4 CHANGE TO yEA RN.

The reopening of the Berlin Produce Bourse calls attention to an experi- ment whose results are instructive AZ most four years ago many Germans got notion that produce exchanges and their methods were injurious to ag- ricultural interests and that dealings in keep prices down, and so the Berlin Bourse was closed. The law passed ill June, 1896, making it unlawful to deal in futures in agricultural products, was at first opposed by the government but consent to it's enactment was finally given when it was seen that it was strongly supported by the Agrarian ele- ment and other parties in the Reich stag that are hostile to large capital and modern methods of trade The law attempted to establish a definition of dealings in futures that would cover mere Bourse operations while leaving the way open to transactions in actual commodities for future delivery. But the Berlin grain dealers as soon as the law was passed, ingeniously altered their methods Of doing business, so as to conform to the letter of the statute while openly violating it's intention.
 The law was thus practically a fail ure from the beginning of its operation The brokers continued, almost without a break, the same operations that they had been accustomed to, under a form that lacked the earmarks of Bourse as defined by the statute. war upon the new methods, but they

AN IDEAL CLIMATE.

It Is not difficult in Mexico to find a perfect climate, where the mercury rides between 60 and 80 degrees in the shade the year through, day and night and good markets are at hand; where and good markets are at hand; wehere the sun shines every day and all day for some seven months in the year, and where the rains for the balance of the year fall mostly at night. Those who have never enjoyed the luxury of seven months of bright sunshine, without one dreary day, cannot realize what this means. Of course, under these condi- tions an abundance of irrigation water Is required. but in this well watered land, that condition is easily supplied. Land for cultivation varies greatly in price, according to position and advant- ages but is not high. Building after the pattern of the native houses Is cheap, all structures in the country are made of adobe bricks, (sun-dried bricks with straw) and laid in mud, then all is sur faced, plastered and washed with colors. It would be mistake to suppose that a proper location could be found any, where in the temperate zone. It is a mountainous country, and the lay of the land varies at every hundred yards.
 Much time should be spent in investi- gating localities, as time alone can 1e-
 termine the best choice.--Modern Mexi-

NOTHING LIKE IT.

There's nothing like leather, and some of the intelligent foreigners are begin ming to discover that there's nothing like the way in which the Boot and shoe manufacturers of this country use leather. It appears that the value of footwear imported into the United Kingdom from the United States dur ing the month of November was $6S,- 900, as against $22, 900 in the correspond ing month one year before. The Aus tralian imports of American footwear jumped from $15000 in November, 1898, to $133 ,0OO in November, 1899, and for the eleven months ending November 30 the Australian imports were $712,00O against $2S0,000 in the corresponding period of the year before. The imports in British Africa showed a similar in
 crease, all of which is regarded as proof that Americans can manufacture good shoes at less labor cost per pair than any other people in the world and that the opportunities for the extension of American trade are now very great.

NATIONAL FLOWER CONGRESS.
Governor Again Requested to Call One
 in This State.

 Governor Again Requested to Call One
 in This State.
 A delegation called upon Governor Lounsbury Thursday and requested him to call a national congress in this state, some time during the coming year, for the adoption of a national flower. Nearly every country has national flower but America has none, at least officially. A congress was called in Asheville, N. O., in 189e by Governor Carr of that state. Fifteen states were represented by two delegates from each state. No definite action was taken by the congress on account of the small number of states represented and the diversity of opinion as to what flower should be chosen as the national emblem. E. A. Taylor of New Haven, who was resident of North Carolina and secretary of the congress- at it's meeting in 1896, but who has since re- turned to Connecticut, his native state, was one of the delegation who called upon the governor this morning in re- gard to the matter.
 The governor has not made decision in the matter and it is possible that he may issue an invitation for such a congress to meet in Connecticut.

HEADsTONES FOR SOLDIERS.

The Design Approved by the Governor.
 Governor Lounsbury has approved the design submitted by Stephen Maelen for the quartermoster general for headstones for deceased soldiers who served in the Spanish-American war. It is imilar to those erected for de- ceased soldiers of the war of the re- bellion, with the exception that the top of the stone is fiat with rounded cor ners. That for the war of the rebellion is more circulaI on the top. The di- mensions of the stone which Is of white marble are feet inches by foot 4 inches, and four inches thick. The headstone, besides the name, age, date of death and organization. is to bear the designation, Spanish American War" There is no distinction of this character on the stones erected for ser-

CTS. Many women are obliged to make their short skirts longer from waist to hem in front than at the back, because
 of faults of figure induced by years of bad carriage. A course of short skirts will greatly help to correct this deform- ity.
 Sensible standards at last prevail in street dr esses and the skirt no longer sweeps the pavement. But women who ride in carriages stick to the graceful long skirte and deem them a mark of exclusiveness. Judged by strictly fashionable interpretation, they are just that, but the unfortunate point is that all the long street skirts are not yet worn out, so confusion results. But no new skirt should be planned for oth- CT outdoor wear than the carriage and be as long as the one shown here. With shortened skirt it will do for the prom enade As sketched, it was dark brown ladies' cloth, trimmed with bias folds that showed stitching and brown bone buttons. Brown velvet appeared on the collar.
 A recent notion calls for necklace of several rows of tiny pearls braced to- gether in a slide of gold. This is set close about a velvet collar. The beads may be only a piece long enough to show in the opening made by the turn ing back of an outside collar, for these are worn with collars made on the layer plan One thing accomplished by this system is that no opening shows.

