ONE OF CANON CORES.

Among Canon Cores stock Of excel
lent stories. so many of which have the
great cathedrals of England for a
background, is one of two country
girls, who. evidently enjoying holt
day from fresh domestic service in the
city. We're observed by an attendant
pacing fearfully the aisles of st. Paul's.
Under the magnificent dome one of
them paused to gaze in wonder about
her. Curious to see in what words her
manifest impression would find utter
ance the attendant stole nearer. Ii
seemed that her limited vocabulary was
inadequate. Not so her companion.
"Ain't it just grand cried she. The
spell bound one remained silent for a
moment longer. Then. as if breaking
the chains of some strange enchant-
ment. she turned upon her friend.
Yes she said slowly and timidly,
but oh. dear! Sarais wouldn't it take
just forever to sweep this place OUT

Our interests in China.

Nothing could have happened to point
out more sharply the neglect of Ameri-
can interests in China by the state de-
partment than the dispute over the ex-
tension of the Niu-Chwang Railroad. 1t
was the Chinese government that applied
to a British bank for the money with
which to extend to Niu-Chwang an exist
ing Chinese railroad. The effect of the
loan would have been to give Great Brit
ain the control of the railroad. The Rus
sian minister at Pekin has taken upon
himself to forbid the railroad to accept
money from this source.
This veto is not only in itself an act of
interference which it seems impossible
that the British government should over
look. but 1t also diSclOSes even more full
~ than has heretofore been disclosed the
intention of Russia to control the trade of
the whole coast of Manchuria. It hap
pens that the Russian pretensions, with
respect to Niu-Chwang. threaten Ameri-
ran interests as directly as they threa ten
British interests. For Nu-Chwang is
that one of all the treaty ports in which
American interests are of the greatest
relative Importance. The chief of the i'm
ports OF the place are American and
among these American sheeting is the
most important.
There is no port of China in which the
prospect of charging the market of our
manufacturers is better provided we can
maintain the open door. If Russia sue
ceeds in shutting the door, We may be
quite sure that she will shut it in our
faces. and that our trade, instead of in
creasing will diminish. 1t is inexcusable
that we have not already backed the Brit
ish contention against the exclusive Rus
sian claims. But here is a case in which
our direct commercial interest gives us a
clear right to be heard. 1t is not neces-
sary to say that we should be heard now
on any question relating to the trade of
the Pacific. with far more respect than
would have been accorded to us before
the first day of May. There could not be
a more unexcertionable use of our new
naval prestiSe than to employ it in keep
ing open to our trade the Chinese port in
which our trade is comparatively the
greatest.-New York Times

On the Subject Of Aprons.

1T is such pretty apron said the
young housekeeper. ''and so easy to
make. You don't know how matronly
/ feel in it. l made two or three in an
hour the other day 1t is made from
print or Bingham, or any inexpensive
material that is serviceable. You tear

allowing for hem. Then tear one
breadth in two lengthwise and stitch
the two halves one on either side of
your full breadths up to within about
seven inches of the top
The openings that are left are for
armholes. and to finish the apron all
that is necessary is to measure a
straight piece of cloth around the
shoulders and gather the material into
II and button it with one button at
the back. You leave a space OF five
inches where the opening comes at the
top to go over the shoulder and give
room for the arm.
Isn't that easy? You have to hem
it around the lower edges, and unless
you have left the selvage sides out at
the back it must have hem there.
But as it is all straight work it is so
easy to slip over the good gown to go
into the kitchen. and it doesn't make
any difference how many ruff1es you
have underneath.
That isn't the kind l make" said
the older housekeeper. Il make a
plain, straight apron of Bingham to
cover the skirt of the dress, and then
there is one special thing I always do

bottom. People always ask me why l
take that trouble for kitchen apron.
but it is worth while. If there is one
place in which one is sure to spot a
gown in going into the kitchen it is on
the lower edge. BY putting on the

and prevents anything that drops from
reaching the dress beneath. Little
things like that an old housekeeper
learns by experience.
But even better than that is the

Colonel Michael sets forth that the or

but owing to the then prevailing financial
depression but little progress was made.
In the meantime. however, the associa-

and securing contributions of such an
amount as to insure the erection of n

Products Of cottonseed.

