    ILEVY1NG TRIBUTE.
How Glftorakln? Has Degenerated Into a
Gcntod System of lUackmail.
Almost from the first era of which
history gives any record tho beautiful
custom of gift-making has been in.
vorue. Even tho ancients, whose cus
toms are explained in the Bible, observed
the custom, carrying pieces of gold and
silver, cloths, pots of honey and wine
and spices to contemporaneous people
when making visits of friendship or
when going on missions of peaco or er
rands connected with governmental af
fairs. Kins gave to Kings, Princes to
Princes, peasants to peasants, and mem
bers of the same family living at a dis
tance always carried some toKcn of es
teem when paying visits to each other.
From time immemorial it has been
the custom for lovers to exchange pres
ents upon any and all occasions, whether
or not an excuse could be found for it
outside of their desire to mutually pl c;
the people have lavished costly gifts
opon rulers without compulsion and
with; friend has given to friend, and
employes to employers. This system of
xpressiug love and esteem has always
been a popular one, and if it had been
preserved, as it should have ben, with
out the taint of "paying tribute," would
be to-day as beautiful and ennobling as
ft was in the days when the widow gave
her mite, without coercion and without
expectation of benefits therefrom in the
bereafter.
Time, it is said, changes all things. It
e ertainly has changed the custom under
discussion. Like many others, it has
degenerated until it lias new become
almost as hateful as it once was beauti
ful. The why and wherefore must be
answered by those- whose conscience
readily announced their guilt; the inno
cent must look to tli knowing ones for
information. How thfcdeplorablo state
of affairs has been brought about can be
explained by almost any on.
In olden times people who made gifts
did so of their own accord. This at least
was the case up to the time of tho
Ca'sars. When die lloman ruler Clau
dius came into power he became dis
gusted by the manner in which his pre
decessors had imposed on the people by
levying tributes, and issued a decree
limiting the practice. This edict re
ferred to the gifts made on New Year's
.'Da' and other fete days, but it was suf
tficient to break up, to a large extent,
jthe pernicious habit into which those in
,'power had fallen.
1 In modern times every conceivable
occasion is grasped by some for gift
making. Holidays, birthdays, wedding
anniversaries, promotions, election to
office, departures and almost everything
else must be celebrated in this way. and
it is this which has made the custom an
odious one.
A gentleman was talking on the sub
ject a few days ago.
"Do you know," said he, "that many
a man in this city has been compelled
at times to rob his family of some
needed comfort in order to keep up with
his fellow employes in gift-making?
Well, it is a fact, and to say the least of
it, a shameful one. A dozen men are
employed in a store, and some event in
the life of their employer makes recog
nition and reniembruuco on their part
essential not justly so, but still they
must not appear picayunish, and a
Jiresent is decided upon, and each fel
ow assessed enough to make in the
aggregate the sum required to purchase
it. Some of these men havo families
which they find it a hard matter, on
'pmall salaries, to provide for. These
two, or three, or five dollars taken from
their purses :ire needed at home, doubt
less, but still they have to give it up to
pamper to a foolish, aye, criminal cus
tom, or be called niggardly, and, niay
be, if their Stinginess' becomes known
to their employer, incur his displeasuro
and lose their place-."
"Do you think any man would be
mean enough to discharge an employe
lecaue,he refused to rob bis children
for such a purpose? '
"Do I ? Well. I should think so. I
know of instances where men have been
given to understand that they were cxr
peeled to contribute, and, failing, would
nave to look for work elsewhere. It is
this system of robberv which has made
gift-making so pernicious. Tho worst
feature is that it is growing steadily,
until now oine men can scarce turn
around without expecting some one to
give them something."
"Are not the people who givo pres
ents in a measure responsible for this
state of affairs?"
"Some of them, doubles. There are
always people who seek to curry favor
with theu- superiors through the instru
mentality of presents; there are still
others who have no better sense than to
think that is the only way to spend their
money for which they have no other
use. The latter are as bad as the form
er. They do not top to think wlien
they go around among their fellow-worknK-n,
subscription paper in hand,
expecting everyone to contribute some
thing, that the natural pride, of many
who Jiave nothing to spare will force
them to give up -for foolishne-s what
maybe is needed at" home' for barefooted
or bareheaded youngsters."
"And this habit is, "Spreading?"
