To Prevent Potato Seal .

The result of a series of trials OF
the corrosive sublimate treatment for
potato scab at the Indian station
are as follows: Potato scab is
caused by the attack of a minute
vegetable parasite. 1t chiefly at
tacks the crop through infected
seed material Fbe seed material
may be disinfected by immersion
in a bath of corrosive sublimate.
The corrosive sublimate solution
should be of the strength of two
ounce to fifteen gallons Of water.
The bath should be about an hour
and a half long, although some
variations in time is immaterial.
Cutting and planting is done as
usual. The result of the treatment
is crop essentially free from blem
ish and of great market value.
Sometimes a considerable increase
in yield results from the treatment.
The method is easily and cheaply
applied and is worthy Of extended
trial.

A SAD ENDING.
Driven Wild by Continued Poverty
Woman Suicides.

A sad story of poverty, continu-
ed disappointments and finally
death, comes from the Wallowa
country. The names of the parties
are not obtained, but the facts "9n-
cerning them are, and are l;, h
given:
About a year ago on L. ii
homestead in Pennsylvania, !, D.
py couple we're married. The f.. n
was small SO the young folks came
west to seek their fortune. They
located in the Wallowa country a
few weeks ago, after wandering
from place to place without strik-
ing a paying location and things
ran on from bad to worse until this
week when the young woman took
q revolver and blew her own brains
out.
This is indeed a sad story but
alas, too true, and yet if it was
known, hundreds of people today
are poverty stricken, among strang-
ers and know not where to turn to
make an honest dollar.

The following is an exact translation, by the
Philadelphia Record, from the Arabic of the
official prayer of Islam, which is used through
out Turkey and daily repeated in the Cairo
"Azhar" university by 10000 Mohammedan
students from all lands:
81 seek refuge with Allah from Satan, the ae-
cursed. In the name of Allah, the Compass
sionate, the Merciful! Lord OF all Creatures!
o Allah Destroy the infidels and polytheists.
thine enemias, the enemies of the religion! 0
Allah! Make their children orphans, and de-
file their abodes, and cause their feet to slip,
and give them, and their families, and their
households, and their women, and their chill
dren, and their relatives by marriage, and
their brothers, and their friends, and their
possessions, and their race, and their wealth,
and their lands, as booty to the Mosle ! o
Lord of all Creaturesp'
In all the other religions of even the semi
civilized nations of the globe there can be no
prayer found to parallel this cruel appeal to
Islam to the spirit of inhumanity. Bulgaria,
Damascus, Lebanon and Armenia may or may
not be mere hotbeds of anti-Turkish intrigue;
with such a national prayer Turkey stands
self-condemned before the world.

An Appeal That COMMITTED tho ssut-
epoe of n Convict,

One of the last official acts of Governor
Flower before he went out of Office was to com
mute the 20-year sentence of the convict John
Powell, whose real name is Moore Moore hos
been an inmate of Sing Sing prison since 1887,
charged with burglary. His accomplish in the
crime was William Mason, who also received
sentence of 20 years.
In the early part of tho winter of 1887 the
house OF D. ogden Bradley, at Dobbs Ferry, was
entered by burglars. 1t was after midnight
and Mr. Bradley and his family had retired
for the night Mr.. Bradley had been asleep
short time when he was awakened by some
one in his room. Upon looking up he saw a
man standing near his bed Mr.. Bradley
jumped from the bed and the thief ran out into
the hall, followed by Mr.. Bradley. AS Mr..
Bradley entered the hall he saw second man
waiting for the one who was in the room. Both
men dashed downstairs and out into the road
and disappeared. Mr.. Bradley quickly drew
on MS clothing and started in search of the
men, captain Mangn of the Yonkers police
'orce was informed OF the attempt to rob the
mouse and of the escape of the men. Early that
morning the two men were arrested in Yonk-
ers, and after trial in White Plains they were
each sentenced to 20 years Imprisonment in
Sing Sing prison.
Just before Christmas, Mr.. Bradley was sit
ting in the Office OF the Tarrytown National
bank, OF which he is tho president when az
well dressed woman entered the bank and
asked for him. She was taken into the room
where Mr.. Bradley was sitting She informed
Mr.. Bradley that she was the wife of John
Powell who seven years ago was caught in the
act of robbing his house. She said that her
husband at that time had become acquainted
with questionable characters and was led to
crime. She declared that his parents were re-
spectacle people, and that she also came from
a good family.
The woman gave her name as Moore, which
was also her husbands name, he taking the
name of Powell when he was arrested. The
woman told Mr.. Bradley that she had come TO
him for the purpose of asking him to intercede
in her husbands behalf for pardon. Mr..
Bradley considered the matter and decided to
communicate with the prison officials regard
ing Powell. Keeper Connaughton, of the
prison. said Powell had been good prisoner
Mr.. Bradley then wrote letter to Governor
Flower asking him 70 consider the application
of Mrs. Moore for the pardon of her husband
The governor refused to pardon Powell, but
committed the sentence so that his term would
expire April LIST Had not Powells term
been committed, he would have had five mora
years OF i'm prisOnment to serve.

