A 3Ical Graut Enjoyed. An unpublished stoiy of General Grant was told yesterday at the Grand Pacific by Paul Gores: - 'I was steward at the Palmer House," ho said, "when the ex-President stopped there on his return from the tour of the world. One noon I was all but stupefied at seeing General Grant creep into the kitchen door, as though escaped from 86me one. 'I am sorry to trouble you,' he said, as though asking a great favor, 'but mayI hnve a little corucd beef and cabbuge?' 'Why, certainly,' I replied. But shall I not send it to you out in the dining room?' 'No,' he answered, 'I'll cat it right here, if you let me sit down at this table.' So I cleared away a place on the rough board table, where the cook had been fixing the meat, drew up a stool and the way ho got away with that corned beef and rabhage made my eyes buliie. When he ha 1 finished he laid down his knife arid fork and with a funny sigh of satisfaction, put one hand on my shoulder and said, 'Young man, I suppose you don't care for that at all, but if you had had tlo cat what I have for the past few months it would taste like a dinner for the god.' The poor old fellow bad dined with everybody from the Queen down, and that cubbage in my kitchen did him more good than all the rest together." Chicago News. Arc Plants Degenerating! The curious theory is advanced by Pro fessor W. 11. Lazenby, of the Ohio Ex perimental Station, that cultivated plants arc degenerating. I o this degeneracy he a-scribes the increased losses from blight and insect injuries. To a limited extent this is probably true. Defect of nutrition cau.-cd by impoverished soil exposes treis to diseases that on well fertilized land they escape. It is known too that oui climate does not develop the heaviest weight in spring p. ruins, so that seed oats have to be brought to this country from Europe every year to renew its vigorous growth. Where potatoes are grown for a long serie? of years from sets the plants inherit less mn3 less vitality, and the crop is helped by renewing varieties 'from the seed ball. ilift in the corn crop, where more care is taken than in any other in selecting the best ears for grx-d, there is a cons-tant-tendeucy towards improvement. It shows that this is largely a matter ot careful seed selection and good farming. Boston Cultivator. TO DEHORN A CALF. A calf may be deprived of its horns very easily when a month old by the use of caustic potash, a stick of this being applied to the wetted part of the head where the germ of the horn is to be felt. The hair should be shaved off first. No treatment, but to protect the wound from the air by a 'small plaster or salve, is needed. New York Times. BLtJE GRASS FOR LAWNS. Pure Kentucky blue grass will make as good a lawn as any mixture of different species. If the' land is low and moist, then add a little redtop. What is sought in a good lawn is a grass with pure soft green leaves and fibrous roots, in order that it will withstand close cutting and not look coarse and rough after each shearing with the lawn mower. Y,u can add a little white clover if desired, but it will seldom last more than a year or two, and frequent resowings will be necessary to keep a lawn well stocked with closer. New York Sun. Milk as a (Jerm Bestrjyer. Unexpected results have been obtained in experiments by Dr. Freudenreich. The cholera bactllus died in an hour when put into fresh cow's milk, and in live hours in fresh goats milk ; the bac illus of typhoid fever, however, surviv ing twenty four hours in cow's milk, but only five hours in goat's milk. Other microbes were destroyed in varying periods. Instead of being purified by boiling, the milk hud lost its power to kill microbes. The bactericidal proper ties also weakened with age, disappear ing completely in four or five days. Trenton (N. J.) American. Gruesome Souvenirs. "A remarkable tribe of Indians are the Napos, who live in the northern part of Chile. Instead of wearing scalp3 at their belts as tropics, like the American sav ages, the heads of their enemies dangle at their girdles. By a1 mysterious pro cess known only to themselves, they re move all the facial and cranium bones without cutting the skin, or destroying the interior. Then the head is then re duced, without, maiming any of the features, to the size of a man's fist."- Pittsburg Dispatch. SMUT IN WHEAT. Wheat may be cleaned from smut by immersing the seed for a very short time in scalding water, because the smut lives in the stem of the wheat, and unless it penetrates it while it is very tender it will not effect it at all. The hot water kills the spores that are on the wheat without affecting the grain and no spores get to the early stem. An early variety would be as much affected by smut as any other. An early variety is not af fected by scab as much as a late variety. The. early blossoms'receive a spore and ripen their fruit for distribution by ,the time the later blossoms come out. As these spores are numerous, the late wheat is decidedly at a disadvantage. Where wheat is on the same ground as last year, it will probably be injured toa greater extent. Farmers Should watch their wheat, and if the disease begins to show its presence, pluck out the diseased heads, as one early head may spread the disease to a thousand others. St. Louis Republic.

