Shocking to the Family.

WASHINGTON, April 10.-General F. T. Dent, brother in-law of General Grant, who has just returned here, says the generals family have become reconciled to the fact that he cannot recover, but they are shocked by the pictures which appear in the newspa- pers describing imaginary scenes in the sick room and around the house. The discussion
 as to where the general is to be buried is also
 source of annoyance to the family. They
 have given the subject no consideration and
 would prefer to have it postponed.

 A New Theory of the Cancer.
 WASHINGTON, April 10.-The cigar dealer who supplied General Grant with cigars dur ing his residence here has a new theory of the cause of the generals cancer He says General Grant did not smoke very strong cigars, nor half as many as has been general ly supposed. The impression that he smoked constantly was due to his almost always hay ing cigar in his mouth. It was his habit to keep a cigar in his mouth sometimes for an hour or two during conversation, after the fire was extinguished The dealer be- heves that the nicotine from the cigars thus retained in the mouth was the origin of the generals disease

Early BOOkmaking.

Bookmaking, five hundred years ago,
was a costly business. The bill for de,
signing and writing manuscript in
1902 has just come TO light The parch-
ment, the writings, the miniatures, the
silver nails, gold plated and enameled,
ink figures, seventy smaller gold plated
silver nails, a gold-plated silver clasp,
skyblue satin, and binding together
cost, according to present value $1s6,
the miniatures alone costing $50. The
missal is now no longer extant, but it is
called pulcherrimum ct elegantissimum
in the bill. In the early middle ages a
man would take a simple rough sheep
skin, and with his own hands convert it
into missal, illuminated and ''noted''
for music. Among other interesting
particulars brought before the reader, we
learn that the process of the inquisition
against the Knight Templars was en-
crossed on roll more than seventy feet
Tonga charge inevitably as fatal as that
brought by the Spartan judges against
the poor Plataans after the fearful two
years siegc.-Paper World.

How an Insect Breathes.

If we take any moderately large in
sect, say wasp or hornet, we can see.
even with the naked eye, that series of
small, spot-like marks run along either
side of the body. These apparent spots,
which are generally eighteen or twenty
in number, are, in fact. the apertures
through which air is admitted into the
system, and are generally formed in such
a manner that no extraneous matter can
by any possibility find entrance. Some.
times they are furnished with pair of
horny lips, which can be opened and
closed at the will of the insect: in other
cases they are densely fringed with still
interlacing bristles, forming a filter,
which allows air, and air alone, to pass.
But the apparatus, of whatever character
it may be. is always so wonderfully per-
feet In its action that it has been found
impossible to inject the body of dead
insect with even so subtitle medium as
spirits of wine, although the subject was
first immersed in the fluid and then
placed beneath the receiver of an air
pump.-Bostoa Budget.

Farm and Garden Notes.

Oats and peas, sown together, render
a large yield of excellent feed for stock,
especially sheep.
Under the pasturing and hay system of
feeding, four or five acres are needed to
keep a cow year. With ensilaged corn
fodder and soiling in summer, every
acre may be made to keep its COW, pro-
vided the soil is made rich enough.
1t will rarely pay to buy chemicals for
mixing as manures, unless farmer is
prepared it do it on large scale. A
little gives more bother than profit. But
these purchased fertilizers may often be
pro6tably composted in the manure heap
and all drawn out together.

cooked food will cause more rapid in

Rebuking Curiosity.

The other day a MISUNDERSTANDING
stranger appeared in Petaluma, ana re-
NAMED five days without the inhabitants
finding out his name, where he came from,
or his business Even the bar-room loaf
ers were bafflcd in their attcmps to ex-
tract some definite information, and the
entire town lay awake O. nights worrying
over the matter At last the general agi-
tation grew to such pitch that the sheriff
volunteered to interview the stranger IN
behalf of the public veal. Approaching
the tactiturn visitor, as he sat IN the
Office of the hotel, the functionary re-
marked, -
"Finc day, sir"

''Going to stay long in these parts?''
Just four days, two hours and thirty
one minutes longer" replied the other,
consulting his watch and the notable.
''Thcn may 1cr-ahcm! may l ask
what your business is?' persisted inc
sheriff, as the crowd gathered up closer.
"Wcll. Idon't wish it general Y known,
replied the stranger. c"nlidcntially; 'out
I'm a Russian Nihiiist."
you don't mean it?" gasped the
official.

ent. When tired they will run wildly
off the trail, up and down the hill, and
bite at every green thing they see. In
camp at night they will stand perfectly
quiet till their saddles or aparejos (pack
saddles) are taken of, and then it usually
takes the combined labor of several men
to remove the bride or headstall. Then
they will roll frantically in the dirt for a
while. When the corn for their feed is
spread out, they will gather around it
and socially kick each other till their
ribs crack. They will not eat over a
handful of corn each, and will then 20
off and browse on dry grass and leaves.
In the mornining they will meekly form
themselves in rank in front of the apare-
jos and quietly submit to be packed, only
INDUCING in little kicking among
themselves

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD!
Corn.

Corn is plant that is exceedingly
amenable to culture. A farmer may very
easily improve bis seed corn by little
care in selection and some in cultivation.
The great loss in growing corn is in the
production of Barren stalks, male plants,
which yield no fruit. The ear is the
fruit and is produced only by perfect
plants which are bi-sexual, OR male and
female both, or,as may be more correct
ly said, staminate and pistillate. A stalk
with tassel only and no ear is barren
and fruitIess. Such stalks by impreg-
mating the perfect plants propagate their
own kind, and SO tend to reduce the
yield of the crop. This is to be pre-
vented by growing or breeding seed from
perfect plants only and by removing
every stalk which has no ear from the
neighborhood of the seed plants. By
persistence in this mode of breeding
corn has been improved from yield OF
forty bushels up to eighty or even $50
bushels per acre. A seed plot should be
cultivated on every farm for this pur-
pose.-New York Times.

where children died from the effects of
taking cough syrup containing morphia,
remarks that opiatcs, poisons and narcot-

that different Boards of Health, after
making careful analyses have certified
that the only purely vegetable preparation
of this kind. aud one that is in every
way harmless. prompt and effective, is

Baltimore, and the Commissioner of
