The Free Show Enjoyed by New Yorkers
One Night.

The Free Show Enjoyed by New Yorkers
One Night.
Brooklyn Eagle.l
Twas very much amused a few nights
since by crowd of awe-stricken people who
surrounded the mansion of famous New
Yorker, on Fifth avenue, just this side OF
the park. The millionaire owner was NOV
ing around quietly in the crowd, with his
trowsers rolled up from the bottom aud the
collar of his overcoat turned up about his
ears He was, I think, equally interested
in the appearance of his house and the COM
mentssof the crowd.
The interest was due to an exhibition of
lace window curtains, which had been en-
broidered with heraldic devices of every
conceivable order. ALI the burners on the
first floor had been lighted, and, as it was
dark without, there was an admirable op-
portunity for a student in heraldry to study
the latest phase OF anglomania In town.
Every window had ducal coronet or some
similar design, and there was an endless
wealth of crests, coats OF arms and brilliantly
hued quarterings. Some of the curtains
must have cost vast sums of money tor the
intricacy of the workmanship was apparent
even to u tvro in such matters.
1t is not an uncommon thing in Europe
for the head of great and noble house to
have coat of arms woven at times in his
tapestry, but it is quietly, and not OBJ
trpsively, done. 1t strikes me that the
height of absurdity is reached when an
American citizen, whose father once drove
a canal boat mule, arrives at point where
he assumes the heraldic devices of such
famous houses as Devonshire, Marlborough,
Manchester and Argyll for his window
curtains

and condensed. and put into such language
as may be understood by the intelligent
farmer. This Office is under the direction
of Prof. W. o. Atwater, distinguished
scientist and one of the pioneers in expert
mental work in this country, and serves as
SORT OF CLEARING HOUSE
for the stations. Through this Office sta
tions are enabled to Interchange communi-
cations and to seek information, and thus
repetition in experimental work is largely
avoided. Thus the agriculture of the en-
tire country is benefited by the work of all
the stations, and the results of important in
vestigations in one section may be taken ad-
vantage of by agriculturists in other sec
tlons.
In accordance with the object and duty of
the stations, they are required to conduct
original investigations in every department
of agricultural science. They are required
to conduct original researches or verify ex-
periments on the physiology OF plants and
animals; to inquire into the causes of the
diseases to which they are subject and to
seek for remedies for the same; to seek in
formation concerning the chemical eompo-
sition of plants at different stages of their
growth; the advantages resulting from the
rotation OF crops; the capacity of new plants
and trees for aeclImation; the manufacture
and use of commercial fertilizers; the
analysis. of farm products of every kind; the
adaptation and digestibility of various
kinds OF food; varieties Of grain, vegetables
and fruits adapted to different localities;
questions pertaining to the dairy, and such
other researches or experiments as bear
directly upon the agricultural industry of
the country.
In this country it is yet too early to de-
termine the character of the experiment sta
tion movement by the results which have
been accomplished. The law under which
the stations have been organized has not yet
been three years in operation, and many of
them are only fairly started. Agricultural
experiments are made under varying condi-
tions of soil and climate. and conclusions OF
general value are only reached after years
of accurate observation and patient work.
In Europe and in the older States of this
country results have been gained which have
been of wide application and problems have
been solved which have been of the greatest
value to the farmers. The support of the
Government and the services of the ablest
Investigators and best universities and col
legesin the country are now pledged to the
turtherance of the agricultural movement,
and the favor with which this movement is
regarded is a striking illustration of the
appreciation of the public of the benefits
which agricultural science has afforded.

New York Press1
Chairman James E. Neal, Of the Ohio
Democratic Committee, who engineered the
cam paign which landed Governor Campbell
in the State House at Columbus, has been
at the Fifth Avenue Hotel for several days.
He is lawyer with a large practice, and
one OF the handsomest men in the Buckeye
State, both in form and feature. Concern
ing Democratic politics in Ohio, he said to
among other things:
Governor Campbell is the logical candI-
date of the party for denomination next
year. do not know whether or not he will
run again, but if he wishes to run he can
have the nomination. He is strong can
didate, and il he carries the State again will
be at least Vice Presidential timber for 1892.
We do not regard Major Mckinley as the
strongest man the Republicans can put up
for Governor, but am not advising them
as to their nomination. It is certain that
Ex-Governor Joseph B. Foraker and his
friends will control the convention, and that
whoever is nominated for Governor will owe
his nomination to them"

not the best, Mr. Miller ever produced. The
title is "THE CITY IN THE DESERT" It
somewhat resembles Looking Backward"
by Edward Bellamy, and still is very differ

"Poet OF the Sierras." 1t relates to an ideal
city In Mexico, and cannot fall to entertain as
well as suggest some new ideas worthy of
consideration by students Of the social prob

People Insist That Riding on Electric Cars
Helps Them.
The doctors and electricians say there is
no probability of rheumatic receiving ben
eft from riding in the electric cars, but, in
spite of the doctors and electricians, there
are dozens of men who have been materially
helped by going to and from their business
in the motors, says the st. Louis Globe
Democrat. There is downtown clerk who
every winter is laid up, sometimes for weeks
at a time, with rheumatism of the lower
limbs. 1t usually begins in October, but
this fall, having an idea that the electric
cars would do him good, he began riding in
them, spending as much time as he could
spare in the evening. riding to the end of
the line and back, and thus far be has not
had touch of his old trouble, and others
can testify to the good that has been done
them in the same way.
They all say they can feel no current, but
in some manner they have been helped, and
that is enough for them to know, without
bothering to find out how the thing was
done.

days of which he had spoken-when she
would have her young husband by her side
they would want something. Her grand
father had been kind to her; and they had
been through many years together.
He lay thus for nearly half an hour, the
tide of life slowly receding. He made but
one final effort to speak-nay, for second,
it seemed as If he would raise his head to
give effect to his last proud protestation.

CHRISTMAS JOYS
And the Pains They Cost Some Obscure
People.

People.
Brooklyn Eagle,l
The reverse side of the Christmas season
is full of pathos Painting shop girls have
been as common as bad bargains In New
York's big dry goods houses all the week,
and all the other employees, from the wan
and puny little creatures who act as cash
girls and messengers, were worked to a
point of exhaustion. One driver who de-
livers furniture for a prominent firm on
Fourteenth street was discovered by some
friends of mine on the Westside, as they
returned from the theater, asleep and almost
senseless on his wagon.
1t was after midnight. They walked him
up and he started back from Eighty-sixth
street to the stable on Tenth street. He fell
asleep, and the horse, which was probably,
as tired as the driver, got into collision with
a carriage. The driver of the delivery
was promptly arrested and disgraced, and
the firm promptly discharged him the fol-
lowing morning for dereliction of duty.
The man had gone to work at 7:3o in the
morning, clung to his labor continually till
the last delivery was made, and it was
proved that be had not finished his work
until midnight. Then he fell asleep from
exhaustion. His wages were 50 week.
Such men must long Tor Christmas every
year.

be.wonderfully beautiful in her ipvalidism.
Her hair is en- exquisite natural golden hue,
and her eyes are sapphires themselves. Her
beautiful mouth is red and fullzipped as
ever, and the soft curve of cheek and chin
has lost none of its grace.
She still cherishes the idea Of going upon
the stage, although one poor leg hangs stiff
and helpless, and the tiny slIppered foot
falls several inches short OF touching the
floor. The arm is also crippled. There is
still another surgical operation for Mrs.
Blaine to endure before she will relinquish
the hope of being able at some time to take
up the profession of her choice.
