Hand Carving Being Dispensed With by the
Grand Rapids Furniture Makers.
The woodcarvers who struck May / for
nine hours work with Mn hours pay are
still out. They are receiving financial aid
from the other labor organizations in the
city and substantial encouragement from
outside sources, and as yet have shown no
signs of weakening from the original posi-
ton taken a month ago. Manufacturers
are crippled by the strike, MS all goods are
more or less adorned with carved work,
but they are worrying along and do not
propose to make any concessions. In the
meantime machine hands and cabinetmak-
ers employed in the factories are organiz-
ing, and when their unions are sufficiently
strong they are expected to follow the ex-
ample set by the carvers and make demands
for shorter hours. This new force is not
ready yet, but the chief agitators are con-
fdent it will be soon and that then the
manufacturers will be brought to time
with a quick turn or be obliged to go ont of
business, for while it may be possible to
do without the carvers, when the other
artisans 60 out the factories will have to
shut down.
The carvers' strike may have an import
ant effect on the styles of bedroom, din
ing-room hall and library furniture. The
new patterns which will be offered the
trade with the opening of tho fall season
in July will be remarkable for their lack
Of carved ornamentation. Some of the
manufacturers will try marquettaire, 9TH
ers will resort to pressed ornaments, brass
and carved holdings. Hand carving will
be avoided as much as possible. Two
years ago everything was heavily carved.
Then the carving machines were new and
carving was placed in the reach of the
most humble. The furniture put on the
market in January was carved, but not
profusely. In July the new styles will be
even less adorned, and in January next
from present indications there will be none
at all, or very little, the decorative features
running in other lines.

South Dakota.
The long looked for rains have come.
The grain sown on August and September
blowing was all up and growing, while that
sown on spring and late fall blowing did
not have sufficient moisture to start the
seed. The heavy winds have not affected
the wheat fields. Farmers have been
breaking steadily all the spring, requiring
extra teams to do the work. As the
prairie is now in excellent condition
farmers will at once commence to break
and q very large amount will be done until
the season is over. The increase in acre.
age Of wheat sown over last year is about
40 per cent; OF fax over last year from rs
to 100 per cent. The great increase in the
acreage Of fax sown is owing to the heavy
immigration of this and last spring, All
our Oldest settlers, Who have been here
since 1885 and 1885, have each sown to

A FATAL POSITION.
Strange Fatality Among the Physiclans o.
an Indian Reservation,

All AAuld AAoSoTNaClOus ..
A strange fatality seems to lurk about
the Office of physician at the Devils Lake
Indian reservation, on the south side OF
the great lake. Within the past eighteen
months the Office has been
filled by four different doctors,
three of whom IRE dead and
one totally Incapacitated for practice.
A month or two ago D.. w. T. O'Donnell,
of Devils Lake, received disappointment.
He had scarcely entered upon his work
when he died very suddenly. At his death
DR.. G. G. Ellis, of Devils Lake, was as
signed the position. DR.. Ellis had been
on duty but ten days when he contracted a
severe cold, which was followed by pneu.
monia, resulting in his death. DR.. Ellis
was one of the first settlers in this 10.
cality. It is fair to say that none of these
Inflated men were of rugged physique, and
there Is no mystery surrounding their
death. In point of health the reservation
excels that of all others.

Great Storms In tho East.

A severe rain and and electrical storm
passed over O large section of western
Pennsylvania, doing great damage to
property and resulting in the loss of sew
eral lives. In the last end of Pittsburg
houses were blown down, trees uprooted
and small buildings demolished. A house
on Black Horse hill, occupied by John
Miller, was lifted bodily from its founda-
ton aud blown to q co nsiderable distance.
The family escaped with slight bruises. At
least q score of other houses in the vicinity
were unroofed. A large number OF per.
sons received slight injuries, but as for as
known there were no fatalities.
At McKeesport hailstones as large as
walnuts fell, while the rain poured down
in sheets for q half hour. Lightning
struck several buildings and considerable
damage was done. The greatest injury
was done by water, which came down
Whites hollow in streams ~seventy-fve
feet wide. The water was five feet deep
on Fifth avenue and o number Of houses
below the grade were submerged.
At Greensburg, William Frye, a gardener
at St. Joseph's academy, was killed by
lightning. The heavy rains caused great
damage in the low lands in tho vicinity.
Lightning struck a number ..of fine build
ings, doing great damage in every instance.
Near Washington, Pa, lightning struck
q derrick on the Miller farm, shattering it
and killing William Furman, seriously in
juring William Gates and stunning two
others.
In Fayette county the rainfall was ex-
tensive and did much damage to railroads.
A heavy landslide occurred at Oakdale,
and as it was being cleared away a still
heavier one came down, blocking both
tracks. The flood in Mouse creek carried
away many buildings.
At Layton station an immense amount
of mud, rocks md trees came down on the
Baltimore q Ohio tracks. The rain there
amounted almost to q oloudburst.
At Scottdale the storm WAS particularly
destructive. The cellars along all the
principal streets are nearly filed with
water and goods in stores saturated. The
creek is rising steadily and the safety Of
the bridges between Scottdale and Fair
chance endangered.
A dispatch from Oil City, Pa, says:
Heavy rains have fallen almost steadily
since last midnight and are raising the
water in the river and creek to the highest
| point since 1883. On account of wasbouts
there are no railroad communications with
Buffalo or Warren. The ground floors Of
the lower portion of the town are flooded.
At Wheeling, w. Va, two and one-half
inches of rain fell In twenty minutes,
deluging the streets and flooding a number
of business houses. There are apprehen-
sions of a big Use in the river. In Pitts
burg the heavy rain is likely to swell the
river to flood proportions.
A special from Erie, Pa, says: Long
continued rains have caused a great deal
of trouble on the railroads in this section
of the stute, and there are many washouts.
A w~est-bound freight on the Nickel Plate
went through a bridge near GRAFTON. Three
trainmen we're severely injured. Twenty
five cars went down into the flood.

