will ba propositiona coming from unexpected quarters baring in view tha ri.al of tha tobacco tax and a sort of combination internal reverse and tariff redaction. There will be talk, also, of dejrading Mr. Randall by deprivlne him of the appropriations committee chairmanship. Altogether there will be a number of differences to be rounded up. But these conferences will be only preliminary to a party caaens, to be held about the time of the meeting of Con cress, when the deposition of th majority will be tested. The question of who will be the chairman of the ways and means committee is an all-important one. Upon it depend the prospects of an agreement on the revenue question. Mr. Mills, as second on the old committee, and an extreme tariff reformer, exfiects to succeed Mr. Morrison. He and Mr. Carisle are close friends, and each admires the ether's abilities. The strongest riral of Mr. Mills for this position will be S. S. Cox, whose WDointment will be urged by many on accouut f his not being such a stickler for the radical principles of free trade, and because Le is more ipt to act with diplomacy. MINOR. MATTERS.

Tbe Rector of Kock Creek Ch arch" Requests the Withdrawal of the Logan Guard. Washington Special. The rector of the Rock Creek Church, in the Cemetery of which the remains of Gen. John A. Logan are temporarily resting, some time ago requested the withdrawal of the guard of United Btates soldiers from the tomb, on the ground that a camp and the manners of soldiers were sot suitable to tbe surroundings, and that all the protection the body needed was furnished by the cemetery keepers. Mrs. Loean, to whom the request was made, objected to the removal f the guard, because she could not bear anything to bappenf and sh intimated .hat if the soldiers were interfered with she wonld take the body of her late husband home until arrangements could be made for its transfer to Chicago. To-day tbe rector of the Rock Creek Church prints a card on the subject, giving his version of tbe affair, and renewing his protest apainst the presence of soldiers, lie closes as follows: "The rector had no motive in seeking an interview with Mrs. Logan but peace and quietness, and as far as possible to prevent anything that might be annoying to herself. His desire was. and still is, that, as at her request and by bis permission, the guard was brought in, so at his request and by her permission it should be removed. This he still hopes Mrs. Loean will early see the propriety of doing, and save both bimseif and the vestry from further action." Indiana 1'ensions. Washington F pedal.

This is the way the President summed up the recent Kentuoky Democratic convention in conversation with a Democratic Senator a short time ago. Tbe Senator, possibly, had not seen the President since that much-talked-about convection, and in the course of a general political discussion he remarked: J "By the way. Mr. President, 4 never knew exactly what to make of the Kentucky convention. At first it seemed to be against you, but finally very much in your favor. How do you understand itr i "Simplest thing in the world," replied the President. '"I'll illustrate it by telling -you a story: Once there was a boy fishing from a wharf, when suddenly he fell overboard. A large crowd collected on the shore and watched his struggles, but not one of them moved a band to save him. Just as it was almost over with him a man came rushing to tbe front, and boldly plunging into the water, dragged the halfdrowned boy ont. The crowd gathered about bim, deeply interested. 'Your son. of course?' said one of tbem. 'No.' was tbe blunt reply. 'Your brother, then?' 'No. 'Then a very near relative or a friend?' 'No; no relation; never saw him before.' 'Then what in heaven's name made yon risk your life to save him?' they all exclaimed in surprise. 'Why, we bad been fishing together, and he bad all the bait in his pocket,' was the nonchalant reply. Now you have the explanation," conclude! the President. "I have all the bait, and the Kentucky Democrats knew it" A Dead Man' Shortage. Washington, July L The examination which lias been maae of the accounts of the late Levi Bacon, financial clerk, of the Interior Department, who died on the 22d ult, reveals a deficiency of $23, 000. The inquiry is said to have shown that for a long time prior to his death he either misappropriated public moneys or permitted loose methods of transacting business in his office. Upon Bacon's decease, at the request of his bondsmen, Jay Hobbell and Jas. M. Norris, Secretary Lamar appointed a committee to examine and settle his accounts. The report of the committee, submitted to the Secretary a few days since, is said to show a deficiency of more than $28,000, of which $16,000 is represented by due-bills of employes of the office, to whom Bacon advanced money. Some of these due bills run as far back as 1879. It is believed a considerable part of the money represented by these bills can be