Grating of Plants.

All gardeners know that curious
rlanss can be produced by grating, and
to the country it Is no extraordinary
sight to see a tree bearing two kinds
Of plum or pear IS the result Of 1t. 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 q number Of interest
ing experiments made with tomato and
potato plants. these two being botan;-
cally related to one another. A potato
tuber was planted, and when 1t had at
tanned the height Of a few inches above
the soil, the stem was cut OF and a to-
mato graft was combined to 1t. As
result, the composite plant produced q
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,
a potato graft being introduced upon
tomato stalks. The tomato roots did
not produce potatoes, but the potato
plant above ground first threw out Do
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 pomme de
terre Ia evidently misnomer.-Leisur

Why Women Are Afraid OF Mice.
In all ages women were supposed to
be more prone to superstition than
men, and who knows but the dread
Of woman on the appearance of a
rat or mouse may not be due, in part
AZ least, to an ancient superstition
which has travelled down the ages
from the time when our remote fore
athers believed that rats aud mice
we're the souls Of the departed?
Numerous are the stories which
made the ancients believe that souls
we're rats and mice. and some of these
stories are very curious.
'1n Thuringia, at Saafeld," says
Barring Gould, "a servant-girl fell
asleep while her companions were
,helling nuts They observed little
red mouse creep from her mouth and

The Contract Had Expired

Rufus Lockwood was genius In his
way and was probably one of the best
lawyers In the State. lockwood went
at one time to Horace Hawes. a very
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. Hawes, I'll hire myself
to you for one year from date at a sal
ary Of $25 day, payable every night"
"All right" said Hawes, delighted to
engage the services Of the brightest
mind In the State Mt SO low a figure
for the salary was not a great one In
those days-and the bargain was seal.
ed. 1t was IL 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 Hawes en-
1oyed his triumph.
Finally 1t came to the day when the
years engagement terminated. There
was a most important lawsuit on hand,
which Lockwood had made careful
study Of: no one In the State could pos
sibly have handled II 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. Suddenl; he look
ed up at the clock and saw tnat 1t was

which he was quoting, he turned to
Halves, who was sitting beside him,
and said: Mr.. Halves, a year ago TO
day at this hour l contracted to work
for you one year. My times up. the
contract Is Cancelled and am going"
Thus did he repay his master for the
humiliat ton heaped upon him. Hawes
was in the greatest consterna ton; he
could Dot possibly take up the thread
Of the case where Lockwood had left
1t and he begged and implored him to
proceed. But Lockwood remembered.
and he turned a deaf ear to ell per-
suasions. He kept his word; the con-

any friend or acquaintance brought there
By Hanbury. He was a well-received
freouenter Of the house, and though the
relations between him and Miss Ashton
had not been announced, they were un-

Before knocking at the door Hanbury

Hamburg introduced him to her mother.
There was no exaggeration in his bow

quickly, more firmly, and then threw 1t
up and held 1t back, looking around him
with hard, naughty eyes. To Hanbury'a
astonishment Leigh appeared quite at his
ease. He was neither confused nor in
solent.
As Hanbury saw Dora approach and
meet Leigh, he was more struck than be-
fore with the extraordinary likeness be-
tween her and Edith Grace.
Was she still angry with him? She
showed him no sign of resentment or for
giveness. She gave her eyes and atten-

gathered vaguely that this girl, who was

providentially to be in the same train and
paid the fare for her.
What he heard left little or no&m-

All his attention was fixed in wondering

not until Leigh and he were in the street

Hanbury turned round and gazed at

was the hurry OF eloquence in his words,
and the fash of enthusiasm in his eyes.
This man was not an ordinary man, ply
sically or intellectually. Hanbury in-
stantly altered his mental attitude to-

DEMOCRATIC SILVER FORCES.
They Are Gathering In Chicago Prepara-
tory to Their Coming Work.

CHICAGO, June 30.-The leaders of
the Democratic silver forces in the vari-
Gus states are beginning to gather pre-.
paratory to their first meeting, which
will be held in the Sherman House in
this city under the auspices of the BIZ
metallic Democratic national commit
tee.
The meeting is not to be of as general
a character as has been supposed. 1t
will be composed in large measure of
representatives of the bimetallic COM
mittee, which was organized in Wash
ington last August, and there will also
be present other leading silver Demo
Gratis, to whom invitations have been
especially extended.
These meetings will probably be held
daily until the beginning Of the con-
vention and possibly while the conven-
ton continues If there appears to be &C.
caSion for them. The general purpose
of the meetings is to exercise a super
visory care over the interest of the sill
yer cause i'll the Democratic convention.
The conference was decided upon two
months ago, when the silver people
were not so sure of being able to control
the convention as they now are, and
when they considered it possible that it
would be necessary in the protection of
their interests to keep an eye upon the
proceedings of the national Democratic
committee. 1t was considered import
ant at that time that the silver people
should have a perfect understanding
that there would be no doubtful moves
made i'll the convention or elsewhere.
Now they profess to feel so sure of
their ground that they do not longer
feel the necessity for such caution.
Among the matters to which they do
propose to give their attention are the
contests for seats in the convention
made by silver men, and the selection
of temporary chairman of the conven-
ton and possibly later to the prepare
ton of platform, and if necessary the
selection of candidates