There, is a simple little remedy for tak ing out ink marks on linen:, which is so little known that it is perhaps worth men tioning. One is repeatedly coming across people who have never even heard of it, and who rush in despair to salts of lemon, often with the final result of a hole where the stain used to be. This remedy has been tried for years and never kjiown to fail, however big the strain. Before sending the tablecloth, serviette, or whatever the article may be, to the wash, lay the spot where the ink has marked it in: a saucer of fresh 'unboiled milk for three or four hours; at the end of that time the ink will 'have spread out to a much greater extent. But don't be alarmed. It will all come out in the wash, "and leave not a rack behind." -New York Commercial Advertiser. ; ' CLEANING : WINDOWS. Cleaning windows is an important part of the work in the routine of housekeep ng, and while it does not seem a difficult task to keep the glass clear ani bright", it nevertheless requires a knowledge of what not to do. Never wash windows when the sun is shining upon them, otherwise they will be cloudy and streaky from drying before they are well polished off ; and never wash the out side of the window first if you wish to save trouble. Dast the glas3 and sash aud wash the window inside, using a lit tle ammonia in the water, wipe with a cloth free from lint, and polish off with soft paper. For the corners, - a small brush or pointed stick covered- with -one end of the brush is useful. t When you come to the glass outside, the defects re maining will be . more closely seen. Wipe the panes as soon as possible after washing arid rinsing, and polish with either chamois or soft paper. In rinsing, one may dash the water on the outside or use a large sponge. It is preferable to a cloth. Boston Cultivator. PS I SERPENT JEWELRY. The serpent family is represented in almost every form of jewelry excepting ladies' rings. In this one particulai form, when coiled up arouiid the finger, the serpent has a horror for them which no amount of devotion to the Cleopatra craze could overcome. This is the rea son -why serpent rings are only made foi men, but it mystifies one when trying to reconcile this strange antipathy with tht great popularity of the snake bracelets a few years ago, and now growing in favor again, for in bracelets, many of the ser pents coil arouud the arm two and three times, and with the opportunity that this larger size affords, are made more vicious looking than ever. There is an' added gleam to their green emerald jeyes while their heads are raised and jaws set as though ready for action. New York Recorder.

