tained from the inner bark of three
different kinds of plants. Ono is tho
Vickstrotnia caneseeus, another the
Edworthin papyrifera. Tho bark ot
these plants is remarkable for the
length and strength of its fibers.
The Japanese immerse it in a cur
rent ot water for several days. Thon
they bind it in small bundles and
bleach it in the sun. Next, they boil
it in kettles, after which they beat it
with sticks inti a tibrous mass and
drain it on nets of bamboo. Finally
they put tho stuff in a vat with an ex
tract of rice for a sizing to give it a
glutinous quality.
Having thus obtained a material for
paper, the Japanese follow tho familiar
processes, but in a primitive way. As
result, they get sheets of subttance
which may bo utilized for all sorts of
purposes.

The spectacle of a gang of convictj

VAM'S OK BYE STRAW.
Uyo straw is thought to be better
than wheat straw for feeding to horses,
when it is cut and wetted and meal is
mixed with it. It is an economical
feed aud quite useful in tho present
scarcity of hay. Straw may be put
into a barn in alternate layers with
grsen clover with advantage to both,
thns making excellent fodder.
APVK'K TO IIOKsB OWNER.
Never tie a horse with the halter
shank in his mouth ; if you do, the ani
mal is almost sure to pull back until
he breaks his jaw or tho halter, or cuts
his tongue oft'.
Never increaso tho feed of a horse,
mule, or ox for an extra day's work or
a long drive. It is a common mis
take, Rud kills many an animal.
Never allow your horse's lampas to
be burned. If treatment is necessary
for congested gmus, scarify them.

OTUEOTIONS TO COLORF.D BUTTE R.
It is sometimes objected that the nse
of butter color is a deception, and
therefore objectionable on moral
grounds. The answer to this is that
butter is never colored to make it re
semble anything that it is not. The
artificial coloring does not as before
stated, change its flavor. It simply
gives it what the geueral market pro
nounces a more attractive appearance,
and is used for the same pnrposo thai
a mauulacturcr bleaches or dyes cot
ton goods. Markets vary in their do
mnnds in this respect. Some require
a very pronounced yellow, others n
pule straw color ; but, whatever the
color, it is butter and only butter.
The objection to tho use of color, on
the theory that it is an adulterant,
would apply with equal force to tho
ue of salt. Both are foreign sub
stances. Hoard's Dairyman.

it Mr. A. W. Sutton of the great
seed establishment at Beading has ,
lately described in the Journal of the
Boyal Horticultural Society a number
of interesting experiments made with
tomato and potato plant?, these two
being botanieally related to one an
other. A potato tnber was planted,
and when it had attained the height
of a few inches above tho Boil, the
stem was cut off and a tomato graft
was connected to it. As a result, the
oomposite plant produced m crop of
potatoes at the roots, while the foliage
above ground bote a crop of tomatoes,
nourished by the potato roots. The
process was then reversed, a potato
graft being introduced upon tomato
stalks. The tomato roots did not pro
duce potatoes, but the potato plant
above grouud lirst threw out potato
flowers and berries, and afterward
produced tubers from the axils of the
leases and stems. Iu this case the
designation of the potato as a ponime
le terre is evidently a misnomer.

TItB TASSEb OP CORN.
The flower of the com plant is di
vided into two portions, the tassel or
male section, which furnishes the pol
len, and the silk, which is the female
portion of the flower, which receives
it. Each thread of silk carries some
of the pollen to the ear, and there a
grain of corn is formed. The profu
sion of silk is so great that the grains
it corn are compacted on the ear as
closely as possible. When this is not
the fact it is more likely due to the
drying up of the tassel, no that not
enough pollen is formed to fertilize
nil the silk. If there is either a very
:lry or very wet time when the tassel
should be distributing pollen, those
defective ears will bo plenty. neavy
rains iu one case wash the pollen off,
nd the dry weather causes the tassel
to shrivel and become worthless. Tho
blossoming is exhaustive. If the sea
tou it just right one-quarter of the
tassols produced would make a full
crop of well-developed ears. But as
in every crop there are more or less
defective ears, it is unsafe to cut them
out. The suckers usually tassel later,
aud for this reason they often increase
the corn crop on tho maiu stalk after
tho earlier tassels have dried up.

