These oats would cost the city not less than seven hundred and fifty dollars if they had to be bought.
 This is not all, for two cuttings Of hay will be made from this same land, which MT. w. Lee Ellis, who is in charge, estimates will produce some thing like thirty-fve hundred bales, which would cost the municipality easi- ly three thousand dollars,
 The city has more stock to feed than is generally considered. Taking the fire department, the sanitary squad, the street force and all, not less than fifty mules and horses must be fed by the city, and all of this provender, raised under Farmer Lee Ellis supervision, is a direct saving
 Mr, Ellis, in speaking of the matter, says: "The cost of operating the farnl is practically nothing, except for labo, needed in blowing, planting and har- vesting. The stock must be kept any, way, and, With the number needed to do the city's work, all that is necessar in the cultivation of the crops we l'is e can be done when the animals would te idle if not thus employed We use all the fertilizer made by the city stock. Outside of that We have spent this year just forty dollars for the commercial article"
 From measured acre of the ely land last year there was cut at a single cutting tifty-four hundred pounds of fine hay. This was after forty-busa- el crop of oats had been harvested, and early enough to make certain another cutting of hay before frost.
 Up to the time that MT. Ellis beg Tn to cultivate the citys farming land it had been the custom to rent it out aor five dollars an acre. Its annual p 'o- duct now Is estimated at over sixty dol lars an acre.-Macon Telegraph.

7'If E BRYAN ROOM.

Itcannot fairly be denied that Bryan's
 boom for 1900 is just now in good work
 ing order. Evidence that 1t is is given by Representative Joseph w. Bailey, of Texas, who has been regarded by
 some as having aspirations and pros-
 poets. MT. Bailey says: "We should commit ourselves unreservedly to the
 adoption of the Chicago platform, with
 out qualification or reservation. It will be impossible to dissociate MT. Bryan from that platform. He is part of
 the fight of 1896, and to adopt the plat form of that year and refuse to nomi-
 nate Mr. Bryan would be a serious mis- | take" MT. Bailey referred to the fact
 that he had differed from MT. Bryan in many of his earlier opinions, and stated that he had resisted the adoption of
 the fiat money plank in the platform, to which Senator Tillman was also op-
 posed, although few persons remember | that fact to his credit. Since his nom-
 nation" said MT. Bailey, MT. Bryan has kept himself, in everything that he
 has said and done, strictly within the limitations of the Chicago platform,
 and that platform is good enough for
 me or any other Democrat to stand
 upon"
 Three years is a long time. but if now
 appears that it will not be too long for
 the life of the Bryan boom if Bryan lives. But with a new tariff and mone- tary reform the country can stand it.

 It is to such accessories that ingen- ious deyisers are now turning their at tention. Not that the gowns are neg lected; indeed, they are already trim med almost up to the limit of possibil- ity, so that almost the only chance for further tasteful elaboration must come from accessories. Take the gown shown herewith; it would be foolish to make it carry more trimming, but the cape, jacket or filmy wrap to go with it is quite another matter. This dress was sketched in lavender barege, and it's fanciful skirt trimming was black chantilly lace spangled with jet In the bodice lavender taffeta was cov- cred with narrow lavender chiffon frills, wide vest of white chiffon spangled with gold and black being left in front Five chiffon ruff1es supplied epaulettes for the wrinkled sleeves, the collar was white satin and chiffon, and the belt was from the barege.
 One thing to be remembered in con- nection with unelaborated dresses is that the fancy weaves of canvas and light mixed cloths cannot stand the strain of being put into a tight fitting bodice, no matter how carefully the ln- ing may be selected Such material should be modelled into loose bodices or boleros. The triggest gown is no longer pretty if the material begins to give at the seams. If this does happen you can only resort to gimp or ribbon strapping of all seams This, unless the gown was originally so planned, gives a patchy look to a dress, espe- cfally to one of mixed color, and many fancy Weaves are mixed color. Broad cloth, ladies' cloth, stout serges and the many materials classed as tweeds and suitings are likely to hold their surface no matter how great the pull at the seams, and of such materials the tailor dress should be made.