"Like wild-Jir. ' Nowadays every
body has the craze. School children
give to teachers, employes to employ
ers, and holders of appointive o Dices
under city, county. Stale and national
governments to the heads of depart
ments, sometime-, though very seldom,
as a unanimously free-hearted token of
friendship; often through coercion. It
Is a shame."
"Is then no remedy?"
"The only one I know of is through
the making and enforcement of laws
prohibiting .-neh things. It should be
made a misdemeanor, punishable bv
fine or imprisonment, or both, for an
ofiicial in any go eminent, municipal.
State or national, to receive or ask
presents. The same law should be
made to apply to school teachers, and
it should be the leading rule in everv
factory, railroad and business house in
the land. Some States have such a law
as the one 1 .-peak ot. and I believe the
National Government prohibits the so
licitation of money for such purposes."
"You would not stop jrift-inakin" al
together?" "No. but I would make it so that
poor men could keep their earnings with
out the fear, if they refu-ed to ive up
to present-begirars. that thev would lose
their situations. I't one and all give
all they choo-e. ami when thev choose,
of their own free w ill. but stop every
thing that looks like the squeezing of
the under man by the man on top?"

WALL STREET GHOSTS.
Jim Keen Dropj Out of Sight lloir
Speculator- Ki-tiicvt Their Fortunes X
Wiser Man.
The enforced .-ale of James IL Keene's
last horse, and his disposal of his final
remaining share in a large apartment
house, mark the failure of his latest at
tempts to recoup. This has reminded
busy Wall Street that Keene still existed,
but needed something of the sort to re
call him to memory, for he has dropped
entirely out of the financial world, and
is no more a factor in the making of
prices than is any broker's office boy.
Yet Keene had a brillia.-it carter while
it lasted. He eame on herewith $3,000,
000 or thereabouts in i',:9 pockets and
struck the boom of -79-S0. and at one
time was worth not far from $15,000,
000. The riil-niff and the hangers-on
and the adventurers of the street
fastened on to him, flattered him, told
him his mission hi life -and his duty to-
ward mankind was to break Jay Gould,
and offered their advice and influence.
Eeene made money fast as long as
prices advanced. He bought with great
freedom and courage, and his name
was in every one's mouth. But when
the tide turned Keene was loaded. Ho
did not have the sagacity and celerity
of Gould, who has a knack of turning
even misfortunes to good account, but
kept on getting in deeper and deeper
until the inevitable rapped at his door,
and he found ho had lost all. Keene's
error seems to have been the error com
mon to beginners in Wall StreeL He
wanted to trade all the time. The cool
headed operator waits until the market
suits him. Three or four times every
year all hands in the street agree that
stocks are very low. There has been a
flurry, and prices have gone down ten
or twenty per cent.; they arc sure to re
act within a comparatively short time.
Then it is that the prudent man comes
to the front with his cash. But the man
who goes down into the street every day
and buys or sells for a siiort turn "feels
as though he must do something every
day, and that kind of trading never fails
to wreck the longest purse. Keene was
always in the market, and he was a1 ways
buying. The sharp set of fel
lows who manipulated Denvfcr and Kio
Grande up to 110 or thereabouts sold a
uranue up lo no or uiereauouia sum a
groat lot of stock to Keene, and he was
- 11-..1 . .! . ., i.l.i !...
compelled to take more to hold tne
price against their raids when they had
sold it short. He never was cunning
enough to conceal his operations, anil
the sharks of the street marked him
from the first. He was indiscreet
enough to quarrel with Jay Gould and
to threaten him, and Gould thereafter
did not count him as a friend. It is
very much better for a young Wall
Street man to have Gould's friendship
than his enmity. And so Keene
floundered until his money was gone.
He bids fair to becomo what the boys
call a ghost of Wall Street.
That thoroughfare is full of ghosts
of men who have been rich and who
now are penniless. They march down
to the street every morning regularly as
do the millionaires, and wander from
one broker's ollice to another, bending
over tho tape and talking all day long
about the market and predicting its
course. Once in a while they put up a
five-dollar bill in a bucket-shop and
strut around like fighting cocks if they
increase it to ten dollars; but that i3 the
end, for they immediately stake the ten
dollars and lose it. There arc ex-railroad
Presidents and ex-bank Presidents and
ex-evervbodys. It is sad to see them
and sadder to hear them talk; but it is
the old story of fortunes thrown away
in gambling for Wall Street operating
as usually conducted on margin is
gambling simon pure, and you can not
make anything else of it. Nineteen out
of twenty of the men who engage in it
leave money. They always havf some
good explanation of why they fall, but
the fact remains that they do fail. And
that should bo convincing and should
serve as a warning. Three-qua'ters of
the Wall Street operators of today aro
striving not to increase their 'orfunes,
but to get back what they hkve lost.
