Grating.
Germantown Telegraph.

The grating of apple, pear and plum trees
will begin about the Goth of March, and if the
seions are carefully preserved, it can be contin-
ued up to and through May, as we know from
our own experience. AS we have often said
grating is a very easy operation when once un-
derstood, and the knowledge is readily acquired
on observing it being done by others. In fact
every farmer and gardener should do his own
grating, which will take up no time required by
other duties. a sharp penknife for shaping the
graft, shoemakers knife for splitting the stem,
and fine saw for removing the
top of the stock are indispe able.
Splitting the bark so that it shall
not be bruised, shaping the scion wedge1 ashton
of both stock and scion exactly together so
that the sap can intcrmingle, and then properly
waxed, there is no danger of failure. We make
shoulder to the scion, and think it adds to
the certainty of succeeding. ltprobably wealIens
it little. but we have never found it any dis
advantage. We prefer also two eyes or buds to
a scion, and would rather have only than
more than two. One years wood should
always be taken when it can be obtained as it is
more certain to take" and to grow more gor-
ousy and the scion should be cut from bearing
branches.
We wish again to remind those in preparing
their grating wax, that we take four parts of
rosin, one part of beeswax, and one part of beef
tallow, as the proper proportions for making a
wax. Melt them together in a skill
let (which is best) or a tin-eup and stir well: 1t
should remain in the vessel and use when Eeed-
ed. Twenty or thirty CRAFTS can be waxed with
one heating-up. When much grating is to be
DONE a little fire for warming the mixture should
be made on the spot, between two bricks or
stones. Apply the wax with small, thin pad
die; and in two or three weeks go over the gratis
and close up any opening in the waxing caused
by the wind on the splits.
There are many receipts for making grating
wax, and we have tried most of them, and found
some of them to be very good, but we prefer
cur own, as being the simplest to prepare and
answering the purpose well. Applying it warm
or hot does no injury to the scion. The object
to attain in the proportions is that the wax will
not crack in COOL dry, windy weather, or run in
warm weather. If, however, on trial. different
proportions be required, the foregoing can be
altered in order 20 make the wax thinner or
sitter, though after using this wax in several
ways we have come back to these as meeting
satisfactorily all the requirements

Mantell is great actor. Just now he is more
enthusiastically worshiped by the army of
women who seem to find it necessary 70 love an
idol on the stage than any man in the profession.
A photographer at Twenty second street and
Broadway tells me that Mantell's portraits are
in constant demand. He says that not only
school girls, but women of all ages and sizes,
purchase them, and not few invest in seven or
eight portraits of the same man. As the major

He doesn't care a rap for the lovesick girls, and

man told me a day or two ago that Mantel was
a much more intelligent looking when he
didn't wear his false front. His false 'front.'

Selection of Seed.



Nothing is more important to the farmer in
seeding time than the choice of good seed. Good
ness in this connection is a comprehensive term,
and among other things has relation to the kind
of soil and the climate in which the seed is to be
germinated and matured. Selection must be
made of that variety of seed whose plant growth
is indigenous OF adaptable to the climatic condi
tiOns known to exist. For example, a breed of
corn well adapted to the climatic conditions
found in Kansas would be a very poor selection
for northern Illinois or Iowa. Failure to observe
the climatic conditions of both these regions last
year brought disaster to the corn crop through
out wide area of the great corn belt Of the
Northwest.
Quite general use was made Of seed corn from
Kansas, and the result that the season of
Northern Iowa and Illinois was too short for
maturing the crop
Goodness in seed also eontempates the charac-
ter Of the product and its adaptability to the
wants of commerce, and also has relation to the
food value of the product.
Goodness in seed has further reference to the
certainty and vigor of its generating power The
presence of these qualities in any seed can only
be determined satisfactorily by test and expert
ment. In very few instances do farmers bestow
proper care and judgment in the selection. Too
many OF the failures we see on the part of other
wise careful and painstaking farmers are directly
attributable to negligence and blameworthy
careessness A farmer has no right to leopard
ize his prospects for a crop and possibly throw
away his labor and the use of his land by failure
and neglect to carefully select and test his seed,
of whatever kind he designs planting. The
seeds intended for this spring should have been
carefully selected and put in dry place last
fall, if possible, and they should have been kept
from freezing this winter, and if this has been
neglected and the seed is still to be secured and
tested little time remains, and it should be OBJ
tained and tested at once, not one or two ears
from half wagon load of seed, but two or three
grains from each of two, five or ten hundred ears
in half wagon load of seed
1t is a lamentable fact that among farmers
very little thought or experimentation is de-
voted to the all important department. of hus-
bandry-seed breeding. The average farmer
and stock breeder and feeder can talk intelli
gently Of the common breeds of cattle, horses,
sheep and swine; he knows more or
less Of the general characteristics

A SOCIAL SENSATION.
The American Colony in London Shocked
and Scandalized.


