We are in receipt of Washington paper

We are In receipt of a Washington paper
containing an extended account of the work
being done by G. II. Hicks in the agricul-
tural department. He has recently been
through Ohio and Indiana studying the
clover seed business. Secretary Morton is
investigating the charges made by European
purchasers that the seed was full of foul
grasses, weeds, etc., and assigned the work
to Mr.. Hicks. showing that the ability of
our former citizen is highly appreciated.
From the article we take the following:
| Mr.. Hicks has charge of the new seed
laboratory at the Department of Agricul-
ture. He is engaged just now in testing
samples of red clover seed for the purpose
of finding out how the marketed article
averages in respect to purity. In this way
he discovers just what kind of weeds grow
| in the farmers fields and what proportion
the worthless seeds bears to the whole. The
processes employed are extremely delicate.
To begin with, enough of the seeds are
placed on a balance to weigh exactly ten
spread upon piece of paper, and every
weed seed and particle Of dirt is picked out.
The clean and good seed remaining are now
weighed again and the weed seeds are put
aside for examination and Identification.
From the good seeds are counted out 400
and these are placed between two thick
nesses of wet blotting paper. The blotters
and seeds are finally put into the germinat-
ing oven and record is kept to show how
many of them sprout aud how quickly they
do so. This test determines their vitality
and vigOr.
The terminating oven at the department
is the biggest seed hatcher in the world
1t is provided with large and shallow pans
across which are stretched wires. Between
the wires folds of asbestos cloth hang down
into the pans which are partly filled with
water. Seeds are put into the folds so as 10
be kept saturated. The device is extremely
simple and the economy of space is such
that the metal box which serves as al oven
will hatch hundreds OF thousands of seeds
at once. BY means of gas the air in the
box is kept at constant temperature of SO
degrees. Shelves in the oven serve to &C
comodate potts. saucers and other receptacIes
for holding earth. The cloth attached to
the wires already described is made of
abes,Os so that it may be cleaned by put
ting it into fire, all spores Of fungi, such as
are parasitic on plants and are apt to adhere
to seeds, being thus destroyed The seeds
tested may be terminated in the light or in
the dark, in water or in earth

Muscle and vigor-A Difference.

Many muscular men succumb to fatigues
borne with ease by persons far their interiors
In physical strength. Muscle does not i'm
ply vigor. In fact, it is not diflicultof proof
that athletes do not live as long or enjoy as
good health as the average individual who is
vigorous--that is to say, whose digestion
andssleep are unimpaired, whose nerves are
tranquil, and who has no organic tendency
to disease. These requisites of vigor are
conferred upon those inherently weak, no
less than upon those debilitated through
wasting disease, by thorough, persistent
course of HOstetter's Stomach Bitters, the

Property Rights Among Birds.

Birds and other creatures apporti on
the earth among themselves just
about as men does. A bear has
boundaries beyond which his fellow
bear does not trespass with impunity-
the wild rabbit you see on your lawn is
the same little innocent creature you
have been seeing every night all the
summertime-and even the robin
that gathers the early worm for his
breakfast from your garden will show
fight when another comes marauding
on his preserve. Nor does this last
a year only, for there is good evidence
that the same bird will come back to
the claim it staked off the year previ-
ous.-Meehan's Monthly.

COMES HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
DIR. LEE, THE EMINENT JAPANESE
SURGEON, WILL VISIT
OWOSSO.
The Afflicted Should Consult Him.

DR.. Lee, the japanese throat and lung
surgeon. has decided to make Owosso visit
and the afflicted should not fail to consult
him. OF him the Mt. Pleasant Democrat
speaks in the following complimentary
terms: "Durlng the doctors stay here he
has won the appreciation of all with whom
he has come in contact, demonstrating that
he is a thorough gentleman. That he is a
successful practitioner in the diseases of
which he makes speciality, viz, throat and
lung, is indicated by the numbers he has
treated since he came. While he makes no
pretentions to wonderful cures, neither per-
forms miracles, the fact of his treatment of
so many who havein turn sent their friends,
would indicate his popularity and merit.
AS a business man the doctor Is No. 1.
His dealings with the public have in every
instance been straightforward and manly.
The Democrat can highly recommend the
doctor for the qualifications outlined above,
and does so freely and without reservation,
and wishes him success in whatever new
Fl elds lie casts his line in the future"

in A JUNGLE STORM.
10 Is Something Terrible, because It
Cannot be Understood.

It Is Something Terrible. Because 1t
Cannot be Understood.
People who have never been in q
Jungle talk of the sky, as a painter
talks of the horizon or q seafaring
man of the offing-as If when you
wanted to see it you only need use
your eyes. But in the Jungle you
don't see the sky-at least, you only
see few scraggy patches OF it over
head through the openings in the
twigs and leaves. Neither do you
feel the wind blowing, nor get burned
or dazzled by the sun, nor even see
that luminary, except by momentary
glimpses about midday. From which
it follows that jungleman does not
usually pretend to be weatherwiso. If
he does he is even greater humbug
than the rest of the weather prophets.
On the afternoon about which we
were speaking l remember setting
forth on my walk in the still glow of
the tropical calm and wondering
rather at the intense stiffness of the
forest. Then the air grew cooler and
the green of the foliage in front
seemed to deepen, and presently there
was sound as of giant waterfall in
the distance. Waterfalls do not, how
ever, grow louder every second where
as the noise in front did so. Then
there was loud angry growl as of
dozen lions. A minute more and the
whole jungle began to roar as if fifty
squadrons of heavy cavalry were
coming up at a gallop. Then came q
drop of rain and a peal of thunder
which seemed to make the world stop.
Then the storm began. The sky
above darkened, the trees clattered,
the brushwood beneath Kissed and
bowed itself. A deluge of rain drops
blotted out the narrow view. Down
it came, soaking through the densest
leaves under which one fled for ref
uge, striking the grass and sand with
millions of dull thuds, dashing furious
ly against the leaves as if they were
so many hostile shields, streaking the
air with innumerable perpendicular
lines, and hurting itself down with the
force of bullets.
In such downpour one may as we'll
walk and get wet as stand still and
get wet. Unfortunately one did not
know where to walk to. The "cir-
cumbendibus system" presupposes the
fact that the wagon wheels and bull
lock tracks can be seen and noted.
But when the cart track is no longer
a cart track, but call turned to rush
ing waters" such tracks cannot be
seen; and unless you have O pocket
compass you may as well try to fly as
to get back to whore you came from.
When one reads of travellers lost in
the backwoods they always steer by
the sun-and probably very badly; but
when there is no sun what are you to
do?

This winter has been the most severe for
many years. North, South, East. West in

This will surely cause a great increase of
sickness and death. Chronic catarrh and
consumption always begins by catching cold
Thousands have started on the road toward
life time of misery from chronic catarrh or
a sure death from consumption. 1t is not
yet too late to be saved and restored to life
of health and activity. Pe-ru-na will do it.
1t never fails to quickly cure chronic ca
tarrh less than two years old. OF course
Pe-Iu-na cures thousands and thousands Of
chronic catarrh that have run for many
years, but of cases that are of more recent
origin it cures, quickly, certainly and per-
manently. Every case of cold or cough that
has resulted from the effects of our severe
winter could now be cured in sh0r. time
by Pe-ru-na. Not single one need fail.
All those taking Pe-ru-na who desire the
advice of DR.. Hartman about their cases
should write, giving age, sex, disease and

a few weeks treatment now will prevent
