Guthrie o. T.. Sept. 7-Speaking of his
success in making money in the raising
of cotton. and some of the rules whose
observance had contributed to chat sue
cess. a prominent farmer. residing near
Guthrie says.
Cotton seed is one Of the most valuable
commodities on our market There are
many cotton mills and a ready salc for
their product 70 is certain that there
can be no satisfaction OF the demand
for cotton seed this wear

four months
Regardless OF the prospect OF advance
ia Che price OF cotton seed IT IS already
high enough 20 make IL very profitable
To farmers 20 have their cotton einncd.
Seed cotton is selling on an average ~
$3.50 per hundred. which nets the pro-
Queer $50 per ton. Bale cotton on the
same basis IS returning $3.50 per huudrod.
con OF seed cotton averages about SD
pounds of ginned cotton. leaving about
l,409 pounds of seed which is being bought

The next point Of profit and one equally
as deserving OF consideration lies in the

Anarchy In France.

An item Of news from Paris gives
indications Of serious conditions in
France. A party Of soldiers, re-
serves, openly cheered anarchy and
shouted for social revolution. When
the police attempted to quell the
disorder, they were charged upon
by the soldiers and overcome. Paris
lives in constant dread of a recur-
renee of the commune. It is small
wonder. When the red chapter of
history was written by the COM
mune, the army was not so possess
ed Of anarchistic doctrine as at pres
ent. The commune sprang mainly
from obscure streets and byways,
but at present anarchy stalks OPEN
ly upon the boulevards of the gay
capital, finds lodgment in the arse
nails and expression in the military
barracks.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

Built With Tomato Cans,

A remarkable little building
stands on the lawn of DR.. Naaman
ID. Eeyser's house on Church lane,
Gea nantown. It was erected by
DR.. Keyser himself when a boy,
some addition or alteration being
made to it each year during his va
cation.
The architecture of the quaint
little building is old English. The
lower part is wooden, and the up
per part has the effect of thing, the
tiles being made out Of old tin cans.
The youthful architect persuaded
the boys Of the neighborhood to col
lect cans from the various dumps,
1000 of them being used on the
building. The bottoms of the cans
blocked over wood formed circular
tiles, with which the roof is covered,
and the remainder Of the tin, being
beaten out fiat and also blocked,
made square tiles for the upper part
of the Walls.-Philadelp hia Record.

King Edwards Children.

The king has brought up his chill
dren in the utmost simplicity, and
it is with his assent that the Duke
and Duchess Of Cornwall and York
allow their little ones to make
friends among the children of mem
bers of the aristocracy. A tea
party in the nurseries of York
House is a common event, and the
little princes and princess squabble
and fight with future dukes and
marquises over picture books and
tin soldiers. H.
One little scion of nobility, whom
it pleased his mother to dress in the
embroideries and laces of baby
until he was nearly four years old,
one day got a rare drubbing from
little Prince Edward, who, on being
introduced to his befrilled and be-
ribboned small guest, promptly
knocked him down.-Home Notes.

To Clean Oil PAINTINGS,

An art journal suggests raw pota-
toes to clean oil paintings. Have a
few potatoes at hand, each cut in
halves; the fresh surface is damp
ened slightly with cold water and
used to rub the canvas; as the pota-
toes show soil the surface is sliced
off and the rubbing continued This
process will create little lather,
which should be wiped off as fast as
it accumulates with a clean, damp
sponge. When the whole canvas is
cleaned, it should be washed over
lightly with clean water, from which
the chill is taken off, and finally the
water lightly and carefully wiped
off with an old clean silk handker-
chief.

Washing Lace Handkerchiefs.

By putting lace handkerchiefs in
warm water in which are a few
drops of ammonia and using CASTLE
soap they are easily washed and
made beautiful clear white. Then
do not iron, but spread the handker-
chief out smoothly on marble or
glass, gently pulling out or shaping
the lace. Just before it is entirely
dry fold evenly and smoothly and
place under a heavy weight of some
kind, and you will find handker-
chiefs lasting thrice as long as be-
fore. -...t. q.

'LouBET's QUEER TROUSERS i lou / i s; !.

President Loubet has five Prince
albert coats-two for summer. two
for winter and one extra for grand
occasions. This last one has been
worn only three times-at the open
ing OF the exposition of 1900, at the
reception of the king of Sweden and
at the garden party in honor of the
shah OF Persia. This "gala" coat
differs from the others in that it
has heavy silk lining and lapels. NJ.
houbet invariably wears plain,
black satin tie-not tied by hand,
but sewed together and attached
with a clasp. NJ. Loubet used
formerly to wear false cuffs, but one
day while making'a sudden gesture
the right hand cuff slipped off and
colled on the floor. This happened
at the Luxembourg palace, when NJ.
Loubet was president of the senate.
Since then M. koubet's shirts have
been made with permanently attach
ed wristbands.
M. Loubet's trousers are very Pc
'culiar. They are black or gray in
color, but their cut is of the old
fashioned pattern, with the top of
the trousers coming up as high, as
the armpits. NJ. Loubet has always
worn trousers of this quaint type,
and is so accustomed to them that
he has an inveterate dislike for
evening clothes, which, Nth low
cut, open waistcoat, render the arm
pit trousers impossible. The presi-
dents wardrobe is, however, pro-
vided with several pairs of evening
trousers suitable for low cut, open
Waistcoats.-

Windmill Electricity,

Electric energy from wind has
been successfully obtained in both
England and Germany, but it is in
the latter country that it has been
actually put into use. M. G.. Couz
of Hamburg used windmill with
a regulator, which would keep it's
speed constant, no matter what the
speed of the wind was, and succeed
ed so well that there is a strong
probability that it will be used in
small villages in Germany and sup
ply light and power at a small cost.

ALL OVER THE HOUSE.
How 20 Arrange Cut Flowers to Sc
cure Pleasing Effects.

SSsSHU sS0oSuS @uSSSos
In order to secure the best and
most pleasing effects in the arrange
ment of cut flowers it is necessary
that their manner of growth be con-
sidered. Flowers that grow on tall
stalks should be put in high vases,
which permit the long green stems
to rise in natural fashion, with
some of the pretty leaves appearing
gracefully among them. Tiny flow
ers should be placed in small re-
ceptacles corresponding to their
size. The aim should be to give,
as far as possible, natural appear
ance to each kind of flower.
When gathering field daisies, also
gather some of the seed grasses that
grow among them, then place all
loosely in suitable vase, remember
ing that they do not grow with their
heads close together. This arrange
ment, with the help of stretch of
the imagination, will remind one of
small field of daisies with the
grasses waving and nodding in the
wind. -
Roses should not be crowded into
a vase, but tumbled loosely into a
bowl, and little study will enable
one to add the necessary touches
that help to give to these beautiful
cut flowers their natural grace and
beauty. "..
Pansies should be cut with stems
and leaves and massed in a low,
faring vase, where they have a
chance to appear as if still growing.
