Chinese Drugs- The employee in the office of the appraiser of customs yesterday were busy examining a shipment of Chi« nese medicines, and the place smelled like a fertiliser factory. There were the usual number of dried snakes, the looks of which would be certain to kill er cure any intelligent patient Tbe-e were also a number of plump lizards, spitted on rods and expanded with slips of bamboo till they resem bled tennis racquets; a lot of “sea horses,’* a long, slender fish with a bead like a horse and a prehensile fail; bundles of centipedes Battened out and pasted on sticks; cans full of preserved pollywogs and and many other curious panaceas, each of which smelled worse than the other. There were pills as large as prunes, handsomely decorated; roots and •‘yarbs” of many kinds, which would paralixe a Quaker doctor, and boxes and bottles of unknown mixtures that would paralyse anybody The forty separate and distinct smells of the town of Cologne are nothing compared to the odors arising from SIOO worth of Chinese medicine, which made some of the men handling the stuff sick. Foul smell seems to be a requisite in most medicines, and if the beneficial effects of medicine are proportionate to its odor the medicines of the Chi nese should be the test in the world.— Portland Oregonian Discovered.

'‘Disease fastened its clutches upon her and for seven years she with stood its severest tests, but her vital organs were undermined and death seemed imminent. For three months i rhe coughed incessantly, and could rut sleep. She finally discovered away to recovery, by purpbaiiug of us a bot tle of Dr. King’s New Discovery for Consumption, and was so much re lieved on taking first dose, that she slept all night; and with two bottles, has been absolutely cured.

The study of colors and their effects io a very eurlous and interesting one. There Rre colors that are refreshing and broadeoiog Others that absorb light and give a boxed up appearance la a room, others that make a room northern exposure or exposure at all appear bright apd cheerful; somfi that make a room appear warm; some that make it cold. If a ceiling is to be made higher leave il light that it may appear to recede. Deepening the color used on th J ceiling would make it lower, an effect desirable W the room is small and the ceiling very high. Various tones of yellow are substitutes for sunlight. Jhe ibermomete: seems to fall 6 degrees when you walk into a blue room Yellow fean advancing color; therefore a room filled up with yellow ulill appear smaller than it is On the other hand, blue of a certain shade introduced generously into a room will: give an idea of space. Red makes no difference in regard to mas. Green makes very little. If a bright, sunny room gets light from a space obtruded upon by russet colored or yellow! painted houses, or else looks out upon a stretch of green grass,.it should be decorated in a color differepl feoptlbe shade chosen if the light comes from only an unbroken efcpaqse of sky.

They Like Thqjn ata Distance- _ It has pot beep so many years since Lovejoy, Lincoln and other Illinois Republicans made their -voices heard through all the land in behalf of- the negro—particularly the negro of the South. The other day, when a train load of negroes, who were being taken from Alabama to that state to work in the coal mines, were fired into by a crowd of striking miners, and quite a number of them killed, the act bad the approval of Republican Gov ernor of that alate. How times have changed I Os course, Governor Tanner did not say that be was glad that the negro miners bad been attacked by lhe strikers and some of them killed, but be said that the negroes bad no busi ness in the slate and that the com pany, which was instrumental in bringing them there would, in all probability, be indicted. He made it quite clear that no negro laborers were wanted in Illinois. He is a typical Republican. He has use for the negroes about the time the Republicans bold tbeir con ventions and at elections. At other times be wants the negro as far away from him as it is possible to keep them. And that is about the feeling of the Northerners generally. But they lose no opportunity to make an outcry about the treatment of tbe negro in the South, ignoring the fact that tbe negro, when he goes North, gets much worse treatment than he ever received in tbe South. They were Nortbeners who, at tbe meeting of railroad men in Atlanta tbe other day, wanted all negro work* men on Southern roads dismissed— dismissed was not exactly what they wanted; they wanted them driven from lhe roads. As a matter of fact the negro has very little chance at tbe North to get ahead in tbe world. There are but few occupations open to him there. There is much talk-in that section in hie behalf, but tbe talk means that there is a disposition to insist that the Southern people shall make greater concessions to tbe negroes than tbe Northern people are willing to mskr to them. Will tbe Republican party of Illinois repudiate Gov. Tanner’s treatment of the Alabama negroes? It certainly will not Tanner repre sented fairly tbe spirit of that party. — Savannah News. yyfil Lad Ywlfs fewp ggfl Sgsatm ..

