Our agricultural statistician eays that the large crop of potatoes which was grown last year in almoet all districts o! production resulted in low prices and consequent disappointment to growers. From this cause the acreage this year in New England, in the states of tha central AY est, and in toe mountainous region a will be considerably reduced, tbe breadth th us freed being given to corn in tbe East and to Tarious other crops iu the West. This is the old story of chasing the markets, and it proves that some of us are slow to learn from experience. "When the price of one product is low, the temptation is to cut loose from it and take up some one that id hiph, thus forgetting that we are going with the crowd, and that the increased acreage will make the price low the next season. When the majority are dropping tbe production f a certain kind of stock or grain or vegetable, it is usually a (rood time to increase one's facilities for its production. It is an old rule that high-priced Beed produces a low-priced crop, and it is bated on this erv human trait of chafing the markets. When potatoes are worth $1 a bushel, ail want to plant, and the succeeding crop is usually enormous. When potatoes are very low, acreage is very often reduced, and the men who have a good rotation and stick to it find themselves with usual acreage when prices are hijrh. It is true that potatoes may be low this fall, but the chances for fair prices are much Letter than they would be had potatoes brouzht very high prices last year. Fairview Farm Papers o. 8. Dr David. The rainy season has interfered with the cultivation of crops on the farm to quite an extent this spring, but we have managed to keep the fields tolerably clean of weeds. I find that it requires more cultivators torai.se a crop in a wet season than in a dry one, and as we lose so much time on account of wet weather, the work pushes hard when tillage is possible. Tbe rains pack tha ground and a cruat forms very quickly, that a crop eulTers unless it is cultivated as soon after rains a3 posfciMe. Tho only way to keep up with the work is to have a little more work than one likes to keep, and then have harrows and other tools for raiid surface cultivation. One cannot have everything as he would wish, as teams and toola are costly, but it does not pay to till more than we can do well. I use the hnrrow at least twenty-four hours sooner after a rain than I would a deep running cultivator, and a harrow or wecder need in time is a grand slayer ot weed. It we can keep the harrows going the fields will star eleau, but a slant tooth one or a weeder can doiittlo if rains keep one out of the field until the weeds are an inch hiüh. The hoe is goinn out of date on most level farinH, hut I use it in euch a eason as this. The harrows cover pome Lille, and a few weeds escape uprooting, and it pays big to follow with the hoe. Much of the corn is now too high for even ioni; slant tootlied harrows, and the cultivators are run very shallow in the loosest part of two fields at least hrdf a day before we could plow deep in more K.id ground. The chief point we observe is this. Kvory hour counts in a rainy s-ssor., and it pays to watch the drying Ot t't.e noil closely. We toun I a time dry enough to pive our potatoes a ciopy aud deep plowing when the plants were very email, and now a l'Lint, jr.,one-horee cultivator is run about two inches deep between tbe rows as soon as the god permits between the rains. With a two-horse cultivator, one horse is too apt to walk near tho rows and daraaeo the crops if the noil underneath is not very dry, but a careful man can drive one good horse nearly exactly in the center of the middle, and this lets us bgin cultivation a iitt'e sooner than we otherwise could. The cold wet weather lias kept the eggs of the buz from hatching well, and we have had no trouble yet. but the present hot ttavs are bribing theiu, and when pprayiiikr with the Bordeaux mixture I will add Paris green. The rainy Reason will probably bring EOtne blight, if wo have hot weather after harvest, and the spraying mav pay big. It is a matter wo cannot iecide uniil the eeason is over, but the eafo way is to spray. O'ir lnawt Knenalea. Thrre are few supposed evils that are not without their compensations. The wet t-eanun has delayed planting and interior-, d with the tii'aee of crops to quite a serious degree in some sections of our country, but there is a reason to believe that our insect foes might have played havoc this year had it not been for the rains. Few injects thrive in wet weather, tin 1 the continued rams have prevented them from increasing in numbers suff.rient to rio r.ny great daniago so far, and have probably eo crippled them that little need be feared this year. This is a tide of the question rarely eoriHi.iered. but there is nothing more disheartening to a farmer than tie attacks of in-erts upon crops that have had j erfect tillage, by reason of fine, dry weather. Were it not for " an occasional season of great rainfall our crops would be at the mercy of couutleps foes; as it is, their number is