recovered. So tar as tbe investigation has cone it does not prove that Bacon appropriated the money to his own private use, but indicates, rather, that ho was too accommodating to his friends. A Square Meal on the Fourth. Washington Special. Senator Cameron is generally receiving credit for a picnic dinner which is to be given to 1,000 poor people of the capital on the Fourth of July, an the farm which he recently purchased, and which lies on the Seventh-street road, about three miles from the city. The truth is, the picnic is given by a wealthy contractor of the city, who has made tens of thousands out of the labor of the poor, and who proposes to make restitution by giving to just a round thousandand bo more, one good meal, if he never gives them mother. Senator Cameron merely donates the ase of bis grounds. General Notes. Washington, July L The First National cJank of Calvert, Tex., has been authorized to commence business, with a capital of $30,000. Secretary Fairchiid to day ordered the dismissal of Assistant Steamboat Inspector John T. Kennedy, at New York, charged with presenting false accounts. The President to-day appointed Julius T. ConTad, of this city, and John M. Palmer, of Illinois, to be cadets at largn at the West Point Military Academy. Conrad is a son of CoL Conrad, of Washington, and Palmer is a grandson of the Ex Governor of Illinois. The President will have no more appointments to the academy until 1&S9. unless unexpected vacancies occur, Daniel Hageerty, of Maryland, was to-day appointed chief clerk of the Second Assistant Postmaster-general's office, in the Postotlice Department. Rumored Lynching of a Planter. St. Louis, July L A dispatch from Little Rock says word comes from Bradley connty that Henry Hamilton, a wealthy planter and stock man of that county, was lynched last night. It tppears that Hamilton and a man named Deberry recently murdered two brothers named Harris. Efforts were then made to lynch the murderers, but they escaped. Later, Hamilton Was recaptured and releaaed on bail. The report sow is that a mob took vengeance on bim last sight. Steamship News. New York. Joly 1.

AFFAIRS OF TIIE RAILWAYS.

A New Device for Heating; Care. Oliver Bryan, of New York city, claims to have hit upon a new method for heating cars at a srnal cost, be utilizing the waste products of combustion from the locomotive. In his letters applying for a patent he admits that some attempts have been made in this direction before, but he claims as new in his device "the combination with the smokestack, and a single pipe section connected thereto, extending rearward above the engine and tender, of a reservoir in each end of tbe clear 'story connected to said pipe section, and twia pipe sections connecting paid reservoirs," together with other details to make this plan work. The apparatus is thus described: A section of pipe, preferably of equal diameter to the smokestack, is attached to the stack below the usual hood or bonnet, the pipe section being adapted to extend, properly supported, rearwardly and horizontally above the cab, where it is united by any suitable flexible coupline with a similar section suported above the tender. Then, by a series of horizontal pipes through the clear story of the cars, together with steamtight boxes so arranged as to permit as much or as little hot air as desired to be turned into the cars, the smoke from the engine is carried back, and before it is allowed to escape at the last car it has heated the entire train. An Improved Head-Light. A physician of San Francisco has invented an improved locomotive bead-light which promises to be quite useful. The improvement admits of the turning of the light to various points of the line while the train is running. The lantern is supported on a frame which .has both a lateral and vertical movement, and the operating mechanism is so arranged as to be entirely under the control of the engineer. It is claimed by the inventor that this arrangement will be of great service to engineers along dangerous or doubtful parts of the road, and in stormy weather, as, by turning the light to either side, he can examine the ground thoroughly, and will not be put to the necessity of feeline his way among hidden dangers. Threatening trees, rocks or masses of eartn may be inatantly seen, and by tbe quick application of the air-brakes disaster may be averted. The engineer is also enabled by this device to shoot the light across sharp curves and examine the line some distance ahead. Local and State Notes. Belt road engines handled last month 3,704 car-loads of live stock, an increase of 107 over the number handled in June, 1886. Austin Corbin is proraicently mentioned as the probable successor of Robert Garrett as president of the Baltimore & Ohio road. A. B. Shaw, of Vevay, Ind., has been appointed traveling passenger agent of the C, I., St. L. & C, with headquarters at Cincinnati. The several roads are giving notice that all freight depots and shops will be closed on the Fourth of July and no freight trains will be run. J. A. Jarrett has been appointed general agent of the Red. White and Midland fastfreight lines, with headquarters at Buffalo, N. Y. . Last month there were transferred over the Belt road 41,828 cars, against 39,133 in the corresponding month. 