The advocates Of silver have decided
on national emblem which is to be ap-
proved at the st. Louis convention and
probably ratified at Chicago. The en-
blem is an American shield, draped from
behind with two United States flags,
which extend on either side OF it, with
their ends falling below the shield, while
perched above the latter lie the American
eagle, holding In its bill ribbon bearing
the words, "No English Dictation." Up
on the shield will be the words, "The
American party--16 to l., and across the
ends OF the two United States flags, and
extending beyond them, the words, 1--WE
Demand the Money Of tine Constitution !"
below the shield and flags a ribbon par
TALLY encircling the same, arranged by
folds into three parts, upon which are the
words 'Bimetalism Means Protection"
Beneath the ribbon, and forming a semi
Gle outside the design, 10 wreath Of
laurel, while above the upper left hand
and right hand corners Of the shield are
the datee ''1776v and 1885,"

A large factory is to be started in Eng
land for the manufacture Of silk from
wood. The wonderful brilliancy of the
artificial elk makes 1t absolutely indis-
tinguishable from the silk made from
silk worms. Mixtures Of silk and wool,
silk dress material, silk braids, ribbons,
and, in fact, everything that is made from
silk can be Just as we'll made from arti-
fetal silk.
The chemist has initiated the sticky
luid, which, exuding from the silk worm,
dries rapidly into the finest gossamer.
First he prepares kind Of gun cotton by
treating cotton or wood fibre with nitro
sulphuric acid. This he stews in cylin-
ders for some hours with alcohol and eth
or, practically converting It into collod-
ion. The sticky fluid which the product
is pumped through pipes to spinning
machine, and emerges at each machine
through fine glass nipple. Each nipple
answers to one Of the pores of silk
worm.
Some ten or twelve threads are drawn
from these nipples, combined together
and spun into thread no thicker than
the human hair; IL is then IDENTIFIED
and stretched and iroued until 1t assumes
even higher gloss than the natural ar
ticle.

health has made him seek a dry climate,

ingly everything he wants in 1.-THE Garden

residence there he replied:

possibilities OF this section are greater

l have been in about every state OF the

long hot summers, tempered by cool
nights, our short, cold winters, our dry
atmosphere, our wonderfully rich soil and
unlimited water for irrigation. must make
this the most populous, prosperous and
healthful agricultural community in the
United States. As you know we can
raise about everything except oranges aud
lemons, and little larger and better and
more to the acre than they can raise any
where else. The question of transports.
ton and markets bothers us somewhat
but that will be settled 10 time. Although
we were successful in hop culture the low
prices OF the last two years have shown
us the disadvantages OF a speculative
crop and our farmers have very sensibly
turned their attention to fruit, alfalfa and
dairying as the surest sources Of future
prosperity. We already have four thous-
and acres set out to fruit trees, and this
acreage is being rapidly increased every
year.
There are five creameries running In
the county with good prospects Of others.

Gooseberries make q delicious, clear,
green jelly, quite as tart and distinctly
favored as the popular current jelly.
The method of preparing them is the
same, and just. here inexperienced cooks
should be warned that if they wish their
jelly 10 be clean and transparent they
must utterly repudiate the advice given
in nearly ell recipe books to squeeze the
fruit through bag. The only way to
make clear feckless, ruby or chryso-
phrase of Zones glasses is to carefully
stem and pick over the fruit, put in a
large porcelain lined jelly kettle with just
enough water to keep the fruit from burn
ing, and let 1t simmer gently until the
skins burst and the juice flows freely.
Let the jelly bag (of fannel) hang ready;
ladle In the fruit to let it drip without in
reference. Sometimes the skins clog at
the bottom Of the bag, and wooden or
silver spoon (never use tin, iron or plated
ware with jelly may be used to dip out
these skins. When the juice has all
dripped out--some few drops will be lost
by not squeezing the bag, but these must
be sacrificed TO the beauty Of the jelly
dip 1t back into the kettle, which must
have been well washed in the interim,
using q cup for the purpose. For each
cup Of the juice add cup of the best
granulated sugar, and this must not be
stinted, because unless there is plenty of
sugar the whole must boil for long time
before coming to a jelly, and the shorter
the time involved in the whole process
the better for the appearance of the con-
serve. II the fruit is very ripe ten min
utes is generally enough time for the
boiling, which should be fairly vigorous,
the refuse thrown up being carefully
skinned off as 1t rises. saucer set in
3 little ice water should be close at hand
and every few moments few drops of
the juice poured into it to test its condi-
ton. As soon as It shows definite signs
of jellying lift off the kettle. A pan of
hot water set beside It should contain the
jelly glasses, which treated in this way
will not crack when the hot jelly is ladled
in. Set the glasses away to cool over
night. Screw on the covers next day and
keep in dark, cool place.

