Sudden Death of am Aged Bethany Lady.

Mrs. Deborah Peck died about 9 o'clock Saturday morning very suddenly at her resi- dence, in the southern part of Woodbridge, aged nearly eighty-two years. She partook of supper as usual on Friday evening, and retired apparently in her customary health. Nothing was noticed in her manner during the evening to cause any unusual comment or to indicate that she was so soon to quietly pass away. Her daughter-in-law, Mrs N. F. Peck was awakened during the night by hearing her cough and went to her room, fol- lowed soon after by the son of the deceased, who discovered that his mother had very un- expectedly terminated long and very use- full life. Her death was what she had ex- pressed wish that 1t might be, sudden and free from suffering. Mrs. Peck was promi- nently connected with the Congregational church and Sunday school where her pleas- ing ways and agreeable manner of instruct ing secured the willing attention and univer- sal respect of the many members of her classes. She will be sadly missed by friends and neighbors, and especially by the mem bers of the home circle, but the family and neighbors may obtain some consolation in the remembrance that her life was longer than the average number of years allotted to mankind.
 Mrs. Peck was the mother of Nathan P. Peck, who has filled one of the highest offices in the town for several years, and at other times has been nominated for and elected to many other offices

THE MODEST NEW STATES,

THE MODEST NEW STATES.
 The new States will probably receive some attention from this congress. The repre- sentatives of these States are evidently going to get what they can for them. They have been interviewed, and they all agree in con- sidering the subjects of river and harbor improvement-in the Northwest-and irri- gation worthy of being considered before all others in congress. They lay particular stress upon the subject of irrigation, especi- ally the North Dakota representatives. In their opinion the government in selling them lands is doing them an injustice un- less it takes money out of the federal treas- ury to water them. They do not think for a moment that the State has any responsi- something in the shape of rebate is actu- ally demanded for the benefit of the State from the sale of lands. Senator Pettigrew's idea on this point is that the law should be passed granting to each State the proceeds of five per cent. of the sale of public lands since the organization of the Territories, to relieve the States from any burden of debt. and to give them surplus for such internal improvements as they see fit to contsm- plate. In other words, if the legislative pro- gramme of the new senators and representa- tives could be carried out, the federal gov- ernment would, after elevating the Terri- tories to the privileges and the dignity of Statehood, be required not only to pay for the most extensive public works, for watsr- ing lands and for improving rivers, but would be required to refund to the States a large amount of money acquired from the sale of public lands.

Chinese Floating Gardens. TErorn fbo China Raviav


 In the month of April bamboo raft, 10 to 12 feet long and about half as broad, is pre- pared. The poles are lashed together with in- terstices of an inch between each. Over this layer of straw au inch thick is spread, and then coating two inches thick of adhesive mud, taken from the bottom of 8 canal or pond. which receives the seed. The raft Is moored to the bank of still water, and re. quires no further attention. The straw gives way and the soil also, the roots drawing sup port from the water alone. In about twenty days the raft becomes covered with tho creep CT Upomosa reptams), and it's stems and roots are gathered for cooking In autumn its nestling among the round leaves, present . very pretty appearance In some places mashy land is profitably cultivated in this manner.
 Besides these floating vegetable gardens there are also floating rics fields. Upon rafrs constructed as above weeds and adhsr- ent mud were placed az flooring, and when the rice shoots were ready for transplantiDg they were placed in the floating soil, by which, being adhesive and held in place by weed roots, the plants were maintained in position throughout the season. The rice thus planted rirensd in from sixty to seven l ty instead of one hundred days. The rafts are cahled to the shore, floating on lakes 1 pools or sluggish streams. These foatini l fields served to avert fanines, whether bl drought or flood. When other fields wer' submerged and their crops sodden or rotten ] these hoated and Aourished, and when [ drought prevailed they eubsided with the l falling water, and while the soil around wal
 arid advanced to maturity. Agrieultura treatises contain plates representing rows ol l extensive rice fields moored to sturdy treei on the banks of rivers or lakes which exist ed formerly in the lscustrine regions of ths lower Yapgtse and Yellow rivers.

SILvRR RR,


 The plan of the secretary of the treasury for dealing with the silver question will, of course, receive very thorough discussion, for the matter is one which affects all business. The secretary's remedy for the. evils conn plained of is to issue treasury notes against deposits of silver bullion at the market price of silver when deposited, payable on demand in such quantities of silver bullion as will equal in value at the date of presentation the number of dollars expressed on the face of the notes at the market price of silver or in gold, or in silver dollars, at the option of the holder, and repeal the compulsory fea- ture of the present coinage act.
 These notes would certainly be good money, but strong objection to the plan is that it would give new chance to specula- tors. who have already fooled with govern ment money and bonds as much as they could. Itis pointed out that syndicate that could deposit $1 ,0OO. .000 worth of silver to-day, depress the price 50 as to get 10 per cent. more silver out in 8 fortnight, and then force the price up SO as to get q, 1,200, 900 on redepositing it, and so on indefinitely, would be far too attractive not to be formed. The safeguard MT. Windom proposes against this is in itself source of immense danger. He would give the secretary of the treasury fol the time being the right, at his discretion, tc refuse-and this, of course, carries with il the right, at his discretion, to receive--de posits. That ia power such as no finance minister in the world ever possessed. r It is eviden. that the right way of dealing with the bothersom silver question has mol yet been found. Perhaps it never will be.

