1 have been worrying in good earn
est this season against the striped and
cucumber flea beetles. l find that of
the many substances tried, ashes and a
strong tobacco decoction are the best
specifics. Ashes to be effective must
be used in large quantities, and in
some cases they seemed to injure the
plants. The tobacco decoction was
even more effective than the ashes,
and did no injury to the radishes or
potatoes on which it was used. l used
for the decoction cheap tobacco dust
or waste which 1 secured at the large
factories. l believe this remedy will
give excellent satisfaction; l shall try
1t further another year.
Many and serious complaints come
fruit growers regarding injury done
to peach trees which were sprayed
with London purple. l have expert
mented very fully in this matter. It
seems that London purple is far more
injurious than is Paris green. The
latter used one pound to 100 gallons of
water@a mixture at least twice too
strong-and twice repeated, did almost
no harm; a mixture one-half the
strength did no harm at all. London
purple of the first strength always did
some harm and often serious damage.
A rain just after the application
seems to increase the damage. One
pound to 200 gallons of water in
iures peach, cherry, apple and plum
foliage often seriously especially when
repeated. 1t is much the most injuri-
GUS when used on the peach. The
leaves often fall off. frequently one
application of this weak mixture
would be followed by complete defoli-
alton.
1 find that the colored water turned
carefully off after the London purple
has all settled will still kill the foil
age. Can it be that the aniline is the
poisonous substance3 Or is it the solu-
BILE arsenic2 / am now having analy-
ses made to determine this last point
If an arsenic is to be used on the plum
and peach, we must use Paris green,
and for the peach this must be very
dilute. l should not make it stronger
than one pound to $50 gallons of
water.-Professor A. j. Cook in Rural
New Yorker.

TERRIBLY SCALDED.
N. N. Brown, a Sheep Buyer,
Burned by Steam.
A Collision Between Fast Freights
Near Cheyenne.
Three Cars Burned and $50 Sheep
Killed.

A serious railway accident occurred at
Granite Canyon. eighteen miles West Of
Cheyenne, at 5 o'clock yesterday morn
ing. 1t was a freight train smashup
called a hind end collision and resulted
in serious injury to a drover, the loss OF
$50 sheep, the burning of two cars and a
caboose and consid erable damage to the
locomotive.
The first section of fast freight, No. %,
was taking water when the second section
came along at a good clip and made forci-
bic claim to the right of way. This was
successfully but dis~astrously disputed by
the first section.
NJ. M. Brown, the gentleman injured,
was in the caboose when the crash came,
but was found unconscious on the running
board of the engine ofthe combative train.
He carries a bad scalp wound and Is Sc
verely burned all over. His back, legs,
ankles and feet are terribly blistered and
his pain is very great. He is under the
care of DIR. Wyman at the county hos.
pital and will be confined there for some
time.
There was a great slaughter Of mutton
at the wreck. Brown had charge of sew
eral car loads of sheep and these were hit
hard. The bleating, woolly creatures
were sent flying through the air. Some
were simply crushed to death and others
were frightfully maneled.
The " box ears burned contained bar
ley and copper ore.
An east bound passenger train due here
at 10 o'clock yesterday morning did moi
reach the city until twelve hours later and
freight was delayed.
The cause of the accident was failure of
the air brakes of the second train to re-
spond. An investigation will be held.

Entirely Too Literal.

Tommy Jones was nota very bright
boy, and when his teacher, at the
close of school one afternoon, told
him he must write a composition on
the pump tomorrow, he took her at
her word. The next morning, there
fore, instead of starting to school at
the usual hour, he mounted the big
wooden box pump in the yard, and
with his slate on his knee began to
write the desired composition.
But Tommy's father happening to
pass that way discovered him and
asked him why he was not off to
school. And when the boy replied
that the teacher had told him to write
a composition on the pump, Mr.. Jones
burst out in a hearty laugh, much to
Tommy'ssurprise.
An explanation followed, and the
boy jumped down from the pump and
started for school, convinced that he
needn't sit Oh a pump to write a COM
position on a pump or about a pump.

