AleXandrite.

A popular but rare stone of recent
discovery is the alexandria, which
owes its name to quite peculiar series
Of condolences. On the day of the com
ing of age Of the Emperor Alexander of
Russia the discovery Of a new variety
OF mineral was made i'll the emerald
mines of the Catherine mountains. This
stone varied in color from emerald to
the darkest green, having often red
dish tint. Its especial peculiarly is
that, when exposed to artificial light,
Its color changes entirely to beautiful
red. As green and red are the national
colors of Russia, and in commemorative
honor of the day on which the stone
was discovered, the name alexandrite
was given the mineral and the custom
lnaugurated Of submitting all the finer
specimens to the emperor for his selcc-
ton before dealers are allowed to pur-
chase. New York Dispatch.

FARMING AS a PROFESSION
Many Things That Can BE Raised For Aha

Prosperity and pleasure from farm.
life require that you aim first to raise
your own food and sell only to cover
the balance. Begin with tine idea simply
of independence and not of wealth. Ir
Is the best ambition The rich man does
not enjoy as much as the independent
man. TO do this you must raise fruits
as well as what are called main crops.
Fruit constitutes half or more of a goo,!
diet. My own children have never eaten

think meat an essential to strength,
says f. p. Powell i'll The Independeut.

long eyesight.) We can raise apples.
pears, plums, cherries, currants. berries.
grapes, and these, with eggs. chickens.
beans and milk and vegetables, viii!
cover nearly all family needs for the
table.
Begin in a very small way. 1t is an
age OF splurging and plungirg. Do not
begin that way. Keep accounts and see
that one hand washes the other. Every
farm should have its study department
as we'll as its dig department.. There are
geology, botany, entomology, astronomy
all at home for you. Why send the boys
OF to learn something else? You think

fathers studied SCOTS Comments
ries." Then divide your farm work so
that part of it shall be experimental.
Pick up facts as well as potatoes. Then
have shop and laboratory. where all
the finger wisdom in the family can be
developed and muscle wit be encouraged
1t will pay in cash and pay in indie
pendence and pay in pleasure.
What l mean to emphasize is that
home should be big enough i'll spirit to
make elbow room and brain room for
the boys and girls. There is no reason
why they should feel that home is too
narrow for them, and they must get

Professor Sloanc's Life of Napo-
lcon," in The Century, takes up the
Collapse Of the Western Empire" In
describing the end of the grand army
after the battle of Dresden, Professor
Sloane says: The night of the 9Th was
spent i'll INDIGESTION as to any one or all
of these ideas, but in active preparation
for the retreat. Any contingency might
be met or a resolve taken when the ne.
cessity arose. During that night the
emperor took two warm baths. The
habit of drinking strong coffee to pre-
vent d1owsiness had induced attacks of
nervousness, and these were not dimin-
lshed by his load of care. To allay these
and other ailments he had had recourse
for some time TO frequent tepid baths.
Much has been written about mysteri-
Gus malady which had been steadily in
creasing, but the burden of testimony
from the eMperor's closest associates ut
this time indicates that in the main he
had enjoyed excellent health throughout
the second Saxon campaign. There were
certainly intervals of self indulgence
and OF lassitUde, of excessive emotion
and depressing self examination, which
seemed to require the offset of physic-
al stimulus; but, on the whole, natural
causes, complex, but not inexplicable,
sufficiently account for the subsequent
disasters.

The National Board of Trade at
Washington, have appointed commit
tee on one cent letter postage, who have
adopted, unanimously, resolutions re-
garding the lowest practicable rate for
mail service.
In the opinion of the National Board
OF Trade, the existing laws governing
the various rates in the Postal Depart
ment have outlived the purpose for
which they wee originally designed,
and have become manifestly unfair, be-
cause against one class of the commune
t. by charging an exorbitant profit, and
favor another class by performing the
same service at one eighth its actual
cost.
That one cent letter postage would be
profitable to the Government is notably
shown in the ENTHUSIASTICALLY re-
port for 1890. where it is demonstrated
that in that year the revenue from letter
postage amounted to $4,000, goo. while
the cost was only Ss,OOO,o00, leaving a
profit of $50, 0OO, 600. from letter postage.
According to this report had letter pos
tage in that year been reduced to one
cent, there would still have been a profit
OF Sll, 000, 600.
In view Of the fact that book publish
ers are in business to make money, just
like 0ther manufacturers and tradesmen,
it is difficult to see the justice of charg-
ing the book aud magazine publisher on
" one cent a pound for the mailing of
his product, when nearly al other pro-
duets, many of which are of equal value
to the community. are charged at the
rate of I6 cents per pound; while for the
mailing Of letters 80 cents per pound is
charged.
We trust the efforts in behalf of the
one cent letter postage may meet with
the success they deservedly merit, and
the committee may have their efforts in
behalf Of such reduction rewarded.

TIE Chicago cattle market fell off near
" half million beeves last year. Chicago
dealers explain this away by attributing
it to the drought that prevailed in the
northwest during 1893. 1t requires
three years to tit beef for market.
The drought burned up the feed in the
northwestern states, aud farmers were
obliged to sell calves aud grown ami
mails for what they could get. 1t left
shortage in the beef market for 1879.
This partly explains the case, but there
is another cause which Chicago stock
dealers are Ioath to admit. 1t is that
st. Louis aud Kansas City are making
such rapid strides in beef Strengthening
aud live cattle marketing that they are
sensibly affecting he Chicago trade.
