That waxed floors are the most
slippery things in the world--but they
have not talked with US about Parquetry.
We have method of applying wax to Par

ness is done away with, and the floor treads
like hard-oil finish, yet has all the lustre
which wax alone produces.
If you are going to build new house,
or FIX up the old one, let us figure on Par

Superintendent Murray, of the Bu-
reau of Combustibles, says the N. Y.
Sun, has made regulations governing
the transportation, storage and sale of
calcium carbide, which firemen declare
to be source of danger in q burning
building, because when water reaches
it acetylene gas is given off. A number
OF stores keep it for use in bicycle
lamps. Hereafter, in transit or on
storage, it must be inclosed in hermet-
ically sealed iron receptac,es marked
dangerous if not kept dry" No
package may contain more than 100
pounds. 1t must be stored in isolated
buildings that are tireproof and water
proof. No artificial light or heat will
be permitted in the building where it
is stored. Not more than twenty
pounds, in bulk or in cartridges, may
be kept in any store or factory, and
this must be in fireproof safe or vault
above the street grade and it must be
kept six inches above the floor.
The manufacture, transportation
storage, sale or use of liquified acety.
lene is absolutely prohibited within
the limits of this city.

WHAT YEAR IS 1T?

The Answer is Not Quite as Easy as it Seems
The Present Year is Neither A. D. 1899
Nor 1900.
A correspondent Of the Fort Worth
Register in answer to the above query
says: Probably SO out of every 100 peo-
pie are under the impression that
Christ was born exactly 1897 years
ago last Christmas, in the year A. B.
Such, however, is not the fact. Our
method of counting time was not in
troduced till the year 532 A. d. The
calculation was erroneous, and it was
found ten centuries afterwards to be
deficient of the true period by trifle
over four years. But as the alteration
of system that had been adopted all
over Europe would have occasioned
great confusion in civil affairs, the er-
ror was, by common consent, allowed
to remain, and we continue to reckon
from the era first established, which
however lacks four years and six days
of the real Christian epoch. Chris,
was really born on December 10Th, in
the year 4 B. c. The present year
had the system been made to conform
to the true Christian era, would bt
1908, instead of 1899.

But we won't forget to make him pay nit

All our culture and our polish, which for de
cades We have priced,
Well confer upon the dusky Philippines,
For it is our bOunden duty now TO see him civi

While we shove his little taxes down oul

So we'll sail across the water and We'll sing ou

It. is the kind of money that the ma

We do not believe that the amount

nearly money enough of their own

cotton crop. One bank in this city
offered to lend the state, few weeks
ago, large sum Of money, the same
1ot to be repaid until next January.
It would seem, therefore, that this
bank had more than enough to supply
is customers during the busiest part
If the cotton season. The banks of
,he south are not as dependent on
he banks of New York as they once
we're, and the time is close at hand
when they will have all that is required

would have it now if so much of the
wealth of the south were not sent to
New York to pay losses incurred in

CALIFORNIA; BARLEY CROP.
1t IL Larger Than That OF Any Other
State-Pacifc Coast Hop and
Grape Growing.

While the Pacific coast wine yield
is not up to expectations this year,
there has been, a large crop of barley
and a very considerable product of
hops in California, Oregon and Wash
ington. The production of barley in
the United States has increased from
100000 bushels in 1883 and 6S, 100000
in 1890 to 90,000,O00 this year. The
business of mailing kept pace with the
rapid Development of brewing, and one
of the results of the enlarged demand
has been the establishment of many
malt houses and the discontinuance OF
mailing by brewers. At the present
time comparatively few brewers malt
their own barley, it being more profit
able to buy of the maltster.
The central and northern counties
of New York had formerly monopoly
If hops, but Washington and Oregon
are now in the field. BY the census Of
1890 Washington ranked second among
the states of the country in the prod
uct of hops, California third and Ore
gon fourth. In the total amount of it's
barley product California ranks not
only at the head of the states, but pro-
duces in year about one-fourth of the
barley, product of the whole country.
1t is estimated that the total hop crop
of Washington state this season will
be between $4,000 and 10000 bales. The
picking is finished. and much of the
crop has already been sold on the basis
of 10 to - cents per pound.
According to the secretary of the
Winemakers' corporation of Califor-
MIA the vintage this year will be one
of the smallest in the recent history
of the state. The yield of dry wines
will be in the neighborhood of $780,
600 gallons. as against 27,Ooo,Ooo gal
Ions last year. Sweet wines will show
about cne-half the production of q
