SHOWING THE WEDDING GIFTS.
Charming Exhibitions Made at French
Brldals.

In Paris most charming conceits are
devised to enhance the effect of an
exhibition of wedding gifts in the
brides home. Sometimes the furni-
ture is removed from one or two
rooms to give space to show cases,
where is made a tasteful array of the
most delicate parts of the trousseau,
and numberless bivelots. The heavier
articles are suspended from screens
or round the walls from hanging rib
bons, pictures, or even dados Of
crinkled papier velours in some sub
dued shade. One of the most telling
arrangements is dispersal against the
walls of small tables covered with mig
nonette-green silk, and on which are
artistically displayed the bridal treas
ures, to each of which is attached with
a pink ribbon the card of the giver.
The contents of every table are part
ly yelled by vaporous tulle held up to
the wall by some bracket lamp, high
~statuette, and draped at the sides with
large choux in pink satin. The color
ing depends evidently on the prevail
ing tones of the house decoration.
Such a treatment is light, tasteful and
not too expensive. A scheme which
involves larger reception rooms and a
greater ontlay of time and money con-
sists OF a triumphal arch In bamboo at
the entrance to every door, often COW
cred with climbers, whilst through the
whole suite of rooms are distributed
in ~profusion palm trees, j%ardinieres,
tall vases and corbeilles full of flow
ers. giving the impression Of a bower
of flowers and foliage, in which are
nestled the marvels of the brides out
fit and of her friends generosity and
taste.

A JEWISH PEDDLER
By E. GRAFTON A

Since the summer had come, | had
left my office in the town and had
gone out to that old plantation upon
which l was reared and which recently
l have purchased.
No lack of occupation have / there,

murs and the old-fashioned roses
bloom; for me at shutdown the negroes
chant their plaintive melodies; and for
me The warm night falls, the twinkling
stars come out, and the moon rises
over the pines. Also Isaacsohn is ac-
customed to visit me there. Now
Isaacsohn represents the restless
energy and the kindly genius of
a wandering commercialism, for he
is a peddler, and goes from door to
door bearing a voluminous pack and
an apt and ready tongue.
1t was ten o'clock in the midsummer
morning when last this cheerful itin-
Grant came my way. Overhead the
sun shone with exceptional fervor, and
out in the dusty middle-stretch of the
highway the heatwaves rose and SHIN
mered until the white dog-roses in the
farther hedge seemed but the shadows
of blossoms grown faint and tremu-
lous. Through this quivering haze l
beheld from my seat on my broad
vine-shaded piazza an odd figure COM

to prevent the cows going into an al
ley or feed room while stabling.
The diagram inclosed herewith, says
a writer in Prairie Farmer, shows one
of the handy gates we have in use.
They are great conveniences. The
gate proper is made of pine material
five inches in width. The gate, of
course, is made to fit the place where
needed. The two outer pieces are
longer and serve as a part of the
hanger. The gate is hung upon a
two-inch gas pipe, which is in length
twice the width of the gate. Iron
straps serve the purpose of hangers
and slide upon the gas piping as a
track.
In u barn we have in use eight of
these handy gates and would not
think of getting along without them.
In M or two instances when stock
got loose they doubtless saved the
lives of the animals as our feed room
is in easy reach of the stable.

ROAD TARRINe.
It is Carried on on a Large Scale in
France.

Road-tarring on a large scale has
been een in France during the prep
aration for the Grand Prix race. The
tarring is carried out on the L~assail-
ly system by the use of the most inn
proved apparatus for heating the tar
road. Commenced on the 25th of May,
the operation lasted scarcely ten days
for the 100000 square yards which
were covered, employing two gangs,
each made up of six drivers and eight
horses, together with eight men for
spreading the tar, counting the men
needed for sanding the road after the
tarring. A fine road is the result of
this operation, says the Scientific
American, and 1t shows that by the
use of the proper apparatus a large
extent of road can be treated within
a short time and with a small amount
of labor. At the last moment the ex-
cess of sand which covers the layer of
tar will be swept off by the four
sweeper wagons employed by M. Las
sally, when the cars will be able to
run under ideal conditions. Such a
process, far from being an extra ex-
pense, is now recognized as an actual
economy, seeing that the cost of keep.
ing up the road becomes much less.
and this pays for the tarring ex.
penses, and may even exceed the lat
ter, as has been found during a long
series of observations made in France.

Production Of silver.

The production Of silver in the
United States has not varied rad
ically since 1899. and we arrive at our
judgment of a radical variation by
comparison with the change In the
output of gold, which has indeed been
radical, says the Black Hills Mining
Review. There was a difference OF
$4,000, 900 ounces. approximately rs
per cent, between the low production
of 1894 and the high of 1892, while
there has been no new extreme with
In 10 years. The annual output OF
gold has considerably more than
doubled within that time. The vari-
alton In the worlds silver production
during the 10 year period has been
less than that of the United States,
the high extreme of 1898 exceeding
the low of 1891 by about 26 per cent.
The worlds annual production of gold
has. on the other hand, been going
steadily forward, except for the inter
ruption by the Boer war, practically
trebIing since 1891. The United
States has bought no silver in 10
years. The last purchases were un.
der the act of 1880, by which In ex.
cess OF 1858. 600. 900 ounces were &C.
quired. During the 20 years follow.
ing 1873 the government purchased
almost 500. 0ee, 900 ounces. or at the
average rate OF about 25. 900
unces per year.

FARM oTE

Is n the power OF the agriculturists
to make them SC.
For cutting bands, in threshing

The farmer who now selects and
saves seed corn, and takes good care
of it, has laid the foundation of a good
crop next year.-Farm Journal.
Taking the country as a whole, and
averaging the various crops. one
thing is sure-the harvest is a very
encouraging one, with no signs of
famine ahead.

to spoil. That means loss, and loss
means hard times by-and-by.