There is a fascination about winning a
few hundred dollars that overbalances
tho regret of losing a few thousand. A
man will lose four times rditning and
yet go in the fifth time with ai assurance
within him that ho can win back
all he has lost If he chances to
win $1,000 after he has lest $4,000 bo
instantly believes that he can make hh
fortune." He never loses that belief
while he has a hundred dollars remain
ing, and when the hundred is broken
he repairs to a bucket shop having
become a ghost of Wall Street firm in
tho belief that on a cash capital of 810
or $20 he will recuperate enough to
take him back into a regular broker's
office, where he will pile up the money
until he is rich again. And so he gam
bles every cent on which ho can put
hands.
The Wall Street game as played at
present is a losing game, and the sooner
a man who is bemud the game severs
all connection with it, the better off he
will find himself in the immediate hero
after. Jay Gould did not make his
money trading in the fluctuations of
stocks. Ho did it by buying entire rail
roads, reorganizing them, watering"
their stock, consolidating them, 40n
putting them on the public; at an enor
mous advance from first cost or cost to
himself. His gigantic schemes have,
been originated ly him. The theory
has been to get possession of bankrupt
roads and consolidate them and give
them the appearance of prosperity. Thjp
ivuuasn system is mauo up oi soma
twenty different roads not more tffan
three of which were paying running ex
penses when Gould bought them. Yet
lie threw them together and ran the
price of preferred stock up to 90, and
the common stock up to J0, at which
( prices the public relieved him of them
! And he moved on to fresher pastures
ami put up fresher jobs. His amalga
mations and his consolidations havo
been on a most stupendous scale, and
have demanded the out-put of millions;
but they have brought him back tens of
millions. The same is true, but to a
lesser extent, of Vanderbilt. He has
increased the fortune that his father
left him, not by speculating in stocks,
but by solid investment and by the in
crease in values of the properties that
came into his possession. The men who
have made fortunes through stock spec
ulations are indeed few. The men who
have lo-t fortunes in the same manner
are numbered bv thousands. iV. Y. Cor.

"OLD HORSE."
Xh Technical Term by Which Expi
Companies Designate Unclaimed Goods.
"Did you ever attend a sale of 'old
horse?' " was a question propounded to
a reporter in the Russell House yester-
' day by a gentleman formerly connected
j with one of the express companies.
I A negative answer being returned,
the gentleman continued :
, "Then you have missed one of the
greatest opportunities of your life. Per
haps you don't know what 'old horse'
means. If not, I might say thai the term
'- used by express companies in lieu of
I 'unclaimed goods.' Every year the un-
claimed express matter which has ac
cumulated at the several offices of the
1 company throughout the State is
, shipped to Detroit or to the principal
uttice in the State in which tho sale is
held, and the names and addresses, of

papers. If not claimed bv a certain

second-hand goods of all kinds turn out
in large numbers and buy nearly all tho
stuff. It is very laughable to watch
the expression on the countenances of
those who make purchases when they
open up the packages. A particularly
fat-looking valise may contain nothing
but an accumulation of bricks or
worthless trash, and tho buyer is loser
to the amount of what he paid for tho
article. On the other hand, a common
looking parcel may yield a handsome
profit on the amount invested. It is
the uncertainty of the thinp that at

ten are disappointed.
"Some time ago I aittended an annual
sale in Baltimore which was far ahead
of anything in that line I ever saw, and
I made some money on a couple of
purchases I made. The auctioneer put
up a small, black valise, very much the
worse for wear, and 1 bought it for
something like two dollars. I took it
to a locksmith, who opened it for me,
and I found inside about three dozen
silver spoons and some other tableware,
worth probably thirty or forty dollars.
The articles are now in daily use at my
house. I was much elated over my
good fortune and concluded to try it
again. I went back and bought a pack
age which I opened on tluj premises.
What do vou think it contained?