AN ENEMY OF WHEAT.
Ravages Of the Saw Fly in the Central
Illinois Fields.

"8s SHW Fly III tN9 central
Illinois Fields.
An insect called the saw fly is reported
to be running the wheat in various parts of
central 1llionsis, notably in Logan county
where the area of wheat planted is un-
usually large and where, until the ravages
Of this insect began, the promise was re-
markably fine. AT Broadwell a collection
of punches of wheat, pulled from isolated
fields throughout Logan county, has been
made, which indicates that the devastation
Is widespread. No field has yet been found
that is free from the pest, which attacks
the root and bores into and up the stem,
bringing decay and death. Large areas Of
wheat will be ployed up and the land
planted in other crops.

Hints For stock RsIser..

Here are some valuable hints to
stock raisers. They are offered by the
Live Stock Record ..-..-
Following are the six leading laws
of heredity, according to an eminent
authority:
!. That from the male parent Is
mainly derived the external structure,
confguratiOn and outward character
istics; also the locomotive system OF
development.
2. From the female parent is
derived the internal structure. the
vital organs, and in a much greater
proportion than from tho male, the
constitution, temper and habits, In
which endurance and bottom are in
cluded.
3. That the purer the race OF the
parent the more certainty there is OF
It's transmitting its qualities to the off
spring; say IL two animals are mated,
If one is of purer descent than the
other. he or she will exercise the
influence in stamping the character OF
the progeny, particularly if the great
er purity is on the side OF the male.
A. That apart from certain disturb
Ing influences or cause, the male, if of
pure race aud descended from stock
Of uniform color, stamps the color oil
the offspring.
3. That the influence OF the male is
not infrequently protracted beyond the
birth OF the offspring of which he is
the parent and his mark left upon SUBJ
sequent progeny
6. That the transmission OF diseases
Of the vital organs is more certain ii
on the side of the female. and diseases
of the joints If on the side Of the male

Cream rises In the milk by force OF
Its higher specific gravity, just as a
cork rises In water. This tendency to
rise is counteracted by the viscosity
or adhesiveness OF the milk, due to the
caseine dissolved in 1t, as we'll as a
considerable quantity OF serum or mu-
Gus. the presence OF which In milk is
discovered by the separation OF them
by the centrifugal separator, and can
hardly be realized until this ocular
demonstration has been given. If we
put handful or corks at the bottom
OF pail Of molasses they will rise very
slowly. The difference in the specific
GRANTEES is overcome with difficulty
because OF the adhesivene5s of the fluid.
If we can overcome this adhesiveness
In any way, or change the specific
GRANTEES, the tendency Of the lighter
matters to rise 10 the surface of the
fluid will be increased. And this we
can do with milk in more than one
way.
One way is by cooling the milk and
thus adding TO its density or prac-
tically its weight. The milk being
made heavier, and the butter globules
not increased in weight, they become
relatively lighter and rise to the sur
face more quickly. Thus by setting
milk in ice water at As degrees, the
cream rises in twelve hours, and at
the end of twenty-four hours becomes
quite thick from the more complete
separation of the fat globules. But ice
is not always to be had, and the COM
ing summer will be scarce and dear.
Hence u cheaper method will by very
desirable. This is to reduce the WIS.,
costly Of milk by the addition of water,
so as to free the fat globules and per-
NIT them to rise more easily through
the fluid. This may be done by add
ing one-third the quantity of hot water
TO the mix as soon as 1t Is taken from
the cows aud brought into the house.
The water should be heated to 1870 or
1855 degrees and the heat should be
tested by the thermometer so as to
have the temperature precisely. The
hot water is simply poured into the
milk after it is strlined into the deep
pals and the pals are then set in
water ut u temperature of 60 to Sc
degrees. The milk is raised by the
hot water TO 100 degrees and the cool
ing OF 40 degrees effects the separation
of the cream In twtnty-four hours, as
in the colder setting at 40 degrees in
ice water, The separation OF the
cream is effected by the sudden re-
duction Of temperature of 40 degrees.
This increases the density and weight
Of the milk. which renders the fat
relatively lighter, and the separation
is thus made easier as well as by the
thinning Of the milk.
