It was the golden summer time When farmers gather la the sheaves And swarrows twitter round, the eave.; When diisiesIft their starry crowns And zephyrs whisper to tae leaves load words of love, and every breeze Wafts perfume s,weet o'er ail the land.

C. E. Raymond, Italian Bees. When a hire is opened the common bees incline to rush out pell-mell, while Italians cling to the combs and remain quiet. The utmost gentleness is requisite at all times in doiig anything among bsea, and if this ia practiced, there is little to ds dreaded in handling Italians. Occasionally things will happen calculated to try the temper of the most peaceably-Inclined bees, just as the gentlest of human beings will sometimes be exposed to provocation. Bat under ordinary circumstances the Italians will b found much more pacific and less irritable than the common bees. They are less liable to be destroyed by moths than the common bees. In fact, if your bees are Italians and the colonies are strong and in good condition, you need hare no fears of this pest, which until recently wai undoubtedly the most common and formidable enemy to bee culture in this country. If moths once get into a hire of olac t bees, it is bat a question of time when it will succumb to their ravages, bat Italians, With resolute determination, will make an aggressive war upon them, cat oat their webs and carry the moths themselves oatside the hire. I hare observed this performance repeatedly, and if this was the only point of superiority that could be claimed for Italia bees, it is sufficient to give them a position of prominence among the bee-keiperi of the South, whsra mvhs are so common and very destructive. Hybrids are a cross between common bees aad Italians. They often hare the distinct marks of both races in the same colony, while some only have one or two braads across them. They are good honey gatherers, but vicious. Irritable, and diSalt to manage, and after the first cross degener- . ate and soon become worthies. At leait, that is my experience with them, though some prominent bee men prefer them to pure stock of either race. J. D. Mitchell in Southern Cultivator, September. . Should Horses Be Watered Before or After Feed lag;. The veteinary editor of the North British Agriculturist says: The rational practice is to let horses have the opportunity of drinking suffict'eitly oftenlto prevent their being very thirsty, snd hence drinking to excess. In hot weather -and daring active exertion horns enjoy and are the better for a draft of water at intervalsjof three or four hoars. Oa their return from work they stoald hive the opportunity of drinking, and unless abttiHence has been protracted, or the animal much fatigued or overworked, or constitutionally washy aad delicate, there n no need to restrict them. Cold water doas nr harm except in very cold, wintry weather, when a portion of hot water should be ran into the horse troughs, or the water in bucie's p'.aced for several hours In the stable. Refreshed by his drink, the horse will fiel bstter than it ho prooeels to his meal thirsty ana Unpaid. Postponing watering until after feeding has, moreover, the serious disadvantage of washing tha recently swallowed, imperfectly digested food with ahaormal rapidity onward through the Intestines, thus checking digestion, giving rise to irregular fermentation and inducing colic ana other ailments. Although he may alvantagsonsly have a lew sips ef'.er feeding, a horse should not be allowed to gulp unlimited qnn.ities of water, and indeed does not care to do so, if lie has bad his drink b:fore he bsau his meal. For horses ai well ti for their mister, the best arrangement is to hava water for rue in reasonable amount at all times. Thii ia secured ia miay stables, where a slowly filling trough of aoout a gallon Capacity is fixed in the maogjr, aal to this the horse turns at intervals with avidity before feeding, occasionally daring masti cation, to assist the moistening of his dry food, and with diminished zest to wash his mouth oa conclusion of hi) meals. Keep Potatoes Clean. Clean culture ia one of the first consid rations in the cultivation of any crop, bat the potato seems to be peculiarly suceptible to the injurious influence of weeds. A field mar be erowinz in ereat luxuriance and give promise of a bountiful harvest, bat II weeds are allowed to grow and con tinoe their hold upon the soil about t-e time the potatoes come to blossoming, or when the little tubers begin to set, the chances are that the crop will be very largely diminished, not only in quantity, but in size. While an excess of moisture might be is j urions, the potato Is a plant that requires a certain amount of moisture lor the proper development of its tubers. and the presence of we Ms is sure to cause diminution of moisture, besides ex haustion of fertilizing material. If, there fore, the best success in the cultivation of potatoes is desired, they must be kept clean. Bawdait Fodder. Veterinary Professor Sanson has analyzed and reported upon the cakes or biscuits having sawdust for base, intended as food for cattle, and horses in particular. It Is an aliment not new to Germany. This ali ment has for chaef ingredient very fine xed aawdnst, acted upon by muriatic acid a powerful digesting agent. The cases are thin, eizht to ten inches in diameter. and weigh about one pound. In two sample the alscuit was mixed with bran and oats. Io one of course expects that saw -dust alone could be utilized as food; it is too poor in protein, but it can act by "bal lasting" tha digestive apparatus; giving It the required volume fox working. As a stomach-ballast, sawdust could then enter into com petition with inferior

