The United States has 427,668 coke ovens; Pennsylvania 26,910. . The capital invested in cotton mills in South Carolina now amounts to $18, 614,000. It is estimated that 85 per cent of the silk goods need in the United States ere the products of our own factories. The laboi press announces that E. V. Debs has severed his official connec tion with all labor unions, and will take the leoture platform. A writer in an exchange 'declares that 600,000 men now do the work.with the aid of machinery, which needed 16,000,000 to do a few years ago. The membership of the Cigarmakers' International Union is taking a vote oo a proposition to abolish the out-of-work benefit and toi reduce the death benefits about 20 per oent. A good many of the New England cotton mills may be making silk a few years from now. Some of them have caught on already to the advantages of making the change. It is reported that English machine builders have oontracts for the equip ment of many cotton mills in India, including 11 mills being established in Ahmedabad, where six more may be in progress of construction.

Hundreds of farm buildings that con tain shivering and unthrifty stock all through the winter months could, at al most no expense whatever, e made very warm and comfortable. Open foundations and absence of any closed foundation whatever cause much of the coldness of farm buildings. Cheap hay and swamp grass abound in almost all sections. If a large quantity of this is cut and put about the building and held there In the manner shown in the cut, the wind would very effectually be kept out Two strips of boards, with lathe nailed to them every fifteen Inches, will keep the hay very snug. When winter is past the hay can be used for bedding BARN BANKED WITH HAT. during the spring months. American Agriculturist ' Packing Fmlt for Market. The degree of ripeness should deter mine the time of gathering the fruit Host kinds of pears have a better flavor if picked as soon as their growth Is completed and permitted to ripen off the tree. All the fruits should be han dled carefully to prevent bruising, and very particular care should be taken with the tender fruits. The sorting should be carefully done, according to size and color, the wrapping to follow, but all the fruit should be permitted to cool before either is undertaken. Throughout this work, the less han dling that Is given the longer its condi tion will remain good. The packing should be done in such a way as to hold the fruit protected from Jostling and bruising while in transit to market but yet It should not be packed so closely as to prevent the air front circulating through it freely, Only such fruits should be packed as are thoroughly sound, free from blem ish, of good shape and of reasonably good size. Tender and soft fruits especially should be cooled as soon after being picked as practicable. The wrappers should not be close enough in texture to confine within them the moisture that comes from the fruit by evapora tion, or the fruit will be apt to mildew. This is often seen on oranges wrapped in a paper of close texture. The changes goinjt on in ripe fruit generate heat and this should be counteracted as far as practicable. It is said that even In a well-refrigerated car the heat liberated from the fruit will often more than counterbalance the cooling. effect of the Ice. Hence, It is Important to have rapid transportation to market Before the heat generated by ripening process causes decay. Texas Stock and Farm Journal Roo-jt for Chickens.

In banking up against the walls of basement barns, and especially In hniidinir un a passageway to the en trance, there is always strong tempta tion to use stones piled in loosely as a hnou where stones are over plentiful on the farm.

When does the farmer make a profit? There are hundreds of farmers who have become 'wealthy, yet they have handled very little money and hare had difficulty in meeting their obligations. There Is one bank account which they do not draw upon, and the deposits ac cumulate for years, and that Is the soil. A fanner takes a poor farm, works It adds manure, and receives but little over expenses, but every year his farm has become more fertile and also In creased in value. In ten or more year the farm may be worth five times the original cost, and It represents just as much profit as though the farmer had received money. All farms are, to a certain extent banks of deposit, where the profits of the farm slowly accumu late. "Mad Itch."

