mitted to every young tree which is
started from a bud which contains the
perennial mycelium. Since all of the
affected leaves fall off from diseased
trees at quite an early period. and at
the time of budding the seedlings in
August there is probably no sign of the
curl in any of the leaves, it would be
impossible to discriminate between the
diseased and healthy trees, or the at
fected and free branches,
A selection in May or June of healthy
trees for budding purposes would pre-
vent the transmission of the disease
through nursery stock.
Efforts have been made to check
leaf curl by the use of the Bordeaux
mixture, but the Cornell station in its
recent bulletin considers it uncertain
whether the spraying has proved sue
cessful. The disease known as plum
pockets, or plum bladders, and which
is manifested by hollow, spongy and
abnormally enlarged fruit, belongs to
the same species of fungi.-N. Y.

0 LEAF CURL.

Ar Explanation of the Rapid Spread OF
the Destructive Disease.
The leaves and twigs are the only
portions of the peach tree which are
known to be affected by the fungous
disease popularity called leaf curl. The
chief cause of the spread of this dis
ease is doubtless owing to the fact that
the mycelium is perennial in the leaf
buds, that is, it passes the late sum-
mer, autumn and winter months in the
tissue of the Leaf buds, and in the fol-
lowing spring grows out with the de-
veloping leaf, multiplying more abund-
antly in certain portions than in 9TH
ers at times.

PLAIpS NOT IN STYLE.
Always to be In Fashion, but They Never
Are-Egyptian Plating.

Are-Egyptian Plating.
At this ju~ncture of the year, the
same prophecy is always made: Dur
ing the forthcoming autumn and win
ter season plaids are to be f~ashionably
and generally worn"
Those who believe in the prediction
always end by being deceived. Tartans
never become generally fashionable by
any chance
Its history: The tartan is indeed "a
genuine outcome of the primitive in
stincts OF tribal pride, which dates to
the forgotten past"
The difference of clan tartans are no
doubt traceable to localities, since the
women who spun the wool from their
home hocks, dyed it with natural dyes
found in the fruits, vegetables and
barks Of their own neighborhood,
where the yellow poppy by the sea-
shore grew ple%ntifully, and the red
berries by the wayside. there the col
ors of yellow and red predominated in
plaids.
Speaking of plaids, it is imagined
that kilting-that is, the plating of
any fabric, silk or woolen-was first
adopted by the Highlanders, but l
learn that this is far from being the
case.
Plating, a survival of mt of the
prettiest of fashions, dates back to the
dimmest of pasts; and thousands Of
years ago the Egyptians showed, as we
can see in their sculptures, as passion
ate a love for accordion" plating cs
we do to this day.-Gentlewoman.

Flour ss Stock Feed.

In a recent number of the RI eders
Gazette, Prof. W.. A. Henry calls at
tention to the fact that low grades OF
flour are nov frequently offered at
prices that make them a cheaper stock
food than the wheat itself. Some
grades contain the germs of the wheat
grains, which can be detected in the
-four as dark spots due to the oil in
the germs turning color. These germs
are exceedingly rich in protein, the
most valuable part of food. For feed
ing horses, flour can be spread over
moistened hay. For cows it can be
fed in the same way, or e cut fod-
der, but should generally be mixed
with bran. For pigs it car be made
into slop, either straight Oh mixed
with cornmeal or other materials at

A New York Policeman Held Under Ban
for Perjury, Makes u Startling Comics.
sion, Giving "A Complete Statement Re-
gardlng Blackmaii and Corruption in the
Police Department-Work for the Grand
jury.
New YORK, Dec. 17.-Policeman Au-
gust E. Thorne, formerly of ex-Capt.
Stephenson's Leonard-street squad. has
confessed. He was held in $500 bail
Friday for perjury and kept in the
Tombs all night. Saturday morning
he expressed a desire to see Assistant
District Attorney Lindsay. To him he
made n full confession of all he knew
about the police bribery. The revela-
tions made by Thorne are of an as
founding character.
Assistant District Attorney McIn-
tyre, who left Mr.. Lipdsay's office
about . o'clock in the afternoon said
to a group of waiting reporters that
he never heard anything like what
Thorne had made known. The in.
dicted policeman has made a clean
breast of the Stevenson story. In adj
dition to this he gave a complete state
ment regarding blacllmail and cor
ruption in the police department. He
told of the system, it is said, that has
been in vogue of making collections
from every source where tribute has
been levied and will, far as he knows,
tell where the money has gone.
Thorne has been on the force six
years.
At $50 o'clock Thorne left Mr.. Lind
says office and was taken back to the
Tombs. Mr.. House, who was present,
seemed very much disturbed. Mr..
House is counsel for several of the in
dicted police officials yet untried.
Mr.. Lindsay said that Thorne made
a full statement concerning the acts
charged against Stephenson. He says
Stephenson endeavored to persuade him
to go on the stand during his trial
last week and re-perjure himself, but
though he was in the criminal court
building during the trial. Thorne
went far beyond this, and it is under.
stood implicated many police officials
in the confession he made.
Mr.. Lindsay said the information
given was of such a character that he
could not possibly say anthing about
it at this time. Thorne was connected
with the Leonard-street station during
the terms of Captains Eakins, Siebert,
Stephenson, Cross, Schmittberger. Do
herty, and acting Capt. OToole.
a report was current Immediately
after Thorne left the building that the
matters he confessed to will be brought
to the attention of the grand jury at
once, as soon as the stenographers
minutes are ready. 1t is also reported
that a number of police officials who
have not yet been smirched will be
kept under strict surveillance until
action is taken. 1t is said the confes-
sion is the most important that has yet
been brought out. Policeman Thorne
was admitted to bail in 81, 800 shortly
before ) o'clock yesterday afternoon.
His bondsman was Ludwig Meyer, of
No. Isl Franklin street, who gave
that property rs his security.

