Tho Man Who VIII Leap from Mi
agara Fails Suspension Bridge.

Shgslra Fat1S Suspension Brlegc.
From the Buffalo Express, July %.
Mention has been made in the columns
of this paper now and then for some time
past of the contemplated leap of Mr..
Frank Thorne, from the new suspension
bridge at the Falls. Atfirst, the announce
ment, which has appeared in a great many
papers throughout the country, was re-
garded in the light of joke; then people
imagined that there must be some sell
about it, 4. G. little Observation-Disclosures
business, or something of that sort; but
now those who take any intesest what
ever in the matter have settled down to
the conclusion that Mr.. Thorne is some
reckless individual who is 'bOund to
break his neck, anyhow" .
1t makes no especial difference, how
ever, what people may think, the leap is
to be made, and in good, fair and square
manner, as we are assured by Mr.. Thorne,
who leaves this city next Monday for the
Falls, where he viii remain until the time
of the event, which is to occur on Satur-
day afternoon, Aug. IS, at o'clock.
lie jumps from the center of the new
bridge, and will descend distance of 1876
feet.
By actual experiment, it has been as
certained that bodies of any material
weight will reach the water from the
bridge in less that five seconds. A stone
weighing about two hundred pounds de-
seconded in about three seconds. An eX-
ploring canine made the trip, head first,
in a little over five seconds. Another dog,
of a more progressive nature probably,
made the trip in little less time, but eX-
pired on the spot.
Mr.. Frank Thorne, the young man who
is to make this perilous journey, is Buff
falo boy of about twenty-five years of
age, of good stature, modest demeanor,
and courageous disposition. He has tried
his hand at jumping more than once, and
always with success. A few years since
he made leap into the Allegheny river,
in Pennsylvania, of about ninety feet.
lie has tested his lungs, and finds that he
can hold his breadth for thirty seconds,
which will give him ample time TO reach
the water, descend thirty feet and come
up again. The only difficulty that is ex-
perienced is the task of keeping himself
upright in the descent. If he can do
that-and he undoubtedly can for so short
time-his success and the $40, 900 he is
to receive are certain.

ASHES AND TOBACCO JUICE FOR
BUGS ON VINES.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati Ga
'zette says he took common wood ashes
and sprinkled them heavy on the melon
vines, and heavy around the hills, in the
morning early, and the bugs soon disap-
peaTed, and he now has fine patch of
melons. lie says the remedy is equally
effective in cucumber vines. The New
Albany Ind.) Ledger gives the following
bit of experience: .-..
We lately discovered that the young
and tender leaves on some of our small
pear and apple trees were curled up, and
the growth of the trees suspended; and,
upon closer examination we found the
under side of the Curled leaves nearly
covered with little green cOlored lice.
We also discovered q great many small
black ants going TO and from the lice.
a friend suggested the idea that the ants
were using the lice as we use COWS.
But, without further theoriZIng on
the subject, we saw the necessity of re-
moving both the ants and lice. We first
applied lime as well as we could, and it
removed part of them, but not all. We
next tried strong deooetion of tobacco,
prepared by boiling the stems in water.
This we applied by sprinkling it on the
trees, until both the leaves and bodies
were wet, and in few hours all the lice
and ants disappeared We next tried the
same decoctiOn on cucumber and melon
vines, and it drove away all the bugs
about them. We found by pouring some
of the decocti0n around the roots of the
vines that it not only drove away the
bugs and worms that so often infest the
roots of those vines, and cause the de-
struction thereof, but it also acted as q
good fertilizer, causing the vines to IS
sumo healthy appearance, and accelerate
the rapidity of their growth. Having
succeeded SO well with the trees and vines,
we tried our tobacco gravy on some lousy
chickens, and found it acted admirably

