Tdephonc 14:{(>. - An English scientist who lately des- j canted upon the medical value of lem- j ons has inspired several others to point out the virtues of the onion, which is in high favor with many per- | sons. It is with the onion as with the lemon its devotees regard it as a panacea for a good, many ills and as a 1 preventive of many of the disorders to ' which flesh is heir. Appealing to chem- j istry, we find the onion is really a very i ordinary vegetable, but there is one point which distinguishes it, and that is the somewhat high percentage of sulphur It contains. Possibly the virtues ascribed to it ; depend on the presence of this ele-, ment. Like the lemon, the onion may | also lay claim to antiscorbutic proper- j ties—that is, to qualities which render it a preventive of scurvy. Its mineral constituents include a proportion of , potash salts, and probably its antiseor- j butic qualities depend upon these lat- I ter compounds. Contagion In the Schoolroom. Common means of contagion are these: Kissing, exchanging handker chiefs, ribbon, chewing gum, whistles, j slate and lead pencils, which are al- j most always, consciously or uncon- j sciouslv, carried to tlie mouth. Coins also are treated in the same way. j Drinking cups, by their common use, 1 often spread diseases. Schoolbooks are ready carriers of contagion. Then also may be mentioned the dangers from overcrowding the schoolrooms, which h ads to the breathing of impure , air and the dissemination of germs. Wraps which are not absolutely need-1 ed often hang where they dry and are j aind in the schoolroom. Would Have I* Kut It!«teet<«. M.

Vegetarians particularly will be in- 1 terested in a "vegetable substitute for meat" which lias been newly patented, says the Philadelphia Saturday Even ins Post. The mere fact that it is <je. lared by the inventor to have the flavor and nutritive properties of meat while actually of purely vege table ingredients, would amount to lit tle were it not that the chemistry sec tion of the patent olliee has indorsed the claim as truthful. As a matter of feet, the compound appears to contain protein and other elements utilizable In the body for making flesh and blood and for fuel in about the same propor tions as in beef or mutton.

George YVray, a Pittsburg motorman, has patented a car fender which, he asserts, will make it impossible for a person struck by the forward end of a car to be carried under the wheels. lie also says that his device will pick up any object four inches above the level of the rail, and that therefore it would be Impossible for a car equipped with it to pass over even a child lying prone ou the track. Wood Too lliirri to ilorn. There are c« rtuin kinds of wood that are too hard to burn, or refuse to ignite for some other reason, such as iron wood and the good brier root, but it is a curiosity to come across a piece of common deal-the soft, light wood of j which so many boxes are made—that: cannot be set fire to. The piece of wood in question was common white deal from Sweden, but was remarkable for its comparative weight. It had formed part of a boat belonging to a whaler and had been dragged below the surface of the wa ter to the depili of more than half a mile by a harpooned whale. The length of line and the short distance from the point of descent after being struck at which tlie whale rose to the surface was a proof of the depth to which it had dragged the boat. Only part of the boat came up again at the end of tie- line, and it was taken on board when the whale had been killed. That piece of wood was so hard that it would not burn in a gas Jet. The weight of water had com pressed it.—London Standard. Birds* Sorin». A French writer, Henri Coupon, says that, notwithstanding the fact of their simplicity, the songs of birds cannot be imitated with musical instruments be cause of the impossibility of reproduc ing their peculiar timbre. The notes of birds, while corresponding with our musical scale, al o include vibrations occupying the intervals between our notes. The duration of birds' songs is usually very short, two or three sec onds for thrushes and chaffinches, four or five seconds for blackbirds, but from TH WIDOW TAX. la Mif ' o a W ifc'» Death Tout* tin a er One Hundred I'luttn Becoming a widow or a widower is a much more serious business than get ting married among some of the tribes in the Philippines. In Mindanao "mar- j ry.ng in basie" often leads to a pro long! d "repenting at leisure," for they have an institution there known as the "widow ta\ "cbabaloan" the natives call it. I'pou the death of the wife the widower must pay a certain sum of money or its equivalent in goods to his father-in-law before he can go a-eourt- j ing again. As money is a scarce article among these natives, the tax generally j j ts paid in plates of common "stone chi- j na," which are much used by the na- : tives as a medium of exchange. It is considered ihe proper thing for the be reaved one to pay 100 of these plates to ; his father-in-law for permission to look j about him for a successor to the de ceased helpmate. If the husband dies, the widow at once becomes the property of her par ents-in law and so remains for life un less some relative comes forward and produces the necessary number of din ner plates. The natural result of this is that married people are all extreme ly solicitous for the health of eech oth er. In sickness the Invalid is sedulous ly attended by the partner of his or her joys and sorrows, the well person