Minnesota Flour for the Orient.
The Western -four mills have begun
to ship o westward to the Pacific
coast for trans-shipment to the Orient,
favorable freight and steamship rates
having been obtained. The farmers of
the Northwest are thus assured Of re-
ceiving direct benefit from h trade
expansion IN the Pacific ocean. The
exports of flour to China, Japan and
the Philippines may be said to be only
fairly started. The most recent report
of Consul Wildman at EI%ongkong, says
h a American flour is being shipped
to the interior Of China, something
that was unknown a few years ago.
The s%eacoast cities formerly absorbed
all of the flour that was exported.
1t appears that tile farmers of the
West and Northwest will soon be ben
Gifted directly by this new departure
of trade, just as the cotton raisers Of
the South find their most promising

Colorado In a Gold State,


Coloradoans have noted that nature
in regulating the output Of the two
metals, works independently of poll
ticians or financial ma~nipulators. From
a silver state, in the early nfneties,
Colorado vas soon transformed into a
gold-mining state. When silver was
at a low ebb, the gold camp of Cripple
Creek began to loom up. In 1891 the
gold product Of this great district was
only 5000, 000; in 1893 it had risen to
$2,400,0 900. In 1896, when the silver
miners were crying loudly for govern
ment aid and Organism was rampant,
it yielded 1000, 900. Last year it pro-
duced $40, 223, 514, and this years output
will come close to $50, 600. 900. When it
is remembered that the total silver
product of h whole State OF Colorado
last year was only $13, III, 731, the great
change in mining conditions as we'll as
their natural import at once become

The Issues Boiled Down,

Il do not know of any stronger ap-
peal that can be made for Republican
votes than a recital Of the last four
years, as compared with the previous
four years.. Boiled down the issues are
McKinleyism and Organism. Boiled
down it is free silver and free trade on
Bryan's side and prosperity and devel-
opment on ours. Out West the argu-
ment of imperialism is played out.
Mr.. Bryan will not talk free silver in
the Empire State unless you force him
to, and I want o to force him to. I
have frequently expressed publicly that
the Republicans in this state and
country r feeling too sanguine as to
the result. The Republican national
committee does not take any chances.
The issues in this campaign are greater
than in any other. A defeat would put
us ten years behind.

Exports of Agricultural Products.
There is world of thought for
farmers in the record Of wheat and
wheat flour for the past three years
under the Republican administration
as compared with what 1t was when
the Democrats were in control. Good
reasons brought the bountiful crops, Of
course, but good times, created by the
protective tariff, advanced prices at
home, increased the consumption and
thus enabled the farmer to sell his
surplus abroad for higher prices. The
record Of exports of wheat and -four
in values Is as follows:
-Four Years. Three Years.
Cleveland. Mckinley.
Total value. Sab, 705, OLE $3.50. S04, 40
Av'ge per ear. 107, 926. 253 1T, 766, 139
1t is apparent that the farmers are
receiving $40, 000, 900 a year more for
their wheat and its product which are
sold abroad than when times were DUH
in this country.

A NEW TABLE OIL.

A rival of cottonseed oil, as substi-
tute for olive oil, is promised in corn
oil. This is a by-product of corn, ex-
tracted from the little fieck of yellow
which is known as the germ. To pre-
vent sprouting the germs must be re-
moved before the grain is shipped or
stored, and as the result of the process
employed a gelatinous substance is OBJ
tanned, which has been used as a sub
stitute for linseed oil in the manufac-
ture of paints and for lubricating pur-
poses. Now it is announced that
method has been discovered for clari-
flying, deodorizing, and making the oil
more palatable, with no material loss
as regards quality, and at the small
cost of 10 cents a gallon.-Scottish

features are familiar, ard the greatest
tribute paid to its charms by women
is their willingness to submit to an IN

appearance of the abdomen, even in the

necessarily very low, as the corsets arc

bust smaller, and that feature has made
them unpopular with some who are
attracted by the long curves and the

CHAPTER XXXIV.

Ethel was always at her best with
Sir Oscar. He had the power of bring
ing out all that was noblest in her.
Her intellect, fancy, Imagination, all
seemed the highest when she was talk
ing to him. She never looked so
beautiful or talked so we'll as with him.
Her mind seemed to answer to his, her
quick. light, vivid fancy to respond to
every word of his. She began to look
forward to seeing him as one of the
pleasures of her existence. One of her
earliest thoughts in the morning would
be. shall see him today? Where
will it be? What will he say?" And
she reached this stage so unconsciously
that she would have been surprised il
any one had said to her, How very
much and how often you think of Sir
Oscar Charlcote!"
She thought, in her simplicity, that
1t was happiness at having found a
friend-a real friend-that was making
life so much brighter for her.
The Duchess of Clanbrook gave a
garden-party, at which Ethel was
queen. Lady ST. Norman smiled to see
how she was beginning to take interest
in her toilet. She fancied that the
dark cloud which had so long rested on
the girls life was lifted at last. Ethel
chose very beautiful dress and a most
becoming bonnet. She went to the
gathering. hoping she would see Sir
Oscar there. 1t would be pleasant TO
while away the summer hours by his
side-her friend-that dear friend
whose care for her made her so happy.
She went; there was large crowd
Of fashionable people present, and the
scene was one of great beauty and
animation. The party was held on a

rate Of nine to ten knots an hour so
that in case of long cable, like the
Atlantic cable, the laying would re-
quire ten to twelve days.
The rate at which the cable is paid
out is controlled by varying the
weights on the paying-outdrum. As
the cable goes out il passes under a
dynamometer. amachine for measur-
ing strains, and a man standing near
this dynamometer regulates the strain
on the cable by means of brakes.
The cable itself is coiled up like a
garden hose in tank filed with wa
ter, to protect the rubber. As every
one knows who has tried it it is much
easier to unooil garden hose than it is
to coil 1t but with a cable it requires
fully as much. perhaps more care to
pay it out than it does to wind it up
neatly in the tank when it first comes
from the cable-making plant. Each
coil is separated from the other by thin
