A FEW WORDS ON BICY-
Giles AND CUTLERY.

In a Coast, newspaper de-
voted to the bicycle business
we read that dealers in bicy-
cleS are authority for the state
ment that the business aspect
of the bicycle trade has mate
rally changed during the past
year. Instead of the main
business consisting in dealing
with mems wheels, quite the
contrary is true. Dealers are
now doing their utmost to
attract the eyes of the women.
All of which shows that the
ladies are taking very kindly
to bicycle riding all over the
world. And it is the same
here, the demand for ladies'
wheels is continually increas-
ing. We have received five
of the TRIBUNE LADIES'
WHEELS on this steamer and
have more on the way. These
wheels are of this years make,
direct from the factory, no back
numbers, and have all the latest
improvements.
We have also a number of
Tribune racers and gents road
sterS, and a number of "Zim-
my" wheels. This is an en-
tirely new machine, named
after the great rider, thinner
mann, and we shall be pleased
to explain its merits to in
tending purchasers.
But we started in to say a
few words on CUTLERY, of
which we received an i'm
menSe assortment on the Aus
tralia, which is now unpacked
and on exhibition. In table
cutlery we have an immense
variety in new and elegant
patterns and all sizes. In pock-
ct cutlery we have a number
of new designs. Knives to
cut lead pencils and knives to
trim your finger nails with, and
knives to cut down your ex-
penses with. We have prun-
ing knives which are just the
thing for the members of the
Legislature to use in cutting
down the appropriation bills,
and some suitable for the Ad-
vertiser man to do his Cheese
pairing" with. In fact we
have all kinds of knives, large
and small, light or heavy, but
all of them of the best quality
and manufacture.
We have carving knives
with ivory, buckhorn or bone
handles, butcher knives, skin
ming knives, knives with cork
screws in them for camping
out or staying at home. In
fact we have all sorts of knives
suitable for all sorts and con-
ditions Of people.

Is That So.

Like everything else beer can
be made in various ways. Some
brewers are constantly figuring
on how cheap they can brew. OF
course they sell their product at a
very low figure, but is it pure?
Is it healthy? Seattle beer is
brewed from the very best hops
that are grown. A visit to the
Criterion Saloon where this
beverage is on tap will convince
you.

Truth Abou, Kasf,r Corn.

There having been all sorts of glowing
reports published lately regarding Kaffir
corn and to cad some of them one would
naturally suppose that this plant would
flourish on land that is never moistened
by drop of rain. This is not so. In a
good corn country it will not equal corn
in grain but it will make better fodder.
1t is good crop, however, and can be
planted closer and later than other vare-
ties, and will stand more dry weather and
poorer soil. When the hot winds kill the
tassls of the more common varieties of
corn, with the Kaffir corn the bloom at
the worst is only blighted and with a
change OF conditions growth proceeds and
new heads are produced. The record Of
an experimental farm in Kansas shows
that in seasonable year Red sKaffir
made II bushels per acre, while in dry
year it made but 10, and White Katfir
but 6. To summarize it will produce a
good crop in some places and some soils
where corn is light crop, and fair
crop under some conditions where corn
fails. 1t should be an especially good
crop to try on such sections as the Cowy-
chez and the lower Horse Heaven coun-
try.

New styles OF Collins.

New York Sun: Collins are now made
OF aluminium. Like the modern square
burial casket, the aluminium coffin is
made Of uniform width, with square
ends and vertical sides and ends. 1t is
finished with heavy molding around
the bottom and at the upper edge, and
with pilasters at the corners, and has a
rounded, nodded top. 1t is provided
with extension bar handles. The alumni
mum casket is not covered, but finished
with the metal surface FURNISHED. 1t is
lined In the usual manner. The weight
Of six-foot aluminium coffin is 100
pounds. A six.foot oak casket weighs
about 100 pounds, and a cloth casket
Of the same size, with metal lining, about
l75 pounds. Other metallic caskets
weigh from $50 to 500 pounds, The
cost Of aluminium collins is from $3.50 to
$1,000.
A coffin Of new design for children ia
called wicker casket. 1t is in reality
q copper casket with covering of
wickerwork. This covering is OF rattan,
closely woven except for open spaces
around near the top. Painted white and
vanished, it has in some degree the
appearance Of porcelain. Around the
base there Is wide roll or molding OF
wickerwork. The ends are octagonal,
and at the angles there are little posts
which rise above the upper edge, where
they support some simple ornamental
wickerwork that runs also for a little
distance along each side. The open
spaces near the top are for ribbon, If
1t should be desired to place one there.
The copper casket, which is lined with
silk and lace, has glass top, with an
oval wicker cover. For interment the
wicker casket is placed in the usual
manner in hardwood case. This casket
is intended for children twelve or four
teen years OF age. Such caskets are
sold at from 1925 to $500. according to
size and finish.
A burial casket of recent design is
made to open at the side, as we'll as on
top; one side drops on hinges. 1t is
especially intended for young women.
When such casket is used the boiy
is disposed upon the side, as though ly-
ing upon couch. These caskets are
covered with cloth or plush and lined
with silk or satin; they cost from sl75
upward.

