for the plants to make any progress in

Giassmaking aud Blindness.

There is one terrible circumstance
in connection with tho Venetian glass
industry, and that is that after many
years Of work. when these good
people arc between 40 and 50 years O!
age, they begin TO lose their sight and
after short while are wholly blind.
There seems TO be no remedy for this
unfortunate state OF things, FOR many
protective devices have been tried
without success. The blindness Is
caused by the excessive heat and also
by the glare Of the never ceasing
flames from tho glass furnaces. It Is
some comfort 10 know that these poor
victims to art are content to live very
simply, and as their wages are high
they are able TO save large sums. Thus
their declining years, although passed
under such sad conditions, have not
tho additional misery which want en-
tails.-Chambera' journal.

Top Dressing Wheat With Straw

T. B. Terry rolatos the following ex.
porience on the above named subject
in the Conatry Gentleman:
l wrote you las. year about my sue.
cess with using straw on an exposed
hillside to prevent winter killing. Last
fall we put straw OIL two or .hree acres
that had a northwesterr exposure.
This was done in December when the
ground was frozen. It is Hard to tell
how thick we put it. AS nearly as l
can write it. we put on our strawberries
just enough go one could not see
through, and on tho wheat juss enough
SO he could barely see Through: There
WAS one spot where my son got on a
load or two, as I thought, almost too
thick-about right for strawberries !;
but the wheat worked through it all
right. I feared for the clover seed
sown on there; but to my surprise it
started quicker and came MP ranker
than on the thinner places. Only once
before since I have been here have
had as good wheat on that exposed hill
side. In 1883 and 1886 it vas a fail
ure and hurt my average. This year
it was good enough, and the clover is
now fine.
One Of your readers, who lives in
Waynr county, this State, led by my
article last year, put straw all over his
wheat field right after drilling. lie
says the wheat came up through nicely
and did as we'll as he could ask. 1t
seems as though this would cause too
much driving over and trsmping the
ground when 1t was soft; but again, the
wheat growing up through would hold
the straw from blowing in punches.

Trees and Shrubbery Near Build
ingS.

A mischievous error is that OF plac-
ing trees close to buildings. Although
trees and shrubs are the chot decora-
tive ornaments Of place, they become
positively injurious when closely massed
arounp q habitation. Where large
tress are allowed to spread and over.
hang the roofs, choking cutters and
water.lcadcrs, and causing deposit of
mold and other fungus as far as their
influence extends. it is impossible for
the house to be dry, comfortable, or
healthful. Many of the older houses
throughout the country are rendered
almost uninhabitable by the dense sur
roundings Of trees and shrubbery, and
the evil is greatly aggravated when the
trees are of evergreen species. Plant
ings Of the finer species of dwarf flow
ering shrubs may be placed in moder-
ately large masses on the lawn near the
house without injury, if not too fire.
quently repeated; but continuous thick
cts near the building, on any except
the north side, will sensibly exclude
the cool breezes, so grateful! during
summer. A house nesting on the sun
ny side Of an evergreen plantation is
suggestive Of comfort, and presents q
cheerful, sheltered appearance during
winter. 1t is as economical as it is at
tractiye; but even these, to be Of the
greatest benefit, should not approach
nearer than Que hundred feet Of the
house. Isolated specimens of rare, or
otherwise specially interesting trees,
may be planted nearer. A certain
amount of shade is very desirable, es-
pecially in climates where, during a
great portion of the year it is agreeable

ing growth should not be planted near.
er than sixty feet from the walls of a
dwelling house. Those Of medium size,
such as the Norway and English maple,
that do not attain height Of more than
thirty feet, may be planted thirty to
forty feet from the building. An ad-
diticnsl disadvantage resulting from
surrounding the building with thicket
of foliage is that it shuts out the views
of immediate and distant scenery, and
the house, as an object of the local
landscape, is hidden from view.-H.

Torn from ner arms that dread day;

Thinking Of ending the struggle
By closing the terrible strif.

FRANKFoRr, Ind, Dec. s-The Chi
cago limited, one OF the handsome yes
t.bule trains recently placed on the
road between Cincinnati and Chicago
BY tho M0nOn route, was wrecked
shortly after noon today, half a mile
south of this city. While running
along at speed of about forty-tive
miles an hour, the rear trucks of the
tender LETT the track. causing
a dlscOnnectiOu OF the air brake and
leaving the engineer pOwcrless 10 check
the speed. The engine went plunging
on the trestle work, which is about 300
feet M length. Here the baggage car
and one coach LETT the track. and after
plOwiug through ties and timbers for a
few feet went rolling over into the
creek nifty feet below, completely de
mOltshing them. The char and din
ing cars, although leaving the track,
remained hanging 10 the trestle, and
were not badly damaged. Baggage
man Warren. OF indianapolis, was the
only one in his car, and escaped with a
few bruises and sprained ankle. In
the wrecked coach were four passen-
gers, one OF whom, Mrs. Wunder, of
Chicago, received an ugly cash over
her left temple. The other passengers
were only slightly bruised. The dam
age 5 estimated at S25, 900 TO the COM
pany. The bridge is an entire wreck
and will neCessitate anew one, delaying
through trains for several days.

THE GAS DEAL.
The Status of the Matter at the

The Stockholders said 10 Have Given an
Option-Hy Hydraulic Men Interested-A
wish Expressed.

Since the publication in the TELE-
GRAM-HERALD exclusively, of the con.
templated change of ownership of the
Grand Rapids Gas Light Company, the
officers have loosened then tongues
somewhat.
The matter, it appears, is not fully
settled. The agent of the Eastern par
ties whose visit here was mentioned,
obtained an option upon the major
portion Of the stock, but the time given
them IN which to decide has not cx-
pired and IL is not definitely known
whether the transfer Will be made.
The Eastern parties who hold the option
are among those interested IN the Hy-
draulic company, and probably Mr..
Crows trip East may have something
10 do with 1t.
at is to be hoped" said leading
citizen yesterday, "that the sale of the
gas property will be effected this time,
for If 1t Is, have every reason to be-
lieve that one of the good results that
will come from the transfer Will be the
investment of not less than half mil
non dollars in new blocks and buildings
in the city within the next twelve
months. 1t is one of the methods by
which the outside capital actively m
vested in the city may be largely IN
creased, and for that reason hope the
deal Will 90 through"