perhaps being moved more by the | thought of those hundred plates than | by real affection. Divorce is unknown among these peo : pie, but a man may have as many i wives as he pleases. It will be seen I that in case of an epidemic which i would sweep away his wives a married [ man would be in dire extremity. In the case of a death of a much married ! man his parents come into a small for tune, for they either have enough slaves to render future work on their j part unnecessary or they receive enough plates from the families of the widows to set up a crockery store. DWARFING AN OAK TREE. The Japanese Trleic by Which It Is A ceo in pi I nil ed. Tho Chabo Hiba, a dwarf Japanese pine tree, was recently sold for $1,200. It is six feet high and alleged to be 850 years old. It has long been supposed that the process by which Japanese gardeners succeeded in dwarfing forest trees was a long and costly one. It Is now said that It Is a simple process and that any one can do the trick. The fol [ lowing directions are given for produc ing a miniature oak tree: Take an orange and scoop out the pulp. Fill the Interior with a rich mold and plant an acorn in the center of it, leaving the hole in the rind for It to sprout through. Put It in a sunny place ! and water It frequently. Soon after the first shoots have appeared the roots begin to break through the orange skin. Take a sharp knife and shave these off carefully and keep them shaved. The tree will grow about five or six inches high and then stop. In a year It will be a perfect miniature oak. When the roots cease to grow, the orange skin should be varnished over and imbed i ded in a flowerpot. The Japanese dwarf all kinds of trees and make them live to a great age. Some of these dwarfs, like the Chabo 1 Hiba, are well known, and their own ers have documentary evidence attest ing their great age. The older they are the more valuable, of course, they are. In Japan certain families follow the calling, trade, art, or what you will, of growing dwarf trees from genera i tion to generation, and you can buy a miniature oak 500 years old from a de ; scendant of the man who first planted I the acorn. Not only forest trees, but i | fruit trees and flowering shrubs, are dwarfed by these clever gardeners. The Clilneb fins'. The Ohio experiment station is re ceiving letters indicating an extensive outbreak of chinch bugs in certain parts of the state. The following rem edy, the formula of Professor Forbes of Illinois, Is therefore offered: "Dissolve one-half pound hard or soft soap in one gallon of water and heat to the boiling point. Remove from the stove and add two gallons of coal oil, churning the mixture with a good force pump for 15 minutes. When the emul j slon is formed, it will look like butter . milk. "To each quart of this emulsion add 15 quarts of water and apply to the ; corn in a spray, preferably before 10 j a. m. or after U p. m. The bugs should ' be washed off so that they will float in I the emulsion at the base of the plant. ; A teacupful to a hill is generally surf!- : cient, but the quantity must vary with 1 the number of bugs infesting the corn." i The progress of these bugs through ! a field may be obstructed by making a j shallow, V shaped trench with the cor ner of a hoe and filling it with coal tar, the tar to be renewed in two or three days. They may also be destroyed by ' plowing tliem under and harrowing and rolling. AKrlenltural Brevities. Eggplant is one of the most delicious vegetables known. Gather the plants before they become seedy. Tan bark is a splendid thing to put In the apiary to keep the grass and weeds from growing up in front of the hives to bother the bees. Nothing but the very earliest tobacco grown on light soil and especially v treated for that purpose will produce anything desirable in domestic spotted tobacco, says a New England Home stead correspondent. From now till frost the battle with weeds should not cease. hi spraying potatoes with bordeaux i i for fungous disease two or three spray ings are generally made at varyir# jfltrn between July 1 and Sept. 1. Sohliik Graaa Seed. There are many who think they can get better crops of grass by sowing the seed in August or early in September without grain than in any other way. We think this is correct when the land j has been well prepared and the season Is favorable. The one drawback is the chance of a fall drought, which will not allow the seed to germinate or burns out the tender shoots as they ! come up. Yet there is scarcely one year in ten when this will happen if the land is well worked and the seed quick- j ly follows after the stirring of the soil. And one may take bis chance almost at any time from July to Sept. b"> to ob tain good weather. We seldom have six weeks of weather in succession tin fit to sow the grass seed.