kept reduced. The chinch bug made some inroads upon crops last year in many places, and the effects of a dry spring were greatly feared, but that danger is well passed. While we now hope for fair weather and a good growing season, we will bear in mind that some evils have been averted whose ejects would have been werte than a very rainy spring time. Clean Wheat. Clean eeed wheat should always be sown, but too often the cleaning is neglected and cockle, rye and chess are sown with it. If this has been done, or if Buch filth is in the soil and springs up with the wheat, now is the time to make the fields clean. For roanv years the writer has made it his practice to go over the fields once or twice, cutting out all weed-growth that would bear seed before wheat harvest. It is not a big task if fields are ordinarily clean. In many fields throughout the country burdock has gained a hold, and when this is the caa'j the work of cleaning must be done several weeks before harvest, as this weed forma seed early. Cockle is most easily seen when in bloom, and rye can be seen 0 eoon as it heads out, being much talier than the wheat. One man can clean from six to twelve acres of wheat in a day, and it seems strange that so many farmers will continue to harvest and market foul wheat when it can be made searly absoChildren Cry for

lutelyilean at small cost. This method ia the eaiest and surest ovo of cleaning wbeat for seed, as two or three acres can be setaside for seed, and 1 wili pay for the hor of taking every stalk of fouletuIF out oit. Of coure wheat may he so foul that he cleaning would require a very large tutlay of money, but I write of average wieat 'fields. Try this plan once and you nil be eure to adopt it. Thee is another valid reason for harvesting no filth with wheat. The straw shouM go into manure, and any weed seeds it only befouls the fields on which the wnure is spread. One objection often rade to barnyard manures is that they pomote extension of weed growth. Thi'a ned not bo the case. If fodder or clean kiy is fed, and the straw bedding is clear o weeds seeds, the manure will be clean. We cannot successfully fight weed growttuntil we cease harvesting the seed and sc ttering it over the e;da. Spraylnc Potatoes. The potato blight and rot is a fungus diseaa that is yearly growing in importance. The first indication of its presence is the ippearance of pule, yellowish spots upon he leaves. If the weather is warm aud vat the spots soon become black and the d-ease extends to the steins. From the stnis the disease goes into the tubers and rt results. For several years experiment have been made with copper solutions upon potatoes, and it ia an aeccrtaind fact that the so-called Bordeaux i in ix tiro is a preventive of the disease. Ilowiver, it mu(t be applied in time, as it checls and prevents, but cannot cure. i It las also been ascertained that blight is mrch more prevalent than is ordinarily supprse J. Potato vines often die very rapidl,-, and while no rot follows, the erowtl of the tubers is greatly checked. It saeas to be the rule, rather than the exception, in warm and hot summers that the pohto crop ripens prematurely. Y.xperimerts have shown that sprayed rows in a tied stay green several days longer than ui:prayed ones when the weather is not d'y and cool. The tpplication is easily made with a knapsack sprayer. The ecray being very fine and constant tho work can be done rapidly. The formula for the diluted Bordeaux Mixture is four pounds sulphate of copper, four pounds lime, with eut'icient water t4 form fifty gallonä of the mixture. Dissolve the copper sulphate in two gallons of hot water, letting it eland a low hours. Mack the quick lime and cool it with vatcr. After straining the limo solution mix with the copper solution and add the water needed to form fifty gallons in all. Four or five applications should be given, about two weeks a part, beginning when plants are email in order to make sure ot being in time. If the bugs are on the pltntsadd six ounce? of I'arie green or London purple to each fifty gallons of the solution. Tbo Squash llorer. The moth that lays the epgs from which the borers are hatched begins its work about the middle of June. The eggs are laid on the stalks of the young plant near the ground. As the borers enter the stalks eoon as hatched, it is neariy impoeeibl to kill them with poisons. They work along the center of the vine and their existence is first suspected when the vine, after making a good growth and setting fruit, begins to wilt and die. The be.st way of fighting this pept is by destroying tbe eezs. As soon as the moth begins to deposit the eggs growers should rub each stalk near the surface with the hand, thus casiiy ma3hing the eggs. Ag they do not hatch in less than eight or ten davs when undisturbed this operation need not be repeated oftener than once a week. (Growers who have given up tho borer in de-

