Punching Dean Stanley.

When Minnie Palmer's Company was
playing at the Park Theatre, now the
Arch street (Phil) Opera House, in the
season of lS79.S0. Mr.. J. Scanlon, the
comedian of the company, was stopping
at the Continental Hotel, where the ia
nous English churchman, the late Dean
Stanley, was also sojourning at tho same
time. Now the Dean and the actor who
played the first old men with the Palmer
company was about the same age and
bore striking resemblance to each
other in point of figure. 1t CHANGED one
day as Dean Stanley was going up stairs
that Scanlon started to 60 up behind
hin. and, installing him for his friend
and associate the first old man, playfulIy
gave the Dean a sharp thrust with his
thumb. Poor Stanley. believing with
rage and anger, turned hastily around
to discover the author of his anguish,
and beheld Scanlon, who was over.

Raislns Better then Wine.

According to Sir William Gull, Queen
Victoria's physician, and of course en-
inent in his profession, it is bettor in
case of fatigue from overwork to eat
raisins then to resort to alcohol. In his
testimony before the lords commission
in London, few months ago, he af-
firmed "that instead of flying to alcohol,
as many people do when exhausted -,
they might very we'll drink water, or they
might very we'll take food; and they
would be very much better without the
alcohol" He add" !. as to the form of
food he himself res Its to sin case of ia
tigue from overwork, would nay that if
am thus fatigued my food is very
simple-I eat the raisins instead of TAX
ing the wine. For thirty years I have
had large experience in this practice. l
have recommended it to my personal
friends. It is a limited experience, but
believe it is very good and true ex-
perience." This il valuable testimony ;

Those that wish to have geraniums

Dandruff is a scruf1y matter which ex-
foliates from the skin. 1t is caused by q
diseased condition. produced generally
by uncleanliness and by the use of hair
oils and grease on the head and for the
want Of washing. To prevent it the head
should be washed every morning with
water and soap and rubbed dry with
towel. This will cure the trouble if
persevered in. If any hair. dressing is
used q simple oil, as oil of almonds,
mixed with an equal part Of pure alco-
hol OF bav rum and few drops of tine
ture Of Spanish fly, may be rubbed on
the hair and skin of the head imme-
diately after the hair is rubbed dry.
The rubbing is very beneficial to the

FARM AND HOUSE,
The SORGHUM su.ar ludu.trv

The Sorghum sugar Industry.
A committee Of the National academy
OF sciences has thoroughly examined
DR.. Peter Golfers researches into the
entire chemistry Of sorghum and has
just published . report, which will
doubtless attract much attention. They
commend the accuracy of DR.. Golfers
experiments and also detail tho success.
full results secured by putting his de-
auctions to practical test. The fact Is
established that the crystalizable sugar
continues to increase in proportion to
the weight of juice from the sorghum as
the plant advances, and attains its maxi
mum at maturity, that is, when the seed
is ripe. The juice after the sorghum is
cut undergoes rapid chemical changes
and unless the sugar making i, under
taken within . few hours the sugar
turns to glucose. This will account for
the tact that some sorghum growers
have been able to make sugar one
year and failed the next, when they sup
posed they were following exactly the
same process both years. The whole
secret lies in allowing the sorghum to
become fully ripe and in expressing the
Juice and making the sugar Immediately.
CEder these conditions sorghum will
yield crystallizable sugar as beautifully
and at certainly. as sugar cane and the
best varieties Of sorghum are as rich in
sugar rs the best Louisiana sugar cane.
The committee visited the works of
the Rio Grande sugar company at Cape
May, N. j., where they witnessed the
whole process from the cutting of the
cane to the turning out of the sugar from
the centrifugals ana subsequently re-
ceived from the company q sample bar
rel out of the lot of 300 barrels Just re-
fined at Philadelphia and it was pro-
nounced by disinterested grocers to be
good ''C' sugar. The Rio Grande com
pany crushed last year 5000 tons of cane
from which they made 900 barrels of $50
pounds each of first" sugar and l,l5O
barrels of good molasses. Many other
establishments are reported upon and
the success of the industry seems to be
established. Two farmers in New Haven
county, Ct, are mentioned, who, with
no special knowledge of the subject, had
made sorghum sugar and supplied their
neighbors for several years. They had
learned to let the sorghum ripen thor.
ough)y and always found the syrup ready
to crystalline.
The fact that we consume 1900, OOO, 900
pounds of sugar annually and raise not
over tenth of the amount, but pay $40,
OOO,0OO per annum to other countries
tor s1gar r. makes ma the perfectng and
a matter of vast national Importance.
and as sorghum can be raised to per
lection in nearly all the Northern states
there is no reason why we may not
raise sugar enough not only for
our own uses, but enough to supply
the markets of the whole world be-
sides.

Farmers Brevities.

Over $4,000 head of cattle and many
thousand sheep are now feeding on the
plains of Wyoming Territory, and many
more of both species on those of the
state of Texas, and vet there are MANY

is the most important natural product of

Satisfactory results have proved that
Holstejns are superior to all other COWS

can be fatted for beef more profitablv

Mr.. G. J. Sadler, of Pitville (Philadel-
phia) is of the opinion that the Wyan-
dotte fowls are destined to be the favor
ties, over all others, as they are well
feathered, hardy, compact and good
layers, besides being less liable to FROST
ed comb in winter.
Crop reports from Russia are favorable.
The great wheat-erowing country of Rus
sian Poland expects an average crop. The
important country to the north uf the
Black Sea, from Odessa to the Azof, has
been refreshed by timely rains, and
gives promise of good yield of wheat.
The whole tendency of the times is
towards lower prices. It has been 80
for some years and is general in other
industries, and the whole cause Of it Is
enlarged competition which makes nec-
essary cheaper products to meet it. The
dairyman must double his product by
improving his stock and his system Of
farming and feeding; the breeder must
improve his stock and and supply the
dairymen and farmer with better mate
rial, and these must alter their methods
to conform with the general advance.
When an army makes a change in front,
or a part of it makes charge, the line
is kept unbroken; there must be no lag

army of live stock owners, dairymen,
