WASHINGTON, April pa statement
prepared at the treasury department
shows that the receipts from customs
revenue at the port of New York for the
first twenty days In April. 1891, were
81, I'll .03O, as against So. SIC, 602 for the
corresponding period of last year, making
the falling off nearly so per cent. The
receipts from customs at New York
, 1891-04-26

are about two-thirds of the total receipts
from customs of the United States. These
figures are attracting much attention 10
treasury department circles. Secretary
Foster especially is studying them with
tie view OF forming an idea whether the
receipts of customs are likely to continue
to decrease, or whether the decrease is
caused by spasmodic conditions of bust
ness: In March the customs receipts also
declined, but not in such a startling ratio.

'.Blood orangeso Can't be Stained

WASHINGTON, April %. - Blood
oranges" have been investigated by order
of the health officer of Washington.
The story that they are fixed with a
syringe and a little aniline dye has been
going the rounds of the newspapers. 1t
was seen by DR.. Townsend. and as the
supply of blood oranges in the Wash
ington market seemed to be abundant, he
directed an inquiry with a view to con-
demning the fruit if it had been tempered
with. The chemist to whom the matter
was referred to says in his report: The
oranges sre naturally stained, no artificial
c~oloring of any kind having been used.
The small SPOT on the side is a fungus
spot and not a puncture. 1t is impossible
to stain an orange by injecting an artificial
staining fluid into the fruit either before
or after plucking from the tree

Suicidal Tendencies.

Besides imitation there are other social
influences which lead to suicide, but the
most powerful is that which we denote
by the general term, civilization. Self
killing is emphatically the crime of in-
tellectual people. Almost unknown to
savages, rare among Mohammedans, it
RACES among the nations most advanced
in culture and refinement with a fierce
ness exactly proportional to their mental
development. 1t is said that Rome knew
nothing of this curse till after the estab
lishment of the empire. 1t was when
the Roman legions had carried their
eagles triumphantly through the world
and brought back the means of luxury in
the spoils Of Europe, Asia, and Africa,
that life in the Eternal City began to be
weary" stale, fat and unproi able.
To-day the Germans, who are the pro-
ioundest thinkers and the most cultivated
people, are also the mcst suicidal race in
Europe. France comes next, England
third, Italy and Hungary fourth; while,
on che other hand, Spain, the most back
ward of European nations in culture,
Ireland, Portugal, Corsica, and Dalmatia,
rank lowest in the suicidal scale. OF
the different regions of the same country
the north and no rtheast of France out
rank in culture aud in suicide the centre
and southwest; the north and centre of
Itlay outrank the south and the islands;
and 5axony, which in its schools and
general culture surpasses the rest of Ger
many, surpasses it also in the number OF
its suicides. In short, so universally does
the rule hold that the strength of the
tendency to self-killing may almost be
regarded as an index to peoples civili-
zation.- l-o,h american Reoier.

A Miraculous City.

Until the end of 1886, writes CORE
spondent of the london Graphic, JONAH
uesburg, South Africa, could not boast a
postofiice. Now it has population OF
some 10000, comprised of motley
crowd drawn from every nation under
the sun, as a walk through the stone
built streets of the town soon shows.
There is the original Boer, born and bred
in the country, rough of manner, careless
of dress, with long, lank hair and dress,
master of the situation for the present;
the occasional Britisher, who bears him
little GOOD will, and who has come out,
it may be, as wealthy Spectator or as
a rough Cornish prosrectOr-perhap'
simply just to look round and see what
is to be seen; the Dutch vrow, broad and
solid of build and solid Of feature; the
Arab merchant or peddler, come up from
the coast, and ever ready to cheat you;
Malays and Hiudoo coolies, who have
found their way from Natal; and the
ubiquitous Chinaman, who puts in an ap-
pearance everywhere in new countries
where there is livelihood to be picked
up by odd jobs. We have, too, on view
specimens of the Hebrew broker and OF
the stranded actor, shabby and discon-
ISOLATE. One meets, too, Kaffir ladies,
dressed more Or less after European
fashions in fnery of gorgeous hues;
while. of course, bushman hOusc-boys
arc seen everywhere, with occasionally
one or two wandering Ministries, who owe
their black faces to nature, not to burnt
cork. with their marimba or piano, a
species of instrument common to many
African tribes-really kind OF harmon
icon, strips of hard wood taking the
place OF glasses, with gourds beneath to
increase the resonance. The African
Ministries manage somehow to produce
tunes that, though quaint, are catching.

NAsTURTIUM.

