cheapness il can hardly be equaled. as
only the refuse stems of the poorest

are better than the stems OF fine Ha-

A PROFITABLE CROP.
When Properly Cultivated There Is Con-

When Properly Cultivated There Is Con-
siderable Money In Onions.
One of the most profitable of the
small special farm crops is oniors.
They have always been so. Doubtless
the reason is that skill is needed to
grow good crop, and it is as easy as
falling off log to make a mess of the
job and find the crop to be smothered
in weeds before the little onions are to
be seen. Then the time taken to save
the crop is lost as effectively as If try
ing to bring q dead man 20 life again.
The crop is not worth the cost of saving.
The land must be cleaned by previous
cultivation and well manfred with old
manure free from seeds of weeds, or by
fertilizers which is the better way.
The seed must be good. 1t is no use
trying homegrown seed. This kind of
seed produces more scallions than any
thing else, for seed growing of any
kind is special business that must
have experience and scientific knowl-
edge to make it successful.
But some farmers do succeed and
others may What one can do another
can II he will The onion grower must
determine to succeed, and back mp his
determination with an invineible will.
and then he may get 600 TO 500 bushels
Of bulbs to the acre. One acre is bet
ter to begin with until one learns how

He did not awake; but after awhile

There was the great seal close to

PIN MONEY POINTERS.
How Woman May Acquire methodical
business Habits.


business Habits.
Whether woman is poor or rich, it
behooves her TO acquire methodical
business habits, keeping her little ac-
counts accurately, and knowing to a
cent just what she does with her
money. An allowance IS the first step
toward this end, if at the same time it
is impressed upon her that every sum
spent should be set down with unfail-
ing regularity.
Ia black and white one notes how
much more easily the money can be
spent, how quickly it goes, and just
what foolish little nothings have lured
il from oar pockets. Without setting
down each item, it is ten chances to
one that you will conclude you have
lost some money, when you cannot
see how that ten-dollar bill went,
when you only bought such u very few
things
The neat little figures are a genuine
restraint besides installing habit
and system that viii be of great value
If fortune smiles, and great estate
comes TO your hands, and still greater
if economy is necessity and the dol
lar has to be forced into doing duty
for two
Unless the accounts are kept accu-
rately and cash made to balance every
evening, you had better not attempt
any bookkeeping at all, for slipshod
methods are worse than none, and.only
confuse everything rather than help
matters
If anything is worth doing at all, 1t
is worth doing we'll, and there is moth
ing so productive of future good as the
habit of looking carefully out for the
pennies when school-days are the only
trials. and the allowance of fifty cents
a week goes for candies and pickles.
II this is once established in child
hood, the girl win grow to womanhood
with a clear knowledge of where her
money goes and what she has to show
for il.

Experiments to Determine the Most Pro-

Experiments to Deter mine the Most Pro-
daetive and Hardy Varieties.
The results of the recent tests of
blackberries, dewberries aud raspber-
ries are giyer in bulletin No. 63 of the
Geneva n. Y station. The soil was
rather stiff clay loan, well tile
drained and fortified with stable
manure. The fruits tested were given
no winter protection.
The most productive blackberry at
the station in 1898 was found to be the
Dorchester, an old variety much es-
teemed in some localities for the pro-
ductiveness and quality OF the fruit.
Ancient Britton, which ranked second,
gave excellent, medium-sized fruit
Early Harvest made a good record,
though apt to be injured by winter.
Agawam proved fourth in productive
ness, and is considered one OF the most
valuable varieties tested at the station.

Inc most productive DidCkcdp dI the

and on account of its very large size,
fine appearance, good quality and pro-
ductiveness should prove TO be de-
sirable acquisition TO the black rasp-
berry list. Mills No. Is, IIilborn and
Sprays Early came next in the order
named in productiveness.
The Columbian, Shaffer and Cardinal
were found to be the most productive
of the purple raspberries, while among
the red the Cuthbert proved the most
prolific. The latter holds first rank as
a market berry against all newcomers.
The Royal Church took second place
This is late variety and is recon-
mended as worthy of trial for the late
home garden. as is the Pomona for
early fruit The Turner, while not
equal to the Cuthbert is more hardy,
and consequently valuable for many
localities where the latter does not sue

Among the white raspberries the
Vermont and Caroline proved the most
productive, while the Champlain ranks
high for flavor and quality.

How Nice One May Re Made at Small
Expense.
II Is a convenience to have a place
in the house devoted solely TO medi-
cine bottles and boxes. Medicine cab
inets can be bought, but they are some
what expensive for modest purses. A
very satisfactory cabinet can be made
with little skill, at slight expense.
Get carpenter to make a long box
of pine, of wildwood, or walnut if
you choose. Have it about eight
inches wide and six deep; the length
must depend somewhat on the place
where 1t is to be set up, but from
twenty-four to thirty inches will be
right. Stain or paint it to match the
woodwork of the room in which it will
be placed. Then fasten small framed
mirror, whose length is the width of
the box, in the center of the open side
or front of the cabinet; it can be hung
to a small brass rod that passes

A QUEER RESULT.
Fire That May Cause Town to Be-
come Annexed to Worcester.


MILLBURY, Mass, May IA dis astrous
fre was discovered early this morning,
thought TO have been of incendiary origin
in the rear of the Old Forester House on
South Main street, where two previous
attempts at incendiarism have been made
during the past year.
In 10 minutes after the discovery, the
whole structure was in flames. The guests
in the hotel were forced TO flee,
leaving their personal property. From
the hotel the flames zen leaped
across the street to the two story frame
building owned and occupied by Cunning
ham & Co., hardware dealers, which was
total loss in short time.
Special efforts were made to save the
handsome block occupied by the Millbury
National Bank, and assistance was re-
quested from Worcester. and help re-
sponded quickly.
After considerable exertion the bank
block was saved although badly
damaged by water. In the
meantime the fire had eaten into
the Arms by block on the other side of the
Cunningham building where it was con-
fined after completely wrecking the build
ing.
The loss cannot be fully estimated at
this time, but it will exceed $4,000.
As result OF this fire ii is thought the
town will be likely to carry out the wishes
of larger portion of its Inhabitants and
be incorporated as part of the city OF
Worcester.

THE FIGURES.

It is more than month since the DEM
ocrats of Rhode Island awoke to find
their candidates smothered under
an avalanche of ballots and
only five of the unterrified left in the
General Assembly. The election returns
published in the papers at that time were
sufficient to give a comprehensive idea
of the result, but they were not absolutely
accurate. There is always danger of mis-
takes being made in the trans
mission of returns by telegraph
or telephone. Therefore The
NEWS has collected from the records
of the town and city clerks, the actual
returns made by the wardens, and--s able
to give today the revised totals.
The new figures which have been care
fully compared with the returns received
by the Secretary of State and compiled by
the next Secretary, Charles p. Bennett,
are more favorable TO the Re-
publicans. Governor Browns plu-
rality is increased by nearly
three hundred votes, and all the other
candidates on the Republican tickets
have additions to their votes.
The revised figures are as follows:
