GERMANY WANTS HER SUGAR TO

WASHINGTON, Oct. 70. "A report was pub
lished this morning to the effect that a
convention had been concluded with Ger
many by which the cereal products Of the
United States would be admitted free of
duty, etc. The negotiations for some time
have been in progress between the two
governments with view on the part of
Germany to secure continued free admis.
sion of her sugar into this country, i'll re
turn for certain concessions Of customs
duty to be extended by Germany to Amer
ican products of various descriptions. Tt
ID learned, however, that these negotiations
are still uncompleted. The stage Of pro
gress is that there are good prospects being
brought Of satisfactory conclusion before
the first Of next January, when the presi-
dent will possess the power to issue a pro
clamation imposing duties conditional
levied by the tariff act of October !, 1880,
upon all sugars imported from any coun-
try, than is imposed duties upon agricul.-
tural or other products Of the United
States, which, i'll his judgment is not re-
ciprocally equal and reasonable.

Two state Treasurers.s

HARTFORD, Conn, Oct 12.-The treasu.
rer and comptroller are required by law to
meet today in the treasurePs office TO fix
the value of nonresident stock in banks
and insurance companies for taxation.
This morning Comptroller Staub (demo-
crat,) appeared, accompanied by M. FL.
as the late election. The treasurer's office
is still occupied by Henry the republican
holdover. Sanger was refused admission
as treasurer, but was told he could enter as
citizen. He and the comptroller then
met as board outside Of the treasurer's
office, and adjourned till two o'clock to
meet III the comptroller's office This ac-
ton is likely to complicate the collection Of
the yearly state taxes.

Water as a Medicine,

The human body is constantly under
going tissue change. Worn out parti-
cles are cast aside aud eliminated from
the system, while the new are ever being
formed, from the inception of life to its
close
Water has the power OF increasing
these tissue changes, which multiply the
waste products, but at the same time
they are renewed by its agency, giving
rise TO increased appetite, which in turn
provides fresh nutriment. Persons but
little accustomed to drink water are
liable TO have the waste products formed
faster than they are removed. ANY obstruc-
ticn to the free working of natural laws
at once produces disease, which if once
firmly seated, requires both time aud
money TO cure.
People accustomed TO rise in the morn
l1g weak and languid will find the cause
in the imperfect secretion Of wastes,
which many times may be remedied by
drinking full tumbler Of water before
retiring, This very materially assists in
the process during the night, and leaves
the tissues fresh and strong, ready iol
the active work OF the day.
Hot water is one of our hest remedial
agents. - Boston Cnitiea!9r.

Queen Ylctorla's Old COOk.

One Of Queen Victoris's most lovd5ie
traits of character is her kindue;; 70 her
servants. Among those who visited Her
Majesty during her stay in France las
spring was NJ. Trasteur, who for a quarter
Of a century filled the post Of head cook
at Windsor Castle. About twelve years
ago he resigned his Office aud withdrew
to Cole. little village in the vicinity
Of Grasse. A few DAYS after the queen
arrival at the latter place ne called at
her hotel. Being informed Of his pres
encc Her Majesty summoned him to her
apartments aud received him with the
utmost kindness, going SO far as to even
insist on his sitting down by her side
an honor rarely conferred upon the high
est mobiles and dignitaries of her empire
while she chatted with him at consid-
cradle length, referring several times to
his long and honorable career in her
service, NJ. Trasteur is in receipt Of
handsome pension from the royal civil
list-a pension amounting to more than
twice the amount of that granted to
generals s, admirals or literary celebrities
for distinguished services to the Grown.

AMOUNT OF CHEESE IN MILK.

The amount of cheese which can be
made from milk will vary somewhat &C.
cording to the breed Of cattle. quality of
food, and method of handling the milk.
In other words, it will vary with the
amount of solid matter in the milk.
The old rule for estimating used TO be
about nine pounds of milk to one pound
Of cheese as it came from the press. and
this would shrink in curing at least ten
per cent, so that ninety pounds OF milk
would give ten pounds Of cheese at the
press, which would be nine pounds when
hit to send TO market, and 81 pounds
when old and we'll ripened, Probably
this is fair estimate of the average
product when the milk comes up to the
standard Of thirteen per cent. solids.
With cheese, as with butter, it usually
requires more pounds of milk to the
pound of product when the cows arc
fresh in milk, or when giving fresh
yield upon good grass feed, than when
they are giving less milk. A very wet
season and rank growing grass also re-
duces the per centage Of solids in the
milk.-B9ston Cultivotoy.

Differences in Male and Female Eyes

Ernst Curtius, the renowned Greek
scholar aud archeOlogist Of the Univers.
ity Of Berlin, has made an interesting
discovery regarding the knowledge Of
the Greek sculptOrs. During the exam
ination Of number Of heads found in
Greece, Curtius devoted much time to a
study Of the eye. Ga extending his OF.
servations to the eyes Of perfect figures
from the classical period lie learned that
the sculptors made considerable differ.
euce in the forms of the male and female
eyes, While the eyes OF the male were
rouuder aud more arched, those Of the
females were longer and fatter. These
observations agree with the measurements
of anatonlists to-day. The discovery
that the Greeks were aware OF this dit
ference also will be valuable in determin
ing the identity OF many heads in the
museums Of the world In numerous
cases it has been impossible to say
whether the heads have belonged to
statues of men or statues Of women.
Professor CurtiuS will soon publish an
accurate account of his observations. -

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD,
WOOD ASHES AS A FERTILIZER.

The use of wood ashes AS fertilizer
should be more generally understood.
Hardwood ashes are much richer in
potash than soft wood ashes and are rel.
atively more valuable. Leached wood
ashes are hardly worth more than the
labor Of spreading on the land as a rule,
but on light sandy soil they have a
tendency to compact, which Is an aid to
its physical condition, but it docs not
act as manure. Unbleached wood
ashes is almost special fertilizer for all
fruit crops and only needs the addition
of a little heterogeneous material to make
it complete. They should never be
mixed with such heterogeneous manureS as
hen manure and other animal excrements
for they start chemical action in conse-
Quence, the nitrogen is thrown off in the
form of ammonia and is wasted. I'm.
bleached ashes form often a cheap source
Of potash. -NeW York World.

GRAVEYARD INSURANCE.