R. Taf t, only a brief sum mary of .what is thought will be most practically useful can be here given. First It was found that the seed end is as good, if not better, than anv other part of the potato for planting, and as a rule produces fewer small tubers. Second As a rule, medium sized pota toes cut into halves lengthwise, using at the rate of thirteen to fifteen bushels of seed to the acre, will produce best net results, planted one and a half or two feet apart. , Third If smaller seed is used the eyes should be fifteen inches apart, and pieces containing two or three eyes about eighteen inches. At distances over two and one-half feet the number of hills is so much decreased that the yield is less ened. Fourth When potatoes are cheap it does not pay to use small potatoes as seed, but when seed potatoes are high tubers the size of hen's eggs may be used for one year without ereatly decreasing the yield. Fifth Even on fairly rich soil manure or fertilizers can be used with profit. When manure cannot be obtained with out hauling two or three miles 500 pounds of mixedcbemicals or of some brand of commercial fertilizer will be cheaper to use and will be a profitable investment. Other items are, that as the best depth for planting, the result seemed to favor covering the seed about three inches. This seemed to be right for dry seasons. The highest yield was obtained when manure was used as a mulch between the rows. While it can readily be shown that the fertilizers were used with profit, it is difficult to say which of the chemi cals was most necessary. It is to be observed that the land on which the ex-, periments were made is represented as to excellent tilth and of more than average fertility. New York World. j A COMFORTABLE SOFA PHXOW. !A most practical pillow for a louneje catalogued in the list of trades is that of cray hair pulling, but a few women in New York make their living in this way, Evidently the old tradition that "for every gray hair pulled out three will come to the funeral" doe3 not obtain among the employers of these artists. To some women gray hair is very becoming, or, rather, some giay hair is becoming to its owners. Straight, tine hair when it is gray does not prettily frame a face; it is heavy and lifeless. A woman pos sessing it is justified in putting the evil day off as long as possible. Coarse, fluffy hair, with a tendency to curl, is a con siderable beautifier. Many women hav ing such are surprised to find themselves, after years of commonplace looks, en dowed bv the whiteuinjr of their hair with a really distinguished appearance It is a mistake to dress gray hair negli gently. The "sweet dishevelment of loose locks and escaping curls does not belong to silvered crowns. Frizzes and bangs of gray hair are equally out of character. Soft puffs, or a la pompa dour, are . most effective coiffures when the youthful color has departed from a woman's glory. New Orleans Picayune. in a living room, where it must serve for both use and beauty, can be made in the following manner, says Mrs. Walsh in the Housewife. Procure one yard of art linen eighteen inches wide, a feather pillow about half a yard square, half a yard of gold-colored China silk, one yard wide of fine white cotton, two yards of white silk lacing- cord and wash silk enough to work the design. Hemstitch the sides of the linen with an inch hem ariti have it stamped in some conventional design of a rather large pattern and work this in outline stitch in wash silk of two col ors (the one described in white and gold), embroidering .them according to one3 own taste; then sew the ends of the linen together on the . wrong side; be ginning about four inches from the seam, work four eyelet holes about four inches apart in the hems, then skip eight inches, and do four more, bringing ihem within about four inches of the same of the other side. Cover the tick ing of the pillow with the white cotton cloth, cut the gold-colored silk in half and puff it across1 to opposite ends of the pillow, fastening it about two inches in from the edge; slip the linen over this and lace it together across the puffs with the white silk cord, so when the linen part is soiled it can be removed and laundered. , ' I have used one of these pillow3 for lome time and it has proved a source of satisfaction every time it has been freshly 'aundered.

A good water supply cannot be over estimated. Treat your hired help well if you want to keep it. Overloading is liable to make young horses'bulky. Do not waste on land fertilizers that' it does not need. Currants need a rich strong soil; the roots run deep. Trees are often planted in a thin, worn out soil, and actually starved to death. A good dressing of manure would have saved them. T x 1 i i in transplanting strawDerriesi some prefer to drop them into a bucket of water as fast as they are taken up, and keep wet until set out. When the fair managers Begin to offer premiums for the fastest walking horses, they will begin to make the horse fea ture of value to the farmer. It is poor economy to undertake to plant all the garden at once. Much of the seed will fail to germinate. Repeated planting will give better results. Clover stands first in ralue as green food for hogs and rye next. The latter can be sown a-j as to give -'successive' crop3 foi pasturage until snow flies.

