A face was thankful to see

And, blissfuIly dreaming, / ordered

Her eyes were of velvety softness;

An object Lesson to Grant.

This story is told of the first time
Grant ever had charge of large body
of men sent out to give battle. He was
colonel in the early part of 1867. de
tailed to go to the relief of an Illinois
regiment, supposed TO be surrounded
by Confederates at Palmyra, Mo, but
when he arrived the regiment had r.
lieved itself by retiring. Grant then
went out to Florida, in the same state
and as the regiment toiled over the hill
beyond which the enemy was supposed
to be in waiting Grant says he would
have given anything to be back again
in Illinois,
At the top of the hill, instead OF
troops drawn up in battle array, Grant
saw a deserted camp. 1T occurred &c
me at once that Harris had been as
much afraid of me as l had been OF
him. said Grant. From that event Il

Is explained how the opal is judged as
to quality ana desirability. First. he
says. color is of the greatest impor-
lance Red fire. or red in combination
with yellow. blue and green, are the
best. Blue by itself is quite valuele>s.
and the green opal is not of great value
unless the color is very vivid and the
pattern very good. The color must be
true-that is to say, ii must not run III
streaks or patches, alternating with a
colorless or inferior quality.
Pattern is described as being an inn
portant factor. the several varieties be
known as pin fire" when the grain is
very small, harlequin" when the color
is all in small squares, the more reg
ular the better. and the flash fire" oil

Harlequin is the most common and Is

GERMANY,s INDUSTRIES.
Berliner Tagebiatt Tells of De-
pressed Condition

Consul Monaghan sends to the stats
department at Washington from Chem
nitz extracts from an article i'm the
Berliner Tageblait reviewing prevail
ing conditions in the various branches
Of industry in Germany as follows:
The whole iron industry is In II state
of depression. Certain branches arr,
comparatively occupied. but the bust
ness cannot be compared with that Of
former years. Factories for the pro
duction of railroad supplies seem Il.
be the busiest. but even they have not
as many orders as last year The small
er iron industries are suffering from :.
railing of in exports. The same IS
true of machine factories They are
running on short time. aud great mum
bers OF workmen have been dlschlrS
ed
Even the textile industries are no
exception. Wherever mills are RUNNING.
II is generally at the cost of the price
of the wares. This lowering OF the
price of manufactures is overcome by
decreasing the wages of the employ
ees, who are working for anything
rather than remain idle. The philan
thropist puts the serious question 10
himself. What conditions will we meet
when. through an unwiSe tariff policy.
Dor becomes less in demand and at
the same time the most necessary ar
ticles cf food become dearer?
Manufacturers in the cotton spin
ming industry have lately been compel
led to limit their production more and
more. The fax spinners We're also
forced TO work on short time owing to
the high price of fax and the low price
of the ready article. Trade is not good
in the wooden spinning industry. but
the worsted spinners are tolera bly,
busy In other weaving branches there
is Il scarcity of orders
THE lace and embroidery manufac-
turers In the yoigtland and Rheinland
are still occupied. but business is very
unsatisfactory.
Conditions are the same i'm the cleo
trical industry. Many worknen have
been discharged.
I'm agricultural circles people are not
satisfied with the grain harvest. The
scarcity OF workman was not felt SO
much this year as last owing to the
number from other industries seeking
employment on farms"