Colonist sleepers.

The Union Pacific Ry.. also known as
The Overland Route. has lately added to
its service q number of new cars (Which
by the way are built by the World famous
Pullman Company entitled Colonist
Sleepers, and which for convenience and
comfort are but little behind the hand
some Pullman Palace Car. The cars are
designed for the use and comfort of the
Colonist, who with his family intend NOV
ing West to grow up with the country.
The only difference between these cars
and the regular first, class Pullman is that
the Colonist sleeper is not upholstered.
There are fourteen sections in each car,
and separate toilet rooms for ladies and
gentlemen. At night, by means of slid
ing h~eadboards and heavy damask cur
tains as much privacy is secured as if in
the regular first class sleeper. Plenty of
fresh, clean towels and a good supply Of
water are also to be. found. A uniformed
porter accompanies each car to look after
the comfort and attend to the wants of
the passengers. and no smoking is al
lowed. 1t certainly seems that tor cheap
and comodious sleeping Accommodations,
while travelling these cars cannot be ex-
ceiled.

A pretty story of royal etiquette is
told by The Pail Mall Gazette. 1t
seems that all the royal children,
whether of Prussia, Austria or Bava-
ria, take equal delight in seeing the
soldiers present arms to them. When
the Princess Gisela, who is aunt to the
years old, she used to make a great
fuss every time her gloves were put
on She vas told one day that if she
diers would not salute her. All of a
sudden the little girl became most
eager to wear gloves. Then as soon
as she was out of doors she peered
about for soldiers. Directly she caught
sight of n she held up both her little
fat hands and cried, II got my gloves"

STRUCK IT RICH.

How . Poor wanderer Was Made n MIL
From the New York World.
Several gentlemen were seated i'm a
Wall street, New York, office on Saturday
evening discussing the fortunes of North,
the itinerate king, who sojourncd here for
u few days not long ago, when one Of the
party said i'm the hearing of n reporter:
''Well, North isn't n circumstance to nm
EnRlishman l know by the name of Cor
don who is now living i'm London with the
income Of n Rothschild, and all acquired
like North-in fertilizers. Well, I'll tell you.
The island of Curacao, Oft the coast of
South America. is surrounded at various
distances by smaller islands. For many
years these small islands had been worked
for phosphate deposits of low grade, vet
sufficiently remunerative to enable the
owners to make q decent ii~vsilh1od Sn-
broad. If ever there was n desolate, God
forsakcn place it's Curacao. 1t is one
m fa"nd OF ap sSSk which ind nc" q b SH,i e" Of grass sa" ca nn
grow. The hay and grain upon which the
beasts Of burden subsist must all he inn
ported from abroad.
"Well, Gordon came to Curacao with
out any special object i'm view. He was a
young man and hadn't a cent he could
phate deposits on the adjoining islands,so
he set about doing what nobody else had
ever thought of,~,prospectinR the main
fore he discovered a peculiar-looking
granite sort of n rock, which he sent to
England for analysis, with many other
samples. This particular sample was
found to carry a very. high percentage of
the nutriment that exhausted lands require
to make them productive. Gordon Sc
cured a ninety-nine years. lease of an inn
mense tract of rock. agreeing to pay the
princely royalty of 81 for each ton ex-
tracted. To-day Gordon OWNS n line of
steamships employed exclusively in trans
r,ortinU tine rock to Liverpool, where it is
crushed and sold. His fortune is variably
estimated away up i'm the millions of
pounds. The royalty which he pays not
only covers all the government expenses
of the island but n handsome surplus he
Sides. So great is the percentage of good
i'm the rock and so vast are the quantities
ouarried that the miners ON the adjacent
islands have virtually been unable tn
compete and have abandoned their quar-
ries and turned to other pursuits.
