Eacc;nr Cranes.

People often asi. what is the use of the
abstract studies scientific men and wom-
en- often indulge in. The reply is you
must first discover a new truth before
you can tell whether you can make any
value of it. The valuable discovery
that the black rot can be prevented from
injuring grapes by inclosing the bunch
in paper bag is the direct result Of
scien3ifc studies.
: When it was found that the rot was
caused by fungus growing from q lit
tie seed or spore which, floating through
the atmosphere, attaches itself to the
grape berry. it was the easiest thing to
think of putting bags over the bunch
early in the season so that the spore
couldn't get there. Hundreds Of thou
sands of dollars have been saved to the
cultivator by this bagging of grapes
which would have been totally lost but
for the labors Of scientific men.-Mee-
hans Monthly.

PAY ENOUGH!

Some people are too anxious to save
when buying wat III. thinking that
a cheap one will do as well as a good
watch, and that all the differences in
watches is in the price. May be it
requires a moral effort on your part
to pay us $1,000 for a plain looking
but honest time-kesper, when some
body else generously offers you
gold watch for $3.50 and-just for
goodness sake-throwsi in q gold chain
and charm. Of course it is all
tame schwindel," as the Jew said
when he went up in q balloon and
couldn't find the silver lining OF the
cloud. 1t happens every now and
then that person sends off for such
a gold watch, gets it, and then loses
faith in watches and humanity for
ever and ever and ever. We think 1T
would pay you to call on us and see
if we have what you want, and if we
can't suit you, at all, out of large
stock Of fine watches, why-it is time
enough then to send out of town for
q $3.50 gold watch.

Queer People and Customs In our own
Land.


Queer People and Customs In Our, own
Land.
II shall not soon forget a hunting ex-
cursion made through southern Indi-.
ana, said Prof. John Francis to a re-
porter for the Chicago Evening News.
NOf all the queer people and funny
sights I met the queerest there. We
were travelling by carriage over what
the citizens called the backbones of
White river. would call them immense
ridges, with scarcely room for a wagon
road on top and occasionally house
on. either side. No, not q house, but a
shanty. We had been travelling over
these ridges or 'backboness for several
hours and became very thirsty, but
could not see the sign of spring any,
where. We at last drove up in front of
one of these shanties. T alighted from
the wagon, stepped to the door to
knock, but before did so noticed the
contents of the room. A table with the,
remains of meal was standing in the
middle of the floor; baby shoes, buck
cts, spools, tin cans and various other.
objects were scattered over the floor
In fact, the room presented the appear
ance of a secondhand store after
fire. In answer to my knock some
one in the rear of the house called:
Come M came in,' or at least
tried to. When reached the door,
at the opposite side of the room
and looked out 1 saw piled on a half
finished porch several straw beds and
upon th, beds was piled the entire
fBmily, taking an afternoon sun bath.
Immediately upon seeing me young
woman arose to her feet and said:
what do you want?' told her that
would like to find some drinking water.
for myself and friends. She did not say.
q word LIt came toward me, brushed
by me through the door and with a re-.
markable agility dodged between that
heterogeneous, mass ON the floor to- the
other side of the room whore hung a
gourd dippeF She handed it to me,
with the remark: Jist go down under
the hill and help yerself, but don't fur
git to bring, back the gouPd.' 1 did as
requested and found delicious water.
Upon going a little farther on the road
we saw another shanty. Presently, as
we came near it, we saw a small boy
come running around the corner of the
shanty, after him came another and
another until six had passed, when a
hrge woman put in an appearance with
raised club in her hands. 1t was a
thoroughly comicaf sight, but immedi-
ately on seeing US the woman dropped
the club, which fell on pet pig stand
ing near and made it squeal for dear
life. One Of the little girls grabbed the
pig in her arm and after stroking it and
kissing it placed it in box which con-
tained straw as tenderly as though she
had been some fashionable miss hall.;.

The record-union. [volume] (Sacramento, Calif.) 1891-1903, 1892-04-23

ALL the reports from the interior of the
State indicate that it is the wish of the
people of his party that President Harri-
son shall be renominated by the Mime
apolis Convention. The local delegations
from each section ought, therefore, to Be
sent up to the State Convention fully in
structed to so act as will give expression
in the National Convention to this ex-
press wish of the people. The California
delegation should be sent on with en-
phatic instruction on that point. 1t will
thus be made the voice of the party in
California, and hence make California a
greatly more potent factor in the national
body. The delegation should not go on
to Minneapolis with the vote of California
in its pocket, to be traded and dickered,
or to be used to advance the political
schemes of any one in California. Let
the State Convention speak out upon this
subject with boldness, and the result will
be to aid the candidacy of General Harri-
son, who has given the republic safe,
patriotic, economic and clearly Admins
tration.

lican party, under The renaHlsnation of
General Harrison, who goes into the
campaign with the record OF a clean, con-
sentative, patriotic and intellectual ad-
ministration.
The New York SUMS. assumption that
David b. Hill is the only, sole, and
slmon-pure authorized candidate for the
Democratic nomination is bit of bragg
gadocio that is exciting the laughter of
such old-time Democratic papers as the
Cleveland Ptaindeatcr, Memphis Apa-
tanche and Atlanta Journal They fairly
roar over the stupendous joke that is in
tended for seriousness by the Sun and
other papers holding with it, that Mr..
Hill, in declining, withdrew only his
personality, but that his craftsmanship,
democracy and patriotic serviceabiGty
remain for the Democracy to put before
the people," Such twaddle is idiotic and
nauseating; one must either laugh at it as
the PldindeGler does, or sicken over it as
does the Charleston Nea0s and Courier.
Mr.. Hill will find that the overnight
stand show candidates, who go about with
drum and cymbals, are not much ad-
mired by the American people, no matter
what their political stripe, and that the
Democrats have sense enough to know it,
must be assumed. If it be true, as sug-
gested by New York paper, that Mr.
Hill has really no hope except to defeat
Mr.. Cleveland for the nomination, or his
election in case the latter is nominated,
he will expose to public gaze the greatest
and richest example of political envy and
jealousy of which the country's history
bears any record. That he will make the
exhibition seems altogether likely, to
judge from the vituperative bitterness of
expression in which papers indulge that
are laboring in his interest, and which he
can silence, but does not

SENATOR HILL TO THE FORE
AGAIN.

Notwithstanding Mr.. Hill's clear, en-
phatic declaration that he is convinced
he would be defeated if nominated. and
therefore he would not allow his name to
be presented to the Democratic National
Convention, there are influences at work
to make him a candidate. The RECORD
UNION expressed doubt of the sincerity
of Senator Hills withdrawal at the time.
and is convinced now that it was trick.
He is a politician of the machine order.
and as such knows ali the subtle methods
that may be employed to make candi-
date strong. Assumption of modesty and
candor are in the category. But Mr.. Hill
is too coy, and unless the news columns
lie they disclose the fact that behind his
seeming. he is still willing to be wooed.
Senator Hill did not exactly carry the
Southern people off their feet, yet his
hippodrome was something of success
at the time. Now, however, the South
ern Democratic press having got over its
enthusiasm is analyzing Senator Hills
speeches made as he swung around the
circle, and they find them to be anything
but satisfactory, and mainly to be empty
and sounding only. To counteract the
effect of this taking of his utterances
spart in the journalistic dissecting rooms,
the machine element of the party has at
tempted new boom in the North for
Mr.. Hill, and in the meantime are doing
