is IT WORTH TRYING?
A scheme to Save the Fsuit From
Total Destruction


Fro The Greansocrp Record.
The Record is not an expert in
fruit raising, but it seems that it
would be worth while to make some
experiments in trying tG save the
fruit crop from destruction.
Talking with several men recently
1T has been suggested that fruit grow
ers could well afford TO purchase
covering made of some heavy materi-
al, of size sufficient TO cover over the
top Of a tree, and to prevent the wind
from blowing it off, pieces or strips Of
wood might be Sewed on each side
heavy enough to keep it on the tree.
When there is indication Of frost
these might be placed over the trees.
Fer nurSeFYmen, especially, it looks
like this would more than paytbem.
Trees are now planted close together
and ten or Il dozen men could cover
up many u tree in an hour or two of
work
These coverings could be saved from
year to year and with care would last
long time. The cost in doing such a
thing would amount to something,
but in such years when it would be
found necessary to resort to this labor,
fruit would be worth much more, for
everybody could not save fruit in this
way and the crop would of course be
short.
What do our nurserymen say about
it?
A gentleman informs Us that he has
known Of such methods in use in Del
aware and says frdit growers declare
it is worth four times its cost.

Mining In Alaska.

Some destitute Alaskan miners who
were recently landed in San Francisco
by a United States revenue steamship
brought dismal account of the gold
fields of the Yukon country. They do
not dispute the claim that mineral wealth
exists there, but say that great part OF
it lies under impenetrable mountains of
ice. Moreover, the high cost of living
renders the prospects of the average
miner extremely dubious. Inclement
weather, too, limits the mining season to
81 months each year. mining in Alas
ka," said one of the prospectors, sis diff
ferent from mining in any other region
ever heard of. In prospecting for claims
you first have to dig up from six inches
to three feet of moss, and beneath that is

has to be thawed before you strike bed

of ice and then not get anything" He

HIS HAIR WAS TOO RED.
Set the House Afire in Experimenting
With q New Color

BREMEN, Ind, March 27.-Hiram
Knoblock, is years old, tried a coal oil
remedy for changing his red hair, with
the result that all f his hair and NOS,
of his scalp were burned, while the
house of his aunt, Mrs. James Gruber,
was set on fire and her life endanger-
ed. Hiram has been very sensitive
about the color of his hair. 1t is not
a fashionable color near Bremen, and
the boys and girls of his acquaintance
took delight in calling aim "Bricktop"
ard nOther names. 4 tin peddler
called at the Gruber house, and offered
to give Hiram Il receipt that would
change his fiery locks to a raven black
ness. He wanted So for the secret
but as Hiram only had s. %
consented To take that.
The peddler told Hiram to wash his
hair ia coal oil for seven nights and
aot TO dry the oil off, but to let it soak
in Immediately after washing his
head he was TO go to bed. Hiram be
gan his treatment that night, and
after a thorough securing with the oil
started up stairs. There was no light
in the hall ane he struck match to
light his way up. His hair ignited
and with yell Hiram rushed back to
where his aunt was. Blinded with
pain, he ran against a window, and
set fire to the lace curtains. Mrs.
Gruber caught the boy and put out
the flames on his head, being severely
burned in the attempt. Some of the
neighbers were attracted by the noise
and ran in and put out the flames in
the house, not, however, until it was
badly damaged.
The boy will probably be disfgured
for life, and the chances are that
neither red hair, nor any other kind,
will ornament his head again.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.
PROPERTY VALUED AT $500, 900
WENT Up IN TIE AMES.
Over Two Hundred People Thrown
Out of EInpI ynent-A Sad Scene
The Property Lost.


NORFOLK, Va, March 24-Yester-
day afternoon fire broke out in the
lumber sheds Of the Roanoke Railroad
and Lumber company at Money Point,
prosperous little town five miles
from Norfolk, and destroyed at least
$500, GOO worth of property.
The flames spread with great rapid
ity and in d few minutes was COM
municated to the three-masted schoon-
laden, valued at s2S, 900, which was at
the wharf. The crew escaped by
jumping overheard. The vessel was
burned to the waters edge.
While the flames were rolling
mountain high, they were waited to
the property Of the Old Dominion
creosoting works, Tyler's box factory,
thirty dwelling houses occupied by
lahorers, managers, company's stores
which were consumed. 1t is said that
5000 900 feet of lumber went up In
smoke.
The pumps at the various works,
throwing LOCO gallons of water per
minute, were kept at work, but had
no more effect than boys toy.
st II O'Clock last night the scene
was one OF desolatiOn. The adjoining
fields were piled with such household
articles as were saved but many of
the hard working people of the little
town are destitute.
At II o'clock the flames were still
raging, and GilmoTetor. locks, where
Roper's mills are located, valued at
500 600, were in danger.
The little church at Money Point
was not burned, but its floor was
covered with bedding, and here the
men OF the settlement spent the night.
Many of them saved nothing whatever
and had nothing to eat. Some of the
more fortunate, however, who could
procure victuals divided their susten-
ance with their neighbors who had
none
All OF the milling property was well
insured, but the laborers had no in

will put up new works. but the Tyler
company will not. This fire throws

The Varying Phases of Democratic
Opinion About the Wilson Bill.


WASHINGTON, March 24.-The in
come tax has now been SO changed as
to tax building associations the same
as other corporations; that is, SO as to
be Il tax on their earnings in the
shape of dividends, and not, as the
Texas and Arkansas Senators had
made il, a tax on every dollar paid in.
Some of the Democrats who have
thus conferred are known to have had
cicsc relations with Mr.. Cleveland,
but of late they have been able to ex-
ert very little influence with him
locking to good results.
There are peace-at aLy-price Demo
Gratis, and they are active. Some of
til n want d caucus, others do not:
and ii caucus is an improbable thing.
Mr.. Cleveland, it is said, wants a eau
Gus. He might have better luck, he
thinks, in controlling caucus than
he has had in either branch of Con-
gress. ia Hawaii, or elsewhere. He
wants an opportunity to try his hand,
and certain Democrats are for giving
him what he wants. But they are
small majority, and the minority is
growing smaller.