straws. Chemically the biscuits were not nutritively richer than hay, while in point of digestibility they were inferior. In case of cavalry when campaigning, where economical rations are desirable, there would be required forty-one p.-unds of the oat-sawdust cake more if of bran to equal ten pounds of hay and the same Height of oats. Now horses when on the war-path mHst be laden with as few heavy weights as possible. The weight of the cakes could be reduced by dedication and volume by the introduction of some highly concentrated aliment. The biscuits should be estimated at the same value aa that of medium hay. Sawdust can be eaten without danger by horses. The omnibus company, when tney employed that substance for litter, never prevented the bones from eating It that which did them so harm. In Sweden, very ie larch sawdust is employed with advantage, instead of chopped straw, and mixed with sliced mangolds for bullocks and dairy stock. Feeding Horses. If the "stomach of the horse were more fully understood lis feeding would be more carefully attended to. The benefit that comes from food comes through the process of digestion that is carried on in the stomach, and even while the process of feeding is going on. In comparison with the ox, the stomach of the horse is small. It is claimed that the stomach of the ox has a capacity of 250 quarts, while thatot the horse is only about six tees quarts: so, as a consequence, whatever is in the stomach after it is filled must be expelled into the intestines if feeding is continued. In that case, if the process of digestion is Incomplete the result is an expulsion of the food without serving the purpose for which it is intended. For that reason, in the uf e of concentrated food in connection with coarse fodder, there must be an exercise of judgment or the feeding will do little good. Thus oats may be fed to a horse snd followed by hay to such an extent as to expel the oats wholly from the stomach, in which case the only benefit derived is from the amount ot digestion going on daring this period of eating. The office of the stomach being to digest the nitrogenous portion of the food, and as a stomach full of oats contains about four or five times as much nitrogenous matter as when filled with hay, either the stomach mast secrete Its gastric juice five times as fast or the period of digestion must be five times as loDg. If a concentrated food like oats is to be fed with hay the latter should be fed first and then the grains, thus giving ample time for digestion between feeding Bark of the Papaw Tree A correspondent of the South Carolina department of agriculture writes: Anew industry might be started, not only giving pleasure but considerable profit to those who would engage in it, and requiring little or no capital. The common papaw bark has a fiber that is equal to the best hemp or flax, somewhat superior in strength. A grove can be started withont any future culture outside of preparing the land to plant the seed. After a growth of two years the young shoots can be cut and placed in pure water, and let them remain for two months, then taten out and stripped of the bark, which can be done readitv; the fiber will be of a pure white color, while the outer bars: will be the color of hemp and very strong. I have been making use of it for years for hams strings and other purposes about my farm. I hare some now on hand, but it was not carefully prepared, as the sprouts were placed in muddy water and only intended for ordinary use. The: smallest Btring can be used with a needle as common cotton thread, and will last equally as long. Alter cutting the shoots they will sprout out from the stumps and be ready for the next year's crop. Another advantage, the trees will grow on both bottom and upland. The writer now has a grove growing on common upland that was planted from the seed. Now that machinery has been invented for decorticating ramie and jute, I can't see why it would not answer the same purpose for the papaw. Many of our river and creek bottoms have become so uncertain as to crops, particularly the lowest and best lands, that it might be well to devote those lands to some other crop that, If flooded, the farmers would sustain no loss thereby. I have never seen it tried, but am satisfied that if the fiber is properly prepared it will make very superior cloth. I hope some one else will give their experience and that the experiment will be made.

