THE Torrey bankruptcy bill is not
among those that congress can afford to
endanger by delay. 1t is one of the i'm
portant measures now pending. Who
ever opposes its progress lays himself
open to the suspicion that he is actuated
by selfish motives. 1t proposes a plain,
economical, just and prompt method of
adjusting the affairs of insolvents. Be-
ing applicable alike in all the states, it
will do for the settlement in bankruptcy
cases what our national currency does
for the exchange of values. We might
as well return to the state currency as to
longer remain under state insolvency
laws. The business of the country needs
this law, and bust ness men will not be
satisfied with any excuse for delaying
action on the bill.

Dr.. BID. HALsTEAD read at Indian.
npolis q paper on rotor the sweet potato,
urging that it demanded instant alton
tlon. He had sent questions to over 800
growers in Now Jersey. Replies showed
that o large proportion suffer from this
cause, 1t has been known many years, is
worse some seasons than others; that
variety, soil, climate. etc, arc all modi-
flying agents, and that tho diseaseis rot
understood. The sssoft-rotn is due to the
growth of q mold (Rhizopus nigricans,)
which spreads through the potato and
then to others. Tho ssdry-rot" is prob
ably due to tho growth of a blue mold
(Penicillium.) Experiments with driving
with heat show that when affected pota-
toes are we'll dried, the sssoft-rotn Is ex-
cecdingly contagious.
HOT water is a clean, safe and effective
means of destroying green fly on pot
plants. To the amateur, whose stock of
plants might be small, or who might not
have accommodations for fnmigating,
says Farm nld Garden, it would be found
a convenient remedy. There is a margin
OF many degrees between the lowest tenn
perature that will destroy this insect
and the highest that a plant can stand
with impunity. One hundred aud thirty
degrees Is y proper temperature, or as
hot MS the hand can DO held in two sec
onds. The plant should be plunged into
and withdrawn from the water instan-
%tancously. The smaller body and more
delicate skin of the insect is acted upon
more quickly than that of the plant.
Should anyone be afraid to employ the
remedy let her, If she has several plants
affected, try it on one first, and the next
day when she sees it has suffered no in
jury, she will have no misgiyings about
treating. the rest in tho same way.-

Morton Run, a Saloon.

Vice President Morton has now adj
mit:ed that liquor was being sold by the
drink at his hotel. the Shorcham, but
says that it has just como to his knowl-
edge. Hereafter, he says. it will olly be
sold by the bottle. A short time ago
when this question was before the public
Morton and all Republican papers
branded people who knew that LIQUOR
was being sold there by the drink I'M
said so as liars. Without knowing any
thing about the matter they said that it
was "a lie circulated to hurt the Rcpub.
lican party" Now the Vice President
of these United States acknowledge S.
Just what we said, that he is a saloon
keeper. The shame is as great now as
it was then, and the party parcr that
will uphold him in his v~illiany is not
above the saloon level itself. How often
are we to be told that we lie when we are
telling the truth? To day We say that
the State can not guarantee to any child
in the State OIL English education if the
Republican pledges are carried out.
After a while the truth of this state
ment will be admitted just as Morton
has admitted that he ran a saloon when
We said he did.-NorthaDesttrIt Mail.

YOUR FACE HERE,
What May Result From tho Growing Dis
lik OF Sunburn.

- may LN0 UrOWLUk LIS
Xix OF Sunburn.
The fair sex often seek eagerly for O
preventive against sunburn, says the
New York Monthly Journal. Some re-
searches made by DIR. Robert Bowles
have resulted in the discovery Of an in
fallible one, but one which q woman
with even the most beautiful complex
ion will find too exacting in its condition.
1t is an acknowledged fact that sun on
snow burns more quickly than on rocks
or in heated valleys at a low elevation,
and DR.. Bowles remarks that sunlight
reflected from freshly fallen snow acts
much more cnergetically on the skin
than that reflected from older snow.
One brilliant day he painted his ace
brown and assembled the Corner Grat,
wheregthere, was much snow. There
were about eighty others making the
ascent.
In the evening all excepting Mr..
Bowles were smarting from the effects
of %sunburn. He points out that in Mo-
rocco and all along the north Of Africa
the inhabitants blacken themselves
around the eyes to avert ophthalmia
from fhc glare of the hot sands. In Fiji
the natives abandon their red and white
stripes when they go fishing on the reef
in the full glare of the sun and -blacken
their faces.
In the Sikkim hills, also the natives
blacken themselves round the eyes as a
protection from the glare of the sun on
newly-fallen snow. DR.. Bowles con-
cludes that heat Is not the direct cause
of sunburn, but that it is probably
caused by the violet or ultra-red rays
of light which are reflected from snow.

