No Information Received In Regard to
Trescott.
WASHINGTON, May IL.
Nothing has been received BY the state de-
partinent in regard to Trescott's interview
| with President Montero. A cablegram from
africa simply says: Prescott sailed on the
Lackawanna the 18TH" 1t would therefore
| seem that Prescott is to be bearer of his own
dispatches to Washington.
A Bill to Promote Melville.
Cameron. from the committee on naval af-
fairs. reported adversely the Senate resolu-
ton rendering he thanks of Congress to and
comforting an additional rank upon Chief
Engineer Melville. This action was taken
upon the suggestion of Secretary Chandler
that the matter be left until the next session
of Congress when all the facts will be known
and intelligent action can be at hand.
Star Route Case.
Merrick appeared in the police court, and
stated to the court referring to the star route
cases, that he did not think it necessary to
conduct two examinations at the same time,
and as the grand jury are now investigating
the matter, he asked continuance in the
Rerdell case until the 25th inst. The request
was granted.
A Cargo of Cotton Burning.
The signal corps station at Delaware
Breakwater reports the Mallry line steamer
Rio Grande, from Galveston. Texas, for New
York, cargo of cotton, arrived in the harbor
Wednesday morning, with the cargo on fire
in the forehold and amidships. The passen-
gers were transferred to the Italian bark
Peppino, IS miles southwest of here. The
wrecking company are at work with steam
pumps to extinguish the fire. The vessel
probably will have to be sunk to extinguish
the fire. At 1890 the Rio Grande is being
sunk to save her from destruction by fire.
Food for the Indians.
Indian Agent Llewellyn, at the Mescalero
agency, in a telegram to the commissioner of
Indian affairs, suggests that in view of the
failure Of Congress to provide for the sub
sistence of the MescalerO Apaches, they should
be transferred to the war department before
starvation compels them to commit depre-

Demand for Machinery on Farms.

To-day the agricultural implement max
ers cannot keep up with orders. The car
riage builders are behind their orders. The
piano and organ makers cannot supply the
trade. The number of shops, factories and
makers is rapidly increasing. The farmers
are buying largely and nearly all on time.
They must meet these payments six or
twelve months hence, if in no other way by
hiring money and mortgage. Sacrifice will
have to be made nine times out of ten.
Nine times out Of ten the purchase is i'll
advised, either in time, price, make or
model. We are not opposed to improved
tools, increased labor-saving tools, new lux
uries or musical or other accomplishments,
when the way is clear or the means on hand
to crafty. But we are opposed to this aping
towards livings and doings out of place or
beyond means. We are opposed to so much
credit given and debt incurred. 1t leads to
financial trouble and domestic distress. The
great hindrance to improved ways and
means in our farming to-day is the incubus
of debt and the vampire of interest accru-
ing daily. This debt incurred wisely or
foolishly now is the milestone that drags
men down. Still the purchase goes on, the
farm is sapped and drained to meet the ex-
ira strain, and farming lags and falters. Its
life blood is being drawn, its strength frit-
tered away.

Darwin.

Though Mr. Darwin had more than COM
pleted his threescore and ten years, and
though his life had been rich in achievement
and crowned with success such as is but sell
dom vouchsafed to man, yet the news of his
death has none the less impressed us with
sense of sudden and premature bereavement.
For on the one hand the time would never
have come when those of us who had learned
the inestimable worth of such a teacher and
friend could have felt ready to part with
him; and on the other hand Mr.. Darwin was
one whom the gods, for love of him, had
endowed with perpetual youth, so that his
could never seem otherwise than premature.
AS Mr. Galton has we'll said, the period of
physical youth,-say from the fifteenth to
the twenty-second year-is, with most men,
the only available period for acquiring the
intellectual habits and amassing the stores
of knowledge that are to form their equip
ment for the work Of lifetime; but in the
case of men of the highest order this period
is simply period of seven years. There is,
now and then, mind-perhaps one in four
or five millions--which in early youth
thinks the thoughts of mature manhood,
and which in old age retains the flexibility,
the receptiveness, the keen appetite for new
impressions, that are characteristic of the
fresh season of youth. Such mind as this
was Mr.. Darwin's. To the last he was
eager for new facts and suggestions, to the
last he held his judgments in readiness for
revision; and to this unfailing freshness of
spirit was joined sagacity which, naturally
great, had been refined and strengthened by
half century most fruitful in experiences,
till it had come to be almost superhuman.
When we remember how Alexander Won
Humboldt began at the age of seventy-five
to write his Kosmos, and how he lived to
turn off in his ninetieth year the fifth bulky
volume of that prodigiously learned book
when we remember this, and consider the
great scientific value of the monographs
which Mr.. Darwin has lately been publish
ing almost every year, we must feel that it
is in measure right to speak OF his death
as premature. After all, however, no one
can fail to recognize in the career of Mr..
Darwin the interest that belongs to COM
plete and well-rounded tale. When the ex-
tent of his work is properly estimated it is
not too much to say that among all the great
leaders of human thought that have ever
lived there are not half dozen who have
achieved so much as he. In an age that has
been richer than any preceding age in great
scientific names, his name is indisputably
the foremost. He has already found his
place in the history of science by the side
of Aristotle, Descartes and Newton. And
among thinkers of the first order of origin
ality he has been peculiarly fortunate in
having lived to see all the fresh and power
full minds Of a new generation adopting his
fundamental conceptions and pursuing their
inquiries along the path which he was the
first to break.-June AAantic.

