Homely.
Words have curious histories and are
subject to strange tra-t informations. The
word "let." for examjile, which in
former times, a- we m iv see from its
use in the authorized version of the.
Hible, sometimes meant to hinder, has
now come to have a precisely opposite
mean in.-;. "Homelike" is a term of com
mend at'on. but "homely," which is the
same wt-rd with the last tyvo letters
omit'.e 1, a; we may say, has gradually
taken on an unfavorable significance.
A German scho'ar, who is now a jto
fessor in an American college, L fond of
relating a bit of his early experience in
speaking the English language.
He hal been in this country only a few
weeks when he was invited to jiass an
evening at the house of a Philadelphia
gentleman, who had three very attract
ive daughters. All the members of the
family did their best to make bis call
agreeable; and he enjoyed the evening
greatly.
When he took his leave he naturally
expressed his gratitude somewliat effus
ively. He assured the lady of the house
that he bail sjientamost delightful even
ing in her "homely home,", and in the
comjiany of her "homely daughters. "
With all her goodness of heart, his
hostess could not conceal the fact that
his remarks were offensive, and the pro
fessor went home in a very unpleasant
quandary. He sought a friend's advice,
and at the first opjioriunity explained to
his kind entertainer that "homely" in
German was equivalent to "hosjntable, "
and had been used by him in that sense.
Satisfn tory Work by Macliinery.
It is now estimated that in tiie cotton
and w olen industries more than two
thirds of the work formerly done by hand
is ac -om dished by machineiy, and with
far more satisfactory results. Thus in
the washing and drying of wool the feed
ing in former times was done entirely by
baud, the fact being that in the washers
this hand feeding allowed the lumps and
bunches to be torn apart by the rollers
or forks of the washing machine, by
which the wool, in the hot alkaline solu
tion, was likely to be fetted or the fibers
destroyed. In the dryers, where a current
of hot air is continually circulating, the
wool must be equally distributed, so as to
oifer equal resistance to the current; for
if this is not attended to tne result is tnat
through scant or thin places the greater
I-, of
wool in its ijassage a result invariably
: obtained by band feeding. At present
,' machints are made specially designed for
opening and feeding wool, simple in con
struction, and saving labor both in wash
ing and drying processes. By using these
machines the wool is separated in its
state without iniurv to the stanle.
and enters tne nquor ror TrainTiing in mih
I'Xisf couil: lion; being well loosened be
fore entorincr; tbo dryer, and more equally
fed, it becomes more readily dried, and
the r. i -t:::iee being equalized the heat
will :ut produce the scorching effects.

Of the liu.ne in tiie t orn a d-a'er said:
"The manufa- turers buy their corn in
the V. t, Kn s is 'corn h s, tlie liest rep
tipit: ii iii this market, but .Missouri, Ne
braska, and Illinois raise a great deal.
Tlie crop was very small in Kansas this
vear, a ii 1 Illinois did better than any
oilier r- i An ordinary crop is 3u0 to
100 pot. rats to the acre. If a farmer gets
"0 pounds ! pays olf some of his mort
gage; and when the crop reaches 600
pounds i e buys a new silk dress for his
wife and a jiiauo for his daughter. And
yet th- re is not such a terrible jirofit in
it. it bring- all the way from 80 to -"?1G0
a ton in New York, the ordinary brooms
repui riiig stock that now soils for from
lo. io i-1C0 a ton. It co.-ts i'--t a ton to
get it here from K;u,s:is and Ip from II
iiuois. '1 he middleman out there must
have his commission, and so mut the
New York merchant. If a farmer re
ceives i M an acre for his crop h? is doing
well. Still that is lietler than wheat at
tO cent- a bushel.
'The corn comes to this market in bales
averaging 8lM pounds ea rh. The corn
Iroin the prairies is haled with lath and
wire: bul Mjiue Ohio corn comes here
yvith very 1 l.eral chunks of woo I to keep
the bah s from tumbling to pieces. The
yy-o- .1 -lis at the same juice as tlie corn,
if tiie i.nv er.doe.ssfi notice it. Sometimes
Fie prai:ie farmer gets even with tlie
Ohio man by droppiag a sod or two into
t!i bunch.
" j !.e corn on the average will make
1,000 1 rooms to tlie ' on, although ;.n some
fancy brands of extra heavy brooms as
much ;.s 50 jiounds is useel for a dozen
brooms. In the parlor brooms sold at
groceries 2 to pounds are used.
"Oliserving pieople have noticed thaf

i.-.vw v i me to believe that t.hj i-.
.-.1890.
cnesp3tin aTerTtnma: Tnis is ewneoeqr
true, but tlie dealer takes undue advan
tage of the belief. The grocer usually
keeps two grades of brooms, which are
sold at 25 and 85 cents apiece, respect
ively. Ilo iays 17 cents each for tho
cheaper brooms and 21 cents, or $2.50 a
dozen, for the one he sells at 35 cents,
thus making 14 cents on what he calls
the i,;-,t and 8 on the cheaper article. "
The. i ' i.uite an export trade in broom
corn iii ordinary times and in brooms in
other times. With low prices on tlie
corn the corn is shipped, but when the
broom makers have a spurt, as they some
times do, and flood the market, no broom
trust having yet been formed, brooms
aie sold so low as to enable merchants to
send tlu-m to Cuba and South America.
Very liule broom corn is ordinarily sent
to Kttropo, the fields of southern Franco
and of Italy supplying the European
market.
"What is the triek in this tiale.lt
there be tricks in ail tr;:,. .- 'i " ye.Ls asked
of a dealer in broom corn.
"It is in making poor corn look like
good. The best article has a health
i reen color, like well cured timothy hay.
That color indicates toughness, with
pi i per flexibility. The cheap-tuff, worth