1886, 34,233 in 1883, 33,680 in 1884, 22,740 in 1883, 20,787 in 1882. Parties are working up subsidies on the proposed line of the Dayton, Fort Wayne & Chicago road. As usual tbe location of the line depends much upon the amount of subsidies voted. Superintendent Worthington, of the Fort Vane, Cincinnati & Louisville road, is in New York. It is intimated that the Michigan Central is seeking to secure control of this road. Theodore Brown, who represents the passenger department of the C, I., St. L. & C. in tbe Southeastern district, with headquarters at Chattanooga, Tenn., is in the city for a day or two. The Evansville Journal says if President Mackey builds his Evansville, Richmond & Dayton road the Pennsylvania people will certainly extend the Indianapolis & Vincennes road to Evansville. The A., T. & St. Fe will at once establish an agency at Pittsburg. The position has been offered to T. M. Orr. who has represented the C, B. & Q. at that point, and it is understood that he will accept. John R. Landrey, who for some years has been a conductor on the Lake Erie & Western road, left that road yesterday to take a similar position on one of the roads running out of Birmingham, Ala. The L & St. L. people have begun the work of raising ard regraveling their track for a distance of twenty-four miles through the American bottoms. A portion of the distance the track will be raised four feet. The Lake Erie & Western people are seriously considering tbe building of ay extension ot their line from Minster to Piqua, O., where connection would be made with the Pennsylvania and the C.. II. & D. lines. The citizens of Peru show a determination to build a line to the southeast to connect with some of the north-and-soutb roads, and it is believed that some move will be made in earnest in this direction shortly. II. M. Bronson says that if any tickets have been sold at Toledo reading over theT., C. & S., the I., B. & W. and the C. & A. to Kansas City at a cut rate or a full rate, they have not been reported to the general office. C V. V. Ward, for seventeen years the Eastern division passenger agent in New York city of the Erie railroad, resigned his position on Thursday. Mr. Ward is one of the best known passenger men in New York. V. C. Irwin, Crawfordsville, Ind.: A. A. Talmage was assistant superintendent of the Indianapolis & St. Louis road from October, 1SG8, to October, 1870, and eeneral superintendent from October, 1870, to March, 1871, five months. The new rolling-mill erected by the steam forge works at New Albany will manufacture heavy bar iron nsed in the construction of cars, and also car axles. The mill furnaces will be run with coal gas manufactured in the mill. The St Louis tobacco men are much elated that Commissioner Fink has placed tobacco in the same class as grain, and are now boasting that St. Louis will become a greater tobacco market than Louisville in its palmiest days. There was a division of the business at the station of the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne & Chicago road in Fort Wayne yesterday. The freight department is to be looked after by R. B. Rossington, and the passenger department is put in charge of J. E. Ross. The Boston Advertiser says that the L., N. A. & C. etocii is a good investment at 03$ cents on the dollar, as there is but very little of it floating about. Doubtless it will be plenty when the manipulators of it get the stock to as high a notch as it will bear. Dealers in furniture and other articles which are shipped from here to the Pacific coast extensively will be gratified that the advance in transcontinental rates expected to be made on the 7th of July is declared off. and rates are to remuia the same as now indefinitely. It is reported that arrangements have been made by which the coal shipped off the Mackey roads will be forwarded northward via Brazil, instead of via Terre Haute. This indicates that a very friendly feeling exists between President Mackey and the Chicago & Indiana Coal Road Company. The recent order of the railway commission ers regarding the publishing of rates apparently is of but little importance, but it will double the expense of the priuting bills for the railroads, as it makes every road publish its rates, both freight and passenger, on both local and through business to any point they bill to or sell tickets to. The Peru Republican says the exorbitant demands of tbe Lake Erie & Western for the use of their tracks betwen Denver and Peru caused tbe Eel River people to change their terminal from Peru to Logansport. Tbe Republican adds that as soon as the main line of the Wabash is out of the bands of a