WARMED HIS AmpUrAr ED HAND
Then Flanagan, Who Was Unaware
of Their Doing So, Said His Pain
Was Gone.
From the New York Herald

Sidney, N. Y, May 10.-James Flanni.
gan had his left arm crushed last Friday
while employed in the Ontario and West
ern railroad yard at Sidney The arm was
amputated and deposited temporarily in
the cemetery vault The next day after
the amputation the unfortunate man COM
planned that the missing hand panied
him severely, and for hours he was un-
able 10 rest
You men ridicule the idea, said the
suffering man to an attendant, but
know if that poor left hand was where 10
could keep warm l would feel better
Unbeknown to Flanagan a friend went
to the vault, removed the amputated
member and placed it near a fire. In less
than five minutes after this Flanagan,
who was writing in pain, suddenly bey
came quiet and exclaimed: THE pain
has ceased. The hand must be getting
warmer
1t was some time before Flanagan was
informed that the hand had been dis.
turbed, and it was kept unburied until
Yesterday and then inferred in the fam
lily plot.

A FOUNDRY IN FLAMES.
Blanton & Co.'s Plant at Griffin
Burned.

Griffin, Ca, May 29.-B. p. Blanton g.
Co.'s iron foundry, with its machinery
and considerable lumber, caught
fire tonight at II o'clock, and was
totally destroyed. The building and its
contents were estimated at 5000. This
was one of the oldest enterprises
in the city, and it was with much
difficulty that the ad ioining buildings
were saved. At one time it was thought
that the First Baptist church would Ger
tainly be enveloped, but the heroic work
OF the fire department saved it, II is
stated that there was no insurance on the
building, machinery or lumber. The
origin OF. the fire is Thought to be the
work Of an incendiary.

ONE METHOD EMPLOYED.

A method somewhat similar though less
artistic, is to substitute for the interior
portion of gold piece core in The shape
of planchet of silver, the coin being
Spit for the purpose, as in the other case.
This process is employed almost exclu-
sivelY by Chinese. Its most important
drawback is that the eagle or double
eagle thus treated is noticeably light in
weight. A better plan, though somewhat
laborlous, is one described in a previous
letter by the writer. 1t consists in boring
into the coin from the edge so as to re-
move considerable part of its internal
substance. In this manner about 81 worth
OF gold may be conveniently removed
from $50 piece, the hole being filled
with metal composition and soldered AT
the opening with gold. TT
Numerous counterfeits of eagles and
halt-eagles are extant, cast in base metal
and gllded. Some of these are platinum.
for the sake of weight The gliding pro
cess has been ingeniously combined with
sweating" BY suspending in a tank of
cyanide of potash a gold piece at one end
OF copper wire and a base metal coun-
terfeit at the other end the criminal on
orator can transfer coating of gold
from the good coin to the bad one. By
this method the bad coin obtains the ap-
pearance of a gold piece, while the real
gold piece Is rendered not less negotia HE
at face value. OF course this may be
practiced with many coins at once. The
apparatus required is inexpensive, con-
sisting of few chemicals and small
battery. An electric light current will
serve the purpose.
The discoverers Of chemistry are of
great service TO counterfeiters. Com
paratively few false coins are issued
nowadays with an electro plating of cold
or silver, which adds to their deceptive
quality. In this way silver quarters
slightly altered as to lettering, are made
to initiate gold eagles, while dimes are
transformed in like fashion into half
eagles. Fortunately for the CURRENCY,
practically all of the gold ia circulation
In the United States passes every few
years through the treasury and subtreas-
uries. Every piece received at those in
situations is weighed, and, il found light
in weight is stamped with a big +. such
coins are redeemed as bullion. They are
sent to the mints, melted and recoined
The people lose by their deficiency aud
not the government.

The Beurre Bose Pear.

Is this pear known to all who grow
pears? If not, here is Rural New York
er's opinion of it: 1T is as distinct in
form as it is delicious in quality. The
tree is healthy, and an early and regular
bearer. The fruit is always large-often
very large, and never fails to develop its
distinctly characteristic long, narrow
neck. 1t grows, too, singly and not in
clusters. The flesh is always juicy, rich,
buttery, melting and perfumed. Per-
haps it is trife sweet to suit all tastes,
but it's sweetness, like that of the Seckel,
is most agreeable. 1t ripens from late
September through October. 1t does
not thrive on ounce stock, but the trees
bear so early that dwarfing is not needed
to hasten the bearing period"

Apples for Market.

An Ohio pomologist employs, when
packing apples for market, table eight
feet long with sideboards six inches
high that will hold two barrels of APP
Piles. He sorts the apples into at least
two grades. In remarks made before a
farmers institute he said: For the first
grade set two tiers of smooth, good COL
ored, medium sized apples, and fill up
the barrel with apples that will run as
good or better. Shake them well, level
off the end, press the end in so tight that
there is no chance for an apple to move,
and after the head is nailed turn the BAL
rel upside down and put your name On
1t as guarantee of No. apple, to be
sold for what the buyer is willing to
give"

Royal Pin Money.

The Princess of Wales long retire
ment has enabled her to save much of her
pin money-e10,000 a year-and bring it
up to comfortable amount. In the past
Alexandra has had plenty to do with
that allowance, dressing herself most
elegantly, her daughters very much less
so, and fitting out the boys. Times have
changed, her children have an annual
income of 5000 to divide among them
selves, and the princess has lived aloof
from London society since the death of
her eldest son, thereby mourning but lit
tie expense for dress.-New York Adver-

DESIGNS FOR TULIP OR HYAcINTH BEDS.

DESIGNS FOR TULIP OR HYAcINTH BEDS.
j. M. Therburn, of New York, to
whom thanks are due for the designs for
tulip or hyacinth beds presented in the
cut, advises in his catalogue of bulbs that
care be taken not to press the earth too
firmly around and over hyacinth bulbs,
which should be planted evenly about
six inches deep and from five to six
inches apart. Some gardeners follow
the plan of setting each bulb in a hand
full of clean sand, which insures proper
drainage. After the ground has frozen
tolerably hard in early winter the bed
may be covered with a few inches of dry
litter or coarse manure.
Tulips require cultural treatment SINH
lar to hyacinths, except that the bulbs,
being smaller, must not be planted quite

Propagating willows from Cuttings.

At meeting OF the Minnesota State
Horticultural society member said:
l have cut willows nearly every month
of the year, but l prefer cutting and
planting through the month of May. In
selecting cuttings choose clean two-year-
old wood or strong. we'll ripened one
year. Cut from eight to ten inches long,
and as near one-half inch in diameter as
economical cutting will allow. Larger
cuttings will root and do nearly as well,
but are more expensive to transport and
handle. Never cut them when frozen.
If cut in autumn or during warm days
in winter, pack in damp straw or saw
dust until wanted. These will bear
transportation long distances, even with
careless packing.

How and when tn Plant Hardy Bulbs
for Early Spring Flowers.
Many of our most attractive flowers
are produced from bulbs and dubious
roots. The hardy portion of this class
of plants, designed for outdoor culture,
is planted during the autumn. All hardy
bulbs may be planted as late in the fall
as the ground is open and the bulbs re-
main sound. October and November
are, however, the months preferred for
this work. The most effective displays
made with dubious plants are produced
by massing like or contrasting colors in
varieties blooming about the same time.
With hyacinths and tulips, especially,
beautiful effects may be produced by the
selection Of contrasting colors and har-
mOniOus arrangement.