A diminutive skeleton, beautifully
mounted and apparently the property
of some well-to-do physician. I didn't
bother taking that home, however; it
wasn't much of a household necessity
or ornament, so I turned it over to a
friend of mine who was trying to squirm
through college. I have seen people
buy at these sales dry goods, food,
clothing, in fact everything you can
mention; and some of them secured
bargains, although for the most part
the oids were extravagantly out of pro
portiou to the apparent valuo of the
goods.
"How is it that-such a quantity of ex
press matter is left unclaimed by the
owners?" inquired the reporter.
"There are a great many reasons for

KINDLING WOOD.
A GWt Industry in New York City Thai
Li Little Thought About.
With winter comes kindling wood.
And what an immense amount of it,
too! The fires in furnaces, stoves and
grates are constantly going out. and
as constantly require relighting. The
rattle of the sticks dumped from the
cart down the coal hole is a sound al
most as familiar as a campaign cheer,
while in front of every grocery are tall
columns of the more aristocratic kin
dling that is tied up in round bunches
and piled one on top of the other.
By the uninitiated kindling wood is
considered a mere bagatelle in house
hold arrangements a convenient do
mestic economy that titil.zes all the
odds and ends of wood that will ac
cumulate and otherwi&e would prove a
nuisance. But the odds and ends don't
supply the demand, or b;-gin to. The
manufacture of this insignificant article
is a great and growing industry that
employs hundreds of men and con
sumes as many cords of wood in this
city every day.
Where is it all made?
A Herald reporter went to see. Most
of the yards are on the West side, in
the vicinity of Gansevoort Market, yet
there are others, and no inconsiderable
number either, scattered along both
water fronts from the Battery to Har
lem lliver.
The reporter, searching for a yard,
threaded his way through those nar
row, dirty and obstructed streets that
branch out of the old Greenwich vil
lage, and are cut short in their bewild
dering course by the North River. The
peculiar odor of pine and fresh cut
wood greeted him as he went along.
Within a couple of blocks of the- river
was a long row of straggling sheds,
with a tall brick chimney rising from
their midst The buildings, chimney
and everything connected with the es
tablishment was painted lead color.
Sawdust floated everywhere, and the
hum of buzz saws drowned all other
sounds. Under the eaves of a one
story building were eight little roofs
projecting over eight apertures, from
which fitful streams of kindling wood
were tumbling into eight carts drawn
up underneath. In less than ten min
utes a cart was filled, and its place
quickly takeu by others that were con
stantly arriving, the streams never
stopping meanwhile. Through an
archway further down an intermittent
procession of one-horse carts was filing
up from the docks loaded with straight
grained and sound looking cord wood.
The reporter followed a cart into the
enclosure.
"Is this all going to be kindling
wood?" is the first thought that strikes
a beholder. The place was only typical
of dozens of others, A description of
one will answer for all. A large yard,
nearly filled with tiers of corcf wood,
that rise in steps from the height of a
man to over a score of feet On the
steps are laborers, with blue blouses
and overalls, passing up the sticks to
other laborers above. Under the sheds
are rows of sawing machines, from
which the chunks, as they come out, are
dropped into a slide Chat places them
iuto an upright position under a "split
ter," an arrangement of crossed knives
that descend with trip hammer force
on the end of the stick. From each
cutter is a revolving belt, with brackets
attached, that carries tho split wood
away and dumps it in the carts out
Bide. In another building are the buudlers,
the men who make iw, the little buudles
of short sticks. Each bundler has a
reservoir in front of him with an open
ing in the bottom, from which he takes
the pieces to fill the gauge by which
they are measured. The deftness dis
played by the bundlers in picking out
sticks that fit the required crevice, and
tho rapidity with which they fill the
gauges, are remarkable. When full, a
lever power is applied by the foot, and
the bunch squeezed down to dimensions
of about a foot iu diameter. By an in
genious arrangement a cord is in con
stant readiness to be knotted around
the bunch.
"It is a rather odd economy that
kindling is made out of one of the most
expensive timbers Virginia pine," said
an old dealer.
"What does it cost?"
"Never less than six dollars a cord.
It is all brought up here from Virginia
in sloops. But it is getting higher and
less plentiful each vear, and it is only a
question of a short time when tho sup
ply will give out altogether."
"What will you io then?"
"Oh, get it from some remote point.
The center of wood supply has gradu
ally been moving away from New York
and the consumption of wood done
away with as much as possible."