receiver they will find a way to Pern or make one. Railroad construction moves slowly this year in Indiana. Tbe Railway Age reports but twenty-two miles built in the first six months of the year. Tbe last half of 1SS7, however, will show a decided Increase, as several extensions are to be commenced in the next few days. Of the 800 miles or more projected now in this State, probably 110 will be built before the year closes. The I., B. & W. people have been doing some good work on the Peoria division the last few months. The bridges have been thoroughly rebuilt, some fifty miles of new steel put in the track, and between Urbana and Bloomington, with the exception of ten miles, the road has been graveled to a depth of eighteen inches, making the track one of the best in this section. Tbe growth of business with the Pennsylvania lines at this point the last few years has been remarkable. Last month there were handled at their city freight depots 24,171,514 pounds of freight, representing 2,747 cars; tbe corresponding month, 1886. 21,119,171 pounds were handled, rapresnting2.4S9 cars; the corresponding month, 1SS5, 17.901,750 pounds were handled in June, representing 2,296 cars. In the month of June there arrived and departed at the Union Depot a total of 3,206 trains. Of this number 207 were special trains. Ou these trains were handled 23,611 coaches. J. M. Brodbelt, private secretary of Superintendent Whitcomb, stales that the number of trains

handled at the Union Depot last month was tbe largest in the history of tbe roads, there being an unusually large number of picnic and excursion trains. The mammoth duplex engine the Pennsylvania is testing on Thursday hauled fifty loaded freight cars from Chicago to Fort Wayne. It is proposed to make a test trip between this engine and one of the Pennsylvania class "S" engines. The duplex carries 175 pounds of steam, the class "S1 engines carry 125. In the the test 150 pounds pressure will be used on both engines and their records for hauling compared. The gas wells on the Lake Erie & Western road are proving to be a bonanza in a business way for the Lake Erie & Western road. They are developing new freight traffic and largely increasing travel over the line, and the benefits to be derived in this direction it is thought are but in their infancy, as new towns are springine up and the old towns are growing in the real Western style, Findlay being one of the most important points on the road. The N. Y., P. & O. yesterday commenced the sale or 1.000-mile tickets at $20, good on any part of their system, and it is understood that two Indianapolis firms are about to make a simiannouncement The N. Y., P. & O. mileage tickets, if bought by a firm, are good for any representative of it, and if bought by the head of a family may be used by any member of the family, or by any representative, one at at time. This is tbe most important concession which has been made by any Western road. Within the last twelve months six bridges on Indiana roads have Bhown signs of weakness, and in four cases have gone down with trains on them. In time it will dawn on the legislative body of Indiana that a State in which there are so many railroads ther should be a commission whose duty, among other things, should be to ascertain the condition of bridges and trestles, and if not safe order new ones erected in their place.. In Massachusetts the chief business of the railroad commissioners the last few months has been to look into tbe condition of the structures crossing streams and streets. Surprises seem to he the rule in railroad circles. The Lake Erie & Western people have but just announced that the sleeping coaches run between Indianapolis and Detroit had become paying institutions, and the Detroit & Eel-river road notify tbem that they will haul these coaches no longer, and they came off last night. To go to Detroit by this route one must leave Indianapolis at 1:30 p. M. and arrive at Detroit at 11:30 p. m. By the bye, it is intimated that the B line people are endeavoring to make some -rangement by which they can haul a through coach between Indianapolis and Detroit in connection with one of the Northern roads with which they connect in northern Ohio. In commenting on the widening of the gauge of the Toledo, St. Louis & Kansas City road, the Boston Transcript says: "It begins to look as if the day were breaking in the affairs of this Boston enterprise, made familiar by a history about as varied as that of any road in the country. Tbe original intention was to construct a section of a great narrow-gauge system which ultimately was to extend from ocean to ocean. Operations began in 1882, and from that day to this the line has been the subject of failures, litigation and more trouble generally than falls to the lot of an average of fifty roads in a generation. It demonstrated, however, that the narrow-gauge idea was utterly fallacious. As a standard-gauge road, it has a future before it."

