Binder Twine Market Rues Half a Cent and Is Still on the Up Grade. Confirming predictions in our former comments on Binding Twine, prices have advanced one-half cent per pound on all grades. This advance is made on the strong position of the fiber market, and indications are that pres ent prices will be maintained, although even higher prices may prevail in the very near future. Consumption will be larger than an ticipated as, from farm papers of the Mississippi valley, a larger amount of twine than usual will be required for the oat harvest, an increase of at least 25 per cent by most conservative esti mate. Wheat straw is large and grain lodged, thus demanding more twine where only an average was looked for a few weeks since. This means a shortage of twine in the East. A careful canvass of the Northwest indicates that home manufacutrers are well prepared to take care of the market of this section, and native pride would dictate that, other things being equal, home products should be given prefer ence. Brands with no superior in quality, and an excellence such as pos sessed by the C.over Leaf Brand with lower cost per 1,000 feet, also a market near at hand, dealers should not hesi tate in making up their orders. At present, however, heavy shipments are being made, and orders should be placed at once as better attention can be given to early orders than where bunched so near harvest time. The Octopus.

The skin is the seat of an almost end less variety of diseases. They are known by various names, but are all due to the same cause, acid and other poisons in ' Che blood that irritate and interfere with the proper action of the skin. To have a smooth, soft skin, free from all eruptions, the blood must be kept pure and healthy. The many preparations of arsenic and potash and the large number of face powders and lotions generally nsed in this class of diseases cover up for a short time, but cannot remove per manently the ugly blotches and the red, disfiguring pimples. - Eternal vigilance la the price of a beautiful complexion when such remedies are relied on. Mr. H. T. Shobe, 77H tucas Avenue, St. IMils, Mo., says : " My daughter was afflicted for years ith dinfirurinff emotion on her face, which resisted all treatment.

ATLANTA, U. fr ft URE FOR THE BLUES. HOW TO GET RID OF SPELLS OF MORBIDNESS. An Absorbing Interest or Occupation la lfest Remedy-Victim of "Blue Devtta" Are Too Much Taken Up with Their Own Sensations. Is there anyone of the human family who does not suffer occasionally from that "loathed melancholy" called "the blues" If such a person exists he Is as rare as the great auk. From whatever cause the blue devils take possession of us, whether from derangements of the liver or nervous system, or from simple eunuL the cure for them Is the same, unless, ludeed. they are bred by orgaulc disease which has taken vital hold of the system. And this cure an absorbing Interest or occupation. People who ride their hobbles in season and out of season very rarely have the blues. Enthusias tic collectors are also apt to be ag gressively cheerful If you suffer from depression of spirits, then take the advice of authorities on the subject and look about for an Interest In life. Ursula Gesterfeld. In one of her books handles the blue devils without gloves. She frankly Informs the vic tims that what Is the matter with them Is not that they are "too flue for earth's coarser uses," and that their delicate natures suffer from contact with the rude, boisterous wond, but that they are abuormally selfish, too absorbed In their own seusations to heed the fact that they are enveloping themselves In an atmosphere of gloom which must necessarily depress all about them. Iler prescription Is to smile, smllo; smile in season and out of season; smile whether you feel like It or not. and gradually the mental state will adapt Itself to the bodily expression. A charming young women was heard to say the other day: "I am too much in love ever to have the blues." 'Too much In love?" echoed her astonished auditors, surprised at this frank reve lation. "Yes," she replied, provoklng ly. "too much In love with myself. I regard myself as a mirror, don't you see, put on earth to reflect all the joy and gladness of the universe, and so I cannot think of letting myself become obscured and dimmed by such ugly clouds as the blues. Ah, never! I am too vain." Charles Xewcomb, that coiner of epi grams, says: "There Is no stimulant that Is more speedy and thorough In its action than the thrill of Joy and gladness. It Is a natural tonic, and the entire system responds to Its exhilarat ing vibrations. Anything that arouses confidence In life, with a larger sense of Its use and beauty, increases human energy and prepares the best conditions of success In all undertakings. We are never left In life with an entirely empty cup board. there Is always some little portion of fat to eat and sweet to drink If we will only go our way and look about us, and not allow the leanness of our grief to absorb our thoughts or tears to blind our eyes and fill every cup with bitterness." There Is a very old story about the famous clown, Griznaldl, who once called in a physician to see If he could offer any alleviation for the depression from which he suffered. "Go and see Grlmaldl," advised the physician. "I am Grlmaldl," replied the "melancholy Jacques" in the Jester's garb. Poor clown! lie was suffering from the reaction occasioned by the con stant effort to be funny. He needed change of thought, Interest and occupa tion. "It isn't the 'unting as 'urts the 'orses, It's the 'ammer, 'ainmer, 'am mer on the 'ard 'Igh road." There Is an exceedingly bitter tonic that all of us must gulp down sooner or later, and that Is that no one cares a straw about our woes. The man who laughs is the man who has friends by the score, whose society Is eagerly sought and who Is always welcome, but the woman who weeps very soon learns that she must weep alone. "This sad old earth has need of our mirth." Chicago Uecord-Herald. CHINESE EGGED AN ACTOR. Celestial Edwin Booth Meets with a Bather Forcible Criticism. The artistic temperament Is, perhaps. more highly developed In the Chinese theater-goer than In his American counterpart It certainly was manifest ed strongly enough the other night In San Francisco, for Chew Foo, the great Chinese star who recently went to that city after winning the highest praise from the critics of the Chinese press in New York, was pelted with decayed eggs and then made the target of In numerable light firecrackers, all be cause be failed to dress the part he was acting In a proper manner. Chew Foo stands. in practically the same light to tne uninese piay-goer that Edwin Booth stood to the English- speaking public, let there were occa sions In the career of that great actor, when he played "Hamlet" arrayed in a long frock coat, his head covered with a silk hat In place of the raven hair of the mad Danish prince. There is, however, no record that the audi ences did not make all allowance for delayed trains and washed away bridges, which were the causes of the lack of costumes. Hundreds of Instances might be cited of Indulgences shown by American au diences to actors who failed to dress the parts they were playing as they should be dressed. These are Instances right In this city, says the San Fran cisco Call where but never mind, these cases have nothing to do with the riot which took place in the Wash ington stret theater because Chew Foo wore the dress of a young man when he should have worn that of an old man. Sergeant Conboy was there. He la always there when any trouble arises in Chinatown, but he cannot tell the cause of the row. He saw Chew Foo on the stage. For a moment no one In the audience moved, and then pan demonium Drone rortn. 