PHYSICAL TnAINING FOIt WOMEX. It is said to bo a Bostan "fad" to at cend the gymnasium, but if so it is at least a very commendable one. The day of physical culture , f or -women, outside of a few exercises with dumb-bells and "wands" at select boarding schools, is a development of recent years. It is gratifying to note how rapidly the idea has already spread. The clubs or classes for gymnastic training among women ana girls are by no means confined to Boston or even to Massachu setts. The movement id steadily gaining ground everywhere throughout the United States. Especially, is this the case at the American colleges to which girls are now sent for higher mental training. In many respects the gymna sium of a girl's college is equilto that of any other college. The girl students have boat-clubs and regattas, into which they enter with as much spirit as if the scene were New London and the event the "varsity" race. . r While the girl students build up brain cells by study, they also gain muscle by exercise, and tho girl college graduate of the present day can "put up" a dumb bell as neatly and proficiently as she can analyze the teachings ot Kant or Schlegel. In fact, she docs the one all the better for having done the other. In addition, the game of tennis has served to develop stronger muscles. The safety bicycle, the "tandem" and the tricycle, and more recently the bicycle, have won many young women and girls into the delights cf a healthy spin along country roads, and, among those who can affoid it horseback riding has gained great popu larity within recent years. In fact, eveiy outdoor sport1 which is not of too rough or too dangerous a nature has re cently been adapted to feminine participa tion, and the athletic girl of to-day can row or fish, ride or walk, bowl or play tennis or golt as well as her brothers. j A generation or so ago her accomplish ments would have been considered un- maiienly; to-day she has every reason to be prou i of her proficiency, and is gen erally admired for her skill and expert- ness by her brothers and envied by her leas accomplished sisters. There is much reason for satisfaction in this increase of health and vigor in womankind, all the more so as too many young men of the present day have not shown the same eagerness toward physical development. It is to be hoped that the narrow-chested, thin, cigarette- oiting young man who is too often teen on the city streets may be shamed into athletic training by his sense of physical inferiority when compared with the girls of to day who can walk two miles to his one and who show in every movement the perfect health which he lacks. At all events, the development of a healthy athletic spirit among Ameri- iou gms luuaua au important gam to tne pnysical standard of the Nation and, per- naps, a decrease in the mortality from hereditary disease and especially from consumption, which seems the curse of American and especially New England families. .On that account alone, the spread of physical train in is ereatly to be desired.

An English paper proposes a new spray ing machine that will deliver the spray under cover so that the wind will not disturb it, and also one that will raise up the vines and thus permit the spray to reach all sides. A further great reduction in the cost of aluminum has been hoped for by M. Faure, whose process consists in obtain; ing cheap aluminum chloride and de composing it electrically. The chlorine would be a valuable bye product. The commercial success of the plan, however, is Dot yet assured: . It has been found that by ; passing mixed hydrogen and carbonic oxide over nickel and cobalt they can be separated. Then by applying the hydrogen to strips of platinum, a powerful primary ; battery is formed which will yield, it is stated, fifty per cent, of the total energy in the hydrogen absorbed. . An installation of electric light is be ing laid down in the Batignolles Tunnel near Paris, France,; in which the incan descent lamps are placed at a height of about fifteen feet above the rails.

Long distance photography is rendered quite successful by a new camera with a telescope objective, which consists of a concave lens of short focus and a convex lens of considerable length of focus.

The exposure was over three hours, instead of one hour as arranged for plates of the international chart of the heavens; and if such exposure wcro possible for the entire man, it is thought that 300,000,000 stars would record their existence, instead of 30,000,000.

