"While all rice is white" says a COM
mission merchant, "the size of the
grain varies greatly, according to the
locality where it is raised. Ihave seen
rice grains as fine as grains of mustard
almost, and again it is nearly as large
as beans. As for taste, it is I'll about
alike. but the amount of cooking de-
pends altogether on the size of the
grains. 1t takes an artist to cook rice
properly. You have noticed the occa-
sional black grains. Well, that is so
discolored by being overheated in the
process of milling"
If Connecticut peach growers have
really discovered a cure for the "vel-
lows" they can get good price for
the secret in Delaware. 1t is pretty
well demonstrated that unless the
progress of the disease be checked, the
growing of peaches on the Delaware
peninsula must cease within a few
years. The scientists at the Delaware
agricultural station have been study
ing the subject for several years past
with no very satisfactory results, and
have even permitted an odd wander
ing peach doctor to experiment with
cure of his own devising. Within tif-
teen years some millions of peach
trees have been uprooted in northern
Delaware, and the battling disease has
steadily travelled southwark with the
movement of the "peach belt," as the
strip Of peach-growing territory be-
tween Delaware and Chesapeake bays
are called.

r-atters That win Occupy the Atten-
tention of National solons.

WASHINGTON, April 4.-The house
will devote the greater part of this week
to the consideration of the tariff. To-
day Mr.. Wilson (West va.) will close
the general debate on the Democratic
side, and Mr.. Springer will move a vote
on the pending bill. 1t is expected that
the consideration of such amendments
as may be submitted will not occupy
more than two days. 1t is the desire of
the Democratic leaders to send the bill
to the senate on Wednesday at the lat
est. The binding twine bill will be
taken up upon the passage of the FREQ
wool bill, provided the house should not
decide to side track it for an appropria-
tion bill. 1t is altogether probable that
the members interested in measures on
the private calendar will make a strong
effort to secure the regular order on
Friday for that purpose. This the house
may defeat, as it is the plan of the man
ayers to hasten the consideration of the
tariff bills as rapidly as possible On
Saturday eulogies will be delivered in
memory of the late Melbourne II. Ford,
of Michigan. The prospect for silver
legislation in the house is decidedly
poor.
Inc senate has resolved to devote two
uninterrupted days during the coming
week to the consideration of bills on the
calendar. How far this intention will
be interfered with by the debating
school" on the silver question, as Mr..
Sherman terms the prospective debate
on the Morgan resolution, remains to be
seen. Appropriation bills also have to
be taken into consideration. They have
the right of way at any time. MIR.
Dawes wants another vote on the ques-
tion of authorizing the president to ap-
point army officers as Indian agents.
That passed the senate, with discre-
tionary modification, when there was
barely a quorum in attendance. Mr..
Dawes hopes to secure the compulsory
retention of civilian agents, as at pres
ent, if he can get the question before a
full senate.

A Ghastly Punishment.

WALDRoN, Ark, April A negro
assaulted Mrs. Henry Carson at Green
ridge, about six miles east eff this city,
and posse at once went hunting for
him. A negro answering the descrip-
tion was captured on the Fourche la
Fave river, south of here. He bore the
marks of Mrs. Carson's teeth, where she
had bitten his hand in her struggle. He
showed fight, but was soon overpowered.
Mrs. Carson positively identified him.
A rope was then placed around the ne
gro's neck and the other end tied to a
wild horse, which was turned loose with
a pack of lighted fire crackers fas-
tened to his tail. The maddened ami
NAL went tearing throughout the coun-
try, dragging his ghastly load until it
was distigured beyond all semblanlA of
