Something About walnuts.

The walnut is indigenous to Upper
Asia and in the mountainous regions of
Persia is found growing wild. 1t was
known to the Romans as Juglans Regia
or royal tree of Jupiter. 1t was intro
duced into Italy at the beginning of the
Christian era, and gradually spread over
western Europe. II was introduced into
England many centuries ago from France,
which country was then called Gaul, and
some authorities say the word walnut
is corruption Of "Gaul-nut." webster
gives the derivation, however, from an
Anglo-Saxon word, ''wealh-hhut," from
''wealh" foreigner, a stranger, and
"hnut," a nut. In Europe it is called
simply walnut" and the name English
walnut used in this country was bestowed
by the colonists of Virginia to distinguish
it from the native American black wal
nut. The tree seems to flourish every
where. 1t thrives in rich and poor land,
on mountain and in valley, in rock and
barren soil where hardly anything else
can be grown. But in deep soil with a
moist bottom the English walnut grows
luxuriantly and yields large crops at a
comparatively young age. - American

ANOTHER GREAT INDUSTRY.

Hon. John W. Bookwalter Said to Have
Negotiated for Valuable Patents Cover
ing the United States.
1t Is understood that Mr.. Fuller Trump
was called to Europe by telegram from
Hon. John W. Bookwalter for the purpose
OF examining, with other experts, new
process of manufacturing steel, or an i'm
provement on the Bessemer steel method
of manufacturing. The process is also un-
derstood to include the manufacture Of
malleable iron, and it Is claimed for the
process that both the steel and iron can be
produced at less than one-half the present
cost of production.
No patents have yet been issued concern
ing this country. andit is understood that
Mr. BoOkwalter is negotiating for, or has
already purchased the American right. The
investigation in which Mr.. Trump is en-
gagged is for the purpose Of determining the
actual cost OF production. and hence the
real value of the methods or patents.
II the negotiations are successful, and it
is thought they will be, If not already
closed, this will add another great industry
to this city. The alleged consideration of
the American patents is said to be $780,
600. Mr.. BoOkwalter and the city are
both to be congratulated upon the accom-
pllshment of this should it be perfected,
and there seems to be no doubt of it.

1t is many years since the traveller who
was advised to go and see India remarked
that he did not care to do so, as the gov
ernment had abolished hook swinging and
widow burning. But some of the inhabi-
tants Of that vast peninsula are still given
to a strange custom, of which little or
nothing is known TO Europeans. 1t seems
that in the nizam's dominions there is a
caste in which this practice prevails.
When any of its members die a tag is at
tached to bamboo and the bamboo is
given to a man to hold over the corpse of
the deceased. Then, having retired TO a
convenient distance, the men of the caste
open fire on the flag, probably by way of
showing their distress and of helping the
soul of the deceased on its journey TO some
other world But not everybody is a
William Tell, and sometimes it happens
that the man holding the flag is shot.
This actually occurred on a recent occa-
sion, and notice was taker of it by the
nizam's government. In The Tarida, or
government gazette, it is made known TO
all concerned that no flag held over a
corpse is to be fired at in the future.-St
James Budget

T. J. Simpsons son, Ferdinand, who has
been on trip west lately, returned on

He swung round the circle Of st. Louis,
New Orleans, Kansas City, Chicago and
then home, better satisfied with Ohio than
ever before.
ID. ID. Davisson, of the city, who has
bought a number of acres in the thinner

A Gold watch. .Piowsd up by a Farmer,
After Long Burial.
A remarkable find was discovered by q
farmer named C. NJ Hammond. who lives
near Midway, in this county, q short time
ago.
While blowing, the plow turned up a
much tarnished gold watch. This Mr..
Hammond sent to Dayton, after making
exten>i-a and unsuccessful Inquiries as to
Its ownersip, and placed 1t in the hands of
first-clsss firm of wstchmakers to have it
repaired.
Now comes the most remarkable part of
the story. 1t was found that the watch
was of frst-class make, the case Is carat
fine and the movement an excellent one. II
must have lain in the field for at least
fifteen years. In examining the works the
matchmaker found that while the heavier
pinions were rusted almost away, the light
est parts, such as the balance wheel and
hair spring. were intact, and but slightly
rusted. The watch was entirely renewed
and is now keeping good time with the bal
ance wheel which passed so many years un-
dergreund.

