A Seedless Lemon.
San Francisco Call.

I'll. N. Higgins Of San Diego has in
troduced 8 Seeding lemon Of new yari-
ETY.. The owner seven years ago planted
the seeds of o barrel of rotten lemons re-
ceived from this city, from which four
hundred trees were raised, one of which
produced the lemon mentioned. Speci-
mems of the fruit have q longitudinal
diameter of 81 inches, and transverse
diameter of 81 inches. The thickness of
the skin is about one-aixteenth of All
inch. 1t may very properly be called
a seedless lemon, as only one seed has
been found in the two dozen specimen
thus far tested. In acidity and favor it
is equal to any in the market, and is
pronounced by leading pomologists 9
most important acquisition. The owne
states than no buds are for sale.

The Clergy and Funerals.

The clergy of Troy, N. Y, have re.
sently taken new departure. At a
meeting at which every denomination
was represented but the Roman Catho-
Die, held at Trinity Methodist Episcopal
church, the following resolutions were
unanimously adopted;
/. That burial services be limited az
aat as practicable to scripture reading,
singing and prayer.
II 2. That we depreca'e the appointment
pr funeral services for Sunday.
3. That we also deprecate the public
exposure Of remains.
4. That before the arrangements are
made as to the time and place of the
burial service, the convenience of the
efhciating Clergyman should be con.
sulted.
81 One OF the ministers present submit
bed the following considerations, which
led to the action taken:
1. A proDracted funeral service at the
home, especially where sickness and
death have occurred, is needless ex-
Posure to those in attendance.
2. A protracted service, especially
when the weather is unpleasant or in
element, when those convened are not
warmly clad, increases liability to ex.
posure OF health in going to the grave
and at the time of burial.
3. The scripture lesson and the prayer
40 ordinarily furnish all the counsel and
eonsolation needful.
n 4. 1t is our conviction that but little
Sof good is accomplished by funeral dis
courses, except when the death itself is
Exceptionally impressive.
IL s. Ministers are often embarrassed
and brought 10 degree of discredit by
1nappropriateGess of remarks, by igno-
rance of peculiar features of the Life or
damily OF the deceased, by seying too
little or to much in the view of biased
and prejudieed minds and fear of giving
offence.
Y &. At times deaths are frequent, es-
pecially among the young and infants,
when the delivery of discourse serves
mo purpose that would not be served as
well by prayer, Scripture reading and
private conversation.
z. To omit discourse on some occa-
asions and not ON others would be often
aive to some and suggests the importance
of specific and uniform rules for funer
services.

St. Lonis Republican New York Letter.
The letter writers of Paris give as
startling descriptions of the wonderful
inventions now worn in the shape of jew
elry, but it has been reserved for New
York belle to introduce the ghostly gro
tesque toour notice in the worst form. At
Wallack's last week pretty girl of
twenty wore u hat-her hair pulled and
elsborately carried up, and circiet of
ribbon about it, which she styled an
evening hat. This ribbon Was very wide,
indeed. An enormous bow covered the
top Of the head, bur in the center OF this
bow an ingeniously coDtriyed lizard of
cleaning colors twisted squirmed and
wriggled in hfe.like manner. A more
repulsiye head-dress could not be inns
sgined, and on the eaput of one of the
sisterhood who, in summer time among
our parks, will scream for the police If
only an innocent measuring worm drops
on their bonnets. A friend assures me
that on lady's hat in Paris he saw
dancing, q merry skeleton, made OF white
ensmsl, dangling from golden gjbbet
Tiffany has multitude Of scsrfpins
Oor ladies', some representing rats walk
ing on gold gridirons; big, fat, green
worms on enameled leaves two monkeys
struggling for pearl nut skeletons in
armor and under umbrellas. But the
skeleton of the Paris hat did greater
execution, and should be imported to go
with the brown and red dress detest 40
cordially.

Our Neighbors i'm the Moon.
Providence journal.


