To make the Ladies' Home Journal for 1898 "the best of aU the years; th most cheerful and helpful magazine that a woman can possibly have in her home," is the purpose of its editors, as disclosed by a prospectus outlining a few of the projected features for the coming year. While the Journal will be more useful and practical than ever before, it is made apparent that its literary features will be strengthened, and that pictorially it will be more attractive and artistic than ever. A notable feature, "The Inner Experiences of a Cabinet Member's Wife," a series of letters from the wife of cabinet member to her sister, ill, it is said, reveal some startling and graphic pen pictures of Washington social and official life. They are so realistic that the etters will be published anonymously and are likely to attract national attention. The biog for butter and eggs.

William George Jordan, writing ou "Wonders of the World's Waste" in ths Ladies' Home Journal, says: "The garbage of a great city is worth a fortune every year, if properly utilized. In St.

Louis, the refuse is placed in enormous vertical cylinders, surrounded by steam jackets, which evaporates the 75 to 80 per cent of water in the garbage. The fatty substances are "dissolved, and as the result of a number of processes a fertilizer is produced which is worth from $9 to $12 a ton, the demand exceeding the supply. One of the purest and best soaps of the country was made of garbage grease before cotton seed oil entered the field. It Is now proposed to light London by electricity for nothing. It now costs that city $1.08 (4s.

Sd.) to get rid of a ton of garbage. A combination of boilers and other apparatus has been devised that can burn the garbage at twenty-four cents (one shilling) per ton, and generate steam sufficient to run enough dynamos to light the entire city. London can thus save 3s. 8d. on each ton, and, In addition, illuminate its city without cost Garbage, by a machine called the 'dust is converted into clinkers, which can be used for roadways, as artificial stone for sidewalks, and as sand for mortar and cement In Paris the Invisible particles of iron, worn from wheels and from the shoes of horses, are rescued by passing powerful magnets through the sweepings." Bull Pup with Appetite for Money.

From the St. Louis Republic: "Sub-Treasurer General Ryan of Cincinnati had a queer cate to deal with recently," 6aid Mr. John K. Loomis, a merchant of the Ohio metropolis. "A man named John R.

Mayon presented to him a demand for a new $20 bill. Mr. Mayon eaid that he had an old $20 bill up to a few days before. His bull pup, however, in a frisky gambol about the iKjuse, got hold 'of the treasury certificate and began chewing it with as much 'avidity as if it were the daintiest morsel known to dog kind. When he finished only two corners and a small piece of one edge were left to indicate that the bill ever had an existence.

Mr. Mayon swore to the facts in the case and they entitled him to recover from Uncle Sam. Mr. Mayon says that the pup has enhanced greatly in value elnce he showed such a fondness for eur lawful money." Gladstone Has Many Biographers.
