWO sMoKEsTACks.

Russian Jews Refuse to Travel on vsssA
Equipped with But One.
A steamship ticket agent on the East
side whose business is chiefly with Pol
ish and Russian Hebrews who are
about to return to their homes tells Of
popularity of his customers, says the
New York Tribune. No one of them
wants to travel on q vessel having only
one smokestack. Somehow these peo-
pie have an idea that ship is not safe,
handsome, comfortable and speedy un-
less she has two or three stacks. Their
passage costs them only twenty dollars,
and they are not solicitous about baths
or the decorations of their quarters,
but on the point of q single funnel they
are as firm as q rock. A great many
passenger steamships have only one
stack. Some new ones in which the
ly roomy and well ventilated have no
more, and the returning Poles insist
they will not travel on them. The
ticket agents feel no compunction
about assuring their customers that the
ship on which they are going to sail
has three ''rochers' (smokers), as the
Hebrews call them, and even point to
q big picture of her on the wall, which
serves as the likeness of any vessel
which may be talked of.
When the man and his family arrive
at the pier on the day Of sailing there
is likely to be trouble when he dis
covers that his ship has only one mis-
erable smokestack. Sometimes the
people refuse point-blank to go on
board, and say they will wait for
steamer with three smokers" An eff
fective subterfuge has been invented
for such cases. Solemn assurance is
given that the ship has three or four
smokestacks, but that all but one short
one were taken down so that the ship
could pass under the Brooklyn bridge.
AS soon as she got out to sea the ad-
ditional stacks would be put in place
and she would speed proudly on her
way. The ignorant East slider doesn't
know that vessels passing to sea from
the Hudson river never get within two
miles OF the bridge, and takes his fami-
lv on board. What he says and does
when he learns that he has been de-
ceived does not bother the ships off,
GERS particularly.

TWO LOST LETTERS.

How Postal 'Omo1A1D oc Times AxO C0a.
PEELED to Uss Their Wits.
An English merchant was advised by
his agent that check OF six hundred
pounds sterling would be sent to him
by the next mail, says Mr.. Baines in
his Forty Years at the Post Office" It
did not come and the merchant et once
made complaint at the post Office. The
postman on that route was called in by
the postmaster, and, in answer to ques-
tions, said that the missing packet was
duly received and delivered. He re-
membered it distinctly Its shape, col
or and postmark As his habit was he
had poked it under the house door,
with two other letters and newspa-
per. The merchants wife had picked
up three packets and was positive there
had not been fourth.
The postmaster went to the house
and examined it carefully. Then he
looked into the back garden. His eye
lighted on litter Of puppies. A
thought struck him.
s'Have the dog kennel cleared out,
please"
ssNonsense! Why?"
Kindly have it cleared"
.'Well, if it must be. Thomas, take
out the straw"
On the floor of the kennel, torn into
hundred bits, lay the missing letter
and check. A current of air along the
passage had blown the letter about.
The puppies, naturally enough, had
pounced upon it as plaything and had
had good time.
A merchant complained of the loss of
a letter mailed from his office contain
ing some hundreds Of pounds in Bank
of England notes. Finally an expert
from the post Office department called
upon him.

RAvAoEs OF GRAIN SHUTS.
Means Of Prevention Outlined by the Agra-
cultural College.

Means Of Prevention Outlined by the Axra-
cultural College.
The ravages OF the grain smuts are
reviewed and the means of prevention
outlined in a, report of the agricultural
department. The oat smut, which is
found throughout the United States
and is known on every continent, prob
ably has the widest distribution of any
of the species. The official estimate of
the direct loss from it is eight per cent.
of the crop, or about eighteen million
dollars annually. Sinking smuts in
wheatflelds cost the country many mil
lions of dollars annually. Sometimes
fifty or seventy-1ve per cent. Of the
heads are smutted and the sound grain
is so contaminated with the fetid spores
as to be nearly worthless for flour and
worse than useless for seed. The dis
ease Is often spread from farm to farm
by thrashinR machines. When once
introduced, If left unchecked 1t in
creases year by year until . large per-
centage OF the crop is destroyed. The
loose smut usually causes loss Of ten
per cent or more of the wheat crop,
and has even been reported as destroy
ing over ffty per cent. of crop In
Michigan. It Is very difficult to pre-
vent, and ordinary treatment has little
effect. Wheat growers are urged to
try to secure Sod wheat from Aelda
known by careful examination ct -four
ing time to be free fpom loose smut It
can, however, be combated by treating
rough wheat to furnish seed the follow
ing year. Both the common and hid
den forms Of smut can be eradicated
with equal ease, and by treating seed
oats oat growers can save many mil
lions Of dollars annually. Oat smut
can be eradicated by two newly-dis-
covered treatments OF the seed by use
Of potassium sulphide and hot water.
Hot water Il also advocated for Grad
icating loose smut Of wheat and barley
smut and copper sulphate for wheat
smut. The hot water and potassium
sulphite seed treatment result In an. In
