it did in Pennsylvania a very considerable part
OF the $500. 000. 900 Of personal property now
missing from the Boston tax duplicates would
appear on the assessors books and swell the
wealth OF Boston.
The largest individual taxpayer Of Boston
this year. as last, is Frederick L. Ames, his tax
bill to the city being s7s,6s9.03 This is an in
crease Of S3,716.l7 over 1891. The second
largest individual taxpayer is J. Montgomery
Sears. who few years ago stood at the head Of
the list His tax in 1892 was s57, 1923. 20, which
is an increase Of $4,000. 50 over that Of the pre-
vious year. The large individual taxpayers. in
addition to the above, who pay a tax Of over
1000 are as follows: Eben d. Jordan. $685.

DooNAGE LAWS
The "dcomage" idea seems ominous, but it
seems to be efficient in practice. Between 1890
and 1890 doomage laws were put in force b.
New Hampshire, Vermont and Pennsylvania.
They had phenomenal increase of the persona!

with Massachusetts, and New York. where no

to create tor itself an immense demand,
first as luxury, but soon surely as an
article of food.
9th. With reasonable transportation
the, fruit can be proftably put on our
northern markets, and this can be done
in a condition that will defy competition
from more southern regions.
10th. The tree is OF rapid growth and
of easy culture.
18th. The tree is All early bearer, be-
ginning to fruit at tour and five years of
age, and producing immense crops. In
the prodigal abundance of it's crop the
mango compares we'll with the orange
when at its best.
125h. AS far as known the tree is long
lived and has few insect enemies.
18th. The tree in its nature seems
more at home and produces earlier and
fuller crops on the poor white sand lana
than on the richer hammock, shell or
clay soils.
18th. The mango in it's character is
thoroughly tropical, and at all seasons
of the year is an attractive object. The
tree puts on it's new growth from two to
ten times a year. This growth at first
is of dark wine color, and from little
distance resembles mass of dark brown
ish tassels. These are unique even in a
land of strange and luxuriant growths
besides, these tassels are continually
changing and may be seen in all gradua-
tons Of color, from the darkest wine to
deep glossy green.
In these concise statements the reader
will be able to see how single variety
of fruit may be made, in the hands of en-.
terprising men, to shape the destiny OF
South Florida.-E. Gale, in Tropical
Sun.

A Cheap Homemade Sprayer.

I have seen nearly all the different
spraying machines for spraying grapes,
from the Eureka knapsack sprayer to
the large automatic sprayer on wheals,
made by some Western Company, says
John Burroughs, in American Garden
own devising. l took the wheels and
axle of an old moving machine, rugged
a framework upon it to support a cask,
lying horiz ontally, attached heavy shafts,
and thus quickly and cheaply had cart
just suited to the purpose. Upon the
cask placed a Douglass force pump,
arranged with two lengths of hose, and
TWO nozzl IS. The man who drives the
horse walks behind the cart and works
the handle of the pump; TWO men or
boys, one on either side, manage the
hose, and put the spray just where 1t is
wanted. The horse walks slowly, and
the work is hard for neither man nor beast.
I spray both sides Of the row, use about
800 gallons, and take about two days in
going over 5000 grape yints S. spray
six times, at intervals of ten or fifteen
days. Out of thirtysix tons of grapes
last season, I did not lose five pounds by
lot. Bat shall spray, rot or no rot.
Spraying adds greatly to the health Of
the vines, and consequently to the size
and beauty OF the fruit. The knapsack.
sprayers, as rule, fail to produce fine
enough spray; it is a mist we want, and
not fine rain.

Sulphur as a Preservative.

Fruit is plentiful this season. and

can for winter use. know of no cheaper
method than the tumigating process.
There is no need of expensive jars, as
the common stone jars are good enough,

The Mango.

and of pine culture for the last few
to think of something else. But great
many persons i'll DAde County are very
much engrossed in either preparing for,
or planting pines, and it is only the out
side party W no will venture to say, ooh,
give us rest" There is really no
danger that too many pines will be
planted, or that they will get too much
care. Surely none of our fields will get
too much thought. We have all reason
able encouragement t. extend to the
utmost Of our ability our pine fields.
Intelligent planting and culture has no
reason to fear competition. The nat
ural supply of pine slips will limit the
extension of our pine fields. That point
will surely be reached this year.
It is a matter worthy of special note
that the soil so peculiarly adapted to the
culture Of the pine is also the soil for
the mango. Also that tie climatic con-
ditions demanded by the pine are well
suited to the mango, and it may be added
that they will grow successfully upon
the same ground until the fast growing
trees demand the whole field. The
peculiar adoption of this tree to the poor
scrub lands of Dade County should be
carefully noted when we seek to meas
ure the future Of this region. We can
now see on every hand that these wide
wastes of poor white sand may be, as by
magician's wand, covered with rich
fields of pines, returning ample reward
to planters; but we have not perhaps as
fully realized that II rs equally within
our power to cover these same poor
lands with luxuriant groves of man2os.
While in the variety of our fruit we
enjoy very wide range (and if we so
will we may have much wider range),
it may be noted that the mango has
stronger claims for culture upon the
people OF Dade County than any lruit
that can be grown.
Under improved culture the mango in
it's adaptation to the wants of man will
probably out rank all other tropical
fruits, if it does not out rank the fruits
of the world as we'll. The special claims
of the mango upon our planters may be
summed up as follows:
LIST. The range Of it's culture in the
United States is limited to the southern
extremity OF Florida.
2nd. Our mango groves must be sew
eral hundred miles nearer reliable mar
kets than any competing fields, for our
only competitors will he found i'll the
West India Islands.
3rd. The fruit is exec edingly delicious.
Very few persons have to acquire taste
for it, though it has & flavor peculiar to
itself it is relshed from the first by near
ly all.
4th. The fruit is very nourishing as
an article of food.
9Th. 1t can be prepared for use upon
our tables in a great variety Of ways,
while for eating direct from the hand it
is among all our fruits quite unexcelled.
6 h. The refuse fruit is relished by,
and is hourishing article OF 70 ID for
our domestic animals.

