Turnip Seed.

The Daily Reformer of Watertown, New York, has been gathering data of information regarding the sending out of seeds to the constituents of the various Congressmen. It gives the names of several firms who have been in the habit of selling seeds to the de- partment for distribution. We clip from the Reformer the following:
 About the beginning of August, 1885, a representative of A. B. Cleve- land tG Co, whose name is at present withheld, came to this city to pur- chase seeds from the seedsmen here to fill the orders for his own house. From one ofthe most prominent seed houses of this city he purchased PISA pounds of one kind of turnip seed, and l,l26 pounds of another kind, paying for it cents and 10 cents per pound respectively as appears from a copy of the original invoice. The seed was old imported stock and had been in the warehouse for nearly six years, and the greater part of 1t was esteemed as worthless When the seed had been l DaSBeu anu slOOu III tue MAI6louse ready to be shipped it was nearly noon | Its purchaser was asked where he wanted it sent. "That is something cannot tell you at once, said he. "l will let you know about it after din ner."
 When the members of the firm re turned after dinner they were not { little astonished to find the seed ha( been taken away. Their curiosity wa of course aroused, and they determin ed to find out what was done will seed so old and nearly worthless. A the freight depot it was found in th' freight house suitably tagged anC billed for the agricultural departmen at Washington.

Penmans.,ip at the Postofice.

''How about the difficulty of illegible handwritings?"
 "Well, that is, generally speaking, not as bad as might be expected, especially in a cosmopolitan city like Chicago, which can boast of all sorts of national hand writings. Long practice has skilled our eyesight and gift of distinction so that we but rarely have difficulty in decipher- ing any style of writing. In my twenty years experience think remember only two or three occasions where I was unable to make the writing out. Judged by aationalities the Chinese are by all odds the worst penmen-that is, of our style of writing. You'd die laugh ing if you could see sometimes the ohirography some of these almond eyed gentlemen indulge in. The Italians come next as illegible writers, and then some of the Scandinavians and few of the Germans, who affect German script and got off some very bold figures with the pen. The Americans are, that goes with out saying, the plainest and most distinct writers. But even among them there are goed many who affect such peculiarities of handwriting as puzzle us not little. Especially what's called the 'backhanded ones--it may look pretty enough, but the characters all run into each other and make the effect of blurring the whole. Il takes study to decipher this style of writ ing, and you often have to twist the let ter and turn it sideways and upside dowI to get any sense of it. it.'-Chicago Herald.

Fo,d in the Cyansries.

One of the first things to attract my notice in the Canary Islands was the healthful appearance and fine develop ment of the common people. There is no doubt that they are by birth superior race, but it is also true that they use a food which, being highly nutritious, must contribute to their physical development There is nothing mysterious about this article. which is known as gofio. It is simply the flour made from any of the cereals, by parching or roasting before grinding. One can scarcely pass through any village of the Canaries without wit messing some step in the preparation of this food. The grain is first picked overy then roasted above charcoal fire, and af- terward ground at the windmills which abound everywhere When it is to be eaten, milk, soup or any other fluid is mixed with it, without further cooking. Nothing can be more handy" than such an article of food.
 The Canarian laborer, if he goes forth ] to his work alone, takes with him some | gofo in bag made of the stomach of a kid; if there are several persons the skin | of kid is used. When meal time has arrived, a little water is poured into the bag with the gofo, the mixture is we'll shaken and the meal is prepared without further ado. The Canarian archipelago consists of seven inhabited islands, with a population of 2S0, 900 persons. At least 200, 600 of them live economically on gofo, as their fathers did before them, from time immemorial The food is said to be not only delicious and wholesome for those who are not accustomed to 1t, but to possess also tendency to counteract certain digestive ills to which the civilized stomach is heir, thus restoring man, in g measure, to the physical condition of the happy savage.-Cor.

Trees in tha Streets.


 Some portions of New York are hand some enough to rank it with Paris among the beautiful cities of the world; others are almost wretched and dirty enough to class it with Constantinople. It is a strange tumble of splendor and squalor, beauty and ugliness. As rule, however, the portions inhabited by the rich and well to do classes will compare favorably with the similar portions of almost any city in the world, and some of our noble streets cannot be matched anywhere. The chief defects in these sections are the lack of parks and the still more glaring lack of trees in the streets. London is studded all over with private squares, which are selfshly reserved for the fami- lies living about them; but they do form precious breathing spots, and if the poor children cannot go inside they can at least play on the sidewalk underneath the few tree branches that hang over the railings. These numerous parks go far to redeem the blackness and ugliness of London streets.
 Paris has not so many parks, but trees flourish almost everywhere in it's streets, and make them delight to the eye. Washington, once shabby Maryland vil- lage, now conspicuous Among capitals for it's beauty, owes large part of it's charms to the far sighted policy that planted a hundred thousand trees along it's broad avenues. But New York, which has fewer parks by far than it should have, is almost absolutely devoid of trees. The stranger, driving up Fifth avenue, looks with wonder down each street he passes, seeing only long tunnels of brown stone and not tree, nor so much as sprig of anything green, to break the monotony A general system of tree planting would in few years transform this city with its great array of handsome houses into ( city that for stateliness and beauty would be the talk of the world.-New York Fri

Tho Spirit of a Tiger.

