morning at $50 o'clock, of cancer,
aged SO years. He was born in Ger

country with his parents when seven
years of age, settling in Lancaster
Co, Pa. In 1880 his parents removed

came to this city, and has lived here
ever since. He built the first sash
factory in the county in company
with Mr.. Blakely, and subsequently
was in company with Mr.. Charles

late years, owing to increasing old
age and the diseae with which he was
afflicted he has not actively engaged
in business, and has lived rather re-
tired.

THE GROWTH OF PLANTS.
1t Is fastened by the Use of the Electric
Light.

1t Is Hastened by the Use of the Electric
Light.
Because the entire animal creation
gets tired and seeks periods of rest, it
has been popularity supposed that the
vegetable creation also gets tired in it's
efforts ut growth, and would be over
wrought were it not for the periodic
torpidlty which the darkness of night
brings upon it; hence it has been be-
lieved for ages that the growing prod
ucts of the vegetable kingdom require
periodic exemption from the stimulus
of sunlight. But experiments which
have been made in Europe and in this
country, notably at the Cornell Agri-
cultural station, show that this popular
belief has no foundation in fact
In these experiments variety of
plants has been kept under continuous
light for long periods, by turning on
electric lights from sundown to sunrise
The results of these experiments are re-
marliable. They show that periods of
darkness are not necessary to the
growth and development of plants; that
plants do not need rest at night in the
sense in which animals need rest; that
there is no such thing as plant hecom-
ing worn out or tired out in consequence
of the stimulating influence of continu-
GUS light.
Plants have a faculry-which some
writers call "the vegetable instinct
of making the best of their situation.
Within the temperate zones they have
simply adapted themselves to the con-
ditions of alternating light and dark
ness. During the day they assimilate
or make their food, and during the
night, when the process of assimilation
ic stopped, they use the food in growth.
But in the Arctic regions, where, dur
ing the prolonged days of summer,
plants are in almost continuous light,
they grow without periods of rest.
BY means of the varied and numer-
GUS experiments with electricity which
scientists have already made, it has
been discovered that if plants are kept
under continuous light, although the
process of assimilation is not stopped
the growth of the plant goes on even
more rapidly than it goes on in the
darkness of night, the electric light not
only promoting assimilation, but often
Fastening growth and maturity. 1t has
also been demonstrated that the cleo
tric light is capable of producing natural
flavors and colors in fruits, and that it
often intensities The colors and some
times increases the production of
flowers.
The scientific deduction from these
facts is that there is good reason for
supposing that the electric light can be
profitably used in horticulture as soon
as the details of its application shall be
practically wrought ont 1t is alleged
that the discoveries which have been
made and the results already achieved
strongly indicate that if the electric light
enables vegetables to assimilate during
the night and does not interfere with
growth it will ultimately produce
plants of great size and marked pre-
cocity.-N Y. Ledger.

Jellies and preserves should be kept
in dark, cool and dry closet. If you
have no dark closet wrap newspapers
about the preserve jars when they are
put away. Handle the jars carefully
when you have occasion to move them,
for it often happens that a mold forms
on the top of the fruit, which does not do
it any harm, but rather helps to protect
it, if not mixed in with it by careless ham
ding. When you are stinted in closet
room you can place strong sheets of
pasteboard-parts of old boXes-on the
top of one layer of tumblers of jelly or
jars of fruit, and set another low on
these. Before storing the jars in tho
closet wipe them carefully with Il wet
clio tn, Rinse this cloth frequently in
hot water 1t is wise plan, when
putting up jellies, to cover each tum-
bier with a round piece of plain white
paper, and then tic on thin layer of
cotton batting. Ladies' Home Journal.

Few housclSeepers seem to fully real
ize the great truth that one-half of the
success of meal rests in the manner
in which it is served. 1t is always
poor economy which begins Mt the
table. No matter how good the cdibles
may have been prepared, if they are
carclessly put on the table, without
any regard for taste, +hey are spoiled
for two-thirds of the guests. The best
and most deliciously prepared coffee
can be spoiled by the cup in which it
is served. A niclled plate has spoiled
many good piece of meat The half
wiped glasses that l have seen in some
boarding-houses quenched my thirst
more thoroughly than any quantity of
liquids. But for fear of burning my
self, l would rather have stirred my
tea with my fingers than with the half
worn plated spoon, with the metal
showing underneath the plate. The
most delicious Java, or the most fra
grant Oolong loses its flavor to hun
dreds of people when three-fourths of
it is served in the cup, and the other
fourth in the saucer. / would rather
go without bread than to eat slices
which have been cut in the kitchen

onions have been quartered. Ladies'

LoNDoN's FISH MARKET.
Bllllngsgate and Some of Its Queer Ian

Billlngsgate and Some OF Its Queer Lam
guage.
The word "Billingsgate" has, strange
ly enough, been transferred from the
place itself to the language spoken
there. For Webster says: The word
is from market of this name in Lon-
don, celebrated for fish and foul Ian
guage.' A visit to this renowned fish
market in these days VIII perhaps give
one better idea of the place than
Webster's explanation.
There is considerable slang and good
natured chatting among the buyers and
sellers, but one is not overwhelmed by
that torrent of foul language he has
been taught to expect from his associa-
tions with tho word. The best time TO
visit the market is on Friday morning.
Tie wooden, barn-looleing square,
where the fish is sold, is crowded soon
after 6 o'clock with shiny cord jackets
and greasy caps
Everybody comes to Billingsgate in
his worst clothes, and no one knows
the length of time a coat can be worn
the hum of voices are heard the shouts
of the salcsmen, who, with the white
aprons, pcering above the heads of the
mob, stand on the tables, roaring out
their prices. All are bawling together
statesmen and huckstcrs of provisions
hardware and newspapers-til the
place is u perfect Babel of competition.