Petroleum as Fuel. Cincinnati, July 1. The use of petroleum instead of coal for producing steam for engines is now attracting much attention. Persons representing the Lima oil district have been here for some time trying to introduce the new fuel, and give a market for the product, which just now appears to go begging. The city waterworks has undertaken a test, which is now in progress, but tbe results are not yet officially declared. It is claimed for petroleum that a barrel of it is equal to a ton of coal in producing steam, which, to the water works department, would represent a saving of a hundred dollars a day. Losses by Fire. Special to the Indianacolis Journal. SrLLivAN, Ind., July 1. Fire broke out at 2 o'clock this morning, entirely consuming the planing-mill of J. F. Hoke & Co.: also, the lumber and sheds adjoining; also, the entire machinery, engine, tools, etc. The total loss aggregates fully $10,000; no insurance. Spring Lake, Mich., July 1. Cutler & Savage's lumber-yard was burned this evening, together with over two million feet of lumber. Loss, $30,000. Ex-Governor Morrill. Augusta, Me., Juiyl. There is no perceptible change in ex-Governor Morrill's condition tonight. Healthful Summer Drinks. r Maple Beer To four gallons boiling water put one quart maple sirup and one tablesr-oonful essence of spruce; when about milk-warm add one pint yeast, and when fermented bottle it. In three days it will be fit for use. Sarsaparilla Mead Three pounds sugar, three ounces tartaric acid, one ounce cream tartar, once ounce flour, one ounce essence of sarsaparilla, three quarts water. Strain and bottle it, then let it stand ten days before using. Currant Shrub Boil currant juice and sugar, in proportion of one pound sugar to one pint juice, five minutes. Stir it constantly while cooling; when cold bottle it. Use like raspberry shrub, one spoonful or two to a tumblerful of water. Raspberry Liquor A pint of raspberries in a quart of spirit must be corked tightly for a month; then clarify a pound of sugar in a pint and a half of water; filter off the spirit and add it to the sirup; mix well and put it in small bottles. Raspberry Vinegar Mash two quarts of raspberries in an earthen vessel, put tbem in a laree stone bottle or jar, pour into them two quarts of good wine vinegar; cork tbe jar slightly and let the juice distill in the sun or warmth for two or three weeks; then filter clear and bottle it, corking it well. English Ginger Beer Pour four quarts of boiling water on one ounce and a half of ginger, one ounce cream tartar, one pound brown sugar and two lemons sliced thin. Put in two gills of yeast, let it ferment twenty-four hours and bottle it. It improves by keeping a few weeks, unless it is very hot weather, and it is a very nice beverage. Oatmeal Drinks First, put into a large pan a quarter of a pound of fine, fresh oatmeal, six ounces of white sugar and half a lemon cut into small pieces. Mix with little warm water; then pour over it one gallon of boiling water, stirring all together thoroughly, and use when cold. This makes a most refreshing and strengthening drink. If preferred, raspberry vinegar, citric acid or any other flavoring may be used instead of the lemon. More oatmeal may also be used if preferred. Second; six ounces of fine oatmeal, four ounces of cocoa and eight ounces of sugar mixed gradually and smoothly into a gallon of boiling water. Use when cold. Lemonade Sirup With one pound of lump sugar rasp the yellow rind of six lemons. Moisten the sugar with as much water as it will absorb, and boil it to a clear sirup. Add tbe juice of twelve lemons, stirring it in well beside the fire, but do not let it boil any more. Bottle the sirup at once and cork it when cold. Mix a little of this sirup with cold water when lemonade is wanted. Raspberry Vinegar with Sugar Mash the fruit in an earthen bowl; to every pound of raspberries add a pint of vinegar; cover, and let it stand two or three days, then press it through a jelly-bag; to every pint put half a pound of loaf sugar, set the juice on the fire to come to aboil, take off any ecum that rises; allow five minutes gentle boiling, set it to get cold; then