THE greatest diving feat ever
achieved was in moving the cargo OF
the ship Cape Horn, wrecked off the
coast of South America, when a diver
named Hooper made seven descents to
a depth of over 200 feet, remaining at
at one time 40 minutes under the
water. An authority states that the
greatest depths to which q man has
been known todescend does not exceed
22o feet, which is equivalent to a pres
sure of SST pounds to the square inch.

Raupenlelrn and Dsndrolene.

These new insecticides are insect lime
or glue, with which to paint the bark
Of trees TO kill insects or keep them
from climbing. "Raupsnleim" is a
German product-the other is q sub.
stance made in America Both are made
from crude petroleum. The former has
something like coal tar added. Itcan be
painted or daubed on trees and remains
sticky for a long time According to
bulletin 8 Of the New Jersey station,
at New Brunswick, when either Of these
substances was painted on peach trees
early in the season, it killed of the bor-
ers entirely. It win probably protect
apple, ounce and pear trees from the
attacks Of either the round or fat headed
borers.
In the latter part Of May, after scrap
ing or the loose bark, q coating at least
ree-sixteenths of an inch thick is ap-
piled to the trunks from the ground TO
the branches. This will form surface
that will kill any insect that alights
upon it. A band painted around the tree
will probably prevent climbing insects
from passing over it. It is also recon-
mendsd as protection against mice and
rabbits, or even for shade trees that are
gnawed by horses. It will not dissolve
In water, or wash OFF by rain, according
70 the bulletin quoted.

Fruits to Supply a Family.

The question Is often asked, "What
shall / plant In order to obtain q full
supply Of fresh fruit for q family the
year IOundP" 1t is difficult to give
q precise list, as in some seasons the
crop may be many times greater than
in others; and again, some will bear
abundantly and others will fail in the
same season. The following, however,
viii serve as an approximation:
The earliest fruits, about the first of
summer, will be strawberries. A Selec-
ton Of the most productive sorts, well
cultivated, viii afford about one quart
q day from each square rod for q
month. Three or four square rods
will, therefore, give an abundant sup
ply for family. Four or FIVE hundred
plants will be sufficient for this extent
Of ground. These will be followed
by earliest cherries, and by currants,
raspberries and gooseberries. Two
dozen bushes Of each Of the four best
sorts of currents, the same number Of
rsspberries, and two dozen of goose
berry, will, if well cultivated, furnish
an abundant supply. One dozen cherry
trees will be enough. Two or three
dozen bushes of the blackberry viii
supplys quart q day for some weeks
toward the close of summer. AprICots,
early apples and early pears, and few
Of the earliest plums, will commence
the season of abundance which, with
the later varieties of these fruits, will
last till near winter. Winter apples
and pears, and all the good keeping
varieties Of the grape, win continue
enc supply until spring. Long k0sR.

Why Farm Products are Cheap.


The Texas Farm and Ranch says:
EARN products are cheaper than ever
before In the history Of this country.
This may be good for those who farm
not, but consume farm products
Taxes are higher than ever before, and
this may be good for those who pay no
taxes, but consume the tax money in
salaries and official fees. Is there any
hope that these things will changer
Not until those who sreto be benefited
by the change take the bull by the horns
and make the change. The office
holder, the money-lender and the spec
ulatOr will make a change for the
worse, if they interfere st all with the
present order. It is useless to look to
the present race of politicians for any
Rmeliorstion Of present conditions; but
on the contrary If the past is q criterion
for the future, these fixed charges will
be unhxed, and re.srrsnged on a scale
Of still greater extravaganza. Office
holders are to be enVied, at least for
their worldly prospects, but hardly, If
at all, for their showing in the presence
Of the judge Of the quick and the
dead. What do they know about hard
timesP AS rule, their salaries are
higher than before, and every dollar Of
1t will buy more of the deprecated
products Of labor than It ever would.
They are all right financially. Taxes
are hard to pay, perhaps, but they
must inexorsbly be wrung from the
people, though 1t takes two or three
times as much Of the product of labor
to settle the bill-so much the better
for the tax. eater. And the fault Is not
entirely with the Office holder. Hewss
made that way and owes his position
to political factor which ia entirely
in sympathy with him. The remedy is
for good citizens to assert their supram.
sCy at the ballot box, and not to leave
1t to be manipulated by those who use
it as a sponge to sop up the substance
Of the people. If times are hard, and
money scarce, and economy necessary
let the scaling down extend all along
the line"

CLARA Barton Wants Aid.

Clara Barton, of the Red Cross So

'Hubbell, in charge OF the Red Cross
Relief Expedition, at Marash, reports
April -: Three thousand sick OF
typhus, including the English Consul.
On the 18th he reports: Sickness
at Zeitoun increasing, with 40 or Sc
deaths daily. Great and immediate
need for funds. General condition
of relief work favorable"
The National Armenian Relief
Committee in giving out this appeal
from Miss Barton, calls attention to
the fact that not one-hfth of the $500,
900, needed, by the lowest calcula-
ton, to carry on the work CT the Red
Cross Society in Asiatic Turkey, ha:
yet been given. Unless the destitute
people are aided until the next croT
is secured, all the money thus fal
spent through the various agencies
will be practically thrown away, and
thousands will perish by pestilence
and starvation.

without doubt there has been too
much over-work or strain on brain

for such a condition is plain and SIM

SO that the nervous system, and in
fact all the organs will be fed upon
pure blood. Intelligent people with
out number have testified that the
best blood purifier, nerve tonic and

Thoughts on Spring.

Some thoughts on spring are not
fit for publication.
Spring is the season when poets
and livers get out of order
If you have fannels to shed, pre-
pare to shed them in July.
The well known poetical reference
to spring as an ethereal mildness
was promulgated long before the in
PRODUCTION of the weather bureau.
Spring poets are the best propaga-
tors of pulmonary complaints.
Spring, ghastly springl
Even a spring chicken is a delusion
and snare.
If the robin is really sign of spring
he ought to be ashamed of himself.
In these latter days, billiards are
the only genuine harbingers of
spring"
That "tired feeling" incidental to
spring is greatly aggravated by reading
spring poetry in one column of
newspaper and the weather report in
another.
In the spring a young mans fancy
lightly turns to thoughts of cough
mixtures.
The most effete monarchy of mod
ern times is the one presided over by
the May queen.
Frailty, thy name is spling.
Spring by any other name would
not be nearly SO deceptive.
Possibly it is because spring is the
youth of the year that it is SO disa
greeably fresh.
"Sweet spring, full of sun and
blowing roses"-sore throats and
blowing noses.
Spring, gentle spring, get thaw on
yourself-New York .SaR.
