Such was the cash investment with

moderate figure of 1900, 100000. All
this money, as well as that paid to

This, as stated above, has been in
creased to $3,5OO,000. For the f|rst
eleven years of its existence Il paid
dividends equal to 1913, PIG year. It's
actual capital is hard to estimate, but
its extensive refineries and valuable
real and personal property make it at
least $2O,OOO,00G. The dividends are
large, as they are generally in great en-
terprises conducted by shrewd men.
Still, they are probably surpassed by
many partnership and incorporated
concerns in the United States. The
New York Sun, for instance, paid a 60
per cent. dividend last year On $3.50 900
capital, yet everything outside of its
e-mark-building, presses, type and
all-could be replaced for less sum
than its dividend in 1881. I.would take
a long series Of dividends of the Stand
ard Company to replace the prop erty it

Pennsylvania against the Standard Oil
Company, of Ohio, for taxes and penal
ties amounting to an estimated claim
of So, 145 ,541, will come before the Court
of Common Pleas of Dauphin county,
Pa, next Thursday. The company
claim that it is incorporated in Ohio,
and never exercised franchises or
privileges as a corporation in Pennsyl-

taxation III the latter State; that the
Constitution Of the United States de-
clares that ''no tax or duty shall be
laid on articles exported from any

ing and barreling its oils.

SOrgO Seed Better than Corn

I. A. Tribble, of Mason county, ILL.,.
writes to the Rural World the following
experience:
In the spring of 1879 l got three
pounds of early amber seed, planted a
small patch, which did finely, and
made the best syrup | ever made. |
saved all of the seed, and had about
seven bushels. In 1880, planted and
gave to my ncighbors perhaps three
bushels. Having no other use for the
balance, fed it 10 my horses, and was
SO well pleased with it that last year |
saved all my seed, about 80 bushels,
fattened my hogs on it, and fed my
horses all winter, and never had stock
do better, and on so small an amount
of grain. My horses had each one
half gallon twice day, and not peck
of any other grain all winter, and were
said to be the latest team in town.
This season l had, of clean seed, over
$50 bushels (sold and fed several loads
without threshing). / would say here,
that in order that my building and en-
CINE should not stand idle ten months
in the year, last winter put in feed
mill, and this season have ground my
cane seed mixed with corn. Several
parties who have been using it this
winter, very much prefer it to clear
corn meal for feed, and pay me $1.40
per 100 pounds for it, when l am sell
ing the clear corn meal at $1.25 per
100 pounds. In my opinion Amber
cane seed is worth fifty per cent. more
thany corn for feed. | don't know
whether my seed is unusually fine or
not but, when well cleaned, il will
weigh sixty pounds to the bushel. The
Amber was grown here exclusively last
season. Although | planted about four
pounds of Early Orange, l don't think
100 seeds came up.
AS for the weld per acre / think
must have had the boss crop. In one
piece of about Al acres / threshed and
cleaned up 131 bushels, fed one load
and sold another, in the head (which
would have threshed II to Is bushels
per losd), and, in threshing, there was
certainly 10 per cent. that we did not
get off, so | feel safe in saying that had
we got all the seed in shape TO meas
ure it, we would have had nearly or
quite 40 bushels per acre. | have GO
to rs bushels of seed yet, enough, I'M
less there should be demand for it,
for planting, to keep my team till next
crop. Will any other grain crop beat
that?
A number of farmers who have in
vestigated the matter, say they are 60
inc to plant large patches of Amber
cane this year, as they think the seed
will pay for growing the crop, and give
them the stalks clear profit. sold my
best sirup at 70 cents per gallon; my
poorest at so cents, but the bulk Of it
at 60 cents retail, and AZ cents whole

How SpOnges are Adulterated.

