Reports from winter wheat regions
continue ~unfavorable, with less acreage
and winter killing the yield in some
states will be very light. In Missouri,
according to the estimate of the Secre-
tary of the board OF Agriculture, the
yield will not be over six bushels to the
acre, or an aggregate of only Is, 1885,
$50 bushels. Other States are not
much better off. The bearing of these
facts on the prices this year will be
readily appreciated.

UNIVERSITY.
Scope of the Great Institution in Washing
$nn

ton.
Washington Special: The scope or the
Catholic university in Washington ID surprls-
ing as il becomes known. The institution will
be called the American university. Its pro-
fossors will be sought ~ Europe, and none but
men of world wide reputation will be offered
chairs. Bishop Ireland has had principal
charge thus far of the preliminary work of
selecting . site and drawing up the charter,
which will be asked Of congress next winter,
says that in the choice Of the faculty the mat
ter Of religion will have no part There Will be
a theological school, over which it is rumored
Bishop Spaulding OF Chicago will preside.
There viii also he schools for law, medicine,
science, history, philosophy and all the rare
andf far advanced branches Of INSTRUCTION known
rather to institutions on the continent than the
few that We call universities in America. The
men who will occupy chairs In these schools
will be selected without regardto religion. The
site chosen is the old Middleton estate east OF the
soldiers home and a partof that beautiful roll
ing plateau which is Westinghouse largest and
most beautiful park. 1t contains tifty-seven
acres. Near it is a pretty little station on the
Metropolitan branch of the Baltimore x Po-
tomac railroad. The general slope faces the
Bladensburg turnpike, which, by a pleasant
and EdgewoOd, the old Chase estate, takes
one into town. The building will be be-
gun early next year. The first structure
will not be the largest, but will cost $780,,
600. Each student will be furnished a suite Of
rooms fully furnished, and there will be a
club commons Oh the grounds where the
best board may be had No student will be
admitted to the medical or law school
except upon d diploma from another school Of
accredited standing. The work intended in
science, especially IN chemistry, engineering
and abstract mathematics, will be abreast
with that lone in the leading German uni
versities. The endowment now i'll sight is
nearly $1,O 600. The founders win not
be content with a support insufficient to pro
duce an income of from 100000 to $500
0OO a year, which is the aggregate outgo for
any one of the leading universities of England
and Germany. The salaries Of the professors
will average from $1,000 to $4,000, and there
will go with them the board and lodgings for
such as may desire to take up residence in the
university buildings. Early in the coming fall
a committee will be sent TO Europe charged
with the duty of inviting scholars to chairs III
the faculty, and it is intended that the univer-
sity shall be set in operation as early in the
coming year as possible. Temporary buildings
and provisional apparatus will be secured for
the purpose.

In the absence of an accredited Arbor
Day under the law of the Stote of New
York, . proposition is now being urged,
with asgood degree Of energy, for en-
grating tree-planting upon Decoration
Day throughout New York, as a part Of
the regular observance. Ex-C Congress

and many pledges of cooperation have
already been secured. In cemeteries
where there is q lack Of trees, such an
addition to the annual programme
would soon produce the most benefceni
results, which could be extended so as
to include other neglected spots in the
MANY towns and villages, which are
sadly in need of such attention.

The nomination Of the State Of Nevada

The population of the State of Nevada
mas dwindled down to $4,000, in conse-
quence of the collapse of the mining
interest, and there are scarcely enough
inhabitants left to maintain a State
Government. 1t has been a regular
rotten borough for many years, and
yss there seems to bono way of relegat-
ing it to q Territorial condition, from
which it never ehould have emerged.
A State, with less population than a
fifth class city, enjoying the rights of
sending two Senators and a represen-
tative to Congress, is an an anomaly.

The colony Of Victoria, Of which Mel
bourne is the capital and port, is one Of
the most iourishing in Australia. Its
total foreign trade in 1883 amounted to
$170, 000, 900, and is rapidly increasing.
The United States trade, too, with the
Australian colonies, and particularly
with this one, has grown very rapidly
during the past four years. 1t amounted
in 1880 to 81. 669, 90: last year It had
reached $13. 76O, 791. In other words,
it had nearly doubled. The increase
consisted principally in direct exports
from the United States.

the Massachusetts, Legislature has
killed the Woman's Suffrage bill by a
vote of 100 against it to 81 in its favor.
The S~uffragists are boasting that this
is better than last year, when the vote
on this bill stood so yeas to IA nays.
But considering that the bill has been
before the Legislature every year since
1865, and that the vote in it's favor is
smaller this year than it vas on any
previous occasion except last year, the
prospects OF the ladies who want to
vote in Massachusetts, are not datter-
ing.

