Delicate Gown Made
for Empress Eugenie
It la said that the most perishable
thing ever made was the gown of Em
press Eugenie designed for hter to wear
at a ball given at the Tullerles upon
her return from the opening of the
Suez canal.
The ultimate In dress was made un
der the personal direction of the em
press. Fgur women labored steadily
for - six months embroidering the
flounces. It took two months to manu
facture the gauzes The cloth was
Woven on machinery .especially con
structed and was the only kind of this
material ever fashioned. The threads
were so fine that the weavers were
obliged to wear powerful magnifying
{lasses.
The dress was an Ivory white. It
was made with 15 skirts one upon the
other. Thirty-five yards of gauze were
required for each and the effect was a
diaphanous mist. A thousand yards
of material was used, 237 yards being
required for each of the two oversklrts.
The flounces resembled cobwebs, and
delicate embroidery marked the low
cut waist. So fine was the material
that the two oversklrts could be drawn
through a bracelet, and two of the un
derskirts through a finger ring.—De-
troit News.
Keene Won and Lost •
- Millions of Dollars
It is to be questioned whether his
tying up with Jay Gould or the $400,000
he wagered that William Jennings
Bryan would be elected in 1896 was
James It. Keene's greatest error* of
judgment. To his then associate,
Gould, Keene attributed his losses in
Western Union and wheat in the late
•70s.
For all of his speculations over 50
years, Keene, when he died, in 1913,
left hut $2,000,000, and he scored more
failures In hie operations than suc
cesses. After his experience with Jay
Gould, other reverses followed and
Keene was a bankrupt in 1884. By
1892. he was on his feet again, through
*. his manipulations for the whisky com
bination and American Sugar Refining
company.
Later In the same decade, he won
and lost and won again on Brooklyn
Rapid Transit,' only to
In Third avenue railway speculations.
At the time of the flotation of United
States steel he hit the celling, only to
fall to the floor shortly after with the

Home of Pineapple
The pineapple la of American ori
gin, growing wild in Brazil and Mex
ico. It has been known since the Bix-
and was first cultivat
ed solely for royalty' In the gardens of
v their private grounds. Brazil still
• possesses the best and most appreciat
ed varieties, although In other coun
tries much work has been done to de
velop a better pineapple.
It is claimed that the flavor and
evennesrf of pulp of the Brazilian pine
apples have not been equaled. The
season in Brazil comes in December
and it has been a source of wonder to
tourists arriving in Brazil during the
pineapple season why some one has
not undertaken to make shipments to
the United States, where there should
be a splendid market for them, arriv
ing in midwinter.

THE ALAMANCE GLEANER
"Wanted" Men Hard to
Find in the Far East
Major Bailey is wanted, the notice
on the boarding told me; and Instantly
my mind flew beck to a land where
boardings are heavy with notices of
wanted men who are never found.
Every town in the East has a lengthy
list of men who are wanted for crimes.
The natives affirm that no true crim
inal Is ever brought to book, bnt that
the police, to Justify themselves, from
time to time, make an Innocent man
pay the penalty of another's sin.
The fact Is, of course, that the or-
I dinary methods of detection as we
know them In the West are useless In
the East. Jew there can read notices,
even though they be printed In the
vernaculars of the populace, and so a
jf/ler parades the streets with a little
drum (followed by a rabble of
chins) to tell tbem of the latest man
who is wanted by the police.
The people come to their doors, and
when the crier has passed and tho
i taps of his drum have grown faint
I they whisper among themselves. The
chances are that they all know where
the wanted man Is hiding, but they
are all resolved never to give him up.
Not all rewards In the world will
make them tell the trier what they
know; for the East la a land where
vendettas still prevail and every na
tive Is aware that a man possesses
power to strike even after he Is dead.
So, after the crier has pasted, the
criminal leaves his hiding place and
moves on to the next township, towJrd
the frontier where also he is sure of
shelter and security.
Across the line he will be one of
a hundred brigand*banda that rove
among the hills from Kashmir to
Chinese Turkestan. There every crim
inal is beyond 'the arm of the law.—

World's Highest Phoitm

It appears that the. highest tele
phone station in the, world Is that at
the meteorological sttaervatory on top
ef Monte Boss, the Alps, at a height of
15,460 feet. Since ttie station Is occu
pied only for a short period each year,
the poles carrying the telephone wire
are removed at the end of each season
and re-erected wflta this Is required.
It Is interesting to kngr iW the
unusual conditions of weather which
are met with In the mountain region
do not hinder, but, on the other hand,
really favor the. operation of the trie

at the center of each span the wire
touches the snow, bat as the. snow
Is quite dry If Is a good insulator and
no leakage trbubles are found.
Indeed,, the flbal section* of the line,'
from the Col du Lys to the'peak. Is
simply laid across the snow without
the use of any other support.. Where
the poles are used, to prevent any
breakage of the wire, owing to move

The line crosses two valleys, each

they must be crossed by a single' span.

