Colonel Polk Interviewed About th Indianapolis Meeting. omething- Like the Sub-Treasury Bill Seeni3 to Work in Russia. Washington, D. C The Post has the following interview with Col. Polk, on his return to the city from Indianapo- Col. L. L. P. dk was being congratula ted at the National ou his re-election to the- Presidency of the National Farmers' Aliiance- at the late Indianapolis conven tion "The partisan press, as usual, misrepresented our meeting,'' he said. Y the ludiar.apolia meeting har moninu '." Thoroughly so: and it will be pro ductive of vast benefit. There was no effort to carry the Order into any politi cal party. The Ocala demands were in dorsed unanimously by all of the thirty four States represented, and also bv the delegat. s from the F. M. B. A ., which practiciily merges it and the Alliance into one harmonious organization." "Is there to be no political action, then next year." ' Well, the meeting of February 22d will decide about that. It will be a gr.-md convention, composeel of twenty five delegates at large for each order or organization represented, and one addi tional delegate for every 10,0C0 members of each order. The elelegates at large will be selected by the organizations, but the others by a direct popular vote. The convention will probably be held at St. Louis or Cincinnati. 4 'I don't care to anticipate its action, but something of importance will come out of it. The old parties seem to be on the verge of coalescing. Read the edito l'.ds in ihe Democratic newspapers fa voring the rcturrTof John Sherman to the Senate. Doesn't that look like coalition ? I ugrst that the Democrats should nominate next year Cleveland and Har rison, anel the Republicans Harrison and Cleveland. In that way Wall street w. uld be certain of compassing its ends, for both parties are under its domi nation." SEEMS TO WORK IN RUSSIA. The Cha-leston News and Courier has the following despatch from Washington. I). C. : Consul General Crawford, of St. Petersburg, has sent to the department of S'ato a report on the system now in use in Russia (resembling certain plans incorporated in the platform of the Far mers' Alliance in this country) of making advances on farmers' grain stored in v. u!0 bouses or delivered to officials of the railways of the country. Mr. Crawford says the advances on grain may be made by any railway com pany on account of the Imperial Bank of Russia, authorized by the ministry of iimnce. They must not exceed GO per cent, of the value of the grain at the nearest market ph.ee, except in cases of loans of six weeks or less, when an 80 per cent, advance in iv be obtained. The u-n;il interest is 0 per cent., payable in advance with further small charges on account of a sinking fund anel commis sions to rrilroads. The loans range from six months to one year, anel if they are not repaid at their expiration the grain is sold at auction by the railroad company. (J rain may also be sold if in danger of deterioration, or if it is feared that the value will not cover the loan atel expen ses of storage. The railroad companies bear the entire responsibility for the loan by the bank, and are required to meet their liabilities within seven days of set tlement of a loan or auction sale of grain. In calculating the percentage of advance the cost of transportation to the point of elestinaticn is charged as part of the loan. No distinction is made between farmers and middlemen in making advances, the loan being made only on the grain. In conclusion the consul general says: ''This scheme went into effect June 14-CO, liSSS, and at the present day it is generally adopted throughout the country, and business is carried on under it on n very large scale. I should also add that the scheme gives great satisfac tion to the farmers, very many of whom declare it has been an essential feature of successful farming iu Russia."' The Alliance in Louisiana is doing as well s? it can under the circumstances. Its growth has been obstructed somewhat by unavoielable circumstances, yet the brethren are in earnest, anel are deter mined to place the Oreler on vantage ground in the near future. It is a diffi cult State to organize, and those who have stood iu the front have had a hard struggle. Within the past year a State organ. The Vidette. has been started, and a most excellent paper it is, which will dou'jtles aid materially in the prosecution of the work of refotm. The Alliance in this State are fighting the lottery swindle, and as a result are meeting with all the opposition that a moneyed corporation can bring to bear. It is expeeteel that the Order will succeed, which will place it on a high road to permanent pros perity. X That was a very good answer given a gentleman by ex-PresidentEliasCarr,of N. (.'.when the man rcmarketl that such leg islation as the Alliance proposed woulel make him get only SO cents for a dollar. Pro. Csrr said that wouldn't be as bad as the farmer getting only fifty cents on the do' lar for products of the farm. At a mass-meeting of 00,000 working mon he'd at Dammeu, Norway, resolu tion wi re passed, demanding that the yoverument should buy the laud of the country, distribute it among the laborers and advance then; the money uecessarv to wi.rk it. There are 12.000.0,00 workmen in this country adding to its wealth at the rate of $7 per day, but they get less than 1 e-( h. Who jn.ts the other G .' Knights of l.a'.M.r .journal.

