Tells of Australia.

Washington, Nov. 3O.-"FrOm what
/ have seen Of the United States on
this 7ait, which is my first, I am
heartiN delighted with the country
and the people," said Mr.. r. T.
ThoTDburg, well-to-dO, pleasant
spoken gentleman from New South
Wales, to reporter.
"Of all the Australian colonies New
South Wales is perhaps the most enter
prisiDg and progressive. 1t is a free
trade colony, and do not believe the
people will ever care toexchange that
policy for protection. We tried pro-
lection for awhile and found it
wanting. With US there is no duty
to speak of, except a tax on spirits
and tobacco. Our direct taxation is
a near approach to the single tax
theory of Henry George, aud though
it has not been long in force, it works
so well that there is no doubt Of its
permanency.
"Under our law the tax is laid on
land irrespective of improvements.
This diSCOurages the holdings of
realty for an advance in price brought
about by the labor Of Others. It is
absolutely fair and just and the
people Of New South Wales are
heartily in favor of the principle.
There is also an income tax of pence
ia the pound on all incomes in excess
of G2OO per annum. At first the
Objection was made that people would
be- taxed both on their lands and
incomes where the latter was derived
from the former, but this is not so,
only one assessment being made in
such a case.
sin many things the Australians
have copied from your countrymen.
and are vastly indebted to the United
States. In a great many things you
are ahead of US, but | think in other
matters we manage better. Our
railways, for instance, that are the
property of the government, are
operated more in the interest of the
people than are yours under private
ownership. They are absolutely di.
VOrced from politics in the Australian
colonies, and conducted on strictly
business principles, a reform that
came by reason of putting the lines
under control of commissioner. The
telegraph system is also governmental,
and wonder why that is not the
case in the United States.
Son the whole, while we have what
you would call a paternal government,
its practical results have been, in
the main, very satisfactory. We have
a large back country in which water
is a scarce commodity and our
government, in order to benefit the
condition of the settlers. set to work
digging arteSian wells. This has
proved a great success, and large
tracts formerly arid are now capable
of Skporting sheep and cattle. Does
the fact that the government paid
for the wells make them one whit less
benefcial?"

A PO?ULlST VICTORY.
How the Party's Hopes and Desires Were
Advanced In the Recent Campaign.

How the Party's Hopes and Desires Were
Advanced In the Recent Campaign.
To the Populists it has been a grand
victory. For 20 years they have been
working to get the financial issue fairly
before the country, and it Is the issue
beyond any question, and all are ready
to acknowledge that it is a redaot issue
there is nothing like it, nor has there
been for many years. 1t was not merely
silver. Every campaign orator has been
making Populist speeches or anti-Popu-
list speeches. The volume of money is
a greater issue than mere silver, and
the speakers have also arrayed them
selves either on one side for high prices
or on the other for low prices. This has
been the Populist hope and desire.
McKinleys election cannot open the
factories with a wand; neither can he
do so with any form of legerdemain or
tariff. If there is anything in conf
denCe whatever, times will be a little
better the coming year, for if the mon
ey comes out Of boarding it will help
some, but there will be no enduring
prosperity. The only prosperity we can
see will be in the issuing of a large
amount of national bank notes under
the present law, and it is not probable
the bankers will do this. If it were
done, the notes would have the same
effect upon times as the same quantity
of gold or silver would have.
Many have feared that if Mr.. Bryan
did not carry this election the plutocrat-
ic or monarchical interest would en-
croach upon the people at a rapid rate;
that they would become exultant, saw
age with victory and crowd the people
to the fartbest limit Of endurance.
Though we may have thought so for
some time such does not seem TO be the
indication at present The probabilities
are that the senate will still be with
the Populists. 1t will stand as a bull
wark for the next two years and pre-
vent further encroachments on the peo-
pie. They may allow Mckinley to have
his full swing on tariff-they ought to
at least and permit him to demonstrate
to the people whether the factories can
be opened with the tariff bill or not
but no more bonds, no more military.
In two years a new congress will
come in on an "Off" year, and we will
have enough votes for free silver and
other friendly interests to wipe the plu-
tooratic slate as with a sponge, and in
four years there will not be enough
states left for a gold party to keep up
its name.-Joliet News.

Hints ON Photography


The first thing to be considered is the
arranging of the camera so that it will
be exactly perpendicular with the pict-
nre. A copying stand Is n great con-
veniencc, not an actual necessity. A
vertical support, with the drawing or
picture placed in such manner that
its center shall come to I'm exact line
with the center of the lens Is all that is
required. A board the width Of the
bed of the camera, and perhaps five
feet in length. will answer every pur-
pose Of a copying stand. At one end of
this board fastcn n small piece Of
board in such way that it will be ut
exactly right-angles with tile long
board. The small board is the support
for the picture. The camera either
rests on the board, or is raised a little
above it by n small block, the adjust
Meut depending on the size Of the Dict-
ure to bc copied. TO find whether the
center of the lens corresponds with
that of the picture. place the camera
quite near the picture, thread n piece
of silk through the center of tho lens
cap, place the cap on the lens, ana car.
rs the string to the center of the pipt-
ure. In this way one can readily see
whether the two centers correspond
with each other.
In copying a black and white picture
we want no half-tones or shadows, so
that If the paper has grain it ,1ust
he placed in n strong front light. An
ail-round illumination, which can be
had by using the apparatus out tf
doors, is the best lighting, as there is
no possibility of shadows.
The most suitable plate for copying
black and white picture is the brand
called "photo-mechanical' If these
plates are not easily obtained, use g
very slow plate.-Harper's Round Ia

Frills Everxwhere.

