The Sentinel. [volume] (Trenton, N.J.) 1880-1882, 1881-09-03

Ex-SECRETARY robson has been in
terviewed in regard to the question
of Presidential inability. He takes
the original, and, at first thought,
startling ground that the Vice Presi-
dent himself is the sole Judge of the
time and circumstances under which
the duties of the Presidency devolve
upon him, under the Constitution.
The evidence which he should require
for such decision is the most import
ant element in the case, and this is
also considered with some care by
Mr.. Robson He concludes that the
most satisfactory evidence which
could be furnished of the occurrence
of the contingency of inability pro-
vided for by the Constitution, would
be the statement of the President
himself to that effect. After that the
best evidence would be the certificate
of the attending surgeons, accom-
panied by a notification from the
members of the Cabinet.

and recommended to the Republican

LITERARY. = French Characteristics.
by John A. Ne,cby; published for the
author By B. F. Saunders. Detroit,
Mich, 8vo., paper.
An interesting delineation of the
manners and customs, national pecu-
liarities, patriotism, policy of home
protection, frugality and business tact
OF the French people. The author
style is light and pleasing and his &C
quaintance with the subject thorough.
That he is a Frenchman or at least a
warm admirer of the French people
is evidenced by his eulogistic sketch
of Partisan Sunday. The mechani-
cal execution of the work is excellent.

days and nights. He has often said
to the nurses and physicians that he
was sorry to make them trouble. In
short, he has been the perfect gentle.

The Grain Wee,il.

The weevil (Cdlandra Granari1), IA
military known as wheat weevil, grain
weevil and barn weevil. preys upon all
kinds OF grain in the bin and the corn
crib. This weeyil being quite small, is
liable to be overlooked, particularly in
dark bin. Its mode of operation con-
sists in piercing minute HOES in the
kernel and there depositing its eggs.
from which are hatched small niggots
that eat out the heart OF the grain. The
danger makes itself apparent by
minute white dust spread over the
grain and peculiar oIor that perme-
ates the bins. On pressing kernel
between the fingers II crushes readily,
exposing a mere shell partially filed
with dust instead of a round. plump
grain.
When possible avoid storing grain in
bins that have been infected. When it
is inconvenient to change the place of
storage fumigate the granary thorough
" with burning sulphur. Fumigation
should not only bedone before the grain
is placed in the bins, but repeated in
the course OF u month or two after it
has been stored.
The larve of the weevils that are in
the grain may be DESTROYED b. heating
the grain where one has ovens or
kilns at hand for the purpose. A lit
tie kerosene oil poured into tight
barrel with grain is said to destroy the
weevils, but this course is practicable
when the grain is required for seed only,
as the kerosene Injuries it for making
flour. In addition to the precautions
mentioned is that of changing the place
of storage to cool locality and fire.
quently moving the grain from bin to bin
The grain weevil is often confounded
with the larye of the corn moth that
also attacks stored grain. and with the
maggots OF the wheat
fly that are found in the ears of the grow
ing wheat. The true wheat or grain wee

the female deposits her eggs in the
grain after it is housed. and the young
grubs hatched therefrom borrow into
the heart of the kernel. In due time
these grubs undergo transformation and
come out Of the hulls in the beetle
to lay their eggs for another brood.
To recapituiate. when possible avoid
storing grain in bins that have been
with this pest. II said bins
must be employed. fumigste thoroughly