THE DAIRY,

WHEN studying cheap feed, remember
that 1t is not iced that is cheap because
poor; that feed is dear Mt any price.
Cheap feed is the best feed, so combined
rs to produce the best results for the
money outlay.
CLEAN milking, from o standpoint of
getting all the milk at one sitting is Of
the highest Importance, and to accom-
plish this ought to be the earnest aim Of
all milA,rs, and no COW should be left
until the last drop is drawn.
If you have a variety of feed for your
COWS, don't feed all of n kind this
month, another in December, and another
in FebrNary.1 Mix them-except feed
the pumpkins before they freeze, and
save some Of the best hay till spring.
A NEW separator is about to be intro
duced to America from England. II is
made in several sizes. The most inn
portant is the hand-size. skimnlng 400
pounds per hour with az little power, 1t
is claimed, as Is required by an ordinary
barrel churn.
j. II. MoNRAD says, in Germany the
milk delivered by ~peddlers is kept in
cans which are loaded In o locked refrig-
orator wagon, with only the faucets pro-
trnding, thus preventing h driver from
being too liberal to the pretty servant
girls and making up the quantity by add
ing water on tho route.
UNAERATED Milk, says F. D. Curtis, is
the mother of most floating curds and
cheese spoiled in this way. In shut-up.
cans 1t Is worse. 1t is the potent father
of t~yrotoxieon poison. 1t is the great
enemy Of infants, and the direct cause Of
q great deal OF cholera infantum. which

JUDaE CLEyELANH, of Franklin, Fer-
mont, has been retaining and breeding
from his best. butter cows only, the past
few ysars, and the gain in tho average
butter yield of his herd per COW shows
the wisdom Of such q course. The aver
age number of pounds OF butter per COW
in lss4swas ITO, in 1885 200, in 1887 a2s,
in 1888 235, and In 1889 $50. The cows
have good p~asturage In summer and good
hay ia winter, with q moderate allow

Women's good sense is said to come from

fota.h ln Corn Cobs.

A considerable portion of the mineral
manure required in growing corn is pot
ash, and most Of this is found in the cob.
1t makes a stronger ash than does the
grain, most of the latter being starch or
carbon and passing off in smoke. House,
wives long ago learned that ashes from
corr cobs made q strong Eye, and this In
dicates the value of corn cobs for manure
wherever potash is required.

The HOUSEHOLD.
The Care of lamps.

There are a great many people who
have used lamps all their lives who
know absolutely nothing about their
proper care. They wash chimneys with
soap and water, and cut tho wicks down
beyond the charred part, and lean back
with satisfaction, believing that their
work has been we'll and properly done.
In point of fact, the chimney of a lamp
should never be touched with water. A
few drops of alcohol, or even kerosene
oil, will remove the dim ued, smoky ef-
feet, and make the chimney bright as
possible when 1t Is polished with q soft
flannel or chamois skin. There will then
be no danger Of any moisture being left
in the chimney, so it will crack when the
lamp is lighted.
All parts of the burner of a lamp
should be thoroughly clean. A little
kerosene or alcohol on a cloth is as good
for this purpose as anything else to clean
the burner, providing it is polished clean
and dry afterward. Neglected old
burners may be boiled up in soda and
water, and renew their usefulness though
not their appearance, as this process re-
moves the lacquer put on most brass.
1t is o necessary to allow a burner to
get in such a condition that it must be
boiled in this way to clean it, but if it
oogs, mere Is no 1ettcr remedy:

ALWAYS avoid filling a lamp to the hrim

Bad Cincinnati, WHISKY.

Cincinnati whisky is justly famed for
the picturesque effects it produces in the
man who is foolish enough to drink it.
The case of Vim. Redmond, who regis
iStered at the police. station as residing
in New York, is a fair illustration. It
was reported to Patrolman Jordan the
other night that an unknown mar was
seen sitting in the belfry of St. Navier's
church with his feet hanging over the
side. The policeman climbed the three
long ladders which led up the steeple
and there found Mr.. Redmond In o
drunken stupor. Redmond was lowered
by a block and tackle and locked up in
q cell for safe keeping. When he was
sober enough to give some account of
himself he said he had climbed the stee-
pie and slept there for three consecutive
nights.

According to medical protest against
damp OF cold beds, warming pans should
come into fashion again. One medical
writer says: "Not only the guests, but
the family suffer the penalty of sleeping
in cold rooms and chilling their bodies at
a time when they need all their bodily
heat, by getting between cold sheets.
Even in warm, sunny weather a cold,
damp bed will get in it's deadly work. 1t
is needless peril and the neglect to pro-
vide dry rooms and beds has in it the
elements of murder and suicide"
