EARD NIT.

The enemies Of Nevada continue
their terrible assaults upon it. The
Stockton Mail says.
The decision of Judge Sullivan
in the Hill-Sharon case is in direct
line with popular sentiment in re-
gard to the claims of the woman
who sued Sharon to secure her
rights as his wife. The public be-
lieve that the plaintiff Miss Hill
in the celebrated divorce case, now
formally adjudged to be Mrs.
Sharon, is, as she claims and as
the Court has decided, Sharon's
lawful wife, who entered into the
marriage relation in good faith SO
far as she was concerned. This
has been the opinion Of the Mail
from the cay that proceedings in
behalf of the injured wife were
instituted. Sharon is now presen-
ted in the light not only Of per-
iurer, but of wretch who publicly
ly denied his wife and endeavored
to prove her disreputable charac-
ter. Notwithstanding that she had
been admitted into his family on
an equal footing with his daughters.
Yet this man was once permitted
to purchase seat in the United
States Senate. Just think of it.
Nevada is the State that willingly
submitted to the outrage. One of
the strongest reasons why she
should be bereft of her Statehood
is the disgraceful fact that Sharon
once represented her, with her
knowledge and consent, in the Fed
eral Senate.

THE TIMBER INTERESTS.

The Sacramento Bee says: "There
is lesson of the recent severe
storm written upon the serried hill
side and the face Of the rushing
waters that this people will be
more than foolish to permit to pass
unheeded. No one who has been
ordinarily observant can have failed
to notice that with each year the
descending rains in the mountains
come down to the valleys with
greater speed and in regularly
briefer spaces Of time. We have
not to look far for the cause.-the
denudation of our upper mountain
slopes. History will make perma-
nent of record our recklessness in
no distant future. Wherever fer
tile plain or luxuriant valley has
been changed to parched desert

been the result of human agency.

A Soldiers Suicide.

Thomas Perkins, a regular army soldier, died
at the Arsenal yesterday morning, at o'clock,
from the effects, it is believed, of poison, taken
with suicidal intent He enlisted in the army
only fourteen days ago, and was ordered to the
barracks at Columbus, but he deserted on last
Tuesday and returned to this city. He was ar
rested at the Massachusetts, avenue depot while
en- route to Noblesville and was sent to the
Arsenal on Wednesday. When searched at the
station-house by Turnkey Taffe, small package
of white powder found in his possession,
which Perkins claimed was used for toothache,
and he was permitted to take it with him when
he was sent TO the Arsenal 1t is believed that
the drug was poison and the circumstances of
his sudden and violent death confirm this belief.

RAISING OAKS.

A Western writer advises people who
desire to raise oaks that they must be
careful in selecting species that will
grow to large trees and maze good
timber. for there are many dwarf spe-
cies that will never make trees, no
matter how much care is bestowed
upon them. The white oaks are, also,
as rule, preferable to the black or
red oaks, as the timber is tougher and
more valuable. Some of the white
oaks, common to the Pacific slope. may
extend as far eastward as Dakota; if so,
they are the trees you want. The
acorns should be gathered as soon as
ripe, or as they fall from the trees.
After being dried for few hours three
or four days will not injure them), they
may be planted and covered with lit
tie very light, loose soil, or half-de-
composed leaves from the woods But
when sown in the fall there is danger
of loss from the visits of squirrels or
mice, and for this reason the safest
plan is tomix sand with the acorns
and keep them in boxes or barrels I'M
til the following spring, and then SOW
in shallow drills and cover lightly with
fine soil. The barrels or boxes con-
tanning the acorns should be placed in
as cool position as possible, to pre-
vent sproutinS. The north side OF
some building, or in the shade of ever
green trees, will usually answer, and
ii the acorns can he kept frozen all
winter, so much the better. They
should not be allowed to become SO
dry that they will shrivel, or 50 wet as
to become water-soaked. Just fairly
moist is the proper condition. The
acorns may be sown in drills quite
thckly and the young plants kept free
of weeds during the summer. The
seedlings may be transplanted when
one year old, or left in the seed-bed
until they are two years old, and then
transplanted into nursery rows, where
they should remain until they are four
to six feet high, at which time they
may be removed and set out to grow
up into forest.