At a meeting of the Zoological Society jtie evening recently Mr. Sclater exhib- i si -s . . nea some curious oiacx ana wane mice recently added to the society's collection of living animals, says the Pall Mall Ga zette. These creatures are the product of Japanese ingenuity and show several curious characteristics. Their Jblack and white color is remarkable, since they ap pear to be merely a variety of the com mon domestic mouse. They have a habit, too, of pursuing their owa tails. This habit is paralleled in a remarkable way by the "tumbler pigeons. In the two cases it may possibly be due to a defect in brain structure. In any" case, the peculiarities are handed down from parent offspring in both animals. The mice are usually called 'Spinning mice," FASHION NOTES. New slippers have very large, elaborate and richly jeweled rosettes. Colored silks are used to lino white' dotted muslin dresses. Navy-blue and heliotrooe are seen the new importations of costumes. Leghorn hats with windmill bows pink satin are worn by ladies' maids. Coat-tails are more Torn than tho pointed waist by short-waisted people. Linen collars turned over all round with culls to match are again worn with wool dresses.- The long coat or basque is still worn for the streetvbut without the exesssive ly high collar. In the new checks shown for mount ain wear there are very large designs as wen as small ones. Cotton crepon is a favorite wash goods. It does not laundry to have its pristine freshness like to giDghams, pe'r calines or batistes. The point de genes lace is getting a little overdone. It seems a trimming which can be used equally well on any fabric and therefore it is common. The silk petticoat for full dress should be cut with the bias seam in the back, like the dress, and trimmed with one deep flounce, with narrow Russian laca on either edge. Bishop sleeves, with cuffs or wrist bands of the depth to suit the length of the wearer's arms, are worn for house gowns, ana will be used for summer eut-aoor costumes, Rapid Railroad Building. In an article in a recent numbet of the Engineering Magazine, J. 8. Colemau describes the process of track laving on the Texa3 and Pacific Railway, where as much as three miles of track were laid in one day, which is stated to be a record performance for a single force of tracklay ers working, from one end. The main difficulty in such performances is said to be the supply of the material. In this instance the sleepers had to" bo trans ported a distance of nearly eight hundred miles, and delays were therefore fre-J quent, consequently reducing tho rate of progress considerably. The arrange ment of forces for laying was as follows: A tie squad in advance of all others who laid the ties. These ties were loaded in wagons and hauled by teams along the roadbed, and set and spaced under the care of the engineer who accompanied the squad. In tbe most rapid work this gang numbered one hundred and twenty-five. Behind the tie-setters and spacers came the iron gang, who brought with them the truck into which the rails were loaded; as they advanced, the rails were taken out of the car by twos and dropped into place on the ties. The ends were then brought SuUg with the last rails laid and placed at the proper gauge. The car was then advanced over these rails and the process repeated until it was empty, when it was tipped off tho line to make way for a second truck and gang, who continued the work. Close behind this gang came tho "strappers," who make the joints between the rails, and the first spiker, who simply spiked the centers and ends of the rails to the ties, which. held them securely1 enough for the loaded iron trucks to pass over them. These were followed by the main force of spikers who finished the work, so that the material trains could deliver -the ties and iails as near the working point as possible. The "lining," "sur facing," and "black filliug" was done by three separate squads of men in the order named, who left the work ready for in spection. Remarkable Fecundity of Plants. English experiments have probably dono more in the line of testing the fecundity of vegetables and useful plants than the Americans have, the reasons for this being obvious : They must figure to economize space, whereas the American farmer can scatter a little grain over his many broad acres. Recent tests made under the auspices of .the Royal Philo sophical Society with a single barley stalk unfolded wonders which but few have ever thought eveD possible. By eteeping and watering that one plant with saltper dissolved in rainwater they managed to produce two hundred and forty-nine stalks and over eighteen thousand grains 1 , i It has also been shown that the white elm of our bottom lands and groves yields, one year with another, at a very moderate estimate, too, 329,000 seeds. Now, an elm ordinarily lives a full hun dred years, and, consequently, in the course of that comparitively short life, produces nearly 3,000,000 grains, all coming from one original seed. A single seed of an Asiatic pemperion planted oa Trevesy gfounds, - Berlin, propagated a vine as large as a man's body, which in nine weeks grew to a total length of nearly 300 feet and ripened more than 800,000 seedsi.- A single plant cf Turkey corn bears 3000 seeds; the sunflower,. 4000; the poppy, J2.000. ana tobacco, 70,330 Louis iltfpublio.

May God spare your life many years jet that you may hear the great good that your medicine is doing. On the 30th day of August. lS'.H, Mr. Frank Law son your druggist at Spencer persuaded me to take a bottle on trial.

Two years ago last Septemt er I was taken with pain almost all over me, my head and back, my legs and feet tiecanie cold, would get sick at ray stomach and vomit often, suf lering a great deal from chills an.1 at times these were so severe that I thought I would freeze to death. My whole constitution was run down and I fe t bad all over, 'l'he con dition of my urine was not so bad through the day, tut during the night, at times, J bad to net up every hour, and often every halt hour. I suffered terribly from burning anJ scald ing sensation. Would urinate sometimes a gallon a night; then it ttvuied my kidneys and l a k woul t kill me. 1 ha I be.-n trouble t with constijwtioii for many years, but since using your Swamp-Root have been better than for a long time.
