THE USEFUL SUNFLOWER.
 Anybody who has seen the sunf1owers of Kansas, or who knows anything about sunflowers, will be interested in the sug- gestion that we can learn something from Russian concerning the usefulness of the sunfower. In the empire of the Czsr 750,- 900 acres are annually planted with it. Two kinds there are chiefy-one which bears small seeds used for making oil, while the other produces big seeds, which are consumed in enormous quantities by the common people in the same way that peanuts are eaten here, except that they are devoured raw. There is hardly an other plant in the world which serves go many uses, every part of it being valuable for one purpose or another. The oil is 30 nutritious and agreeable in flavor that in Russia it has to certain extent superseded all other vegetable oils. It is obtained by passing the seeds beneath millstones, 80 as to crush the shells, sitting them to separate the kernels, and finally pressing the latter in bags of horsehair cloth. The cakes left after the oil has been expressed are excel lent food for cattle. The shells are em- ployed for heating, special ovens being made to burn them in, while the stalks have almost replaced frewood, being gath cred and dried in stacks in the fields. A ton of the latter is obtained from each acre cultivated. They make a very hot and quick fire. The seed cups are utilized as food for sheep. A big one when ripe will yield 2,000 seeds. An acre planted with sunfowers yields 2,O00 pounds of seeds, from which 250 pounds of oil may be obtained. Ten million quarts of this oil are produced by Russian mills.
 The Russians may learn to appreciate our corn, and it is evident that we might we'll pay some attention to their use of the sum- flower

Theagricultural departm ent isn't as fua ny as it used to be. In the face of repeated failures the department has not been dis couraged, but has year after year continued its Investigations until now it is said that 6 process has been discovered whereby sor. ghum will yield double the amount of sugar that could be obtained from it, thus insuring it's profitable culture in thi. country. The department has also dis covered forage grass that will flourish without irrigation even in arid regions, which will be of enormous benefit, it is ex- pected, in retaining such regions in the west, heretofore perfectly valueless.
 What is Man, and also what is Woman, In Paris no fewer than 4, 1000 women are caught every year stealing before the counter. The number of titled ladies seized with kleptomania while examining the fashions is almost incredible. Among the most recent culprits were a Russian princess, French countess, an English duchess and the daughter of a reigning sovereign. As rule, these more distin- guished offenders are let off on the pay. ment of a round sum for the relief of the poor, and when the shoplifter is known to be rich the sum exacted rises to as much as 10, ,000 francs. The police authorities consent to this sort of conformation.
 People who live in civilized countries don't hear much about Afghanistan, but there is good deal going on in that coun- try. MT. T. s. Pyne, an Englishman, who has been serving the Amir of Afghanistan, gives some interesting information con- cerning the country. MT. Pyne was or dered first of all to establith mint, and very soon succeeded in putting into circu- lation 8 neatly coined rupee and other coins. He next began a cartridge factory, and this, too, was speedily placed in a sat isfactory working order, 80 that the Af- ghan workmen are now turning out 1000 cartridges day, while their maximum dai. ly output is placed at 10000. Then came a rife factory, and, although the work people had been accustomed to rely on their hands alone, and to be entirely indepen- dent of anything like steam machinery, they very soon learned to appreciate the value of modern inventions, and are now turning out excellent specimens of the smaller kinds of firearms. The Afghans are apt scholars, and 8 little while ago half-a-dozen of them made a small steam engine, with which the Amir was greatly pleased. Of that potentate himself MT Pyne says: ''I think it would be hard to find more thoroughly courteous ruler, or one who is more ready to do everything in his power to develop his country. can not speak too highly of him."