Latham, Alexander A in tbeir very interesting cotton pub lication just gotten out, have a reada ble article on tbe new method of baling cotton which io expected to revolutionise the cotton trade of the world, Tbe principle of the Lowry cotton preee io dew, simple, and attrac tive. The Lowry bale is about 36 inches long and 18 inches in djameter, of cylindrical form and hollow core. Il io built up from the bottom tn layers and the air io excluded from the cotton just ao it leaves the gin. Its density io about 47 pounds to the cubic fool; tbs density of the steam compress square bale is about 22| pounds; more than twice as much cotton la compressed io the same space of tbe Lowry bale as can be put io tbe square bale under present methode. The Lowry bale weighs about 250 pounds. It io tied by lour wires about the size of telegraph wires; lhe weight of bagging and tiea is 2| pounds and the tare on each bale is reduced to 1 per cen;. Tbe density of tbe bale pre vents the absorption of water below tbe surface and the fibre of the cotton is said to reach the mill In better cons dilioot han cotton packedby tbe steam compresses. The Lowry press has a capacity of from 1,500 to 2,000 pounds of cotton an hour and is operated by from 10 to 15 horse power. It is argued that tbe new process enables the farmer to be entiiely independent of (he steam compresses. The giunar completes tbe work of ginning and compressing the cotton at the ginnery and at the same time he can turn out a bale in perfect form for the foreign or domes tic consumer and for which he secures a higher price. The cotton no longer goes by one haul by the railroad to tbe compress, there to be unloaded, compressed, reloaded and reshipped. The advantage to the buyer of the Lowery bale are that be gets a pack age for which the mills have offered a premium; he pays less for storage of tbe small bale; it can bo packed in cars or steamships much more- easily and secufe tower freight rates, and the liability of fire is reduced to a minimum. Tbe Lowry people say that tbeir package must secure for the farmer at the very outset a better price for his product,—Macon Erect ing News.

Flag Floats in Porto Rico- Washing tom, OsL 18 —The United 'Slates is now formally in possession of lhe Island of Porto Rico as sovereign. The war department has received tbe following: “Ban Juan, Porto Rico, Oct. 18.— Secretary of War, Washington : Flags have been raised on public buildings and forts in this city and saluted with national salutes Tbe occupation of the island is now complete. (Signed) “Brooke, Chairman.” * Wheatfields of the Future. ■ No doubt the opening of the wheat bear ing regions of Siberia to settlement will compel revised estimates of our own con tribution of this cereal to the markets of Europe if not tbe amount grown for home use. The London- Post publishes an ac count of the progress of the Tranmiberian railroad in which It is asserted that by the end Os next month the road will be own plated as far as Irkutsk, and that tbe Rus sian government will transport 800,000 peasants to fertile belts along the road for the purpose of cultivating wheat. At the same time railway communication with the northern seaport of Archangel is being made, with the object of aiding cheap cul tivation by cheap transportation to the European markets. The government will aid these peasant colonists with imple ments and will require only a tithe of their produce as rent. The result of this ex periment is practically certain to cause a change in existing wheat areas. - Russia has been our chief competitor in the Liverpool market hitherto, although Argentina and India have also been assert ing themselves, but the new aoeeaslon of wheat growing snawffi give Russia an advantage difficult to offset. Unless our agricultural interests are prepared to meet the threatened competition serious times are ahead for those farmers of the west and northwest whose chief source of wealth is their Wheatfields.—New York Commercial Advertiser.