Ribbons and laces, embroidery and
tinsel-and frills-and the greatest Of
these is frills. At least, such is the
case just now. They are everywhere.
A charming bodice, for instance, owes
pretty nearly all its charm to its row
and layer after layer Of fluffy, killed
frills. Without these there Is really
nothing very remarkable about the
bodice. 1t has q foundation of white
brocade, frightened by broad yellow
stripe. This forms the bodice proper,
and the somewhat short, but by no
means voluminous, sleeves. Over the
bodice is jacket of rich yellow lace.
embroidered in gold and edged all
around with wide but graceful
flounce. At the throat the jacket de-
ve]ops into rolling lapels. These are
in part of bright miroir velvet, upon
which the gold embroidered lace Is ap-
plique. Then the frills appear. Their
material is pale pink and pale green
chiffon, and in tw0-fold quantities they
edge every available outline of the gar
ment. At the waist the miroir velvet
reappears in q narrow belt, ending at
one side in smart bow. The hat
Worn with this bodice is worthy Of
comment. 1t is more turban in shape
than anything else, although it sits
well forward upon the wearer's head.
1t is composed of artistically draped
| white chiffon and jet ornaments. Sew
eral perky loops Of black ribbon and
two huge Ospreys, one black, one white,
complete the trimming. At the back q
mass of blush roses nestles against
the wearer's hair.-New York Sun.

Cotton Seed Meal for Swine.

In this land Of happy production we
need not trouble ourselves very much
about cotton seed meal rs food for
our swine. Minnesota corn, wheat,
oats, barley and rye are likely to prove
more serviceable to us in making pork
for many a year than cotton seed meal
from the land of cinnamon seeds and
sandy bottom." But no harm can come
from understanding something about
its feeding value. The idea has gained
currency that this food, if fed in sutfi-
cient quantities, will kill pigs That
does not seem to be the view of G. A.
Carey Of the Alabama experiment sta
ton. He thinks the alleged instances
reported of death from cotton seed
meal are misleading. In his opinion
it was not the cotton seed meal that
caused death so much as cotton seed
meal fed in an improper condition. He
locks upon mould and similar inf1u-
ences as being responsible for these re-
suits. In any case, however. it is evil
dent from the reports of hazard in
feeding cotton seed meal to swine, that
1t should be cautiously used until we
know more about it. And in this
northern land of ample and varied
food production we can in the mean
time get along quite well without it.

A Test of Winter Turf Onts.

I herewith send you my experience
with winter turf oats. About Sept. Is,
1904, 1 sowed two bushels of winter
oats ON new upland or white oak fiat
land. The following winter being rath-
er severe they froze out badly, and at
threshing l had eight bushels of oats
and four bushels of cheat Last year
qS95) sowed four acres Of winter
oats on the LIST day of September, on
the best Of bottom land; sowed one
bushel of seed to the acre. They came
up and completely covered the ground
before winter, and grew well all win
ter, and by the last of May they were
four feet high and looked as if they
might yield an immense crop, but there
came rain with wind any they went
down in mess and never got up any
more. 1t continued wet, and finally
backwater got over a large portion of
them. We cut some of them with a
moving machine and laked, and fed
them as hay, the most Of the grain
having shattered out. Some Of my
neighbors have grown them success
fully on rather poor land, getting as
high as forty to sixty bushels per acre.
but we find them very hard to keep
anything like pure. They so readily
get wheat and rye mixed with them,
and they seem always to have more or
less cheat mixed with them. Some of
my neighbors have pastured them boil.
in the fall and early spring, with no
visible damage to the acreage yield. I
think they are best adapted to rather
light soil and require early seeding,
not later than Sept. 1. They seem to
grow very much in punches, and stool
out wonderfully. Their time of ripen-
ing is right along with wheat, and I
look at them as superior to spring oats,
as you can get them in better condition
and can harvest and thresh with
wheat.-D. NJ. Lett in Indiana Farmer.

PAID AN ODD WAGER.
Glad in Garments of Childhood

Ol3d In Garments of Childhood, /,
They Parade the Streets.
About ten years ago boy and a
girl were talking to each other about
love and marriage, ana each was en-
phatlc In the assertion that the other
would marry first. So they decided to
make q wager, of which the terms
were that the one who should first wed
should celebrate the event by parading
the streets clad in the garments they
then wore.
This appeared very satisfactory to
both, as each was positive that the
other would be the first to pay the
penalty.
The wager, Of course, was kept a
profound secret outside the circle Of
intimate friends.
A short time ago the pedestrians on
Chestnut street were greatly SURPRISED d
and amazed to behold a tGll n,a:l .:lai
in a very comical costume. lie wore
a pair of very tight ,rols..rs, which
did not reach his knees, AM II rair ut
black stockings, which We're equally
wanting In length, to cover his low er
legs. His jacket was so small tna.. 1t
was bursting all over with the strain
Of its contents, and over all was 4
round schoolboy's cap, perched Oh the
back of his head. 10 add to the mys-
terry of the situation, the curioaaly
grOOmed man was followed by q very
pretty young woman, who was SINH
larly garbed in clothing that must
have belonged to some child Of long
ago. Not much could be seen, how
ever, of her costume, us she wore a
long wrap. The reader will readily
guess the explanation Of the strange
illlitiOn.-EamilY Call.