 "More" is just what the sanitarians want. Last week a friend asked me to inspect his new house. He told me the plumbing had cost nine hundred dollars, and also stated that before our new plumbing law went into operation the job could have been done for four hun dred dollars. But, like a wise man, he seemed contented to pay the extra price in order to have the work done in a "scientifc" manner. Says he: Hook at that scientific vent pipe between the sew. CT and the house. That keeps the sewer gas out of the house and carries the bsc- teria as high as the ridge of the roof"
 l asked him what became of the bacte- ria after they came out of the pipe, and be replied that he supposed they flow of into the clouds. told him he little knew the habits of those willy animals, and as proof thereof asked him to put piece of board four inches square on his window sill over night and then cover it up and bring it to my laboratory. He did so and with my sanitary microscope I counted just 21 900 microbes that had settled down from the vent pipe, and were roasting on that board ready to jump into the house as soon as the window was opened Of course my friend at once agreed with me that more laws were needed to subdue these persistent bacteria.
 Your paper recently stated that there were 600, ,000, 900 bacteria in a quart of milk. I have no doubt that is the correct count. But what worries me is this: There is no doubt that the scientist who counted those millions either got an office or had his salary raised as 8 reward for his valuable labors. This is the way with every ssnitsrisn but myself. They all get in the swim. But no matter how great my tolls nor how startling my discoverie., no office is given to me, and am still forced to toll on in bitter want
 This pathetic situation reminds me of a refrain in a negro minstrel song:
 'fWe are rolling, rolling, rolling;
 We arc rolling through an ungrateful world; Oh, we are rolling, rolling, rolling
 Through an ungrateful world"
 am unable to account for the public neglect of my claims to sanitary salary except on the theory that my excessive modesty keeps me in the background. But even this does not fully explain it, be- cause modesty is 8 disease with which most sanitarisns are badly broken out with. In fact am sometimes tempted to exclaim: What is the use of being san itarian anyway is you can't make any thing out of it

AN OLD SANIrARIAN.
Tyler sfty.


 To the Editor Of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 The learned historian of last Sundays Register who forcibly reminds me of Rip Van Wrinkle and his twenty years sleep evidently has not been over the little Derby since and therefore it might be well to give him few points and perhaps he will take another ride. We'll, if he does, we shall be glad to SO see him and try to make things more agreeable than they were twenty years ago. Yet if he was at a nice ride that didn't cost him anything. The little Derby carried out 1,2O0 people and two trains and though it was all up hill one of the trains ran out in seven minutes. We'll, it is just as much up hill as ever. Tyler City lies from 150 to 200 feet above New Haven, from the rolling ground of which some thirty or forty miles of Long Island and the Sound is seen with many other most charming views. Should he feel like taking another ride be careful what train you take, because the little Derby has since become a part of the great Housatonic railroad and one of the main highways to the great West, with some twenty-eight trains daily passing through Tyler City. Some difference since you was there. I am sorry he should have made the mistake of supposing there were lakes in Tyler City. There never were any and we did not advertise any such thing There were and are to-day fine streams running through Tyler City, from one of which many trout have been taken. There ora all ofrw fo- o1o A. .-r-u in which are mineral springs. The fine, broad avenues and streets, named after New haven gentlemen and not for out siders, that he speaks of are still there. There were no houses then. Many fine houses have since been built-a depot building, in which Is the postofice, two mails daily, and last but not least fine two-story brick factory building, full handed, running full time. All the houses are occupied except a fine, large house belonging to the state school fund former ly used as the county home for young children, which no doubt would be occu- pied if it was put in order. As it is, it is not fit to occupy. Many other houses might be occupied by mechanics and oth- CTS, who go to and from New Haven daily, an opportunity seldom to be found where capitalists can put their money at good in terest. Before another year rolls round several shops are likely to locate in Tyler City and consequently many houses be required for the help tell you, MT. Editor, many Rip Van Winckles will yet wake up and be sorry they went to sleep. But enough for the present. Samuel Hslliwell does not crave or desire all the praise in reference to Tyler City so literally bestowed by the Registers historian. The henor is more justly due to several others. Neverthe. less, Samuel Halliwell has not gone to sleep. Tyler City lives and the boom is on it. SAMUEL HALLIwELL.

So IL Is True.

Here's a friend who says that sorrow Comes to-day or comes tomorrow;
 Here's a longface who is moaning. Tell him death is far away! Let dull age go weep and pray;
 Heed not grief, the ghost there, grooming, Who would cloud the jocund dayl Ah, they say that anguish found them, Men cut down with battl. round them
 Clear the boys there gayly singingD In some region far away! Wh 1t care we who laugh today
 Bring no tears, whate'er you're bringing; Honor to the jocund day! What's that sound that cools our laughter. What's that form that follows after?
 Funeral music sadly sounded One more man is turned to clay. Let dull age go weep and pray!
 Youth by death was ne'er confounded- Long shall shne our jocund day! Oh, my dear one, to my weeping Marble silence sternly keeping,
 Lying there in breathless blindness,
 Death is never far away. Even youth can weep and pray
 Lips that loved have lost their kindness: Dead are they this bitter day!