TORACCO Dl'ST FOR BCOS.
A reader asks me whether tobacoo
dust should be applied to vines when
tluy are wet with dew or when they
are dry. This moves me to say that
the tobacco dust, or the bone meat, or
the mixture of both, is not intended
as a coaling for the leaves, which
would make thein poisonous or uu-
pulittatilo, but as a covering for the
soil, that will luuko the atmosphere
very uucomfortuble foi all iuseoU and
worms. 1 like to have the material
remain dry aud dusty m long as possi
ble. Iu that case it has a more thor
ough effect on bugs and beetles that
have hard shells. Tho wet tobacoo
or tobacco tea, or even tho fumes of
wet tobacco, ure very unwholesome to
the soft bodied insects, worms, etc. I
iiud thut cucumber beetles do not like
to work iu dust, an 1 least of all iu to
bacco dust. When I put this latter
inch deep around nn-lon or cucumber
plants, tho ycllow-btriuud beetle
promptly takes its departure, au.l will
btuy awnv as long as it gives oil a
siroiig tobacco smell.
Lot u.o repeat, t jo, that this sauia
watu material is one of our best and
cluapest general iuscctiJea. We can
use it both under gl:i-.s and in opeu
air. By all means keep a good supply

iaot you for jcuu aud help you to
keep tho premises elosr of the various
pests that prey upon yonr crops and
animals. If yon scatter tobacco dust
by hand or with bellows over your
rows of peas, just at nightfall, you can
kill the sings that aro so often eating
all the lower foliage off and greatly
damage the crop. Or if you dust it
in the same way over your currant aud
gooseberry bushes when infested with
worms you will qniokly see the worms
disappear. In the same way you can
quickly kill nil the loaf-eating worms
and slugs on your trees and bushel
everywhere. The tent caterpillar and
the fall wobworui, and all other cater
pillars on trees and plants, give up
the ghost within a few minutes after
coming iu contact with tobaoco dust.
And besides all this, tobacco dust is
worth about what it oosts as a fertil
izer. We can also coutrol in a meas
ure at least the most unmanageable
pests of our gardens, Datuely, the flon
bectlo and tho cabbage maggot. But
in order to make thorough work rid
ding the plants of these pests, we
have to bo very liberal in the use ol
tho tobaoco dust. For instanoe, il
we throw a good, big haudful into the
heart of the cabbage plant or oauli
flower plant, or on a choioe soeding
potato, we may be quite sure that the

Blue Laws la Philadelphia.
Policemen stationed at every cross
street within a block of St. Baruabas's
Protestant Episcopal Church iu Phil
adelphia recently attracted consider
able attention. They were stationed
there to prevent milk wagons from
passing the church during services,
and their preseuoo was the result of a
request made to Director Iliter by
Pastor James It. L. Nisbitt. It was
found that a law of 1791 prohibits
milkmen from distributing milk on
Sundays between the hours of 9 a. m.
aud S p. m., and it was this law that
was enforced.
For some time past the congregation
of St.Burnabas's have been greatly an
noyed by the noise of passing vehioles
luring church hours, especially when
the weather is warm enough to have
tho windows open. The streets at
this point are badly paved, both Ori-
ana and Dauphin streets still being
encumbered with cobblestones of
unique pattern, and the-noise made
by passiug vehioles is very great. The
law of llJl will be enforced strictly
during the summer mouths, Phil