MID AND MICKOBES CONQUERED. Those who have had the privilege of
 drinking unadulterated and unfiltered
 water from the Mississippi river know that it is a most discouraging combina- tion of mud and microbes. They will also be surprised to read that it can be made "clear and sparkling" But the report Is that this is done at Daven-
 port. Iowa, by what is described as the best filter plant in the world. With the Altering plant 7,500,000 gallons of
 this muddy fluid is daily made as clear and as sparkling as spring water. At the point of the river from which the water is drawn the Mississippi has a current of about five miles an hour, and dashes over the Rock Island rapids, giving it complete aeration, oxidation | and dilution, all of which tend to it's notification. The sand used in the fil- l ters is brought from Horn Island in the Gulf of Mexico. The peculiar na- ture of this sand is that each grain is of almost equal texture and perfect | crystal This is a very costly depart | ure. The ordinary sand that is used for Altering purposes is porous, and therefore does not in all respects an- swer the requirements, as it permits Judgement in it's pores for the mil crobes The sediment and all the mi crobes that the unfiltered water yields l necessarily remain on top of the sand in the filters. It is in the economical
 and certain removal of this impure
 matter that the chief excellence of this great plant lies. The process of cleans 1 ing the sand is not unlike that opera tive in hydraulic mining. Thousands of fine, powerful jets of water are ap- piled directly to the place where the | impurities are located. At the same time the sand is washed by forcing the
 water upward through the bed of sand,

WAGONS MUNICIPAL FARM.
A Georgia Town Which Raises Forage
 for it's Stock.

It is not generally known, but never theless it is true, that the city of Macon runs one of the most profitable little farms in the state of Georgia. It cov- CTS sixty acres and is planted in a sin gle crop-oats.
 All the land inclosed by the mile track Is planted in this cereal, and some twenty or so acres in addition are un- der cultivation. The crop this season is nearly ready to cut, and something like twenty-five hundred bushels will be the result. The harvesters will start to work before the end of the month.

THE CHIEF AIM OF THH CHURcB

THE CHIEF HIM OF THE CHURCH,
 Rev. Dr. E. w. Donald of Boston has made some stir by saying that in his opinion wrong impression has been given to the people at large as to the purposes and aims of the Christian church, an impression that the chief object of the church is to minister to some form of physical want or woe. To hundreds of people, he said, the church is hospital, with the clergy as the staff and the women as the nurses. Dr. Donald did not advise a, retreat how ever. ''The parish house is here to stay" he continued, land we bless God for having put in peoples minds the thought that when they are most sorely oppressed they can go to the church and there receive help. But the strong life of the community is not going to cast in it's active fortunes with the church so long as the latter Is present. ed to it as a vast institution for the re- lief of physical distress and human want The Christian church is not a hospital, an almshouse, or day nur- sery. Unless the ministry see to it that another work is done by 1t, the opening of the century will not be as bright as we could wish. We want to make men feel that they are standing in the pres- ence of the living God, and that they are not to be hindered by these duties. y
 It is not probable that Rev. pr. Don ald meant just what many will take his words to mean. It is true that the chief aim of the Church Is to save souls, but it is also true that it's mem bers, whose souls are saved, will con- tinue to find pleasure and profit in helping others whose souls are saved, or whose souls may be saved.

Floods along the Mississippi, so prom lnent phenomenon of late, have led to some interesting calculations by John Blrkinbine of Philadelphia as to the watershed of that great river. His fig ures show that it's drainage area is one and one-fourth millions of square miles, including nearly all of the country from the Alleghanies to the Rockies, and from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico. In his communication on this subject to the Engineers Club, MT. Birkinbine es- inmates that one inch of rain falling evenly over this vast area would be equal to 21, 7sO, ,OO0, ,OeO 900 gallons of wa ter, this vast flood having to find it's way to the ocean by way of the river, and the quantity of water from this not fmmoderate rainfall would be sufficient ito supply Philadelphia at the present rate. of consumption for 325 years. As a matter of fact, the average yearly fall in the Mississippi watershed aver ages from twenty to forty-three inches, according to the locality. The river has an average flow of 664, 900 cubic feet per second, and if this were put under a head of fifty feet it would develop 7,50O,000 horse power.

The British Museum has just secured, through the generosity of the we'll known art collector, George Salting, one of the most famous relics in exist ence. It is known by the name of Santa Spina, and consists of a large amethyst of exquisite beauty and ar tistic interest, holowed out to inclose a thorn from the crown of thorns of the Founder of the Christian religion, while one side of the gem Is covered by minute paintings on lovely translu- cent enamel. It was presented by Sultan Saladin to St. Louis of France, and was until hundred years ago one of the most celebrated treasures of the French nation. Coming into the pos session of the late Baron Pinchon dur ing one of the periodical revolutions which occasionally turned things up- side down in France, it was put on the market at his death, and has now, after a good deal of negotiation, passed into the possession of the English govern ment at heavy price.
