Root Crops.

The root crop is far better entitled
to be called ''the pivotal crop" OF the
farm than grass is. It is indeed the
pivot around which the whole of the
farm work will revolve. Five acres of
roots should yield from four thousand
to five thousand bushels or one hundred
and twenty to one hundred and fifty
tons. One ton of roots will feed one
COW or one steer for about forty to
fifty days, and the five acres will there
fore provide for the feeding of thirty
head of stock during six months. With
this supply of roots snd plenty of straw
and some purchased bran or oil cake
meal, then, thirty head of stock can be
fed or fattened, and by good manage
ment two hundred tons of excellent
manure can be made for the improve
ment of the land. If this crop, then,
does not deserve to occupy the central
position in the farmers mind, what
other crop can? 1t is very important
just now to consider this subject, be-
cause if roots are to be grown immedi-
ate preparations should be made.-N.

THE ROACH FAILURE.
wATERTOwN, Wis. July %. 1855.

BY the failure of John Roach, which
occurred Saturday, a great disaster has
befallen the ship building and business
interests of the country. Roach's
embarrassment is generally regarded as
the result of the action of Secretary
Whitney in refusing to accept the dis
patch-boat Dolphin, constructed by
direction Of the United States Govern
ment. The uncertainty that the Govern
ment would stand by its contracts sent
Roach to the wall and caused his ruin.
4 decision from Acknowledgement Gar
land sanctions the idea that the Govern
ment may with impunity violate its
contracts, thus setting before the people
fine example. The sum and substance
of the Roach affair is that the Free
Traders bounded Mr., Roach and were
determined to break him down in his
efforts to build up and protect the
American shipping interest.

SPEAKING of the nomination of a
Prohibition ticket in Ohio and the pre-
parations to do so in New York, The
Christian Union says:
With the fullest respect for the con-
scientious conviction of those who are
engaged in this movement, it is our con-
scientious conviction that they are imped
ing, not promoting leg islative temperance
reform. Criminal legislation cannot be
advantageously established and maintain
ed by political party; no law defining a
crime can be permanently successful
unless it is sustained by the substantially
unanimous public sentiment of the COM
munity irrespective Of party, The his
tory of temperance legislation confirms
this view, for prohibition thus far has
been a success only in the state of Maine,
where it has the sanction of nearly all
citizens of both parties. IF prohibition
is ever wise the way must first be prepar-
ed for it by moral agitation OF non
partisan character.

CREDULITY.
A Notable Consultation With Somnambu-
lists in France.

4 Notable Consultation With Somnambu-
lists in France.
Credulity, belief in somnambulists,
and so on are to be met with not among
| the uneducated classes alone, as is
proved by a case connected with tn,
authenticity of an alleged historical
document, which latterly engaged the
attention of the Paris Tribunal of Cor
| rectional Police. The complainant,
who described herself as a descendant
of Governor of India under Louis
XIV, had in her possession document
showing that in 1897 her ancestor had
deposited treasure of forty million
francs in his castle of Vilcoq. She took
a certain NJ. Robert into her confidence,
and, neither of them having means of
| their own to carry on researches, two
persons were persuaded to advance
money on condition of receiving a por-
ton of the treasure when recovered.
| M. Robert set to work, found the pre-
else spot where the Chateau de Vilcoq
had formerly stood, and obtained the
consent of the Marquise de Civrie, to
whom the estate now belongs, to dig
the ground, it being understood that
she was also to receive a portion of the
property supposed to be hidden there.
Digging went on for long time. but
nothing was found. Three somnam-
bulists were then consulted, each of
whom fixed on different spot, and in
each spot excavations on a very ex-
tensive scale were made. Briefly, the
search was carried on with such en-
ergy that the property of the Marquise
was completely devastated, and that
lady, quite disguised, had to call the
police to turn the explorers out of her
estate. Debts, however, had been in
Cured by NJ. Robert, who, beginning
to doubt whether the alleged descend
ant of the Governor of India under
Louis Nv was not an impostor, re-
fused to restore her the ''historieal
document" had it examined by ex-
perts, and learned that it mast have
been drawn up within the last fifty
years. The Tribunal awarded him
fifty francs damages, but the Marquise
has obtained nothing for the damage
done to her estate.-Loado2a Stand

arrested The outer swelling on his neck
has nearly disappeared. His voice has

PEELED to admit, with reference to the
Dolphin, that cit would be hard case
for Mr.. Roach, if he were required to
guarantee a certain rate of speed for a
construction in which he had no band,
and could have no hand in design
ing" The design of the Dolphin was
made by the Naval Advisory board, con-
si>ting of seven persons, FIVE of them
naval officers and two civilians. The
Post adds: "The lesson taught by the
adventure is that the building of vessels
for the navy should either be undertaken
by the government at its own yards, or
that the contractors should be allowed to
make their own designs to meet the re
quirements of strength, speed, armor and
capacity imposed by law The great
naval powers of the world build their
own ships"