pour it into small bottles and cork well. Currant Vinegar This fine vinegar is made by simply pressing the fruit to a mash; let it stand a night, then strain the juice off clear and fill bottles to the brim. Set them uncorked in the sun, or in a warm place, until the fermentation ceases. Any little impurity that rises skim off with a piece of blotting-paper and cork the bottles well. White currants are excellent for delicate pale vinegar, lied ones make a vinegar equal to that made from the finest red wine. Ginger Beer The following recipe for making a very superior ginger beer is taken from the treatise of Dr. Pereira on diet. The honey gives the beverage a peculiar softness, and from not being fermented with yeast it is less violent in its action when opened, but requires to be kept a somewhat longer time before use: White sugar, five pounds; lemon juice, quarter of a pint; honey, one-quarter of a pound; ginger bruised, five ounces; water, four and a balf gallons. Boil the ginger in three quarts of the water for half an hour, then add tbe sugar, lemon juice and honey, with the remainder of the water, and strain through a cloth; when cold add a quarter of the white of an egg and a small teaspoonfnl of essence of lemon. Let the whole stand four days and then bottle; it will keep for many months. This quantity will make 100 bottles. llonsehold Hints. -..-j not sunshine will remove scorch.

If this way is once tried no one will again injure the fine flavor by cutting across the grain. They should always be so prepared, both for table and canning. The following recipe for keeping moths out of clothing is a favorite in some families: Mix half a pint of aleohol, the same quantity of spirits of turpentine, and two ounces of camphor. Keep in a stone bottle and shake before nsiag. The clothes or furs are to be wrapped in linen, and crumpled-up pieces of blotting-paper, dipped in the liquid, are to be placed in a box with them. A carving-dish napkin is no less useful than decorative. Whether made of Brittany or butcher's linen, it should be large enough to guard the entire end of the table where meat is served. It is very little work '.o trace a motto in old English letters on the edge nearest the center of tbe table, such as "Good Cheer all tbe Year," or, "Welcome One and All." The letters may be traced with a soft lead pencil, and are to be irregularly disposed. ' A material for fastening knives or forks into their handles is much needed. The best cement which is nsed for this purpose is made by melting one pound of colophony, bought of any druggist, and eight ounces of sulphur. It may be kept in a bar or reduced to powder. Take one part powder and mix with iron filings, fine sand or brick dust, and fill the cavity of the handle, then heat the stem of the knife or fork and insert. When cold it will be found to be firm in its place. If the feet are tender and painful after long standing or walking, great relief may be obtained by bathing them in warm salt and water. A large handful of salt to a gallon of water as warm as can be borne is the proper proportion. The feet 6hould be immersed, and the water thrown over them with the hand, and also over the legs as far as the knees. When the water becomes too cool, dry the feet and legs, rubbing upward with a rough towel. Neuralgia of the feet has been cored by perseverance in this method night and morning. A gay, pretty rug, in imitation of the Turkish, may be made with bright pieces of wool carpet. Old salt-bags, nicely cleaned, make a good foundation on which to sew the strips of carpet. A nice size for a rng to spread before a lounge is a yard and a half long by three-fourths wide. For a smaller one a good proportion is one yard long by one-half wide. Cut the pieces of carpet on the bias, two inches wide and as longs as the piece of carpet will allow. Fringe each edge of the strips one-half inch. Put two of these strips together, one on top of the other, and sew them lengthwise of the foundation. Make other strips like this and sew them so closely together on the canvas that it will be entirely covered, and the fringed ends form a thick mat. THE VSCS OF POOR YfHISKY.