tion his views have met by other men en-
gagged in kindred pursuits. Agricultural
chemists have endeavored TO show the falls
ity of his conclusions and conceited agri-
cultural editors have sneered at him, but
amid all this, Professor Collier has pursued
his Investigations in his own quiet way,
fully believing that the results would justify
the position he had assumed.
Last autumn Professor Collier was invited
to explain his experiments before the Ma
tional Academy of Sciences, an association
which stands at the head of American Scien-
tifc Institutions, and one TO which accord
ing to the terms of its charter, scientific sub
jects regarded Of national Importance are to
be referred. The members of the academy
were SO impressed with the views presented
and demonstrated by the professor that the
subject was referred to committee of their
members for investigation, who were di-
rected to report the results. Upon this COM
mittee was Professor Gcessman of the Ma
sachusetts State College, gentleman Of
scientific attaiments and of high character,
but who had always opposed the views Of
Professor Collier upon this subject. The
committee have had the subject under care
full consideration, and their report will de-
clare sorghum to be a sugar-producing plant
next to the sugar cane of Louisiana and the
tropics; that it is so in actual cane-sugar
contents, and that it has a continental
spread of variability and adaptation to the va
rious soils and climates of the United States.
This endorsement of the plant and its capa-
bilities is one of the greatest Importance
and will give new impulse to sorghum cul-
ture in this section as well as in the great
northwest where it is already ranking among
the leading crops.-Maine Farmer.

Eating for Work.

The importance of this matter is far too
little appreciated or understood by the great
majority of farmers. Many who carefully
consider what kinds and quantities Of food,
OF oats, corn, ground and cut feed, hay or
grass, will enable them to get the most
good work out of their horses and oxen, the
richest milk, or largest amount of it, from
their cows-also the best times of feeding
sadly neglect to use similar thought and
care respecting themselves and their work
men.
Strength comes only from suitable nutri-
tious food, well digested. A man, whether
employer or employed, will have far more
working power if he eats as much as he can
digest well of lean meat, properly cooked,
good bread, oat meal, ordinary and curd
cheese, and the like, than if consuming salt
fat pork, cooked almost to a crisp, with po-
tatoes, etc. A laborer paid dollar or more
day, will do double real work if five to
ten cents extra be spent in supplying him
with food that will give him the fullest
strength. Beans, if not charred or Drowned
in cooking, peas, green or ripe, good bread,
and cabbage thoroughly cooked, supply the
elements for muscular force.
The blood is the active helper in digest
ing food, by supplying the gastric solvents,
and it carries nourishment to the muscles
and to the brain. While a heavy meal is
being worked up, the blood is drawn away
from the muscles and brain to the stomach.
| When at hard work or exercise with mind
or body, the blood is drawn from the stom-
ach, and less nutriment is obtained from the
food. 1t is good rule to work slowly at
first, after full meals and increase the
amount OF exercise gradually, as the blood
can be spared from the digestive organs.
More will be accomplished by this course in
working and thinking. The French people,
who make study of the subject, take a
very little food on rising, roll and coffee,
and perhaps baked apple, and begin work
at daylight Towards noon they take another
similar repast, and do full days work by
four O'Clock in the afternoon; then rest a
little, take full hearty meal, and make a
business of digesting it. During the rest of
the evening and night, this meal is digested
diffused all through the system, and quietly
builds up and strengthens the muscles, SO
that they are ready for vigorous work the
next day. Experienced horsemen under
stand that with heavy feed of oats, ETC., al
night, and light breakfast, horse gets a
reserved stock of muscular strength laid in
in advance, and travels faster and further
than one having hearty morning feed

Burdette to Young Men.

X. j. Burdette, in the Burlington Hdwk-
eye gives "Advice to a Young Man." as
follows: "You say you demand the noblest
type of useful womanhood in your wife. If
that is the sort of woman you want marry
Nora Mulligan, your laundress' daughter.
She wears cowhide shoes, is guiltless Of cor
sets, never had a sick day in her life, takes
in washing, goes out house-cleaning, and
cooks for family of seven children, her
mother, and three section men, who board
with her. don't think she would marry
you, because Con Regan, the track-walker
is her style of man. Let us just examine
into your qualifications as model husband
after your own matrimonial ideas, my boy
Can you shoulder barrel of flour and carry
it down to the cellar Can you saw and
split ten cords of hickory wood in the fall
so as to have ready fuel all winters Can
you spade up half an acre of ground for a
kitchen garden Do you know what will
take the limy taste out of the new cistern,
and can you patch the little leak in the
kitchen roof Can you bring home pane
OF glass and wad of putty and repair dam
ages in the sittingroom window Can you
hang some cheap paper on the kitchen
Can you fix the front gate so thatit will not
sag Can you do anything about the house
that Con Regan CAM My dear boy, you
see why Nora Mulligan will have none of
you; she wants higher type of true man
hood. You expect to hire men to do all the
mans work about the house, but you want
your wife to do everything that any woman
can do. Believe me, my dear son, nine-tenths
of the girls who play the piano and sing so
charmingly, whom you in your limited
knowledge set down as 'mere butterflies of
fashion, are better fitted for wives than you
are for husband. If you want to marry a
first-class cook and experienced housekeeper
do your courting in the intelligence office
But if you want wife, marry the girl you
love, with dimpled hands and face like
the sunlight, and her love will teach her all
these things, my boy, long before you have
learned onehalf of your own lesson"