Diamond Cutting

The form into which diamond is
cut has great influence on its beauty
and fire. The most common are what
are called the brilliant" and the
"rose,' or rosette." The latter, so
named from its similarity to an unopen-
ed rosebud, was one of the earliest
forms in use, and is applied generally
to the cheaper kinds of stones.
1t is sort of pyramid, with fiat
base, and inclined facets, terminating
upward in a pointed apex. The fiat
base is imbedded in the setting; and
therefore in the rose diamond the whole
OF the stone appears projecting above.
The brilliant is the most valuable
FORM 1t may be considered as form
ed of two pyramids, connected togeth-
er at their Eases, with the apex of
each truncated or cut off, and the sides
worked into facets, as in the case of
the rose. The stone is held in setting
at the broadest part, or junction of the
pyramid; one pyramid projects upward
IN sight, the other is hidden below, so
SHe'e S''y hoii bhN otOiIS, VI sOilch ildt
less, appears; but the hidden part is
more powerfully effective in adding to
the brilliancy.
The diamond cutter has to perform
a most difficult undertaking. namely /:
to give about sixty symmetrical and
regular faces TO stones sometimes only
an eighth of an inch in diameter, with
out any mechanical aids whatever to
his judgment aud yet producing,
without a particle Of unnecessary
waste, the very largest stone geomet-
rically possible out of the rough body.
This, OF course, can only be the result
of great skill and long experience.
Having made one facet be judges by
his eye the exact angle at which the
stone must be placed to cut the new
one, ond the exact depth to which the
grinding for the latter must be carried;
and so accurately is this done that it is
very seldom good workman ever has
to revert to facet for correction, after
he has once passed it over.

Grass or Cultivated erouna for Pears.

According to the Germantown Zele-
graph nothing seems more surprising
than the rapid movement which seems
to have been made the last fifteen TO
twenty years in favor of growing pear
trees in grass. We well remember,
when the subject was first mooted,
what a storm the suggestion made. 1t
was looked on as the height of absurd.
ity, and those who recommended it
were thought to be lunatics of the
most confirmed description. We net-
ever took any sides in this question un-
til our own experience proved its val
ue. and when we have successful in
stances of pear culture in grass, as we
often have. We do not deny that
there are many good cultivators vino
have excellent success in what is called
clean culture of pear orchards. Their
error has been in regarding 1t as the
only successful plan. AS we have said,
it is rather remarkable how great is
the change the other way; and we
should not be surprised one of these
days to find the public running to the
opposite extreme and insisting that in
grass only can pears be grown. We
are confident that the crops are more
regular, the fruit more perfect, and the
trees are better protected against
blight. We do not, in fact, ever re-
member having pear tree to die of
blight-not that we believe grass is a
perfect protection, only that such is the
fact. The ground is uniformly cooler
in grass than in cultivated land, and
generally is more moist, and then, too,
the roots are never disturbed We
have lost several standard and num-
Der of dwarf trees by blight in fact,
latterly not a year passes that there is
not a diminution of our trees in this
way while in grass nothing but old
age seems to cause them to succumb
When we say that we have three trees
on our premises said to be full $50
years old, in good bearing condition,
one of them apparently as good as ever
it was, we think there is good ground
for our opinion.

A Novel Cure for Hlocough.

A young Eastonian, while sitting in
"A restaurant, was seized with violent
attack of hiccoughs, which resisted all
the remedies his friends could think of,
when the proprietor went out into the
bar-room and tapped glass of beer
and got large carving knife and came
in with the knife concealed behind him.
He held the beer up to the mans mouth
and suddenly drew out the knife aud
jammed it down in front of his face
into the beer and ordered him to drink
The uuusual proceeding on the part of
the landlord so frightened the fellow
that he could not at first drink, but he
finally drained the glass, leaving moth
ing in it but the carving knife, and it
had the effect of entirely curing him of
his hiccouchs.-Easton, PENN E.r-