Raising Galons. Mr. Thompson, of East Rocknort. Oar.. writes to the Detroit Free Press: In sow ing the onion seed I have always tried to get in as early in the spring as possible. even in March, If the ground can be worked. I fonnd last year, aad this year alro, that the first sown were the first to mildew. The be3t fertilizer f or onions is wtod ashes, at the rate of one buudred bushels to the acre, nnleaehed. The soil best adapted is a loose mucky bottomland. tnongn toe largest onions I ever raised were on a stiff clay, which had been eeeded down to timothy for five years, and then plowed np in the fall, and given a heavy dressing of manure, well worked in, and I then applied wood ashes at the rate of two hundred bushels to the acre. The season was wet and it was jast fun to see how those onions grew. Ths onion raised principally raised from seed in our location is the yellow Danvers. The principal variety for market to )e bunched is the '-Egyptian" or winter onion. As perhaps a ereat many are unacquainted with this variety, I will say just a few words about it. It is planted in the fall from sets and used for bunching green very late in the fall or early in the spring. They never make large bottoms, bat just small straignt onions.u&ed to eat green. When they errow larger tney can be used for cooking. They area multiplying var.etv. and if thinned out can be raised in tha same place for years without ret etting. Bat the better way is aiong in toe latter part or July to cut oü the sets which grow on top, then take a scythe and mow all on close to the ground. Dig np the old onion?, or bot toms as we call them, and plant them in rows from twelve to fifteen inches, about tnree inches deep and about two inches spart in the row. They will grow stronger and make earlier onions for bunching than the smaller sets. The sets run in sua from a pea to a hickory nut, and grow in bunches, which must be picked apart. They will stand any amount of freezing, and even in winter, when we have a fe warm days, will start to grow. They grow very rapidly If on good ground. The rich' er the foil, the faster they grow. When once planted, they are very hard to kill, unless dug out. if plowed under they are pretty sure to grow through. Another onion, which I raise from seed, I find very valuable. 'mis is a red onion, and is very mild. My aeighbors say they are not strong at ail. A great many people who have tried these onions ror table use are willing to pay double the price of yellow Danvers onion, and they are a little earlier. Agricultural Advancement. Some of the younger states of our Union are doing an important work for the ad vancement of agricmlture within their borders. This is especially true of Minne sota, as a casual perusal of the report of the Department of Agricnltuae of the State University most fully attests. This report contains numerous lectures delivered at the university in what is termed the farmers' course, of a character calculated to benefit the farmer to the fullest degree possible. This Idea of educating farmers by means of popular lectures is becoming a sort of necessity, and has a strong ten dency to uproot and aestroy the preiu dices that have been so great azainst book ortscleDtlfio farming. The better informed 01 onr class are coming to realise the great importance of making an application of all the principlee of science that are possl ble in their chosen occupations. In the

report mentioned the ladles are not neglected nor forgotten, as it contains a complete course of lectures upon domestic economy and cookery by Miss Julie!. Corson. This is important; while the f aimers and farmers' sons are being educated, the wives and daughters should not be neglected nor forgotten, but they too should be elevated in their sphere in the more necessary duties of the household, and the means of rendering the home beautiful and desirable.

Black em at la Corn. In some localities the black smut in corn is often the cause of serious loss. It is worst on land where this crop has been planted several years in succession, showing that the germs live over winter in the soil where they fall. It is a fangas bard to get rid of where it has a foothold. The ears or stalks affected will be found early bursting with sap, and as the spores hove not yet ripened so as to become easily detached, these diseased epecimens may be removed without much danger of spreading the infection. Later in the season the fungus bursts, and its black dust is scattered by winds, whence it gets on tha stalks and into the mannre pile. Remedy for Cabbage Worm. The number of remedies for this disgusting pest are almost without number, many of which are entirely ineffectual. A trial of a new remedy seems to be of such a character as to recommend it to use. It consists of steeping a tablespoonfal of ground cloves In a quart of water afcd sprinkling upon the plints with a brnshbroom. So far it has proved entirely ef ritual, but may fail in its continuance. If it holds out sis well as it has commenced it will be worth remembering, for the reason that it is quite simple, inexpensive, and easily applied in the manner indicated. Household Hints. Milk toast Slice stale bread thin, tast to a delicate brown, lay in a disti: mal; a pound of butter in a pint of new milk and pour over t lie toast. Buttered toast Toast stale bread to a delicate brown, pip in boillDg water containing a little salt, spread with butter and set in the oven.

