of the crowded grandstand from which
he spoke when panic seemed about to
seize the surging throng of specta-

introduced by Harry st. George Tuck
er, head OF the Exposition Company.

crowd reached Its height and the civil
guards In front of the grandstand
seemed about to be starting for their
posts.
The president jumped upon a table
which had been placed in the speakers
balcony and cried out to the men Of
Virginia to live up to their traditions
of gallantry and cease pushing and
crowding which was threatening the
lives OF women and children In the
assemblage,
The crowd headed the presidents

his speech. the immense audience be-
came uneasy and the crushing re-

restored and the president made his
speech from the top Of the table.

We Never Miss Them.

In Some Americans Abroad" iii
Everybody's, Booth Harrington says
of a certain class of Americans to be
met with in Europe.
The latter class appears to be in
creasing very rapidly; the class of the
alienated, of those who say: 'Shawly
you never intend returning to the
States to live! It's all very we'll 10
run back for a few weeks now and
then to see ones friends-but living
there! Oh, quite impossible!"
Perhaps this seems exaggerated
Perhaps it may be thought founded
not on reality but upon comic week
ly. On the contrary, talk of the kind
is exceedingly common in the AmeTi-
can colonies on the Continent, and the
people who say such things are those
who usually manage to mention, in the
course of any conversation you may
have with them, that dear Countess
Blank was saying to them, only yes
terday," and also that Lord Feather
sonhaugh, etc.
Such people see not only too
much but too little in the life over
here, which life means to them a
really interesting and thrilling strug-
gle for what they believe to be posi-
ton and social recognition How
ever, their climbing upward through
the Continental foreign colonies and
out into native Continental society IS
more picturesque than most climb
ing at home, because upon the Cont
nent it is more visible and consPicu-
Gus. The rungs Of the ladder are
sharply defined. And, Of course,
climbing American finds his task
much easier in a European city than
he would find it in his own home
town. since $50 far as origin goes)
all Americans look alike 10 most OF
the worldly people of Europe and are
taken up for what they are worth
and not seldom taken in for all they
are worth"

Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound \
PHOTOGRAPH Of Hindu Women.

The curious fate of a photograph
taken in the mills during the late fac
tory commission comes from Bonn
bay. 1t contained a part OF three Hin
du women who quite understood the
taking of a picture and came with
alacrity dressed in their best; they
were taken in a group with several
Mohammedan men.
Alas, The canons of decorum were
broken. When the photograph APP
peared the lurking objections of caste
took concrete shape. The shameless
ones were boycotted, no one would go
near them or touch them, other wom-
en- would not allow them to go to the
same wells for water, stall holders and
shops refused their wares
Finally the injured women petit
toned one of the agents of the mill TO
apply to the government for the re-
turn of the negative. This was done,
the offending negative was handed to
the husbands OF the women and was

Paper From Beet Pulp.

A report comes from Utah to the
effect that Mr.. James Brashear, !
veteran paper maker now located at
Ogden, Utah, having come from Des
Moines, Iowa, believes that he can
make paper from beet pulp and is
willing to start up a plant for this
purpose if such a one can be organ
lied. He claims to have built the Ma
tional Paper Mills, at Rock Island,
Illinois, and to know whereof he
speaks, but we should fancy that the
very skillful manipulators of sugar
beets in France and Germany woull
have utilized the pulp for paper max
ing long ago If it could have been
made industrially successful.
The trouble with some of these
ventures is that they are scientifically
correct, but not industrially profita-
BILE, and we should think it doubt
full as TO making beet pulp paper
profitable.

A Mole Farm.

Now comes a man with a proposition
to start a mole farm. The first mole
farm in America will soon be estab-
lished in the southern part of the
Cumberland Valley by Thomas
Thrush, a young Carlisle man." says
a press dispatch from Carlisle, Pa.
Several acres of ground will be
scooped out to the depth of FIVE feet
and sand filled in. The bottom OF the
plant will be of brick and a three foot
wall will be erected around the entire
plot, thus caging the moles in. Mole
skin, for which the animal is priced,
is much more valuable than sealskin.
A New York man recently paid $4,000
for a coat made of mOles' fur. The
animal is a little larger than the rat
and is of about the same color
Bricks being costly, it is suggested
that instead of several acres 100 feet
square be the dimensions Of the trial
farm."-Forest and Stream.

wHERe LINEN is MADE.
Fields Blue With Flowers-Then
White With Bleaching Cloth.