tpair should give this remedy a fair trial and they will be pleased with the results. This is the most dreaded diseaee of pear orchardists. It is due to the presence of microbes that enter through the soft tissues of new limbs an J leaves, or through the cracks in the bark of the older branches. Rapid growing varieties of the penr are mot liablo to attacks, as the limbs are eoft and watery. Fortius reason, also, land rich in vegetable matter is not df irablo for pear trees, the growth being too rapid. Very light soils are equally bad, as drocths check growth and the trunk or larger limbs crack, and thus furnish entrance or the germs. It is b(-6t to chose &low growing varieties, and apply mineral manures that will ßäsiat in ripening the wood fast as grown. Head the trees low to protect them from the heat of tho enn. Mulch th ground with straw in case of drouth to prevent checing o growth. These are the chief known preventives, the only known cure being the knife. It ia quite possible that continual spraying with some fungicide misht prove a preventive, but this is a yet unproven. Slow, firm and steady growth of the wood and protection of the trunk from the eun are tho objects to be kept in view. The Plank Draff. No farm implement cives letter returns in work in proportion to cost than the plank drag. In many capes it does much better work than the roller and costs hardly one-tenth as much. It grinds and pulverizes clods that the roller only cracks or siuit8 into the ground. Every farmer is able to have a drag, as they are easily made, and tbo only material needed is a few boards, two cross pieces and a dozen bolts. The lapping of the boards gives a grinding surface, and if such implements cost ten fold more their work would be moro highly prized. For preparation of fields for spring crops they are better than the roller, because they do not pack the eoil so much and pulverize much, better. The common and other harrows pull the clods to the surface, and this implement then makes them a perfect seed bod. It seems strange that eo many farmers find it possible to get along without them. There are a few that would not use them if they had them. fcweet Potato. It is quite a common belief that sweet potatoes and Irish potatoes are closely related, tbe belief being founded on the name common to both ; but botanically they are not of the same "family," the name having been given by early navigators to this country because of their similarity of outward appearance. The sweet potato belongs to the "morning glory" family, and the edible parts are only enlarged roots of the plants, while the Irish potato is a tuber or underground stem and does not perform the f uction of a root at all. While the sweet potato thrives best in more southerly latitudes it has becooca an important item in our food supply. There has been very little experiment to determine the character of the fertilizers needed by the plant and the number of varieties is limited ag compared with that of most vegetables. In Louisiana the crop of last vear was estimated at 2.&S9.000 bushels. The experiment station has been testing varieties and mode of culture. It finds that the best development ia obtained in a sandy loam, fairly fertile, particularly in phosphoric acid and potash. Too much nitrogen causes vine growth at the expense of the roots. A dressing of 300 pounds of acid phosphate gave the best results. Fresh barnyard manure causes the potatoes to grow rough and unshapely. As to distance of setting the slips in the rows. Pitcher's Castorlä

experiments were made with those set eight, twelve, tiftoeii and eighteen inches apart, and the rows set fifteen and eighteen inches apart gave tbe best results, the latter exceeding those sot eight inches by tx per cent. ,

It appears to be a matter of surprise with southern growers that varieties they most estesrn for their eating qualities are not popular in the northern markets. They prefer the sugary yam, a potato that is syrup when cooked, while in the .North the dry, etarchy varieties have the preference, as the market price declines. The orth prefers a dry, mealy, sweet potato, while such a potato is considered unpal atable in the iouth. In a late bulletin of a southern state growers are advised to out their "mealy" potatoes in pits, where they often in time become "palatable." Unaoundue in Horse. What is an unsound horse? It is some times said that no animal, man or brute, is perfectly eound, yet warranties of soundness in horses are frequently given, homo years ago an Kngliea judge delivered an opinion on this point, and it has been quoted in our courts frequently. He Faid: If, at the time of the sale, the h orae has any disease which either does diminish the natural usefulness of the animal, so as to make him less capable of work of any description, or which in its ordinary progress will diminish tho natural usefulness of the animal; or if the horse has either from disease or accident undergone any alternation of structure that either actually does at the time, or in its ordinary effects will, diminish the natural usefulness of the horse, such horse is unsound." It would thus seem that the natural usefulness of the animal is the basis of tbe comparison. A warranty of soundness, however, has naught to do with vices which may render a horad perfectly useless. Tbo Fnrro Pog. Dogs aro charged with the killing of $4,000,000 worth of sheep each year. Many wool growers believe that, like the Indian, the only good dog is tho dead one. So much has been written in late years against this animal that we may soon expect to see state legislatures enact laws that will tend to its termination. 