Drying seed Corn.

There IS strength and vitality about the

My plan Of drying seed corn is this: I

underside Of the upper floor ioisfs an

corn. As the ioists are deep enourh to

ears within foot of the stove pine xbera

ears would get so hot every day as TO be
uncomfortable to handle, and these ears.

usually vigorous plant
Il believe that earliness can he host CO
cured by gathering the corn before fully
ripe, for there seems TO be a kind of in
stlnct in plants, which has been noticed
and referred to by many able writers,
winch leads them 10 adapt themselves to
circumstances, and the plant grown from
early gathered seed seems to mt forth
every effort to mature early.
II, as / firmly believe, we can add
from 10 TO p per cent. 20 the yield Of our
corn by careful attention to selection and
breedi Of the seed, who can afford TO
neglect it, and in what other way can we

To Keep Grapes in onantitr

Dry, cold air is an essential condition
for the preservation Of grapes. What is
termed cold storage is practiced by large
fruit growers. In the Hudson valley
growers construct large storage rooms
with sawdust walls fourteen or fifteen
inches thick, inclosed by matched boards
outside and inside Floors and ceilings
have the same insulation at the sides
In these rooms a uniform temperature is
maintained. with some as low as 3G de-
grees, with others 40degrees. Husman ad-
vises, for long keeping, that varieties with
tough skin only be selected. and that the
fruit be fully ripe when stored Gather
IN dry weather, cut the punches care
fully, being sure not to cut off the bloom.
Place in "a cold room for several hours,
that the heat may be drawn OF. The
stems VIII then be less. brittle and more
easily handled Lay the punches evenly,
with stems downward, fill the boxes and
keep in an even temperature. not higher
than 40 degrees. New York growers
patronize, many of them, for storing grapes
boxes about one foot long. two feet wide
and six on seven inches deep, placed one
on top of the other,-New York World.

Death of Ex-President Arthur.


Ex-President Chester A. Arthur died at
his home in New York city, Thursday
morning, Nov. 18, at a. m. His death
caused great surprise. Notwithstanding
the alarming rumors as to his health
during the summer months, the supposed
improvement in his condition, noted dur
ing his stay in New London, Connecticut,
and the apparent confidence expressed by
his friends who remained close to him.
created the impression that his health had
been radically improved, giving him the
promise of renewed lease of life. His
discas was one affecting the kidneys, and
those nearest him had no faith in his Der.
manent recovery, but his sudden demise
was not spoken of. He began to sink
rapidly after midnight and by 8 o'clock
it was known that death was approaching.
He passed away without any apparent
pain. AS soon as the news of Arthur's
death was made public, many flags on
public and private buildings were placed
at half-mast, Arthur had lived at 1873
Lexington avenue, for twenty years or
more. A stroke of cerebral apoplexy,
sudden but not wholly unexpected by the
attending physicians, terminated his life.

Printing Postage Stamps.

The design for postage stamps is en-
graved on steel in sets of two hundred
each. These are printed entirely on
large hand presses. After the sheets
have been printed and sufficiently dried
they are sent into another room for
cumming. (The gum is made of pow
der of dried potatoes and other vegeta-
bles mixed with water) Here they are
again dried and pressed in hydraulic
presses of great power. The sheets are
next cut in two pieces, by girl with
large pair of shears, this way being pre-
ferred to machinery because less sheets
are thus spoiled. If single stamp is
injured, the whole sheet is rejected. Not
less than half million stamps are each
week destroyed on this account. It is
said that not single sheet of stamps
has been lost by the dishonesty of en-
ployes during the last twenty years.

Claudman is now preparing boat for the
voyage and will start in about ten days
for Panama. He will cross the Isthmus,
proceed up the whole coast of North
America. and by Behring Straight down
the Asiatic continent round to Suez and
through the Mediterranean to Gibraltar.
He will return home by way of Shetland
Island, and Greenland, occupying at
least two years and possibly three.
He goes in the interest of monthly mag
azine.
An attempt was made last Monday
evening to poison the family of Armour.
A sample package of buckwheat flour was
sent to Armour's cook, who did not use it
as there was suspicion as to its contents.
1t was analyzed by a chemist and found
to contain strychnine sufficient to kill at
least twelve families. The package was
delivered at the house by boy, who said
he was sent by two men. In converse
ton overheard between two men not far
from Armour's residence, it was shown
that there was conspiracy to poison Ar
mour and other packers who have been
prominent in resisting the demands of the
strikers at the Chicago stock yards.

