GEN. HARRISON ACCEPTS.

General Benjamin Harrison
the Republican candidate for
President gave his letter OF
acceptance to the Press on
Tuesday. With the exception
of his tariff viewshe has virtu-
ally indorsed what President
Cleveland said in his letter.
Unlike Blaine he is opposed
to trusts and says so most en-
phatically. He objects (like
Clcveland) to the importation
Of foreign laborers under con
tract but he says it can't be
done without a protective tar
if. The Philadelphia Times
sums it up thus :-"Boiled

sition is simply thus: a am

PROTECT TaaE SOIL.

In order to retain the gases absorbed
by the soil from the atmosphere or
washed from it by rains, it is impor,an,
that the naked soil be not exposed TO the
direct rays Of the summer sun. 1t is bel.
Ter that field lying tallow should be
covered with crop of weeds than it
should lie entirely naked. Nature p,,-
serves the fertility of our forests by an
underground of shrubbery and an annual
mulch Of leaves completely covering the
surface. Even pile Of stone, or OF
boards covering the ground for a few
years will give to the spot wonderful
degree Of fertility. This is chiefly owing
to the preservation of the absorbed am
monia, but it may be that the darkness
thus secured promotes nitrification in the
soi.-L,diand Farmer

Tie Costliest Wine in the World.

It costs only S272 drop. The wine refer to is kept in the ancient cellar under the Hotel de Vile in the city of Bremen, and was deposited there over 250 years ago. There were twelve large cases, each having name of one of the Apostles, and, strange to say, that having the name of Judas is the most highly esteemed. One case of the wine containing five oxhoft of 204 bottles cost 800 rix dollars in 1894.
 Including the expenses of keeping ul the cellar, and of the contributions and interest, an oxhoft costs at the present time 555, ,657, $40 rix dollars, and conse quently bottle is worth 2,723, ,S12 ri1 dollars; glass or the eighth part of { bottle is worth 340,476 rix dollars ol $272, 3S0, or $272 per drop.

Rndangering a Clerks Position.

 The employer or fioor-walker is sup posed to know if the lady, who has been for the last half hour looking over box of faces, intends buying or not. He does not know that the laces are only being looked at, to see the newest patterns, oI to consume time while waiting for 8 friend. The same thing has occurred during the day, and, perhaps, on several days previous-ladies leaving the counter without buying.

Health of the Cities of China.

Fhe popular notion that the inhabitants of Chinese cities are given to unwhole- some habits does not seem to be well founded. Dr. Dodgeon, in recent work on the diet, dress, and dwellings of the Chinese, says that the people have admir- ingly adapted themselves to their sur roundings, and enjoy maximum of com. fort. "They have a good many lessons yet to teach us in respect of living and practical health." After an experience of over twenty years with them, he says that they are subject to fewer diseases, their diseases are more amenable to treat ment, and they possess a greater freedom from acute and infammatory affections of all kinds, if, indeed, these can be said to exist at all" than obtains among west. ern nations.-New York Sun.

DOGS THAT WEIGH A POUND.

The Chihuahua Chiquita Dog-A Beautiful
 Creature--A Scared Traveller.
 Every Mexican owns at least one Chi huahua chiquita dog. They are beautiful little creatures and of two varieties-one with long, silky hair, the other with short smooth coat that is soft as velvet to the touch. I have seen full grown specimens that weighed a tritle over a poInd and young puppies about the size of field mice. They have large, ex- preSslve eyes and the best of dispositions. A fashionable Philadelphia lady, with one of these diminutive creatures as her companion on a promenade down Chest nut street, would attract as much atten- tion as did Barnum's Jumbo.
 My first introduction to the Chihuahua chiouita was in Presidio del Norte, Texas A little town on the bank of the RIO Grande. I reached there late m the afternoon. with letter of lntroduction to the principal merchant, an American named Russell. He received me very cordially and gave me the keys to ms corral and feed box.
 Put up your horse," he said, but look ont for the dog. I'd send one of the Mexicans around, but they're all busy now. -
 was bitten by dog once and have a wholesome respect for the smallest and most inoffensive of the race. As led my horse around to the corral gate examined my six shooter to see if 1t was properly loaded and when 1 entered the enclosure my trepidation was not diminished when 1 saw staring me in the face an enormous sign with the legend, "Bevsare of the dogl" painted on it in great black characters.
 A cold precipitation began to ooze from every pore of my body and if the som brero that wore hadn't been so heavy believe that my rising hair would have lifted it off my head. 1 walked on the lee side of my horse, my cooked si1 shooter in my hand, with every sense alert to warn me of the approach of thu | ferocious monster, who was no doub sleeping in one corner of the corral. Witt trembling fingers I unsaddled my hors' and my knees knocked together as measured out his feed. So far I ha( escaped the notice of the dog, and wa backing toward the corral gate, inwardl.. congratulating myself on my fortunat escape, when I heard yelping bark about as loud as the chirp of an Englisl sparrow, and one of these Chlhuahu chiquitas came bounding across the yard making leaps that measured at least si' inches in length. He looked so ridiculou that burst out laughing, whereat h stopped barking and began to wag hi hhputian tail and frisk about like rat l learned afterward that he was the onl. canine about the place, and his owne has the reputation all along the frontie of being confirmed practical joker Cor.

From rosy lips in chidhood's sunny days,
Not that sweet strain which youth delights

cadence
Floats down long years; Liie's morning
song seems best;
Although maturity, with sghs, confesses
Her cbildren's songs bring pity and unrest
Who soothes tho ear Of grief with hint Of

Who comforts age with hope Of things to
Why have youths song and life's maturer

None know--und yet, from out our care and

We hear the wondrons music silence holds
I'm piteous neod, one human lamentation
Most beautcous strain Of sympathy enfolds
Joys happy lay and griefs heart broken

No concord know, till somo poor, stricken
heart,
With faith sublime, turn from its own re-

May solace and uplift the wide world

The TArtarS and Their Horses.

The Tartars have way of living with
their animals which is truly astonishing
they talk to them and when they
wish to encourage them, they whistle
to them as if they were birds. If they
do not travel well, they address to them
gentle rcproachcs; and when special
effort is needed on their part, they say
"Come, my doves you know you must
60 up there; courage, my pets; come,
go on!' And when the difficulty is ac-
complishcd, they get down from their
box and praise and carcss them, allow
ing them to rest and breathe-patting
them between their eyes, rubbing their
noses, stroking the hair on their fore
heads between their ears-indecd caress-
ing them in every way, and treating
them like much-loved pets.

wherever population is dense, and sleep

consumption prevails. DR.. Bailey re.
ported that in Milbank prison there
were ont OF 100 deaths, as from this
disease. According to the illustrious
doctor, room in which a consumptivc
person sleeps is rccking with contagious
germs, If the air he cxhalcs is not
carried off. But how to get rid Of
it in ill-buit houses or very cold
weather, when it is as dangerous to
open windows as to keep them shut2 To
meet this difficulty DR.. Brown Sequard
showed the academy an apparatus of his
invention. A reversed funnel, the
shape Of lamp shade, is placed at the
end of tube, so arranged in its curves
and angles that when it is placed beside
bed the reversed funnel will be above
tho sleeper, and draw up the air he
breathcs. The other end runs into the
chimney OF the room. II there is none,
it is taken through heating apparatus
to an air-holc.
