MY LADYS TINY JEWEL SAFES.

WRITTEN FOR THE SUNDAY REPUBLIc.
Superlatfve wealth Of jewels leads the
American woman OF fashion to exercise
her ingenuity to the utmost to devise
means whereby her gems may Be esnve
nientty placed and yet be % guarded that
the cunning Of professional robbers and
the pryins Of servants under temptation
be baffied.
As accommodations Of valuable jewels IN
crease the problem Of guarding them be-
comes a more and more dinicult one.
Tn bulk Of large pieces renders Inn
practicable many of he excellent hiding
places that used to serve TO protect a
small collection Of precious baubles.
There are very attractive ladies' Rfes,
for the secure locking up Of jew
els. They are made to fit into q small
space in my lady's chamber, although
there are timcrous souls who assert they
never could sleep In ther room with It, lest
its presence might draw marauders.
Instead. they use the safes in their libra
ries, although frequently only papers and
jewels of comparatively small value are
placed in these, the more important and
costly articles being stored In the safet,

cunning" however. and give one a de-

STRANGE FUNERAL.
Services Held Over Casket Which Was
Filled With Dried Apples.

From the New Orleans Times Democrat.
Speaking of odd funerals. about the
strangest thing yer saw in this line was
up In Arkansas a number of years ago.
said the old timer, and | doubt II any
man ever witnessed a more curious pro-
ceeding than the happening I have in
mind. There was very old and very &c
centric couple living in that section OF the
state. They had been living there for
many years but never had much to do
with the other people of that part of the
county, They had no children. They en-
tered into an agreement to make arrange
ments for the final crossing, for each rec
ognzed that it would only be short time
before the end would come to each OF
them They got the undertaken OF the
neighborhood to take their measurements,
make their collins and send them around
to the home.
They were plain wooden boxes, or that
rough sort used In remote sections of the
country in those days They were put
out in an old store-room along with lot
of provisions and other things of use and
value. The collins remained side by side
for some time. In the meantime the good
housewife had busted herself with the
little details of her home work. She had
dried a lot of apples In the summer, and
having no place to put them just at the
time she threw them into the coffin
which had been provided for her. think
ing she would take them out in day or

New York, Januarp yesterday, at
old mayor walked out Tammany is once
more in control. The fusionists are dis
banded, scattered, blown before the pot-
| ical breezes as autumn leaves before the
winter winds. Seth Low, as an individu-
al has not gained friends as a politician
he has lost prestige, and as mayor he
was voted down as unsuccessful. That
he worked well and hard no one can deny
He did not bring about the economies he
promised, and he did not establishe the
| reformations he promised. But he did Sc
cure greater values for the money ex-
pended. His was a difficult task His
position was that of the conscientious
citizen in political office, seeking to adj
minister great trust without the ma
chinery of politics behind him to sustain
him. in our modern times, the mayor of
a great city must have an organization
behind him. The strength OF a Tammany
mayor is Tammany; there was not
strength in the fusionists as an organiza-
ton, hence there was nothing behind
Mayor Low, more than a nebulous public
sentiment.
Mayor Mcclellan has Tammany behind
him. To many citizens this is interpreted
as an evil influence. The young man is
strict organization man. He has been
coddled, nursed and caressed as a Tam
many infant. In it's admiration of him.
1t set others aside, nominated and elected
him mayor. The doors to a great politi-
cal future are in front of him All citi-
zens wish him we'll They hope he will so
acquit himself that the doors now ajar
will open to him. AS he performs his diff
ficult task, will be his reward. But he
will have to perform his work before he
puts on the armor to fight for higher
offices. Some jealous. enthusiastic and
overwise friends believe that Mcclellan
will give strength to state or national
tickets by placing him upon them. The
municipal election did not prove McClel-
lan's strength, and nothing but the trial
of office will determine his competency
1t was Tammany that won, not Nc
Clelan. and the citizens who voted for
him are entitled to his services for the
term OF two years. As mayor. or as to
his ability to perform the duties of his
office, Mcclellan is a myth.

Wheat Growing Improved.

Then, again, great progress has been
made In proving that a large portion of
the United States which has not sufficient
rainfall to raise the ordinary crop plants
can be used to great advantage in the
growing of peculiar kind of wheat The
land between the Tooth and 10th prin-
cipal meridians is thus affected and COM
prises one-third of the area of the United
States. On this land as a result of our
experiments year before last ten million
bushels of wheat were harvested. Last
year it was twenty-five million. In few
years the production will be 100, 000, 900
bushels.
Il have the greatest confidence in the
agriculturist as the real sustaining power
of the prosperity of the United States
So long as the crops are boundless the
railroads will make money hauling to the
market or to the seaboard. So long as the
railroads make money they produce divi-
dends and they keep the shops going.
When the railroads cut or pass dividends
the whole country takes alarm. Mer-
chants eurtai their stock, manufacturing
establishments shut down and contem-
plated Industries are abandoned Hence
there is no question in my mind as to the
important part the farmer Is playing and
will continue to play in the financial ar
fairs of the United States.

To Keep Farmers Prosperous.

Steps are being taken to keep the
farmers prosperous, even If some crops
should fail. There are many questions
that have to be seriously considered and
solved For instance, the boil weevil is
threatening the cotton crop The govern
ment is undertaking operations to ascer-
tain the cause of this pest and to stamp
1t out We hope we will succeed, or the
consequences may be very serious.
Constant experiments are being made
to show that there are other crops with
which the American farmer Is not famil-
lar that can be raised at greater profit
than some of those he is now engaged in
producing. The cultivation of sugar beet
is going to become much more general
than 1t is at the present time Six years
ago the production Of beet sugar in this
country was 5000 tons. One year ago
the production was 100000 tons. The pro-
duction is going to increase. and it means
