The CornoratIon Pure.

Professor Ely shows by indisputable
statistics that the stupendous sum of
$40, 900, 900, 900 worth OF American prop
erty is owned by corporations. The
banks alone control more than $780,
900, 900, and it cannot be an extrava-
CANT estimate to place the holdings of
trusts at five times this amount, max.
ing a total Of about $4,000, 900, 900
owned and controlled by these consoli-
dated properties. Railroad property Is
not included in the above computation.
To add this will swell the amount to
the almost incredible figure Of s27, OOO,-
100000. IL is fearful to think of the
tremendous power these combinations
of capital are capable of welding on
the business and politics of the coun-
try.-New York Commonwealth.

The producers, shippers and tax pay
ers of North Dakota have the same
trouble with the regulation of freight
rates that exists in Nebraska. The
board of transportation in that state
ordered some reduction IN freight
charges. The Northern Pacific, Great
Northern and Milwaukee roads applied
for an injunction to. prevent the en-
forcement of the order made by the
board. Owing to the illness of Attor-
ney General Cowan the hearing was
postponed until June Z, but it is un-
officially announced that Judge Ami
don will grant the prayer of the petit.

if true, will nullify the present law SC

bankers and Legislation.

The Alabama bankers held their
eighth annual meeting at Birmingham
recently and of course, like all other
bankers, the members talked much of
Legislation affecting their particular
business. When Alliance men and lat
err Populists charged that special legis-
lation for the few was wrongfully TAX
ing the wealth the farmer and laborer
produced and appropriatlng it to the
wealthy few, bankers and old party
politicians said, Legislation had moth
ing to do with the accumulation of
wealth, that "You could not make
men rich by law etc.
These expressions have been heard
thousands of times everywhere and
every year; yet there has never been a
State or National meeting of bankers
but what the greater portion OF the
speeches and papers have been devoted
solely to legislation affecting their
business.
At the Birmingham meeting last
week state president j. w. Writings
address, says the Atlanta Constitution,
"Was an able document and made a
number of recommendation looking tC
the enactment of STATE LAWS FOR THE
BENEFIT or THE BANKERS. -
He recommended the repeal of the
days of grace, favored the repeal of the
National 10 per cent tax on State bank
circulation and also favored the gold
standard system, saying in conclusion,
THAT expert knowledge could much
more easily adjust the matter of the
gold and silver standard than the pop
ular vote"
OF course there could be no expert
knowledge" except it came from n
committee of great financiers" or eX-
pert bankers, whose interests are just
the opposite of the interests of the
masses. Pro-slavery men of the South
who owned a thousand or more slaves
each could have "much more easily adj
justedT the slavery question than the
voters. OF course it might not have
suited the slave quite so we'll but it
would have been by experts"
The popular vote" did not demone'
tie silver, neither did it ask for the re-
sumption law, the refunding law, the
public credit strengthening law, or the
dozens of other laws on the money
question that have each directly en-
riched the money loauer, banker and
bondholder.
They were never discussed in any
campaign prior to their passage, but
were passed without any demand from
the masscs-without even their know
ledge.
The expert members of the sugar
trust of course must be consulted as
their judgment would be far better for
them than that of the common sor-
gum-lapper. No, you farmers and
common people must get your wealth
by hard work and the most niggardly
kind of economy; but be sure you vote

ask for or desire.
To be sure you could never satisfy
them, as they would constantly see
where laws could be passed which
would aid them in their arduous toll

transparent Plates.

1t is often of Importance to have plates
or cards of transparent material. These
can easily be made Of gelatin by the fol-
lowing process: "Place gelatin In cold
water for several hours until 1t is thor
oughly softened, taking care that no more
water remains than is necessary to swell
1t completely. Prepare plate of glass,
carefully clean it, then coat with the
slightest possible film of oil. Place around
this glass rim just as high as the thick
ness of the plate of gelatin is to be. Pour
upon the prepared glass, which should be
hot, the softened gelatin. Then lay over
tia second glass, heated and oiled, and
press it gently down until it rests evenly
on the top of the frame. This makes the
thickness uniform, and If care is taken
there will be neither bubbles nor irregu-
larities When cool, remove the gelatin,
which may then be cut or shaped into any
desired form. BY adding coloring matter
any shade can be secured. Aniline Is the
best for tipting. New York Ledger.

COLD FEET.
They Show an Unbalanced Circulation and
May Superinduce Illness.