"Why say anything about it? The
public demands cheap sponges; the re-
tail dealers know that ever sponge they
sell contains thirty to sixty pc. cent. of
foreign matter; and they sell them at q
price corresponding with the amount
Of the adulteration. So no one is de-
frauded, and why seek to discover the
secrets of our trader
These remarks were made recently by
New York importer Of sponges In an
sweI to a reporters question why they
was so much sand in his sponges. There
are only lalfa dozen large sponge i'm
porting houses IL New York, and, dis
satisfied with the answer to his inquiry,
the reporter visited all the other houses.
Being neither an article of food nor a
drug the sponge does not strictly come
under the specifications ofthe adultera-
ton act passed by the legislature of
the State at its last session. The sub
stances used in "loading" sponges are
sand, lime, and marble dust and che
mically prepared substance of which
the ingredients are Kept secret.
The reason for this habit as given by
one importer are rs follows: cit is an
old custom derived from the Greeks.
The Mediterranean sponges have always
neen received here filled with very fine
sand, and the fishers of sleeps wool
sponges in Florida have followed the
same practice. Certainly the purchaser
is deceived, but it is his own fault. He
demands first class-sponge, and is
only willing to pay what a secondclass
sponge is worth. We of course satisfy
him by selling him the goods herequires
at price equal to what le would have
paid for a sponge of an inferior quality.
But he forgets that he has purchased his
goods by weight and has paid a price
tor common sand far above what he
could get it for of a regular dealer in
sand. To illustrate, have a sponge
here worth $3.50 a pound. A customer,
retail dealer, says he likes the sponge,
but it is too expensive. What shall do?
Lose the sale i? Not at all. | show him
another box containing exactly the
same grade of sponges, for which l only
ask Sl75 pound. He thinks he has
made bargain and is satisfied, The
truth is he has purchased fifty per cent.
of sponge and the same amount of sand,
his sponge really costing him $3.50 a
pound. Who is to blame?"
does not the sand or lime hurt the
quality of the sponge?'
"No, not much, for it mostly comes
out when the sponge is first wet. 1t
may injure the varnish on carriage a
little, bot that is at the risk OF the pur-
chaser who aims at getting his sponges
at a reduced price. You have doubt
less noticed that some sponges are very
white. This is due to the fact that they
are filled with lime instead of sand.
Lime is equally deceptive in regard to
weight, and is somewhat injurious to
theaexture of sponge, while if used in
bathing, or especially in dressing
wounds, it is really dangerous unless
great care is taken to have all the lime
shaken out. In this latter use it is pos
sible that the aduiteration might come
under the provisions of the law for the
sdulteration of drugs"

boy, and whispered in return. "You
ere a noble little boy to remember
Others: eat all you wish: will see that
your friend has some also.
After supper was over, the table
cleared away, and the other boys deep
in the enjoyment of games, in which i've
could take but little part, Mrs. Longman
and the blind boy had long and COLI
fidential conversation. She gathered
from his earnest lips that even the poor
in purse can be rich in spirit; that the
mix of human kindness sometimes
made fertile hearts which had never
known anything but stern, unrelenting
poverty. The one he called Nancy had
received him from the bedside of his
dying mother, and although she had to
work early and late to support her own
helpless ones, she was to the best of her
poor ability faithfully fulfilling her pro-
mise.
The Longmans were not rich, but
Mrs. Longman sadly compared her
own selfish life with It's means of doing
good with that of the poor woman
whose opportunities were so few, and
vet whose life was a continued sacrl-
flee of self for others. Mrs. Longmar
was a Sabbath-school teacher. and he
conscience bad many ines reproved
her that she had not gone into the by
ways to bring children under the n
fluence OF the gospel. Here was ner
opportunity, and she resolved to seize
it. She argued with herself as to he
propriety Of using temporal induce
ment for spiritual end, and her con.
science upon reflection approved.
In the meantime, Mr.. Longman
came home,' and the cheerful smile
upon his wife's lips, so different from
what he was expecting, delighted him,
and he gave the boys an even more
cordial greeting than was his wont.
When his wife had informed him how
it all came about, he resolved to do his
part toward giving them good time,
so sent an abundant order for apples
and the beloved peanuts, the delight OF
the newsboy's heart, and told them to
help themselves, which they did to a
man,
Mrs. Longman, with Bridget's assist
ance, spent the balance of the even
ing making packages for the boys, to
take home with them, and the sub
stitutes were not forgotten. At her
husbands approval she made a propo-
sition to the boys at the close of the
evening, and that was that they should
come one evening in every month and
take supper with her boys, provid-
ing that all who could go to some Sun
day school would do SO. To her glad
surprise most of them agreed to the
arrangement, and those who held back
she found upon inquiry were constrain-
ed to object on the score Of clothing, a
want which she engaged to supply.
She went further than that. She exert
ed herself to obtain admission for the
blind boy into an institution for the
blind, and after each of the monthly
parties she paid him visit, taking his
share of the good things, always ac-
companied by her own sons, and some
times by the Eoening Telegram, B,tlle-
tin, or one of the dailies; and one of
the most useful lessons which Mrs.
Longman received from her surprise
party was this: "There is no surer
remedy for low spirits than doing good
to others"