Serve hot with cream, sweetened and flavored with nutmeg. Oyster toast. Boil one cup of oysler liquor with half a cup of cream, tablespoon of butter, pepper and salt; pour over some nicely toasted bread and set in the oven five minutes; then lay broiled oysters on the slices of toast and serve hot. German toast Cut in thin slices a loaf of bread, soak half on hour in sweet milk, take out the bread, beat two eggs, a small teaspoon ful of butter, a tablesp onful of corn starch in milk, dip the slices of bread in and fry brown; sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon. . A good tea cake that a dyspeptic can eat without injary, if cold. One cup of sugar, one egg, a half cupful of sour cream, the same of sweet milk, a small teaspooaful of soda, a little salt and nutmeg. Bake an hour before tea time, so that the cake may have time to cooL Bombay toast Take one'ounce of anchov ies, wash bone and pound in a mortar with one ounce ot fresh -butter till reduced to a paste; melt in a sauce-pan. add the beaten yolk of two eges and pepper and salt to taste, and spread the mixture on some slices of nicely toasted bread. Sarva very not. Green corn omelet Grate the corn from twelve ears of boiled corn, beat up five eggs, three spoonful Is of flour, two-thirds ot a cup of sweet milk to make a batter, stir in the corn and salt to suit taste. Set in a hot oven to brown, f jr it Is not easy to turn them. Cream toast Toast slices of thin bread. lay in a covered dish aad pour boiling water over them; pour the water off and let drain.

Heat the milk to the boiling point, reserving a little cold to mix with the meal, and one beaten egg, which stir into the milk while hot; add the salt spice and sweeten ing. liAke two hours or moie in a slow oven. Farm Notes The color of pure Devon cattle is rad. varying from a rich dark to a pale ehest nut. Beasts with small chests do not fatten readily and are very susceptible to dis ease. Carefully "hand-nick." the garden seeds you saved last season, saving only the par le ones. one of the most prohtabie wavs oi ar plying ashes is sowing them broadcast over newly seeded ground. It Is a mistake to suppose that sour, farmeuted slop for nogs is better than a fresh mixture that is sweet and clean. Sunflower seed is often fed to poultry, but if too much be given it will cause the feathers to fall off, as it promotes early molting. All animals should have an allowance of linseed meal at least twice a week, as it will regulate the bowels and prevent "hide bound." Although it is supposed that the hor eats anything, yet it meets many grasses and weeds that are readily eaten by sheep and cattle. The latest mode, of whitewashing out buildings is to have the whitewash thin in consistency and force it on the walls with a forco pump. A free sprinkling of fiaely sifted wood ashes on turnips will assist in preventing the attacks of the fly, and will also serve as an excellent fertilizer. Elpe cantaleups will easily become detached from the vines, while green ones must be pulled off. They cannot always be known to be ripe by the appearance. Rotation in crops is the sure3t and safest plan in farming, and when one or two years of pasture shall be included in the rotation the benefits will be still greater. The successful establishment of creameries and cheese factories in MLssLisippi and other Southern States has given a new im petua to dairy Interests ;in the South. If weeds have grown to a greit height and cannot be plowtd under, mow ta;ja down before they seed. After they shall bave been well dried aake thetn up and burn them in a pile. Where tha strawberry vices are thickly matted in the rows the weed1 should b hand-pulled. The strawberry does not well endure dry weather. aDd the wedi r;b the the plants of both food and moisture.

