Possibilities of Sea Farming.

A study of the phenomena of marine
life, writes Mr.. George w. Field,
shows that the water as well as the
land, through cultivation, is capable
of producing a greatly increasing food
supply for man. The necessity of
cultivating the marine resources is
now apparent, and many govern
ments have already begun to cope
with the question by the establish
meut of commissions of fisheries. OF
these commissions that of the United
States stands in the front rank by
virtue of its positive results. But in
the near future individual attention
must be turned to supplementing the
terrestrial resources, the wheat fields,
the cattle and sheep ranches, by an
increasing utilization and develop
ment of the possibilities of marine
farming by fish propagation, by plan
tations of oysters, CLAIMS, quahaugs
scallops, by raising herds of Holsters
and crabs. Improved breed of fish, of
Holsters, will result. The possibilities
are well-nigh limitless; and by cult
walton of the sea and sea bottom as
well as of the land, man will postpone
indefinitely the fulfillment of the NAL
thusian prophecy.-Portland Tran
script.

1t is true that the toad has poison
GUS glands; these are found at the
back of the body and the limbs, and
in the ear region behind the eyes; but
the poison is not really communicable
except by incubation; and even then
the poison can only cause the death of
animals of small size. The toad is
not venomous to human beings unless
very roughly handled.

Precautions Wei to Observe.

In the New York Ledger we find
the following valuable suggestions:
"Please put those lemons into dish
of water and let them stay there ten or
fifteen minutes before you use them"
said a lady to the new housemaid, who
was getting ready to make lemon
pies.
The girl looked somewhat surprised,
and the lady continued:
II do not suppose that many people
stop to think about it, but the outside
of a lemon is anything but clean. IF
you will look at it you will see some
Tiny black specks like scales all over
it. These are the eggs OF an insect,
and if the lemon is not washed thew
are very likely to become an ingre-
dient of whatever dish the lemon is to
be used for. For years have made
the practice of cleaning all the lemons
| use with small scrub brush kept
for the purpose, then dropping them
into a dish of water, to remain for five
or ten minutes before using. 1t is
little trouble, but am very fond of
having things clean, especially the
things am expected TO eat"
Every housekeeper should make an
effort to familiarize herself with pure
food products, so as to be able to de-
tect the grosser authorizations. Ifcon-
sumers would make intelligent pro-
tests against inferior grades of food
products, there would be more hope
of keeping up the standard of quality.
No ice should be used in drinking
water. The best way is to boil the
water, put it in bottles, keep it closely
corked, and put it down the well or in
the ice-chest. Ice that is carried
around the streets in the open air is at
all times dangerous on account of pos
sible disease germs which may float
about in the atmosphere and lodge on
it.

The tendency of the Republican
party to enact and construe laws so
to allow the Government to take
absolute control of elections is very
forcibly shown in the circular of in
structions sent out by Attorney Gen
eral Miller to United States Marshals
and United States Attorneys in all
parts of the country. These officials
are encouraged to believe that their
powers are practically unlimited, and
to, consequently, run things to suit
themselves. But, of course, there is
no such thing as Force Bill contem-
plated, for Candidates Harrison and
Reid have said Sex.

Transactions in 1892 Burley.

Some few tranactions are reported
as occurring already in 1892 Burley
crop, prices so far reported ranging
from s TO l2B cent per pound, the latter
price being paid for large crop of
Woodford County (Ky) Leaf. If this
crop is way above the reported aver
age Gin COLOR of the 1892 crop the buy
ers might make some money on the
purchase, but il growers of average
crops set anything like such prices on
their Tobacco !here will either be few
transactions in 1892 crop, or the crop
is greatly misrepretented as TO cbarac-
ter There is undoubtedly some very
good Tobacco in the crop, and one
hogshead of this character brought
$3.50 in the Cincinnati market last
Thursday. 1t was very good in color.
