Autumn Care OF Roses.

At this season there is but little to be done
among outdoor roses, except to give the
usual attention TO cultivation and wa
tering, the latter being of no value unless
done thoroughly, while the cultivation is
especially necessary during dry westherl
As the nights become cooler the teas will.
produce bsttsr howerE but it should always
be remembered that outdoor flowers, as
well as those grown under glass, will be
much improved by being cut early in the
morning and Immediately placed in water
This method improves both the sizs and
color of the flowers. besides making them
more durable. Hybrids for early forcing
will now be ripening their growth, and will
naturally need less water in order TO hurry
this process, for il will be remembered that
the earlist crops require much more time
for their development than those that more
nearly approach the natural Towering sea-
son.
The most serious pest the rose grower of
the present day has to contend with ap-
pears to be the nernstoies, or eel worm, to
which frequent reference hss been made
during the past year in horticultural jour
mails. Unfortunately, no specific has thus
far been discovered for this pest, the vari-
Gus so called remedies having sll failed un-
der the careful tests of specialists The
mosts reasonable suggestion that has been
offered for their destruction is that of bak-
ing or cooking the soil before placing it in
the rose beds; but this is an operation of
considerable magnitude even in q small es-
tsblishment. and where roses are largely
grown it becomes q formidable undertak-
ing. 1t has been suggested that portable
oven of large size and heated by means of
steam pipes would solve the difficulty; but
the expense of such an arrangement would
work against it In many establishments, ,es-
pecially in those in which the present heat
ing apparatus is not suitable for such pur-

A TELLING SPEECH.

These are the days (and nights of politi-
cal speeches. And, to tell the truth, many
of the speeches are somewhat pointless and
tiresome. Occasionally, however. a man
who knows how to put things will make a
speech which is we'll worth hearing and re-
membering. For instance, the selling
agent for the Jewell Betting company of
Hartford made a little speech the other
day mounted on pile of packing cases
filled with belts and marked for Cuba,
which was, in brief, to the effect that the
pile of cases beneath him. containing over
a mile of betting, was simply one of a
large and increasing lot going out to Cuba
and Mexico and other countries south of
us, and that the sending of the belts that
way WAS the work of the reciprocity clause
of the Mckinley bill, nothing of the sort
having been possible before that. He also
noted that the result of this increased bust
ness in that one factory had been an in
crease in the number of men given steady
employment from 1874 to 161.
This is to the point. 1t shows what the
Republican policy has done for one bust
ness right here in Connecticut. And there
are hundreds of such instances in this
State. What does Connecticut want of a
party that did it's best to defeat the
Mckinley bill and thus deprive the indus
tries of this State of the benefits sure to
come from that bill? And what does this
(the Second) congressional district want Of
that party's nominee for congresss Does
it want to send representative to Wash
ington commissioned to attack its business
interests?

INDUCED SURGINGS.

When the gentlemsnly lightning rod
man comes around with his handsome
wagon and his glib tongue he hath much
to say about the danger from lightning
and much to say about tho efficacy of
what he has to sell. He can't very well
be disputed, for everybody knows that
lightning is dangerous and everybody
knows that some buildings with lightning
rods on have not been struck. But most
people who buy lightning rods are not
quite sure that they will do what the gen.
tlemanly advance agent says they will.
And even the scientific people who
know everything say that in order
to protect building from light
ming with lightning rod you must
have the right kind of rod, and then they
differ about what is the right kind. Those
who are already mixed up on this i'm
portant question will not be unmixed by
the latest scientific utterance concern
ing it, which is to the effect that no matter
what kind of rod you may have on your
house you may suffer from 'fnduced surg
ings." Alexander McAdie says: We have
instanced several cases where edifces
seemingly amply protected have been
struck below the rods (not to be con-
founded with cases of defective rods, etc.,; {;
and it is now becoming plain to us how
(paradox of paradoxes) a building may be
seriously damaged by lightning without
having been struck at all. Take
| the famous Hotel de Vile of Brussels,
so well protected by Nelson's method
we might add perhaps, the best pro,
tected building in the world-agains'
| lightning, and yet it was damaged by fire
caused by an induced spark near escaping
gas. During the thunderstorm some one
fash started up "surgings" in piece oi
metal not connected in any way with the
protective train of metal. The building
probably "did not receive" says DR.
Lodge, seven side fash, yet the induced
surgings set up in it, induced by Maxwell
and Heaviside's electromagnetic waves, wer
so violent as to ignite some gas and caus
| small fire."
Induced surgings" sounds all right
The gentlemanly advance agent with tn
attractive looking wagon must study thi
matter. We want to be protected agains
"induced surgings" as we'll as sgains
knock out strokes.

