Iron Tonic For Orange Trees.

c. W. Prescott Of Highland, who took
the medal for the best box of packed Or
Rnges at the late California State Citrus
far. has been experimenting with iron
filings in his young orchard. Being
master mechanic of the Santa Fe system
in southern California at San Bernardo
no, lie knew more about iron filings than
he did about g0ano or any other fer
tilizer, and knowing that i certain
amount of iron i'll the soil was essential
to healthy growth Of the tree and the
production OF fruit he Pat five pounds
of this material around each tree, and as
a result he has highly colored orange,
where before he had pale colored fruit.
The cost is insignificant. A thousand
trees on ten acres will require 5000
pounds of filings, which costs s. per ton
$40 Tor the ten acre orchard. OF course
this application of iron is not intended
to supersede all other fertilizers, but
simply to supplement them i'll order to
give a good color to the fruit and enable
the grower to put an attractive orange
on the market, and incidentally to assist
him occasionally in winning a gold
medal The railroad shops at San Bcr-
nardinO can furnish one ton per day Of
this material, and other shops can also
assist i'll supplying the demand.-Pro-

In obtaining alumina from clay, ac-
cording to Heibling, supposing clay of
o known strength in the alumina, for
each molecule of the latter there is in
corporated with the clay three molecules
Of ammonium sulphate and an almost
equal weight of neutral potassium sui
phate. One molecule Of the latter is
theoretically sufficient, and the whole is
well worked up and made into hollow
bricks, these to be baked at 270 degrees
to 2S0 degrees. The ammonium sulphate
is then decolnposed into acid ammonium
sulphate and ammoniacal gas, which
may be collected in a condenser. The
acid Of the ammonium sulphate is first
thrown upon the neutral potassium sui
phate, which becomes acid sulphate,
and the latter at this temperature, in
presence of alumina and clay, is neu-
tralized by the alumina, forming double
aluminium and potassium sulphate-i
e., alum. The bricks are then extracted
by methodlc hxiviation, and the silica
may be used for cement. The alum is
freed from iron by recrystal and
the solution may be treated for the pre-
cipitation of the alumina by means of
tho ammonia which has been distilled
off To obtain the alumina in granu-
lated state it is spread out upon stages
in tower traversed from top to bottom
by the hot moist ammonia obtained ON
baking the bricks.

In lecture that Professor Wang re-
Gently delivered at Vienna he gave some
extremely interesting details regarding
the migratians Of birds, all Of which
migrations resemble one another in two
respects: They follow tho. most direct
line southwark, and are made with al
most incredible rapidity. Numerous OBJ
servations have been made ut Helso-
land, which is the principal halting
place Of birds Of passage from northern
countries, and Of Egypt, which is the
winter home Of many, and these obser
vations havo established some facts hith-
erto unknown The bluebirds traverse
the 400 nautical miles which separate
Egypt from Helgoland III single night,
which is at the rate of more than 40
geographical miles per hour. The swal-
lows speed is over 2Is miles Per min
ute, or nearly three times that OF the
fastest railway train. Even the younger
birds, @ or weeks old, accompany the
others in their journey.
Professor Wang asks himself what is
the impulse which causes the birds. aft
er the brooding and molting season is
over. to quit our nothern climate. He
does not think it is fear Of cold-for
many species quite as delicate as those
which migrate southwark easily with
stand the rigors of the winter-but that
they have an irresistible humor for
travelling. This is his idea of the fact.
but he can give no explanation.

