THE speech from the throne with which
Emperor William recently opened the Reich
stag was this time printed in especially large
and lerible letters-instead of being, as here
tOfOre, written for him-oWlng to the fact that
the aged monarch can no longer read writing
very fluently without the use of spectacles, to
wear which he deems out of place when in
uniform and on solemn occasions.
A MINOR INCIDENT of kossuth's visit to this
country in 1851 illustrates the way in which
fashions in dress are sometimes originated.
The eloquent Hungarian wore a soft felt hat,
which became fashionable for young men,
being reproduced in the shops under the
name of the KOssuth hat. Until that time
felt hats were almost unknown in this coun-
try and in Europe, as Herbert Spencer has
pointed out, they were worn only by q few
political agitatOrs.
ONE Lendert de Brayn, HOllander, may
be termed the Yahrina Farina of American
celery raising. Fifteen years ago Brayn was
q poor gardener engaged in tilling some
marshy land near Kalamazoo, Mich. He tried
celery when most other things had failed, and
to-day he is a rich man and the Kalamazoo
esculent is famed the country over. In Allie
gan county what was a dozen years ago
swamp is to day a vast celery field, beside
which a hundred-acre lot Is but a garden.
The shipping season begins in July, increases
until the holidays, then gradually decreases
until the crop Is disposed OF in the spring.
Fifty tons daily are now being sent out, and
the crop of 1884 Will reach 5000 tons. Twenty
thousand stalks are raised upon an acre OF
ground, and the wholesale price averages lSc
per dozen stalks. Two thousand persons in
the vicinity of Kalamazoo are engaged in
cpinrv raising.

disease. The method prescribed for con-
Quoting the exhumatiOn, removal and
refinement was as follows: ''ro have
the labor performed by some one VINO had
recovered from the disease, or had been
recently vaccinated, then to excaVate
down to the coffin, and place pan nlled
with live Goals of fire upon the CONN,
and pour thereon not less than a
pound of sulphur (broken roll
brimstOne), afterwards Immediately
cover the open grave closely and allow
il TO remain over night before removal
of the remains. Whatever was found Tor
removal should be wrapped in sheets
saturated with a 80 per cent. solution OF
chloride of zinc, then placed in a tight
coffin: the coffin should be then packed IN
sawdust in a large box, the sawdust being
saturated with the same solution. IL
should not be unpacked, but carried with
reasonable speed and Immediately buried
at the place desired without any gather
ing of people or funeral ceremonies.
Other disinfectants besides, or instead oil
the chloride Of zinc, may be used If pre-
ferred."
There are indications that there will be
considerable discussion of the question of
the persistence of infectious disease
germs, and no doubt the cremationists
will use Dr. Lindsay's letter to back up
their arguments in support of tAeir
hobby. AS crematOries continue to
increase in number the question will soon
be brought home to the inhabitants Of the
| larger cities in this country, as 1t
already has been presented IN Bra
| al and portions of Europe. Compulsory
| cremation without regard to the wishes
of relatives and friends Of the bodies OF
| those who die of infectious and conta-
| gious diseases, is now advocated by many
| influential physicians. This is not likely
to become popular with the masses, at
| least not in the near future, and attempts
to enforce it during this generation will
provoke, probably, powerful II not
violent opposition. 1t is proper,
therefore, that those charged with athe
| burial of the bodies of persons who die OF
| such diseases should not only be instruct
ed and required to exercise great caution,
| but removals of such bodies should rarely
be permitted. This subject is especially
important to the people of communities
where there are no officers whose duty it
| is to look after burials and disinterments.

Retaliation Threatened.

While our diplomats have been working
to efet a treaty with Spain, which is so
favorable to that country as TO make 1t
unpopular in this, they have neglected to
take any steps to insure to the agricul-
turists of America the continuance Of the
most valuable markets for our breadstufs
and provisions.
The history OF the prohibition OF the i'm
p0rtation Of American pork into
Germany and France is still fresh in
the minds Of our people. England has
laid restrictions on the importation OF
American beef cattle, and the indications
are that both France and England Will
soon inaugurate a retaliatory protective
policy that will practically rule American
breadstuffs out of the markets OF those
countries. The narrOw-minded policy OF
the protectionists, which has placed pro-
hibitOry import duties on English ana
French manufactures il order to benent a
small favored class at the expense Of fifty
millions Of our own people, is about to
produce its legitimate results, and mate
rally i1Jure, if not almost destroy, the
great agricultural interests on which the
prosperity Of the country really depend.
When the principal markets for American
produce are cut off from US what Will
become Of the boosted home market for
American manufactures? This is a ques-
ton that may well command the atten-
ton of the manufacturers, as well as the
agriculturists, of the United States.
1t is a well known fact that within the
last few years France has been anxious tC
make commercial treaty with our gov
eminent, and no doubt had the councils o.
the nation not been in the hands of tht
rObber tariff men treaties could have beer
made not only with France but with the
other European powers, which would
have secured our agricultuTists a ia
vorable market for a generation Il
come. The trade of Cuba anC
South America is small compared witt
that Of the European markets. 1t is no
,possible that England may one day
% 1pt an antagonistic policy even in re
8 d to tn APPROPRIATION of American cot
Ia in the 5erest of her own cotton pro
rfing dependencies. No doubt she vii
gopt such a policy as soon as her cotton
Rroducing interests equal her cOttoI
manufacturing interests. Give our agri
| culturists some chance.