CELERY GROWING.

In the prize essay on Celery" in
Vick'S Magazine, Mrs. G. ii. Root. of
Ripon, Wis, recommends the follow
ing method OF preparing for and cult
waiting the crop: |. Send where you
will be sure to get good seed. 2. Pre-
pare a seed-bed out of doors in a shell
tered situation. You will get your
plants early enough by so doing, for
they grow much faster and are strong
er than when grown in hot-bed.
3. Sprinkle the bed often to keep it
moist, and when the young plants are
about three incher high transplant
them into rows about one foot from
each other. 4. When the plants have
become stocky, have trench dug
about one foot deep, but into it equal
parts of wood-ashes and good rich
dressing, and rich, black soil, and
work altogether with hoe. 5. Set the
plants about four or five inches
apart, and be sure to straighten out
the roofs and press the soil firmly
about them. 6. Sprinkle roots enough
to keep them fresh Until they are firm
in their places, and then give them all
the water you have mind to, the more
the better. Z. When they have made
growth enough TO cause the branches
to lie over, hill up enough to hold the
stalks erect. Continue the killing pro-
cess at intervals of two weeks, all sum
mer, being careful to do it when the
weather is dry, and in the afternoon
when the dew is of. Be sure. when
killing, to hold the stocks together, to
prevent the soil from getting into the
hearts OF the plants. s. Such portion
as you wish for early celery, bank to
the top by the first of September; for
winter use bank to the top from the
first to the middle of October.

Millions in Petroleum.

There are 20, 600 producing oil wells
in Pennsylvania, yielding at present
60, 600 barrels of oil day. II requires
5000 miles of pipe line and LOGO iron
tanks of an Average capacity OF 20, 900
barrels each to transport and store the
oil and surplus stocks. There are now
nearly 3S, 600, 600 barrels of oil stored
in the region in tanks. This oil would
make lake more than mile square
and ten feet deep. The money actually
invested in petroleum production since
1860 is estimated to be more than 1926
600. 600, of which 5000, 100000 was
capital from New York City. Since
1880 more than $l2, 600 has been
used in building iron tanks, and nearly
as much III pipe lines, all by one cor
poration. The tanks cost on an aver
age $4,000 each. A 35, OOO-b barrel tank
is ninety feet in diameter and twenty
eight feet high. There is lateral
pressure of 5000 pounds on each
square inch of Il tank of this size when
full of OIL There is 100 tons of iron
used in constructing one.
The speculative transactions in pc
troleum represent more than $500 OOO,-
600 annually. The lowest price crude
petroleum ever brought was 10 cent q
barrel in 1861. In 1859, when there
was only one we'll in existence, Colonel
brakes Pioneer at Titusyille, the price
was $24 barrel. Besides the 5000
miles OF pipe line in use in the oil
regions Lhcre are in operation |, 200
miles of trunk pipe lines connecting the
region with Cleveland, Pittsburg,
Buffalo and New York, and lines build
ing TO Philadelphia and Baltimore. In
the line between OeaD and New York
10000 barrels of oil are transported
daily. These lines are all the prop
erty of the Standard Oil Company, cx-
cept one between Bradford and Will
Transport, Pa. The Standard employs
100, 600 men. The product of its reiin-
cries requires the making of Is, 900 oak
barrels OF forty gallons each, and lOO,-
600 tin cans, holding five gallons each,
every day. The first American pc
troleum exported was in 1862. Chas.
Lockart, of Pittsburg, sent nearly Co.,
600 gallons to Europe in that year and
sold it for $4,000 less than the cost OF
transportation. In 1888 nearly 4OO,-
00O 900 gallons were exported, for
which $50, 000,0 900 were returned to
this couDtry.-N Y Sun.

PACKING BUTTER IN BRINE.

