Great Prosperity Predicted.

Great Prosperity Predicted.
The London Statist, in it's issue OF
of August 25th, under the heading
American Prosperity" says:
"There will be very large exports
of wheat to meet the demands Of wes-
tern Europe. American farmers are
disposing of their crops rapidly and
at tolerably good prices. They win
be able to purchase from the east
and Europe as freely as they have
been doing this year. The United
States has made great progress OF
late years in manufacturing and ira
ding, but it is still an essentially agri-
cultural country, and it's prosperity
depends on the harvests. Therefore
fair wheat and good harvests OF
other productions mean the contin-
nance of the we1l-being ofthe farmers,
who are the backbone and likelihood
of the country"
The tenor of the article prophesies
an increase of the present prosperity
of the United States.

The time has passed when It was nee.
essary to pay $500 for good pisno-n

Werlein has done more to cut down tho
enormous price it used to be necessary
to pay for piano, than any in tho world.
On the face of it, their position is an odd
one; being the oldest house, 1t would
seem that it would be the last to make
90 radical an innovation. To-day. how.
ever, it is q matter OF fact that Philip
Werlein, Limited, of New Orleans, stands
"a the great exponent OF small profit in

that they do is enormous, and by not cor
responding with them before purchasing
you act unwisely."

Prospect Not SO Good.

Col. Poindexter Dunn, who has been
operating in Grant parish of late In
the interest of the Edenborn railroad,
spent few days in Colfax and vicini-
ty this week. He reports the outlook
is not as favorable as was anticipated
q week ago. His company comes to
us asking for no tax, but requests
free right of way as reimbursement to
build through the parish. 1t seems
there are people so shortsighted asto
refuse this small concession, and there
by they may beat themselves and
their neighbors out of the railroad.
The people OF this country could al
most afford to give away half OF their
land for railroad facilities, yet some
of them are SO "penny wise and pound
foolish" az to refuse to donate the
small strip of land 100 feet wide asked
for, when the building of theroad will
double the value of every acre of land
they possess. The proposition is to
build this road if our people guaran-
tee free right OF way. If this is done
the company is put under contract
to build at once Let every body do
their simple duty as citizens by giving
the right of way cheerfully and willing
w, and work on the road will begin
inside of thirty days--lst only asmall
number refuse, and the road may
never come to us. Nineteen out Of
every twenty land owners in ward one
have already signed deeds for the
right Of way, and We believe that ev
cry one will do 30 as soon as they fully
understand the situation.
Remember, the icritten conditions
,rhich the railroad smbmits to u.
binds them to commence ,cork u
sirty days, and to complete til.

,ce guarantee free right Of ,cay.

and other aquatic plants. An lnscrlp- ton referring to these sculptured figures informs us that all these plants came from Syria Later in the same reign as other inscriptions at Thebes record, towering plants and fruit trees were imported from Mesopotamia, Arabia, the Somali country, and even the Greek islands. The Egyptian, in fact, seems to have spared no pains to grace Iis garden with all the profusion and Vafle- ty which cultivation could obtain. They were particularly fond of sWeet-scented flowers, a fact worthy of notice, tor IL proves that, unlike the Jews and early Greeks, they were a an early perlou keenly alive to the sweet odor or HOW CTS. Mr. Gladstone long ago pointed out that Homer often speaks of flowers as tender" "white,' "hyacinthine,' but never as sweet smelling.
 Nekht's duty was not merely to cult1- vate plants; he had also to supply hls king and the priests with cut flowers and fruits for the decoration of the tenn pie on all the principal festivals. Offi- cially he bore the title of "purveyor ot cut flowers for the god Amen Doubt less also he supplied many Of the The ban damsels with those flowers they were so fond of using for the decoration of their hair. Great quantities of cut flowers were used for embellishing the houses of the wealthy, and a blossom of some kind was nearly always presented toa guest at banquet, just as at the present day We are given our button hole'' at house party-a pretty custom, and an old one. In his tomb Nekht is depicted presenting Thothmes III with huge bouquet, five feet high, and com- posed of papyrus, lotus flowers, corn flowers and peoples, interspersed here and there with fragrant fruits of the nimusops, tree not now found in the gardens of Egypt but we'll known at the present day in India. Some of these garlands have been found in the ancient cemeteries of Egypt buried with the dead.-Percy F, Newberry i'll the Lon don Post.

tobacco of the 1898 crop in the market is spotted tobacco, force-sweated; CD that unspotted Connecticut tobacco of 1898 will not be in the market till the fall of 1899; (3) that the whole Connecticut crop of 1898 is of unparalleled excellence there having been nothing approaching ! 1t in quality since the crop of 1892; (4) that all comparisons of spotted and un- spotted Connecticut tobacco made in Rlckard & Longs behalf are valueless, because they are comparisons of the splendid 1898 crop, spotted, with the in ferior crops of previous years, unspot- ted; and that all testimony which Is based on the facts tends to higher price for unspotted Connecticut tobac- co than for spotted.
 As to spotting with soda. Sixteen of the most competent possible witnesses Afford, Marcy, Hough, Brown, Granger, Ransom, Thrall, Clark, Haas, Eno St. John, Holcomb, Phelps, Leonard, Busch mann and Hartman--all of them Con- nectlcut tobacco growers (Haas Is a dealer) of long experience, most of them lifelong, testify as one man that the ar tificial spotting with soda
 1. Decreases the weight of the yield.
 ?. Causes the leaves to break off at the stems.
 3. Makes holes in the leaves.
 4. Lessens the strength, life and vital- ity of the leaves.
 ,. Is decidedly and positively harm- full.
 6. Eleven of these witnesses testify that spotting with soda hurts the com bustion.
 The baseless nature of the theory that spotting natures otherwise immature top leaves is apparent from the fact that the spotting must be done at the practi- cal maturity of the plant, and the plant then cut just as quick as the spot is pro- duced Not only has the plant then stopped growing, but no time remains for any maturing before cutting of leaves then immature.
 The law as to utility. When the de- fendant's contention on the question of utility is simply that the thing patented is devoid of utility very slight degree of utility will answer to support the pa tent. And some cases hold that the de- fendant is practically estopped from de- nying utility under that sort of conten- ton. But the case is different when de- fendant's contention does not stop sim- ply at the zero of utility, but goes fur ther and alleges that the patented thing is hurtful or injurious, mischievous or immoral. In such cases the courts are unanimous and positive in holding that the facts may be inquired into, and that if the contention is sustained, the patent ;,,, a;J ,ol, ;e. r, ,1nt simply that there is a zero of utility, but that the patented process is hurtful and injurious, immoral and mischievous.
 How little ground Rickard & Long had for covering all alkalis comes out other wise, in considering the combustion promoting theory. The patent was granted expressly upon that theory But it Is proved that soda distinctly and positively flinders the burn of the tobac- co-Hartford Times.