''What do you know about Ems, that
figures so much in the cable kilograms
and the European war;" This is one of
the questions growing out of the French
Prussian quarrel. The town of Ems,
long celebrated as a watering place, is
six miles from Coblentz, in the Duchy of
Nassau, and is built on both sides of the
little river Lahu. Slate hills rise almost
perpendicularly behind it, covered with
vine trees and other vegetable products.
Beautiful promenades are formed along
the line of the Lahu, and the enviTons
are attractive, especially on the road to
Nassau, about five miles from Ems. The
view from the highest point of the Nor
shuttle is very picturesque. Coins and
other remains Of antiquity have been
found at Ems, rendering it probable that
it was known to the Romans, who had
great liking for thermal springs, around
which they formed military settlements,
and afterwards built cities. 1t is sup
posed that the baths of Ems were desig-
mated by Pliny. Their use IN modern
times dates as far back as 1895. II was
| to enjoy the waters of this place that the
| King of Prussia went there last month,
| and he was there when the existing diff
cultics began.
The waters of Ems are clear, Colorless
and transparent as crystal, Of mild taste,
alkaline odOr, and they are unctiOus to the
touch. Notwithstanding difference in
| temperature, the different springs, prob
ably thirty in number, which rise on each
side, and even from the bed lf the river,
| are supposed to have one common origin,
as they have the same physical properties
and chemical composition. Their tenn
perature ranges from 50 TO 100 degrees F.,
and they hold in solution chiefly carbonic
acid, bicarbonates of soda, lime and mag
nesia, chloride Of sodium Common salt
and, in minute quantities, bicarbonate of
iron and sulphatcs of potash and soda.
The baths are distributed in five estab-
lishments, which contain cabinets filled
with all the needful appliances for bath
ing at any desired temperature. II issuf-
ficent TO say, without entering into de-
tails, that the diseases, for the cure or re-
lief of which the use of the waters a
Ems, both by drinking and bathing, II
found most beneficial, are chronic ca
tarrhal affections. Some writers speak
with great confidence of their remedia
value in incipient pulmonary tubercle OF
consumption, while others, more sangulne,
or satisfied with less evidence, assure us
that these waters will cure cases of the al
vanced stages of this disease. The IVA
tiers" of Ems, however, Judging from the
recent belligcrent interview between Coun
Beneditti and the King of Prussia Will
taking their drinks, do not seem to i'm
prove the diplomatic temper or conduc
to a peaceable disposition among sover
eigns and their ambassadors.

HOW TO ERADICATE NUT GRAs


George Kidd writes to the Atlanta
Plantation as follows:
Nut grass can be effectually eradi-
Gated by thorough summer following. 1t
is now too late in the season young off
sets are already formed, and will be dor
mant until spring. In November let all
valuable plants be removed from the
space the grass has possession of, the
roots carefully eOdShed and transplanted.
Do not suffer solitary plant to remain
that will interfere with the fallow. As
soon as convenient in spring, break up
the ground deep, and once week, all
through the growing season, cultivate
deep, so that the grass be never suffered
to reach the surface. The tubers will
thus be exhausted, by their repeated, re-
newed attempt. So long as the grass is
kept from the influence of solar light,
the tubers cannot recuperate, cOnse-
quently must perish but if suffered to
show above the surface, for but short
time, the labor is lost"
We have no hesitation in fully indorsing
the above; as, philosophically, it isin per-
feet accord with the remedy we have
frequently prescribed. The grass must
not be permitted to grow. Flowing in,
or chopping off with the hoe as fast as it
makes its appearance above the surface
either will accomplish the work of de-
shuclion. BY keeping down the grass
never permitting spear to grow-the
power sof reproduction is destroyed, no
new nuts are formed, the old nuts die and
rot, and--the pest is exterminsted. Moth
ing can be more certain.

colored, loose fitting and changed often.
4. The entire body should be bathed
every day, either in the morning or at
night. Farmers and others who perspire
freely and are exposed to dust should
battle at night. They viii rest and sleep
better for doing so. The whole body
can be effectually cooled in short time
by holding piece Of ice in the hands, or
letting stream of cold water run upon
the wrists or ankles.
5. Avoid all mental or physical excite
