them ahead of all competitors for the
trade that will develop there. Finally
she will ask for a good round sum of
money. The war will cost her, perhaps,
$150,000,000. She will want a money
profit on the investment; 1870, 900, 900 Is the
sum oftenest mentioned in the surmises
that have been published. No one can
say what will be the result of these
extraordinary demands. 1t is thought
that Russia will not permit the estab-
llshment of a. Japanese force at Port
Arthur, and that England will not per-
init Japan to acquire Formosa. II these
beliefs are well founded, the enormous
possibilities of egotistic persistence on
the part of Japan can be seen by the
reader. They are terrible and compli-
Gated They renew the earliest fears
that were aroused when the fighting be-
gan in Korea last August at which
time it was aid that possibly the long
delayed struggle Of the European armed
camps would be begun in Asia.

1t was twenty years ago that natur-
al gas began to be used in the Pittsburg
iron district, and the first rolling mill
to resort to the new fuel has been the
last to abandon it. The gas no longer
figures to any extent in manufacturing
in western Pennsylvania. Joseph d.
Weeks has made for the United States
geological survey an estimate of the
value of the coal displaced by natural
gas, and taking this as a measure of
the consumption of gas it is found that
by 1885 $45O0,000 worth was used in
Pennsylvania, and consumption steadily
increased until 1888 when the maximum
of $19,2S2,375 was reached. Since then
the decline has been as rapid as the adj
vance. The largest consumption Of nat
rral gas in Ohio was seen in 1889 when
it measured $5,215,OOO in value and in
1893 1t had fallen to $1,510,0OO. Indiana
is now the center of the natural gas
flow, the amount consumed there having
risen from 100000 in 1886 to $5,71S,OOO in
1893

Unto a sweeter day.

For when see thy face

No low desire, no word Of gnile
Nor passion insincere.

HOW TO PREPARE TRIBE.

I will tell you how I saw it done
more than ffty years ago in my fathers
house, writes an old housekeeper. Ny
sister did the work and I helped n lit
tie. The beef's paunch is carefully
emptied, turned inside out and laid in
a tub, and the opening sewed up with
a large needle and linen thread. Then
air-slaked lime is thoroughly sprinkled
all over it, special care being taken in
sprinkling the honeycomb part. I am
not sure how long the tripe lay before
it was tried with broad-bladed table
knife to see if the lime had loosened
the inner lining of the tripe, but I
know my sister watched it, and as soon
IS it scraped white and nice looking,
it was scraped thoroughly, rInsed sew
eral times and set to soak over night
in plenty of water with a handful OF
salt in it. l remember seeing my
sister add more lime sometimes-per.
hops the lime had been slaked too long
and l am sure she was careful to
cleanse it Just as soon as it was loos-
ened. 1t would "set" If left too long.
I think the next morning the stitches
were cut and care was taken to see il
any part had been neglected, and then
the knife was used again, the tripe be-
ing cut in pieces of the size to suit.
The soaking is kept up until ones
Judgment tells one that it is properly
cleansed and ready for cooking.
! The process is not a pleasant one by
any means, and the lime is hard on
the hands, bat something can be done
to help by pair of loose gloves. II
this is tried l wish the result might be
reported. In the days of which I speak
we made ''rol-a-chees" of the tripe and
beef, but that is custom which has
gone out of date. It is an appetizing
dish on cold winter American

Artificial Indigo.

What is known as indigo SALT is
now being introduced as the latest
substitute for the genuine article
1t is said to possess the property OF
being converted into indigo by means
of caustic soda, and, in dyeing, all
that is necessary is to treat the cot
ton in a bath of the salt and then
pass the treated cotton into a solu-
ton Of the soda The value of this
method may be estimated from the

suffices to thicken a solution Of the
salt with dextrine, print this on, and
pass the printed fabric through caus-
