Since I have dissolved partnership with W. G. Womaet and
divided the grocery stock, I have purchased the entire gro
cery stock of R. W. James, on west side square, next door
to Lane's dry goods store, I now find that I need more
room and will have to reduce my stock, and will sell
for the next sixty days as cheap as they can be bought in
Kansas City, with carriage added. I have a fine line of
Queensware and Canned goods,
in short, I have everything that is cirried in a first class gro
cery store. I extend a cordial invitition to every one to call
in and see us and get prices before buying elsewhere. Try
me and I will treat, you weli.

THE OBI RAILROAD.
Ai Koterprue of Great Commercial sod
Geographical lmportauce.
The question of opening the interior
of Siberia becomes more and more im
portant While hitherto the canals
between the larjje rivers, and project
of navigating the dangerous Kara Sea,
were foremost :tmong the plans that
seemed likely to be realized, the project
of a railroad from the lower Obi to the
coast west of Nova Zembla has at
present assume! definite shape. The
Russian newspajers give the following
reports of the project: The Obi rail
road, the most northern roud ever
planned, will bi of the greatest eco
nomic importance to Siberia. It de
serves special attention, as tbe pro
jectors do not demand any subsidy or
Government guaranties. The river
Malaia-Obi. near Obdorsk. is the start
ing point of the projected line, which
will take a direction towards the foot
hills of the Ural Mountains. The lat
ter will be crossed in one of the trans
versal valleys, which are not over one
hundred feet above sea level. It will
cross the river Ussa near its source
and reach the ocean through the tun
dra of IJolchesemelsk. Its terminus
will be in the Bay of Shainoudir, near
Belcoff Nosse. The total length of the
line will be two hundred and sixty
miles. The price of construction, in
cluding roiling stock, is est. mated at
forty thousand dollars, or ten million
dollars the whole line. The establish
ment of a port on the Arctic Ocean
in the locality mentioned above,
with all modern improvements
for loading and unloading ves
sels, is estimated at one and
half million dollars. To this must be
added the cost of establishing a line of
river boats on the Obi and Irtish,
which is estimated at two and a half
million dollars. Thus the whole plan
requires the expenditure of fifteen
million dollars in works of construc
tion. It is believ ed that the line can be
worked for six months of the year.
The products of the remotest parts of
the Obi basin will ba carried to the
shipping port on the ocean in twelve
days, while twelve days more will be
sufficient to carry them to London.
The price per hundred weight is esti
mated at f 1.30; while u the present
route, via Barnaul, Ferm. St Peters
burg, London, it is $2.2o, the time nec
essary to accomplish this distance
being 130 days.
The railroad, which has been pro
jected by Mr. Golovacheff, is intended
as a means for making the transac
tions of a Siberian commercial com
pany, which has been founded re
cently, profitable. According to the
concession granted by the Russian
Government, this road will not bo open
to the public, but will only be used by
the grantee, who proposes to export
the grain and stock from Southern
Siberia, and hopes to be able to fur
nish the London market with North
Siberian lish. On the other hand, the
company will import principally ma
chinery, which so far has hardly
found its way to Siberia, and other
articles which are at present imported
bv Moscow merchants. Science.
GRADES !N CHINAWARE.
A Drummer Gives Awrv Some of the Se
crets of the Kindness.
Few people are aware of what are
known as firsts, seconds and thirds in
chinaware, so that when they purchase
goods they believe that they arc of the
same quality, and only look for beauty.
Hence, when they have bought a piece
or set of chinaware and observe some
thing wrong or peculiar about it and
yet can not understand why it is differ
ent from other chinaware, they have
received a second. A first in china
ware is something that is perfect and
without flaw. This class of goods com
mands the best prices, and is not often
reduced at sales. When the goods
just fall short of being perfect, that is,
defective in workmanship, not notice
able to the casual observer, they are
seconds and sell lower than the firsts.
A little crack in the glazing, a scratch
or an indentation makes a second. So,
also, you will find the plate warped or
the bottom of a saucer uneven. This
was caused by some accident in firing.
It makes the goods seconds. Some
dealers sell firsts and seconds at the
same price, making no distinction to
the customer, and even deliver a sec
ond where a first was chosen, thinking
only the pattern will be noticed, and
most people would not notice the dif
ference at onee. The best houses make
the distinction by setting a different
price on t he goods, so that a purchaser
wonders why apparentl vthe same sets of
china-ware are of unequal charge. The
dealer simply says one is more perfect
than the other. Sometimes the deal
ers mix the two grades and sell them
as firsts. This is as bad as making no
distinctions between firsts and seconds.
The thirds are goods that are defective.
In every firing of china some pieces are
imperfect, and yet not so bad as to be
thrown away. They are assorted into
a third grade and sold cheap. Hotels,
restaurants and places where the china
ware is apt to be broken purchase
thirds. St. Isouis Globe-Democrat.

