KA1sER's BUSINESS APTITUDE

Now Pushing Use of Output of Pot
 teries for Building PurpOses.
 The Emperor has recently shown himself to be an excellent business man by the energetic and efficient way in which he has pushed the sale of the manufactures of the pottery works at Cadinen, which belong to him. These pottery works. where majolica is the principal article produced, have been the Kaisers private property for several years, and his Majesty per sonally supervises their management. Apart from acting as managing direc- tor of the enterprise, the London Standard says, his Majesty also con trives to stimulate the sale of these manufactures among his friends and wealthy men.
 Recently majolica from the imperial potteries was used to decorate the hall and staircases of new home at Dan zig, and the Emperor, hearing of this, announced his intention of going to see the new building. The two Der lin architects who had designed the decorations were ordered to be there lO IcCSlNc nlS AdJSoty- hC TAdloCl , on entering the house and seeing his majolica, said: "The purveyor comes to visit his patron" After ascertain ing by personal observation that the us. to which majolica is put in this house opens an entirely new field, the Kaiser commanded the architect, Herr Lesser, to visit him in Berlin in order f0 oYO1ain matters tO him more fullV. It is now announced that in conse- quence of the royal visit to the house in Danzig. several builders of new houses in Berlin have decided to use imperial majolica for their decora- tions The result is that there is boom in maiolica from the imperial potteries at Cadinen The .Kaiser's wares are in high favor, and new GUS toners are sending in orders day by day.

The Alaska wheat" fake. which has been pretty thoroughly exposed in the west, in now attracting attention in the east. Commenting on the result of some experiments made by a New Jersey farmer with this cereal gold brick" the Boston Transcript re- marks: If the wheat of Alaska can reclothe our old but still responsive acres with harvests of the golden grain, it will be an obligation of no mean magnitude to be added to what we already owe her for past and pc- tential yields of gold and copper. ium- Der and coal" Unfortunately for the responsive acres which are awaiting the coming of Alaska wheat, that fa- nous cereal has been repeatedly ex- posed as a fraud. Its latest previous appearance in the limelight was in Idaho, and the Saturday Evening Post, by giving 1t a page of praise, brought it to the attention of scien- lists and agricultural experts, with the result that the government issued a fraud order which prohibited the Ida ho promoters circulating any litera ture regarding it.

OLD COINS RISING IN vAnUA

Collectors Paying High Prices for
 Special DenOmin atiOns.
 The advance in value of rare Amerl- can gold coins is strikingly manifested by a comparison of the prices paid re- gently and in the period between 1860 and 1895. For some reason collectors formerly took little interest in coins struck in gold. It was not that the in vestment required was too great, for they paid high prices for the early rare American cents, but they simply did not seem to fancy gold coins, and what are now considered the greatest coin rarities went for the proverbial song. says an exchange
 One of the best illustrations of tho advance is shown by the price brought this year by the two unique $50 gold pieces for which w. H. Woodin of New York paid the worlds record price of $10,000 each, an exchange says. Vet eral dealers in coins declare that it is by no means an exaggsration to say that in 1877, the year of the issue of the $50 pieces mentioned, very few col lectors would have bought them at InelT DulllOn value III SOlu LOT 91UO This statement is borne out by the rec ords of coin sales in the latter pat of the '70s. Some of the rarest of the gold pattern coins, in which series the $50 pieces are ciassed. sold then for little more than face value. Now the same coins would bring a hundred times as much.
 One of the rarest of American gold coins is the s gold piece made by the private minting firm of Dubosq & Co. at San Francisco in 1850. In 1884 a specimen of this coin offered at auc- tion brought only s6.40. That was the last and only time the Dubosq s piece has been offered for sale. As matter of fact, the specimen sold is the only one of which there is any record. Even the mint cabinet at Philadelphia does not contain one of these pieces. It is not known where this solitary speci- men is now. Its value can only be guessed at.

For taxes out of the common one must turn back to the days of George III. the London Chronicle says. For in the reign of that monarch one was almost forced to "d!e beyond ones means" The army and the navy were in urgent need of money. and the chan cellor was at his wits end.

The Experimental Plot.

Every farmer should have, and easi- ly can nave, a small experimental plot of ground for testing the soil and diff ferent crops. No farmer can ever know the highest capacity of his soil till he has fertilized small portion of his land very heavily with a com plete balanced mixture of fertilizers, planted the very best of seed, and given the crop, or crops. extra good cultivation. Many farmers hear or read of 100 bushels of corn to the acre, or several hundred dollars an acre made in growing special crops, and do not believe that it is possible. They do not believe it because they have never done half so we'll on their own land, but they never put half the amount of fertilizers, nor half as good seed, nor half as good cultivation, to the crops they grew. Try an acre, or even a half acre, of ground on your own farm this coming season and see what results can be had from it. Be till the piece of land Is as fertile as it can well be made with at least three different kinds of fertilizing mat ter. Prepare the land in the very best manner, use the best seed. and give a dozen cultivations. You will surprise yourself with results.-Journal of Agriculture.