Distinguishes Him.
A modern ball at the palace O. the
Elysee, in Paris, where the president OF
France lives, is an extraordinarily bril-
J Liant and picturesque sight, for, besides
tho military trappinss and gold braid of
the army officers and the exquisite, del
icately tinted toilets and elaborate colt
fures of the FrenchwOmen, there are the
varied "habits" of the many members
of the diplomatic corps. These uniforms
alone are sufficient to furnish a brilliant
mass of color and elaborate display.
Described in detail and according to
their nations, they are these:
France.-A coat Of dark blue. EN-
broidered with gold ornaments and
leaves.
Russia.-A green tunic, embroidered
| in silver and figured i'll lilac.
Germany.-A dark blue coat, em-
broidered in gold and faced with gold
ornaments.
Austria-A coat of green cloth, en-
broidered with gold acanthus palm.
England-A coat of dark blue, also
embroidered with an acanthus palm OF
gold.
Italy.-A coat of royal blue, embroid-
cred with golden leaves.
Spain.-A coat of blue, embellished
with gold leaves and ornaments.
Portugal-A coat of blue with golden
leaves.
1t should be remembered that the rank
of o diplomat is shown by the embroid-
cries that adorn his uniform. The high
er standing he has the greater the
amount of gold that is upon his person.
ambassadors and ministers plenipoten-
tiary have their collars and cuffs, their
breasts and the facings of their pockets
set off with golden thread. The secre-
taries of embassies and the various COLI
sui generals have just shade less of
adornment on their uniforms.
From an ovcrplusaSe Of gold lace the
other extreme is reached i'll the conven-
tional evening clothes Of the American
ambassador, who appears a solemn and
marked figure in the gay assemblages i'll
his relief of somber black and white.

dinary evening clothes, cut in the con-
ventional style, but their white shirt

Philadelphia Gentlemen Drank In . Way
to Astonish Their Descendants.
Among Americans up to 1855 the use
and abuse of strong drink were almost
universal, but it certainly affected their
health less injuriously than at the pres
ent time. The worry and strain of mod
ern business and social life shatter
nerves now and lead to dram drinking
to repair them. On the contrary, most
Of the excuses in the old times came
after a solid dinner, and three or four
bours were spent in rest and convivial-
ity, but the amount drank was enor-
nous. When the exchange was COM
pleted, in 1892, a dinner WIS given, and
there was some apprehension that the
wine would run out, and we'll known
broker on the committee expressed his
surprise, as the company had not aver
aged more than three bottles apiece.
This would be thought very large al
lowance of strong Madeira in these
times.
In 1853 the final audit Of the accounts
of the United States bank was complet-
ed, and Oh behalf Of tho government
James A. Bayard of Delaware, John
NJ. Mason and q Kentucky gentleman
named Dukes appeared. 1t was q mere
formality, as the matter had been settled
ten years before. John Young acted as
clerk. The party met in the northwest
chamber Of the bank building-now the
custom house-at IL O'Clock. A bottle
Of brandy and six Of Madeira were on
the table, and after a short inspection
| Of papers the Wine was opened, and by
1 O'Clock was drank The day was
warm, and a bowl of bishop was order
ed, and this was made by the servant
with the brandy and a flask of Curacao.
| This was drank, and the three COM
mitteemen went to dine with Charles j.
Ingersoll about O'Clock. They returned,
bringing a friend. A dozen Madeira
and whist We're i'll order until 12, when
tho last bottle was drank, and then
| Prosser, the cook, brought in cold ducks
and mighty lobster salad. A gallon
bowl of brandy punch was made as con-
| ducive to digestion. A tumbler of this
finished the clerk, who went to sleep
and was aroused at daybreak to drink a
cup of coffee, and then all went down
the steps and walked away in the fresh
morning air, none the worse in appear
ance from the nights potations.
1t is apparent that in a life like this
it was the survival of the fittest. The
steady ones carried off the honors, but
gout, gravel and dropsy played havoc
with the others, and these complaints
were charged to port and Madeira by the
doctors, and SO the habit of drinking
claret and light wines came into fashion.

