A PRECocIoUs MISS.

A few days ago great curiosity was
aroused among the guests al the Palmer
House, by the actions of q little lady of
fifteen, handsome. richly dressed and well
supplied with money. Managers, clerks
and servants were very inquisitive as to
her personality. until "a lchambermaid read
asnotieein the papeF of 80, 900 reward for
the discovery of the whereabouts of Susie
Pollard, daughter of a wealthy merchant
of Cleveland, and identified the bosrder,
who had registered as Miss Gordon. She
denied the identity, but finally confessed.
She wanted to see the world, and started
on her adventures, taking several hundred
dollars. She left home Oct. 7fh and went
directly to Chicago. She intended to write
book on what she saw. She tried to
start west after the discovery, but tickets
were refused her. A prominent phy sician,

gossip. 1t is said that in addition to his
troubles resulting from the pending trial
and Disagreement Of serious nature in
the office of his Washington newspaper,
his Canadian Investment kkreatens finAn-
cial embarras sment Of a grave nature. The
story goes that s. p. Brown. a prominent
Star route contractor, with relative,
Warren Brown, purchased large tract of
timber land about twenty miles below
Montreal, He engaged in the business of
NUMBERING extensively,and had some eight
orten sawuills cunning. when the 'specu-
lation growing Improbable, he sought
Brady for financial assistance. 1t seems
sthat. Brady having some unemployed
funds. loaned Brown $4,000, taking a
mortgage Oh the property. Soon after,
Brown, needing still further assistance,
applied again to Brady, who responded
with $40, 900 more Subsequently Brown,
continuing to lose money by his lumber
ing operations abandoned the undertaking
and surrendered to Brady the property to
indemnify him for the 100000 invested
1t is said that Brady Y retained Warren
Brown as agent, and undertook on his
own account to prosecute the enterprise.
He has been unableait is reported, to OPP
crate the mills proftably, and has been
obliged to continually put additional
money into the business, until he has sunk
some $75, 600 in the venture. a few days
ago, his manager Warren Brown, was
killed accidentally, and Brad is said to
he trying to sell the property and close
out the bus ness without mourning further
loss.

An experienced statistician says the
value of the eggs used in the United States
amounts to ST5, 600, 900 annually. New
York alone uses Sfs oo0.e0e worth. A
new process recently invented to prevent
staleness is suoken of as the capitalization
process. By its agency the natural egg is
changed into an-amber~hued vitreous sub
stance, which while reduced m bulk, has
impaired to it the property of remaining
in edible condition for years and resisting
the deteriorating effects ofqelimafe g What
is more singular than this is that when thus
treated the eggs can be transported to
any place without ~ injury, and
can afterNarhs be- restored to their
original condition when desirable by add
ing the water which has been artifcihlly
removed from the she'll This simple pro
cess is called t'desiccating Companies
have been. organized in New York and ST.
Louis for this purpose. 1t is said that
neither salt nor extranous matter is en-
ployed in producing ''desiccation." The
egg is merely reduced, by the removal of
the water.to be consolidated mass of yolk|
and a1bumen. Any process which win re-
tain the freshness, and allow the shipment
wiz largely enhance the svaluesof this pro
duct. - -

The announcement made. by authori-
ty of a Government bureau. that the
white-pine forests of the United States
would at thepresent ratesof consumption
furnish less than twelve years supply of
that indispensable timber, although
copied into most of the papers, has not
reueived the general attantion which it
deserves, and probably will not until
the advancing cost of pine lumber
brings the lesson forcibly home to the
public mind. This advance has, how
ever, already begun, the price of land
in the great timber1producing States
having doubled within q few weeks, and
the questions OF the employment of some
other material for the coarser uses of
building is earnestly discussed among
architects and contractors. On some
accounts the substitution of hard wood
for pine in the finishing of houses would
tend to promote their solidity as well as
their artistic interest, both of which are
compromised by the universal habit OF
using hard wood only inothe form OF
veneers or castings upon grounds OF
cheaper material; but decided pro-
gress will have to be made in the art of
seasoning and working the, timber OF
deciduous trees before ii can be used in
large pieces in q way to satisfy those ac-
customed to the straightness, smooth
ness, and unvarying character of pine.
For framing, spruce and hemlock. with
whitewood in the Southern and Middle
States, viii probably soon occupy the
field entirely, and the makers of laths
and shingles will perhaps transfer their
industry to the forests of hemlock or
arbor-vitss. For interior finish,s ash. \
oak. including many kinds now reject
ed, chestnut, black birch, walnut, and
elm. may be turned to good account.
while for exterior work the decidnous
varieties will probably be introduced be-
fore long, for the sake Of variety, il not
of economys and with them a style Of
design different from that now practieed. |

Horticultural Notes.

Pink water lilies seem to be in
favor IN Boston. | saw them in tanks
and in florists windows. They first
grew in lake near Barnstable, Mass.
Their origin was kept secret, and they
were sold for high prices. or course
this could not last. The lake was dis
covered, and the rare flowers trans
planted. Foreign waters agreed with
them, and they now grow in many
fresh water lakes. Another favorite
water liy is called blue, al,hougL its
color is more nearly lavender. After
all. beautiful as these colored lilies are,
they can never rival their fair sister,
who will always be the water lily.

for the occurrence mentioned. An
orchard WAS planted on inclined or
slcping ground. The trees on the
lower portion were much injured
by last winter and some of
them killed. Higher up they
were less injured, and at the top scarce
ly at all. Another orchard on the top
OF hill was not injured at all. The
inquiry is, what caused this difference.
We have explained it ON former occa-
sions. The cold air on still, sharp
nights settles down into low places, 80
that the thermometer will show several
degrees difference between low valleys
on still nights and the hills above.
The valleys are sheltered from wind,
and the still air sinks lower by radia-
ton. A third cause is the soil. The
rich, mucky soil of valleys radiates
heat more freely than compact soil,
and becomes colder. A fourth, reason,
and not the least, is the more rank,
succulent and long. continued growth
of trees in rich valleys, so that they do
not ripen the wood in time to become
compact and hardy. We have seen
the wires in a vineyard which was
partly hard upland and partly low and
rich land. The vines grew too rapidly
and long on the low portions, and did
not prove AZ productive and hardy
Country Gentleman.
The Germantown Telegraph has
the following to say about horticul.
tural "luck:'
at is very common TO hear people
say that it is no use for them 10 plan,
fruit trees. They have no luck with
them. But in truth luck never did any
thing of any Importance. We DOM
trust our farm or general garden crops
to this person, Luck; but the sensible
farmer and grower employs good, care
full hands, and directs their work by
long experience, and the teeming har
vest field aud luxuriant vegetable gar
den attests to their wisdom and indus
try. There is no luck about it, but s
careful measuring to the end to be &C
complished with the means at hand Il
gain it. Whenever the same means
have been adopted with fruit-trees gooC
results have followed. In our own dis
trict there are "loads" of people who
have wonderful success with certain
things that they set their hearts on, anc
the growing of fruit is among thes,
successes. Bat these men, we repea
do not trust to luck. The trees arr
pruned as they ought to be and manur
ed with what they need; precaution
are taken against injury from curculi'
and borers, and thus industry and no
luck meets with its due reward. Try ii
as fruit raising ought to be tried, ant
see how easy it is to get good fruit ant
plenty of it, by going about it in tn
right way