No better use can be made ot the soapsuds cn wash days than to first scrub the pigs, if not too many of them, and then poor it along the celery rows. Soapsuds make an excellent fertilizer for both celery and asparagus. The Dorset is a horned bred of sheep which has been preserved intact for a long time, chiefly in Dorset and Sommersot shires, in the south of England. The original sheep was much smaller in sizo than the improved Dorsets of to-day. A few lumps of charcoal with a box of wood ashes placed in the bog p-n will prevent many ills arising from iudigestion la hoes. The charcoal should be fesa. Old

1 charcoal may be renewed by heating it in tne stove lor a lew minutes. The free use of insect powder in the stables will greatly lessen the annoyance to stock from tiies, but Uie stalls and floors should be kept clean. Dusting the legs of horses with carbolate of lime Will aid in preventing attacks from insects. Store beets, carrots, parsnips andtarnira in bins in the cellar, and pack them In dry ssnd or earth, and they will keep well tor winter use. This method will enable the farmer to'.use them at any tima. which will not be the case if they be stored in monads in tne open air. In using tarrd paper for roofs consideralien mutt be given to the fact that unless the paper be securely fastened so that the wind cannot cet under it the roof will be eaisly destroyed daring the prevalence of a very bigh wind. .Taper roofs are excellent, provided they can be properly put on. ßatsafras is a nuisance in any field, bnt It cannot be destroyed very easily except by grubbirjg it out removing all the roots. Being a hardy and presistent plant it must be kllled'in its younger stages. If allowed to overrun a f.eid it will eutail nearly es much labor as is required to clear ner l&cd from brush.

The Building of the Additional Hospital fur the Insaae Oaaaes the Heavy Drala Upon the Treasury . Mr. John W. Coon?, who represents the commonwealth in the capacity of Deputy Auditor, has recently, with the assistance of the Journal, been engaged in a deli berat attempt to mystify and alarm the dear people by putting together a masi of figures in such shape as to indicate that the State is in bad financial straits and that, owing to alleged dereliction of her officers, she has not honorably met her obligations. Mr. Coons has a reputation as "an expert sccouLtant' He is a peculiar genius in that lice of business; one of that class hose services have been mnch in demand by Kt-pnbhcan returning boards, and who at ail tiiu8 are ?o subservient to tb.9 basses as to have no difficulty in eking out a liveliijncd at the party's expecse. Mr. Coons' "upeit" . work has given h'ai a wide acquaintance. It was be. it will 'memberedwho went down to Jtf erronville to examine ex-Warden Howard's books when the prison disclosures came and wbo magnified the shortage, wb'cb was res' y less than $13 00ö to over $100,000. "I 1 tva discovered deficits in the accotiBts negating $100,000," said the Deputy An 1 or exultantly when he came back fron ihe penitentiary, "and a more thorougr i xammatlon may show a shortage In excess of $150. OOO." Of course Mr. Coons did not mean to deceive the public in regard to the true condition of the prison's affairs. No, he simply made a mistake of something like $100,000. His mistake was of a character tending though, of course, not intended to redound to the political benefit of his party. Considering Mr. uoons' reputation, a prudent public, when informed that he is the author of the series of articles now being published in the Journal and which are calculated to destroy the State's credit, will receive the statements with some de gree cf allowance. nu t. - the late Democratic State officers is that the second instalment of school fund inter est for the fiscal year ending October 31, 1SSC, was not paid when it fell due, but was carried over to the next fiscal year. In order to ascertain the facts In the case a Sentinel reporter yesterday inteiviewed State Auditor ' Carr himself with regard to the delay in paying the Interest "What does tne school luna interest amount to?" asked the reporter. "About $340.000 in round numbers," re plied Mr. Carr. , "And when is it paiar Semi-annually under the law. It falls due May 10th and October 10th each year. The sum of $170,000 is paid on each of these dates." "Wht amount of money was in the general J und on October 10. 