EGYPTIANS WERE FOND OF BEER.
The Egyptians Also Were Acquaint-

The Egyptians Also Were Acquaint-
ed with the Art of Brewing.
James Knapp Reeve in an article on
"What Men Drink" that appears in the
February Lippincott's, says that coffee
was first used in Abyssinia in A. d. S75.
Tea is much more ancient drink, for,
according to Chinese tradition, the vir-
tues OF tea were discovered by the EN-
pevor Chinnung, 2737 B. G. Pepys men,
tons in 1860 drinking tea for the first
time. Beer ia likewise not a modern
beverage. The early Egyptians were
fond of it and Archilochus, 700 B. c.,
says the Greeks were acquainted with
the art of brewing. Whisky is of more
modern origin, for it was first made and
named by the Celts of Ireland and
Scotland in the middle of the 18th CEN
fury. The use or invention of wine is
as old as civilization it was ascribed by
the Greeks to the gods.
The ancient Britons knew no drinks
except water, milk and mead, not
very dangerous intoxicant, but the
Roman soldiers introduced them to their
favorite beverages, beer and vinegar, to
which they soon became attached. The
growth of the ingredients for and
the manufacture of drinks of all kinds
give occupation to so many hundreds
of thousands of human beings that
viewed in one light, the unquenchable
thirst OF man is great boon to the in.
dustrial world.

There is a general opinion that fe "
people, especially among the young, have
enough sleep. A famous German physi
clan says that every one up to the age o.
twenty.one should sleep for nine hours
out Of the twenty-four. In middle life
people who can perform ordinary routine
work when they are half awake may
suffer no harm for time with six hours
sleep, but all who use their brains should
have at least eight hours.
There IS scarcely any ache to which
children are subject so hard to bear "a
earache. Almost instantaneous relief
may be obtained by making a funnel Of
writing paper, saturating a small piece
OF cotton batting in chloroform, and
dropping it in the funnel. Put the small
end of the funnel into the ear and, plac-
ing the mouth close to the other end,
blow into it. The fumes of the chloro.
form will quickly relieve the pain, and
II the head is kept covered the patient
will soon be at ease.
Stains OF rust may be removed from
fine linen and similar fabrics without
injury to the material. The articles
must first be we'll soaped, as II they were
to be washed in the ordinary way. An
iron is heated, and on this is laid a wet
cloth. When the heat makes the cloth
steam the rust stain is laid on it, and a
little oxalic acid is rubbed on with the
finger. The heat and the moisture
hasten the effect of the acid on the rust,
and when this has disappeared the soap
ing and washing may be continued.
Lamps should be filed every day,
chimneys washed once week, and new
wicks provided every month. A little

Horse. with False Tails.

New York Sun: There are perhaps
half dozen horses in New York that
have false tails. The horse so provided
is generally fine animal, perhaps
fine carriage horse. 1t may have been
provided by nature with poor tail. or
II may have lost it's own flowing tail in a
fire. 1t is easy to bet tail to match.
A small portion of hide is removed with
the tail, and when this has been cured
the tail is provided with straps and
buckles on the under eide to hold it to
the tail of the horse that is to wear it,
and the hide attached is stitched to the
crupper of the horses harness. The fact
that the tail is false would not be dis
covered except upon close and careful
inspection. The tail is taken off with
the harness.
Horses are occasionally provided with
false names, in the same general manner,
and sometimes with false ears.

LILAC E.uEson's hteceht OtteFahCess
Lady's Pictorial: Apropos OF war, it
is to be hoped that the reported interview
with Mr.. Edison upon the subject of
electrically blowing whole armies and
navies into atoms is at least exaggerated,
If not wholly a product of the festive
season. Visions of the horrible whole

legged internal inventions electric

very Nightmares of science, and call up
grim and CHASTITY pictures of scenes such
as Wiertz might have dreamed for an
illustrated Inferno" II Mr.. Edison
really said that. in the case OF war be-
tween England and America, he would
give his whole time and energy to his
country-in other words, to the produc-
ton of those diabolical inventions-he
ought to be denounced as the prime enc
my of the human race. Could j. be with
these devilish inventions in his mind
that one of the Vanderbilts declared that
a month after the declaration OF war the
whole seas would be as bare OF English
vessels as the palm OF his hand? War,
at its best, is brutal, and a disgrace to
civilization-for of what value is our so
called culture if we can only settle dis
pute by brute force-yet, when weapons

same effect upon wages as would
famine of money. The substitution of
the abundance of labor and labor's
products-the old over-production
theory-for the scarcity of money, in
seeking the cause of low prices and hard
times, is the economic fallacy of the age.
This is the lie that money monopoly has
stuffed down the threats of the worlds
producers. No man in his right mind
except the plutucrat-has fewer wants
than power to supply his wants; no
man, except the aforesaid plutucrat,
labors but that he may supply his wants.
1t is a saying as old as history that
mans desires outrun his ability to sup
ply them. Hence, increased labor, under
normal conditions, means increased de-
mands for labor's products. In the
nature of things low prices cannot result
from an oversupply of labor. Too much
labor is an absurdity. And the cause Of
the low price of labor, and its products.
in the face of the unsatisfed wants of
labor millions, must be found in the
short supply of that in which they are
measured-money.
This result agrees with the declarations
of the best and wisest statesmen our
country has produced. It agrees with
the teachings of history in every case
where an intelligent insight is given into
the economic affairs Of any people.
But the American people have been
afflicted with more clap-trap on this
subject by the monopolistic press than
on any dozen other subjects that could
be named. Only one class of people have
been considered worth listening to on
the question of money-those who had
cornered it all and we're determined to
let none of it get away. And except
what the campaign heelers corrall none
oft ever will get out among the people
to perform the much needed public SER
vice of reviving industry, so long as we
take our financial economy from those
whose fortunes grow by usury, the FORE
closures of mortgages and the wrecking
of industry. This subject will be con-
sidered further in our next ISSUE
