Pretty provoking to have your clothes give out few weeks before the end of the season. Most new-can't withstand the temptation to buy new clothes at that time, thus doubling the cost of the sea- sons outfit.
 You should buy clothes that cost just enough and wear just long enough-buy our clothes, and get results that always please.
 Suits that suit, for from $4.5O to $1 500.
 Clay Worsteds at $1O, that are bargains.

Governor Morton signed the Greater New ' ork bill Monday and it is now law. This means that the counties ofNeWY ork, Kings, Richmond and portion of Queens are ito form one great city by consolidation. The Greater New York will have pop area of SIS square miles. The bill does not immediately consolidate New York and Brooklyn, but provides for commits sion, which is to report to the legislature on the first of next February and suggest plans for the government of the new municipal corporation, as we'll as to secure uniform taxation and taxation valuation for the greater city. The consolidation Is to take effect on January 1, 1898. Chicago will have to take in most of Illinois and part of Indiana to exceed Greater New York's population.
 Something like a million persons beyond It's ordinary population are expected in Moscow during the approaching corona tion and their accommodation will put the city to greater stress than any to which 1t has ever been subjected. The prices for lodging of every kind have advanced to figures which seem absurb and fantas- tic, but there are no lack to takers, even at these extreme rates. Nor does it seem in any way possible to provide quarters, even of the most limited and improvised sort for the great multitude which the occasion will call together. Every pro- vince in the Empire sends delegation, and every tribe from the desert of Central Asia and the far-of provinces of Sib eria j; from the Khivans to the Esquimaus along the shores of the Behring Strait, sends one or more representatives to present the homage of their respective tribes to the great White Czar, who represents to them the earthly symbol of omnipotence, and the highest expression of mundane glory. Besides this every civilized coun- try in the world will be officially and un- officially represented there, swelling the pageant to wider and more cosmopolitan proportions than any which could be wit messed elsewhere in the world. The iourneyers thlther to witness the display will find the expedition costly one, and good many of them will have to put up with narrow quarters, and perhaps some what rancid cuisine with savors of f1shoil, eaviare and garlic, but the show may be worth the expense and the privatiOn.

For some years. MT. Hood has been rais- Ing on his Farm, Jerseys of the best breed ing and individuality. The placing of this superb stock on the market cannot help being of great benefit to farming and dairying interests, generally. About forty animals were sold. It was a noticeable fact that the top prices realized were for the younger stock which was bred at Hood Farm. MT. Hoods herd of Jerseys still number 250 head, and he also has on the Farm over 100 head of thoroughbred Berkshire pigs.

The Journal ventures the prediction,
based upon what is repres ented to be
the British tenacity of purpose in hang
ing to all the gold fields it can grasp,
that the present Canadian parliament
now in session at Ottawa will provide
ways and means for the construction Of
the Port Arthur, Duluth & Western
Railway from it's present terminus at
GunAint Lake to Mine Centre, and pos
sibly to Fort Frances, the present year.
It can be set down as settled that
those people are not going to be caught
mapping with possible war in sight and
have no protection for these valuable
gold fields. That is not the British way
of doing things, and their activity in; get.
ing their defenses in order over the line
is further pointer that railroads will
not be neglected or overlooked, and for
that reason, if for no other, the work on
that railroad will be hurried to compile
ton to the point indicated, even though
the American connection is delayed be-
tween Gunhint and Ely. ~ ,.s

of the Canadian parliament, it of course

worth. For 45 years she was the stay

HOW BEADS ARE MADE.

rs2ne RI the Oldest and Most Interesting 81
the Minor ARTS.
Chinese arc tho Oldest beadmakers in
che world. They have made beads SO
long that even their historians do not
mention a time when the industry was
not ancient. And tho Chinese today dc
tho work just as their forefathers did,
and the styles are exactly the same.
After the Chinese no people are SO ez-
pert as the Venetians. AT present there
are more than 1000 workmen in the is
land Of Murano alone who are engaged
In beadmaking. The few lnanufa
in other parts Of the world have all
learned the secret Of tho craft in Venice.
For beadmaking there must be rope
walk conne,tod with the glass factory.
A rope walk is a narrow, straight gal
lery $50 feet long and so situated that
the middle is not far from the furnaces
in which the glass is melted. The first
process is the making Of ordinary tubes
like those used in almost every drug
etore Two brawny workmen with bare,
brown arms seize huge wedge OF the
metal, . as the molten glass is5called,
between their bloWpipes, and after it
has been blown hollow they gradually
stretch it out into long, swinging rope.
When it has been reduced to the prop
er size for the beads about to be made,
1t is laid away to cool, after which q
workman comes along and II a wonder.
fully deft manner chips it into frag-
ments Of uniform SIZE Often for small
beads these are not much larger than a
grain Of wheat, but so carefully is the
work done that the little cylinders are
rarely cracked or spoiled.
The pieces are now picked up by boys
and placed in tub with sand and ashes
and stirred up carefully. In this way
the holes in the embryo beads are stuffed
full, thus preventing the danger of the
sides aattening together when heat is
applied. They are next placed in skill.
let-just such a one as the housewife
uses in frying eggs-and stirred over d
very hot fire until the ragged edges
where the pieces were broken from the
tube are rounded, giving the bead a
globular form. II
As soon as they are cool the ashes and
sand are shaken ont Of them in sieve,
and then they are separated according
to size by other sleeves. They are taken
next to a long table around which
whole flook Of boys and girls are sitting
If the glass is colored, as it often is, the
piles Of beads on the table suggest a
rainbow, with every hue, from jet black,
through red, green, yellow and blue, up
to white.
Each child has needle and thread,
and by long practice tho beads are
placed on strings with almost incon-
ceivable sWiftness. And the children
keep an exact count, too, so. that the
manufacturer knows just how many
beads he is sending out, The Threads