18SG ?" Mr. Carr opened tne books ana saia: "Fifty-nine thousand dollars." How could $170,000 be paid with $59.000 r "I don't know." "What would you, as Auditor of the State, bave done under such cLrcum.ances?' "I don't know." "Would you not have been compelled to carry the debt over, as Mr. Itice.did?" "I don't know." "What else could be done?" "I don't know?'' Auditor Carr, although in painful ignorance of any other course that could have been persaed, thought it was not right that three payments of interest ehoaid be made in one fiscal year. He did Dot know, evidently, that the Auditor could be compelled by writ of raandato to pay the school f nod interest tust as toon es tbera was sufficient money in the treasury. Mr. Rice lost no time in payiDg itjaftcr the gneral fund was replenished by the fall settlements in IS; "The truth Is." said Auditor Uarr, that there is no occasion for all tliia huh -bub about the condition of the treasury. e are all right, and will Ret through the fiscal year all right. Gus Leincke is, belly-achine, around a good deal, but bis estimates do not agree with mine, and yna may depend upon it that the money will be applied to it j proper purposes as fast as it comes in. As I told Governor Gray, I am going to look after the benevolent institutions first and then the other things " "I have just been doing a little hgnrin this afternoon," continued Auditor Carr, and the result is not at all discourag ing. My estimates may vary eonewhat, but they are, i Deiieve, approximately correct. The disbursements for the next cecal year, lnciuung current expenses named in the general ap nrnnrifttion rill, the nnifinine ana lurntsning of the additional hospitals for the insane, the building of the Soldiers Orphans' Hone at Knigntstown, ana me erection of the Asylum for Feeble-minded Children at Ft. Wayne, will aggregate. eccordirg to my estimate the turn of $l,333,2'il. To this must be added $50.000, which it will te necessary to draw from next year's reve nue for the maintenance of the bsnevolent Institutions during the last month of the pres ent fiscal year, l his mates a total ot 11,383,261. Now I find that the receipts for the fiscal year will reach $1,373,035. So 5 on see we ought to have no trouble to get tnroogh. The payment of bcuodi luna interest was provided for by the recent loan of $340,OCO. made by the State officers, who ccnstitoted a Board of i iaaace," It will be seen by the above that Audi tor Carr is not an alarmist like his deputy, Mr. Coons. It is Intimated that the recent outcry was brought about largely by a hitch between the Auditor and the Treas urer, and a sentence in Mr. Can's remarks, quoted in tha forego ing. gives truthful coloring to the belief. The Anditor seems disposed to freely exer else his prerogative in the matlar of draw ing warrants when there is money in the Treasnrery. The Treasurer la not sitogata er well ples.eed to see the warrants come ia The chief cause of the depletion of tbe State's funds is the building of the additional Hospitals for the insane. Gov enior Porter, in his message to the General Assembly of 1833, strongly urged the establishment of these institutions. It was a pet bobby of his and tbe Legislature with due courtesy to him, passed a bill providirg for the erection of hospitals at Igansport, Richmond and Evansville nncfer the provisions of the act the building of tbe institutions was placed in the band of a Board of Commissioners two Republicans and tro Democrats with the Governor as pre-ldent thereof. Tne ComniH'M.eis Wfe opioitited by Governor I'crter r.d he Lionelf was prudent daring the I'nio vLeu the bulk of the wk ou tbo II capitals was done. In poMties tie Posri was Republican and it ill e tCicnlt, therefore, for tbe Journal sLd Mr. Cociih to fix any blame for lack of u otry np in be ex-Democratic State omus The it ction of the law enacted by the Aiinibiy of 1S3. which appropriated the money for the new institutions waa.as in order to c&rry out thQ proTltfonJ Of this

set there is hereby spproprlated tbe sum of fjOO.COO for tbe jear isaJ, and 8360,000 for tbe year 18M, out of any money In the treasury not otherwise appropriated, The above does not say that the $000,000 was to carry out part of the provisions of the act; it evidently?meant all of them. However, the Republican Board of Hospital Commissioners, with the sanction of Governor Porter, gave a peculiar construction of their own to the law and proceeded to do their work on a most gigantic scale. Instead of confining tne' ex penditures to $000.000 for the three Hospitals, the Board contractedfor buildings which would coat about that much each. The result was that when the Assembly of 1885 met the wort had reached euch a stage that it could not be stopped without great loss and in order to contin ne it the Legislature founa it necessary to appropriate 'additional sums $225, 000 for 1SS5, JS3,S0 for lSS'J, and $40,000 for maintenance np to April. 1887. The aggregate expenditures to July last (since which time nothing has been drawn) according to the books of the Auditor's office, are $1,475.8.V. 83, and the buildings are not yet completed and equipped. It is these extraordinary disbursements.

