It does not enter : into the sap circulation of the tree; it has no effect upon the tree beyond the parts attacked ; it never extends through the organs or sap of the tree j ironi the effected parts to other por -1 tions ot the tree, but develops only j by the extension of the local eftection ; I the microbes work in the inner bark j only, nnd they continue to work until I sometimes large areas are involved, but they do not pass from one part of I the tree to another except by pushing [ out through the inner-bark from the I point of first attack; the injury lie 3 ! in the destruction of this inner bark. 1 1 bus, by cutting off beyond the lino I of effection the effected part, that particular attack is forever gotten rid of. In handling blight intelligently ' the above facts as to the nature of the | disease should be kept in mind, and also the further fact, that the disease outers the tree only through tender growth and blossom". The greatest danger lies in the disease getting in upon aud destroying the trunk or main branches ; this can be prevented by ket ping them free from new 1 • growth and small branches. By keep - ! ing the trunk and main branches free from new growth by cutting off all small laterals, twigs and spurs, the at tacks will be confined to the terminal branches, and can be kept in check by removing those affected. The most effective method known for pre v mting the spread of blight is cutting off and destroying the affected parts j .is soon assigns of blight appear.—G. I L. Tuber, in Texas Fruitmun. THE FARMER'S WOODPILE. The farm wood lot has not yet ful ! filled the prophecy of twenty-five yeart- ago and vanished in favor of j coal, says A. C. Glidden, in the De -1 1 roit Journal. While young, growing should be carefully preserved, the | mistake should not be made of keep ing older trees after they have raa i tared. A tree that has begun to decay : neve r gives out the sparkling, glowim? • j iioat that sound timber shows. If 1 there are more such trees in the wood lot than farm necessities require, they 1 should be disposed of in some way. Of 1 course, the good farmer prepares his 1 j wood a long time in advance of use. Ihe idea that greenwood will soon dry i out when exposed to winter air is not j correct. Mr. Glidden once thus ex • posed twenty pounds of green oak ! wood twenty days, aud found it had j lost only one pound or five per cent. 1 i u weight. Placed in an oven and ' dried slowly until thoroughly sea soned, it lost five pounds or twenty- ; i five per cent, of its green weight. At the outdoor rate it would have taken nearly three months to season. The 1 t oerimont was with sixteen-inch body wood, a i d if the figures are correct, a cord of such wood will weigh 1150 pounds green, and 1140 pounds dry. IV> prepare wood properly for the kitcbep range, the sticks, whatever the size, should be as nearly square as possible. A fiat stick is an abomina tion. If not more than an inch thick, split it again to make it square. Wood splits better when it is green, and the job better done where the tree falls, leaving bark and litter whero it will lo most good. Slab the log straight across, to thickness of sticks. Quar tered blocks will give many three-sided and flat sticks. TO MAKE CLOVER CATCH AND Gr.OW. | Everywhere are heard complaints of ' the difficulty of securing a good catch I uf elov ir, and the trouble seems to in crease from year to year. One expla | nation of this is ihat the humus is 1 grudualiy being exhausted from the soil of mauy farms; and without humus or some other material to start the young plants, they perish as soon as they germinate. This is illustrated ou some ground now under observa tion. It had being cropped for a long time, until the humus was nearly all gone. One portion of the field would not grow anything of value. Last spring the whole field being in wheat was sown to clover. The weather proved unfavorable, and there was no catch at all except on the very poor area where the wheat had been top j dressed with well-rotted stable manure. I There the catch was all that could be | desired. After the wheat had been re- I moved, a very thin dressing of manure 1 was spread over the whole field, and a of rain coming, clover seed was again sown and became established before winter; but it would not have lived had it not been for the manure on the surface of the ground. This result has now followed so fre quently in our hands that we feel sure that on thin lands the place to apply manure is on the surface, there to re main and not to be plowed under. Applied iu this manner and mixed through the soil with a cultivator, it will cause a heavy staud of wheat on thin soil, and the wheat will be fol lowed bv a good catch of clover. To secure this result it is not necessary to make a heavy application of ma nure, but a very thin application will answer. The cl over plant thrives on lime. If thirty bushels of lime be applied per acre it is almost sure to improve the clover crops for a number of years. If lime cannot be