Our United States Navy.

The VandGliG finally got to sea to-
day, and two days after the time
fixed for sailing. Considering the
time it usually takes to get one of
our naval vessels started this was
rapid work. She will not proceed
direct to Samoa, however, as she is
forced to stop at Honolulu to coal,
and if Kalakaua has any especially
attractive entertainments there, or
the officers desire to see the volcano,
we may expect to hear that it took
the best part of week to get in the
coal. Our navy ought to feel at home
in Samoa, where there is great deal
of resting between drinks.-S. r.

WESTERN MORTGAGES.

THE American Wool Reporter has
completed an exhaustive inveStiga-
ton on the western mortgage ques-
ton. 1t took one county, Phelps, in
Nebraska, as fairly illustrative of the
system. Phelps is one OF the smaller
counties of the state, purely agricul-
turaL On fertile land, one-half of
that under cultivation in 1879 being
devoted to wheat and corn, on Janu-
ary 1, 1888, it had 1859 farms, and
December l, these were carrying 2,051
mortgages. The assessed value of
the land was $685. and the face
value of the mortgages was $1,091,-
929. The total assessed value, un-
doubtedly below the true value of
the real and personal property
OF the county subject to taxation
was December 81, 1887, $780,
800, SO that if the county paid its
mortgage debts in the east four-ffths
Of all its lands, houses, horses, cattle
and live stock would go to meet the
debt. As the county has in it only
2,1Q quarter sections-the usual size
of western farm-when they are all
occupied by improved farms-they
will be about as numerous as the
mortgages, on which the "owners" of
the mortgaged land are paying 6. s
and 10 per cent, the most frequent
figure being per cent. In 1880
Phelps county had only 622 farms,
and in seven years these have been in
creased two and one-half fold. On
the other hand, its lands then were
valued:at S419,735, and the increase
since then amounts to only 40 per
cent, although the growth in mort
cages is undoubtedly much greater.

About 1856 ar Englishman OF letters,
Mr.. Kingston, visited this country. While
in Boston he took occasion to call upon
Mr.. Longfellow with letters Introductory

''Western Wanderings," it must have
been very gratifying to the visitor.

of our two great countries. After talk

Dlmoulty Easily surmounted.

Francis Nautet, the Belgian, who I'M
dertook to travel from Brussels to Paris
in a conveyance drawn by a couple OF
handsome dogs, was passing through
Louvroll. a small country town in the
department du Nord, when the mayor.
on the strength OF the Grammont law
against cruelty to animals, forbade him
to proceed. Mr.. Nautet thereupon had
ecourse to a capital e~xpedient for over
coming the mayors scruples. He packed
his dogs into the cart and dragged the
conveyance through the town himself.
When he had got clear of the boundary
of the township, the Belgian exchanged
places with the dogs, and completed his
trip to Paris without any further him
drance.-French Exchange.

William Crawford, 29 years old, who
died recently in Chicago, vas peculiarly
afflicted. He had only n skin, which
is to say that he had no outer skin at all.
The veins stood out all over his body In
the plainest manner possible. From the
time he was Q years of age young Craw-
ford had been subject to bleeding spells,
which were liable to break out at any
time and in any part Of his body. he
lost vast quantities of blood in this way,
and was afraid to take any sort Of eIer
else for fear OF starting the bleeding
afresh. For two weeks the young man
had been confined to his bed, being too
weak to sit up, and bleeding at the nose
having set in he soon passed away. Ply
sicians were sen for from various cities
in the east, but they could do nothing
for him. A new skin could not be grated

SPRAYING FOR THE GOBLIN MOTH.
The Conclusions Reached by Professor
Cook on the Subject.

The conclusions reached by Professor
Cook, after experimenting for number of
years with spraying poisons for the destruc-
ton of the Goblin moth, are summed up as
follows:
1t is more and more patent that it pays
remarkably well to spray our apple trees.
1t is, if not the only way, certainly by far
the cheapest and most practical way that
can conquer this terrible apple pest and
secure nice, sound, marketable apples.
We should never spray until the BIOS
SONS fall from the trees. To spray earlier
endangers the bees and the honey they
gather, and is too early to give the best
results. Too early, first, because it is not
needed till the blossoms fall, and the
earlier it is scattered the sooner it will
disappear or lose its effect; and second,
because the longer the poison is on the
trees the more likely it is that it will be
washed off by heavy rains. We should,
however, spray as soon as the blossoms
have fallen from the trees. At this
date no possible harm can come
to bees or honey; to wait longer is
to wait so long that some of the Larvae will
already have entered the fruit and be safe
from the poison. think we shall be in
time if we wait till the blossoms have
fallen, even from such trees as northern
spy, where the blossoms are slow to appear
and so late to fall. In case there is heavy
rain, especially if the trees are bearing
sparingly, it will often pay well to spray a
second time, two weeks after the first.
The proportion of London purple to the
water is important. One pound to 100
gallons of water is abundantly strong; and
as even this strength is sometimes injuri-
Gus to the foliage, especially if applied so
thoroughly as to insure contact with each
apple, we should never use stronger mix
ture, even three-quarters Of a pound to 100
gallons will often prove more satisfactory
than stronger mixture, especially so if
two applications are to be made. The
second application should never be stronger
than one pound to $50 gallons of water.

Different Phases of " Mind Cure !

Now that all forms of mental healing
are much talked of and largely adopted, it
might be well for the public TO know that
the disciples of the different schools resent
the common practice Of outsiders bulking
them all under the head of mind cure.D
Mind enters into each one, to be sure, but
in different forms and through different
doors. They who practice christian
science" draw healing from the Infinite
Mind, and consider their own minds as
at most a mere telegraph line through
which the vivifying power reaches the
patients mind. Plain "mind cure" works
by the operation Of the healer's individual
mind on the subject and partakes of what
is known as mesmerism or hypnotism.
Faith cure" and prayer cure" are one
and the same. both relying on faith to
override disease. If any one doubts that
the healing of disease by mental methods
is going on briskly in this city, let him
drop into the offices OF some of the best
known practitioners and see the collection
of patients waiting hour after hour in
order that each may get a treatment. Nine
o'clock is the hour for beginning the treat
ment of healing. An hour before that, six
or eight patients are in readiness to get
their slice of life and health as drawn from
the infinite source of all life and wholeness.
From this time on until the office closes at
night it is never empty, and most of these
reach point when they declare them
selves healed.-Ncic York Press.

California prunes In New York.

The New York Commercial Bulletin says.
'sThe California prunes that have come to
hand this season have proved a good card
to those who have been so fortunate as to
secure stock, as the buyers have found a
ready sale and at profitable prices. Many
of those who ordered early and obtained
prompt deliveries have already distributed
their purchases, and are now seeking to
obtain additional quantities. The crop Of
the State, as we have previously men,
toned, is a small one, estimates placing
the total quantity not to exceed 1000 tons;
therefore, when it is considered the vast
country over which this has to be distrib-
uted, it can readily be seen that the guam
tity to any one section must necessarily
be small. The industry must undoubtedly
prove paying one to the growers on the
Pacific coast, and we anticipate an annual
increase in the product, as the pushing
qualities Of the Californian are well
known the world over.n