'mere were yells and catcalls In Chinese and then a fusillade of Chinatown eggs began. The eggs that a Chinaman will throw away are beyond description. Just plain, ordinary stale eggs they eat and j nrnfMii tn like. These had irot beyond . . - . .1 - nl fit llA 1 lllltl SWIgV uu nno viiij u v thrown away. Chew Foo got about bushel basket of them. After that the men In the audience began to throw lighted firecracker on the stage. To those outside the theater It sounded like half a hundred men engaged la pistol practice and word was sent to police headquarters that half of China town was engaged In battle, murder and sudden death, and that the war of the Tongs had dually broken out lu real earnest Half a doxen policemen were rushed to the theater, only to find the place resting In perfect peace. There was no noise, no disturbance, and the play was going smoothly along. SAVED BY AN INDIAN. How a Illoody Revolt of Negro Slarea In New Jersey Waa Averted. A bloody and desperate revolt was once threatened by the negro slaves of the Acquackauonck district of New Jersey, and were It not for a drunken Indian there would have been an awful slaughter of the whites. Shortly after the Revolution the slaves demanded their emancipation. Some of the New York farmers had freed their slaves, most of whom weut to the Kamapo mountains, where they found unoccupied land. Stragglers ap- Sared among the New Jersey slaves id had little trouble spreading dissen sion. The Dutch farmers were not yet ready to abolish slavery and refused the demands made upon them. The slaves became insolent and hard to manage. They even went so far as to threaten dire vengeance, but little at tention was paid to their muttering. The negroes formed a secret society, and held meetings in the woods and in deserted houses. At last their plans were about complete for a general re volt. A meeting was called In an old distillery w hich use! to stand near Fas saic. Negroes came from every direc tion, and by midnight nearly a hundred were gathered there. The leaders made excited speeches advocating the slaugh ter of all the men In the community. They were eager for a revolt and were to be Informed just when to strike. The slaves of each family were to take care of their own masters. What was to become of them afterward was not considered, nor were there any plans of escaping the punishment which would surely be Inflicted on them. They were for blood, regardless of consequences. An old Indian bad spent the day at the distillery, and the man In charge of the vats had amused himself by getting the redskin drunk. Tie fell just outsldj the door, and lay there in a drunken stupor. He was awakened about mid night by the loud voices of the excited slaves, and after a time realized the purpose of the meeting. He knew that the farmers would reward him with whisky and tobacco If he carried them the news, and lost no time In doing so. He went to several farm houses before he could find any one who would be lieve the story, for no one thought that the slaves really Intended to make trou ble. Investigation showed that he was telling the truth, and the farmers sur rounded the distillery. The leaders were arrested and carried to Newark in chains. Many of the slaves were lash ed by their owners until all thought of rwolt was beaten out of them. BLOWING UP OF THE MAINE. Gen. Fltzhngh Lee's Theory of the Destruction of the Vessel. In his Interesting address In this city Monday evening General Fltzhugh Lee gave his theory regarding the destruc tion of the battleship Maine, says the Indianapolis Journal After relating the circumstances of the explosion and describing the scene of fire and car nage he witnessed on visiting the local ity a few minutes after the event, he said: "My theory Is that It was done by young officers who had been attached to Weyler. After the catastrophe they disappeared. Young officers of the Spanish army did not take the trouble to hide their pleasure over the horrible affair. Many of them dropped their us ual potations of red wine and opened bottles of champagne In the cafes. The government of Cuba Immediately tried to forestall European opinion by sending a dispatch which stated that the explosion bad been caused by the carelessness of the Americans them selves. As to that I want to say that the keys to the magazine of every American man-of-war are brought to the captain and are bung on hooks at the bead of his bed so that he can know where they are all the time. When the divers went to work on the Maine Captain Sigsbee said to them: "Go Into my cabin and see if the keys to the magazine are banging where they ought to be.' The divers came up with the keys. They had found them banging by the side of the captain's bed. Furthermore, the Investigation brought out that the plates of the fore part of the ship were bent upward, showing clearly that the force of the explosion bad been directed from the bottom. The court of Inquiry heard plenty of testimony which showed that there had been two explosions; one when the torpedo went off and tore its way to the ship's magazine, and the other when the magazine itself ex ploded with a roar." The real cause of the destruction of the Maine Is still a mystery, though there Is strong reason for accepting General Lee's view. The report of the United States court of Inquiry sus tained the theory of an outside ex plosion, but said "the court has been unable to obtain any evidence fixing the responsibility for the destruction of the Maine upon any person or per sons." The solution of such mysteries come In time, when those who are In possession of the secret think the right time has come. Used It in His Business. "I tell you," exclaimed the slim Indl vidual, "that water Is the greatest gift to man." "Are you a Prohibitionist?" asked a bystander, taking him cordially by the hand.