Freaks of Lightning.
from Chambers journal.

The Etruscans of old believed in three
kinds of lightning-one incapable of doing
any injury; another more mischievous in
it's character, and consequently only to be
issued with the consent of a quorum of
twelve gods; and third carrying mischief
in its train, and for which regular de-
cree was required from the highest divin-
tiles in the Etruscsn skies. Curiously
enough, modern scientists, following the
lead taken by Arsgo, have also decreed
that the varieties of lightning are three
fold. The first comprehends that in which
the discharge appears like long, lumin-
ous line, bent into angles and zigzags, and
VARYING in complexion from white to blue,
purple or red. This kind is known as
forked lightning, because it sometimes di-
yides into two or more branches before
| reaching the earth. The second differs
from the first in the range Of surface over
which the flash is diffused. From this
circumstance the discharge is designated
sheet-lightning. The third class differ so
widely from the more ordinary manifesto
tions that many meteorologists have de-
MED their right to be treated as legitimate
liehtnings. They neither assume the form
Of long lines on the one hand nor sheets
of flame on the other, but exhibit them
selves as balls or globular Jumps of fire.
A very singular story is told concerning
the vagaries of one mass of globe light
ming. A tailor in the Rue st. jacques, in
the neighborhood of the Val de Grace, wai
getting his dinner one day during thun
| 5ar-storm. when he heard loud clap and

with N. Rabbinet of the Academic dei
Sciences, said it looked like good-sizei
Kitten rolled up into ball and moving
without showing its paws. 1t was brigh
and shining, yet he felt no sensation o

Some Startling Discoveries In Domes-

tic Economy.
[From ths London journal of Education.l
The following notes on domestic econo-
my are selected from the answers given at
a recent examination of girls between
twelve and sixteen years of age:
"Cheese is as wholesome as eight and a
half pounds of bsef. Beef is a useful ar
ticle of food obtained from different ami
mails, such as the cow, sheep, pig, ETC.
the lean of beef belongs to the animal
kingdom, and the fat to the vegetable
kingdom. Butter is good for the brain.
Milk is called model food because it mod
els the form of the child. Without eating
potatoes we would become very delicate,
because potatoes are very necessary to
sustain human life. Stewing is very diff
ferent from boiling; when we want a nice
dinner we stew roast of beef. Pot-su
feu is mashed-up meat. Cretins are gene
rally served up with green-pea soup. If a
man lives without food for a considerable
time, say sixty days, he will die at the end
of month; or if the constitution is deli
cate, he may only live for week or less.
The body wastes away by the continual
working of the bones together, and as this
process goes on every day the bones get
thinner aud smaller. Carbonsceous foods
give the bones the elasticity of which they
consist.
Lawn is a soft stuff made from the
wool of the lawn, an animal in South
America. 1t is also part of the flesh of
the cow or sheep, the rib part. Shoddy is
drink made from mixture of ale and
sugar. 1t is the leather before it goes
through the process of making into boots
and shoes, and for this reason is called
shoddy. 1t is the flesh near the foot of
any animal 1t is kind of whiskey.
Wincey is the wool off an animal which
lives in America; the lamen is its name.
Calico is good heat conductor, because it
catches FIRE very easily. If a print dress
is dried outside it must be careful not to
be left in the sun. Calendered means
turned from one kind of species into an
other. 1t is things which are the shape of
calender, like our bodies. 1t means pre-
served with sugar. 1t means taking the
dirt out of water. 1t means increased or
getting heavier. 1t is medicine or drug
1t is boiling anything by means of steam.
1t means chewing the food well to make it
fit to enter the body. It means the sum
of a whole for a certain period of time"