Ereosoted Fane• Potto
Lout tar Many Yean
The fact that wood la becoming
scarce and labor more expensive is
rausing fanners to seek means of mak
ing their fence posts last longer, say*
the Now York Times. Experimenters
have shown that creosote will solve the
problem, according to the Mow Jersey
College Agriculture.
Prof. B. ItSaross of the college states
that fence posts treated la creosote will
last three /ga live times as- long as
untreated Mfts, this .being especially
true of tnivfiofter varieties such as
willow, asly elm, soft maple, whlto
cedar and cottonwood. Many consider
It Inadvisable, however, to creosote
the harder woods, including oak, red
cedar and chestnut
The college recommends ths use of
round posts for creosotlng rather
than split posts, as the penetration
will be more uniform. All bark must
be stripped off and the timber well
seasoned before crsosotlng.
"Creosote eight to ten Inches above
the depth to which the post is to bo
set since most rotting takes place at
or Just below the ground line," says
Dr. * Gross. "Posts three or four
Inches In diameter at the top give
best results, *as they are strong enough
for most purposes and usually last as
long as larger posts. It Is Importknt
to get thorough and deep penetration
of the creosote. A good vat la made
of an old ateel' barrel aet over a
roughly constructed furnace. The cre
osote la kept at the boiling point and
each batch of posts is left In the vat
about two - hours, depending on the
rapidity of penetration. One' Inch
penetration should be obtained. In
order to determine thla a post may
be split or aawed In two. The topa
of the posts ahould either be dipped
or painted with hot creoaote. A farm
er having a wood lot may °>rell spend
a Yew days this winter cutting posts.
Next winter these posts will be prop
erly seasoned for creoaotinj.*
Cornstarch Industry In
America Is Enormoo
v
The manufacture of cornstarch hi
grown to such proportions in this cottar
try that the Industry now consumes
about 60,000,000 bushels of America's
great crop each year, according to the
Department of Agriculture at Wash
ington. From each bushel of con
the average manufacturer makes thir
ty-three pounds of cornstarch, and in
1921 the ten largest concerns made
nearly 1,900,000,000 • pounds of this
product, which was more than 90 per
cent of the total produced that year.
This Industry, which began la the
United States in 1844, has been grow
ing rapidly In recent years. By 1880
the factories had reached a productive!
capacity of 280,000,000 pounds, and
practically aH of It was consumed here.
By 1921 there .were nearly SO plants,
and $6,000,000 worth of the output
was exported. Theae figures are from
• report recently mada public by the
department following a canvass of the
Industry.
"This department, through the bu
reau of chemistry, which enforces the
food and drugs act, finds that corn
starch, with the possible exception of
granulated sugar, ,1s the least adulter*
atefl of ail food products appearing on
the markets," continued the depart
ment. la addition to being used for
food, It Is also Used for aaay tech
nical purposes.
"In the food industry cornstarch
finds Its greatest use' as a basis fot
the manufacture of com syrup or gla
coae, about one-half of that produced
la 1921' having been used fifr that pur

TO THOTARMERS OF ALAMANCE
About Fertilizer Tix, Buying Explo

tion, and a Curb Market
At the meeting of your County
Commissioners lust Moi.day, dur
ing the disoussiou for aud against
county ageut work Home rather
wild Btatemeuts were umde.
One gentle-nan Hinted thai the
fertilizer tax farmers had to pa)
iu North Caroliua amounted to 25
cents per bag, or 12 50 per toil.
This is twelve and one-half times
the actual cost of the fertilizer
tax to farmers. If the gentleman
who made thia statement and
those present who heard it made
will read section 4102 of the Con
solidated Statutes of North Caro
lina, you . will find that this tax
amounts to 20 cents per ton. The
first part of this section reads us
follows: "For the purpose of de
fraying expenses connected with
the inspection of fertilizers aud
fertilizer material iu thisS(ati>,
there shall be paid to the Depart*-
ment of Agriculturu a charge of
20 cents per to i ou suck fertili
zers and fertilizer material."
It might be a good idea fur the
opponents of demonstration work
in Alamance county to be more
careful before making statements.
1 am merely writing in order
to keep the record siraixlit, and
to show ilnti it is poseibl.4 for
even the opposition to make mis
takes. ,
In regard to the buying of ex
plosive from the Government,
which WHS discussed at this meet
ing, while il is possible for a uroup
of farmers to come together and
ordPr this material, experience
shows t hat not a single order of
this kind has been sent in from
this Stale to the Washiuutou
office, but that every order has
been forwarded by county agents.
It is too much trouble for auj*
farmer to do this work for noth
ing, hence, the importance of
having the county agent to do it
for you.
I have boon thinking ser'ously
of the statement made by ODD gen
tleman, who said that liter* was
no market in Burlington for eggs,
meat, ell., at this time of the
year. If I remember correctly this
gent email stated that the stores
io Burlington were ouly offering
22$ cents per dozen for eggs last
week. I asked about the'price of
eggs ia Raleigh Monday inorniug
and found *hat fresh infertile
OSS' were selling at 35 cents per
dozen wholesale, or 45 ceuta per
dozen re'ail. What reasons are
there for this difference in price
at Burllugton autl at Raleigh?
ID the first place the eggs sold'
on toe Raleigh market,' (uot nil of
the eggs sold), but the ones to
which I refer which brought 45
cents per dozen retail were guar
anteed to be fresh and infertile.
I wonder if the man who WAS of
fered 22|conts per dozen in Bur
lington would guarantee his eggs
to be fresh and infertile.
Farmeito need to be educated
along this line and no man is In
better position to do this for them
than the County agent. As a rule
country eggs as they come from
the farm are of all sizes, shapes,
and colur, while the quality lacks
a lot of being uniform, audi -the
eggs may lx; either dirty or clean.
Such eggs will not bring as much
fflontoV as clean uniform, well
graded, infertile eggs will bring.
The farmer should standardize
his poultry and not have a general
mixture of breeds oil his farm.
