THE BELGIAN RIOTS.
The Granting of the Demand for Universe
Suffrage May Lead to Quiet.

Suffrage May Lead to Quiet.
BRUSSELS, April LIT seems at the
present writing as though the crisis in
Belgium was passed and that after a
few days the great labor troubles
would be settled and the men return
to work. The chamber of deputies,
aroused by public clamor, not only of
the workingmen but others who feared
for their lives, has decided to grant
universal suffrage, or practically so.
In view of the action of the deputies
the labor leaders resolved at meeting
held last evening to advise the aban-
donment of the general strike.
The agitation had been rapidly as
Stunning the dimensions of general in
surrection, and the dread of a terrible
uprising of the people similar to that of
the French revolution in its resistlesS
rage against privilege and power, had
the effect of bringing the chamber of
deputies around to the popular side.
There is no doubt in many minds that
had the chamber not acted promptly
there would have been revolution in
Brussels.
At the meeting at which the labor
leaders decided to advise the abandon
ment of the general strike it was also
decided to issue to the people mani
festo against the Nyssen bill, which
proposes the combination of plural vot-
ing and universal suffrage. The lead
ers of the bill urge the people to follow
up their victory by agitating unceas-
ingly for universal suffrage pure and
simple

best. The cultivation is simple. The
blossoms when fertilized turn down,
pierce the ground where the pods
form and ripen. The soil should be
rich, sandy and plowed not more than
three inches deep.
The following is the mode of cultiva-
ton and harvesting.
When all danger of frost is over, the
soil is bedded up and prepared, as for
tobacco, leaving only slight furrow-
mark between the rows. In the center
line. plant two seeds, at distances of
eighteen inches; also have reserve
plants, to fill the places of those that
may be destroyed by cut-worms, etc.
The cultivation is simply to keep
down the weeds, preserving the shape
of the beds until near the time of
blossoming. A narrow cultivator is
then run through the rows, followed
by horse team to earth up the plants.
The earth is afterwards lcveied to
present fat hill in which the nuts
are to form. If weeds or grass there
after appear they must be pulled by
hand.
The crop is not harvested until the
vines are touched by frost, for the
longer the vines grow the greater the
number of sound pods, except in the
farther south, where the vines ripen
fully. Hands follow the rows and
loosen the nuts with pronged hoes or
fat-tined forks. They are followed by
others, who pull the vines. shake the
earth from them and leave them turned
to the sun to dry. In dry weather
they will be sufficiently cured for
shocking. The shocking is done
Somewhat after the manner employed
for beans; or they may be finally cured
as beans sometimes are on scaffolds

Limo In the Orchard.

Lime is an indispensable plant food
for an orchard, for the reason that the
trees contain more lime than any other
mineral matter taken from the soil. 1t
is this use of lime that renders lime
stone soil SO excellent for fruit trees.
The lime may be applied on the grass
if the orchard is thus covered, and gyp-
sum may be used instead of lime if de-
sired, so far as its immediate effects
are concerned. But lime has much
more effect on the land chemically,
and indirectly by its results on the
organic matter of the soil, as well as
on the mineral matter. and thus the
actual lime is better than the sulphate.
Ten bushels per acre, given at inter-
walls of four or five years, have been
found better than a larger application
at longer intervals. Two dollars and
twenty-five cents is an excessive price
for lime, and more than it should cost
for land use: it would be cheaper to
buy wood ashes at twenty-five cents a
World.

CHAIN MANUFACTURE.
One Trade in which Machinery Has No
Superseded Manual Skill.

One Trade in Which Machinery Has No1
Superseded Manual Skill.
There are comparatively few trades
in which machinery has not to greater
or less extent superseded manual skill
Chain-mabing is one of these survivals,
and in that industry the cunning work.
man is still master of the situation. AL
though many machine-made chains are
used, they are not equal to the hand
made article, the chief point of infe-
riority being the welding of the link.
For this work no device has yet been
found which will take the place of the
strong and flexible wrist of a proficient
workman. But the work is extremely
hard ana exhausting, and six hours of
it constitutes good average day, even
for a robust chainmaker. The wages
are fair. being from $3.50 to $500 day;
but comparatively few native Amerl-
cans, it is said, are to be found among
the members of this craft. The major
ity are Englishmen; and in their own
country they begin to learn the trade,
in many cases, at seven years OF age. 1t
is a singular fact, considering the ma
ture of the employment, that not only
boys but girls of that tender age are
taught chain-making and follow it for
a livelihood, the chains made by wom-
en- being of the lighter class, with small
links. For the heavier descriptions of
work very high degree of heat is re-
quired: and it is the exposure 10 this
high temperature which tries most Sc
verely the constitution of even the
most vigorous workman.