A Race of DWarfs.

The inhabitants of the Andaman is
lands are the smallest race of people in
the world. The average height of full
grown Andamans is four feet five
inches, and few weigh over seventy-six
pounds. They are marvelously swift
OF foot, and as they smear themselves
over with mixture of oil and red ochre
present very strange appearance. Few
travellers care to encounter any of these
bellicose little people, for their skill in
throwing the spear and in using the
bow is only equaled by their readiness
to attack strangers.

A Brutal Prize Fight.

Bill Davis, weight 115 pounds, and
Jack Kinny, weight 1870 pounds, fought
with two-ounce gloves to the finish, Mar
quis of Queensbury rules, near Rockaway,
New York. Thirty-two rounds were
fought, OF which the first seven were spent
in careful sparring. From this up to the
goth round fighting was done by both
men. In the goth round Davis got in
terrific right handler, completely closing
Kinny's left eye. In the 3Oth round both
came up very groggy, but the desperate
fighting was soon all over the ring. At
the end of the round both men could
hardly walk to their corners In the 31st
round they almost tottered to the center,
and at the call of 'time" they hammered
each other, abandoning all attempts at
science. At the end OF the round both
fell down from sheer weakness, and al
though both toed the line for the next
round, the referee decided the fight a
draw.

The stroke came in his sleep between
Tuesday night and Wednesday morning
and he did not rally thereafter. His
death was painless, the slow going out of
burned down candle, and for hours
before it came he Was unconscious to his
surroundings.
The funeral will take place Monday
at a. m., from the church of the Heav-
enly Rest, Rev. DR.. Parker Morgan
officiating. Mr.. Arthur was not men,
Der of any church but his wife formerly
attended that one.
Mr.. Arthur was 56 years old. He had
been widower seven years. His wife
died in 1879, she being Ellen Herndon
before he married her, the daughter of a
naval officer-a Virginian-who was lost
at sea. Of their two children, the son,
Chester Allen, is % years old. He grad
uated from Princeton a year ago, and is
now a student in the Columbia law school,

dent on the Garfield ticket. The daugh-
ter, Nellie, of whom Arthur was very fond,

rich Ph~iladelphianS. However that may
be, fortunes made all over the country are
lost here, and the rentless per cent" on
them goes to Phil Daly's already bursting
Golfers. He built a Roman Catholic chaple
with. some of his wealth last year, as If to
pacify the Lord a little while getting the
devils help constantly. Somehow people
of any denomination dOnot take kindly to
his meeting house. He has openly detled
the law many years, and no attempt has
ever been made to raid his house till the
other day. 1t was done then by the aid oil
a callow young theological student who
PLAYED amateur detective. He was so
awiully set up over it that he burst into
the gambling room at the head of some
policemen, and brandiShed a revolver ana
cried in a loud voice: Il take the credlt
ofthis. This is mine"
He was a very meek and lOwly young
Christian, indeed.
DAILY and some of his gentlemen were ar
rested, but the plucky old gambler showed
fight and succeeded in making confusion
enough for the customers to get away I'M
der cover of it. They were well known New
York men who did not want their names
in the papers. But the gambling goes on
alice samee. Phil Days men all wear
dress suits.
One feature of Long Branch is that day
excursionists have no show at all there. No
merry 90 round, with monsters on which to
ride: no monster coasters, elephants, beard
ed women shows, or any of the nickel en-
tertainments dear to the hearts Of children
and rustic rovers are there. Long Branch
is so high toned as to bevery dull for these.
A driveway runs along the bluff which
it not very well kept up, however. The
fashionable part of Long Branch, rs every
other place, is the west end, from the west
End hotel ending with the Elberon cot
tages. 1t is not a very great space, but 1t
thinks il is very great.