The various products made from cot
tonseed are becoming more important
every year, and as they increase of
course the value Of the cotton crop
grows
The home consumption OF, cOttonseed
oil has been large for years past, but It
was difficult to introduce this oil into
foreign markets. Finally, however. the
people of Europe and South America
were brought to understand how
wholesome and useful cottonseed oil is
and now they buy great quantities Of
it. says the Atlanta Journal
The exports of cottonseed oil from
the port of New York to foreign coun-
tries from September l. 1897, to June
II, 1885, was 5.SS0.553 gallons in excess
of the export from the same port dur
previous year-the quantities being
1880, 049 and 1l,715,496 gallons respec-
lively.
The exports of cottonseed oil from
Southern ports also increased rapidly
Shipments to Austria from New Or
leans increased from $4,000 gallons TO
l.3sS.550 gallons; shipments to England.
from 1O4. $50 gallons to 77S.550 gallons;
to Ireland. from none to $3.50 gallons.
Shipments from Baltimore to Belgium
increased from none to 257.25O gallons.
to England. from none to iO,5Oo gal
Ions: TO Germany, from 1900 gallons to
343.0 10 gallons; to Scotland. from 3O.SoO
gallons to 10000 gallons. Shipments
from Galveston to Belgium increased
from none to so, 1893 gallons; to England.
from $500 gallons to 5S,400 gallons. 10
France. from none to 2.749,9l9 gallons.
The total shipments from the four
ports here named from September /,
1897. to June H. 1898. amounted to 30
96l ,6Sl gallons of which 1852 1913 gal
lons-or more than 40 per cent.--were
shipped to France alone
More than half of our exported cot
tonseed oil goes to France and Italy.
In those countries it is transformed in
to olive oil and used in packing sar
dimes. \ large part of the so-called
pure olive oil which we buy is nothing
but cottonseed oil which has been
shipped from the United States to
France and Italy. refined again there.
and sent back to us under new and
high-sounding name. At recent con-
vention of California olive growers the
president of the association said that
his investigations in France and Italy
revealed the fact that more olive oil''
was shipped from those countries than
was produced there and that the eX-
cess corresponded almost exactly with
the imports of cottonseed oil. Las
spring a number of olive growers in
France complained to the government.
that the imports of olive oil had in
creased so fast as to affect the market
for pure olive oil very seriously. They
asked that the duties on cottonseed
oil be increased so as To give them
protection.
There Is no cause for grief over the
fact that large part of what we buy
for olive oil is refined cottonseed oil.
1t is pure. nutritious and wholesome.
Some of the cottonseed mills in this
country make an oil that hardly any
body can detect from olive oil. Ii can
he used equally well for salads and
dressings and for frying. It's con-
sumption is increasing among our
people every year. and the prejudice
against it is being rapidly overcome.

Whether this story be true or not depends
upon the veracity Of an aspiring member
Of the police force.
You know when they first got an os-
trich up on the island" he began, "well,
one night when was on my beat, pretty
hard sort of fellow that used to go TO
school with me called me into doorway,
pledged me not to give him away, and then
had heard within an hour. The suspicious
characters had their heads together in a
tough Potomac joint, thinking that my in
formant who had his head on a table near
them, was asleep. They knew that ostrich
plumes brought fancy price so they con-
ceived the bold plan of going up there
and plucking the bird belonging to the
city.
. "The job was to come off the next night.
and 1 got myself detailed to look after the
case. They rowed over from the Amerl-
landed, and kept them in sight. All I
wanted was for them to grab a feather,
then I'd have them. The fellow that the
other called Jim was within eight feet
of the ostrich and l was getting my gun
ready to enforce my orders, when some
thing happened. I thought the thing was
asleep, and so did they. But suddenly Il
let fly its right leg just like a streak of
lightning. Had Jim been three inches clos
er he would be turning flip-faps yet. AS 1t
was, he plowed the bottom of a canal,

CL0UDBURST IN TEXAS.
Their Lives-Property Loss
Is Very Large,

SAN ANTONIO, TEX, June IA cloud
burst occurred In the mountains north of
Spofford Junction last night about mid
night. The immense volume of water
rushed down the mountain side, sweeping
everything before it and converting dry
arroyas and small creeks and rivers into
raging torrents and completely flooding
the valley and level country below. At the
sheep ranch of NJ. L. Butler every living
thing was swept away, and the entire But
ler family, consisting of father mother and
two children, are reported to have per-
ished. Henry Carver, on the cattle ranch
lower down, was drowned.
The Southern Pacific track was washed
away in a half dozen places and two large
bridges were completely destroyed. At l
o'clock this morning the bridge over the
Pinto river was swept away. The water
Is flowing four feet deep over the track
in many places.
The Southern Pacific westbound Mexico
and California trains were turned back at
Cline this morning.
The trainmen report that the wires are
down and that the water is still pouring
over the track with tremendous force. The
distance between the two main washouts
IS about 20 miles and it is impossible to
gain any idea of the extent of the damage
between these two points. There are many
rumors of loss of life below the railroad,
but II is impossible to get particulars until
the water subsidies. 1t is certain, however,
that there has been great damage to cattle
and sheep ranches along the streams that
are now so swollen.
