HOME RULE.
An Article by Mr.. Gladstone Criticised 4
by tho ThuAderer. I

by h ThuAdor0f.
LONDON, Sept. 26.-The Times had the
full text of Mr.. Gladstone's vindi-
cation of home rule. which was to ap-
pear in the North American Review to-
day, cabled to it from New York last
night. This article was written in reply to
the one by the duke of Argyle published
in the same magazine last month. This
mornings issue of the Times contains, be.
sides Mr.. Gladstone's article in full, q long
leader, in which it attacks his premises and
deductions. 1t says that the keen interest
which the duke of Argyll ha, always taken
in American affairs. his sympathy con.
stantly displayed for American ideals, the
pronlptitude and earnestness with which he
when Mr.. Gladstone was the civil
lied world that the rebel president had made
y nation. naturally won for him the CRATE
full respect of patriotic American citizens.
Mr.. Gladstone evidently feared that the eff
fects OF stat ments made on the authority Of
n so we'll entitled to the con-
exercise them. He endeavored to co1n-
teract the r effects by promptly issuing
characteristic reply. The Fundamental
propositions the duke OF Argyle lays down
are not the kind to be affected by slight in.
accuracies or disposed of by passionate
rhetoric. Mr.. Gladstone seeks to palm off
rs an argument that Americans from their
domestic experience have slight difficulty
in deciding whether. as a rule, Irish or
CARNATIONS, managed by Irish partisans are
distinguished for intelligence or integrity.
The Times add:
We have heard Of Tammany events on this
side Of the ocean, aud the arts by which the
domination OF Tammany hall was constituted.

Testing Diamonds.

Ample testimony has recently ap-
peared in scientific papers confrma-
tory of the fact that the hardness OF
diamonds is not perceptibly reduced
by cutting and polishing. One cor, es.
pondent states that in his early exper-
fence he was accustomed to select q
gem with smoothly glazed surface,
and after the stone was split in q
cleavage plane inclined at a rather
sharp angle to the natural face select
ed, this split face being ground and
polished. In this way he was enabled
to obtain at several points short
knife edges, which gave superb results
in ruling.
It was soon found, however, that
after ruling several thousand rather
heavy lines the diamond was liable to
lose its sharp cutting edge, and the
experience became SO frequent that
he was compelled to resort to the
method now employed, that of grind
ing and polishing both faces to a knife
edge. He has one ruling diamond pre-
pared in this way which has been in
constant 8 for four years, and it's
capacity for good work has not yet
been reduced in the slightest degree.
G. F. Kunz, who took part in the
discussion on this subject, mentioned
incidentally that there is no difficulty
in even the most inexperienced person
distinguishing the real from the imita-
ton diamond. If the stone scratches
sapphire it is without doubt y dia-
mond, whereas putting the jem into a
flame would not differentiate the dia-
mond from the white topaz, o. the
white zircon or the white sapphire or
the white tourmaline, or any other
white stone that is not fusible. But
the absolute and most simple test for
diamonds is to draw the stone sharp.
ly over an implanted board in a dark
room. Every diamond phosphoresces

Glover for Green Manure.


After the first harvest of clover tho
second crop should be allowed to
grow as late as possible on land that
is intended for wheat or corn next
season. Tho value of green manure
plowed under in the Spring or Au-
tumn is not generally fully appreciat-
cd. 1t is q mistake to take the first
growth and turn it under, and then
leave the land for the following sea-
Son. The hay is lost by this opera
ton and nothing gained. Half the
real value of the clover will be lost
before the following season. 1t is just
as sensible to throw the manure out
of the barn, says Farm and Fireside,
and leave it there for eight or nine
months exposed to the sun and wind.
BY the time it is ready for use
three-quarters of it's strength will be
lost. Harvesting this aso was
early. Plenty OF rain made the grass
in most sections grow lively, and the
fret crop was cut In some places a
week before the first of July. Since
then rains have been plentiful enough
to give the second growth a good
start. The consequence is If
no heavy drouth follows, q
second growth of clover and
other grass will be ready to cut.
But do not cut this. 1t is killing the
hen that lays the golden egg. If the
field is to remain'for pasture or grass
another year, this second growth will
be needed to fertilize the new roots of
the following season. If the land is
needed for corn or wheat pillow the
grass under late this Autumn. Allow
The Winter weather a chance to con-
vert this green manure into good
plant food. It will rot and decom-
pose rapidly under the earth, and by
early Spring will be ready for q new
crop. The main point in turning IN.
der green manure, then, is not to let it
remain SO long under the ground that
it's strength is d%issipated, but put corn
or wheat on it at an early date or AZ
DOR there after as possible.

