Che Interstate Commerce Bill

WASHINGTON, July 5 SENATE Con
sideration of the Interstate commerce
bill. Miller, of New York, moved to
postpone until December next, stating
that, while his full sympathy was with
the purpose of the bill, it was manifest
that it was the most important measure
of the session and could not be properly
discussed in the time now at the disposal
of the Senate. Miller's motion was
agreed to and the bill goes over accord
cordingly.

FARM, GARDEN AND HOME.
The Old School Eoa1c.
BY FRED WOODROW.

BY FRED WOODROW.
The old school house, Friend John You can
recollect il we'll;
The roof OF red, the yellow wall, the big old
fashioned bell;
The oaken bench on which we sat, the quaint old
windoW-pane,
Where glinted in thousand stars the sunshine
after rain.
The old hedge-row is yet as green, the elm-tree
just as straight
And still the patch of buttercup behind the
wooden gate;
The blackbird whistles in the ash, the swallows
come and go,
And still the gold of Summer sun and the white
OF Winter snow
The little folks bring now, as then, the morning
bunch of May,
And berries red drops of blood on every
Christmas day,
And hand in hand go down to church, along the
Mundham lane,
And, kneellng on the same old bench, repeat our
prayers again.
But lad and lass of olden DAYS Friend John are
scattered far.
Under the light of the Southern Cross, under the
Northern star;
Old Ned is in seaman's shroud, somewhere off
Haisboro light.
And a soldiers cloak the winding sheet OF
Langley, Brook and White.
And there are graves we daily see, where the
daisies always grow,
Anu spFeduS green uIllTOuleI Iuf1 on SuCll as
sleep below;
And few ofus who gathered once from village
green and moor
VIII ever meet again. Friend John, around the
sehool-house door.
But you and are left to watch as others pass
away.
And count the role of years and graves. Now we
are old and grey;
And when we with the rest are gone, still troop
ing up the lane
VIII come and go the future boy to tell our tale
again.

The editor went to the farm and set q

wrote headline which read: "Killin'

How to Get Rid of the CurcuIio.

The curculio is the great enemy; if
we can provide a remedy for him we
may easily raise plums. In looking
over the orchards of Iowa, found that
where the trees stood in a yard or lot
overrun with pigs and poultry, or in
rather hard bare ground the curculio is
very seldom injurious. A man III Ohio
had two choice trees near his house.
which were often full, but were taken
by the curculio. A brick pavement was
laid all around them, after which the
plums ripened all right. 4 man in Hi
nois had large orchard of choice va
rieties of plums, but the curcul1o took
them every year. He threatened to
cut them down and make yard for his
pigs instead, but his family persuaded
him to fence the trees and let them
stand. He did SO, and yarded his pigs
around the trees, and obtained a crop
of choice plums nearly every
year thereafter. An intelligent gentle
man once told me that he had mulched
previously unproductive plum orchard
with turnip tops and secured a good
crop. My theory is that the insect laws
an egg, which becomes q worm and falls
to the ground. The worm then enters
the ground and in due time comes out a
beetle to sting the plums again, and if
1t cannot enter the ground, dies or is
eaten up by animals. Coal ashes, SCOT
or salt, scattered below the trees, would
probably stop them. Another man,
who had two dozen plum trees in a
chicken yard, almost always obtained a
good crop. l have found some of the
above conditions in all cases where good
crops were obtained, unless the trees

The New Train Signal.

lfToln the Railway Review
The Pennsylvania Railroad has
adopted the Westinghouse train signal
apparatus as a substitute for the bell
cord. Compressed air is conveyed
through the cars IN separate set of
tubes from those used for the brakes
but supplied by the same pump. The
air passes from the main reservoir of
the engine through reducing valve to
the signaling pipe; this valve keeps the
air at pressure of only Is pounds per
square inch. In the signaling valve at
the engine end of the pipe is a dia-
phragm. When the pressure in the
train pipe is reduced the pressure on
the under side of this diaphragm causes
1t to rise, opening communication be-
tween the reservoir of compressed air
aud the whistle, which is thus sounded.
In the saloon of each car is valve for
permitting the air to escape from the
pipe. This valve is opened by means
of small lever, to which the bell-cord
is attached. The conductor can then
sound the whistle from ally part of the
train.

requires less motions, and Is therefore
more expeditions; it affords greater ease
in breaking the ear off, and is less wear
ing on the hands. Besides, when the
ear is broken off it is in the right hand,
and in the best position for throwing on

Scraps.
BOILED tripe, fried to very light
brown in butter, and then sprinkled
with salt and pepper, is said to taste
precisely like mushrooms.
A GOOD plan for storing white pota-
toes is to place them on a loft or floor
where there is circulation of air under
meath, and while piiing them up scatter
little lime (slackedl throughout the
lot. Should any potatoes show signs of
decay they should be picked out.
THE operation of stoning raisins may
be FASTENED greatly If a glass of water
stands conveniently near so that you
can dip your fingers into it at intervals.
THE night before a picnic, boil some
eggs until they are very hard; then
drop them into can or jar in which
you have some picked Deets. In the

To preserve the large plums that
have tough skins, it is necessary first
of all to remove the skins. This may
be done very easily by dropping few
of the plums at time into hot water,
then with sharp knife removing the
skins. Cut the plums in halves, drop
them into syrup made of sugar and
water. The plums should be weighed,
and an equal quantity of sugar should
be set aside for the syrup. Let them
cook so gently that they will keep their
shape. Take them from the syrup with
a skinner, put them into the cans, and
pour the syrup over them, having first
removed the scum from it.

Mason & HAMIdN commenced as melodeon
makers ID 1854. They soon introduced the i'm
proved instrument now known as the organ, or
American organ, as it is termed IN Europe.
The new instrument proved so superior that it
soon took the place of everything else IN this
country, being adopted and manufactured by
all who had previously made melodeon7, and
many others who were induced to commence
the business by the rapidly growing demand.
Now about $4,000 American organs are made
and sold yearly. Those by the Mason Ham