Rattlesnake oil is worth $1G an ounce. An orange tree will bear fruit till 150 years old. English i3 spoken by about 1 30,000, C00 people. There is said to be not? single Baptist church in Western Australia. In the older parts of Australia kanga roos are practically exterminated. The Colorado cliff dwellers are sail by scientists to have existed 10,000 years ago. The Australian colonies have expended about $40,000,000 in patronizing immi gration. The soil and climate of the newly opened lands of Oklahoma are said to be most favorable for tobacco culture. The trunk of one tree in the State of Washington was large enough to hold twenty-eight people, who utilized it as a dining-room. The disposition of an estate in Chicago recently depended on a question whether in a murder and suicide case the wife or husband died fir3t. Mila, a female captain of brigands, who was a terror of a part of Servia for many years, ha3 been caught. She is ac cused of the murder of fourteen per sons. The Kiowa Indians, once the wildest and most warlike tribe in the United States, are rapidly dying off. Civiliza tion has proved to be fatal to them as to others of the red men. Along the Creole coast, between Mo bile and New Orleans, roses of the Mire chal Niel, Jacqudminot and other rare varieties are abloom all winter, no mat ter what the weather is. In the Georgian Bay, ths north exten sion of Lake Huron, there are thousands of small islands oa which the Huron In dians took refuge when their enemies, the Iroquois, overcame them in 1 0 4 0 . A document has been discovered in the archives of Geneva, Switzerland, which shows that some kind of repeat ing gun, discharging eleven shots .suc cessively, was known as early as 1504. The largest steam shovel in the world is digging out phosphate in the mines at John's Island, near Charleston, S. C. Its weight is fifty-six tons. It can dig to a depth of ten feet belov its track and to a elistance of forty-live feet on either side. The dipper, which can swing through two-thirds of a circle, has a ca pacity of l cubic yards, and about two dippers full can be handled in a minute. A friendship between a rat and a dog is the latest curious story of animal at tachments. The dog, who live? in Northamptonshire, England, is a sworn enemy of all rats except one, and has made a good record for ridding his mas ter's premises of them. His favorite, however, is allowed to feed around the kennel, and when his master attempted to kill this rat a decided demonstration on ths dog's part warned him to stop. For many years the grave of Oliver Goldsmith has been sadly neglected. The English have talked a good deal about him being the "best beloved of authors,' but they have done but little for his memory. But a recent letter from London says : ''Oliver Goldsmith's grave in the Temple Churchyard, London, has at last been given a little attention and has been renovated and repaired, the old lettering of the inscription being recut." Shoe Sizes. A third of an inch gives us a full size in length of a shoe; a sixth furnishes the intermediate point between two sizes, the saving of which is desirable, if practic able; a small fraction of breaelthgoe3 a good way in securing comfort, and in girth of ball or instep an infinitesimal part of an inch is sometimes an ell of freedom; a quarter of an inch is a good deal of letting down or elevating at the heel, anel the difference of a sixteenth is readily perceptible at the sole. For these reasons sudden and extreme changes in size or weight of shoes are injudicious. Even the "paper sole'' (which ouht never to be worn in any place) should be replaced by one only a little thicker at first. After the summer shoe the proper thing is one of medium weight before the winter article is in order, and even that dosen't nowT mean a thick, cumber some shoe, as it once did. Very few shoe salesmen have a stock of patience that will hold out beyond the trying on of the sixth pair of shoes for a .voman customer. The lacing or button ing of this number is considerable labor f itself; then with each new one tried here is the usual amount of preliminary talk about style, price, etc. "Over there is a womon," says a dealer, "who has tried on nine pairs, and she feels worse than the clerk about it. She, probably has a peculiarly shaped foot, and none of the shoes, thus far, feels comfortable to her. In such a case if the clerk shows weariness he loses his customer.'' The alleged preference of women in quest of shoes to be waited upon by male rather thau female clerks is probably due to the fuct that the former can tell the:u more about shoes and leather than the latter. Many a pair of shoes is sold by the aid of a little judicious shoe lor even if partly unintelligible to the buver! In the matter of patience there isn't m " ich difference between the sexes. s't. U!l,i Leather Reporter. To lemper a Wateli Spun?. The country watchmaker more than his city couterree is called upon to tem per a soft spring. This, explains the Ilorologlcil Iiezieic, can be done by pre paring a lead bath, that is, a quantity