Bcniitor LaTnyett Says Some Iiiteretl nar
Tilings About U.
M. Lafayette, a descenelant tif the great
Lafayette, and oneof tlie most )rominent
men in the French ujper cliamlier, has
been bilking to an American reporter
aliout some things in tnis big country.
"We Parisians th. lk that no place in
th -world comes up to our city of life
and gayetv. However, jwrodying the
words of Alexander the Great, I may con
fess that if I were not a Parisian I would
like to lie a New Yorker. We have no
animation in Paris to comjiare v ith all
one sees, for example, in 23d street. But
that is not what -truck me the most.
Here in Paris everything is for the rich.
Paris is the earthly bliss of tlie moneyed
man. The democracy before which I
bow exists in Paris only as a thing to be
talked about, written about; in New York
the democracy it an actuality and has its
place. There are cheap boarding houses
unknown in Paris and although the
gf ii ral idea is tliat New York is a terri
ble exjiensive city, one can, nevertheless,
live there at half the price required for
Paris. Again in New York, the repub
lic (which here is only a phantom, for m
Paris we have the most aristocratic
people in the world in sjyite of 1790) is a
reality and not a sham. In no town in
t) e world have I so felt tliat there is not
a jmrer form of government than that of
a republic.
"In looking at American citizen as
they bustle ii'iouhe Broadway or any
other of the large avenues of tlie Empire
City. I feel that I see liberty in its finest
manifestation. Icannot say that Ithink
the Hudson c imes up to the exaggerated
descriji ons which have been given of it.
People over here imagine it is the most
beautiful river in America. When I Lost
returaeel from America, acting oq the
advice of a friend of mine in New York,
instead of taking ship from that place ,1
Canada, down the St.
iayvrence.
?iiw cnat. rr you nse, is Ui-
need a beautiful river undescribably beau
tiful an ever changing pamorama. I
have often wondered why more people
doii't come home that way. The voyage
is short and the scenery that one sees is
superior to anything elaa on the wliole
eonti'.ont.
"Generally sjeaking, the America,
rivers are ugly. Tlie journey up the
much talked of Mississippi is one of tho
dreariest exjieriences one can undergo
days and days of nothing but treses, then
a syvaiTip j'erh ips with bushes growing
out of it, behind that a forest of middle
height, and behind that again a high wall
of loftyj timber, and so on and on, day
after due. I was never more dejiressed
in my life than aft -r a few days of that
kind of journeying. Now, along the St.
Lawrence there is always something
fresh and p'ei'r'n to the eye. "
Highly Faithful.
Tlie de-ir.ibie. y of learning how to

meant and nothing else is well illustrated
by the dubioin efTecl of tho following,

respectfully resumed their faithful serv

"When the Millenium comes," said an
Oklahoma divine, "all will be peace and
happiness. Then man will love his fel
low man, and "
"I s'poze so," replied a prominent citi
zen, doubtfully; but I kain t see how it
'11 be brought about 'thout sorto stretchin'
the land or sump n ut the kind. Out
whux I live, the claims are mostly staked
off lappm over each other right smart,

But few persons wno new a passenger

idea that it represents a cash value of
from 75,000 to $120,000, but such is the
case. The ordinary express train repre

Aitogetner, jonnsiown is a uewnjr mvy
than it was. Instead of being appalled
and discouraged by the wholesale de
struction of their homes and property, its
inhabitants seem to have acquired fresh
energy from disaster, and the anniversary
of the fatal 81st of May, 188a, found
them more hopeful and in better condi
tion every way than they were a year
ago. That they did not fall into the
lethargy of despair is largely duo to the
promptness with which the people of
other cities responded to the appeals for
aid sent out in their behalf, and the un
paralleled generosity shown to them in J
theu- hour of need has not and never will
be fareottart.

Bret Harte is now living in a quiet
cottage in Grove End Road, near St.
John's Wood. He is ere.ttiner old and his
hair is white, but the novelist still re
tains all his old fire. His books sell im
mensely in England more than those
of any other American writer. Mr.
Harte's family is not with him, and the
general impression in London is that he
is a widower. Mr. Joseph Hatton, a
warm friend and neighbor of Mr. Harte,
informs me that he is not now in the
consular service. No American is in
vited into the best English society more
than Bret Harte. His American stories
warm the English heart. They never
tire of the novelist's story about the first
jury trial in California, and this is the
way ne told it tne other night:
"It was over in the Mariposa Gulch, in
'50. They had never had a jury trial
there. If a man stole a horse they
lynched him, and that settled it. But
the people, many of whom came from
Massachusetts, began to tire of lynch law
and sigh for the good old jury trial of
the East. So one day, when Bill Stev
ens had jumped a poor man's claim, the
Massachusetts fellows resolved to give
ln'm a good old fashioned jury trial.
Ihey tooic him into the back end of the
board post office, selected a jury, and the
trial commenced. Dozens of witnesses
were called, and finally the jury retired
to agree on a verdict. When they had
about concluded that Jim was innocent
the boys outside came banging at tho
door.
"What, do you fellows want?" asked
tlie foreman through the keyhole.
"We want to know if you hain't about
agreed on the verdict. If you liain t
vt u'il have to get out. We want this
room to lay out the corpse in!"
