COMING ATTRACTIONS.

This evening William Barry. great
Scranton favorite will appear at the
Academy of Music I'm '"rhe Rising Gen
eratiOn," one of the best Irish Ameri-
can comedies ever seen in this city
Mr.. Barry's Irishman is the resultant
product of its associations. 1t does not
effect the unnatural sentiment which
so often spoils and discolors renditions
of such characters. There is no aiming
beyond the character. II is the COM
mon man raised through circum-
stances above himself; warm hearted
hasty of temper and not lacking in the
grossness which necessarily belongs
to such person. We see him on the
steps leading to his shanty thought
fully smoking his pipe and listening to
the singing of a group of boys, and we
recognize him in a dozen characters
whom we have met in every day life.
The musical members and specialties
introduced by members of the company
are up to date. The scenery, too, is
most attractive and true to life.
To-
The BLACK Crook" will be given in
all its glory at the Frothingham Satur-
day, matinee and evening. Every de-
tail will be most deliberately presented,
and the whole production will be given
on a most lavish scale. There will be
three grand ballets, the costumes of
which are beautiful. and the scenery
throughout is of a brilliant order. while
the specialties are of high class. The
revels in the Fairy Queens grottos will
be one of the many features. Clever
little Louise Montrose. who plays Car
line will head the specialties. 1t was
she who made such hit in this charac-
ter in the New York production. The
managers promise to eclipse all former
efforts in presenting this grand spec
tacle.

There is no more pleasing entertain
ment than that which Professor Rey

Reynolds completely controls his sub
jects, by his mesmeric mystery.

Tho Acids Of Fruits.

The grateful acid Of the rhubarb leaf
arises from the malic acid and binox-
alate of potash which it contains; the
acidity of the lemon, orange, and other
species Of the genus Citrus, is caused
by the abundance o. citric acid which
their juice contains; that of the cherry,
plum, apple, and pear from the malic
acid in their pulp; that of gOoseberries
and currants, black, red and white,
from a mixture Of malic and citric
acids; that of the grape from mixture
of malic and tartaric acids; that of the
mango from citric acid and very flu
gitive essential oil; that of the tama-
rind from mixture Of citric, malic,
and tartaric acids; the flavor of aspar-
agus from aspartic acid, found also in
the root Of the marshmallow, and that
Of the cucumber from a peculiar poi
sonous ingredient called fungin, which
is found in all fungi, and is the cause
of the cucumber being offensive to some
stomachs.
1t will be observed that rhubarb is
the only fruit which contains blnoxalate
Of potash in conjunction with an acid.
Beet root owes its nutritious quality to
about 9 per cent of sugar which it con-
tains, and its flavor is a peculiar sub
stance containing nitrogen mixed with
poetic acid.
The carrot owes its fattening powers
also to sugar, and it's flavor to pecu-
liar fatty oil; the horseradish derives
its flavor and blistering power from a
volatile acrid on. The Jerusalem arti-
choke contains 141a per cent of sugar,
and per cent Of inulin "a variety of
starch), besides gum and a peculiar
substance to which its flavor Is owing;
and, lastly, garlic and the rest Of the
onion family derive their peculiar odor
from a yellowish, volatile acrid oil, but
they are nutritious from containing
nearly half their weight Of gummy
and glutinous substances not yet clear
ly defined.-G. w. Johnson, in the
Chemistry Of the World.

south Dakota nnd ,1rrlrntlon.


The Dakota Farmer has issued spe-
cial irrigation number. By illustra-
tions and by reports Of actual trials it
Is shown that the most marvellous re-
suits followed successful irrigation. AC-
cording to all reports the supply Of wa
ter beneath the surface is unlimited.
1t is estimated that the 10000 square
miles in the area stated with a single
well on each section that is, 10000 wells
on the whole area, could be flooded an
nually to depth Of 30 inches, while
ten inches Of water supplied by bitches
is sufficient to mature a crop, for every
bit Of the water is utilized and none
runs to waste, carrying the fertile soil
Of the hills with it, as is the case with
rain water. The population that such
an area could support under such a
state Of cultivation almost exceeds
comprehension. Six million people
could have ten acres each, or one mil
lion could have sixty acres each, and
sixty acre farm under this intensive
cultivation would be as productive as a
section in state of nature.
This is by nozmeans a dream-picthre.
1t is believed to be possible, and that by
men who have given scientific study to
the question, and it has been already
realized in many places. The issue Of
the Farmer referred to shows that all
over the basin farmers are sinking ar
tesian wells and constructing large res
ervoirs in which to store the water un-
til the proper time comes for its utili-
cation. What was once a sun-dried re-
gion is becoming region of bitches and
lakes and ponds with vegetation and
fish and crops which do not depend
upon the uncertain clouds, but simply
ION the ingenuity and industry of man.
What relief it will be for farmers,
relief from anxiety in summer and
want in winter when they are no long
er compelled to look at the clouds.
That anxious, despairing look which
has been worn on the faces of so many
farmers during the past few seasons in
the trans-Missouri West will disappear
and give place to the look of content
ment and Joy. The people of Dakota
are not only applying the water from
these wells to farming operations, but
to power for mills, large and small,
for sprinkling purposes, lighting and
every want Of humanity. The same
we'll that raises the corn cuts it up
in the corn shredder or grinds the
wheat In the mills.