of lead in an iron pot. raising it to such a heat that the lead is red. Into this plunge the spring, and keep it in for a sufficient length of time; then when hot enough quickly plunge iuto cold water or lard oil. It is necessary next so to give it the right temper, which is done by dipping the spring into a small vessel of boiling linseed oil for a few seconds and then into cold oil. WISE WORDS. A bad advocate spoils a good cause. The poorer a man is the oftener he goesto law. There is nothing so sought and so lit tle valued as advice. When a woman hates a man it is a sign she once loved him. Suspicion is a canker that corrodes not only the suspected but the suspicious. Nature set the mark of her abhorrence upon egoism when she created the sexes. The head is frequently made the scape goat of the heart, and in fact usually suf fers from its burden. The uglier a show manager is, the more he insists upon having his picture printed on all ths bills. Women will love men they cannot, re spect; but with men their respect must go far in advance of their affections. If a mau is good it is either because he has to be or because he enjoys it. No man was ever good frocc a sense of duty. There is one good thing that may be said about faults; it is always the man you dislike most who has the most of them. When a woman cannot reform a maa his salvation is hapossible. When she can uot destroy hiru his destruction is not possible. Men make laws for the protection oT the brute creation in order to relieve themselves of responsibility and to es cape the unpleasantness involved in per sonal action. It is so much easier to raise the hand and point to a law when appealed to than to rise bodily and bring the offender to justice. Most personal questions are like old time ghosts that rise periodically to ba laid again. Thtre seems to be but one infallible method by which the ghost of a defunct question can be disposed of and wafted down tue river to its proper place of retreat; that is, by giving it a companion on its journey the soul of the unfortunate in whose breast the ques tion was agitated. Chemical Preservation of Wood. Numerous experiments have developed the fact that the application of a solution ot sulphate of copper will greatly add to the life of wood. If done effectually it is calculated that it will double and treble the lasting quality of wood exposed to the weather. Th3 best method of preparation is to displace the sap of the wood by thorough air drying, and then exposing the wood to a bath of sulphate. Careful examina tion shows that it is not the mere pres ence of excess of the sulphate that pro eluces the improvement; but the com bination of the oxide of copper with the cellulose of the wood. For example, if linen or cotton cloth be impregnated with cupric solutions, and afterward rinsed in water until all the metal salt is removed , it will be found that the sub stances or materials will remain unin jured for long periods if buried in the earth. Wood thus treated becomes harder thau any common dry wood, and iti elasticity is unimpaired. Economy it many ways is not yet closely studied. There is no doubt a great future in the science ind practice of rendering wood more resistent to climatic decay and de struction by fire. Clay Journal. Handling in Florida. Ranching though the least known, is the oldest industry in Florida. For a great number of years cattle laising for the Cuban and West Indian markets has been an occupation of the active Flori dan. From Punta Gorda and Punta Ras sa, ports of Charlloie harbor, about 10, 000 head of cattle are annually exported to Cuba. They are not fattened, and, indeed, are only rounded up just before exportation; consequently the beef is wretched stuff, and the $14 or 15 paid for each ot the beeves may be considered quite as much as they are worth. The pasture is poor and the breed still poor er; and, e.lthough there is a movement afoot to improve both, there can be little doubt that as the southern countries are settled, herds will eliminish in size and the range of pasturage be greatly restrict ed. Ranching as ranching will gradu ally die, and dairy farming will reign in its stead. McJIiUan's JJwjazine. Mistaken Gallantry. Short Sighted Stranger "Allow me to help you up, midan. No wonder you fell, on these slippery sidewalks!" She "Getaway, you rule fellow! I am Madam Saudoffe, Barnum's celebrated dwarf!" Poured .i Lake Upon the Flames. The otiieiih of the Fire Department estimate tn.it during last year 10,321, 75i) gallons of water were used by land engines in extinguishing fires. Added to this were 14,913,000 gallons of river water used by the fire boats for the same purpose, which makes a total of 31,734, 750 gallons. To give an approximate idea of this enormous quantity of water one can truthfully state that to extin guish the iires that have occurred in this city during the year the department en gines have used up a whole lake, larger ami deeper thau any of those in Central Park. 2seiC Yvt'c HeruM. a Chicagi man intends to start an elephant farm in Southern California.
