A Queer New Product,

Notice appears in London Invention
Of a peculiar product, under the name
of soap stock, prepared in, Brindisi,
which is largely utilized on account of
it's special properties, 1t is prepared by
subiecting the residue OF olive kernels
to chemical processes under the action
of sulphuric acid, after all means OF
extraction by pressure have been ex-
hausted. Of this substance, 1t is stated
that during the year 1894 the quantity
produced amounted to about 1900 tons,
the medium market price for which
ranged at some $50 per ton. The arti-
Gle in question, which is Of little value
as q lubricator, has ready sale among
soap manufacturers, and In years when
the oil crop has been favorable, consid-
erable quantities have been exported to
this country, Great Britain and North
ern Europe. This oil is locally known as
"olio sulfureo," or sulphur oil, from the
method of it's extraction. The refuse re-
naming after the extraction is used
for fuel for steam boilers by millers as
a matter of economy.

Doesn't Believe in Short

The most daring innovation on accepted
whist principles which has cropped up
lately, Is the practice of leading originally
from n short suit in preference TO long

IL gives an opportunity OF making small
trumps ~ ruflling, and may tend To the
establishments of n cross-ruff. ana that ~
may result In having strong suits and
especially tenace suits, led TO 10y the adver-
sary. Now this Is perfectly true; but the
plan renders IL almost impcsslDle Tor

may meanwhile have assisted the ndVer-
saries To bring In theirs. lt Is not denied
thnt guerrilla tactics sometimes gam
tricks: but 1t remains TO he shown that
they gain more on the balance than the
recognized informatory long suit game.
The problem Is OF such extreme complcxity
that no proof can be offered. The invcs-

has been wellnigb the unanimous opinion
of experts that the original lead should
be from the stronget suit; and 10 has been
stated (but on what authority seems
doubtful) that about ninety per cent OF
American whistplayers continue 10 ad-
here TO the long suit game. lt Is contrary
to all human experience that so large

2 Democrats are beginning TO admit that
the extraordinary expectations of manu-
factured articles under the Wilson law.
over which so much shouting has been
going on, are not Of healthy character.
They are seeing now and admitting that
these exports are largely due 20 the absence
of a market at home due TO the enormous
importations aad the general business
depression. The Philadelphia Record
(Democratlc), in recent article on this
subject, says: "As is always the case in
times of business depression, the people OF
the United States for the last three years
have been sellers rather than buyers In
foreign markets" The Memphis Scimi-
tar (Democratic) discussing this same
question, says: There is every reason
10 attribute the rapid expansion of this
part Of our export trade during the past
few years to the fact that tho depression
of the home market forced American
manufacturers to seek foreign fields In
order TO keep their heads above water"

idea which within quarter OF century mas

opt the world, and its rapid growth Is mani

somewhat advanced.
He proposes to colonize certain state on
the cooperative plan and establish united
brotherhood Of all the members OF the colo
nies. whersby the dreams OF the poets and
philosophers of the world will be realized.
He intends 10 save the life OF thousands OK
men and women ny taking them out OF the
slums Of the big cities where, through lack OK
employment and continual idleness, they are
forced to follow q life Of shame and degrada'
ton, perpetrate crime and menace society
These people, as we all know, have nothing
20 lose and are glad TO grasp anything which
will keep body and soul together and enable
them to lead a life Of honesty as they were
taught at school and church in their younger
days To them the present system Is curse
il robs them of their natural rights. willing
