IMPROVE YOUR LAWNS.
HOW to Make tho Grounds Around Countr
Homes Attractive.

Now to Make the Grounds Around Country
Homes Attractive.
Nowhere does individual taste more
clearly betray itself than about the
homes of the more or less well-to-dO
people scattered all over the country.
Village improvement societies have
done something toward awakening
public sentiment in this direction, but
individuals can do more by making
their own grounds attractive and keep
ing them in order. Herein lies the
secret of success. No amount of elab-
crate designs can compensate for Jun
shorn grass, untrimmed trees or neg
lected fower-beds. If only one of the
three essentials of good lawn is
practicable, namely, grass, trees and
flowers, by all means give us grass.
distant hills and plains may be made
beautiful by trees alone, but all near
grounds require this velvety covering
to render them attractive to the eye
and interesting to the mind" Indeed
it has been truly said that mo splendor
of flowers or of foliage would COM
pensate for the absence of grass" in
which exists the nurest green of vegeta-
tion. We find, however, poor and
Indifferent article on many country
lawns. This is usually the result of
too much shade and a neglect to keep
up the soil. The best way to remedy
the trouble, if moss and weeds pre-
dominate, is to plow up and enrich the
soil. Grade, if necessary, and SOW with
lawn-grass seed, and take proper care
thereafter. If grass is only thin. more
food is evidently wanting. An occa-
sional top-dressing of some approved
fertilizer through the summer is ad-
visable, but it should be put on just
before rain. A coat of well-rotted
manure is beneficial in the fall. When
this is raked off in the spring, grass
seed should be sown wherever bare or
thin places are visible. This treat
ment, with the frequent use of the
lawn-mower, leaves little to be desired
in this direction. American Agricult-
urist

The House and the Flock.

It may never have occurred to some
that the capacity of a poultry-house
depends not entirely upon the number
of hens in a flock. but on the size OF
the hens. A house that will afford
ample accommodations for a dozen
Brahmas will permit of its use by
eighteen or twenty Leghorns. There
is quite difference in the size of the
large and small breeds, and the roosts
OF the small ones may be placed higher
up if desired. While the Brahmos
may require more room in the house,
the Leghorns should have more yard
room, as they are more active and re-
quire larger area of ground over
which to forage. Mirror and Farmer

A New Industry in Russia.

During the last few months a new
industry has sprung up in Russia in
the form Of nicotine extract This
product not only finds sale in Russia
but is already exported in consider
able quantities, especially to South
America The lees obtained, when
preparing the tobacco Leaf, have been
used for long time for destroying
parasites on plants, and they have also
been found efficacious when applied as
an antidote to the various skin
diseases to which sheep are liable. It
has now. however, been discovered
that the product affords remedy
for another destructive agent-name-
iy: the dry rot among sheep-and last
autumn the Russian firm OF Nikolai.
Bogianow. g. Co., started works in
Moscow for the production of nicotine
extract on large scale. Four to five
pools OF common Machorka tobacco
yield only about one pood of the ex-
tract, but in such a concentrated form
that teaspoonful is sufficient for
nearly two pints of water, and the
works produce about fifty pools OF the
extract per diem. The Russian Gov.
.rnment has decided to exempt this
product from excise duty. Any other
uses to which this nicotine may be ap'
piled, although not difficult to imagine
have not yet transpired.-'St Petas'

Did Il Elect Harrison?

The following appeared in Minnesota
paper: members of the Democratic
party have been using all subtertuges to
account for their overwhelming defeat, and
numerous are the causes alleged.
II was talking with several of the van
quished on Fourth street the other day,
opposite bill board, and one of the party
exclaimed: "If it had not been for the
closeness of the National Committee in the
expenditure of money, we would have
elected our man. The Republicans ad-
vertised their man like circus" Several
Of the party remarked that no advertising
was done except small announcements in
the papers, and few hangers on the
dead walls.
"Hangers!" said our informant. "What
do you call that buta circus postera" point
ing to twelve-sheet medicine poster on the
| bill board, bearing the cuts of Gen. Har-
rison and his grandfather.
IF the Democrats had advertised like
that, Cleveland would have been re-
elected"
The poster referred to was ono Of the
familiar black and white Log Cabin Sar-
saparilla posters sent out by an enterprising
firm engaged in the manufacture Of old log
cabin home-cures, under the name Of War
ner's Log Cabin Remedies, and among other
equally valuable articles includes the IA
nous Log Cabin Sarsaparilla, which is
everywhere recognized as the best Of all
spring medicines and stands without rival
for the cure of all disorders which are the
results of impure blood.
The spring time of the year is the season
when the system needs renovation; the
long winter has caused the blood to become
filed with impurities.
There exists no better means to aid and
strengthen the system at such an urgent
period than the use Of Warmers Log Cabin
Sarsaparilla, which speedily restores the
blood to pure and healthy state, which IN
sures health and happiness.
The reputation of the firm putting out
the medicine is above reproach, and is the
same firm which manufactures Warmers
Safe Cure, the standard remedy for the
cure of all those diseases peculiar to the
kidneys as well as those which are the re-
suits of disease in those organs, and which
has met with such phenomenal success for
the past ten years.
We understand that the posters referred
to made their appearance in many parts Of
the country sometime prior to the Chicago
Convention which nominated Gen. Harrison
as candidate for the Presidency-hence
the use made of the portraits of the Harri-
sons, father and grandson-was either the
result of remarkable political foresight or
in accordance with the historical associa-
ton of the old Log Cabin with the name of
Harrison.