Knlper has an article In the St. Nicholas on "Wllhelmlna, Queen of Holland." ; The author says: The young Queen has necessarily more than other children always had a good many lessons to learn, a good many tasks to perform, a good many duties to go through; but she has had her holidays as well as other children, and certanly enjoyed them quite as much. She, of course, particularly liked the Christmas holidays, and the pleasant surprises they brought with them, and one of her special pleasures was to prepare a Christmas tree for an elderly court lady, of whom she was very fond. The wlater of 1805 made no excep tion to the rule. Queen Wllbelmlna's old friend was, under some pretext or other, Induced to go out. Her retreat ing footsteps were eagerly listened for; then the girl queen of 15 years gave strict orders that no one should Inter rupt her or enter the room while she was busy with the tree. The lackeys bowed low, and promised obedience; the tree and the decorations and the presents were carried Into the old lady's room; then the Queen, left alone, began to work. She had been busy for some time, now and then standing on tiptoe to fas ten a bright bit of orange ribbon on a higher branch of the tree, when there was a knock at the door. With Indig nant eyes the Queen looked up, or rath er looked down, from the tree to the door. Who was It that dared trouble hercontrary to her most positive com mands? She knitted her brows, and went on with her work, feigning not to have heard, the knock. Surely they would not dare to repeat it? Hark! there It was again. It was too bad! She quickly walked up to the door, opened it a very little bit, and asked impatiently, "Why did you knock? Who Is It?" ,v The answer was- given without the least hesitation,- - "It Is me, the washer woman." . ' The washerwoman! Queen Wllhel mlna was perplexed. She did not wish any one to see the tree, and could not send for the court lady, or any of her attendants. So opening the door, she said kindly: ' ' ; ' ."Well, come ' In and put down the basket, but don't look around." The woman did as she was told. She had never seen the Queen of Holland, and etlie felt perfectly at ease In the presence of this youug girl, almost a child, who was very simply dressed In some dark woolen winter material. ' "Good afternoon, missy," she said. "Where shatl I put the things?" "Put thorn? Has the basket to be Unpacked?" "Why, of course It has, missy. That Is always done." "Oh, indeed! . Then put the things somewhere, and make a little haste, please." 'The woman nodded and obeyed. When the baskirt was empty, she hand ed the Qwen a bit of paper, and said: "Yon -will see that the things on this list are all there,, won't you, missy?" "Missy" began to eujoy the Joke. She consulted tihu Hat, and counted the things to see that all was correct Then she sa.id kindly: "It Is all right You can go now." But the washerwoman was not satis fied. ' "Go?" she repeated Indignantly. "No, Indeed. I shan't go. I'll be paid first The lady always pays me directly." "Does she, really?" asked the Queeu. "Indeed she does. You can ask her, If you like." The Queen saw that she would have to act her part of "missy" to the end. She found the situation amusing, and casting down her laughing eyes, she took out her purse, and counted the money Into the laundress' hand. "That's all right and thank you kind ly," the woman said, taking up her bas ket, and going to the door. Then, wltn a glance at the half-decorated Chrlsi mas tree, she added good-naturedly: "And I wish you much pleasure. Good by, missy." " A gay, musical laugh rang through the room when "missy" was alone again. Her Majesty, the Queen of Hol land, was, Indeed, not awustoined to be addressed by that unpretending title. How her sympathetic mother must have smiled with pleasure when the tree was ready, and the Queen of 15 years ran away to tell her what bad happened! . Sailors Explode Sharks.

Some drudgery must precede high effort and attainment in any and every sphere. Mixing colors is the drudgery in the greatest artist's paint ing, as surely as in that of the young beginner in his profession. He who is not willing to do the needful drudgery in the work he undertakes will never be a sucoess in any high realm of his aspirations. No man who is not ready first to tread the lower rounds of a '.ad der can ever hope to stand by and by at the top. S. S. Times. Confession of a Millionaire.

Character From Sorrow. Over and over again the old truth comes back to us, that no man is good for much till he has suffered a great sorrow. The baptism of pain is one of the instrumentalities whioh God uses for purging away the dross of our na tures and making us lit to be partaken of the inheiitance of the saints in light. Not those who have escaped the fiery trial, but those who have gone through it and come out unhurt aid glorified, are to be envied. God knows what is best for us. Therefore He sends first one affliction and then another upon us. Sometimes, because He sees it to be necessary, He lifts the very floodgates, and allows wave after wave of mis fortune to sweep over us. If we have the right stuff in us, we shall be helped and not harmed by these seem ing calamities. Christian Advocate.
