Grating of Plants.

All gardeners know that curious
plants can be produced by grating, and
to the country it is no extraordinary
sight to see tree bearing two kinds
Of plum or pear as the result Of it. Mr..
A. w. Sutton of the great seed estab-
lishment at Reading has lately describ-
ed in the Journal Of the Royal Horti-
cultural Society a number of interest
ing experiments made with tomato and
potato plants, these two being botani-
cally related to one another. A potato
tuber was planted, and when it had at
tanned the height of a few inches above
the soil, the stem was cut off and a to-
mato graft was combined to it. AS a
result, the composite plant produced 4
crop Of potatoes at the roots, while the
foliage above ground bore a crop Of
tomatoes, nourished by the potato
roots. The process was then reversed,
potato graft being introduced upon
tomato stalks. The tomato roots did
not produce potatoes, but the potato
plant above ground first threw out po-
tato flowers and berries, and afterward
produced tubers from the axis of the
leaves and stems. In this case the des-
ignation Of the potato as Il pomme de
terre Is evidently Observation-Disclosures

A SHORT CURRENCY DIALOGUE.

Learner-Dr. Socrates. can get bet
ter watch today for $50 than | could
twenty-five years ago for 500. Is that
not because the old watch was made
by hand, while the new one is made by
machinery?
Dr. Socrates Silversaipc-By no means,
most simple youth. The true reason is
because the value Of gold has doubled
since 1873, and the value of products
has been halved.
Learner-Well. my mother bought a
sewing machine twenty-five years ago
for S125, and yesterday she bought a
much better one for $50. The seller said
that since the patents had expired and
there was no royalties to pay, sewing
machines had fallen greatly in price.
/ suppose that was true.
DIR. Socrates Silversnipe-By no
means. The seller had never read Coin
Harvey's works, or he would know that
the fall in the price of the product was
caused by the demonstration of silver,
and that the royalty had nothing to do
with the matter.
Iearner-Well, grandpa bought a pair
of nice, new boots yesterday for 50.
He told me that when he was married
his boots cost him $50, and that he car
ried them in his hands to the brides
house and then put them on. he said
that the use of machinery was the cause

DR.. Socrates Silversnipe-Your grand
father has not read the works of the
wise men, Bland, Vest and Coxey and
Mary Ellen Lease, so he is an illiterate
goldbug 1t is really shameful that he
does not know that machinery had no
relation to the boots, but that the fall
in price was caused by the Crime of
1872
Learner-I noticed that Deacon Giles
had closed his distillery and the deacon
told me that on account of over-pro-
duction the profit on whisky was so
small that all the distillers had agreed
to make no more for some time. Was
he right in saying that the market was
over-stocked?
DIR. Socrates Silversnipe-No! Deacon
Giles is an ass, or he would see clearly

Helm for the Farmer.

Maj. Mckinley seems to have struck
a responsive chord in the minds and
hearts of the people when, in one of his
speeches, he suggested that there would
be more sense in opening the mills than
in opening the minis. This is q short,
terse and common sense presentation of
the difference between the sound-money
people and the free silverites. Maj Nc
inley said in a recent address to dele
cation of farmers:
Free silver will not increase the de-
mand for your wheat or make single
through the factories. You will not get
them by increasing the circulation of
money in the United States; you will get
them only by increasing the manufactur-
ing establishments in the United States
No matter how free the coinage Of
silver be- that or any other coin must
get to the people through some natural
channels. The government will not
even under the control of the most revo-
lutionary and anarchistic Populists,
make a free distribution of silver They
only propose that the government shall
coin whatever is brought to the mint,
for the individual who owns the metal.
therefore to get the benefit of free and
unlimited coinage, it will be necessary
for the farmers to get bullion, and how
shall they get bullion any more easily
than coined silver! What they want is
market for their products. Increased
demand can follow only increased con-
sumption, and increased consumption
will only come after increased general
business, particularly increased ,nanu
factures. The policy suggested by the
Popocrats, namely, Independence of
Europe and reputation in a measure
of our obligations to Europe, is not
likely to increase our foreign commerce.
1t is not likely that with the repudia-
ton of. our foreign indebtedness, our
foreign exports of cereals will be vastly
increased. Such a policy on our part
would show such an unfriendliness that
the nations of Europe would prefer to
import wheat from South America and
meats from Australia, than TO have
anything further to do with the Amcri-
can people. The farmers of this coun-
try will come to see, before next cleo
ton day, that we are not independent
of all the world. They will realize that
Europe binds us in our obligations TO
system that is at least honest and fair
if not friendly. The hope of the farmer
lies in a revival of business, and also
in increased expectations of our grain
The farmer is not, therefore, indepand
ent of the old world, but must deal hon
estiy with it-St. Joseph CIo.) News.