"The time was," he continued, "when
every New York family used to have an
open wood fire, and cheerful embers
glowed on many hearths the center of
every tiling homelike. Now we are a
city "without hearths, and with much
less of a home feeling about our abodes
than of old. In those days the fuel
was brought dowi from the banks of
the Hudson, and it was possible to burn
it prodigallv and still not be extrava
gant" "How much wood is used now in
kindlings?"
"I can only give you an idea of what
the factories u.se and that will surprise
you."
"There are about fifty factories in
the city. They each use on an average
about twenty cords a day at this season.
That is, one thousand cords of first
class pine timber are used every day to
light the fires in this city. The poor
have to stand the brunt of it, too.
They have not the room to store a load
andso buy it by the bunch at an enor
mous profit to the dealers. The
bunches, which are made from the
waste, are sold at from one to two cents
each, about' four times their actual
valuo. The poor use the most expen
sive wood to light their fires and pay
more for it than the rieh. And they
will have to pay still more soon, when
we are compelled to bring the wood
from Manitoba or some other out of
the way place." A". 1'. Herald.

"Doctor, don't a good many pcoplo
procure medical treatment who aro not
sick?"
j "Of course they do. There's nothing
, the matter with half tho so-eailed in-
val'ils. I always kept a big batch of
bread pills ma.le up for that cla-s of pa-
, rients. Mar- a ouf I've got o'lt of bed
j with that sham medicine, and they
, thought nivj a man of profound learning
and skill."
"Th-jy just imagined th-.'v were ijick?"
"Cerfainlv! A woman is tho contra-
, riest of God's creatures. If sha raake3
up her mind she's sick, you can't talk
, her out of it. You nuiat administer
someth'ng. I had one call me years ago
that lay in bed for nine months, audsne
! was. as" well as I am. On a certain day
; there wi; one of these circus and ani
mal show combinations passing. I had
an inspiration that beat any compound
my skill could produce. I hired the
manager to let a tame bear out of the
cage and we all. set up a hue and cry,
the children went for the woods, and
that woman took after them without
even atopping to make a toilet There
was nothing under the heavens the mat
ter with her, and when her husband
came to settle I thought for a while he'd
boot her all over the farm."
"Ever havo any other case of the im
agination?" "Lots of them. A big hulking fellow
about ten miles from the town I was
practicing in got the idea that he was
going to die at just eleven o'clock in
the forenoon of a certain day. About
nine o'clock a messenger came for me.
I hurried out. When I got there tho
crank had fifteen minutes to live ac
cording to his calculations. He did
look like a man on the verge of eternity.
His eyes were dim and .sunken, his face
had that peculiar pallor which heralds
the near approach of death, and his
breathing was very labored. The family
were gathered around and weeping aa
they took a final leave. Something had
to be done quick. There was a smart
looking woman there and I called her
aside. Pointing to the clock on the
mantelpiece whioh the patient wa3
watching. I said: 'When I havo hit
attention turn that ahead.' Then 1
crowded into the family group, hustled
them into the next room, sat down on
the edge of the bed and began telling
that fellow one of the most horrible
murder stories you ever heard. I located
it right in the town where ho knew
everybod', named the woman killed,
went into blood-curdling details and so
completely interested the man that he
forgot about his eleven o'clock appoint
ment. When I gave him a chance to
look again it was twenty minutes to
'twelve, and he was actually mad for a
time, claiming that he had been tricked.
He finally got to laughing and we all
took dinner together. The next day ho
'whipped two men at a baru raising" for
twitting him about the programme of
death that miscarried."
"Wasn't there auvthing the matter
with him?"
"Not a thing
except what no imag
what ho
ined. He was sound as a bullet, but if
I had not adopted that ruse he would
have gone over to the majority at eleveu
o'clock."
"Doesn't imagination sometimes cure
people who are really ill?"
"To be sure it does. Imagination has
a strange and unaccountable power. I
had a funny incident that answers your
inquiry. There was a giddj' young
widow called at my office one day. She
was a hitetily creature. Talked all the
time she was awake, you kuow, and had
as much laugh as she had talk. She
wasn't very clipper when she came,
however. She was on crutches and ac
companied by a solicitous companion
who was brim full of sympathy. The
invalid had a knee badly swollen from
rheumatism and wanted to know if I
could administer electricity, whicb
always helped her. I soon had" a batter?
in shape. Tho sympathetic friend
placed one connection at the invalid's
knee, which appeared angrily in
flamed. I held the other connec
tion in my left hand so as to
complete the circuit by touching the
patient with my right. I drew my fing
ers across the back of her neck and of
course she indulged in a few little
screams and some hysterical conversa
tion. "Doctor, that's a strange sensa
tion. Ouch! haven't I got about
enough? My knee feels a great deal
better. Don't fill me up with that elec
tricity. There now you must just quit
I've got a whole streak o' lightning iu
me now and I knew it was all I needed.'
