Tho Foot That Stands.

A lady was watching potter at his
work whose one foot was kept with a
"never-slackening speed, turning his
swift wheel round.' while the other
rested patiently on the ground. When
the lady said to him, in a patronizing
tone: How tired your foot must be-"
the man raised his eyes and said:
mo, ma'am. it isn't the foot that
works that's tired; it's the foot thar
stands. That's it," If you want to
keep your strength, use it. If you want
to get tired, do nothing. AS matter
of fact, we all know that the last man
to give helping hand to any new un-
dertaking Is the man who has plenty
of time on his hands. 1t is the man
and woman who are doing the most

What Make. HappInes..

Margaret Deland has delivered sever
al lectures Of late before various Bos-
ton clubs on the Duty of Happiness"
There are" she said, ''as many opin-
ions of happiness as there are people
in the world. but the first and most
important distinction which we must
make is this: happiness is spiritual
possession and is independent OF ma
terial things. Happiness is thinking
straight and seeing clear and having a
true perception OF the value of things"
Mrs. Deland declared that young girls
just starting out in life should not
have a grievance, and asked: "Is the
world any better or happier for our
grievances? Poverty of the mind or
cowardice of the soul is shown by a
tendency to throw on others the trivi-
alities Of our own discomfort"

Tricks or SILK WORKERS.
Making Of Inita,ioas Of Thh Fabric
Briefly Explsissd.

Making Of Imitatioas Of Thh Fabric
briefly Expiaissd.
Pure silk, when 1t has been through
all the processes necessary to bring
out all Its good qualities. is worth its
weight In silver, said an expert the
other day. Therefore the women who
expect to buy pure silk at Ettle more
than the price Of cotton must expect
to be fooled; and there are lots OF ways
by which the manufacturer gets even
with them. They make stun that is
called silk. and passes for it with cred
ulous persons, who don't know any bet
ter, out of nearly any old thing now.
cne favorite imitation silk is made Of
celluloid treated with chemicals. 1t
isn't good material to get on fire
in. Then there are South Sea Island
cottons and some mercerized cottons,
which, after treatment, look something
like silk. though, of course, they wear
very differently and their silken ap-
pearance soon vanishes. But it is in
adulterating goods which really have
some silk in them that the greatest
skill is exercised to deceive the buyer.
To obtain the required rustic and body
rough floss is often used for the woof
Of the material. This soon causes it
to wear shiny. Another trick is to in
crease the weight and apparent solidty
of flimsy silk material by using me-
tallic salts in the dye watts. Pressing,
with some kinds of silk, increases the
weight also, but al the sacrifice Of
strength. Cheap, crackly, stiff silk
which has heavy cords is good silk
to avoid 1t won't wear. There are
several tests which reveal readily the
purity Of piece of silk. The micro
scope, of course. will show it at once,
even to an unpracticed eye. Pure silk
has the appearance Of fine smooth
tubes. Another good test is by burn
ing. Pure silk burns slowly, with a
slight odor; cotton flares up quickly
and would throw off a decidedly dis
agreeable smell. Then the tongue will
readily reveal the presence of metallic
salts. There is no mistaking their
taste. But all these may be disregard
ed, said the expert. when silk is Offer
ed for the price of cotton. You need
not bother to test that stuff.-San
Francisco Call.

MAPLE SUGAR.
Ohio Producers VIII Form Trust and
Advance tho Price.

Ohio Producers Will Form Trust and
Advance the Price.
The maple sugar industry has been
declining in Importance for some
twenty years. The main reason for
this is that the sugar maple thrivas
best in rich soil and farmers have
been discovering that they could put
these naturally good lands to more
profitable use than by raising sugar
They have therefore cut down a great
deal of the sugar maple all the way
from Vermont to Ohio. and have put
very large acreage which yielded
nothing but maple sugar into other
crops. Ohio is now the largest center
of sugar maple growing. On the whole
the crop has declined about one-half
until the industry is not now very i'm
portant, except in Ohio. The sugar
makers there. in view of the lessening
that it will be safe to merge their in
terests. fix price upon their product
and derive much more profit from the
industry that heretofore. At a recent
meeting held in Ashtabula an agree
ment was drawn up binding the farm
ers to send all their sap to Middlefield,
Ohio. to be boiled. Heretofore each
farmer has boiled his own sap. Mid
dlefield has been selected as the place
for manufacturing syrup and sugar be-
cause 1t is the largest center of the in
dustry, being situated in close proxim-
ity to over 100000 maple trees. The
trust will manufacture all the syrup
and sugar and attend to the sales of
the product, the profits being divided
among the members of the combination
in proportion to the amount OF raw
material they supply. Most of the
manufactured product is now sold in
the form of syrup instead of sugar, and
the recent meeting voted to advance
the price Of syrup to 81 gallon. which
is 25 cents more than the usual price.
1t remains to be seen whether this
combination will prove success

LONE VOLTS LAST RESORT.
Seeks Injunction to Prevent the
 Opening of Lands.


 Kansas City, July 23.-A special from Fl Reno says: The final struggle of Lone Wolf and Judge William M. Springer, attorney for the disgruntled Kiowa, Commanche and Apache h. dians, to prevent the opening of the new country to settlement as contem- plated by President McKinley's procla- nation, was begun in the District Court of the Second Judicial District at Fl Reno today.
 The petition filed asks for tempo rary injunction restraining William A. Richards, Assistant Commissioner of the General Land Office and Register and Receiver of the land offices here and at Lawton, from proceeding in any way to carry out the provisions of the proclamation. The petition asks fur ther that upon final hearing the in- junction be made perpetual. The sub- stance of the petition Is that the act of Congress ratifying the Jerome treaty, upon which the Presidents proclamation is based. was obtained by fraud. The hearing will take place at Fl Reno next Saturday. Judge Will lis Van Deventer will probably come from Washington to represent the Gov ernment.
 Commissioner Richards said today that nothing short of sending him to jail would interfere with the work which he has been sent here to do.

THE COTTON CROP. The Greatest Danger is Yet to Be H Met.

Meridian. Miss. July 21. 1901.
 The past week brought joy into many homes among our farmers in the shape of copious and much needed rains, which have been quite general over the entire State. If the moderated tenn perature for the past few days. and most timely rains which have fallen have not proven beneficial to the crops they have certainly done much to re- lieve the apprehension in the minds of our farmers. which had grown to alarming proportions. A continuation however. is necessary, and at the prop CT intervals. as more rainfall Is need, ed in order to relieve the plant from the severe shock 1t has recently sus- tained during the most remarkably high temperature that has ever visited the cotton belt.
 Should the moisture be sufficient within the next ten days to bring about a new growth the dangerous and most critical period Is yet to come. A plant three weeks late. having already been placed to the severest of tests. tender, green and full of sap, the result all ways of a new growth would fall an easy victim to the whitening and scorching winds that are often felt in August. This to be dreaded most, and If we are doomed to face such an oc- currence next month it simply means one of the greatest calamitles that ever befell any crop. It must be ad- mftted that the plant has yet to run the gauntlet of uncertainty and doubt both as to August weather and an early frost before we can be assured of a yield commensurate with the rap- idly growing consumption, and it is well known that this crop Is less pre- pared to stand either emergency than any. for several years past. Taking all these points into consideration, the general situation must appeal to us all as being one of grave doubt, and wor- thy of careful study by those most vitally interested.
