Grating the Grape.

Vine growers should not forget
that winter is the proper season to
graft the grape. They should al
ways be grated few inches below
the surface and just above the col.
lar of the vine, using no wrapping.
Care should be taken to make the
scion and stock fit as perfectly as pos>
sible, and draw up and compact the
earth in such manner that it will
hold it firmly in its place. Grating
weak growing varieties on strong
stocks SO much practised by hortl-
culturists, aud always brings them
into bearing one year in advance OF
the time they would produce on their
own roots. We always deem it best
to graft each kind on lis own spe>
cles, a concord would not do we'll
on Norton's Virginia, or the re-,
verse, the reason for which is this,
the Concord and most OF the La.
bruscas are soft wooded and grow
readily from cuttings, while the Nor
tons Virginia, Cynthiana belong to
the Virginia 3stiralis class, and are
hard wooaed grapes, very unreliable
TO grow from cuttings.

Fees and Doctors.

The fees of doctors is an item that
very many persons are interested IN just
at present. We believe the schedule for
visits is $500, which would TAX man

A ghastly discovery was made
on the farm Of Mr.. Martin Jones,
three miles south Of Sardis one
day last week. In turning up the
sod a plowman unearthed several
human bones. Upon examination
the remains of twelve or fifteen
human beings were uncovered in
a space of ground only three feet
square. In every case the skulls
first appeared to view, showing
that the unknown, mysterious dead
had been buried in an upright po-
sition. No one can give any salts.
factory explanation of these bones.
They are probably the remains of
Indians, killed in the early settle.

buried in small space, that it ap-

American wife eight years ago,
and If in the interval since the mar.
riage she has not been able to
make an American in disposition
of him, his case must be given up
as hopeless. Lord Randolph Chur-
chill's wife is a daughter of Leon.
ard jerome, the wealthy New
Yorker, and the wedding occurred
in New York. The noble lord is
on his way to Manitoba with sew
eral other Ell glishmen of blood to
buy land on speculation. Lord
Randolph Churchill is a striking
figure in Parliament, though slight
of stature, and only 33 years old,
because he has Irish blood in him,
has lived in Ireland, possesses in
innate knowledge of the state OF
affairs in that unhappy country,
and likes nothing better than to
deal home thrusts at the Govern.
ment, as he is very capable of do.

Buchaaaa's Escape from scandal

Buchanan, when he was Minister
10 England-before his election as
President nt-had with him, as Seere-
tary of the Legation, Gen. Sickles.
Sickles' wife was a crazy-headed,
undisciplined, merry, American
girl, who was made a good deal Of
by Buchanan. When Buchanan
was elected to the Presidency,
Sickles came TO Washington, and
Mr.. Buchanan still continued his
intimate relations with the family.
Ii will be remembered that the old
Sickles mansion is on one side of
Lafayette Park-the park that
fronts upon the White House
grounds. President Buchanan was
very fond of buckwheat cakes.
The day before Sickles shot Key,
Mrs. Sickles went over TO the
White House to invite President
Buchanan to come over to break
fast with her. She told Buchanan
that she had received some very
| fine buckwheat from Pennsylvania,
and if he would come over to
breakfast with her he might have
some of his favoritc cakes. Mr.
Buchanan said he would; that il
to say, that he could then see nc
reason why he should not. He
had never heard of the scanda
about her and Key, which wa'
then the leading topic in Washing
ton. After Mrs. Sickles had gon'

Norfolk, Illinois, May 5.-The
wife of DIR. J. s. Fellers, of Hills
boro, Texas, and formerly of this
place, prematurely gave birth to
a daughter, September 81, 1881.
Unexpectedly, the infant exhibited
signs of vitality. Thirty-six hours
from its birth the babe weighed,
including clothing, only "A ounces.
Receiving judicious treatment the
child remained in u comatose con.
ditiOn for five weeks. At the ex.
piration of that time the infant
took the breast naturally. So di-
minutive in size was it that a fin
ger ring of ordinary size could be
placed on the little creatures arms
and thighs. A silver five cent
piece would cover its ear, and the
hands and feet were bird-like in
size. The whole body was not
more than eight inches in length,
and could conveniently be put in
a cigar box. The teguments GOV.
ering the abdomen were transpa.
rent, so that the peristaltic move
ment of the bowels were visible.
The head was destitute of bone
from the upper portion of the
forehead to the occiput, the scalp
apparently being the only cover
ing of the brain, having the ap-
pearance of a soft.shell egg. Now
the skull is grown and is closed
with the proper substance, except
the fontanel, which remains I'm.
closed, as in newborn infants,
The infant wonder is now seven
months old, and weighs only eight
pounds. A letter from DR.. Eel
lers says the baby, Jostolla Eel
lers, is healthy and playful. 1t Is
said that the medical records con.
tain no more remarkable case than
the one related.

The deceased was born in New

His father was a Quaker, and the
SON was intended for mercantile +
pursuits, hut having no taste for
them he studied medicine, and was
graduated at Charleston, Va In
1887 he began the practice of his
profession in New York city. The
New York World in speaking Of
his brilliant operations, says:
"The art of successfully treat
ing eongenital and other deformi.
ties of the feet aud legs by the
knife was introduced by him. lie
was the first TO perform, in 1910,
tenotomy of both masseter mus.
cles for false anehylosis of the in
ferior maxilla, and was among the
first to cure aneurism by digital
compression. He has tied the sub.
clayian artery not less than five
times, securing complete recovery,
and the external lilac eight times,
losing but one patient. He was
equally successful in the legation
of the carotid, femoral and other
: large arteries, and in the removal
} of tumors. The Wood bisect0r,
: for the rapid removal of stones
: from the bladder has won for him
, the highest praise at home and
| abroad. lie has used the instru.
ment over 100 times with success.

Emma Rowe, daughter of James

Broadway, New York, with its
enormous travel is only sixty feet
wide, with thirty-six feet between
the curbstoncs, and many of the
principal streets are only forty
feet wide, and few except the prin-
cipal avenues uptown are over
fifty feet, and yet New York never
pretends to disturb them. 1t Is
high time that our expensive prac.
tiee of street widening came to an
end. It is a generally admitted
fact that a street forty feet in
width is better for business pur-
poses than one Of greater width

A Singular and Painful Accident
[Kosciusko Star.l

huh'lu6ho btnl'
On last Tuesday morning, Mrs.
S. Il. Wilson happened to an acci.
dent that is singular in its atten'
dant circumstances as il is painful
in its character. While she was
preparing breakfast she endeay.
ored to open n large, five pound
can of ham suasage, and put it on
the stove to heat and soften the
solder that held the top. When
she thought it was sufficiently
heated, she picked up the can and
applied knife vigorously to the
lid, when the can exploded with
great force, making . loud report
and sending Mrs. Wilson back
against the wall. The left thumb
was badly cut and the hand and
arm considerably bruised and
blackened. The force of the ex.
plosion was SO great that nearly
all the vessels on the stove were
thrown of, the can blown con
siderable distance, and the sau
sage, fire and ashes scattered in
all directions.
