Animate and Inanimate Specimens In thU
Agricultural Department..


The newly-organized Department Of
Agriculture, while it is one of the
most interesting departments Of the
Government so far as its work is con-
cerned, does not possess much attrac-
ton for the average visitor, unless he
is interested in some of the expert
ments which are constantly being car
ried on there.
Probably no other Office is so over
whelmed with crank letters, and the
average granger with a theory to cul-
tivate this, that or the other is contin-
ually seeking the approval of the de-
partment or is willing to have an ex-
pertinent on some plan of culture for
his especial benefit.
Several days ago a request was re-
ceived for o yoke of oxen, horse,
cow, wagon, pillow, and complete
agricultural outfit of the latest ap-
proved patterns from a modest farmer.
In addition to stocking farm for him,
he asked the department to give him
an order on the General Land Office
for 160 acres of land on which to place
his outfit when he received it.
All sorts Of suggestions as to meth
DDS of agriculture are received, and
hardly day passes that request is
not received to start an investigation
as to what phase of the moon is the
better time to do planting.
A Virginian, with theory for the
manipulation of transforms, is a fire.
quent visitor. His idea is to have
balloons, carrying cannon, sent up into
the clouds and fired, in order to pro-
duce rain, and he bases the feasibility
of his theory on the fact that after
every great battle rain has followed.
There is also a mistaken idea that
the department furnishes seed for the
entire country, and ludicrous mistakes
are made sometimes Not long since
a prominent member of Congress re-
ceived request from q constituent to
send him some ''unyun seets." He
studied over the matter for some time,
wondering what was wanted, and final
ly concluded that his correspondent
wanted Union suit. Accordingly ne
purchased an old army suit and sent
it, but was considerably astonished
when he received the following letter:
am very much oblige for them pretty close
with brass buttons, but ware are them unyun
seets sent furf
The officials tell a good story on one
of the clerks, who formerly attended
to the correspondence. 1t happened
one day that the mail was very light,
the only letter being request for an
agricultural report. Not having any
thing else to do, the clerk wrote lcBg
letter to the applicant which was a
model of rhetoric He informed the
applicant that the department had
been in operation for some years, and
consequently had issued great many
reports, both monthly and annually
If he would specify which particular
one he desired the Office would taxi

quest, etc. The letter evidently rilei

ANARCHY IN CANADA,

Lumbermen Near North Bay Fighting for
Their Pay-They Storm the Company's
Stores and Kill the Manager.
TORONTO, Ont, May 4.-News has reached
the city of terrible riot among lumber
men in the district Of Algoma, near
North Bay. The men who have been
working all winter have not received a
cent OF wages, and after several peaceable
attempts to obtain their money have re-
sorted to force. Two days since they as
sembled to the number of several hundred,
and, again failing to convince the man.
ayers of the justice of their demands,
attacked the stores, killing the chief
manager and badly mutilating his
body. His assistants were taken
prisoners and are held as hostages But
they were not taken without resistance,
and in the conflict which followed two Of
the rioters were killed The enraged
mob, having full sway, soon pillaged
the stores and, becoming maddened
with whisky, took possession of the
country, which is now in state of terror,
the inhabitants of the district having barri-
caded their houses The district is far from
civilization and the only means of commune
cation is by telegraph wires along the Cana
dian Pacific. These have been cut and
all communication with Winnipeg and
western points is cut off. The news first
reached Toronto by traveller who arrived
in the city Friday and brought request
that aid should be sent Accordingly a
body of the finest men in provincial police
was sent out by special train.

Berries and Blossoms Badly Damaged In
Illinois and Indiana.
NATION, ILL.,, May 4-The dry weather
is causing wheat to head out month earlier
than usual, and the prospect for a good crop
is hattering. Heavy frosts during the present
week have caused the fruit growers to fear
that much damage has been done, but the
weather has been quite dry for several
weeks and the frost has had little effect
upon vegetation except on tender blossoms.
One strawberry-grow claims that three
fourths of his crop is killed Cherries are
also injured, but peaches are too far adj
vanced to be affected
OTTAWA, I'LL, May 4.-The severe frost of
Wednesday night has injured all kinds of
small fruit the damage being at least 80
per cent Strawberries have suffered the
worst Early vegetables are also badly
nipped.
CENTRAL1A, I'LL, May 4.-This section of
Southern Illinois was visited by heavy
frost Wednesday night, which was quite in
furious to the strawberries. 1t is esti-
mated that about one-half the blossoms
out of one-fourth of the entire crop are de-
stroyed.
PERU, Ind May 4-Vegetation through
out the county was seriously injured by the
heavy frost Wednesday night. Fruit trees
suffered seriously, many of them having
been stripped Of their blossoms. Farmers
from the northern part of the county report
having found ice quarter of an inch thick

NEW YORK, May 4-George Francis Train

water and little weak lemonade.
Thursday afternoon he rose late and went

is growing perceptibly thinner-says
his weight is now only 174-and pinches up
the loose bronzed skin, which begins to
hang with suggestion of CHASTITY empti-
