Range Hayes Arrested and Held
On Charge of Forgery.

Early yesterday morning Range Hayes,
young colored man, who for some time
has been employed as a pressman in the
Democrat office, presented an order to the
irm Of Spragus & Son, coal dealers, on
East Second street, for a ton of coal,
bearing the signature of the busi-
ness manager of the Democrat company.
From the bungling manner in which the
order wss written, and from the actions of
the bearer, the suspicious of the firm were
aroused, and they refused to let him have
the coal. Hayes then put the order in his
pocket and left.
Later in the day the Democrat
company was informed of the matter and
they pronounced the order of forgery.
The case was placed in the hands of
Officer Gossage, who, armed with a war
rant. paid visit to Hayes lodging place
and arrested him. He was taken before
Justice Halstead and gave bond for his ap-
pearance on the 10th inst.
He denies his guilt and claims that he
was hired to present the order by one of
his fellow workmen in the office. This
story is not credited, however.

TEMPERATURES OF MILK.
The Country Gentleman, replying to
a correspondent, says milk should be
kept at 60o also that some authorities
says $50. To this the American dairy
man says: eve understand that this
reply has no relation to the proper
temperature of setting the milk for the
cream to rise, as the question might
imply. So far as the correct temper
allure for keeping the cream is con-
cerned, We are sure the lower the tenn
perature the better, until you reach
the freezing point. Sixty or sixty

Preparing for Cholera.

The Kansas City Times, speaking of the
probable appearance OF cholera In this
country, among other things, says:
"The cholera epidemic that is raging in
Europe is the cause of good deal of spec
ulation among physicians and the boards
of health of the larger cities In the United
States, and ii seems to be the general opin-
ion that this country will receive a vista
ton from this dread scourge the coming
year, and preparations are being made ev-
erywhere to throw around the populous
cities every possible safeguard likely
spread. City Physician Fee has been
devoting considerable time and study to
the subject, and is of the opinion that
Kansas City should take prompt steps TO
protect itself against the ravages OF cholera
and kindred diseases. The disease is par
iicularly fatal in these portions OF the
large cities where tenement houses are To-
Gated, and DR.. Fee is snxious to secure
such necessary amendments TO he sanitary
code as will give the local board of health
an opportuni to successfully combat it,
In case il reaches American shores. In his
last report TO the mayor and city council
he suggested that additional Legislation
was required IN relation to ten
ement houses, lodging houses, school
houses and manufactures, and
after defining such structures
asked that laws be passed that would be
compel the owners, leases, managers or
tenants of such buildings to see that they
were prop rly lighted, ventilated and
drained. He further suggested the passage
of an ordinance providing that no brick
kiln should be located, or soap factory,
slaughter house, bone and rendering fac
tory be erected within 200 feet oil any
dwelling house, without the written con-
sent Of the owner aud occupant of any
suck house; and also to prohibit the cree
ton of any building to be used in manu-
featuring or produo ing ally article, the
manufacturing of which is injurious to the
public health, or which in the manufacture
thereof emiis an offensive odor, without OBJ
tanning a similar consent of the property
owner ard tenant whose dwelling may be
located within 300 feet of such building or
mandatory. He also recommended some
necessary legislation in relation 10 the
construction and government OF vaults"

CURIOUS CHRONICLES.
NEW TANNING BARK.