and Scandalize1.
Cable Special
The American colony in London was this
evening schocked and scandalized by startling
sequel to the Queens drawing room of the Goth
ultimo the one at which the American beauty,
Mrs. Jennie Chamberlain. made her triumphant
debut at court In the court circular, published
in this evenings papers, appears the following
official notice, duly signed and attested by Sir
Henry Frederick Ponsonby, her Maiestys pr-
vate secretary:
1.-THE presentation at her Maiesty's drawing room
Thursday, March 20, of Mr.. and Mrs. Julius
Newton, of New York city. u S. A, has been with
drawn, at the request of the Hon James Russell Low
ell the Minister of the United States"
This formal notice has the effect of nullifying
the presentation at court 1t expunges from
the record the fact that such a presentation
ever took place, withdraws from the persons
named all the prestige given by court debut
and, in fact, sends them to Coventry as far as
ariStocratic society is concerned. The issuing
of any such notes as the above is a sufficiently
rare event, and when the notification is coupled
with a request coming from the American Min
lister, it adds greatly to its Importance and
interest. Mr.. Julius Newton" has been resid-
ing for the past six months in England, but
when he arrived in London he was known, not
as ''AIr. Newton but Mr., Julius Nathan of
New York city. The reasons for his change of
name have not yet transpired. but it was only as
Mr. Julius Newton" that he was known at the
American Embassy. He made formal request
of Mr.. Lowell to be presented with his wife at
her Majesty's court and the Minister, having no
suspicion that the applicant was anything but
what he represented himself to be, had no hesi-
tation in complying drawing-ro reception
was held on goth ult and 'Mr. Newton" was duly
presented to the Prince of Wales, who repre-
sented the Queen on that occasion, by Mr. Low
ell while Mrs Lowell performed the duty of
official chaperone to the young lady whom "Mr.
Newton had introduced as his wife. This cpl
sode has causad a decided sensation in society
circles, and has led to the circulation of a
number OF seandalous stories to account for the
notice of withdrawal

and special merits of the various
breeds; he knows something Of how these excel
lencies have been produced and how they may
be perpetulted and how defects may be elimin-
ated by proper crossing and care of the vigor of
sires and dams. He knows the value of pure
blood and "A long line of descent: he knows how
to prize prepOtency in seed animals and the ex-
cellence of high standard in breeding but con
cerning the laws Of seed breeding and the neces-
sity for the application of those laws he knows
little or nothing, and apparently cares little.
This seems very strange when it is well known
that proper care and attention to seed breed
ing would largely enrich the quality and
double and more than double the quantity Of our
cereal products, and it is the value of the cereals
and forage plants used i'll the production and
maturing of our domestic animals which deter
mine their value.

The Apaches.

WAsHINGToN April 2.-Information has been
received at headquarters of the army from the
United States consul general at Matamoras con
cerfing the Apaches in northern Mexico which
tends to strengthen the belief that little Charley
McComas was killed by his captors. From talks
with Apache squaws at Chihuahua recently
captured by Mexicans, there can be but little
doubt of it. Ju is said to be still alive, and with
about twenty bucks is not over a hundred miles
north of chihuahua. 1t is reported in that
country if General Crook had supplies enough
in his Mexican campaign to have remained in
the mountains fortnight longer Ju and every
Apache in those mountains would have come in.
General Crook was compelled to move too soon
on account of the large number of squaws and
children

A Garden Pest.

lows; Take some pieces of slate, fiat
stones, or fiat pieces of tin, and lay them about
in the garden among the plants, distributing
them very literally; just at sundown go out and
place teaspoonful of bran on each piece of slate
or tin, and the slugs will soon become aware of
it, and begin to gather and feed on it. In about
two hours, when it is dark, go out again with a
lantern and pail containing salt and water, and
pick up each piece on which the slugs are found
feeding and throw slugs and bran into the brine,
where they instantly die. 1t is well, also, to go
around in the morning. and many slugs will be
found hiding under the pieces of slate, and can
be destroyed in the brine. By following up this
method persistently for few weeks the garden
may be effectually rid of the nuisance.

THE LATE THAD STEVENS.
His Insult to a virginian and His Still More
Irritating Apology.

Washington Letter in Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle.
DR.. j. L. NJ. Curry is here, an interested
observer of events and an impatient listener to
some of the impracticable Southern orators. He
says he would give $500 to make speech in the
Senate on the Blair bill, but thinks that Senator
Brown will speak with such words of wisdom as
the country may heed. DR. Curry is a Georgian

dote of the late, but not in the South lamented,
Thaddeus Stevens. Virginian named Ed
monston was one day walking down Pennsyl
vania avenue with Mr.. Curry, then Congress
man. Mr.. Edmonston was much excited about
remark he had traced to Mr.. Stevens, and
tried to aDpease him, but did not althogher sue
eeed. Soon afterward Edmonston deserted
Thaddeus Stevens Just ahead on the avenue, and,
his wrath returning said: There goes the
dashed old rascal now. l am going to con-
front him. Before his companion could arrest
him Edmonston had accosted the enemy.
Hating the Pennsylvania statesman, the fiery
Virginian calculated: 'ATr. Stevens, sir
heard that you had insulted my State The
grim old man, with a malicious twinkle in his
eye, responded ''Oh, no; / think not Mr.. Ed
monston. But what did say offensivelyl7 Ed
monston reioined: 'You said sir, that John
Brown could have captured Virginia with 30
men" Hardly suppressing laugh, his wick
ed eyes glimmering still more malicously,
Thad Stevens, in sharp tone, said: You have
got it wrong, Mr.. Edmonston, frightfully wrong!