The Contract Had Expired.

Rufus Lockwood was genius in his
way and was probably one Of the best
lawyers in the State. Lockwood went
distinguished lawyer and the author
of the consolidation act which is now
in force. Halves had a reputation for
close figuring and Lockwood knew 1T.
He said: Mr.. Halves, I'll hire myself
to you for one year from date at a sal
airy of sos a day, payable every night"
"All right" said Halves, delighted to
engage, the services of the brightest
mind in the State at so low a figure
for the salary was not great one in
those days-and the bargain was seal
ed. 1t was II o'clock in the morning.
But from that time on, it is said. Halves
never missed an opportunity of remind
ing Lockwood Of his bondage. He
would say in the presence of others:
Lockwood, go and fetch that book"
Lockwood, go and fetch this or that"
ETC. Lockwood never said a word, but
did as he was hidden, and Halves en-
joyed his triumph.
Finally it came to the day when the
years engagement terminated. There
was a most important lawsuit on hand,
which Lockwood had made q careful
study Of; no one in the State could pos
sibly have handled it as he did. Well,
on the day in question Lockwood stood
in court. an array Of court books in
front Of him, and eXpounded his views
in mastery fashion. Suddenly he look
ed up at the clock and saw that it was
the hour of II. Closing the book from
which he was quoting, he turned to
Halves, who was sitting beside him,
and said: "Mr. HAYES, a year ago to-
day at this hour / contracted to work
for you one year. Ny times up, the
contract is Cancelled and l am going"
Thus did he repay his master for the
humiliation heaped upon him. Halves
was in the greatest CONSERVATION; he
could not possibly take up the thread
of the case where Lockwood had left
it and he begged and implored him to
proceed. But Lockwood remembered,
and he turned deaf ear to all per-
suasions. He kept his word; the con-
tract had expired.-San Francisco Bull

Bryan's New Theory.

Since his advent in Ike Bluegrass re-
gion of Kentucky, Mr.. Bryan has pro-
mulgated new theory in regard to gold.
He told his audience at Maysville that
SO much Of the yellow metal was used
in plugging decayed molars, and in the
manufacture of engagement rings, and
for use in the arts, that after consuming
the residue for bi-chloride of gold solu-
tions to counterfeit the Jag habit, there
was none of the metal left for money.
This is remarkable statement from a
man who is continually preaching the
woes of the gold standard. Recently
Mr.. Bryan declared that all the gold
was being manufactured into crosses
whereon to cruelty the workingman, but
now he has changed his tune. Accord
ing to this Maysville speech, the people
are so well-to-do that they can use up
the entire product of our mines in arti-
cles of personal comfort. and are so

1t is. rather early to speculate on the
probabilities and possibilities of next

Wheeling, but two fans" have sent a
communication to the Register asking
for information on the matter AL
though several disastrous attempts
have proved cOnclusivelv that this city
does not care for foot ball, there is no
other form of sport which does not have
it's enthusiastic devotees in Wheeling,
and for many years the city has had
the reputation OF being one of the best
base ball communities Of it's size in the
country. The National game received
a black-eyc here last summer how
ever, and it is this fact which causes
the uncertainty as to the future.
"Will the Interstate, or some other
League, covering the same locality, be
organized next year? And if it is. viii

These are the interrOgatOries OF the
Register reader. 1t is extremely prob
able that a league VIII be formed OF
clubs representing cities in Western
Pennsylvania and Eastern Ohio. One
Of the causes of this years failure was
the big railroad jumps. Another
cause was the business depression, in
which base bail suffered with every
thinC else. There are a number Of cit
les from which q strong organization
might be formed. without the necessity
for paying all the gate receipts to the
railroad companies, among them
Hf

each city.
Washington viii not have profess
siOnal base ball next summer. Baron
McKeown. who was in Pittsburg
few days ago, and stated this as a
positive fact. He said. however that
he has reserved all his players, and is
after the Saginaw franchise. Some of
the cities named are as attractive as
Saginaw from a base ball point OF
view. and Mr.. McKeown, with whom
base ball is q diversion rather than
business. might be induced to take the
franchise for some Ohio town. Ianes-

mer a strong semi-professionai club

Wheeling, in spite of the reverses Of
last season. offers q good field for base
ball investment. 1t is not likely that
the present management would place
a club i'm a reOrganiZed Interstate Lea
cue. but an enternrising manager
would need very little outlay Of money,
and with a good team would be certain