1 he cry is that dogs do not pay, that they do more harm than good and that progress in civilization means the extermination of the whole canine race. Tho often senseless ecaro of hydrophobia and the just demands of the wool growers are creating this sentiment. The writer admit? that half the dogs are worthless and should be legislated out of existence, if this is possible without wronging the owners of animals that are deserving of life. Tho well-trained dog is a noble animal and sets an example of fidelity to friends worthy oi human imitation. It is a feature of the farm, the enemy of vermin, the protection of tbe household, the stockman's assistant and the children's playmate. The existence of worthless curs should not bo a menace to the safety of all such noble animals. Let legislation regard the rights of all by providing for the safety of all homekeeping animals and the speedy destruction of all vagrants. The enforcement of such laws would protect wool-growers and the rest of the public, and then there would be a stop to this cry that the dog, no matter how faithful, must go. Tho isolated farmer's family wants a good dog. While he stays at home his right to live should be questioned by none not his owner. Wtien he goes racing after game and what-not through his neighbor's llocks of sheep he should be killed on the spot. Simple and exact justice is all we ask for this friend of the human race. ITealth Hinte. Bee Stings and "Poison" from Vines aro much relieved and sometimes cured by mopping the injured part with tho same alkaline preparation Ufed for sweating, but the strength should be doubled for the same amount of water. Sweating Feet Mrs. M. Searlea writes to the I'hUa'ii ij'hia lit cord giving a remedy for sweating feet, which is both simple and harmless. She eays: "One-fourth teappoouful of alum should be put into just enough water to cover the solas of the feet; the feet should be kept there half an hour." For Tired and Tender Feet. After a weary day of tramping, when tho burning, itching and aching of the feet aro intolerable, no more grateful remedy can be offered than alcohol. Wioh the feet in hot water or cold, whichever is the more soothing, thoroughly dry and tb;n Bponga off the cleansed surface with equal parts of alcohol and cold water, permitting the feet to dry without wiping. To Remove the Odor of Perspiration. Bathe the parts with an alkaline preparation, preferably ammoniam solutions. The ''Aromatic Spirits" or the "Household ammonia," a teaipoonful ot ether, added to ft pint of bathing water, is sufficient usually, or a teaspoonfnl of borux to a quart of watr. Iu all attempts to remove odors of whatsoever kind always remember to use cold water. Hot water fixes the scent. I'rove it by throwing a perfumed handkerchief in which the odor is tcarcely perceptible into hot water and you will quickly find the odor quite pronounced. Another scented handkerchief placed in cold waiwr afterwards give on" little or no perfume. Athletic Training It stands to reason that methods which will put the muscles in good trim for athletes are not without value for other persons who deeire to keep, to acquire or to restore bodily vigor. Mr. David Talmage of the Amherst class of 'MO, lays down a ft wholesome rules, as follows: 1. Take plenty of light work rather than a small amount of violent exertion, for the muscles should be developed without using too much of the energy needed for the competition, bpeaking in an athletic nse, training is a course of preparation calculated to bring the human body into its best condition for performing a particular physical taskr. This, of course, must necessarily vary according to the particular end sought and the physique of the individual. In general we may eay that the amount f work should vary in proportion to one'e weight heavy men needing more than light to put them in trim. J. All athletes should take plenty of exercise and spend much time in the open air. The man is healthiest who has the best blood, not he who has the biggest bi ceps. Muscle means nothing in itself. It is not rally strength in the sense of stamina. What is needed is a sound body, and this is wholly dependent on a good circulation. Good blood is not altogether a result of good food, but it is fostered by the inhalation of pure air to the lungs and purified by the exhalation of waste matter through the pores of the skin. 3. As to diet: Indulge in varied food; not too much of one thing. Pou't overeat. It is bet to drink water sparingly. One can easily accustom himself to half glass at a meal, and not drink at all between times. This, with the water which is in the food, will be found to be amply sufficient. 4. More than ordinary slenp is needed where more than ordinary energy is spent. The athlete who is accustomed to rise about 7 or 7:30 should make it a point to be in bed at 10. Care must be taken that thero is sufficient covering to keep tho body warm, as cold will prove exhausting. Lastly, a word about hatha. The best is cold water, which should be ustd imme diately after the daily exerciee. A hand ful of salt thrown into a pail of water will make an invigorating wash. The body should then bo carefully rubbed with a

