THE EVIDENCE OF AN EXPERT RE-
GARprNe pAREsIs INTRODUCED.
The Instructions Submitted without
Arsument-The Opening speech for
the Prosccution-~Wili Probably TO
TO the Jury Tonight.

BERRYVILLE. April 15.-(speciai)-
The public, thinking that the argument in
the trial OF w. y. Page Tor forgery
would commence this morning. crowded
the courtroom at the opening OF court.
The defence stated. however, that they
desired 10 reopen their case. and put on
the stand DIR. Conrad. OF Winchester.
formerly superintendent of the Western
Lunatic Asylum. in stanton. The entire
forenoon was devoted to the examination
Of DIR. Conrad. az an expert on the sub
ject OF paresis. Witness stated, I'm reply
TO a hypothetical question put to him by
the defence. covering all the facts the
defence considers proven. that he would
consider such man as was described
in the question a paretic. The instruc-
tons. which were numerous and covered
all the law usually given the jury in
similar cases. were submitted without
argument.
FOR THE PROSECUTION.
r. T. Whiting. Commonwealth's

exhaustive statement OF the evidence IN
the case. He insisted that the guilt OF the
accused had been fully proved thereby.
and referred 20 Pages confession OF
the forgeries Ct the names OF w. +. Rex,
II. o. Allen. and A. Moore, Jr., as tending

Mr.. Whiting was followed by Conrad

inspired by malice and vindictiveness to-
wards the accused. He had entered upon

odorless Flowers.

One who has taken walk through
Shaw's garden will hardly believe the
assertion that the majority of the flow
ers of the world are without odor, but
such is the case Take the flora of Eu-
rope as an illustration. Four thousand
and two hundred species and varieties
of flowers have been named and CLASH
fed by the botanists of that country,
and it has been found that less than 10
per cent of the whole give forth distln-
guishable odors or have perceptible
colors The very commonest flowers OF
the world are white, colorless varieties
predominating by at least one-third, and
only one sixth of that class are odorifer-
GUS. In Europe there are l, 1914 species
of white flowers, only 200 of which are
fragrant. In the same country they have
951 kinds of yellow flowers, of which
number only n are odoriferous. Out OF
823 varieties of red flowers they only
have "a that give forth odor, and in .
of these "the smell is far from being
fragrant. A." OF the 594 blue species only
"a are fragrant and Of the 30S violet
blues only ID. Next week we will give
mote" entitled 1.-The Odor of Flow
ers," which will give many curious
points in that branch of botanical
knowledge. st. Louis Republic.

One department is under cover and is
filled with assorted fruits, including
oranges, lemons lines, pineapples,
pears, peaches. plums, bananas, ounces,
alligator pears, oocoanuts and many
other tropical fruits, most of which,
owing to the high market tax and costly
transportation, sell at about New York
prices. The streets and sidewalks in the
vicinity are lined with men, women and
children, who are seated on the ground
surrounded by their market products,
which include, besides the ordinary
vegetable market product, parrots, pl-
geons, unweaned puppies, game chickens,
pet lambs, battered pigs and kids. Then
there are heaps of old iron, blrdcages,
cheap calico, brass jewelry, boiled corn,
potatoes, stewed pumpkins, beans, pep

The following is taken literally word
for word from rare copy of the Brigh-
ton (England) Advertiser of June 9,
1897: ga rare phenomenon is reported
from ST. Malo. Recently during the att
ernoon, between the hours of and 8,
three perfect suns were seen all in a row
above the western horizon. The sky was
very clear at the time. and there was no
one who saw the unusual sight that be-
lieves it to have been a mirage or other
atmospheric illusion. The central
seemed more brilliant than his two lu-
minous attendants, and between the
three there seemed to be communica-
ton in the shape of waves of light COM
posed of all the prismatic oolors. At
about the same time rainbow made
its appearance at short distance above
the central sun, upside down-that is
to say, the two ends pointed toward the
zenith and the bows neck toward the
horizon.

Ten thousand pounds of green prunes
per acre. or $500 pounds of dried, is a
conservative estimate. Twenty bushels
of wheat, or 200 pounds, is large
estimate per acre. The farm value of
the prunes this year is $3.50; the farm
value of the wheat is $15. Our California
peach orchards will show as many pounds
green as of dried prunes, with half the
dried product of prunes worth this year
5000 per acre. We have low prices for
fruit at times, but never down to cost Of
production. There never has been time
when good fruit we'll handled and cured

Vegetable Dropsy.

Some experiments at Cornell univer-
sity have aroused much interest on ac-
count of the development of what APP
pears to BIO form of plant dropsy.
Tomatoes grown in the warm, moist air
of the forcing houses had leaves that
were swollen and semitransparent. The
swelling continued until the veins OF
the leaves burst and considerable liquid
flowed out This was caused by toe
much water at the roots and an over
supply in the air. The leaves were not
able to give off the water supplied from
the roots and stalks, and the congested
condition of the leaves and subsequent
bursting of the veins was a true type
of dropsical condition. New York

The Sleep of Horses.

When the horse sleeps, it is said that
one ear is directed forward, why is not
known. A writer in The English Me-
chanic thinks this is to guard against
danger, being survival of their origi-
nally wild habits. He says: Watch
horse asleep through the window OF his
stable and make faint noise to the
front. That ear will be all attention,
and probably the other will fly rounc
sharply to assist. Now let him go tt
sleep again and make the same nols'
to the left. The forward ear still vii
keep guard, with possibly lightning
flick round, only to resume its forme
position"