A great change is taking place in our
views in regard TO the moon, and it may
be that we are on the eve of discoveries
which will make the century an epoch in
astronomical history. Some American
observers saw not long since crater On
the lunar surface In active operation un-
der conditions as reliable as human Wis.
ion at such distance can be expected to
reach. A French astronomer has made
observations on grander scale; and con-
fdently asserts that the moon is inhabis
ted. M. Camille Flammarion, the
present originator OF this long cherished
idea, is q scientist of honor and renown,
well known for his reputation as an OBJ
server and enthusiastic writer He has
written several articles to prove his po-
sition, and has determined 70 devote his
lite TO this branch of astronomical re-
search. No instruments on the globe
are powerful enough to afford glimpse
of our lunarian neighbors. M. Flamma-
rion is not in the least discouraged at
this apparently insuperable obstacle in
the way of solution Of his problem.
lie is going to have one made that will
exhibit the men in the moon to terress
trial eyes without possibility of nis-
take. He is urgently soliciting contri-
buttons to q fund for an immense teles
scope, whose estimated cost il q million
francs, or 100000. This instrument,
the astronomer believes, will be efectual
in revealing the inhabitants in the neon,
really existing according to his sanguine
faith. Some OF the largest refractors In
the world, If used when the air is pure,
bear a power OF 5000 on the moon
that is, the moon appears as If it were at
distance of eighty miles instead of
100000. 1t car thus be seen that an
immensely increased power would be re-
quired TO detect small objectson the SUR
face. We trust M. Flammarion viii be
successful in collecting funds for his
monster telescope, and that he will pick
up crowds of lunarians through its far
seeing eye before the vision of the pres
ent generation becomes too dim to behold
the long-wished for sight.

THE HOME DOCTOR.

0okE lHE0AT.-A gargle OF salt and
vinegar, with little cayenne pepper,
will do more to dispense soreness of the
throat than any other remedy of which
we have heard. 1t stimulates the glands,
promotes free secretion, and will some
times cure in few hours.
To CURE STIFF NEoK.--Apply over
the place affected piece OF black oilr
cloth, with right side to the skin then
tie up the neck with thick handker~
chief. In short time the part will grow
moist, and, by leaving it thus twelve
hours, the pain will be removed.
THE SICK RooK. An invalid requires
something beside physic. Good nursing
and common-sense rules, gently and
pleasantly enforced, do more toward
recovery than the doctor can. Heat the
sick-room, il possible, by an open CRATE
fire, or wood upon the hearth; the latter
is the best for all modes.
CRAMP IN THE STOMACH. Opium
and other powerful remedies often fail to
relieve cramp in the stomach. Hot
water, sweetened with brown sugar and
taken freely, rarely fails to relieve this
painful trouble. Swift remedies are
always the most desirable, as they do
not disorganize the system or cause reso-
ton.
LONG BRANCH MILK POTATOES
Take good sound potatoes, cut them in
slices (raw), and put the milk, according
10 the quantity you wish to make, in
pudding-dish then, after you have pat.
the potatoes in the milk, put it in the

take out and put potatoes with the same

gether. Apply by gentle friction two or
three times daily.
PoULTICEs.- common practice In
making poultices OF mixing the linseed
meal with hot water, and applying them
directly to the skin, is quite wrong,
because, If we do not wish TO burn the
patient, we must wait until great por-
ton Of the heat has been lost. The
proper method is to take flannel bag
the size OF the poultice required--to fill
this with the linseed poultice IS hot as it
can possibly be made, and to put between
this and the skin second piece OF fan
mel, SO that there shall be at least two
thickneeses of the flannel between the
skin and the poultiee itself. Above the
poultice should be placed more flannel,
or a piece of cotton wool, to prevent 1t
from getting cold. By this method we
are able to apply the linseed meal boiling
hot, without burning the patient, and
the hest, gradually diffusing through the
flannel, affords grateful sense of relief
which cannot be obtained by other
means. There are few ways In which
such marked relief is given to abdominal
pains as by the application of poultios
in this manner.