rough towel and dry clothing put on, as there is great danger of contracting a cold at this time when the pores aro open. A ! mild liniment thoroughly rubbed into tho skin after the drying will prove very stimulating. A man may know when he is in good condition by his own feelings and the state of his skin. If he has been properly trained this latter will be firm, elastic and well colored, and there will be an entire absence of "that tired feeiing." When a child or a grown person begins to breath with the mouth open there must exist some sufficient cause for the occurrence in the uppermost air passages. No one would voluntarily exchange the only healthy, comfortable nuanner of breathing through the nose for the burdensome and unbealthy breathing through the mouth. .Let anyon attempt to breathe through the mouth for five minutes, instead of, as one is accustomed, through

the nose, and he will soon b convinced that it ia almost impossible. Almost of itself, that is, without muscular force, through the mere pressure of the air. the mouth closes and the original manner of breathing is resumed. Whoever snores can, as a rule, not breathe through the nose. That it would be useless in such cases to desire to close the mouth mechanically is entirely comprehensible. Every mother, who fre quently gives to her child the useless com mand close your mouth, is aware ox this. Here it is better to seek without dlay the advice of an experienced specialist in order to determine the cause of this mouth-breathing. In the case of children, in particular, an unnecessary delay might prove fatal. Now there are certainly cases in which the cause of this habit may be determined and the habit 6till remain. But these are the exceptions ; as a rule normal breathing results as soon as the air enters the correct passages; if the snoring and the breathing through the mouth returns as an evil habit then, and only then, can mechanical means be used with advantage to stop this opening of the mouth. Tho simplest and oldest of these is to place a band from the chin to the top of the head. This often suffices. As the mouth remains closed by pressure of the air, some cf the mechanical appliance to produce this elfect might be used. Sometimes it is even sufficient to place a piece of celluloid plate between the teeth, but one would not lightly decide to place a foreign substance in the mouth of a sleeper, particularly a restless child. All of these apparatus must be put on every evening and worn over night, until tho normal position of the lips and lower jaw is regained. But the most important thing is to remove the obstructions to normal breathing. Dr. E. Bloch in Schoner' t Familienblatt Berlin). Breathe Through the Nose Neither man nor animal breathes through the mouth normally. The only natural way for respiration and inspiration is through the nose. When we breathe through the nope the cold, dry, impure outward air ia sufficiently warmed, supplied with watery vapor and freed from dust. When we breathe through the nose, smelling at the same time through our organ of smell, which assists respiration, we become aware of the presence of an injurious or of a generally abnormal mixture drawn in by tha breath, and can then either correct so unfavorable an atmosphere or escape from it. Furthermore, only in the nose are fouud those fine arrangements which can prevent the entrance of injurious substances into the deeper respiratory organs (larynx and lungs) and thus 6top tbe further advance of the hostile body, painful smoke, irritating dampness, thick dust, etc., besides defying that which has already slyly eliectud an entrance. This is done by the so-called nasal reflex breathing, to which class belongs sneezin g If we breathe through the - mouth the air is neither sufficiently warmed nor satisfactorily moistened, and laden with all its bad mixtures of dust and mineral, animal and vegetable origin, added to injurious gases, reaches the Iarnyx, tbe air tubes of tho lungs. Snoring is only the least among the evil consequences of breathing through the mouth. The swollen, sore, constantly-chapped lips, bad condition of the front teeth and decay of tho back ones, a defective development of the sense of smell, frequent inflammation of the throat, attacks of fever, diphtheria and catarrh and soreness of the laynx and lungs are consequences of breathing through the mouth which have been freqently observed. In children one often sees an habitual and peculiar weak or even etup-'d expression of countenance. It has als been found, through the experiments o' different