Manufacture Of Peppermint Oil.

A correspondent writing from Wayne
county, New York, to the department
of agriculture at Washington, gives an
account of the production Of pepper
mint oil in that region. There are
about 5000 acres of land annually de-
voted to the production of this useful
and essential oil in Wayne and adioin-
ing counties, which is considered the
finest quality grown in the United
states. The annual production is co.
600 pounds of oil. It is planted very
early in the spring, and the harvest be.
gins in August. After cutting the mint
is allowed to wither for eight or ten
hours, and it liz then raked and placed
in cocks, where it can be left but ashort
time before being taken to the still,
The still consists of woc1en tubs. Ind
he wilted mint is packed in the tubs by
treading with the feet when full a cover
is fitted tightly owe the top Of the
tub, and the mint is then steamed BY
means Of a pipe which connects the
lower part of the tub with a steam
boiler. Peppermint is sometimes care
iessly cultivated, aud various weeds al
lowed to grow among it. which if stilled
with it will give impure oil. The strict
" pure oil produced in Wayne and
adjoining counties is refined at LYONS.
N. T., and sent out i n bottles made for
the purpose, duly branded and labeled.
The actual cost of producing and re-
timing it is from 50 to So per yound.-

The state veterinary surgeon under the pro-
visions of the new law, has made rules for the
prevention Of contagious diseases among do
| mestic animals.
Rule l provides that all cattle from below the
north line of Indian Territory which shall be
brought into the state between April l and
Nov. l shall be subject to quarantine, and also
Al land3on which such cattle may BIO fed in
this state.
Rules 2 and 8 provide for the quarantine of
all such cattle in transit through the state that
may be unloaded from railroad cars for food
and water and reBhipment.
Rule 4 provides sixty days quarantine for
all cattle brought into this state from any coun-
~ in the United States where pleuro-pneu-
n1onia is known to exist.
Rule 5 requires the carcasses of all ANIMALS
! desd from anthrax to DO burned or buried.
Rule = prohibits glandered animals from be-
ing taken over any public highways, public
grounds, or watered at any public place or be-
ing placed where they can come in contact with
other and healthy animals.
Rule z requires all animals suspected of
glanders to be isolated from all other animals
until disposition 10 made thereof by the state
veterinary surgeon.
that has been exposed TO contagious dis
sease.
Rule 9requires the carcasses of oil animals
dead from CHAMBERS to be saturated with kero-
sene and buried.
Rule 10 declares no animal Affected with
CHAMBERS shall be deemed as having any value.
The term quarantine is defined as the COM
plete isolation of all diseased or suspected ami
mails from healthy animals. No provision is
made for pleuro pneumonia, nor for hogs, for
the reason that for the former provision il
made III the statute; for the latter it would re-
quire an army Of veterinary surgeons to inves-
tigate cases of diseased hogs, and the expenses
would be enormous; and further nearly all
cases of diseased hogs can be traced to bad
feeding or keeping.

Personal Paragraphs.

Anthony carnegie, n Pittsburgh
millionaire, is q native of Scotland, and
entertains some very positive opinions.
He says he believes that fla ballot were
taken throughout Great Britain and
Ireland, and every respectable citizen
of 21 years were allowed TIC vote, a ma
iority would be found in favor of elect
ing a Chief Magistrate to take the place
Of royalty after the death of Queen Vic
toria.
The will of the late Mary A. Foster,
which has just been admitted to probate
in New York, is q peculiar one. The
testator, who vas au old maid and the
sister of the editor OF the Sportsman,
made provision in the instrument for
the support of a favorite horse and three
dogs as long as they live. The rest of
her estate is left to her brother, Charles
j. Foster.
The Yanderhilts, Astors, Rhineland
ers and the other wealth toned families
of the country are attendants of the
Episcopal Church. and each Sunday
humbly pray that they "may be con-
tented inthe position of life to which it
hath pleased the Lord to call u.s."
Mr.. Marion Crawford, the novelist,
tells q characteristic story about Car
lyle, which he observes impartially, may
be true. 1t was at a dinner party and
Carlyle sat silent listening to the talk
Of lesser men. A young politician was
talking theory to a beefy old conserva-
tive who despised youth and reason in
a n4equal degree. aThe British people,
sir, said he of the beef, stcan afford to
laugh at theories" ''Sir, said CARLYLE,
speaking for the first time during din
ner, "the French nobility of a hundred
years ago saidthey could afford to laugh
at theories. Then came. a man and
wrote e book Called The. Social Con-
tract The man was Jean jacques
Rousseau, and his book was a theory
and nothing but a theory. The mobiles
could laugh at his theory, but their skins
went to bind the second edition of his
book" After which tremendous sen
tence the old sage seems to have re-
lapsed into silence. The a~llusion. Of
course, was to the famous t~annery at
Meudon.

window ana Hio.raeua.

"Ex-Secretary Window of Minnesota re-
marked to me- says Gath, "'The Nicaragua
treaty is a great departure in the policy Of this
country. I have not yet made up my mind
abou. its merits. The guaranteeing of the
sovereignty of even so small IL country is a
great departure from the advice of the father
of his country, that We avoid entangling ALI
ances with any foreign nation Speaking of
the canal schemes. Mr.. Window said: 4 am
q believer in something entirely different
Capt Eads's ship-railwayp project. His propo-
sitlon q few years ago was that he would con-
struct ton miles of road, with all the appliance
es for taking a $500 ton vessel OUT of the wa
ter, running it at a satisfactory rate of speed,
and replacing it in the water, thereby demon
stratipg with his own means the entire practi-
cability of tho enterprise, provided the govern
ment would thereafter become liable for the
3 per cent interest which he asked, to have
guaranteed on s50,00O, 900 of bonds, on which
money was to be raised to complete the road.
This, it seemed to me, was a safe practical
proposition, which it would have been wise to
accept, as no payments were required Mt all
except on q thorough demonstration of the sue
cess of his plan. 1t seemed to me TINT with
tho completion of the road its income would
certainly have saved the government from any
payment whatever under its guarantee. The
proposition also embraced, under authority of
concession from Mexico, exceedingly great adj
vantages to the m of the United States
over the OF other nations.'".

Earthquake In view York.

The reports of earthquakes in New Hanp-
shire and Maryland were followed by many
similar reports from various parts of the
country, and now these are succeeded by the
announcements of an earthquake shock at Tar
rytown. Maj. Marshal H. Bright, editor Of the
Christian at Work, wholiyes at %Tarrytown. de-
scribes the occurrence as follows. sThe earth
quake occurred IN the morning. I was awake,
and as I have observed an earthquake before,
Immediately recognized the nature of the
shock and seized my. watch to time its duration.
It lasted four seconds. 1t was a distinct, con-
tinuous vibration like a jar produced in a horse
car when stopped by the sudden application Of
tine brakes. The shock was accompanied by a
low rumnling noise, not louder than would be
cnused by a heavy cart. The louise was shaken
and windows ratified. When 1 attended the
First Reformed church in the morning and
spoke of the occurrence to the sexton, he ex-
claimed he now understood what before had
pu., zled him. Not thinking of earthquake, he
had wondered what the shock was which he
had observed wh1e attending to the furnace in
the churches. He saw the building was shak-
on. On conversing with other persons whom
l met at church, I found some had observed
the shock distinctly. One lady was awakened
by II. The occurrence would have attracted
much moro attention if it had not taken place
at the hour Sunday morning when most per-
sons were asleep"