4
The tannekaya bark, which comes
from New Zealand, and is new agent
in tanning, is one of the novelties of
commerce. This discovery is very
recent. In 1873 the whole export
from New Zealand was fifteen tons.
but last year it was 375. The greater
part of the export is t. ken to Greno-
bic, France, where it is used in dress
ing leather for gloves. The price of
this bark in its native country is $40
per ton, and the freight is as much
more. Hence it has been proposed to
make the tree one of our own pro.
ducts, since the bark has at times been
worth $3.50 per ton. 1t contains 28.-
60 per cent. of tanniD, whereas oak
bark contains only S.S5 and hemlOck
80. The tannekaya tree is very
beautiful, and, as its timber is very
useful, it has every point of value.
Being of the fir species, it is well
adapted to the light soil of the south,
and might do much to enrich that
part of the Union.
THE ROSEWOOD TREE.
Rosewood trees are found in South
America and in the East Indies and
neighboring islands. There are half
a dozen kinds. The name is not
taken from the color of the wood, as
is generally supposed, but by reason
OF rose like fragrance which posses
ses it when first cut. Some of the
trees grow so large that planks feet
broad and 10 feet long can be cut
from them. The broad planks are
principally used to make tops for
piano fortes. The rosewood tree is
for its beauty. Such is
its value In manufactures as an orna-
mental wood that some of the forests
where it once grew abundantly have
now scarcely single specimen. New
plantations have been set out, 30 that
the supply will not be exhausted.
A FASHIONABLE FLOWER.
Rochester Democrat and Chronicle:
The fashionable flower at this season
is the chrysantheum. It presents
such variety of shades and hues as
to form by itself boquet of the love-
lest sort. There are colors almost
without end-maroon, violet, cinna-
mon, purple, buff, ruby, orange, pink,
salmon cherry, ivory and silver white
and many others. At the chrysanthe-
I'm show in New York one of the
most curious exhibited was Julius
'charof, a Japanese Variety the
blossom shown was about six inches
n diameter, the quilted rays of dark
ose color, curved and twisted with
he tips pointing in all directions,
making it marked flower. lir2n

Beware of the Burberry.

let pass as true all that has been
claimed for the barberry as a hedge
plant. But, as biologists have long
shown, this mischievous shrub has one
disadvantage which would counterbal-
anca its alleged merits though they were
increased a hundredfold. BY the time
to appear upon them swellings and
whitish blotches about the size of pin
head, which soon develop into minute
cups full of bright yellow powder.
This stage of the pest is known as the
cluster-cu or @cidium stage, and this
yellow powder consists OF an almost in
finite number of minute cells, the spores.
These spores, light as dust, are waited
by the wind TO the wheat, ~oats and
sometimes other grasses, lodging upon
which they terminate and soon produce
the elongated lines of reddish orange
spores too familiar to farmers as the
''red rust -pnceinid gram mas.
Though but few spores from the
barberry reach the whe field, the cred
rust" developed from them spreads with
enormous rapidity by means of the ds-
persion and growth OF the orange-col-
ored spores, multiplying so rapidly that
the wheat plants always have their vi
tality greatly impaired, and are fire.
quently destroyed before reaching ma
turity. In the late summer, the stubble
of field which has been attacked by
rust will be found to have many
elongated lines of black spores upon it.
These two-celled spores remain on the
stubble unframed by the winters snow
and ice, terminate early in spring,
sending out from each cell a branehed
filament, each branch of which ends in
a minute enlargement (called sporid-
ium). These sporidia, excessively
small and light, are easily broken of
and transported by the wind in any
direction. When they lodge upon the
proper plant, which in this case Is the
barberry, they produce again the stage
with which the cycle started, the cluster
cup.
The moral is obvious. The man who
ornaments his yard with barberry
bushes, or hedges his fields with them,
is providing one of the two needful
plants for the propagation of crust, -
and he need not be astonished if, during
a suitable summer, his promising field
of wheat or oats is almost ruined. But
he is not only laying up rust for himself
against the day of harvest, but he forces
the same destruction upon his helpless
neighbors for miles around. We can
not control the wind nor can we prevent
the barberry spores from terminating
on the wheat, but we can cease Cor not
beginl furnishing an appropriate host
for the rust fungus. To be sure, wheat
rust is propagated from year to year by
spores which may adhere to the grains,
but there is an easy preventive for such
dissemination by soaking the grain in a
solution OF blue vitriol. It is certainly
to be hoped that no one will be so fool
ish for himself and so inconsiderate of
his neighbors as to plant barberry
hedges.-C. e. Barnes, Purdue Unirer.