trustworthy observers, that there is a casual connection between stammering and breathing through the mouth. On the other hand, however, certain forms of nightmare and asthma are causes of breathing through the mouth. That infants are somtimes brought almost to death's door, when prevented by a cold from breathing through tho nose, is a fact well known to phyeciaus. Toothsome DUbe. Orange Custard Take a pint of orange juice, into which the juice of one lemon has been Bqueezed. Tut to it the yolki of three eggs very well beaten, a pound cf granulated sugar and the grated peel of one orange. Stir these over a slow fire till they are just ready to boil, then pour into custard cups. Beef Kidney Stew Wash, remove all bits of ekiu and fat, cut into small pieces and soak in salt and water for an hour or more; brown a lump of butter inaetew pan ; drain the kidney and put it in a stew pan ; nearly cover it with water and allow it to cook glowly for two hours; thicken with a little flour and butter ; serve hot on tOd3t. Queen's Fancakes Two eggs, one tablespoonful butter, two cnpfuls flour, one and a half cupful milk. Beat the eggs, add to them the milk slightly wanned, the butter melted, a little salt and tho flour. Bake in cukes ou a griddle, and when done epread them lightly with jam, jelly or honey, roil up, eprinkle witheugar and serve hot. Fried Spring ChickenClean, joint and soak in salt and water for two hours; put in a frying pan equal quantities of lard and butter, in all enough to cover the chicken; dip each piece in beaten egg, roll in cracker crumbs and drop in the boiling fat; fry till brown on both sides; serve on a hot platter, garnished with parsley ; pour the most of the fat from the frying 1an, and thicken the remainder with irownod flour, adding to it one cupful of boiling water. Baked Omelet Beat separately and extremely light tbe yolks and whites of three eggs, and then stir together until they are partially mixed. Add half a teaspoonful no more of cornstarch dis solved in three tabiesDOOnfuls of milk and a little salt. Pour into a well-buttered baking dish and cook in a quick oven for from five to eight minutes, or until firm. Serve immediately. When a very small omelet is required, a single egg may be preparad in the same manner and baked in a good sized scallop shell. The quantity of milk and cornstarch must o! course be reduced in proportion. Kice and Raisin Tie Boil half a cup of rice in two quarts of water until tender, or for about twenty minutes. Drain until thoroughly dry. Beat four eggs until light. Add half a cup of sugar and beat aguin ; then add one pint of milk, one tablespoonful of vanilla and the boiled rice. Line two pie dishes with good light paste, cover the bottom of the dishes with seeded raisins. Fill with the rice mixture and bake in a quick oven about thirty minutes, or until th custard is solid. Beat

the whites of two eggs until light, add two tables poonfuls of powdered sugar and beat again until very stilT. Spread a thin coveriug of this mixture over the pie, duat with powderod sugar, put back in tbe oven and bake until a golden brown ; serve when cold. Chicksn Pates Chop meat of cold chicken fine; season with salt; make a large cupful oi rich drawn butter, and whilo on the fire add two hard boiled eggs minced fine, a little chopped parsley, and the meat of a chicken ; let this mixture almost boil; have ready some pate pans ot good rich paste; remove the covers with the edge of a knife; fill in with the mixture, and arrange on a hot platter; in baking the crust it is a good plan to fill in with a square of stale bread, which is easily removed as eoon as it comes from the oven. . This keeps the crust from falling flat, as it would otherwise do without the chicken mixture. A Boiled Turnover Make a crust of one quart of flour, three teaspoonfuls of baking powder, a small spoonful of salt, two tablespoon fuls of butter and sweet milk enough to make a dough to roll. Itoll the cruat a quarter of an inch thick, in an oblong sheet, and epread with fruit ; one quart of chopped apples, canned fruit, jam, preserves, marmalades or fresh fruit in its season. Sprinkle well with sugar and roll up. Lap the end over like the ilap of a pocketbook, pinch the ends firmly together. Put in a bag similar in shape, but larger; then boil for on hour and a half. Serve hot with cream and sugar or sauce, cut in slices. Chicken Broiled in the Oven From a young chicken cut a drumstick and second joint, or, if the invalid perfers light meat, the wing and part of the breast. Should there be any doubt as to the tenderness of the chicken lay a piece on a gridiron or toaster resting over a pan of boiiing water, set on top of the stove and let it steam, closely covered, for half an hour before broiling. This done, lay the portion in a cleam, warm dripping-pan, and set this in a moderately hot oven ; turn two or three times, rubbing with butter at each turn, until the chicken is done. It is claimed that the juices are preserved more thoroughly by this mode of cooking than by broiling over an open fire. ABOUT WATCHES.