CONFESSION on FAILURE.

It's Position.
A VIRTUAL MULTIPLICATION.
Council Bills Are Sold Below the Arbi

The London Press Devote Much Space ts
the Action Taken-The Financial News
Calls on India to Admit Its
Blunder.

NEW YORK, Aug. 16.-London cables
received in Wall street this afternoon re-
port that the Indian council had receded
from the position it took when it closed
the Indian minis to free coinage of silver
and was selling council bills below the
arbitrary fixed rate of 154d. The advices
were meager and did not state whether
the minis had been reopened. I'm the
absence of definite news it was supposed
the council had been unable to maintain
rate OF exchange in India at the price
fixed. Few persons understood what fur
Their changes might be expected or why a
reduction had been ordered. 1t was the
original action of the council in fixing the
rupee price and closing the minis that
sent silver from 81 to 81 cents an ounce.
A London cable says the money market
was surprised and disturbed today by
the sale of Indian council drafts at Is
SD. When the Indian minis were
closed TO the free coinage of silver the
council fixed the rate for drafts at Is Id,
and the sudden reduction causSaa gem
eral feeling of uneasiness and tenders for
bills at Is 31Sd were refused. In conse-
quence ofthe reduction in the price of
drafts, rupee paper dropped I'D.

RIOTS IN BOMBAY.
The City Is Said to BE in Possession of a
Mob


Mob
LONDON, Aug. 16.-Rumors were cur
rent today that the religious riots in Bonn
bay had broken out egain and that the
fanatics had massacred many persons.
Today is Hindoo holiday and the au-
thorities at Bombay fearing that trouble
would be started again with the Moham-
medans had 800 troops held in readiness
for instant service in REFRESHING any dis
order. In the Hobbies of the house of
commons reports that the European resi-
dents of Bombay were in jeopardy were
ridiculed as it is known that the military
could at a very short notice flood the city
with troops.
A Bombay telegram says: Religious
race rioting was resumed today and for
several hours the streets were the scenes of
desperate conflicts. The fighting was
OF most sanguinary nature and large
number of persons were killed and
wounded. Today being Hindoo hoIl-
day the authorities anticipated renewal
of the recent disturbances and were in
measure prepared to suppress an out
break, but the police and the force OF
troops in the garrison were inadequate to
cover the whole city and before quiet was
restored in one district fresh outbreaks
occurred in other parts of the city. The
rage of the mob was directed especially
against mosques, several of which were
sacked and burned.
All public buildings are now guarded
by troops, and gunboats in the harbor
have been cleared for action and brought
into position to cover native quarters
Local authorities are confident Of being
able ultimately to quell the uprising.

DISCUSSED IN LONDON.
Views of the Press Regarding the Action
of the Council.

Views of the Press Regarding the Action
of the Council.
LONDON, Aug. 16.-The Times in it's
financial article this morning says Den
yer & Rio Grande preferred was quoted
higher yesterday owing to the absurd i'm
preston that the Indian government was
about to reopen the minis to silver.
Whether the decision taken lately on this
subject be wise or not, it is not at all
likely that the government will interru pit
it soon, as the origin of the rumor was
the action of the Indian council in SELL
ing drafts at Is. I'D. From the begin
ming it was doubtful whether the council
would be able to force the market to buy
on their own terms. The fact that Indian
exports would be Immediately contracted
and Indian imports expanded, thus SIM
ultaneously reducing the demand for and
increasing the supply of remittance to
the east had, we must assume
been overlooked or not sufficiently
allowed for. Moreover, account
could have been taken of other
could be and actually were made use of,
such as rupee paper and even silver.
On the other hand we fear majority of
the council overestimated the rapidity
which cessation OF coinage would begin
to give the rupee monopoly value. This
would be a matter on which it would be
foolish for any outsider to offer an
opinion. But arguing on purely
priority ground, we should certainly have
thought it rash to assume that a
cessation of coinage Of less than two
months could possibly effect the value of
an article of which SO large amount was
known to be in existance. Perhaps the
stoppage of mintage for year may pro-
duce some effect but even that is in no
way certain.
The Standard regards the Indian coun-
cil's action as complete confession of
failure seldom paralleled in the action of
governments.
The Financial Nelcs says: "What fur
ther results will flow from the Indian
counciI's action it Is impossible to fore
tell. 1t virtually nullified the step taken
on June 26 and logically must sooner or
later lead to the question whether after
all it is not better for the Indian govern
ment to admit its blunder and reopen its
miute.