Reunion of California Veterans.

Yesterday morning there assembled in
Evergreen cemetery, at the grave OF
William Elder, member of Company
K, First California Infantry, a group OF
relatives and former comrades who had
come to decorate bis grave. They were
son, William ]. Elder, the sons wife
and two children, and Lieutenant George

Wyndham R. Bates, of Brooklyn, N. Y,
Corporal Jared 7. Kimberly, of Walling-

Wallirgford. All of the latter are veter-
ans of Company K. The decoration Of
the grave was accompanied by few
remarks by Lieutenant Pettis. At the
home of Mr.. Hall in Wallingford these
four veterans met Wednesday for the
first time since they were mustered
out of the service. Their regiment
served in Southern California, Arizons,
New Mexico and northwestern Texas,
and had marching record Of over 400
miles, the highest OF any regiment in the
service. Last evening at Mr.. Halls
home they held another reunion, and

this afternoon, the three men being
severely injured. The engineer stated
that he was prevented from seeing the
wagon, until il was on the track, by a
house which INSTRUCTED the view near
the crossing. The horse was struck full
in the side, and cut in two, being in
stantly killed. The men were removed
to the hospital, where Mangene and
Demicheli, who were unconscious, were
found to have received injuries that NAV
prove fatal. Mangene had a number OF
scalp wounds, his right leg was broken,
and he was bruised about the chest. It il
thought that he is injured internally.
Demicheli's head and face are terribly
mashed, his left arm broken below the
shoulder, and his left hand mashed 20

the Adriatic from becoming Slav sea
He concluded by proposing a vote of con-
idence in the Government. Prime Min

have nothing to give and much to ask.
Confidence in the Government was then

The zeal Eisheries.

We cannot understand why the Can
adams are so restrictive ID their con-
struction of our fishery rights on the
Atlantic side, and yet are so impatient
that we should give anything but broad
and almost unlimited construction to
their rights to our seal fisheries in the
Alaskan waters. The American fisher
man off the Canadian shores is restrained
by the three-mile limit measured from
headland to headland; but when We
claim that the Alaskan waters shall be
measured by similar rule, they cry out
that we are trying to enclose whole sea
which the other nations are entitled to
fish in as we'll as ourselves. Well, if the
trend of the continent and the sweep of
the archipelago that belongs to US inclose
a sea, we have certainly as much right to
its exclusive use as Canada has to the
vast CULTS and bays on the northeastern
coast of America. We have no fear
that British cruisers are going to pre-
cipitate war by preventing American
revenue cutters from enforcing the laws
of the United States in the Alaskan
waters. If Canadian sealers are found
infringing them, they will be seized, and
British men-of.war will hardly venture
to retaliate by acts that would lead to
dangerous results. Section 1856 of the
U. s. Revised Statutes is the law on the
subject, and the proclamation of the
President, as we'll as the instructions to
the American naval captains, have all
been carefully drawn with regard to the
provisions of this section, which reads az
| follows:
Section 1856. No person shall kill any
otter, mink, maiten, sable, or fur seal, OF
| other fur-bearing animal within the lin.
it's of Alaska Territory, or in the waters
thereof; and every person guilty thereof
shall, for each ofense, be fined not less
| than $200'nor more than 81 600, or i'm.
prisoned not more than six months, OF
| both, and all vessels, their tackle, ap.
parel, furniture and cargo, found en-.
gagged in violation of this section shall be
forfeited; but the Secretary of the Treas
ury shall have power to authorize the
killing of any such mink, marten, sable
or other fur bearing animal, except ful
seal, under such regulations as he may
prescribe, and it shall be the duty of the
Secretary to prevent the killing Of any
fur seal and to provide for the execution
of the provisions of this section until it il
otherwise provided by law, nor shall he
grant any special privileges under thil
section.

SEATTLE, w. t., June 10.-Seattle has
started, in earnest, the work of building
again. Gangs of men are busily en-
gagged on the waterfront, removing the
debris and repairing and replacing the
ruined wharves. An attack has been
made upon the walls of the burned
buildings and they will Immediately be
removed, and work on the new struc-
lures begun. Men are engaged on the
cable lines and Front street will be
opened up in four days. The Gesler
avenue line, which was already closed
down before the fire, cannot be started
for several weeks.

started in few days, and the electric
light in a few weeks. The water works
are already in operation.
Railway and steamboat Transportation
has hardly been interrupted by the con-
flagration, though considerable incon-
venience has been experienced by both
in landing passengers. The business
houses are finding locations in tents in
side, and temporary structures outside,
the fire limits.