What the State Sentinel Can Do for You and. "Where the Reader Can Save Money. Everybody knows that there is a focalled watch trust for tbe purpose of keeping up prices, also to keep newspapers from handling them. The Sentinel, however, has been able to get ahead of tho trust, and is enabled to furnish fine filled gold watches at wholesale prices. A filled case for all practical purposes is just as good as a solid gold watch. It will wear a life-time, and in cape of its being stolen the loss is not so great. SOME OF OUR BARGAINS. No. 5.

The Sentinei, does not keep the watches on hand neither do we furnish any other make or kind. Just the watches advertised are all that we can sell. The readers of The Sentinel never had an opportunity to get first-clavs watches at anv such prices as the above, and after this etock: is sold they will probably not soon have 6uch a chance again. This offer is open only to subscribers to The Indiana State Sentinel. One of these watches will make a handsome birthday present for your wife, your Bister, your daughter, or your sweetheart; for your husband, your father, your brother or your son. In order to avoid confusion and mistakes the watches should be ordered only by their numbers, thus it is only necessary to Bay: "Send watch No. 8 (or whatever number is desired) to the following address."

DEATH OF EMMONS BLAINE.

HE EXPIRES VERY SUDDENLY AT CHICAGO. It Coin a a Sorprl, Not Er.n lit Far tnti or lntlm.u Friend Using Avil of UU Condition Causa, Blood-PoUootng A Groat Shook to Ex-Sicrotary and Mr, ltlaiaa. Chicago, June IS. Emmons Blaine, son of ex-Secretary Blain, died today at 11:15 a. in. Blood poiioning, the result of inflammation of the bowel, was tbe cause. The fact of young Mr. IUaine' death waa concealed for looie time after be had actually paised awny, the object being to reach the father first with some gentler intimation of the tad new. E3orta to get telegraphio communication with the exsecretary failed, however, aud about 12:15 the now of tho death leaked out. It waa not until about a quarter of an hoar prior to the fatal moment that the least intimation that Mr. Blaine was in a dangerous condition became known and then only to a few. At his otiioe in the Baltimore & Ohio railroad headquarters is this oity his associates were only aware that ho was ill and had been so for several day. Reporters were sent to tho Blaine residence, 15 Rush-st., but while they were informed that the patient's ailment had assumed a fatal form, no other information could be gained for the time being. Young Mr. Blaine was a notable figure in the exciting convention scenes at Minneapolis that resulted in his father's defeat He took the resalt greatly to heart aud was confined to his rooms shortly after hi return from the North. Daring the eonvention he seemed in perfect health, and no one who heard of his sadden passing away was more shocked than those who saw him participating in caucuses early aud late night and day in his father's interest. It is thought possible by many that the strain and excitement at Minneapolis, followed by the disappointment of the outcome, hud not a little to do with the physical prostration ensuing. The death scene took place in the great brown stone mansion of the McCormiek family on Rush-st. The wife, Mrs. Lmmons Blaine, and the couple's two-year-old son, McCormiek Bla;ne, were the only persons present besides Mrs. Cyrus McCormiek, young Mr. Blaine's mother. Death came so swiftly, whan it d.d tome, that tbere was no time to summon the other members of the McCormiek family, Mr. and Mrs. W. G. McCormiek, who were ia the house at tho time. Ineffectual efforts were made continually throughout the night and today to reach Mr. James G. Blaine and Mrs. Blaine by telegraph to convey tbe intelligence of their son's precarious condition. The family left Augusta, Me., several days ago for Bar Harbor, Mr. Blaine's summer seat, bat it was impossible to effect the delivery of a teleirram either to Mr. Blaine or anyone who could transmit the message to him. The New York and Boston representatives of the McCormiek company were instructed to exert every endeavor to convey the information to some member of Mr. Blaine' family or to Mr. Cyrus McCormiek, who went to Xw York some days ago, but up to tbis afternoon the efforts had arailed nothing. The first confirmation of the fact of death was given by one of the attending physioiaos, Dr. Billings and Dr. Alport. Tbe statement was simply: "Mr. Kmmous Blaine died at 11:15 o clock of septicemia (blood poisoning) due to disease of the bowels." Emmons Blaine at the time of his death was vice-presideut of the B. & O. i ailroad, and had until