however. it assumes different forms.
English powder looks like bundle OF
sticks tied together thrust into the
breech of gun. The French make
up their powder in strips and look like
chewing gum.
So, when the great war broke, the
powder makers of nations were most
anxious to keep in touch with the
sources of cotton supply. When the
command of the seas passed into the
hands of the Allies there arose the
great difficulty on the part of the Ger.
mans OF maintaining the supply OF
cotton for powder. America, IN the
meantime. had become alarmed over
the closing down Of European mllls
and the loss of cotton markets. AM
erica did not know of the quantities OF
cotton that would be necessary IN the
manufacture of powder for so great a
war.
/ ENGLAND was anxious to keep cotton
from her enemies, but she was equal
Nv concerned with the necessity OF
keeping on friendly terms with the
nation that produced the mass OF the
cotton of the world. If she shut down
on cotton to Germany and to those
countries through which 1t might
reach Germany, might not ) he so an
tagonize the cotton people over mere
that they might decline to furnish hel
cotton?
So did England delay in declaring
cotton contraband. While cotton Oh,
.viously intended for Germany was
stopped, it has been permitted to &c
to Holland and Scandinavia and those
countries have used 10 times theI
normal consumption, much of it obvi,
ously leaking through. Fifty ship
loads. amounting to 100000 bales
are now held subject to the action OF
British prize courts. This, however
will all ultimately be paid for.

PALACE OF THE Gar.
Romantic History of the
Famed Winter Residence
of the Ruler of the
Russians.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 15.-The
famed Winter Palace of the Russian
Gar probably has seen more roman
tic history in the making than any
other building in Europe. Inc dra-
mas that have unfolded within its
walls would overshadow, if told, the
most highly colored imaginings of po-
Iitical fictionists, and the huge build
ing appears worthy of all the fasci-
mating memories which cling to it,
For generations Russia has reached
ont from this home of the empire to-
ward even more distant frontiers, to-
ward every compass point, building
the greatest of states. The winter
Palace, symbol Of the empire, may
hap endangered by the present leu
tonic invasion, is described in the fol-
lowing statement issued by the Ma
tional Geographic Society:
among the many places of Petro-
grad, a city wherein dukes, grand
dukes, diplomats and millionaires
dwell in abundance, the Tsar's Winter
Palace, a structure of truly imperial
immensely, stands out unapproacha-
Il BILE. 1t is one of the worlds largest
and most imposing buildings, and the
air of its rooms and corridors IS sur
charged with the romance of history.
During the capital seasons in peace
times, the most brilliant court in Eu-
rope could be seen here, when the
great rooms were ablaze with light
and Jewels, and filled with a splendid
display of gowns and uniforms.
THE Winter Palace stands on the
left bank of the Neva, on site be
uueathed to Peter the Great by his
high admiral, Count ApraXin. The
Empress Anne first made her resi-
dence in the admiral's house, which
was pulled down in 1854, and the
foundations Of the Winter Palace laid.
The building was first completed in
the reign of Catherine the Great. The
whole interior of the palace was de-
stroyed by fire in December, 1887,
when valuabes estimated at $4,000
GOO were consumed 1t was restored
on an even more elaborate scale in
1889. The structure Is four stories
high. or about 50 feet, with frontage
aof 455 feet and a width Of $50 feet
The principal entrance, the 'Perron
des Ambassadeurs,' is from the Ne-A
Iva River. Connected with the Winter
Palace is the Hermitage of Catherine
the Great. where the renowned queen
played first bohemian in bohemian
throng.
There is a table hung on the walls
of the palace, draped with a green
curtain, which contains Queen Gather

Gradually the restaurant menu Is

Various reasons exist for this situa'
ton.
France is understood to be fairly
teeming with peas, but there are ne
pickers. Also. there is no tin plate
from which to make the necessary
cans. The peas are drying on tht
vines. Mushrooms. which usually arc
packed in glass bottles, are neglected
because France has no glass. Bolog,
mas. cheese and frankfurters are pro
hibited for export in Germany.
Fishing Bad in England.
According to importers who are in
close touch with conditions abroad
dire times have struck England and
Scotland. To the submarine policy OF
Germany is attributed the complete
cessation of the fishing industry in
Scotland. The persistent warfare up
on the trawlers has played havoc with
the fishermen, who are afraid to ven
ture forth after the herring and had
dock. says the New York Evening
Mail.
1t is said that because of this there

yield of the different strains of the
Earliana variety was from % to 38 1-2
tons per acre. At $40 per ton, the u.s.
ual canning factory price, the returns
will be $3.50 to 1885 per acre. The diff
ference in yields between the different
strains indicate the need of securing
the best.
The Earliana is the earliest tomato
and a good yielder, but the plant is not
very hardy nor is the fruit the best.
Bonny Best and Chalk's Jewell, while
a little later than the Earliana, pro-
duces better fruit, but little less of
it. The plants started April 9Th pro-
duced the best yield. 1t was found
that it required at least 100 days from
the planting of the seeds to the pro-
duction of ripe fruit, which means that
the plants must be started in a hot
bed, green house or in the house and
transplanted at least once before be-
ing set in the fields in order to make