THE VAR NEVIS,

Although the news" from South Af- rica is obscure and in some points con- flicting, it is evident that the British are not rapidly advancing. Indeed, it is not clear that they are advancing at all. The War office ill London shut up shop last night, as usual, and the Eng lish at home are anxious, as usual. Of course it is not easy to tell what the British military game is just now, and it is possible that # is being played with more skill and success than appear on the surface, but if it could include a substantial victory or two England would be much cheered. Meanwhile, she and all interested can only wait for the censor to allow as much of the real news to leak out as he wants to.

approached they saw a big blaze,
 around which four negroes and one , white man were working in the distil-
 lery. "The young Madisonians teeth
 began to chatter, and he lodged be-
 hind me" said MT. Griffin last night.
 'I told them to make dash with me. i The ex-marshal and myself rushed into
 the camp, but they saw us coming and
 the negroes fled. The white man 1 showed fight, grabbing up a pistol and standing his ground few moments. As we approached, however, too, took leg bail and got away.
 Well, sir. it was one of the biggest , distilleres l ever saw. It was more like a government distillery than any I have ever seen. Instead of the usual borrels found at illicit distillerles there were the regular vats full of sour mash and beer. I destroyed fifteen hundred gal Ions of the stuff, tore up the vats and also destroyed the worm and other machinery. Two of the men, a negro and white man, were recognized by my friend, the ex-marshal, and there are warrants out now for their arrest"
 One of the queerest, funniest expe- riences ever had was in Lincoln coun- ty,' continued MT. Griffin. There are some desperate men there, and raid in old Lincoln means something. l was there with another deputy not long ago and we raided a .distillery near big creek. We ran into the camp and sur- prised those who were there. One big fellow ran against post which knocked him sprawling into the creek. I sprang in behind him and stood waiting for him to come up again. To my surprise he came up below trough which ran from the creek to the still having dived below 1t. And then ensued uch race as you never saw before, between the man and my partner. who sprang in after him. Slash, slash slash, they ran up stream in water nearly waist deep. It was a question of endurance, and the man soon winded tho deputy and made his escape"
 Mr. Griffin said he was not in Angus ia seeking stills" but goes to-day to Lincoln county on another raid.-Au- gusta Chronicle.

ANOTHER STORY.

It has become plain that the Boers
 correspondent of the London Times writing from Cape Town says that they are depending much less than is com monly supposed upon the advice of for eign military advisers. In support of this opinion he quotes man only re- gently from the Transvaal. The latter declares that the Boers are at loss what to do with these gentlemen, whether they come as accredited at taches or volunteer advisers. They re- quire great deal of attention, and their advice, being based on absolutely different ideas of tactics, is valueless and only leads to loss of life when it is adopted. During General Jeubert's ill- ness-which was internal inflammation, due to stumble by his horse-General Schalk Burger telegraphed to Dr. Leyds to send men who could shoot straight and experts to work the mines and man ufacture explosives-not useless advisers. The correspondent then adds: From what 1 saw myself of the Boer forces at the time of the outbreak of the war, I know that the Boers have a profound distrust and contempt for European military methods and, with the excep- ton of Albrecht, they have practically no foreign officers even in the artillery. The Transvaalers, however, acknowl- edge that they have learned several useful tactical devices from the Free Staters, especially in making intrench- ments in the least expected places and at the foot of kopjes instead of only on the ridges.
 This is q very different story from that which has gained general accept ance, but perhaps it is true. Just now one can be impressed by almost any, thing told about the wonderful Boers.

No mat ter how short, tall fat or thin woman may be, she should have a rainy day skirt. Physicians say that a short skirt induces a woman to walk and to hold herself with an easy freedom that makes for grace as well as for health.

were able to make so little headway
 with their efforts that the Prussian
 Minister of Commerce, recognizing the inconvenience of a state of things that did not permit fixed, official quotations for grain, began to make overtures for compromise to the dealers. The deal
 CTS declined repeatedly to yield and even professed themselves quite satis- fled with the new conditions The ne naught, and things have gone on undis- turbed till short time ago. In reall- ty, of course, the brokers were not sat ished, but were simply waiting until sufficient experience should teach the government the mistake it had made. Finally that time came. The govern ment confessed that the German gram market could not get along convenient ly without official quotations; and fresh negotiations were opened with the deal CTS, which have resulted in giving them all they desired, and the dealing in grain futures will now go on unhampered by an unwise law.
 There are many people in the United States who believe that dealing in grain futures ought to be stopped. It if were stopped it would undoubtedly be found, as it has been in Germany, that the grain trade would be disorganized and the producers hurt worse than anybody