ful farmers ia any community are they

CORN CULTIVATION.
How the Disadvantages of a Dry Season
Can He Itrst Overcome.
At the close of each growing season
there are some lessons of the year that
should be gathered up and rehearsed in
order to fix them permanently in mind,
and also to add to the stock of general
information, which all should be glad
to increase to its utmost extent If
the changes for each month for the en
tire season came in routine order
recurring at stated times in exact pe
riods of duration the science of agri
culture would long since have reached
beyond the domain of conjecture and
entered the list of exact sciences. Ts
effectual processes that bring success
in this year's operations would be the
pattern for next season's practice in
every line of farming. But in propor
tion as the changes of the season dif
fer, so the application of different prac
tices becomes necessary. Vv rule wo
are striving to determine what system
of tactics to employ in a wet or cold
season, we forget what manipulation
or the soil becomes necessary for a
dry one.
In discussing this phase of farming
with a few gathered farmers at a
neighbors fireside lately, the special
subject of growing corn in a dry season
came up, and it was generally conceded
that our knowledge of cause and effect
in the growth of this crop was very
limited. The heroic treatment of con
tinued cultivation has proved fatal in
every instance, especially where any
thing more than surface cultivation
was attempted. Many fields, under a
system that would bi- considered slack,
when gauged by the usual effective
methods, have produced all that could
have been expected in average years,
while constant and thorough cultiva
tion damaged and dwindled the crop
down to a meager half.
There is a limit beyond which culti
vation ceases to do good, and is fre
quently, especially in a dry season, a
serious damage. When the soil is free
from weeds, and is well pulverized, no
further manipulation can increase its
power of appropriating its essential
food and moisture. Every attempt to
increase this power disturbs the oper
ations of the root system and checks
the growth of the plant. Apple trees
are frequently pruned so severely that
they die of their wounds. Every
nurseryman knows that it takes from
seven to ten days for young trees to
recover, and begin to grow after each
pruning of the top. In a wet season,
when the earth has a full supply of
moisture, corn grows in spite of vigor
ous cultivation, and indeed the fact
that the season is wet, often prevents
excessive stirring of the soil. The
rule that is here now commonly ac
cepted, is to stir the surface of the
ground after each heavy rain that is
liable to crust the top soil; but while
the earth is becoming drier and drier,
keep out of the corn and sit in the
shade rather than work it then.
Wo know so little of what is going
on beneath the first two inches of earth
that it is not surprising that we allow
custom instead of knowledge to guide
our acts. The effectiveness of im
proved machinery makes it compara
tively easy to stir the soil to any rea
sonable depth. With this power to
do comes the desire and fashion, with
no consideration for the evil that may
be done to the growing crop. Har
rowing wheat in the spring with the
view of improving the growth is a
twin fallacy that ought to go to that
crowded limbo of rejected theories
where such nonsense naturally bo
longs, Cor. Coui'try Gentleman.
HOW WOOD IS BENT.
now the Latent Machines Devised for This
Purpose Do The.r Work.
Recent construction employs bent
wood much more largely than for
merly; replacing thereby sawed forms
of irregular shape or built-up members
with mortised and tenoned joints.
Bent wood is now largely used in
wagons, carriages and car building,
chair making: and the like; and it has
even been seriously proposed for ship
building to replace by bent members
all knees and other timber of curved
outline. The steam-box makes the
wood pliable, and when cold it retains
the form into which it was bent while
hot Recent machines bend small ar
ticles around hollow steam-heated
formers, thus doing away with the
necessity of opening a steam-box and
maintaining tight joints therein.
In bending shafts the formers and
beds are arranged in sections each to
hoid ten shafts, one section of ten
being made right and the other left
handed. All twenty of the shafts get
their vertical curvature around a
drum as in plow-handle bending, and
the lateral bend is accomplished after
the shafts have been brought down to
the horizontal plane and the vertical
bend thus formed. Both the form for
the vertical bend and the bed for the
horizontal are hollow and heated by
steam.
In a recent plow-handle bender, the
formers are cast in one piece, making
a cylinder to admit steam. Upon the
periphery of this there are fifteen
grooves of proper depth to suit the
inside shape and circle of the handle,
and at tho terminus of the grooves
there are lugs cast to attach long
handles to. Each handle is placed in
a socket and bent by a lever, over a
former; being allowed to remain tw
and one-half hours in place. After
this the handle will remain in shape in
any climate. Cor. Mechanical Sews.