The pretty widow walked out to her
carriage without a limp, and had no
trouble in being the belle of all balls lot
the balance of the season. I had no
ticed a waggish student of mine in the
next room stuffing handkerchiefs in his
mouth, writhing with suppressed laugh
ter, winking at me on the sly and in
dulging in a can-can whenever visible to
me alone.
" 'What in the thunder are you mak
ing such a fool of yourself about,' I en
quired when the ladies had departed.
He roared away and pointing to the
battery said: 'You might have killed
that handsome creature by an over
charge of electricity.' I looked and
joined in the hilarity. I hail neglected
to hitch on to the battery and tho wid
ow's vivid imagination had supplied the
currents which wrought so sudden a
cure." Detroit Post.

When a well-known member of this
community, now dead, was State Sen
ator from this citv, he was engaged in
some very radical measures which sorely
cut into man' people whom he thought
were in need of reform. They abused
him very thoroughly, but in his honesty
he maintained tho fight strongly. A
friend of his from the city visited him
in Sacramento while the measures were
pending.
"Well, what do they say of me in San
Francisco?"
"They don't speak very well of you."
"What do thev say about me? That's
what I want to know."
"Well, they say very rough things
about you. I don't care to "
"Speak it out Tell mo how they
talk."
"They call you a liar, a scoundrel, a
thief, an ignoramus, an idiot every
thing they can think of that is bad."
"Ah," said the Senator, rubbing liis
hands in glee and chuckling in perfect
enjoyment, "they feel me, my boy, they
feel me!" Sari Francisco Chronicle.
Stock-Brokers in London.
By an old law of Queen Anne's time,
and an addition thereto during George
Ill's reign, all London stock-brokers
are required to register at Guildhall and
pass a satisfactory inspection as to
character. Lately complaint has been
made that persons not registered were
practicing as brokers, and the Board of
Aldermen has had the list of registered
brokers published and offers a reward
of 250 for information concerning any
unregistered ones. The number of
stock-brokers in London as shown by
the published list is 2,102. Philadelphia

A New Yorker was quietly shaving
himself the other afternoon when a
bullet crashed through the looking
glass iu front of him. He thought it
was a barber's joke, when a second
bullet whistled past his ear and
entirely destroyed the reflective
power of the glass. This put
the gentleman on his guard and he
dodged the third bullet, and then went
out to investigate. The shooter was
found to be a neighbor who was cele
brating: he made an apology, and re
marked that he wa nvt aware that his
revolver would earn -o far. Ar. Y.

"Novelties in popcorn? Yes, sir,"
Mid Boston's only manufacturer of this
toothsome commodity. "There's what
we call 'boss corn candy.' It is of as
sorted flavors, strawberry, chocolate,
and vanilla aud such cake is put up in
white, waxed paper. We sell it iu lots
to suit and it retails for five cents per
cake. Theu we have a heavy-sugared
corn in assorted flavors, called 'crumbs
of comfort' As a novelty, also, we
get up large guess corn-balls, of any
sie, for church and society fairs. We
made one some time ago containing
three bushels of corn, and one quite
recently containing over a bushel."
"Any nior novelties?"
"Yes, we make what we call a return
corn-ball.' with elastic attached, which
retails for a penny. And we are put
ting corn of assorted flavors into lace
bags of many colors. These retail at
lve cents per bag. In the last four
years we have gotten up uo less thau
eight different styles of penny pop
corn prize-packages. For Christinas
we get up plain white and red aDd white
sugared corn, of a-.-oated flavors, for
stringing. These striugs of corn, as
you know, are largely used for decorat
ing Christinas trees. We have also
what are called coarse corn cakes,
made with pure Porto Rico molasses,
and put up in gla-s-front cans, aud a
ground or fine corn cake, also made
with molasses, aud put up iu tin boxes.
The litter are especially for the South
