pROGRESS IN ENGLAND.

People in this country don't seem to be smart enough to cooperate success fully in industrial matters, or are they too smart? In England the success and the growth of such cooperation are encouraging. The method in Eng land involves the organization of g joint stock company, the shares of which are taken, as far as possible, by the laborers themselves, the selection of skilled manager at a fixed salary, and the distribution of all the profits among the laborers and shareholders. From gross receipts are deducted first all operating expenses, including wages, salaries, interest on borrowed capital and an allowance for deprecia- ton of plant. Of what remains 40 per cent. is divided among the laborers, 30 per cent. goes to a reduction of the price of product to buyers, 10 per cent. is devoted to shareholders, 10 per cent. is devoted to education and the rest is applied to pensions and insurance. The arrangements has been shown by experience to be practical, and the growth of cooperative industries has been phenomenal. The working day is shortened, the laborers' income is in creased and antagonism to capital van ishes, for the reason that the laborers supply part or all of the capital. h. dustrial independence in short, is se- cured by the wage-e -earners
 Perhaps when we get better acquaint- ed with our new English friends they will be able to teach us how to work together.

l the flounce. The pointed edge Uf the { plain portion was finished with black velvet ribbon, wider ribbon giving the
 belt. The bodice was laid in deep tucks,
 fastening at the side in surplice fashion,
 and over it was a jacket with long hip
 pieces of white lace. This general form of lace jacket promises to be a frequent
 resort, and has the especial value from it's newness and the appearance of rich
 ness that it lends.
 For the late yachting season serge and flannel are the rule, though the white brilliantine suit that has proved so use ful this summer will still be depended on for semi-dress occasion. The stylish yachtswoman has adopted the idea of the theater girl who wants to seem lor-made in the cars and dressy in the theater, and who wears a taffeta coat gown. The yacht girl who wants to look seagoing in the little boat ussd between yacht and shore and dressy for dinner ashore or dance wears a
 reefer costume. Her skirt is of white
 serge trimmed with scrolling of braid
 or left with either pearl or brass. Un-
 der this reefer is bodice elaborated as
 much as she wants. A white serge
 yachting cap with a pin representing either the boats club or the private signal of the owner stuck in front com
 pletes the costume. Because of the in-
 ternational races the best of the yacht
 ing season is still to come, and many more yachting suits are now being made
 than is usual so near the end of the
 summer. They're for women. too, who mean to be right in style or not set foot in q boat. F'LORETTE.

HGW BRYAN CAN BE USEFUL.

It Is evident that many Democrats In this country are not yet cured of the silver delusion, and therefore there is some sense in suggestion made by the Mobile (AIabama) Register. The Regis ter is the oldest and the leading Demo- cratic paper in Alabama. but it has been an advocate of sound money It did not bolt the nomination of Bryan in 1896, but 1t did not give him any hearty support. Now it thinks the fight that is being made against Bryan is a most serious mistake MT Bryan,

People who eat oleomargarine and
 also those who think they don't will be surprised by some facts which have been gathered by the Pure-Food de- partment of Pennsylvania showing the marketing of S7S00,000 pounds of oleo- margarine In the United States during the year ended May 31 last, as compared
 with 34000.000 pounds ten years ago. The computation is avowedly made to show the competition to which the far mer is subjected, and the illustra ton is carried further by figures indicating the great profit in the handling of this sub stitute for butter. The figures as pre- cents for the material entering into a pound of oeomargarine. With a lib- eral allowance of two cents per pound for manufacturing. the total cost is six cents. The wholesale selling price is ten cents, and this profit of four cents per pound on the quantity marketed in the year cited amounted to $3512, coo. If all the oleomargarine were retaled as butter-and the great bulk of it is, despite the laws to the contrary--it would be sold at twenty cents pound, that being the yearly average retail price of butter. Allowing two cents pound for the cost of selling, and the retailers in oleomargarine gathered in for the year an aggregate profit of about $7,0OO,OOO.
 Well, it is comforting to think that good oleomargarine is quite as good as much of the butter that is offered for sale

alone we shall get decision on it from the Supreme court, namely, from the voters of the country. Why hinder him? Those who are putting forward Judge Van Wyck profess to believe that MT. Bryan cannot win under any circumstances. Why, therefore, inter- fere in this matter? It cannot be for the love of office, for Van Wyck cannot win; neither is there much glory to be obtained from leading a forlorn hope. Let MT. Bryan have his fling. He is surely entitled to 1t. Let us get a square cut issue and decision from a full court, without the embarrassment of side issues of any sort Leave to neither side an excuse for trying the case over again and we can get this monetary question settled one way or the other and be done with it. There are many other issues as important that cannot be considered satisfactorily until this one is disposed of.
 It may be good plan to try to give the country a full and undiluted dose of Bryanism, and see what the voters will do with it.

eral million common cats. The num- Der of Angora cats in Maine is grad ually diminishing, there being at least LOGO less each season. The demand is so great for them that the farmers can not keep up with sufficient supply. Maine people made over $50,000 last year on their cats.

the third man was living by himself in small hut some distance from the fort buildings. The explanation he gave was that he had removed to where there was chance of keeping himself alive by snaring rabbits, which were more pletiful than at the post; but a suggestion of cannibalism surrounded the affair, for only the bones of his companions were found, and they were in the open chimney place.

4 TRUST IND AN OPPORTUNITY.

The window glass trust is one of the latest and biggest, It is stated that manufacturers representing ntnety-two per cent. of the window glass produc- tion of the United States have organ ized into a trust, which will be capi- talized for $500 ,000 It will be known as the American Window Glass compa- ny, and will be incorporated next week in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. The manufacturers are to receive forty per cent. in cash for their holdings and six ty per cent. in the trust The preferred is to earn seven per cent, annually be- fore anything goes to the common stock. MT. James A. Chambers of Pittsburg is to be the president of this great combination.
 The Hartford Times points out that this trust cannot live for an hour with out the help of the prohibitive duty on foreign glass which was provided by the Dingley law, and that if it becomes advisable to try the effect on trust of knocking out it's tariff prop the case of the window glass trust will afford an excellent opportunity But the Times naturally doesn't expect to see much enthusiasm in the United States senate about killing the window glass trust in that way.

A great and constantly growing com mercial industry has been developed in southern Europe, namely, the making of macaroni, vermicelli, spaghetti, etc, but of flour pastes, the selection of the best adapted kind of wheat from which these different articles are to be produc- ed to the best advantage being, of course, very important consideration Singularly enough, the United States consul at Lyons declares that, as yet, no American wheat has been found &C., ceptable to manufacturers in this line, the requisites for the best qualities be- ing a hard grain, having large per-
 centage of gluten and small one of starch. The statement comes from an American chemist living near Lyons that the wheat most sought after for this purpose comes from Algeria, and a fair article is found in the Clermont- Ferrand region of France. Southern Italy, which once produced superior macaroni wheat, does so no longer.