Early Coinage in the West.

In the good old days out west there
wasn't any money to speak of floating
around from hand to hand. When a
householder wanted meal he scraped hall
a dozen coon skins together and made a
trade. If he wanted meat, he killed il
and if there was need of whisky it was
very poor man who couldn't find a
wildcat bill or bogus half dollar Down
in his pockets.
One day circuit preacher, looking
cor place in which to speak to the dozen
or twenty settlers, halted at iorlorn-
looking cabin beside the trail and asked
for dinner. The squatter's wife extended
a very cordial welcome, and said:
Its lucky you come along to-day, as
/ have got new bag OF meal, lots of
sassafras for coffee, and some of the best
coon mutton you ever tasted Of. Go
down to the ditch and wash up, and I'll
have dinner ready in ten minutes"
When the preacher returned he began
lamenting the hard times, and the iact
that he hadn't seen the sight of money
for several weeks. He was cheerfully
trying to do good, but he frankly cons
fessed that he could do much better If he
could now and then hear the jingle OF
money in his trousers pocket. The wo-
man looked wise, but made no reply, and
by and by the good man resumed his
journey. His horse was picking bis way
along the trail about three miles from
the cabin, when a native, six feet high
and attired in cooneskin cap, hickory
shirt, and Indian Ieggings, came after
him on the run, yelling out. "You

A THIRTY THOUSAND DOLLAR SUIT

An interesting suit for damages WIS begun
in the District Court yesterday. NJ. G. Gard
ner brings suit against Yerington Bliss. of
the Carson and Tahoe Lumber and Flume
Company. The complaint alleges that the
plaintiff entered into a contract with Yerington
+ Bliss in the Spring of 1875 to fur
nish logs for the company. The defend
ants insisted that they should furnish scaler.
This was finally settled upon and Gardner has
supplied the company with logs ever since.
Spaulding's method of scaling was agreed
upon and recently the plaintiff claims to
have discovered that since the Spring of 1875
the defendants have cheated him out of some
5000, 600 cubic feet of lumber, and that there
is balance due him Of over 100000 He
further alleges that the scalsr, o. A. PIERCING,
was the tool of the lumber company, and by
his false measurements caused the loss to the
plaintiff of from Is to 25 per cent. of all the
logs sold The defendants put in a general
denial to the allegations of the plaintiff and
claim to be able to show that the scaling was
properly done, and that the plaintiff has
claim against them. Gardner was in the stand

TURKEYS.


The season of NOR tality among the turkey
is once more at hand. Why thanksgiving
Americas noblest bird has never been salts

eagle be served up with as much propriety as

of liberty might be urged as an objection,
but the system of breeding eagles could easily
be inaugurated and beside creating new in
dustry would furnish the sure means for per-
petuating race Of birds, which it is painful
to remark fast threatens to become extinct.
Some will urge that the toughness of the
mountain fowl might be an Objectionable
feature at select dinner party. This does
not hold for if the American eagle is any
tougher than the thanksgiving turkey, it is
time that the country at large knew it. 1t is
time that Congress knew it, that the repre-
sentations of the blasted bird may be forever
stricken from the face of the circulating coin
of the realm. The life of \ human being
finds its counterpart in a turkey. The fowl
passes through certain stages of chequered
existence and then reaches an inevitable death
The turkey who laughs and grows fat en-
ioying the good things of life as they come and
go is more level in the head than the abstemi-
GUS bird who mortities the flesh and fasts con
tinually, in the hopes that his leanness may
produce indemnity against death. Such a
course only illustrates the frightful foolishness
of the fowl, for clever writer Of modern
of living and shown that in the end the lean
turkey is also SLAIN, and the farmer, by putting
a twelve pound bowlder in his carcass makes
his weight exceed his better conditioned