There is nothing prettier than a
field Of Irish fax in full bloom. The
stems are about 80 inches high, says a
writer in Truth. They are very slen-
der and Of a pale green.
On each stem is a flower in an eN.
quisite tone OF blue; something be-
tween a cornhower and a forget.me-
not. The little flower is not of very
robust constitution The petals soon
fall, and then a seed forms which,
when given time TO do so. produces
quantities OF what we call linseed
chin" is the Celtic name for fax
But when the fax is grown for the
manufacture Of linen it is pulled up
before the seed has had time to ma
ture.
After having been exposed to the
air for a few days the fax Is laid in
water, and during the fortnight that
this process lasts the odious smell
with which it fills the offended air is
Of a remarkably powerful character
AS the local guides say: "Shure it's
just the fax fermintin', It's power
full smell intirely, but there's no dan.
ger in it, glory be to God"
The soaking makes it easy to sepa-
rate the straw from the fibre by bruis-
ing it between rollers and then sus-
pending it through an opening in the
top of a machine in which horizon
tai shaft with wooden blades revolves
at the rate of $50 times a minute. Part
ed forever are the fibre, fax and the
straw, now tow.
Next comes the spinning into yarn,
done in immense mills, and after that
the yarn is woven into the fabric il,
self Finally comes the bleaching,
when the linen is laid out on the green
field to be whitened by rain and sun
and wind.
These long strips of snowy white
ness on the green turf surprise the
stranger. He thinks it some sort OF
top dressing, spread upon the land
to fertilize it. Belfast is the centre
of the linen trade.

Tree Trunk Filter.

A well.known Austrian engineer, NJ.
Phster, is stated to have discovered a
remarkable property OF the trunks Of
trees, namely that of retaining the salt
Of sea-wster that has filtered through
the trunk in the direction of the fibres,
says The Railway Review. He has
consequently constructed an apparatus
designed to utilize this property in OBJ
tanning potable water for the use Of
ships crews.
This apparatus consists OF a pump,
which sucks up the sea.water into
reservoir, aud then forces it into the
filter formed by the tree trunk.
AS soon as the pressure reaches l.5
to 2.5 atmospheres the water is seen,
at the end OF from one to three min
utes, according to the kind Of wood
used, TO make its exit from the other
extremity OF the trunk, at first in
drops and then in fine streams, the
water thus filtered being potable,
freed, in fact, from every particle OF
the usual saline taste which is such
q drawback to water obtained in the
ordinary manner.

New York correspondence Pitts
burg Dispatch: Many women each
summer, rather than trust their cats
TO an ordinary caretakers neglect,
have carried them on long trips away
from the city, thereby burdening them
selves with many extra cares. To
board ones pets at some exclusive
home for cats of aristocratic afilia-
lions seems the ideal arrangement,
but it doesn't always pan out salts
factorily. One of New York's fash
ionable matrons who has an Angora
cat TO which she is very much attach
ed did not wish to trust it to the mercy
OF a servant while she was out of
town, so she placed it in an attractive
cat home No price was settled for
it's board, and the owner was greatly
surprised last week to receive a bill
for $25 a week for its keep. The total
includes 81 a day for baths and Is
cents a day for cooking and serving
each meal. The cat home thinks that
1886 a day is as little as any well
bred feline can expect to live on these
days. At present the bill is unpaid,
and the home is holding the Angora.

The Wisdom Of the Bee.

We marvel at what We call the wis
dom of the hive bee, yet there is one
thing she never learns from expert
ence, and that is, that she is storing
up honey tor the use of man. She
could not learn this, because such
knowledge is not necessary to her own
well-being. Neither does she ever
know when she has enough to carry
her through the winter. This knowl-
edge, again, is not important. Gather
and store honey as long as there is
any to be had is her motto, and In
that rule she is safe.-John Bur-
roughs, in the Atlantic.
