formed in the air, the troupe of beauti-
full Oriental dancing girls, the strange
disappearing demons, the wandering min
strels and German band, will be brought
here in their entirety. In other words,
Birmingham will witness the wonderful
spectacle precisely as New York and
thoseother large cities have seen 1t.
Even the famous Brownie Man." Pal
mer Cox, will direct in person the three
performances here.
In 'The Brownies the funniest char
acters ever seen on the stage are intro
duced Those quaint, whimsical crea-
tons of Palmer Cox, THE Brownies"
with their big pop-eyes, round smiling
faces, fat stomachs and spindling legs,
are known to nearly everybody. Hereto
fore they have been seen only in the
pages of the magazines, but in the great
extravaganza they are living, brea thing
beings, who are so comical that their very
appea rance creates roars of laughter
The Dude Brownie, the Chlnaman Po-
1iceman, Dutchman, the sailor and fully
thirty other distinctive types are shown,
and they experience all sorts of mishaps
and adventures. In one of the twelve
elaborate scenes they are represented on
raft in mid-ocean. A storm follows,
the raft goes to pieces, and the Brownies
are left struggling on the waters. A
huge sea bird, swooping from above,
seizes the excited Dude by his trousers
seat and bears him struggling up into
the air. In another scene the Brownies
undergo the horrors of an earthquake
and volcano.

Some Suggestions Which May BE of

Many dropping flowers will freshen
wonderfully if the tips Of the stems are
trimmed off and the ends are then
held in hot water for few minutes.
MarshmallOw stuffed dates make q
delicious after-dinner sweet. Remove
the pits from the dates, fill the space
with marshmallow, and roll the dates
in powdered sugar. One marshmailow

When ore is hurried in mailing Il let
ter, and the only available postage
stamp is found TO be without sufficient
glue, moisten the stamp. rub it on the
gummed flap of an envelope, and
quickly press it in place upon the

When making corned beef hash
moisten it with little beef stock, if
you have it, in place of water. y pinch
of sugar added with the salt and pep
per helps to bring out the flavor.
In ornamenting summer cottages a
bare corner may be made very eff
fective at trif1ing cost. Secure an
empty nail key from Il hardware store,
cover it with ebony paint and gid the
hoops. Partly fill the key with sand
to give it weight, and fasten piece of
board over the top little larger than
the kcg. Place it in the vacant corner
and cover the wooden top with fringe
trimmed square of pretty silk or Gre
tonne. Stand an unused ginger jar
or a cheap effective vase upon this ped
estal and fill it with grasses, dried ferns
and cattaiIs.
To stiffen sheer handllerchiefs, laces,
wash silks or any other thin fabric it
is best to use gum arabic starch. To
make it put into bottle one ounce of
gum arabic and pour over it one cup
of cold water; stand the bottle in q
dish of cold water, and place it over the
fire until the gum is dissolved; then
strain it through Il fine sieve or piece
of cheese cloth into another bottle.
When it is cold put in a half gill of alec
hol, and it will keep and be ready to
use when needed. When dainty laces
are to be stiffened half teaspoonful
of the starch, mixed with a small cup
full of the water, will give the lace
ample stiffness, adding larger
amount of the starch as it is needed for
different fabrics.-N. Y. Sun.

DIAMONDS FAILED.

Prot. CrooI1e Thought He Could Make
Them, But Could Not.
Many ambitious alchemists have
spent time and money in the effort to
produce diamonds, but one, only one,
has had the courage to come before an
audience and show how it could be done.
Prof. Crooke lectured at the Royal
institute on diamonds. After an eX-
haustive talk on their origin, be said:
and now I will make diamond"
He gave instructions to his assistants,
and it seemed to be the easiest thing in
the world. What you have to do, he eX-
planned, is to iquefy carbon, and then
compress it, and there are your dia-
monds.
So he placed some pure iron in Il
crucible, with q little charcoal for
sugar, and put the crucible in IN cleo
trio furnace. The highest ten. perature
which scientists can measure is 5000
degrees. which is so times hotter than
sweltering summers day. In that
crucible the heat was beyond the limit
of accurate measure. The switch was
turned, a binding flash Of light filled
the room, the apparatus became hiss
ing, splitting, DEVILS caldron. The at
PENDANTS wore blue spectacles and
gloves. Ladies put up their fans TO pro-
tect their eyes from the terrific glare.
The furnace spat out molten metal like
the sparks from a squib. The heat was
kept in, or the room would have been
unbearable.
'.Now," said the professor, 1.-The cru
chile has been in the furnace for five
minutes. l shall take out the iron and
plunge it in cold water. The OF Ter skin
will contract around the central liquid
with pressure of from Is to 20 tons to
the inch. Under that pressure the
liquefed carbon will crystalline, and in
fortnight there will be diamonds"
| The cover was removed, the caldron
Missed more furiously than ever, and
and the professor turned to the audi
! ence with a discunsolate look.

Business Outlook as Reported by
Schwartz, Dupee & Co.
CHICAGO. Ill Sent. 81 !

CHICAGO, Ill, Sept. y, 1897.
The bears have no success in their
efforts 10 depreciate the value of wheat,
the reactions thus far having been spas
modic with a sharp upturn in every in
stance.
The history Of the past month is that
whenever wheat has been beaten down
to the vicinity of the 90-cent mark the
resultant buying has been of such a
character as to quickly take the market
away from the selling element and force
them to buv back at good advance the
wheat they sold. 1t was so last Satur-
day when wheat fell to 90 on non-sup-
port by its friends, which encouraged
short sales. The rebound was to 925.
Today there was determined effort to
break the price, and under these condi-
tons it broke to 91s. Then buying
orders came into the market and they,
together with reports of large accept
ances by Europe, sent the quotations to
49, in no time
This inherent strength of wheat
should be most gratifying to the farmer.
Heretofore he has been compelled to
accept a price range of from so to IS
cents in this market, but now the mini
mum value seems to be 80 cents, with
the average range for the last thirty
days several cents above that price.
The statements made in this CORE
spondence in regard to the general sit
uation as evidenced by reports from
this country and abroad to Schwartz,
Dupee & Co. have been more than full
filled. Wheat having risen from IS
cents to $1,00 and holding firm above 90
cents since the top was reached.
In regard to the present situation in
corn it may be said that the recent de-
cline was due far more to liquidation by
weak holders than any change in the
statistical position of the grain. Best
estimates are that the crop will not ex-
ceed l 10000 bushels, while the Coy
ernment figures were 100000, 900 bushels
higher. The relative positions of wheat
and corn are such that close observers
figure corn too low just now.
Provisions recovered quickly from the
yellow fever scare, and with the excel
lent cash demand now existing it is
plain that a vast amount of money must
be paid out in the west for its products
of this sort rs well as for wheat and
corn. That the present excellent prices
are not believed to be fictitious or tenn
porarv is shown Ill the continued adj
vance in the securities Of western roads
Northwestern, Burlington, st. Paul and
Rock Island have gone steadily upward ,
more than meeting the expectations of
their friends, and it is not often that
Wall Street is so thoroughly in accord
with the west on matter of such great
importance. Undoubtedly the wheat
acreage of the world will be increased
during the next year, and with good
crops this will lead to lower prices, but
as to the present supply of breadst uffs
the outlook is most hopeful.