THE CHIEF JUSTlCEShlP.

Cleveland Expected to Promote Justice
Field and Appoint Minister Phelps and
Ex-Msyor Cooper, Of New York, In
Succession.
WASHINGTON, April ga special from
New York to the Philadelphia Ledger says:
ut is reported here on what is said to be
high authority that President Cleyeland's
choice for chief justice will be Associate
Justice Stephen j. Field, OF California, the
ranking democratic justice on the supreme
bench, and who is brother of David Dud-
ley Field and Cyrus W. Field.
Minister Phelps will then be nominated
as associated chief justice in Fields place,
and ex-Mayor Cooper, of this city. as Min
lister to England in Phelps's place, MIR.
Cooper, who is brother-in-lsw and part
ner OF Mayor Hewitt, was a candidate for
this place when President Cleveland as
sumed Office, and the failure to appoint him
caused much disappointment in democratic
circles here, as Mr.. Cooper had contributed
heavily to the campaign fund in 1854. His
appointment now would, 1t is thought, in
dicate that politics are becoming a bigger
factor in the policy of the administration
now than at the beginning Of the presi-
dents term"

BEGGARS OF LONG AGO.
Some Entries Found in Parish Bool
800 Years Old.

SoHuo Dookb
800 Years Old
In many parish books, about 300 years
ago, we find such entries as these: "Payd
for whippin tow pore folk, lid" 'Payd
and given to pore man and his wifi that
was Wiped, iiijd." This was double the
usual tariff, which is represented by
"Gave the tow when they went, i'd" In
Saxon times the beggar, unless he found
refuge in one of the then thinly scattered
monaster;es, was in evil case. He be-
longed tn the dangerous tribe Of master
less men, people for whom no one was
answerable, and those who sheltered him
were fain to do it by stealth, for if man
stayed with you more than a couple of
days you were accountable, not only for
anything he might then DO, but also for
bis antecedents.
Mr. Ribtou Turner thinks race had a
good deal to do with beggary. When you
take away mans means Of life he must
either starve or rob or beg. The oldest
natives of Great Britain were short, dark
people-Basques, say some, Esquimaux
say others; the tall, light haired Gael beat
them out from almost everywhere, except
part of South Wales. Then the Cymri,
another Celtic people, came across from
the Cimbric Chersonese Denmark, landed
in Aberdeen, spread over Scotland as
Picts, and coming southwark We're met by
the tide of Saxon, or, as the new lights
prefer to call it, English" invasion, and
turned aside into Wales. What the round
skulled Gael had done TO the short skulled
people who had preceded him the Saxon
did to the Gael. lie took his titled land
from him; in those days it was not much,
nine tenths of the island being forest and
marsh, and he gave him no chance of set
ting near him and bringing in some Of
the wild country.
That was not done till later, when the
monasteries true agricultural colonies)
set the example of making the desert
smile. The conquered had nothing for it
but to submit to slavery or TO ''move on :"
If he moved on with a lot of friends he
might settle down somewhere in Wales, or
on the Cornish mOOrs, or in the wild dis
trict called Cumbria tCymri's Land. from
Chester to the Solway. But there would
generally be somebody to turn out, so, if
he was alone or with few, begging or
robbing (the two were Interchangeable

and fail. Why? The bank does strictly
cash business. The merchant lets Tom,
Dick and Harry take his goods out and put
it on the books or on ticket in the drawer.
You would not think of asking a bank to
let you take out ten or fifteen dollars and
in day or two return what you did not use.
The famous One-price cash Arcade boot and
shoe house have adopted the bank system.
The consequence is that every purchaser
saves from ten to fifteen per cent. No bad
accounts to make up off of those who pay
cash. No goods taken out unless settled
for, but any purchases that prove to be un-
satisfactory and returned in good condition
money will be refunded without complaint
or hesitation.
