How to DESTROY the Tobacco Fly.

The New York 7oJacco Leqf urges
earnestly tobacco growers to try the
following method of destroying the to-
bacco fly: Plant Unison weeds through
and around the field, three or four
plants in a clump, about the time the
tobacco plants are set out. When the
iimson blossoms, put three or four
drops of cobalt solution, which can be
had at any drug store, into each bloom
every evening; the fly will suck the
poison, which is certain death. To
make the cobalt solution, dissolve one
ounce in a pint of warm water, put into
II corked bottle with a quill inserted in
the cork. Every morning, after using
the solution, the bloom charged the
previous evening should be pulled off,
rs the poison will reach the stalk and
kill the weed. If our farmers would
club together and agree to use this rem.
edy, the result would be, in a very few
seasons, if faithfully used, every field
would be comparatively free from the
pest known as the tobacco worm.

important Railway Decision.

An important railway decision has re.
ceived affirmation by the New FORK
Court of Appeals. Dorathe Rawson
sued the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany to recover $4,000 for loss of bag
gage. In behalf of the defense it was
insisted that, as there was condition
printed on the ticket upon which the
plaintiff was riding at the time of the
loss that the company would not be
liable to exceed 500, she could not re
cover more than that sum. On the trial
below, the plaintiff obtained judgment
for "a 900, and the Court OF Appeals
have affirmed that judgment. The de
cision maintains, us law, that the clause
on railroad tickets limiting the loss to
500 for baggage docs not SO limit such
10 $. This is decision Of long-mooted
question.

How to Extract Coffee.

A scientific paper says " If coffee,
after roasting, were made as fine us
flour by pounding in a mortar, it could
be extracted as much better us to re
quirc no more than two-ttths as much
Us if it were only coarsely ground. An
equally strong extract can be made by
allowing water to stand on the grounds,
as by giving it a boil or by tiltering
through it. The latter method is the
true one for retaining all the aroma.
When coffee beans are roasted, an EN-
pneumatic oil is produced, which, being
very volatile, is expelled if the coffee
extract be boiled. 1t is better to make