obtained, three or four bushels of land plaster, sown on the field il the spring when the clover is just sturting, will be followed by most gratifying results. Lime and plaster should always bo placed on top the ( ground and not plowed under. They will work down soon enough. It is said that Dr. Benjamin Franklin intro duced the use of plastor on clover by sowing it in a field on the principal road leading into Philadelphia. It was scattered so ns to form the words "This is Plaster." The growth of the clover was so luxuriant, that all who passed along the road read the words in the plants overtopping all in their neighborhood. Clover is benefited by being mowed or topped after it has made a fair growth, say about the middle of Au gust. The tops fall down about the roots and form a mulch aud decaying, produce just what the plant needs to force a greater growth. The ragweeds which are such a nuisance in stubble fields are in this way gotten rid of and at once put to a good use, mulching ; aud fertilizing the ground about the i clover. Clover ofteu fails because not enough seed is sown. Now, if the soil is full of humus and quite fertile, three or four quarts to the aoro will answer; but if the soil is thin and the humus is deficient then larger and larger quantities will bo needed, six, oight and even ten quarts to the acre. There is no use at all in sowing thinly | of this seed ou poor soil. The proper time to sow is also an important element in securing a good catch. Some prefer very early seed ing, others to wait until the weather lias become settled. It must bo said that when the soil is unfavorable, the chances are most in favor of the early sowing. Some sow on light snows in March, trusting as the snow melts the seeds will with it enter the ground. Others sow when the soil is opened 1 and porous from frost. Others when rain is promised, this carrying the seed into the soil. If tho ground has become hard and dry, there is no use sowing clever seed aud expecting it to catch. Such ground must bo opened up with a harrow, when the seed may bo sown with hope of success. An ordinary spike harrow may bo run over fields of wheat iu tho spring with out doing any material damage to the grain plants. Clover should always be sown with some other crop iu order to furnish shade to tho young plants; if they cannot endure the hot sun until estab lished.— C. C. Groff, in New York In dependent. Lost to Science* It is a misfortune of ardent scien tists that their most cherished acqui sitions are without special value in tho eyes of those to whom utility is of tho first consideration. An annoying ex perience befell Professor Agassiz dur ing his expedition into tho interior of Brazil in behalf of tho Harvard Scien tific School. A tank ol water stood in tho dining tent, wherein rare and curious fish were placed for the professor's leisurely examination. Among these one day was an uncommon specimen, somewhat like our pike or jackfish. It was a foot long and its mouth was armed with rows of sharp teeth. The professor, very near sighted, was bending close down to examine this, when suddenly tho fish struck up and seized him firmly by the nose. Hero was a demonstration of its un usual characteristic. The fish was a treasure. It was now doubly valuable as a museum specimen. The profossor was in ecstacy. In tho midst of the next meal ho was displaying his scars, proud as a German ctadent, and noth ing would do but that ho must show us the teeth of the fish ; but tho fish was gone. "You have just eaten him, sir," the cook exclaimed.' The professor's disappointment was too apparent. He might possibly secure another specimen, but hardly one which would leap out of the tank to seize him by tho nose, evon if ho oared to venture tho experiment.— Picayune. A Curious Wooden Watch* The most curious timekeeper, per haps, that has ever been made iu this country was the work of one Victor Doriot, who lived at Bristol, Tenn., about twenty years ago. This oddity was nothing more nor less than a wooden watch. The case was made of briar root and tho inside works, ex cept three of the main wheels and the ■prings (which were cf metal) were made from a piece of an old boxwood rule. Tho face, which was polished until it looked like a slab of finest ivory, was made from the shoulder blade of an old cow that had been killod by the cars. "Doriot's queer watch," as it was called, was an open faced affair, with a glass crystal and was pronounced a fine piece of work by all tho watchmakers iu East Tennessee. , Menclik'g Panorama. King Menklik of Abyssinia a few weeks ago was reported to have or dered from a Russian painter a battle picture representing the defeat of the Italians. Now ho has commissioned the artist Schleising, of Meiningen to paint a great panorama, to be put in a building to be erected for tho pur pose. Seven at v Dr. Dietrich Barfuth, of Dopat, Germany, reports the occurrence hear there of seven children at one birth. Only one case of the kind is reported, which took place about the year IGOO.

