BOGUS PARIS GREEN.
1t Is Sold in Large Quantities to CalifOr-
MIA Fruit Growers.

III IL oOlu W
MIA Fruit Growers.
Mr.. B. NJ. Lelong, at tie meeting of
the State Horticultural society of Cali
fornia, is reported to have stated as fol-
Iowa:
I'm the past two years enormous
quantities of paris green have been
sold to growers, much OF which was
of very inferior quality. The results
were equahS GG 2aor, AMI many grow
trs have thus become pref d6iced against
it's use. Samples of paris green have
been examined with astonishing results.
Several samples, although of nearly the
same shade of color as the pure paris
green, were found to be mixture of
prussian blue and chrome yellow, clay
and chalk. Others were found TO con-
tain no Grsenious acid. In many cases
the fault lies with the fruit growers
themselves, for we have continually adj
vised them to use the pure article, which
costs 20 cents per pound. This advice
has been disregarded to a considerable
extent end the cheapest grades have
Teen Purchased, with little or no re-
suits. II was only last week that an ex-
rensive apple grower visited several
stores in quest of paris green, refused
the pure at 20 cents, and had large
quantity shipped to him NJ Az cents per
pound. You can therefore imagine the
results re will have."-Pacific Rural

Drlnk water Dor pI.ease.

It is possible to prevent many dis
eases and cure others by drinking large
quantities of water. An eminent French
physician says typhoid fever can be
washed out of the system by water.
He gives his patients what would
amount to eight or ten ounces an houf
of sterilized water. Experiments have
been made with diseases caused by bac-
terra which demonstrate the curative
value of water. In cases of cholera,
where the system secretes large
amount OF fluid, enormous quantities of
hot water are of great benefit and will
cure many cases without other medi-
cincs. One doctor says that perfectly
sweet, fresh cider, taken in large guam
titles, has been known TO cure diseases
of bowel complaint. The acid kills the
bacteria, which are speedily thrown out
of the system. Hot water In fevers is
of great use, and an ordinary tumbler-
full of water as hot as can be taken once
an hour Is one of the very best remedies
The important thing Is 70 get into the
system and out OF II sufficient
amount of water TO prevent the accumu-
lation OF ptomaines and toxins within
the body.--N. Y. Timea

PROTECTOR FOR TREES.
How to stake out Large Orchard with
Very Little Labor.

The cut shows a simple but effective
method Of supporting young trees, es'
pecially where large orchard is set. In
such case, the saving of little labor at
each tree amounts to a great deal in the
case of the whole orchard. The trunk
Of the tree rests in the angle between
three stakes, and is held there by strip
of cloth used as a string. The cloth is
twisted about so as to have fold of it
between the trunk and the stakes, to
prevent chatting. The three stakes are
bound together by a bit Of wire. The

WASHINGTON. July li.-rhc Even
Ing Star to-day says:
Assistant Secretary llnmlin, of the
treasury department, gave out n short
statement this afternoon In explanation
OF his position with regard to the DEM
ocrntIc platform and nominations. In
nsmuch us Mr.. 1iamlln represented tho
administration forces at Chicago, and
as he has been in frequent consultation
with Secretary Carlisle over the pollti-
cal situation since the adjournment OF
tho convention. the statement made by
him to-day will undoubtedly be accept
cd by many as scmi-oillclnl dcclQra-
tlon OF the position OF the sound money
men OF the administration. This i'm
preston Is strengthened by the belief
that Mr.. Hamlin has seen President
Cleveland since the adjournment OF the
convention. Ho spent several days Mt
Marion, near Gray Gables. on his way
bnck to Washington from Chicago.
The statement referred to Is MS fol-
lows; mo political issue Is involved In
the coming election. The question to
be decided Is far deeper and more vital.
The perpctulty of the republican insti-
tutIons has been threatened. Every 10y
al citizen should ally himself against
the forces which controlled the Chicago
convention: forces OF lawlcssneSs. which
are inconsistent with the maintenance
OF the republic.
'IIenceforth there should be no Re-
publican, no Democrat. but a union OF
loyal citizens against the combined
forces OF population and disorder.
When once this dangerous element has
been stamped out at the polls by nm In
dignant people. we can again divide and
discuss those political questions which
for generations have kept alive the two
great political parties"