Boston Etiquette. r- At n-xA

One hears much now of the need of eti quetts in the Boston schools. By all means don't confine it to those quarters, Spare Q little for everyday affairs. For instance: The other night an empty car reached Winter street, bound south. A young woman enter- ed by the front door, marched to the other end of the car and sat down. She left the door open, sat there and shivered. The con- ductor was busy at one end, the driver was buster at the other. A yonng man entered by the rear door, closed the front one, returned to the rear, and sat down in the second cor- ner. In came another woman by the front door, marched to the rear, sat down, leaving the door open, and shivered. A man sprang on the moving car, entered the open door, closed it after him, and sat down. The car stopped to avoid running down Q dray. 4 third woman of uncertain age entered by that front door, walked to the other end of the oar, sat down, and shivered. She, too, had loft the door open. Further, by actual count, within that half mile, nine women entered that door and left it open, exposing the pas- sepgsrs to the full force of the wintry air. Eleven men entered by the same door, each shutting it behind him. Are we to infer that these nine women were brought up in saw mills. Doubtless they could bring up sins without number against the men, too. But ''tu quoque" simply doubles the argument with which we begin.

The French Angler. fGrnp, All ina vaar RoIIud I


 During the siege of Paris, In spite of the shells that sang overhead and of the Prussian sentinels on the lookout for mark, . great many of these bold sportsman risked their lives outside the city Qualifications and wont taquiner le goujon on tho banks of the Seine. These are the enthusiastic anglers who count the days and nights to the opening day, and who pass the off season in a state of settled melancholy. These are the men who know every inch of the rivers banks and the holes in which tho quarry lies hid, and who stand motionless hour after hour, holding their breath, needless of rain, wind and sun, half mesmerized by the gentle bobbing of the float on which their eyes are fixed. They will pass the night under haystack in order to secure at the first streak of dawn good place where some legendary bite had occurred and which they have carefully Rround-baite over night. Though careful man, the French fisherman never sells the contents of his basket; he fishes for his family, and the proudest hour of the day, second only to the sees the "friturs" placed upon the table. The gudgeon, the roach, the eel, the teneh, the barbsl, the carp, the perch and the pike are all welcome to the anglers paste or maggot, for fly fishing he considers frivolous and as requiring skill that is out of place in 50 serious pursuit. But although tho net has almost swept the French rivers clear of fsh, 1t is against the modest angler that the law has fulninatsd it's edicts. The fisherman may not make use of more than one line, and may only have one hook at the end of that line; he may not put his rod on the ground, but must hold it in his hand; he is bound to leave the river at sunset and may not begin to ish till sunrise.

Experiments in Feeding Pig


 The object of some experiments made al the Kentucky experiment station was to de- termine the relative values of shelled corn, corn meal and corn cob meal for fattenine purposes, and the length of time these feeds would produce pork at paying figure. In these trials it was found that corn meal does not fattsn so we'll as does shelled corn. Nj. trogenous food produced less flesh but Q more hardy development than did non-nitro- genous foods. The following is brief sum. mary of the results:
 Shelled corn produces fat more rapidly than other feeds tested.
 Corn produces fat at cheaper rate than other feeds tested.
 Shelled corn produced pork at profit fol sixty-three days. Corn meal produced pork at profit for sixty-three days. Corncot meal produced pork at profit of ffty-foul days.
 The Chester Whites fattened more readi], than the Thin Kinds on the same quality O food.
 The nitrogenous foods produced so littl gain in live weight that 1t may be attributed to growth and not to fattening. Cotton seed meal could not be fed profita' bly,. Much corncob meal was wasted in feeding being picked over and refused. The pigs fed on nitrogsnous foods were & much stronger than the others that they caused them serious injury when turned oul to run together. Of the nitrogenous foods tested, that o corncob meal and ship stuff in equal part was the cheapest.

 Bismarck is a business man as we'll as a statesman. He is constantly improving his estates and adding to tho income which he receives from them. His distillsries at Var gin, the dairies in Schoenhausen, and the pa- per and street pavement factories make him already one of the greatest tradssmsn in the empire and show his industrial and business talents. He has recently added to this list large krickyard, which he has built in the forests of Louenberg. The clay in that neighborhood is of unusual pureness and ex- tends to great depth. Massive buildings for drying the bricks have been constructed. A railroad track has been laid, connecting the yard with the main road. Everything, in fact, has been done on the largest and grandest scale. The prince hopes to make more money out of this venture than from any of his other establishments. In all prob ability he will be wealthy enough before he dies to warrant the acceptance of the heridi- tary dukedem which he declined years ago because of his comparative poverty.
