ration as has HOODS Sarsaparilla.
The Culture Of Orchard and Gar
den Fruits.

This is the title of work bulletin
No. 92) just issued by the North Car
DINA Agricultural Experiment Station.
Its value may be judged by the subject
treated of and the fact that it is of like
character to the many excellent papers
prepared and sent out under the direc-
ton of DIR. H. B. Battle. The docu-
ment in question must prove of benefit
to persons interested in fruit culture
either for market or their own use, and
we hope to see it have wide circula-
ton. And this promises to be the case
since we are advised by private letter
that there has been great demand for
it even before it came from the press.
It is very comprehensive in scope, en-
bracing two general heads. The first
includes the propagation, planting and
culture of fruit trees and fruit bearing
plants, and the preservation and ship
ping of fruit. The second head en-
braces insects and diseases affecting
fruit trees, plants and fruit, with rem
edies for their destruction. The pub
LEGATION is copiously illustrated with 81
cuts showing how to graft and prOpa-
gate fruit trees and vines and prune
them; also cuts of insects and how dis
eases affect them, together with ap-
planes to destroy these enemies. 1t
is manual for growing fruit trees and
preserving them, as we'll as for the care
of fruits in reference to gathering, pack
ing, shipping, drying, preserving and
canning them. Varieties of fruit are
described, as we'll as those most suita-
BILE to various sections Of North Caro-
lima. It contains l48 pages, the largest
bulletin the station has yet published.
Bulletin -, ''The Best Agricultural
Grasses" is next in point Of size, and
has 100 pages. The edition has 4,5O(
copies. The paper necessary to print
this number is l434 reams and weighs
8,l68 pounds or 81 tons. If this paper
were spread on the ground one thick
ness it would cover an area of 48, 435
square yards, or about one hundred
acres. If the separate sheets of the
entire edition of the bulletin were pu

Castoria is truly marvellous thing for
children. Doctors prescribe it, medical
journals recommend it, and more than a
million mothers are using it in place of
paregoric, Bateman's drops, so-called
soothing syrups, and other narcotic and
stupefying remedies. Castoria is the
quickest thing to regulate the stomach
and bowels and give healthy sleep the
world has ever seen. 1t is pleasant to
the taste and absolutely harmless. 1t
relieves constipation, quiets pain, cures
diarrhpa and wind collie, allays feverish
ness, soothes the child and gives it re-
freshing and natural sleep. Castorla is
the children's panacea-the mother 8

Castoria is put up in one size bottles

court house here Saturday afternoon,
and Notwithstanding the rainy weather
had good crawd to hear him. Before
the public address there was a private
business meeting of the Alliance which
we were informed was we'll attended.
Mr.. Shuford is an apt and ready speaker
and held the close attention of his
hearers from the time he commenced
until the close of his address. After
speaking of the Alliance, its policy and
the principles for which it stands he
turned his attention to more public
matters and for most part his speech
was devoted to a discussion of the
silver question. He was listened to
attentively by the mixed audience
present, the court house being about
two-t thirds full of people.

what Is Electricity:

IF the question IS now asked, "What
is electricity" we may reply advanta-
geously. in the words of Jokai: A thing Of
which we know little more than moth
ing and little less than something. A
little more than nothing, for we know
that it is of the nature of light and heat,
extending itself like them in waves Of
motion. A little less than something,
for of the essence of electricity itself,
whether static or dynamic, we are still
absolutely in the dark. There has been
no want of other theories, but the fun
damental tendency Of the age is to re-
duce oil phenomena and forces to the
fewest possible primaries, and it is not
improbable that this will be facilitated
by 40 wave theory of the SO called
ether.
The problem of gravitation, too, which
was SO long regarded as force sctiiis::
from distance, is now equally atrlib.
uted to the agency Of a medium. h.his
efforts to demonstrate the oneness of ali
natural forces, asphysicist is not likely
to be led astray, even although the cog
milton of force presents one Of those
world problems, the solution of which
must forever escape us; aye, although,
as the final result of the most exact in
yestgation, it should forever be denied
to him even to assert decisiyely, at is
only q force, and the ether is its me-
dunn of transmission. Exchange.

The reason for this bellicose disposition

to guess. Fodder is rare inthe

Pathetic Farewell.

Jacques Jasmin, q barber and poet Of
France, began life in extreme poverty.
That the pathetic events of such a child
hood must have sunk into his soul may
be guessed from one incident which, in
after years, he set down in his "Recol-
lections." His grandfather, when too
old and infrm to solicit aims, quietly
made arrangements to be carried to an
almshouse in order that he might no
longer burden the family. Jasmin says:
Twas then fen years old. Twas play
ing in the square with my companions,
girded with a wooden sword, and J was
king, but suddenly dreadful spectacle
disturbed my royalty. i saw an old
man in an armchair borne along by sew
eral persons. The bearers approached,
and recognized my own grandfather.
In my grief saw only him. -
Iran up to him in tears, threw myself
on his neck and kissed him. He re-
turned my embrace and wept.

trees, and then / abandoned my play
and returned home, full of sorrow.

breathed his last. His wallet. was hung
up on it's usual nail in the room, but it

J sa,usic. Helsh, and Basque. &

-
Having two American friends stop.
ping with us, We brought a nice Welsh
girl from BolgeIly one evening to sing
tol them the national songs. Miss Madgs
Roberts, a sweet, pretty young lady and
excellent singer, went over an immense
repertory of Welsh music, and Miss ST.,
who is very scientific musician, made
many remarks on the pecuharities of
the Welsh scale, etc. Suddenly she eS-
claimed: ssI cannot think what music
1T is thatsI know that these Welsh tunes
80 huch resemble. Stay, it is BasqueI
and she proceeded to hum shree or four
typical Basque songs. Miss Roberts
and all of us instantly recognized the
similarity OF these with the Welsh, es-
pecially the Oldest Welsh, songs which
she had been singing.
Miss S. was very much surprised when
/ told her that Professor Boyd Dawkins
believed in the original Identity of the
Basque and pre-C Celtic Welsh, theory
of which she was quite ignorant, SO that
her testimony to the similarity of the
national music was entirely spontaneous.
Lam not musical, and my opinion is
OF no value, but there does appear to me
to be in the old Welsh music, as in a
great deal of the Welsh character, a dis

Verdi and His Admirer.

commander of the Ravenna district,
They got into conversation, which soon
turned on the subject Of music, and the
general, who did not know his compan-.