60FT SHl'.LL CRABS.
"There is no danger of eating soft
shelled crabs," observed an epiouro,
"if they aro fresh, but they aie poison
if they are not. They should bo well
seasoned, and an extra lot of popper
pti t on them as a precaution, especially
if the weather is, .very -hot when they
are ea.teu; or if they are eaten shortly
before one retires. It is the habit of
many persons to eat soft shelled erabs
at night time. I do not know but
that they taste bettor then. It is
somewhat dangerous to many to drink
milk after eating crabs. Milk seems
to develop the colio that follows eat
ing soft shelled crabs with some per
sons. "Another thing that should be re
membered, and that is a sharp thunder
storm will kill soft-shell crabs, and
even the hard-shelled crab at times.
Unless tho soft-shelled crab has been
oooked before the thunder Btorm, I
think the safer plan would be to de
cline to eat H. Under all other con
ditions there is no danger in partak
ing of them, for I do not think any
one would be oriminal enough to cook
a dead crab, hard or soft Bhell. Tho
proper way to kill a crab is to throw
him into a kettlo of boiling water. I
know that some people thiuk this is
cruel, but it is no more cruel thau it is
to stab them with a needle or kill them
with chloroform, as I have known
tome extra sensitive persons to do,"

"When children shall havo been taught aud

V J Our I's are just as strong as tlicy were fifty years ago,
f hcn we have cause to use them. I!ut we have less and f,J
V' less cause to praise ourselves, since others do the puising, ;
( and we are more than willing for you to see us through f oi)

f " J si'e and retail druggist, Duluth, Minn., who after a quarter fj
y-X of a century of observation writes: A
Q J " I have sold Ayer's Sarsaparilla for more than 95 years, V.
C lioth at wholesale and retail, and have never heard any- fh
k 'J thing but words of praise from my customers ; not a siiiRlo V y
f'; complaint has ever reached me. I believe Ayer's Sar- A
v' 6.iparilU to be the best blood purifier that has been intro- yS
( duced to the general public." This, from a man who has f J
( ' sold thousands of dozens of Ayer's Sarsaparilla, is strong ,
testimony. But it only echoes popular sentiment the world
over, which has " Nothing but words of praise for ,

Tho word whoa I used in calling on
a horse to stop is merely a variant
and emphatic form of hoi formerly
used in the same sense. This is easily
proved; for Chancer has ho in the
sense of "halt," ("Cant. Talcs," 1)
3!)57.) When King Edward IV. had
to use this exclamation, he sotnally
turned it into whool "Then the
kyng peropyvyng the cruel assaile,

A Homemade Wairnn,
"Talking about pluck and inventive
ponius," snid U. K. Hooper, of Hat
eifih, N. C, at the National, "reminds
mo of a youtiK fellow who settled near
Tarboroin my State. Ho did not havo
s dollar when he went to the county.
Ho triod to obtain a position as school
toachcr, but failed. BomethinR had
to bo done, and lio reuted a small
fsrm, and then borrowed a plow, ob
tained orodit for a yoke of oxen, but
oould not get a wa'on. This ha mado,
and it was tho most remarkable tehi
olo ever in North Carolina. He sawed
down a largo tree, four tlisks oflf tho
larger oud made the wheels, tho log
split in two formed tho bod, and tho
cross bars aud tongue ho made from
the boughs of the treo. With an axo
an da wedge, his only tools, he con
structed tho wagon, nud it was not
long before ho owned his farm. The
wagon is still good ; it will outwoar
any of thoso manufactured by wagon
wagon makers, for tho rough moun
tain country."
Died From a Hen's reck.
While buying somo poultry Bernard
Mataian, of Oakluud, Cal., was at
tacked by a hen, which pecked him on
tho IibuiI, punctnriug tho skin. Tho
next day the hand begau to swoll, and
in a few days Matarau died from blood
poisoning.
It is rumored that tho cost of tho
banquet at which tho Houorable Ar
tillery Company of Huston entertained
tho I'rinco of Wales and tlvo hundred
other guests in Loudon the other
night was $70,000.