—Boston Cul tivator. Tlie Time to Cnt Timber. A good time. If not the best, to cut timber or fell trees Is In midsummer, when the leaves are full grown. If the trees are cut from the Ist of June to the Ist of September and left two or three weeks until the green leaves are dried before cutting or splitting, the leaves will draw the sap from the body of the tree and thus quickly season the wood and prcv t:t sap rot and worms. The Ist of An; si is oue of the best times to deaden trees, says Field and BST AN DISEASES. ruiiuiiiin Trnnlilen nnd Remedies. I'oiutK of ISeun Growing:. Even the humble garden beans are not exempt from fungous enemies which have so asserted themselves as to become troublesome to tUV growers of this useful vegetable. Since 1894 the New Jersey station has been study ing diseases of truck crops and beans , have received a full share of attention. In bulletin 151 seven fungous diseases of 1 >eaus are considered, namely: 1. The anthraeiiose or pod spot. —. i The bean bacteriosis. The lima bean mildew. The lima bean pod blight. I 5. The bean rust. 0. The beau leaf spot. 7. The bean leaf blotch. All of these were met with in the field studies of the diseases, but the i tirst three, being the most common and ! serious enemies, have been the subjects for special treatment. The bean seed is often infested with the anthraeiiose and becomes thereby u.lf r I I t! ANTHRACSOSED BEAK PODS, a prominent, if not the chief, means of ■ tiding over the inactive or winter sea son. The same is doubtless true with i bacteriosis. It has been shown that soaking the seed in fungicides, while destructive to the fungus, is not always without ill effect upon the seed itself. Experi ments differ upon this point, and fur ther investigations are here needed. There is only one opinion as to the desirability of discarding all diseased seed before planting and using only that which is mature and healthy. This Is strongly urged. It has been demonstrated through seven consecutive years of beans upon the same land, two crops each season, that the anthraenose is checked by fungicides. The same is true of the bacteriosis. The bordeaux mixture has proved of substantial value as a rem edy for bean mildew. While the experimental sprayings have been at intervals of ten days, it is not recommended that they be more than three in number for the ordinary wax sorts. For pole varieties or any that require the whole season spray ings once in three weeks would per naps tie most prontauie, ami ,\t-i mc distribution of the drenching rains should determine the times of the ap plications. It was shown that old spotted pods when used as mulch greatly increased the disease upon the area thus covered. All such refuse, whether of pods or stems ami leaves, should be burned. A rotation of crops is desirable from the standpoint of freedom from dis ease, but It has been demonstrated that with frequent spraying beans may be grown with profit indefinitely upon the same land. The leading points in bean growing are: First, to have strong, healthy seed of the least susceptible growing; sec ond. planted not too close or deep; third, In rich, well drained soil, and fourth, spray with bordeaux or its equal, soda bordeaux, at three week lotervals. To this Is added the not les» \4 \\ W\ W\ r\v\ r\V fe\ \ *\\c \ I A \ m\ *ti\ EM m \ ))} *4 j* i^j I'ODS WITH BACTEKIOSIS.

Masts were placed below the fall to insure accurate measurements. It la stated that a lisii can leap to the height of twenty feet. When a fish failed to clear the fall at one bound, it remained In the falling water and then, with a rapid twist of the body, gave a spring and was successful. A limit (lie Limit.

FOLLOWED THE LEADER. A Case Where Xaval Cadet* Turned Discipline Into u Joke. Among other good stories told by Cyrus Townsend Ilrady in his "Fnder Tops'ls arul Tents," published by Scrib ners, Is this: It. is related that a large number of naval cadets were negligent in follow ing the service in the chapel, which was after the ritual of the Episcopal church. An incautious officer In charge on Sunday morning made :i little ad dress to the church party on the sub ject, saying he supposed that some of them erred through ignorance, but if they would observe him carefully and do as he did—in military parlance, fol low the motions of the commanding of licer—they would not go wrong. Word was passed quietly through the ■ battalion. They marched into the church. The officer in charge took his place In the front pew, settled himself in his seat and calmly blew his nose. Three hundred noses were blown si multaneously with a vehemence that was startling. The officer looked around and blushed violently in great surprise. Three hundred heads "followed the mo tions of the commanding officer." Six huudred cheeks \ iolently tried to blush, a hard thing to for a midshipman to do, and so on through the service. The man could not stir without in stant imitation. He finally confined himself strictly to the prescribed rlt- J unl of the service, looking neither to the right nor to the left, not daring to raise a linger or breathe out of the or dinary course Tills enterprise also was a startling success. The cadets received other instructions later in the day from a furious officer who sternly resented their innocent statements that they did not know which was ritual and which was not and that he had not instructed them that blowing his nose stood < 'ti a differ ent plane from saying his prayers. 