When Planting an Orchard.

Dig the holes the proper depth and
level at the bottom, and large enough
that the roots may be Strengthened to
their full length by the hand. The
roots should lie equally divided as near
as can be done. The proper placing Of
the roots has much to do with the
growth and beauty Of the tree. If the
roots are thrust into the ground
cramped, crooked, and without proper
care, the trees will grow in like man
ner, stunted, crooked and misshapen.
When the trees are placed in the hole,
the roots properly divided and straight
ened, little fine earth should be
shaken over the roots, the tree slight
ly raised so as to give the roots a ma
tural descent. The tree-top should in
cline to the west several inches, the
hole to be filled with fine earth and
firmly pressed, so as to hold the tree in
its proper place. The prevailing west
winds will soon bring the tree up to a
perpendicular position, for if you will
take the trouble to examine the orch
ards around you, you viii find nearly
all the trees leaning to the east. This
is caused by the strong west winds.
The ground is prepared, the trees Sc
leoted and planted, but your work is
not finished; care must be taken of the
trees and ground. The tree tops should
be well formed by proper pruning. The
branches from the trunk should be at
or as near equal distances apart as it
is possible to have them, and three
main branches or limbs are quite enough
to form beautiful head or top; if this
is done after pruning, no large branch
es will require to be cut or removed
from the trunk; without this precau-
tion at first pruning and forming the
top 1t is often necessary to remove
large limbs from the trunks, thereby
causing gradual decay and finally de-
stroying the tree. The ground should
be well cultivated and kept in good
heart, and may be profitably cropped
for several years with potatoes, tur-
nips, mangolds, carrots, cabbages or
any other root crops.-Wm. Gray.

half barrel with the head knocked out

ence more marked than in its mode Of
attacking the plant, and in this fact lie
valuable hints to the cultivator. 1t
has been assumed that because the
smut Of wheat and oats can be pre-
vented by immersing the seed in hot
water or solution of some fungicide,
the same method is applicable to corn.
But it is not true and for the reason
that the method by which the corn
smut attacks the plant is very unlike
that Of most of the other cereal smuts.
1t has been found out at the Indiana
Experiment Station that the smut does
not attack the plant through the seed,
but like wheat rust it starts in the
leaves and stems, wherever the spores
are carried by the wind and find lodg-
ment and sufficient moisture to enable
them to terminate. The spores will
grow as soon as ripe, that Is as soon
as the mass containing them turns
black, and they will also retain their
vitality for year or two in case con-
dltiOns for growth are not favorable.
It is evident from this that neither
the time Of planting nor the previous
condition or treatment Of the seed will
have any effect upon the amount Of
smut in the crop; and experiments al
ready carried out substantiate this de-
duction. It is equally evident that me-
neurological conditions will have de-
cided influence. But the farmer cannot
control the weather.
TWO things can be done to decrease
smut in corn. The growing crop can
be sprayed with a suitable fungicide
and the entrance Of the smut into the
plant prevented. That this can be
made effective is shown by the expert
ments Of the Indiana station. But it
is an expensive and troublesome
method. The other, more convenient
but less thorough method, is to gath
er and destroy the smut, and thus
eventually rid the fields Of it.
The best time to gather the smut Is
Just before the ears silk, when the
fields should all be gone through and
every sign of smut removed, being
careful not to scatter it upon the
ground, or in any way let the spores
get free. The gatherings must be
burned or deeply buried to certainly
destroy the smut. One or more later
gatherings should also be made. This
may be called clean culture, and if
persisted in for few years would re-
duce the annual production of smut
to an inconspicuous and harmless
amount. ]. G. Arthur, Botanist.

Monterey, Tenn, (SpeciaD-One Of
our prominent citizens here, Col. James
q. Jones, secretary and, treasurer of the
Cumberland Mountain Coal Co., is on

attributes the fact to his recent cure
from the tobacco habit. He was an.
inVeterate user Of tobacco for many
years, consuming so much as to make
serious ,inroads on both his purse and
his health. One box of No-To-Bac COM
pletely cured him, and he gained seven

three days after starting to use NO-'ro-

California Versus Missouri Fruits.

A leading grocer advertlses Califor-

peaches, California White Heath peach
es, California Bartlett pears, and even
California corn, tomatoes, cove oys-
ters, etc. 1t seems absurd that Mis-
souri, should use such vast supplies
from California, not only peach, pear,
cherry, but even tomatoes and corn,
and the same is true Of Illinois and
other states. These fruits and vegeta-
bles are produced in California on
costly land, with high priced labor,
enormous freights crossing the mount
aims, and yet 1t pays them. why not
Ozark peaches and pears, adding Mis-
souri, or Arkansas, as the case may, be.
and why not Missouri, Illinois, Ken
lucky and Tennessee corn and toma-
toes, as we'll as fruits. People of the
ozarks, Colorado and New Mexico are
beginning to wake up, and soon Cali
fornia will cease gathering all ..the
cream. We admire their enterprise but
we want to see more Of it in eYerystate
