BEDDING on Their Travels.
Few royal folks when travelling re-
quire their bedsteads and bedroom fur
niture to form a portion Of their lug
gage, as the queen does, for instance.
But many great ladies' there arc who
carry their own beds and ucd linen.
blankets and quilts, and always a
macintosh sheet to spread over the
mattress to guard against dampness for
lack OF sufficient airing in transit
from place TO place. Grand Duke Paul
of Russia, II Is true, is always,
when travelling, accompanied by a bed
stead, which he has had built In Sec
tions, and which Is put up by n special
mechanic, under the superintendent OF
the royal valet, wherever the grand
duke goes, but then IL is simply because
he can seldom, owing to his great
height, meet with one long enough for
Ills comfort, says the Philadelphia Press.
II does not appear to be generally
known that among the servants OF the
queen are two bearing the title OF her
majesty's tapissiers. One OF them fol
lows the court wherever IL may be,
and the other remains permanently at
Windsor. The duty Of these function
aries il TO superintend the packing OF
the queens baggage when the court
migrates. and their work Is 80 perfectly
organized that every member Of the
establishment concerned knows almost
to a minute when he or she must be
ready to receive n visit from the packer.
II is also the duty Of the tapissiers to
maintain communication from palace to
palace with reference to all matters
which cannot be brought within the
limits Of the royal mail boxes; to know
by heart all railway and steamship
routes, and TO be able to convey any
desired article from one place TO an
other by the swiftest and safest method.

NATURAL COKE.
II IL Claimed There II n Deposit Of II
In the strtc ~ Utah.

~ IN NbuuTueu q ~ " bcVOSb III ~
In h state 81 Utah.
In works Of mineralogy IL is learned
that there is such a product as natural
coke. but so far as known there has
but one deposit OF this commodity been
found in the United States, and this was
in the vicinity Of Richmond. Va.
Although the deposits of coal in Utah
are immense in their proportions, it was
never dreamed that among It's commodi-
ties Of trade and m the state
could boast Of beds of this natural coke.
but such Is the case. however, and the
Salt Lake Herald Is informed that n
short time ago a vein Of this coke had
been discovered In n section of the coun-
try about 140 miles south of this city.
and within Is miles of q railroad.
This deposit crops out On the surface
for soine distance. and a 25 to 30-foot
tunnel has disclosed a body OF coke that
is all OF five feet in width. and there is
every reason to believe that with depth
the size of this deposit will Increase.
In quality the coke is all that could he
desired, and Mt the assay Offices at which
II has been tested the statement Is made
that il is n pure article, and that il is
ever superior TO the manufactured coke.
rs IL is entirely free from sulphur, btu
men,, and that IL gives out no smoke
when burned, and makes less ash than
the manufactured article.
The new find, which is considered as
being among the most valuable that has
been made in the state, is owned and
controlled by ex-NIayor r. \. Baskin
and several other Salt Lake gentlemen,
who have located $40 acres in the imme-
date vicinity Of the discovery.

Some Great Corn

louisville Commercially
Scottsboro, Ind, August 20.-Remark-
able as it may seem, there are two
which will yield over 200 bushels to the
acre. One is owned by Marion Harrod,
of Alpha, nine miles north Of here, and
consists of one acre, off of which Mr..
Harrod claims he will raise $50 bushels.
The other is a field Of seven acres, own
ed by E.. P. McCaslin, of this city, who
introduced it here. and it will yield
fully as much per acre as the field
owned by Mr.. Harrod.
Last year Mr.. McCaslin made scien-
tifc experiments in the culture of corr
on his farm, seven miles north of here.
He raised twenty-five varieties, many
of which are wholly unknown to the
farmers of Indiana, and some of which
are without name. His experiments
proved highly successful, practically
and scientifically, but the most notable
and important by far was the species
referred to.
It has no name other than that sup
piled by it's producer, who has named
it Cornucopia, or the horn of plenty. 1t
may sound startling to say that 200
bushels of it can be raised to the acre,
but it is true, and the poorest ground
will produce 100 bushels.
The wonderful corn was originated
by a Kentucky grower about four years
ago, and Mr.. McCaslin thinks he had
last year every grain that remained
of the first crop, which was the only
n raised, it being the outgrowth of a
long succession of experiments in cross
ing various species.
Mr. McCo slim hooon with ono oor IF
it, or 34S grains. Out of these, owing to
the drought last spring, but 242 sprout-
ed, and from these he reaped a harvest
Of a little Over seven bushels. Mr.. Har-
rod obtained some of the grain.
Every stalk of this remarkable cOrn
produces at least five we'll filled ears,
averaging at least three. which are
ten inches in length, while on some
stalks are to be found as many as ten
perfect ears. This, however, is unus-
ual, and is caused by extreme wet
weather. The corr is a stout grower,
and the stalks are more than two
inches in diameter. 1t is a white dent
the most valuable raised-of first-class
quality, being very solid on the cob,
and runs from ten to fourteen rows to
h cob. Five ears taken from one
stalk, selected at random last year,
and thoroughly dried, weighed two
pounds and eight ounces, which wOuld
be over 200 bushels to the acre, the
corr being planted eighteen inches
apart The corn does not stool and
should not be planted more han two
grains to the hill, as more impairs the
quality.
Mr.. McCaslin thinks it will produce
200 bushels to the acre if planted one
grain to each hill, and the most of his is
SO planted this year.

seriously by these sappers and miners,
and have lost faith in the divine origin
of the Word of God, the Books Of all
books. But the true Christian continue
to walk in the old ways, hold on to the
old faith, cling to the divine promises,
and accept the Bible as indeed Of divine

critics. But while the professors and

most remarkable, a work Of Provi-

are so busy in destroying faith and
hope and showing up supposed blum