Set Aside for Sale In Prohibition StatesLager Beer and Weak Drinks. New York Sun. "What effect does prohibition have on our business, did you say?" answered one of the largest wholesale liquor dealers in New York, to the reporter. "Well, as to the volume of the trade, I don't know that it has any appreciable efteet, except to increase it Prohibition, however, in any particular locality does have a very appreciable effect in the demand for a much lower grade of goods than under a license law. Where it is just as much an offense to sell good liquor as poor liquor, of course tbe average man is going to make the best profit he can out of the r;:khe runs. Therefore he sells poor liquor. "You see." continued the dealer, "that in a place where licenses are granted New York, for instance liquor-selling is an art; and in a place where prohibition prevails it is a crime, and there is all the difference in the world between being an artist and a criminal. "How does prohibition affect the sale of imported liquors, such as champagne?" "Champaigne,"' was the reply, "is a drink of the wealthy. It is a luxury. It is largely consumed in social clubs and in rich men's nouses, which are beyond the reach of prohibition. These buy it by the package from importers, for the State prohibitory laws cannot and do not interfere with the sale of imported liquors in the original packages. That is, in Maine, Rhode Island or Iowa the rich man can go right into the store of an importer of liquors and publicly order his case of champagne, while the poor man, going to a saloon next door for a glass of lager beer, finds the door closed and has to hunt around a back entry for a drink of poor whisky. "But the sale of champagne is affected by prohibition, for a good deal of champagne is sold in the bigher class of restaurants and hotel dining rooms; and that cannot very well be carried on openly where prohibition prevails. The man who used to order his bottle of claret or champagne at the hotel dining-room is now piloted after dinner, or before if he prefers, to some mysterious and carefully-guarded apartment, where he satisfies his thirst for intoxicants by one or two swigs of whisky. Of course, in such cases the whisky is probably good. The whisky takes place of champagne because it is less bulky, and, therefore, easier to conceal, and a little of it goes a long way, a much longer way than champagne would have gone with the drinker. "Yes, sir. as soon as the large liquor firms hear that a State has gone for prohibition they count upon it as another market for their poorest grade of corn-juice." "Yes, the sale of lager beer is affected very considerably by prohibition in some of the States," said a gentleman well acquainted with the brewery trade. "Whenever prohibition comes in many of the people stop drinking lager beer. They drink hogwash, stuff with perhaps two per cent, or so of alcohol. They drink more alcohol in the end than if they had taken healthy lager beer made by New York bra v. eies with a reputation to lose, but it takes them longer to do it, and makes them sick when they are through. Where the ordinary drinker, in a place like New York, would take two or three glasses of lager beer, and be satisfied, and feel healthy, and happy, and sober, the drinker, in a prohibition town swallows a gallon of hogwash, and then has a good deal more alcohol in him than the other man, but has had no satisfaction out of it. "No; when I say that prohibition affects the trade, I only mean that it affects our trade with those places which prohibit the sale of good, healthy lager beer. The general consumption of that excellent beverage is largely on the increase. So is the consumption of hogwash where prohibition prevails. Treatment of Horses. Dakota Farmer. There is an amazing amount of unnecessary cruelty in the treatment of the noble horse. Farm laborers and teamsters are too frequently ignorant of the first principles of horsemanship, and consequently most of our horses are prematurely old and unfit for service at twelve or fifteen years, when they should be good for twenty years more. It is said that the average years of usefulness of the horse are much less in America than in any other country. If teamsters understood the first principles of their business, there would be much less whipping, jerking, overloading and general ill treatment, and more attention to proper fitting of harness and other essential matters. The perversity of man is too often exhibited in merciless ill usage of horses stalled in deep mud and overloaded, when the fault is entirely with the driver. In thi3 way good horses are made vicious, intractable and balky. Farmers cannot be too careful in employing hands who know how to properly adjust the harness and who will not