All in the middle night, across the crystal hol-
low of the dark,
Before the black pines tempest-torn gigantic
glooms remembered morn,
Heard l. indeed strange music toss and beat
A bout the winds? And hark,
Were there no sweet and piercing cries, was
there no echo OF horn?
For what glorious company hung out OF
heaven before me there,
AS, leaning forth, along the height caught
the glitter OF their flight
From depths OF shoreless mystery what shapes
were these trooped down the air
Shooting white fire abroad, and clear their
splendor streaming on the night?
His casque whose ruby led the field was it then
Mars that swept and gazed?
In cleaning gauzcs yelled about were these
the Pleides looked out?
On corselet belt, and sword, and shield,
Orion's breathing diamonds blazed?
White and majestic, Sirius followed upon the
mighty rout?
And slowly out of dusky space, one, stately,
coming from afar,
The fullness OF some golden chord marking
the measure of his ward,
The whole OF heaven upon his face, was 1T the
bright and morning star?
Was it but Lucifer that wore the luster OF the
living Lord?
Or were they, bound in vaster flight Magnif-
cent Existences,
For ornaments OF unknown sky, that paused
moment fleeting by
Tho dark and dreaming earth that night?
only know, beholding these,
Held not my hand n Mightier Hand, an atom
of the dust were II -lscribners.

SILVER USED FOR SOUVENIRS.
The Decline In the Price of the White
Metal Taken Advantage of.

Metal Taken Advantage of.
1t has been noticeable for the last few
months that the intrinsic value of the souve-
Mrs presented at the theaters has increased,
and that many of them are genuine sterling
silver When the practice of giving souvenirs
was first begun. says the New York Times, an
illuminated programme, possibly satin one,
or statuette of some cheap material resem-
bling bronze, was considered quite enough for
the managers to present to their patrons; now
silver is not regarded as too expensive metal
to he mold ed into souvenirs, and the man
ayers make money out OF the enterprise they
display.
This change has been brought about, as one
of the leading managers said the other day, by
the steady decline in the market value of
silver, People who would have thought it in
excusable extravaganza two years ago to dis
play silver spoons on their tables are now able
to boast not only of spoons, but forks and other
articles of sterling ware which were formerly
beyond their means. Managers have been
among the first to take advantage of the de-
cline in price Of the metal which some fnan-
ciers are anxious to place on the same footing
as gold in our financial system, and they have
found.that many pretty souvenirs in silver can
be produced, on which they can make a
profit.
Some of these silver ornaments are very
pretty and serviceable, and take permanent
places among the bric-a-brac in the house
hold which the cheap statutes of former days
could never achieve. OF their genuineness
there can be no doubt for they bear the trade
mark OF silversmiths whose reputation is in
ternational. They are not cast aside by the
recipients, and they continue permanent re-
minders of the play and the theater, which the
cheaper articles did not.