new order he is trying to start was revealed
to him by light from heaven" Good for
Somerby. If he had taken as much pains
to find out what heaven wanted sooner the
order might not have been in the condition
it is in.
The painful rumor which was afoat in
Boston that the Old South association was
ready to sell the old meeting house for
business purposes and allow it to be torn
down or moved back, is Indignantly de-
MED. The associations trustees hope soon
to have the building free from all in
cumbrances, and promise that it ehall be
preserved to the people SO long as one
stone shall rest upon another. Which is
just as it should be.
More robber tariff. In the year which
ended June 80, 1891, we imported 5,400,-
900 bushels of potatoes, although there
was duty of 10 cents per bushel on them.
In the year ending June 80, 1892, the i'm
ports had shrunk to 1877, ITO bushels owing
to the increased production by our home
farmers who thus found a market for over
5000, 900 bushels of potatoes at home,
beside answering a demand for nearly
1,000,00 bushels more, for market
opened under the reciprocity clause of the
Mckinley bill.
Connecticut has an interest in what has
been done in Massachusetts, concerning
deserted farms. About year ago the
Massachusetts State Board of Agriculture
sent out catalogue of more than 300 farms
in that State which had been abandoned
by their owners. The idea was to find if
possible purchasers for these neglected
acres and so do something for the waning
districts of the commonwealth. Two edi-
tions of this catalogue were quickly re-
quired to satisfy the demand for it and a
third has recently been issued, together
with a list of all those farms which have
been sold since the fret was published.
This is the interesting feature of the last
edition. 1t shows that about one hundred
replies have been received from owners of
farms regarding their success during the
year in disposing of their lands, and that
in twenty five instances out of the hundred
a purchaser has been found.

to prevent it touching him-steered to-
wards a hole in the chimney above the
mautelpiece, and made its way into the
fue. f'Shortly afterwards, when / sup
posed 1t had had time to reach the top"
the tailor said, "there was a terrible ex-
plosion, which destroyed the upper part
of the chimney and threw the fragments
on to the roofs of some adjoining build
ings, which they broke through" In the
forest of Nemours tree was once struck;
two pieces were rent from its trunk; the
smaller was tossed to distance of fifty
feet, and the larger, which eighteen men
feet or so in an opposite tack. In 1888
the topgallant-mast of her majesty's ship
Rodney was hit by flash and literally cut
up into chips, the sea being strewn with
the fragments as If the carpenters had
been sweeping their shavings overheard.
Shortly before the top-masts of her ma
jesty's ship Hyacinth had suffered in a
similar manner; and when the Thetis un-
derwent a like visitation in Rio Harbor,
Captain Fitzroy described the foretop-mast
ss ga mere collection of long splinters, al
most like reeds"
These are few of the examples of the
mechanical effects of lightning. 1t works
chemically as well. 1t has the power of
developing peculiar odor, which has been
variously compared to that of phosphorus,
nitrous gas and most frequently burning
sulphur. Wafer mentions storm on the
Isthmus of Darien which diffused such a
sulphurous stencil through the atmosphere
that he and his marauding companions
could scarcely draw their breath, particu
larly when they plunged into the wood.
The magnetic effects produced are often
very curious. A chest containing a large
assortment of knives, forks and other cut
lery was, not many years ago, struck in
the house of a Wakefield tradesman, and
magnetism impaired to the whole of the
articles. Arago. in his Meteorological Es-
says" speaks of q shoemaker in Swabia
whose tools were thus treated, to his inde-
scribsble annoyance. "He had to be con-
stantly freeing his hammer. pincers and
knife from his nails, needles and avis,
which wers constantly getting caught by
them as they lay together on the bench"
The same authority knew of Genoese
ship which was wrecked near Algiers in
consequence of some pranks played by
lightning among the compasses, the cap
tain innocently supposing that he was sail
ing towards the north, when, as matter
of fact, he was steering due south.