For the purpose of converting or dinary matches into fuses rings raado of the ordinary fuse composition with out the fulminate are slippod over the end of the head. The accuracy in some parts of tho locomotive is ten times finer than in tho watch; but for absolute measure ment the accuracy in the watch is al most threo times as line as in the loco motive. The greyhound 6eems to have been developed in level, treeless and shrub less countries, where a moving object is visible nt a long distance, nod great speed is, therefore, necessary to enable a predaceous animal to overtake its prey.

The quantity of boggy matter dislodged is estimated at 10,000,000 cubio yards. Scarlet seems the color most con spicuous in bright sunshine, and scarlet flowers are commonest in dry and sunny climates, where their color gives them an advantage in their struggle with other flowers for the at tentions of butterflies und other iiollcn bearers. A novel dovice for generating elec tricity consists of a hollow cauo in which a long, slim battery is plaqed, the induction coil being placed close to the handle and surrounded by two re movable hands attached by wires to the coil for use as poles in giving electric treatment. Tho spider's threads or fibers are estimated to be one-millionth of a hair in thickness. Three kinds of thread are spun. One ofj great strength for the radiating or spoke lines of the web ; the cross lines, or what a saiior might call tho ratlines, are finer and are tenacious; that is, they have upon them little specks or globules of a very sticky gum. The third kind of silk is that which tho spider throws out in a muss of flood, by which Jit suddenly envelops any prov of which it is somewhat afraid us, tor example, a wasp. A Notable Sapphire. There is at present, in tho keeping of Mr. Hay ward of Argyll Street, Reg ent Street, a Ceylon sapphire belong ing to Major-General Bobley, which is not less remarkable for its size than for its translucency and tho brilliance of the optical effects it can show. The weight of the gem is 638 carats, and it is of a dark milky-blue color, perfectly transparent aud flawless. Larger sapphire* have been known, but they have usually, if not always, been dull and muddy, instead of hav ing the clear, translucent color of this specimen, but, in addition, it pos sesses a property occasionally found in slightly cloudy or milky Coylon sapphires—and sometimes in other gems too—which greatly enhances its value in tho eyes of believers in tho occult powerß of precious stones to confor health and good fortuno ou their wearers. It is a star sapphire or asteria. That is, being cut en cabochon, it displays a beautiful opa lesceut star, dividing its six rays at the apex, which changes its position according to tho movement of the source of light by which it is viewed. By employing two or three sources of light two or three of these stars can bo simultaneously seen in the geiu. By further cutting it is said that tho beauty of this 6tono could be still more increased, but, of course, at thu expense of its size.—London Times. Duel Under Singular Conditions. The meD, who had fallen out ovor a ladv, left the arrangement of details to their seconds, and until they faced each other they did not know by what method they were to settle their dil". ferences. One second was a doctor, and he had made up four black pellets, identical in size and shape. 44 1n one of these," he said, 41 1 have placed a sufficient quantity of prussic acid to cause the almost instantaneous death of any one who swallows it. Wo will decide by the toss of a coin which of you is to have first choice, and you will alternately draw and swallow n pill until the poison shows its effects." Two pellets were then taken as the toss had decided, but without effect in either case. 44 This time," said the doctor, speaking of the two pellets re maining, 4, you must both swallow the pill at the samo instant." The choice was again made, aud in p, few seconds ono man lay dead on the grass.—Gen tleman's Magazine. Official Corruption in China.

Judge Lnmcroux, as he is known in Wisconsin, has made his home in Lodge County ever since he was 13 years old. As a youth he was given the advantages of an academic and college education and was admitted to the bar when lie reached his majority, in 1864 the young lawyer dropped his briefs and enlisted in the Fifth Wisconsin In fantry, serving until the close of the war. On returning home he resumed his practice and became interested in poli tics. In 1872 lie was elected a member of the State Legislature, and later he served one term ns district attorney. In 1877 he was elected judge of Dodge County and continued to till that office until 1593, when he resigned to accept tlie appointment of Commissioner of the General Land Office tendered by President Cleveland upon re omm n in Hon of Senator Vilas, whose friendship for Judge Lamoreaux is of long stand- i lug.