quite recently resided at Baltimore, coming to Chicago to take charge of the western interests of the company. His wedding in New York late to Miss Anita McCormiek, daughter of the great reaper manufacturer was a social event of the first magnitude. They have had only one child, the infant wko was at the bedside when the father died. Before being connected with the It. A O. he served in less conspicuous places than the vice-presidency. Mr, Blaine was at didereut times in the service of the West Virginia Central, the Chicaro Sc Northwestern and the Atohison, Topeka fc anta Fe. During the entire week of the Minneapolis convention it is said Ltntaons Blnine hardly gave himself a single thought. He scarcely slept an hour and he was under intense nervous strain. Last atorday he returned to Chicago greatly exhaustad and somewhat indisposed. He attributed his slight gastric and intestinal derangement to overwork and laaghed at anxiety of friends. On Monday he felt much better and left his residence for a short time though he was far from welL On Tuesday he felt rather worse and remained indoor the greater part of the day, though not taking his bed. On Wednesday, however, symptoms began to annoy him considerably and that night he retired unmistakably ill. Dr. Billings and Dr. Alpoero diaenosed the case and at once discovered the gravity of his malady. Intussusoeption of the intestine had already developed and the cae was deemed all but oritioal. The bestjtuethods of proceedure were resorted to end it was believed that Mr. Blaine' exceptionally vigorous condition would enable him to bullle the dangerous ailment. No alarming disturbance made itself evident on Thursday, and the family entertained no apprehension, ia fact, only Mrs. Blaine knew the exact nature of Mr. Blame's illness. Friday noon, however, there was a sudden elevation of temperature and the physicians knew that their etlorUh&4 not availed to adrert the dreaded outcome. A SORROWlNQ HO USB HOLD. The News at SUnwnnd The Blalnes Leave Cor Cblosfa. BAB HAEB0R, Me., June 13. The only occupants of Staawood, Mr. Blaine's summer home, tonight were the Coppinger boys and servants. Tbe first intimation that Emmone Blaine was ill waa a telegram which reached Stanwood just after breakfast this morning, saying Lmmons was ill Wednesday, but was out Thursday. This was followed shortly after by a message saying ho waa dangerously ill. About noon a third dispatch stated that ha waa growing wort and the doctor said that unless there was a change in twenty-four hours there was no hope. Upon the first new of hi serioua illness preparationa were made to leave on tbe first train. Between 1 and 2 o'clock this afternoon came word qt hi death. Mrs. Blaine was frantio with grief and the whole family greatly prostrated, hniraons Blaine had many friends at Bar Harbor and the news spread rapidly. Kxpressions of sympathy are beard on every hand. Nearly half an hour before the ferry steamer was to leave, the ex-secretarr, accompanied by Mrs. Blaine and Miss Hatlie Blaine, arrived at th wharf. The whole party reamed overwhelmed with sorrow. Mr. Blaine was very pale and walked with a quick, agitated step. Mrs. Blaine, who leaned upoo Lis arm. gave way to her sorrow, sobbing and moaning aloud. The party took seats in the pilot Louse as the boat left the wharf at 3 o'clock. Mr. Blaine sat with bowed head and his hat palled down over hi eyes. The party will be joined in New York by Mrs. Dnmroschaud go directly through to Chicago. No plans for the future have been deoided upon up to time of their departure, the only thought of the family being to reach Chicago as quickly as possible. badlKM at tit Capital. Wasiitxgtok, Jane 18. The few senators and representatives at the capital today beard with profound regret and surprise of th sudden death of Emmons Blaine. Without regard to party or faofiou they Lad only words et earnstt sympathy for the bereaved father and the family of the deceased. The senators who knew Emmons Blaine spoke in the highest term of Li personal characteristics and business ability. He bad, they said, taken no part in publie adairs prior to the Minneapolis eonveution, but the energy. shrewdness and ability displayed by him in bis business pursuits were guarantees lor a bright future had hesurvired. Several of the senators were extremely solicitous as to the effect of this culminating blow upoo the ex-secretary of state, ooming as it does so soon after other heavy bereavements and domestic afflictions. The expression of ympathy for Mr. and Mr. Blame in their bereavement were universal, and messages ot condolence have already been sent from friends here to the stricken family.