many fortunes Of old Philadelphians dis
appeared in this way.-Philadelphia

The first shot in the late war was fired
by the cadets of the South Carolina Mil
itary academy, which occupies spacious
and formidable looking builains called
the Citadel, which was originally con-
structed for an arsenal. The Organizsi-
ton and curriculum are similar to those
of the United States academy ut West

was adopted the cadets We're ordered to
report for guard duty and were manning

tempted to enter the harbor with sup
plies and re-enforcemcnts for Fort Sum-
ter. The impulsive boys took the re-
sponsibility Of driving her back, firing
q shot across her bows to give warning.
The steamer Immediately ran up the
United States flag aud increased her
speed. The shots fell thick and fast
around her, and when one struck her in
the stern the commander thought it
prudent to retreat and turned his vessel
seawarl. The cadets Of this institution
believe that act entities them to the
homage Of the south, and the prestige
thus acquired has made them the objects
of envy throughout that whole section.

forty years of double murder, slrs
Hetty Good, an old woman, wher
confronted with the terrors of death
confessed to the crime committed In
her youth. Mrs. Good lived in Bow
mansviile a small place near here,
and was S5 years Of age No shadow
of suspic'o ron OF an awful crime had
ever rested upon her and in the eyes
of her neighbors, she was an unsus-
pected woman. For several years
past, Mrs. Good hal been slowly dy.
ing of consumption, and knowing
that her end was drawing near, and
probably harassed by the agonies OF
remorse, on Monday of last week, cat
her throat Her attempt at suicide,
however. was Il failure, and several
days more of life We're given to her
in which to suffer After her at
tempt at suicide, Mrs Good asked
that William Griftiths, who formerly
lived at BOwmansviiie. but who is
now a resident of Mohrsvi!ia, Berks
county, be sent for. Gcifiitbs is said
to have been Mrs. Goods iov.r forty
years ago when she was fair young
woman and to have b.en the father
of Lar illegi.imate child. Griffi,hs
obey ed the summons of his old sweet
heart and to him Mrs. Good confess
ed that she had bsa:cn out their
baby's brains and bu. led it in the
yard of her house.
The unnatural crime of irfanticide
was not the only one that restei up
on Mrs. Good conscience. On Tues
day she sent for Rev. John Horning,
a Mennonite preacher of Bowmans-
vile. and t, him Mrs. Sod confess
ed that she had killed her grand
mother, Mrs. Hutchinson by coward
ly and secret means OF poison. Mrs
Good said the crime Lad been COM
mitted with the full knowledge and
consent of her grand father, Mr..
Hutchisor, as tho woman was old
and decrepit and 10 the way.
After makirg her confession of her
grandmother's mother, Mrs. Good
grew rapidly worse and died last
Friday. The details of the confes-
sion only reached here TO day and it
is rumored that ther. will be other

grandfather, whom she accused of
being n partner with her in the death
of his wife, died several years ago.

Interesting Information About an Indus
try Of Considerable Magnitude.
There is but small amount Of wood
IN broom, but SO many millions OF
these implements are used every year
that the consumption of wood for broom
handles is q considerable item. While it
would have been almost impossible to
sell broom handle made Of heavy hard
wood a few years ago, ut present tho re-
verse is true.
The manufacturer prefers hard wood
because it does not require so large a
bolt, can be turned down smaller and
yet retain sufficient strength and can be
ornamented more cheaply and artistical-
ly. Broom swith hard wood handles sell
more readily and do not deteriorate in
appearance like the soft wood handles.
Any kind of inexpensive hard wood,
such as beech, birch, maple OR ash,
makes acceptable handles, while springy
woods like elms are not salablc, be-
cause one essential of a good broom is q
straight handle.
The manufacture of broom handles
can only be made profitable when the
0AAhoSi luis i'uSeiy Cleau. LII tue eastern
states the timber waste in making broom
handles exceeds 90 POI cent, while in
the southwest it is usually less than %
per cent. There are four factories in
Amsterdam, N. Y, one of which has a
capacity of 1,2OO finished brooms day.
They use hard wood handles from the
south and west and get them for less
than the bolts ready for the lathe can be
furnished from native hardwood.
The handles are turned green and
dried afterward. The large end on which
