Glass Beads Again in Fashion.

From The London Mall.
A sudden demand has sprung up for
beads of glass and metal in Vienna,
writes our correspondent. Purses and
handbags made of beads have come into
fashion. Beads are being used in huge
quantities as ornamentation for dresses
Necklaces and collars Of colored beads
are everywhere demanded. and many
ornaments are covered with pretty pat
terms in multicolored beads.
The sudden fashion has placed the Bo-
hemian glass manufacturers in great
straits. The trade of beadmaking had
practically died out. The wOrkmen have
either died or lost their skill and i'm
mense orders have TO be refused. Boxes
Of beads stored in warehouses as worth
less for many years are being sold for
incredibly high prices.

WILL NOT ACT HASTILY.
Recognition of Estrada's Govern
- ment Not Considered Yet.

The announced appointment by the So
called provisional government of Nicara-
qua of consul general at New Orleans
is regarded by the State Department Off
Gals as altogether premature. and the
recognition of such an officer is. at pres
ent at least. out of the question. The
policy OF the State Department as to the
recognition of the revolutionary party in
foreign countries is we'll established, and
it will not be departed from in the case
of Nicaragua
The United States has uniformly held
to the policy of Withholding communica-
ton with revolutionists unless they were
In practical control Of the machinery of
the government of the country with the
consent of the people and in a position
to fulfill possibly all treaty obligations to
foreign countries. The question OF the
recognition of the provisional government
proclaimed by Gen. Estrada has not so
far, been considered by the State Depart
ment.

Intensive Farming.
the Denver Republican

The abandoned farms of the east and
the wasted fields of the middle west could
all be made productive and remunerative
if the fertility of the exhausted soil should
be restored. The neglect of those re-
sponsibe for this condition of many
farms is a warming to the men of today
if they would avoid the expense Of restor-
ing. soil from which the elements OF fer
tility have been drained. OF all ferns of
conservation the most important in many
respects is preserving the fertility of the
SOIL The increasing demand for food in
cident too growth in population makes it
imperative and the successful farmers Of
the future will be those who give it the
attention il deserves.