Nothing Wasted.

In Paris nothing is wasted not the
smallest scrap of paper; that which
every one else throws away here be-
comes a scource of profit. Old pro-
vision tins, for instance, are full of
money; the lead soldering is removed
and melted down into cakes, while
the tin goes to make children's
toys. Old boots, however bad, al
ways contain in the arch of the foot
at least one sound piece that will
serve again, and generally there are
two or three others in the sole, the
heel and at the backs. Scraps of
paper go to the cardboard factory,
orange peel to the marmalade maker,
and so on. The ideas suggested are
not always agreeable, and to Q q
rag-picker fishing orange peel out of
the basket is enough to make one
foreswear marmalade-but there is
worse than that. The most valuable

among other things, for clarifying

ASIeyer Canine.

A family in Staten Island has a dog that seems to show a distinct reasoning faculty. The dog had long been accus- toned to take . morning walk with a member of the family, but was not per mitted to accompany his friend to church. The animal soon seemed to understand that one day in the seven he must remain at home, and the conclu- sion was that he could count. On Sun day morning, however, the dog sur prised everyone by joining the family on the way to church. The conclusion was that he had forgotten until it was calleu to mind that the church bell had not rung that morning. The dog evil dently had associated the sound of the bell with the fact that he was not to accompany his companions as usual. and when the bell did not ring he saw no reason for emitting his usual walk.

A FLOATING FAM.
Chautauqua Lake the Scene of a
 G,ueer Legal Contest
The Ground Near the Lake Believed to Be . Cruss formed Upon the sarface of . Large Body
 of Water.

A curious legal complication is exeit- ing the interest of residents about Chau- tauqua lake. On the night of August 24 a severe storm visited the country around the lake, and the next morning . dozen islands were seen where there had been an unbrolxen lake surface be- fore. These islands, on one of which large trees were growing, proved to be great masses of earth broken from the mainland by the storm and driven down the lake by the high wind. The largest contained about an acre and half and had been broken from the farm of Mrs. James Stone. It had been carried four miles down the lake and lodged in Bur tic bay near the lake front, owned by Charles Clifford. As that gentleman was not pleased with the unsightly ad- dition to his property, he sold it to Charles Wicks, a real estate dealer. for five dollars. on the promise of the latter to make extensive improvements upon it. At the same time Charles Niedhart, another real estate man, went to Mrs. Stone and purchased the property from her, pay ing five dollars Both Wicks and Niedhart received quit-claim deeds. Now both purchasers claim the prop erty, and the courts will be called upon to decide between them. says the Og- densburg (N. Y.) Journal.
 The legal fraternity began to discuss the case. and some puzzling questions arise. Thus, is the property real or personal? If personal. being movable. was it the property of the original own CT after it had been lodged in the high way? If real estate, it is properly an accretion of the land against which it lodged. or. having found anchorage in the public highway, does it revert to the state? It is argued that, being movable, Mir. Wicks' title will not hold, as he has no right to drive piles in the highway to hold it, while another storm might carry it further down and against another mans property. or n passing steamer might hitch and pull it away, thus making it the property of any per son along the lake front.
 The belief begins to prevail that in Chautauqua valley was once large body of water. over a portion of which a crust of land has been formed, and that the farming lands around it are
 
 Marvin park an undulating motion of the ground is discernible when a horse passes over it, and when the annual fair is held upon it many timid persons re fuse to remain because of the distinct ness of the strange vibration. Also in exhaustible artesian wells are reached at from fifty to one hundred feet below the surface. The city of Jamestown is supplied with water from these wells. which were drilled about four miles to the east, and some of which flow five hundred thousand gallons day.
 The phenomenon Is remarkable one and is likely to engage the attention of the scientists who assemble annually at Chautauqua- Naturally the owners of farms along the lake will feel some un- easiness when the next big storm comes. To have the lake dotted all over with lit tie island farms would mar its symme- try and yet undoubtedly add to its pie turesqueness-