ALLEGED JAPANESE CRUELTY

At the Capture OF Port Arthur Being In
vestigated by that Government.
WASHINGTON, Dec. IA telegram
has been received at the Japanese le-
cation from the minister of foreign af-
fairs at Toxic in relation to the atroci-
ties alleged TO nave been committed
by Japanese troops at the cap
ture of Port Arthur. The government
at Toxic is not in possession
of full details of the affair,
but the information already at hand
shows conclusively that some of the
reports circulated concerning the con-
duct of the Japanese troops were both
exaggerated and misleading. If there
was any unnecessary bloodshed, the
telegram states, the Japanese gov
eminent cannot but believe that
there must have been some
cause, for the behavior of the
Japanese troops in the enemy's
country has heretofore been most ex-
emplary, at times under circumstances
tending to excite feeling of the deep
est resentment and animosity. 1t is
known to be a fact hat the great ma
jority of those Chinese who were killed
at Port Arthur were not peaceful in
habitants, but Chinese soldiers
disguised in civilian dress. Most
of the inhabitants fed from
the place several days before
its capture, and at the present time
have returned and are pursuing their
ordinary ~vocations without molestatlon
or restraint. The Japanese government
has no disposition to conceal any of
the facts, but, on the contrary, has or
dered a strict investigation, the result
of which, it is stated, will be promptly
made public.

THE BONDS ASSESSABLE.
THE ASSESSORS RAISE is ONLY
PARTIALLY SUCCESSFUL.
Judge Shaw Renders q Decision in tho
Old Case of Fsrmors and Nor
chants Bank VS.. the City
OF Los Angeles.

Judge Shaw, in department five OF the
superior court, yesterday gave q decision
in the long pending case OF the Farmers
and Merchants bank va. The City of
Los Angeles.
This was the suit in which the bank
sought to recover $l5l4.23 paid by it to
the city under protest. in discharge OF
certain taxe5, which the bank claims
were illegally assessed against it.
The items Of the claim were for $780,
900 United States treasury certificates,
upon which the tax was 5000; $37, $40
bonds of the Spring Valley Water COM
pany, s447.?2; and $3S, $50 solvent cred-
its. $466.56.
Judge Shaw filed an opinion in the
case in which he holds that the item of
solvent credits, it was agreed by counsel
should have been $40, 400. instead of
S3S. 800, and the tax S242 So instead of
$446 &c. q difference o. $233 rs. for which
the plaintiff should recover.
The assessment OF the SOL 900 United
States treasury certificates he holds is
illegal on its face. Such certificates are
prima facie obligations of the United
States, and as such not subject to taxa
ton. The assessment is illegal and tho
plaintiff entitled to recover for the ad-
ditional eum Of 5000.
In regard to the Spring Valley Water
company bonds. it appears that they
were received by mortgage on real
property of the company situated in the
counties OF San Mateo and San Francis
CO. The plaintiff contended that the
bonds 80 secured constituted an interest
in the land and must be taxed in the
county in which the land Was situated.
Judge Shaw on this aubject rules as
follows:
"The bonds OF che corporation in ques-
tion are personal property and like
other personal property are lawfully
taxable in the county where the owner
resides. This part OF the assessment ia
therefore lawful. There is no evidence
that the tax on the land described in the
mortgage has ever been paid. the quea-
ton of double taxation thereof does not
ariae. The conclusion follows that the
plaintiff is entitled to judgment for the
sum OF 1888. rs on account of the enron

when a well-appearing old gentleman,
who introduced himself as from Wash

them as hat pegs. He was upeechlesH.
