The Umbrella Racket.

A Hartford Conn., man was de.
nouncing Newspaper advertising to a
crowd of listeners.
"Last week." said he, 81 had an
umbrella stolen from the vestibule Of
the church. 1t was gift, and valu-
ing it very highly, l spent double the
worth in advertising, but l have not
recovered it,"
GLOW did you word the advertise.
ment?" asked the merchant.
"Here it is" said the man, produc-
ing slip out from a newspaper.
The merchant took it and read:
"Lost from the vestibule of the -
Church last Sunday evening a black
silk umbrella. The gentleman who
took it will be handsomely rewarded
by leaving it at No =, San Fernando
street.
"Now," said the merchant, II am a
liberal advertiser, and have always
found it paid me well. A great deal
depends upon the manner in which
an advertisement is put. Let us try
for your umbrella again, and if you do
not then acknowledge that advertising
pays, | will purchase you new one"
The merchant then took slip of
paper from his pocket and wrote:
eff the man who was seen to take
an umbrella from the vestibule of -
Church last Sunday does not want to
get into trouble and have stain cast
upon his Christian character, which he
values SO highly, he will return it at
once to No. -, San Fernando street.
He is well known"
This duly appeared in the paper, and
the following morning the man was as
tonished when he opened the front
door of his residence. On the porch
lay at least half dozen umbrellas OF
all shades and sizes, that had been
thrown in from the sidewalk, while the
front yard was literally paved with
umbrellas. Many Of them had notes
attached to them, saying that they had
been taken by mistake, and begging
the loser to keep the affair quiet

It's A Telephone.

A well-to-do but unsophisticated
farmer from one of the border coun.
ties of Indiana was in the city lately,
attending the Fat Stock Show, and
brought along his wife and daughters
to see the sights and do some shopping.
Among other places they visited was
MandePs new store, and after wander
ing around the first floor for awhile the
party came to stop near the eleva>
tors.
One of the daughters was first to
discover the cars moving up and down,
receiving and discharging their cargoes
of passengers. She jerked her fathers
coat sleeve to direct his attention to the
phenomenon, and in a tone that was
audible to the clerks in the neighbor-
hood, asked:
"What's that, paw?-that thing go.
ing up and down, with sofys in it2
The old man gave the elevator a
long, calm, deliberate, scrutinizing
stare, and exclaimed with joy:

lever see. Chicago Inter Ocean.

the same time. After the composition
has cooled sufficiently work it well
with the hands. For outdoor work in
cool weather this wax is rather hard,
but if carried in vessel where it can
be occasionally warmed it is readily
applied and is quite durable.
All the above kinds of wax may be
spread upon cloth or tough paper with
brush when warm, and after it has
cooled the paper or cloth may be cut
up into narrow strips of any conven-
lent size. In what is called splice or
whip grating, these strips Of waxed
cloth are very convenient for wrapping
about the parts united. A French
mastic known as "Lefort's Liquid
Grating Wax" is made by melting
one pound of common rosin over a
gentle fire and adding one ounce of
beef tallow, the latter to be well stirred
in. Take it from the fire, let it cool
down a little and then mix in eight
ounces of alcohol. The alcohol will
cool down the mixture so rapidly that
it may be necessary to put it on the
fire again. The utmost care must be
exercised to prevent the alcohol taking
fire. This mastic is highly recommend
ed by the nurserymen of France, and
it has been used to some extent in this
country for several years. 1t is 'im>
ported in tin boxes and usually kept
on sale at seed stores.
We might give many other receipts
for making grating wax and mastics,
but believe that the above are the
best, and that the one made simply Of
rosin, beeswax and tallow is as good as
any ever invented. Some nurserymen
of late years have substituted linseed
oil for tallow, and while it may answer
for some kind of trees, we are inclined
to think it is injurious to those with
very thin bark. We have known sew.
eral instances where losses have occur
red that were attributed to the use Of
oil in making the wax used in grating.

Agricultural Experiment Stations.

About the beginning of this century
an in interest in all branches of agri-
cultural science began to engage the
attention and offer an inviting field to
investigators. The increasing popula>
ton, and the decreased fertility of ex-
hausted soils, indicated to thoughtful
minds the necessity of inquiry, and
search for remedies; and in successive
years Priestly, Lavoisier, Liebig, Bous-
singault, Lawes and Gilbert, and nu-
merous others, studied agricultural
questions in a scientific manner. In
1851 the first Agricultural Experiment
Station was founded in Saxony by
society Of farmers. Its value became
SO apparent that it was at once recog-
nized by the Covenant, and others
soon followed, until now there are one
hundred and thirty stations in Europe,
eighty in Germany alone. But with
this enthusiasm in Europe, progressive
Americans were long at a stand still,
owing chiefly to an essential difference
in our agricultural system. Our lands
were broad and fertile. Though some
on the eastern seaboard were showing
loss; it was easier to draw on virgin
soil than to redeem the old; and only
when the exhausted acres reached an
important proportion of the whole, did
we begin to listen to the claims of
agricultural science.
In 1875 the first Agricultural Expe-
riment Station proper, in the United
States, was established at the Wesley.
an University, at Middletown, Conn.,,
after much earnest effort by intelligent
farmers by the aid of small appro-
priation by the Legislature, stimulated
by a liberal donation from philan>
thrOpic citizen, and the free tender of
college laboratories, etc, Its success and
usefulness were so manifest that larger
annual appropriations were provided,
and the Station, accepting the profered
appliance of the Sheffield Scientific
School of Yale College, has now build,
ings of its own in the suberbs Of New
Haven. In 1878 North Carolina pro-
vided a Station now in operation at
Raleigh. In 1880 the New Jersey
State Station was started in connection
with Rutgers College, at New Bruins
wick, near which is the State Experi>
mental farm. In 1881 the New York
Legislature provided for an annual APP
preparation of Twenty Thousand Doll
lars for an Agricultural Experiment
Station, which began work at Geneva
in 1882. 1t is the best equipped one
in this country. In 1882 Ohio found>
ed Station at the State University at
Columbus. The same year Massachu-
sets incorporated Station that began
work in July 1883. These comprise
the public Agricultural Experiment
Stations of our country. In addition
most of the Agricultural colleges car
ry on some special line of investiga.
ton. The only Station in the United
States supported privately and yet con-
Quoted on scientific principles, is that at
Houghton Farm, Orange county, N.
Y, established in 1876. This briefly
is the history and presents status of or.
gained research in agricultural science