Never 90 to bed with cold feet. Never
try to sleep without being perfectly GER
tain that you will be able to keep them
warm. To lie one night with cold feet
gives such strain to the system as will be
felt seriously, perhaps ending in fit OF
sickness.
Cold feet show an unbalanced circula-
tion The very best thing to do is to warm
them by exercise, If that be practicable. If
not, by dipping them in hot and cold wa
ter alternately two or three times, and
then using vigorous friction. If that does
not warm them and keep them warm, heat
them before the fire, drying them thor
oughly, and then correct your habits Or
improve your health, for be sure that one
or the other is wrong, perhaps both.
With all the rest, if you sleep on hard
bed with cotton sheets in cold room, put
on an extra covering over the feet. 1t is
very convenient to have n foot comfort,
Just wide enough to cover the top of the
bed and about yard deep. This may be
made of some light material-perhaps the
remains of a pretty dress-flled with
cotton, like a comfortable, and tackled
with some harmonious color. During the
day this may be thrown over the footboard
and spread on the bed at night. The adj
vantage of this is to secure sufficient light
covering for the feet without overburden
| ing the remainder of the body. If you
use a hot brick or an iron, put it in Tho
| bed little beforehand and then, when re
| firing, remove it. To sleep with the feet

.Mrs. Lincoln.s Zouaves.~

Julia Taft Bayne in st. Nicholas de-
scribes the pranks of Willie and Tad Lin
coin in the White House. The presi'
dents sons were playmates OF her brother
Budd. Mrs Bayne writes: About this
time they formed a military company
called MRS. Lincoln's Zouaves." She
gave them a flag, and they were reviewed
by the president from the portico. The
secretary of war promised to furnish light
(condemned) rifles, but do not remember
whether they were ever armed or not, for
the company dwindled until It was like

was colonel, Budd major and Hally cap

that of drum major. The officers had old
fashioned swords, given them either by the
secretary of war or by General Mcclellan.
They spent great deal of time on the
fat copper roof of the White House. II
was surrounded by stone balustrade, and
here they built cabin. The roof was by
turns a fort, and quarter deck. They
used to raise and lower the flag with due
ceremony and look for strange sail

The LIGHT of the Moon.

The moon is a mirror which reflects
the sunlight to u.s. An examination of
moonlight with the spectroscope shows,
of course, the same spectrum as that of
sunlight. The quality Of the reflection
is indicated in the announcement that
it would take no fewer than 6lS, 900 full
moons to supply to us an amount of
light equal to that which we get from
the sun, and there is only sky room for,
say, 10, 900 of them. Some heat comes
from the moon, but ordinary methods
will not measure it. However, II is es-
timated that it is about one-eighty-
thousandth of the amount which the
sun supplies to us The inclination of
the moons orbit TO the horizon ac-
counts for the harvest and the hunter s
moon, which occur when the tipping is
slightest, thus permitting the moon to
rise about the same time for several
successive evenings. The moon often
appears much enlarged when ON the
horizon, but this is caused by the re-
fractive feature of the air about the
horizon and the natural tendency to
compare il with terrestrial objects. -

LEATHER REMNANTS.
A Material OF Which No Part Is Permitted
to Go TO Waste.

Leather remnants are a regular article
of trade. In manufactures of leather there
are remnants, just as there are remnants
In the manufacture of cloth, of tin, of
wood and of very many other materials.
There are wholesalers who deal in leather
remnants exclusively, who will buy any
leather remnants whatever, and who find
sure sale for everything they buy. For
many purposes the remnants are as good
as pieces cut form whole sides would be,
and they cost very much less.
A manufacturer of fine shoes, who buys
whole skins cuts out the best and uses
that only and sells the rest us remnants.
The remnants are sold to manufacturers
who make cheaper grade of shoes. The
shoes made from such remnants may be
better and cheaper than shoes made from
cheap whole stock.
Harness makers and saddlers who buy
whole skins have more or less remnants,
little pieces, and odds and ends that they
have no use for, but which may be made
useful for one purpose and another. From
any whole stock there must be remnants,
and the remnants are all good for some
thing; remnants of betting, for instance,
are sold TO make boot heels of and insoles
The smallest remnants of some kinds Of
leather are used for the filling of balls
Leather remnants are used for making sus-
pender tips, for leather trimmings, for leg
ging straps, for the making of cheap pock-
etbooks and for covering eyeglass and spec
tacle cases and various kinds of fancy
goods, for bookbinding, for making chill
dren's shoes, for the straps used on hobby
horses, for leather buttons and washers.
for corners on books Remnants of French
calf are used for fine cobbling, and rem
nants generally are sold for "a very great
variety of purposes
There are half dozen or more whole
sale dealers in leather remnants in this
city There are said to be a larger number
in Boston. While the wholesale dealer in
remnants will buy remnants of any kind
there are still smaller scraps of leather
called chips, which he does not buy. The
chips and the sweepings are sold to chem
ical manufacturers and burned to make
potash. No part of the leather Is permitted

With the enormous consumption o.
| leather in this country, the quantity o
remnants here is large. Remnants are pro
duced in England just as they are here
| but not in quantity sufficient to supply thu
demand there. Many tons of American
leather remnants are exported to England
where they are sold for the same uses t.
which they arc put here.-New York sun

PROFITS OF MuRDERERS.
Few Benefit Financially by Means of Their
Crimes.