Efiec, of .Bicycle Room, ON Trade.

Effect of ssBicycle Boom'' ON Trade.
The New York correspondent Of the
Philadelphia Ledger writes to that pp~sr
that ''there has been much discussion OF
late as t2 the effect on other trades Of the
big boom in bicycles. The New York
Journal of Commerce recently had long
editorial on the subject, and trade papers
generally have discussed it. Recently
the New York Journal devoted page to
the matter. 1t estimates the loss to 9th.
er trades at $l2 100000 year, and yet it
leaves out OF its calculation several items
that might with reason have been incor
porated. 1t has been generally known
that the livery business and the carriage
trade has been seriously hurt, but 1t has
lately been made known that the demand
for pianos, jewelry, watches and confec-
tionery has fallen off materially. It is
stated that less whiskey and lager are
drunk, fewer cigars smoked, and fewer
books bought on account Of bicycles.
The theatres complain that they are
obliged to close much earlier in the sea-
son because their patrons prefer wheeling
to seeing plays. One way OF arriving at
the financial effect of the bicycle craze
on different basis than that Of the
Journal is to estimate the years output
OF wheels at l 900, 10000. As the average
cost Of wheels is $75, it follows that $780,
100000 will be expended this year for
wheels, and is thus diverted from other
lines of trade. What is gain for the BIZ
cycle makers, Bradstreet's adds, is q
clear loss to other business men,"

AGRTCULTURE.

It does not make much difference
whether a good farmer buys a rich or
p9or farm. He will get the poor farm
cheap and will bring 1t into proper con
dition all right.
A leading object of every farmers
ambition should be to provide for an
old age of only moderate labor, so that
he may secure a fair living without
OVerwork and by the aid OF hired help.
Begin to plan now.
There is no more important work on
the fruit farm or garden than winter
protection, and there is 90 work more
generally neglected. Let it be done
thoroughly, after the frosts have come,
and batore winter sets in.
Il we acquire an interest in the agri-
cultural journal, such journal Will
become invaluable to us. Let US not
neglect it because we are busy. There
are hints therein, which reading to day
We will find use for to morrow.
An agricultural paper tells farmers
that they must remember that they
have a living anyhow. So do tramps,
It would seem that q man who works
hard from fourteen to sixteen hours
day, a part of the year, ought to have
more than that.
Make the farm work as light and
pleasant as possible TO the young folks,
remembering that they cannot see from
the same point as do their elders.
Routine work is tiresome to young or
old in any calling. In many ways can
the monotony be avoided
The proper time to divide lily OF the
valley roofs is in the fall. When planted
IN the spring they must be handled
without much disturbance or they Will
not bloom; but they are not tender, and
If the flowers are not considered, the
division of the clumps may be made at
any time.
Efforts will be made to establish beet
sugar factories at many points IN the
United States. We hope North Caro-
Ina will get the advantage Of one or
more, for beets grow well here. Sugar
R one of the few products of which the
Consumption far exceeds the produc
0on in this country, much Of it coming