Fears of Trouble.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, April 19.-The sit
uation at the Santa Fe yards in Argen-
tine is becoming exceedingly grave. At
least the action of Superintendent of
Terminals Rohrabacll indicated that he
expects very rough time at the yards
unless he is given an army of armed
men to assist him in the undertaking
he has in contemplation, which he ex-
poets will meet the disfavor of the strik-
ers and their staunch sympathizers
who are still in the employ of the com
pany and who expect to remain at their
posts until they are called upon to join
the strikers

FRUITS ON THE FARM.
How to Grow Them So rs to Attain Pleas
ure and Profit.

HOW TO Grow Ine1n so As 10 s%tt6ln Ilc1s-
ure and Profit.
Not only should the farmer use every
means to have all kinds Of fruit, but he
should endeavor to have the various
fruits to come in as early in their sea-
son as possible. He should select the
earliest as we'll as the best Early
fruit, though of inferior quality, will
be of more pleasure and profit than if
later and of better quality. My ex-
perience in marketing fruit for the last
eighteen years has been to this effect
Seek the earliest TO begin with, the
best quality in all respects for main
crop and the latest to quit on. The
first and last or latest fruits are gen.
orally inferior. most especially with
small fruits
But to grow fruits to attain the most
pleasure and profit, they must be plant
ed on good soil, well prepared and prop
erly cared for afterwards. To plant
any variety of fruit on poor soil, unless
it is well and properly MANFRED, will
not only prove an Improbable invest
ment, but will discourage the anxious
grower and foster the idea that there
is no pleasure or profit in its cultiva-
ton.
While fruits are very generous in
their demands, still all varieties of
fruits prefer and should have, as far as
practicable, soils genial to their wants,
where they flourish best and grow to
perfection with smallest amount OF
manure and cultivation.
Different situations, / have noticed,
make difference in the time of ripen-
ing, size and quality of fruit. l have
taken strawberry plants of the same
variety of pure stock, and set at the
same time two beds, one bed facing
southeast and the other on level ground.
There was several days difference in
the time of ripening. Those facing
southeast ripened first and sold for
twenty-five cents per quart, while
those set on level ground were as fine,
if not finer, but came in later, when
there were more berries in market,
and sold for only twelve and half
cents per quart Thus. the level bed
would have deprived us of the pleas
ure of setting the first berries of the
season before our neighbors, and en-
joyihg the same dainty dish ourselves,
besides considerable profit.-Thomas
d. Baird, in Farm and Preside.

A Storm In the Indian TERRITORY.

EUFAULA, 1. T., April 2O.-One of the
severest cyclones that ever visited this
part of the territory passed three miles
southeast of this place about o'clock.
A peculiar cloud, funnel-shaped and
quite small, made its appearance and
every one that saw it was sure that
it would strike Eufaula. Fortunate
ly it went around the town, but
played havoc about two miles east of
here. 1t cleared off strip about five
miles long and 100 feet wide All the

To Run with Colored Laborers.

WASHINGTON, April 2O.-Rapidly, but
quietly, a transformation is taking
place in the character OF employees at
the Homestead works. Carnegie and
Frick are replacing most of their white
labOrers and mechanics with colored
men from this city and other southern
points. Already 500 negroes have been
sent to Homestead and surrounding
factories from Washington alone. This
supplanting of white men with colored
laborers and mechanics has long been
contemplated as a preventive against
strikes. 1t is said other manufacturers
will make the same change

Allows of Silver.

A new alloy of silver with cadmium
and zinc has been introduced in practice
in silver plating in England. This alloy,
although more costly than the ordinary
alloy of silver with copper, is said to
work well and to show greater re-
sistance to abrasion and to be less
readily furnished 1t is, however,
cheaper than pure silver, which has
hitherto been alone employed for
electroplating purposes.

PARIS, Nov. 20 (by cable to New

Der has opened without any eXcit-

being any curiosity manifested on
the part of the public in the new
Legislators. The general opinion is
that no changes will take place, at
least for the present, either in the
ministry or in the domestic policy
of the governments, in which, by
the way, the public seems to be
taking less interest every day.