Much has been published in England
ahon the professional assassins of Paris,
writes our Paris correspondent, and In
many cases fabulous gains have been at
tributod to them as result of their crimes,
but these exist more frequently I'm fiction
than in fact. Statistics recently compiled
by the project of the Paris police throw
good deal Of light on the assassins trade as
practiced i'm modern times. Especially in
tercsting are they i'm view of the popular
but very erroneous idea that the assassin's
trade is a profitable one. That 10 is quite
the reverse seems to be clearly proved by
record of the profits gained by notorious
assassins during the last 30 years.
Biographies of IA large number of French
murdcrers, some of whom paid the penalty
of their crimes on the guillotine, while
others were transported to New Caledonia,
show that the average murderer makes far
less money at his abominable trade than Is
made by any third rate artisan or even day
laborer.
Here, for example, are the names OF a
few criminals and statement as to the
actual money profit that resulted in each
case Sejournet committed one crime, and
his profit was 20 5s; Rossell, one crime,
FL los; Ducret, one crime, 4S worth OF
jewclry; Cathelin, about 5s.
These are not princely profits, but they
are large compared with Others. Three
men, for example-Georgoes, Voty and
Franck-committed a horrible crime and
only made about sixpence apiece. Several
| others were less fortunate, for they gained
| nothing at all Other knights of the road
| found to their dismay after dispatchine
| their victims that they had no money OF
| them, and they were consequently bound
| to be satisfied with such booty as they
| could obtain in the shape of watches ant
other jewelry, which, of course, is less de
sirable than money, as it Is not alwayi
easy to dispose Of
True, "a few assassins have made con
siderable sum of money. Three-Martin
Begheim and Lapommeraye-were espe
cially fortunate or unfortunate In this re
spect. Martin found a200 in his victim
purse. Begheim got FL 400 worth Of jew
cry and Lapommeraye also acquired
large sum of money at one stroke. Thes
men, however, did not live very long T
enjoy their wealth, as justice overtoo
them and quickly dispatched them to an
other world Such men are rare, however
so rare that a careful calculation show
that the average amount made by Frenc
assassins during the last 30 years does nc
exceed or 10 shillings for each crime.
Such being the case, the wonder is tina
there are so many murderers. And
greater wonder is why, if they are detel
mined to kill for the sake of obtainin
money, they do not arrange to kill person
who are known to be wealthy and do M
seize an opportunity when their intende
victims have their pockets stuffed wit

RUBBER TEETH.
They Are Light and Cost but Little to
Manufacture.

ManuIaCtuTes
A novel thing in teeth has been invented
which places artificial masticators within
the reach of the masses. The inventor and
manufactures Is well known New York
dentist, who says that his new process will
enable him to make complete sets of excel
lent teeth for $1.50 or ~ and still reap a
satisfactory profit
The invention is departure from any
thing heretofore introduced in modern
dentistry 1t consists of q complete artifi-
cial set of teeth made entirely of rubber,
the base or plate and the teeth being
formed integrally. In their manufacture
an ingenious method Is employed which
not only insures a correct formation of the
artificial masticators, whereby they are
made to closely resemble nature s product,
but also simplifes the process of what is
called "setting the teeth up" hollow,
flexible metallic matrix, which both in
ternally and externally reproduces the
formation of the natural teeth, is made,
which, when filled with rubber and vul-
canized, produces perfectly formed set OF
teeth.
One of the greatest obstacles to over
come was the shading of the rubber teeth,
but this the inventor has accomplished by
means of chemical bleaching process.
Another but less satisfactory process of
shading is by the mixture of different col
ored rubbers.
From sanitary standpoint the rubber
teeth are perfect, there being no joints, as
in all other forms of artificial dentures, In
which the secretions of the mouth may
find Judgment. A more expensive form OF
the new teeth is that in which the masti-
eating surfaces are capped with a continu-
Gus metallic facing, which renders the
denturc practically indestructible and un-
breakable. Gold, silver, platinum and
aluminium have been used for making the
crowns. One Of the greatest advantages
of rubber teeth, aside from their cheapness,
is their extreme lightness. They weigh
less than half as much as any other form
of denture. York World.
