Mn. Cleveland has taken the bull by
the horns In New York and has public
ly declared that Edward Murphy, Jr.
the Troy brewer. 10 not the right kind
OF man to send to the United States
Senate to succeed Mr.. Hiscook. He
knows that In the Senate he has al
ready the opposltlon Of Mr.. Hill. New
York's senior Senator, and he does not
want two Senators from his own State
to antagonize him. His outspoken
opposition to Mr.. Murphy, has been
like throwing q fire-brand into the
Democratic camp, and the Hill Demo
Gratis are fighting what they call his
impertinent intermeddllnR about the
same as they would fight big fire
that threatened to devour them. There
seems to be no question that Mr.
Cleveland's action will precipitate 8
quarrel that will effectualiy rend the
Democratic party In New York.

Swearing, IT is presumed, came in
with the original man, for as Adam was
an agriculturist IT is not presumed that
he was free from the trials and troubles,
vexations and weaknesses Of other farm
ers. The old Greeks and Romans were
most proficient and picturesque swear
ers, and were accustomed to rattle up
their gods in the most finished style
when things weren't coming their way,
To speak colloquially, it was cold day
when the Olympian detties did not hear
their names taken in vain by the impa-
tient mortals who pursued their ordi,
nary duties or paved the way to classic
textbooks for future generations. This
reprehensible practice has prevailed in
the Latin countries to the present day
and the French woman says "mor
Dieu," and tho Italian on Spanish woman
swears by the sacred properties with al
little conjunction as 0ctavia or Corne

Juniata sentinel and Republican. [volume] (Mifflintown, Juniata County, Pa.) 1873-1955, 1892-01-13

A new vegetable is about to be intro.
duced to the people of the United
States through the department of agri-
culture. 1t is nothing more nor less
than the root of the Gala IIlv, which
resembles somewhat in appearance the
ordinary Irish tnber, with the addition
of n few whIskcrs that have nothing to
do with the case or with the Qualities
of the article as an esculent. However.
it is more elongated, and, when cut,
the interior is a trifie more viscid. But
q section of it is so potato-like that Won
would not be likely to distinguish any
difference. In cooking it has first to
be boiled, in order to destroy certain
acid properties, after which it may be
fried, roasted, baked or what not, ac-
cording to taste.
Farmers in Florida have begun to
raise these calla roots for market. The
plants grow readily in swamps, and SO
thickly that the yield of single flood
ed acre is enormous. They reproduce
themselves by the multiplication of
their bulbs under ground, 80 that the
grower has simply to dig up the off
shoots and leave the parents to propa-
gate anew. For centuries the Egyp-
tians have cultivated q similar crop
during the seasons of the Nile over
now, and at the present time calla lily
bulbs are common vegetable in
japanese markets. 80 prolific and pala-
table are they that their propagation
in many parts of the United States.
whore conditions are favorable. NAV
reasonably be looked forward to a. an
'AgricaltuEA industry sf the futuse

FLOWER NOTES

A handsome decoration made OF
Autumn leaves was recently shown In
florists window. 1t WAS fianked by
fine display of chrysanthemums on one
side willie upon the other were hand
some orchids 1t was tastily gotten up
and attracted much attention.
A very beautiful table decoration was
seen at dinner party not long ago.
The table cloth Was of hne linen Win
centre design of a wreath OF ferns, whlie
the border was of maiden halr ierhs.
The cloth was woven to order by
famous Belfast linen house.
In the middle of the table stood an
immense vase filled with rare and beau
tiful specimens of ferns, the immensely
tall fronds spreading over the table like
a verdant canopy through which the
lights shone in varied shadows. Every
dish was enclrcled bya wreath of ferns,
and the plate bouquets were OF ferns
and rose buds. The glass was all en-
graved in pretty fern patterns, and the
rose and gold tInts OF the China dinner
service added the bit of necessary
color.
Light and air, it has been ascertafned,
cause flowers to exhale their perfume,
while shutting off these agents makes
them to cease sending out their odors.
John Thorpe, the Chief of FlOricul-
ture says, the Exposition will advance
Horticulture in the United States, a.
least twenty-five years.
The English fashion of putting plants
on the tab. @ at meal times, says IicH' s
Magazine, Is now becoming very pop
ular. The Dixonia tree ferns are used
extensively, but they do not want to be
of high growth; they are considered
exceedingly good for the purpose be-
cause they do not obstruct the vision
of those opposite. ParraX Victoria Is
another shrub that Is very much used;
it is planted IN yellow maiolica pots
for table use; the leaf Is extremely
pretty, as it has a tiny white edge.
jasmine is now IN flower; this is a diff
cult flower to handle, but if it can be
kept perfect it is beautiful Canoes OF
OF birch bark are coming In, which
hold lilies s-of-the-valley; these are ex-
pensive, but very beautiful.
Old fashioned flowers are coming
into favor again with the residents oi
I the big cities; saws an exchange:
Orchids and rare roses now have
| rivals in the daisy, ''bschelors' but
tons," "hen and chickens" the colum
| bine, larkspur and hollyhock. 1t seems
quite appropriate for society leaders tC
welcome back the flowers OF their child
hood and glvo them the place they sc
well deserve.