1» was a huge joke everywhere. BEE AND HIVE. If the hive rests on the ground, it will be too damp. It will pay to use foundations by fill ing all frames full. Set the hive a little above the ground to admit of a circulation of air. From 'J o'clock a. m.to 3 o'clock p. m. includes the hours of successful operat ing with bees. Procure new blood in the apiary. In breeding is as objectionable with bees as with live stock. It is necessary to unite all weak col onies that will be unable to build up into strong stocks. Care should be taken to save all young brood and the brood combs of those containing brood. On account of it being the only ma terial that can be depended upon to stay pine is the best material for hives. , Combs should not be left in empty hives about the apiary. That Is the 1 worst place they can be left, as moths I are always to be found near the bees und are sure to infest the combs. One advantage in closed end frames is that a hive lull of combs may be handled a> though it were a single piece instead of a collection of loose pieces, thus saving work, worry and time. If the bees cannot conveniently enter the hives during the sudden changes of cool weather, quite a number will be lost; hence care should be taken to have the entrances arranged so that the bees can enter readily. Silence You Can See. There is no such thing as silence In this woTld. It is an impossibility. That Is partly the reason why science has en abled US to see it. The explanation of the paradox is this: Silence, as wo understand it, sim ply means that there are sounds too delicate or too loud for the ear to regis ter. lu other words, when we can't hear anything we call that condition "silence." But wherever you are there are sounds around you. Even in the deepest mine the air vibrates and | makes a sound An Instrument lias been invented that will catch these ! -ounds and permit of the vibrations be- ! represented pictorially on a screen, j •ml lu that way you may see silence and properly understand what it means. By comparing the pictures of noises | with those of that condition of things known as silence we gain an Idea of the difference between a noisy night, for instance, and one when "absolute si leiiee reigns," as the novelist puis it. It Is ntl her surprising to find so much dis turbance at the time when everything appears to be perfectly quiet.—Pear son's Weekly The total number of timber raffs on nil the rivers of European Itussia is ■aid to be more than 80,000 yearly, with a total of sou<», 25,000,000 logs. GRAIN SHRINKAGE. What Wheat. Corn and Oats I.oi« by Storage—Tlie Corncob. Wheat fluctuates in weight according to the dryness of the air. The extent of this variation under ordinary condi tions does not exceed G per cent, but where the grain is taken from an in tensely dry climate to a comparatively damp one the gain may amount to 25 per cent. Oats stored in the fall lost in one instance over 3 per cent by the follow ing May, less than 2 per cent in the sec ond instance and exactly 2 per cent In the third and iu a fourth lost but seven pounds in 100 bushels. Corn, when the entire plant is stored iu the silo, suffers a very considerable ; loss in weight. As an average of four tests this loss amounted to 8.32 per cent. In other cases the loss varied from 14 ."7 to 20.30 per cent. When the entire plant is cured in the Cold, subsequent variations in weight are determined by the dryness of the air. At the Connecticut station, where 27.3'1 tons of corn were cut Sept. 1 into shocks, hauled to the barn later and stored for fodder, the gross weight was but 4.8 tons. On Feb. 8 following the weight was 7.." tons. In a duplicate test 25.5 tons of green corn weighed but 5.2 tons on Nov. 11 and gained to 8.5 tons by Feb. 8. 1 When the corn is husked In the Geld, the loss of weight suffered by the ears depends on their condition when hauled to the crib. Very damp corn cribbed early iu October shrunk iu weight 30 ner cent by the middle of February, while dry corn cribbed Oct. 21 had shrunk by the last of January 11 per cent. In another case corn very dry when hauled shrunk by New Year's less than 3 per cent. At the lowa sta tion the loss in an entire year was 2U per cent in one case and t) per cent in l another. The relation between the weights of kernels and cob does not stay constant as the ears dry. When first husked, 1 fully 25 per cent of the weight of the ears lies in the cob. By spring less than 20 per cent of the weight of the ear is i in the cob. An elaborate set of experi ments at Houghton farm showed that the shelled corn lost in weight but about 7.43 per cent from October to ! March, while the cobs lost fully 30 pet cent.—lX C. Smith, Michigan Station. FLOWER AND TREE. A few pieces of charcoal dropped into ] the water assist in preserving cut flow ers. The hole for a tree should be made wide and deep and the bottom be tilled with rich earth. The seeds of nearly all forest trees do best if not allowed to become dry before planting. For the finest flowers sow pansy seed in the fall. Protect the young plants through the winter, and you will be well rewarded. The sweet willlain is a biennial, but will sow their own seeds and come up year after year, as do hollyhocks, thus making them practically perennials. One of the handsome perennials that flower in July is the digitalis, which has long spikes of blue thimble shaped flowers. It makes a striking clump. The principal advantage in fall sow ing of flower seeds is that the plants grow stronger, root deeper and flower earlier and longer than those from spring sown seed. The grape is one of the most deslra- j ble fruits to plant. It is inexpensive to get a start with, it bears early, it is productive and easily managed, and the fruit is delicious and wholesome. Cou Id n't Stand Satire. A burglar, while attempting to rob a bloated bondholder of Maryville, by mistake got into the humble residence of an editor next door. After unsuc cessfully fumbling about for suitable ai-sets for some time he was disgusted to observe the tenant of the house sit ting up in bed and laughing at him. ( "Ain't you old Skindersen, the capi- j j talistV" inquired the housebreaker. ' ".Vary time." chuckled the journalist. ! "I'm the editor of The Screaming j Eagle."
