In the large sawmills of Joseph Fial-
la, in Austria, the sawdust is utilized
by being made up into briquettes; these
form a good combustible for boiler fur
naces or household use. The sawdust
is impregnated with mixture of tarry
substances and heated to the proper
temperature; it is then passed over a
plate of iron heated by steam, from
W hich a screw eonVeyor takes il to the
screw press, where it is compressed into
briquettes of the required size The
press turns out nineteen per minute
weighing two-fifths of a pound each
and measuring by rs by ILL., inches
The calorific power is about the same
as that of Ignite, with but per cent
of ash. The factory turns out more
than 100000 briquettes a year; the
cost is about sixteen cents per thou
sand, and the selling price reaches one
dollar, leaving considerable margin
Of profit.

In a report just issued by the Blu
reau Of Statistics at Washington there
is a valuable table showing the whole
sale prices of every commodity from
1910 to 1889. The figures are based on
the standard of 100, and from that
standard the prices are expressed rela-
lively, up or down. Thus the average
price of all sorts of food In 1910 was
966, whereas it is now $3.50. Similar
reductions are shown in the case of
other articles though they cannot be
here stated in detail. Suffice 1t to say
that the relative cost of all products
has gone down from 1863 in 1910 to
86.5 in 1889, while the relative earnings
Of labor have advanced from $40 in
1870 to 1879 in 1899

loaded with nuts. The price is better
than usual owing to the fact that there
the demand for the nut steadily grows.

The Bishop of Winchester declares
that difficulties of belief cut no figure as
the cause Of the shortage of curates
experienced in the English church. He
lately said: "A curate is not troubled
with doubts. philosophic or otherwise.
The controversies and strife of the last
few years might be regarded by the
general public as occupying the time
and thoughts of the average English
priests; but the bishops knew that this
was not the case, and that for one man
who had given his thoughts to these
disputations there were fifty who were
going straight on with their work and
not giving thought to these contro-
versies at ALL"

decoration:
IL one has an abundance of greens,
such as holly. mistletoc, laurel or any
thing else that is evergreen, the dec
Grafton of archways. the mantel or
even the corners between the windows
and doors may be appropriately car
ried out. but only when there is an
abundance Of material. All things con-
sidered, | am more in favor of con-
centrating the room decorations at one
prominent point than of spreading
them all over the room.
OF all places in the average room the
mantel is perhaps the best to use as a
central point in decoration. 1t is prom
inent, has an abundance of room and
yet is so constructed that comparative
ly little material is needed to obtain
the best effect. To decorate the man
tel for the Christmas season remove
all ornaments from 1t and bank the
space between the mantcl and the
glass above lt-say foot high In the
center-with choice greens, using the
best holly. fern fronds. smiIax or even
mistletOe. although those first named
are to be preferred. either alone or In
combination. This decoration should be
after the manner shown In the illustra-
tiOn-that is. heavy In the center but
graduating until at the ends only deli
cate sprays are seen. The green's should
come out quite to the edge of the man
tel In the center, but be drawn back
at the ends to form a slightly curved
effect. as we'll as to give more room at
the corners for the bows.
The garland effect may be produced
by the use of either wide satin ribbon
or of the proper shade Of Grape paper.
The latter is quite inexpensive, and a
three yard roll would prove more than
ample. If paper be used, the garland
should be cut seven inches wide and
arranged as shown ln the illustration,
with a rosette In the center, where the
wreath Is hung, the garland being
brought up to the corners OF the mantel
under a long bow with long ends.
These garlands and bows OF ribbon
are simple to make and wonderfully eff
fectlve In trimming at Christmas time.
The foundation of the table decora-
ton Is to be a star made of greens such
as are always readily obtainable at the
Christmas season. Assuming that there
is n hanging lamp or a chandelier d.
rectly over the dining table. at its low
est point fasten FIVE small strands Of
smilax, concealing the tie with clus-

The Philadelphia platform is the best

in connection with the speeches made at

that the partys attitude on the trust

ANOTHER LYNCH|NG

Crime and Pays the Penalty. His Body
RiddIed With Bullets.
(By the Associated Press.)

New Orleans, La, June 23.-Mrs.
Josephine Coates, mother of Mrs. Sal
lie Otis, of this city, was assaulted
and brutally murdered in her resi-
dence in an isolated neighborhood on
the Tickfa River, in Livingston Parish.
She was 60 years of age and reputed
to have plenty of money. Frank Gill
more, a white man who lived about
two miles from her house, who was
seen to leave the house was arrested
and charged with the murder. Later
in the evening crowd gathered at
the Coates house, where Gilmore was
being held and took him out in the
nearby timber. There he confessed
to the crime. He was promptly strung
up to peach tree limb. The branch
broke and the mob riddled his body
with bullets before he could arise
from the ground. A hole was dug
under the tree where the lynching
took place. Gilmore's body was tum-
bled into it and then the men dis
persed.