willingly, and who have too much intelligence to ignorantly, ill treat his team. la a Cincinnati Hank. Chicago Herald. President What is Mr. Schneider's balance to-dav? Cashier Ten thousand dollars. President And how is it being played! "Wheat." "Well, perhaps you had better shift to faro. Buy blue checks, please, and play my system. Is Schmidt's balance sifted in at Robinson's?" "Yes, sir." "Then take Johnson's deposit over and play heavy. If we don't break that stud-poker game we will go broke ourselves. Meantime, I will be out at tbe track. I purchased a fine tip on the races this morning, and I will play it for all I am worth." (Exit with the cash box.) A Clean-Water Hath. The Epoch. A little Italian girl, who was posing as a model, said, the other day, to a lady artist who was painting her at her studio on Fifth avenue, that she had just taken a bath. The child was asked: "How much did you pay for your bath?" Ten cents." was the reply. "Why, I pay $1.50 when I go out to take a bath." said the lady. "My," exclaimed the child, "what clean water they must give you!" Irrigation. Coral Sew Yorker. Every year the question of irrigation comes to the front more and more. Gardeners about us know very well that if they could control a water supply in a dry time they could add from 25 to 50 per cent, to the value of their crops; For one season where there is too much rain there are ten where there is not enough. We cannot make it rain, hut if

we can have a fair supply of water above ground, with a hose we can reach plants within two hundred yards of tbe water and add greatly to their value. Any gardener within reasonable distance of a pond,, stream or spring ought to be able to hold a tankful of water in readiness at any time for his plants. We have frequently seen acres of tomatoes, cabbage and other vegetables perishing for lack of water, while fifteen feet below them sparkled a never-failing spring and brook. That water raised into a tank would have abundantly supplied the needed soaking:

Agriculture in the South. New Orleans Times-Democrat. Tbe big planter, with his palatial residence and his almost royal, if somewhat barbaric, splendor and hospitality, is going. There are aome sections of the South, moreover, where life ia stagnant and agriculture makes no improvement, but, taking the whole section, it is evident that, man for man, it has improved on any period of slavery, in the agricultural, as well as manufacturing districts. -Wealth is better distributed and more p-ople share in the crops produced. That Southern agriculture has improved in methods no one can or does deny. That the Southern farmer and planter, having the advantage of agricultural experiment stations, agricultural colleges, agricultural societies, magazines and improved machinery, employing better methods, cultivating more closely, using fertilizers when necessary, are improvements on tbe old-style planters and farmers, who scrambled along in a reckless way. wearing out a great deal of land once fertile, but now almost ruined by the absurd system of cultivation in force "before the war," we scarcely think even the most ardent lover of old times is disposed to deny. Things Not to Do. Country Gentleman. Do not prune a young tree which was set in spring, after the leaves have expanded, as this tends greatly to check its growth. Do not water a newly-set tree in summer, as it is often done, by pouring water on the ground, and by doing it at intervals. The water usually fails to reach the roots below, and causes the surface to become crusted and hardened. The only way in which water may reach the roots, is by removing the earth above them, then pouring on tbe water and replacing the earth. But the water soon soaks away and dries up, and is useless unless regularly repeated, with the additional precaution of keeping tbe surface moist between the waterings by mulching. If the trees are not growing vigorously, too much watering may rot the roots. Care of Grafts. Bnral New Torker. Grafts set this spring will need attention. If shoots start upon the stock where they will rob the graft, remove them, A graft should be treated as if it were a young tree, planted in the stem of another tree, instead of in the ground. Where there are several buds upon the graft, one will often get the start of others and outgrow them. Check this by pinching the ends of the shoots of the rampant grower. Small Business. Philadelphia Press. Forging the name of Jefferson Davis is about as small business as a man can engage in nowadays. It would be bad enough to forge the name of a living man. Training lima beans to laths and pinching back tbe tops is said to be a better plan than the old method of training them to long poles. rnf S niRECT TP WEAK SPOTS B a i 1 m a V.