CAUGHT.


Twas at party last July,
One moonlit, wer-scented eve:
The lancers finished, tall Miss III
With starry fingers touched my sleeve
She led me to a corner soon,
And 10 a curtains dimpled fold,
Her album, delicate maroon,
With dainty arabesques of gold
She handed me with lyric laugh,
Which did my soul in bliss immerse
And said. I'D like your autograph,
And-if you will, little verse"
Her eyes to mine did softly speak
| wrote Il sonnet On the spot;
Abiding to her hair and check,
And, likewise, tie forget-me-not.
Ger pictured fan / saw her look,
And wrote of her aesthetic sense;
Then handed her her worshipped book
She bowed with queenly Difference.
And then the creature, fairer form,
Drew closer, with smile as sweet
As anything-my cheek grew warm
My heart, l think, began to beat.
She read the compliments paid
And then proclaimed, in pottish tones
why, that's the very verso you made
The other day far Nelly Jones.

The Rains and the Chinch Bugs.

That evil is not unmixed with good
is an old doctrinal saying, The st.
Paul Pioneer and Press in late issue
has this piece of good news for the
farmers in the vast basin so long inun-
dated this year.
Reports received at this Office lead
to the belief that the greatest enemy
the wheat crop has, or ever had, viz:
the chinch bug, is almost if not quite
anihilated. This destructive pest,
which has for the past few years devas-
tated Wisconsin and northern Iowa and
the southeastern portion of our own
state, has been rapidly working its way
to the northern portions, and the past
season obtained such foothold in
Hennep1n county as to lead many to
give up the idea of attempting to raise
wheat any longer. Once established it
multiphes and thrives on not only
wheat, but corn and other grains, as
well as all kinds of vegetables. Each
female lays an average of five hundred
eggs in a season, and raises two broods
a year-the first maturing in July or
August, and the last late in the fall.
Woe be to the field in which they be-
come well established.
Nothing but the most careful pulver-
ization of the soil and levelng down OF
Jumps and sods under which they hide
to lay their eggs, will save the crop.
Now wet weather is their greatest enc
my. If long continued and cold, as in
the present case, they succumb to Its
effects and die; while in extreme
drouth they fairly revel. Not only
this class of bugs, but Others Also we
learn, have been killed. 1t is SAID that
our old striped friend, the potato pug,
which has been with US 10 these many
YEAS. is a sufferer, as well, all of which,
should it prove true, is good news IN
deed. Lastly, every rain brings with it
more or less ammonia and other ele-
ments from the clouds which are need
ed for plant growth. 1t may be almost
settled in advance that we shall have
good crop year next season, and with
it freedom from the chinch bug and
possibly other hurtful insects, we can
then thankfully acknowledge, if even
not now, that the deluge of the fall OF
1881, was, after all, blessing in disguise
