COr0 Smut.

QUESTToN.-Es there any remedy to
prevent the corn smut, which, it seems
to me. is increasing in the last few
years.
ANS%ER.-The remedies for corn
smut FAUST necessarily be of preventa-
tive nature, because from tie fact that
the disease enters the plant When
young. spraying with Bordeaux mix
ture and other fungicides will do little
good. Experiments on this line have
been made and the results have con.
firmed this opinion On investigation
it will be fonnd that when the diseased
corn is left in the field or on the ground
1t Will infect succeeding crops, and also
that while smutted corn fed to horses
may not be very injurious to the ami.
mails, the spores will be distributed in
the manure and will work a great
amount of damage. To arrest the dis.
ease it will pay to practice rotation of
crops, and also to destroy as much of
the smut as possible before it comes To
maturity. Cut off the smut balls and
bury or burn them before they burt
and scatter the spores broadcast. Biz.
sey SAYS: "Where. domestic animals
are allowed to eat smut in the fie. i,
they become the carriers of the spor.s
and their droppings, filled with the still
living spores. become the centers of in
lection. No animal should be permit
ted to eat smutted corn. even though
the owner be convinced Of its harmless.
ness to the animal itself. The harm
lies in the distribution of the spores,
which are little il at all injured by
passing through the alimentary canals

Egyptian Gotten.

QUESTION. there any need for un-
easiness as te Egyptian cotton? Is not
all this agitation about its interfering
with our long staple cotton gotten up
for political effect?
ANswER.-The cotton trade of Erypt
Is iEcreasing very rapidly. The number
of pounds has nearly doubled since
lS19-the first year in which we had
official reports. In 1879 Egypt exported
2Te, O6O. Sl3 pounds. The official report
for 1896 is the latest, and gives the
amount as 521, 427.463 pounds The
price has fallen steadily from IA 95 cents
in 1880 8.97 cents in 1895. Our first
direct Iimportation Of Egyptian cotton
was in 1884, and its use here has i'm
creased very rapidly. In 1896 We ina.
ported directly frem Egypt 1854, 76o
pounds. This amount, added to that
which was received through English
channels, increased the total to about
$4,000, 900 pounds. or about 100, 600 bales
American cotton. In view of these
facts our growers of Sea Island cotton
have felt much uneasiness. The presi.

They Love Dante.

A magnificent upper chamber of the municipal palace (the Palazzo Vecchio) in Florence is set apart in memory of the great poet Dante. To it each of the 80 provinces and all of the larger cities and towns of united Italy have con- trlbuted banner in his honor. There are over 300 of theso banners 1n all, and the donors, in eager emulation, have tried to make each offering more beau- tifnl than the others. The banners are of the differing colors of the provinces and bear their arms in exquisite em- broidery or in paintings by the first liv- ing artists
 The fervor of the homage paid here to the immortal Italian poet stirs the heart of even the passing stranger. Whatever tho jealousies or arrangement of these people, beside his tomb they are united. Youths Companion.

DEPARTMENT STORES.
The Prominent Part That Profuse Adver
 Using Plays In Their suooess.

The Prominent Part That Profuse Adyer.
 tising Plays In Their Success.
 Aside from departures in policy and innovations on large scale, tho original lty of the department store is largely supplied by two departments, to some extent correlated. These are the adver. t1slng department and tho window dressing department. One is the itera. ture of tho great stoIo, the other it's art. The shop windows are great stimulus for the department whose goods are dis played in them. A good showing will Often wonderfully increase the sale of the stock as well as attract customers to tie store who are new to it. Frequently the head advertising man is the general manager of the store. Whether this is the case or not, he is a general supervis- or of the establishment, with q complete knowledge of its ever changing detail. Every day he holds consultations with heads of departments to find out what particular lines of articles they want boomed, and about those articles he writes alluring statements for the shop ping public to read, sometimes arrang- ing for illustrations with them.
 Tho amount of money spent for adver- Using is appalling when looked upon as an expense. One great store in Philadel- phia spends on an average LOGO every day in the year, and good many spend $500 day. The advlrtising receives probably more of the personal attention of the head of the house than any other department. The head of the firm which expends the great sum just mentioned personally suggests and frequently writes the leading lines in the daily an- nounoement. The proprietor of a great store ill Brooklyn does this invariably and thinks the time we'll spent which the work daily requires The mall de- partment tends to enlarge this expendi- ture, as the store reaches out to the ut most parts of the country, and the fu- ture will no doubt sec an even greater development in the effort to secure mail customers ill the small towns and in country places.

It's stout trunk shaned frame On tho outside is mounted in polished yellow pigskin, bearing silver initial disk on the lid, silver hinges, locks and re-enforoements about tho corners.

Electric Railroad Statistics.

Electric railways in Europe formed the subject of some interesting statistics recently embodied in a report sent to the United States government by Vice Consul J. r. Monaghan, at Chemnitz, Germany. According to these, the num- Der of such railways was increased during the year 1895 from 70 to III, while tho total length was raised from about 435 to 560 miles, the number of cars from 1886 to TAT, and the horse power from a little oyer 5000 to a lit tic over 25, 000 Of all the European countries, Germany, according to Mr. Monaghan's figures, stood at the head, with about 250 miles to her credit, and an equipment of 857 cars and 7.194 horsepower. The other countries fol- lowed in the order given below:

Down in ono corner is eoiled a small rope, loosely woven of every type, color and material of Iaces. Q box of assorted buttons, spools of silk and waxed shoe threads, and a cobbler's needle, thimble and scissors, but the lower tray con. tains the articles of particular interest.

 Now the way to derive genuine bene, fe from a foot box is to use it every day, and the result will be not only addi- tionaI beauty of person, but physical comfort. Every morning the feet ought to be slipped in a basin of warm studs, dried with crash towel and then, after the soles have bit of cold cream or listerine rubbed into them and the nails manicured. lightly use puff full of violet talcum powder At night very nearly the same process ought to be re- peated, and then, if the feet have been really driven out of shape by two small, short or pointed shoes, take hint from the contents of the bottom tray of the foot box and put them in corrective bandages for tho hours iB led. -Milli- cent Arrowpoin5 in Chicago Record.

TIlo Miniature Craga.

The miniature craze has taken the artistic woman by storm, for she has always loved portraits, and this year may go around like q walking photo graph album. Her belt buckles, her brooch, the back of her ehatelaine watch, even her glove buttons and lorgnon handle, may be set each with minia- ture. It may be Q likeness of her father, her mother, her husband CT lover, or her dearest eill fsieRd, or it may be merely the picture of some old beauty dead and gone. As a rule, the girl who wears it doesn't much care. So long as she is keeping up with the fashionable procession she feels that she is perfectly all right and the rest doesn't matter.

was educated in Denmark, and writes
and speaks English flucntly. Sho has been
interested in temperance work since the
first day sho heard OF II, and when the
Order OF Good Tcinplars found its way into
Iceland. twelve years ago, she was the first
woman to join 1t. She says that was the most
energetic act she has ever done in tho cause OF