A method of packing butter for its
more perfect preservation, and one
which is very effective, has long been
in use in England. 1t has been resom-
mended in this country, but has not
been adopted, so far as we know. 1t
is to pack the butter in cylindrical
bags of muslin, which are put in n
mold for the purpose. These bags hold
about two pounds, and when filled are
tied tightly and packed away in brine,
in tubs, pals or casks, and are headed
up just as picked pork is. The butter
will absorb no more salt, is perfectly
free from atmospheric exposure, is en-
veloped in an antiseptc fluid, and is
therefore entirely safe from change,
excepting so far as this may occur in
ternally from within by the natural
process called ripening, and which is
due to the change of the milk sugar
Qactose) in the butter into milk Qac-
tice) acid, this into butyric acid by a
well understood chemical transforma-
ton of the elements. But this change
goes on SO slowly that the butter mere
ly acquires high and agreeable flavor
and no strong scent or taste is devel-
oped which would approach rancidity.
This manner of packing butter has
long been in use in some districts of
England, and the supply furnished to
the large universities at Oxford and
Cambridge have been put up in SIM
liar way for many years. The butter
is made in long rolls about two inches
in diameter, and these are wrapped in
muslin and the edge secured by some
stitches, the ends being tied. This
form of roll is well-known as college
butter" and is found very convenient
for use by cutting off thin slices, each
of which is single ration for stu
dent. 1t might be found very useful
here for the use of hotels and caterers.
who would be relieved of the trouble of
molding their own cakes, which to
some extent Injuries the quality Of the
butter.

Attentions After Marriage.

The beautiful attentions which were
so pleasing before marriage are too
often forgotten afterwards, writes one
who has learned from experience. The
music dies out of the voice; everything
is taken for granted, and the love that,
like the silver jet of fountain leaped
to heaven, denied its natural outlet,
ceases to flow altogether. Then comes
dull, heavy, hard days, with two I'M
happy ones tied together wishing them
selves apart and not always content
with merely wishing.
This is unnatural and wrong. What
married life wants to give it new tone
and sweetness, is more Of the manner
as well as the spirit of the counting
time. Very much of the pleasure OF
courtship comes from the constant at
tentions of the parties to each other.
Their affection voices itself in all pos
sible ways, Every sentence is edged
with compliment, and spoken in
tender tones. Every look is a con-
fession. Every act is a new word OF
the eXhauslless vocabulary of love.
And it is the fact that affection con-
fesses itself continually in look and
word and act, making the voice musi-
cal and the fingers poetic in their touch
and doing that makes the experience
SO beautiful, the only Eden many a
woman has on earth.
Love must have expression or it will
die. 1t can be kept forever, beautiful
and blessed as at first, by giving il
constant utterance in word and act.
The more it is allowed TO flow in deli
cate attentions and noble service, the
stronger and more satisfying and more
blessed will it be. The house becomes
home only when love dropsits heavenly
mama in it fresh every day, and the
true marriage vow is not made once for
all at the altar, but by loving words,
helpful services and delicate attentions
to the end. - YOnberS Statesman.

Ceremonies In the Tower.

There are some curious ceremonies
still kept up in the tower Of London,
and among these perhaps that of
docking up the tower is the most
ancient, and certainly the most stately,
one. A few minutes before the clock
strikes IL the yeoman porter, with an
attendant, appears before the main
guard carrying a lantern, and
calls out: Escort keys" The guard
Supplied always from the queens
household troops) then turns out the
escorts "keys" to the outer gate, called
the spur" each sentry challenging as
they pass his post, "Who goes there?"
Keys" After the gates are securely
locked and barred the procession re-
turns, the sentries evacting the same
explanation as before. When they
come in front of the main guard house
the sentry stationed there gives loud
stamp Oh the ground with his foot and
demands. "Who goes there "Kevs."
Whose Kcy>P' Queen Vicloria's
KEYS" Pass Queen Victoria ; KEYS,
and all's well" Tie woman porter
then calls out: "Goi bless Queen
Victorial' TO which the main guard re-
spends Amen The guard then pre-
SCENTS arms, the OIL eer then kisses the
hilt of his sword, and the keys are de-
posted n the lieu,enant's lodging.
After this all ingress and egress are
totally prohibited. BdldVtn's Monthly.