The dread of ghosts is common to all aboriginal races of India, from which it has been very generally adopted by their Aryan conquerors, and even by the lower classes of Mohammedans. All ghosts are believed to be mischievous, and some -ef them bitterly malicious, and the only means employed to oppose their rancor is to build shrines for them, and to make them offerings of a fowl, pig, or, on grand occasions, of a buffalo. Any severe illness, and more especially any epidemic disease, such as smallpox or cholera, is attributed to tho maiignancy of certain of these spirits, who must be propitiated accordingly.
 The man tiger is. perhaps, the most dreaded of all these demon ghosts; for when a tiger has killed man the tiger is considered safe from harm, as the spirit of the man rides upon his head and guides him clear of danger. Accordingly, it is believed that ''the only sure mode of de- stroying tiger who has killed many peo- pie is to begin by making offerings to the spirits of his victims, thereby depriving him of their valuable services" The ghosts most propitiated are of those who have met a violent or untimely death, whether by design or by accident, inclu- ding poison and disease. Even wretches who arc hanged for their crimes are be- lieved to have the same powers of causing evil to the living as those who have been killed by tigers or by lightning or by any other violent caGse.-London Graphic

Twn nf the Greates.

Sir John Millais, in an interesting arti- cle in The Magazine of Art, pronounces against blind adoration of the old masters. He says time and varnish are two of the greatest among the old masters, and that the only way to judge an old picture is to ask: "What was this like when it was new?' He claims for pictorial art steady evolution upward, though conditions and the demands of public taste are entirely changed. Of modern sculpture he says: ''So fine is some of the work our modern sculptors have given us that I verify be- ieve that, were it dug up from under oyster shells in Rome or out of Athenian sands, with stamp of partial dismember- ment about it, all Europe would fall straightway into ecstasy, and give forth their plaintive vail, We can do nothing like that nowr Home Journal.

A Good Move for the Benefit of Arizon
 StOckmcn.

As we go to press this week the in- formation is given out of the proposed establishment at Witherellville on the Prescott and Arizona Central Railroad, of a complete and commodious slaugh- tering and refrigerating plant, the pro- moter of the enterprise being Maj. E. H. Witherell guarantee that such work once inaugurated is sure to be pushed to a successful termination. The proposition is one that can be classed among the Hong felt wants" of the stock community in northern Arizona. By it thousands of dollars will be saved to men now oppressed in a cornered market, not to mention an ever ready market, better prices, and the saving of that in transportation rates which otherwise is thrown to a class that encourages to react against ! the stockman aud his herd. It Is to such influences that lie in the proper and lust-lna D pSa955e4.fe Sa95eea.ifeei -OT the above concerns, lease to new life is given Some may look upon this venture as being of but local benefit in it's extent but will not the success of a northern plant have similar effect in intro ducing like enterprises in southern Arizona? Stock affairs are assuming such an excellent shape towards bet ter priced day through one agency anC another that some are inclined to tho belief of an early boom in beef. The machinery to be used in the above works principally, lies in this city anC was formerly used in the ice-works It is to be hoped that the move vii meet with the approval and supper of our cattlemen, and in return demon strate what energy and intelligence can accomplish to 8 class who are no only throttled outside the Territory b. scandalous and discriminate prices but heretofore cinched to the tune 0 some political move in one way an

The Exclusion Bill.

The President signed the Chinese exclusion bill and transmitted it to Congress Monday morning accompan- jed by a long message.
 The Presidents message, which ac- companies the approval of the bill states that the experiment of blending social habits and race idiosyncrasies of the Chinese laboring class with those of the people of the United States, has been proved by an experiment. of twen- ty years to be in every sense unwise, impolitic and injurious to both nations. The President continues, that with the lapse of time necessary for it's abandon ment has grown in force until those having in charge the government of the respective countries have resolved to modify and sufficiently abrogate all those features of prior conventional arrangements which permitted the coming of Chinese laborers to the U. S. The President next reviewed all treat ies and legislation which has been adopted upon the subject and declared that after the passage of the restriction act 1t soon became evident that the in tent of the law and treaty were being defeated by false pretense and perjury :; and that the courts in the Pacific states have been for some time almost overwhelmed with the examination of Chinese cases. The President calls attention to the deep seated and in- creasing discontent, especially among the people of the Pacific coast on ac- count of the inefficient condition of law, and states that this has caused him to omit no effort to remedy the evils complained of and that he has been aided in this matter by diplomatic officers of the Chinese government and by the U $. minister in China. He also mentioned the treaty which was recently formulated and signed by the plenipotentiary of the U $. and China and afterwards confirmed by the senate with two amendments which were approved by the Chinese minister at Washington. These amendments were at once telegraphed to China whither the original treaty had pre- viously been sent.