made necessary by a Republican Governor ana a KcpuDiican Board of Hospital Com missioners, that has caused the heavy drain upon the State's resources, and not tne late Democratic administration, as Mr. Coons and the Journal would have it appear. THE PRESIDENT'S VISIT. Mr. Cleveland and HU Wife to be September 30, (or Two Days. It will be gratifying news to the people of Indianapolis and those of tha entire state, to know that definite information has been received that President Cleveland will be in this city a part of two days, and not singly nan a uay, as at first reported. Arrangements have been made for him to .rrlve here late In the forenoon of Friday, beptember SO, and he will not leave for St. Louis nntil Batnrday afternoon, October 1, arriving there Sanday morning, October 2. It has not been definitely decided as yet where and by whom Mr. and Mrs. Cleve land will be entertained, but he has inti mated that he will not accept any of the many personal invitations he has received to stop at private residences. It is supposed he has taken Euch a course to avoid thejnecessary damege it would be to the fnrnibhiegs of any home to have it be Edged by a curious and promiscuous ttroBg that will insist on seeing him. It is almost positive that they will stop at one of the hotels where everybody can bave an opportunity of seeing and meeting the President and his wife. A Talk With a Uree)y Sarvlvor. fSan Francisco Examiner. "Yes, I'm Private Connell, ODe cf the six survivors of tbe Greely expedition, and the only one on the coast, but you can't zet an thing out of me about what wa3 done during the last days of starvation and ter ror," was tbe response a reporter met with last evening from the gentleman above named, w"en asked if the published story of murder and cannibalism were true. "All I bave to eay is that I never did anything of the kind. What others may bave done is none of my business, and I don't propose to Kossip about it." "But if they were equally Innocent as yourself, why not say so.'" persisted the reporter. "I tell you I don't want to talk: about the matter at all. It's past and gone, and I'm glad ot it. If an official investigation should be called I'd gladly testify to all I know, so as to clear mvself from any im putations of ever having shot and eaten anybody, i tell you I didn't do it." "Your refusal to say that none of the others did so either will convey the im pression that they did eat their fellows." "I can't help that I'm not testifying before a court, and until that time comes. if it ever does, and I wish it would, I shall ray nothing. Then I should prove that I never ate any of my fellows, nor shot them eitiier." "How long were you without anything to eat?" "A month." "What! you ate nothing for a month?" "Nothing bnt a few lichens I found upon the rocks, and I think I should have beea quite as well without them. The nouri h ment derived from them did not compensate for tbe exhaustion entailed by the effort neceEf ary to secure them." "Don't you know that the instinct of t-elf -preservation under such circumstances would prompt a man to cannibalism? ' "Well, I tell you I didn't do it, what ever the provocation may have been." "But you refuse to say other survivors didn't doit.'"Let them answer for themselves. The fact is that for a Ions time I did not know what they were doing. 1 hardly knew what I was doiog myself. You remember Cspt. Norman, the ice master, saya he found me insensible. I suppose three or four horns would have finished me." " "Then what Capt. Norman says i3 true?" No; I didn't say that- I tell vou T don't know anything about it. You'll have to Und that diary he speaks about." What Salt Is Good For. "When you trive your cellar its spring cleanin?. add a little copperas-water andsalt to the whitewash. Sprinkling salt on the tops and at the bottoms of garden walla is said to keep. snails from climbing up or down. For relief from heartburn or dyspepsia,. drink a little cold water in which has beea dissolved a teaspoonful of salt. Ink stains on linen can be taken out If the stain is first washed in strong salt and water and then sponged with lemon jdico. For weeds In the grass, put a pincn or two cf salt in the middle of each, and, un less a shower washes it off, it will kill the weeds. For stains on the hands, nothing is bet ter than a little salt, with enough lemon juice to moisten it, rubbed on the spots !nd then washed off in clear water-. In a basin of water, salt, of course, falls to tbe bottom; so never soak salt nsh with tbe (kin side down, as the salt wiu rail to the skin and remain there. Salt and mustard, a teaspoonful of each, followed with sweet oi), melted butter or milk, is tbe antidote for Fowlor's solution, white precipitate ox arsenic. For weeds in pavements or a ravel walks. make a strone brine of coarse salt and boilins; water: psjt the brine in a sprink ling can and waier the weeds thoroughly, being careful sot to let any of the brine get on the grass, or it will kill It, to. If a chimney or flue catch on fire, close all windows and doors first, then hang a blanket in front of tbe grate to exclude all air. Water should never be poured down the chironsv. as it spoils the carpets. Coarse salt thrown do wh theflae is much better. It Made Her Weary. I Detroit Free Tress.!