What is brighter and more attractive
than a bed of trelhs of nasturtiums'
IF YOU wish to grow the plants in bed
tits necessary to get the Tom Thumb va
rieties. that do net grow over foot high.
II always seems TO US, however, that the
nasturtium's essential beauty lies In its
climbing habits, and that the new ny
brid dwarf varieties are not as attractive
as the vines. If the nasturtium seeds
are planted now in box OF sandy loan
and set in sunny window, aud trans
planted when the ground is settled, they
will begin to blossom early in the sum-
mer. If you visa abundance OF BIOS
SONS YOU must pick off a great many OF
the leaves and never allow any OF The
flowers to 90 to seed. A very beautiful
variety of flowers can be obtained by
planting "scarlet," dark maroon and
yellow nasturtiums together. They will
not always remain exactly as they were
planted, but the variety obtained IN
specimens blotched and. stripped with
the different shades is very attractive.
The leaves and some of the flowers OF
fhe nasturtium, mixed with large pro-
portion of lettuce, make a very accePta-
Bile salad. Ii you wish to raise the seed
vessels for pickles it is better to raise
the regular vegetable garden vines for
this purpose alone. The seeds OF the
new ornamental varieties are not any
better for pickles, and if the flowers are
allowed to drop and the seed vessels ma
ture it exhausts the vines 50 much that
thew do not give such an exuberant
wealth of bloom as they do when the
flowers are picked of as soon as they
fade.-Neo York Tribune.

FARM AND RogsssoLD.
CULTURE OF hops.

Hops require a rich, loamy soil. They
are grown from root cuttings which are
purchased of growers who thin out their
vines in the spring or of seedsmen who
deal in them. The roots are planted In
bills seven or eight feet apart each way,
three or four cuttings being put in each
hill, and pole driven into the ground
for the plants to climb upon. The land
should be we'll MANFRED and kept euIti-
waited and free from weeds; if any fer
tilizer is used it should be rich IN nitro
gen and potash with less amount Of
phosphoric acid. For an average yield
of 500 pounds of hops the usual allow
auce of these various elements is 12o
pounds of nitrogen, eighty-five pounds
of potash, and fifty pounds of phosphoric
acid. which will be furnished by 300
mounds of nitrate of soda, 200 pounds OF
chloride of potash, and 900 pounds of
superphosphate of lime, allowing for
the natural fertility of fairly good soil
This quantity should be given every
vear.-Ne,c York Times.

DRESSING THE NECK.

One OF the lessons that women learn
most slowly involves the advantageous
dressing of the neck We know what
an abomination to the eye is barred bony
and scrawny neck. Yet they are very
numerous and very conspicuous OH every
full-dress occasion. What these women
REQUIRE is a yard of beads, pendant
necklace, ruff Of fur, flowers or fringe,
or collar as near her car-holes as 1t can
be fitted. The lines which age first
draws around the throat can always be
concealed by a velvet collarettc to which
ANYTHING can be appliqued-beais, me-
dalions, miniatures, cuff buttons, flowers,
brooches and even rings. Then there
are passementerie bands in every width,
ieweled with medieval, Egyptian and
modern effects that are very pretty. Thc
Medici fiat collars, with their broidery of
mock gems, are not expensive, and, If
undesirable, scarf of diaphanous gauze
may be artiully arranged and pierced
with a iewel-handlcd dagger or quaint
ornament. The embroidered Canton

FNsIIAGE FOR HORSES.

Fnsilage is not considered wholesome
food for horses on account of its aptness
TO ferment in the stomach, and this is
dangerous in such small stomach as
that Of a horse. Even gre clover or
rye should be carefully used for f,eding
horses fresh and unfermented, but not
wet. Cows may be safely fed on ensi-
LACE, and will eat one cubic foot per day.
II any ensilage is fed at all to horse 1t
should be mixed one-half with dry hay
cut fine and without meal, whole grain
being fed at intervals. Two hundred
cubic feet of SpaCe, with One-half for
shrinkage. should be allowed in a silO
for each animal to be fed, and for a small
stock the silo should be one-third deeper
than it is wide. One seven by seven
should be ten feet deep. This is neces-
sary to enable the silage to be taken of
from the top as it is wanted.
One acre of small corn will make
about 400 cubic feet of silage, equal to
about eight tons. The corn should be
planted as if for grain, in rows three
feet apart, and with four grains at in
tervals of eighteen inches in the row.
This will give a large number of ears,
and when the grain is glazed the corn
nav be cut and shocked and partly dried
for two or three weeks, when it is in
better condition for the silo than if put
away when newly cut. IN small silO it
is necessary to pack away the ensilage
slowly, so that it has an opportunity to
heat up to 40 degrees, which destroys
the germs of fermentation and mold, and
thus keeps the ensilage from becoming
sour. This will require about three or
four days in the filing Care is to be
taken to pack the ensilagc firmly, cspe-
cially about the walls, and to cover the
top with hay for two or three feet.