"No. We do not want independence.
We are poor. We already have deeid-

patronage. All this we would lose by
independence. We would also be at the
mercy OF every European power that saw
fit to gobble US up. What we want is an

I The English physicians were "cool al
hrsr. hut more appreciatve aiterward,'
says DR.. Knapp. and they were walked
up to the remarkable advantage OF new
remedy fully six weeks later than their
American brethren, whereas
they ought to have been TWO weeks before
them" The general advantages OF the
use of the drug We're found 10 he that It's
action was transient and IL q away with
reflex eXcltability in the patient. It's use
ful fields were found TO be In ophthal-
mology, GEOLOGY, Thinology, layrngology

A well-Snown ply stefan OF New YORK,
who probably uses as much cocaine As
any other practitioner here-S5O or 500
worth m0nth-consider IL one of the
most, II not the most, valuable drug as u
local therapeutic agent. He has expert
mented largely in the upper air-passages.
In the nasal passages the drug is applied
on q small pledget OF cotton saturated
with the solution. A bent probe is en-
ployed in applying the pledget to the
pharynx. The highest value OF the drug
seems to be in its use in the larynx, which
is apt TO close spasmodicaly as soon as
touched.
The secret Of the value of cocaine in its
application 10 the mucous surfaces IS that
il penetrates the exterior coat OF the mem
brane and produces rigid contraction OF
the muscular fbres, causing thereby
striking dimnuton Of the callbre OF the
blOOd-vesscls themselves.
One important disease which cocaine
has been found to reach, in consequence
of the property just stated, Is hay FEVER.
The diseased condition OF the mucous
membrane of the nose in a pronounced
case OF hay fever is marked with swell
ing Of the veins o! the bloOd-vessels Rener-
ally. This is due TO "a lack Of action OF the
nerves Of the coats Of the mucous mem
hrane. Cocaine causes a contraction
Of the muscular coat, thereby eXpell-
ing blood while the extreme dilata-
ton does not return. In several mild
cases Of this kind, complete relief has
been obtained bv the use Of the drug.
Cases of bronchitis have been cured, the
explanation lying in the action Of the
drug controlling the blood supply, di-
minlshing the calibre Of the bl0Od-vessels
and thereby lessening the mucous score
ton and -prOlileration." A case of
spasmOdic asthma has been successfully
treated.
The physician referred to above says
that he considers that there Is hardly
local agent so valuable or so sure in it's
action as cocaine. He has been unable to
find that the action of the drug is more
than local, ard he has observed no reac-
ton following it's local use. There is no
danger Of "cOcaine habit" being formed,
in his opinion.

ARMOUR OF THE OUTS AND ms.
why e Famous Man of Millions Gave
$4,000 for a single Seat.
From a. CAieaao TrAuA

From the ChicdgO Irtbuae.
The statement which has been current
for several days to the effect that Phil
Armour had made application for mem
bership in the New YORK Stock Exchange
has naturally caused considerable inter-
est. With view to settling the momen-
tous question reporter yesterday stepped
into the packers Office on Lasalle street
and found Mr.. Armour, who has returned
10 the city, busy with an army Of clerks.
After some sRirmishing, Mr.. Armour was
made to see that ChicagOans really want
ed to know, at any rate, as much as he
was willing 10 tell.
"Of course" said he. II didn't pay
$4,000 for a seat in the New York Stock
Exchange without expecting to get some
return tor the money. The truth is that
it was simply matter OF economy With
me. The inside is surrounded with a
fence so high and so close that an out

kind Of an autocracy; and the insiders
make the outsiders pay well for the priv
llege OF even guessing at what is going on
inside the fence. But once get inside and
you can kick up your heels with the rest
OF the colts and no questions are asked.
Why, might save enough commissions
on ore transaction to pay for my seat; so
YOU can easily see where the economy
comes in. You may say this. however,
