Spray Now to Prevent Ripe Rot

The most serious fungus, which has
made its appearance only the last four
or five years, is the ripe rot of the
grape. lit ape RS with the first
rains in fall, but have no doubt that
it's spores remain dormant the whole
year. and are only called into life by
the first showers. 1t spreads rapidly,
and damages especially the red wine
grapes, as it effects the color and
tannin. j believe that timely spray
ing with bordeaux mixture will prove
a preventive against this as against
the black and bitter rot In the east,
which we do not know here. AT least
it should be tried, and as it is both
cheap and expeditions, no one ought
to neglect it. The formula for the
mixture has been given so often that
/ need not repeat it here, and the
whole apparatus, hand pump with a
short hose and Vermorel nozzle, to-
gether, together with the ingredients
to spray five acres, which a man can
easily do in day, need not cost over
$40, labor and all included. Moreover,
it acts as partial fertilizer, and keeps
the foliage fresh and green. But the
sooner it is done the easier and more
complete will be the application -

Solution of the Problem.

Workingman, why are you out Of
work, or why are your wages so low !?
Why are your children half-starved in
the midst of plenty, or why is it that
forty per cent Of your class were more
or less dependent on the hand Of chart
ty during the past winter? The gold
lite press say that these things are due
to oyer-production of all the neo6esa-
ries OF life. Why then in The midst of
such over-production are yoa not slick
and well fed? These goldite organs
do not tell the truth. There has been
no over-production On the contrary,
what ails the country is under-con-
sumption You have no money to buy
with and therefore cannot consume 4.
The same is true of the farmer. He
has an abundance of !crops, but he
has no money. Consequently he has
no surplusage and cannot buy the
products of his own labor. If bimet-
alism is restored it will restore prices.
All admit this. This will give the
farmers surplusage and set the mills
and factories to work SO that YOU will
be able to find work again. The ques-
ton, therefore, arises at the coming
election, how will you vote? Will
you be blinded BY party ties and party
predjudices which are worn out, or
will you arise to new issues aud vote
for bimetallism. irrespective of party ?
This is the only solution of the prob
lem. Study it well. II is vital to
your interest as well as it is to those
of all producing classes Western

New Wedding Stationary.

Several changes in the style and
shape OF stationary pertaining to we'd
dings are noticeable this season."
writes Edward Clayton Staley in May
Ladies' Home journal. "a rather
large, almost square, note with an OBJ
long envelope takes the place of last
years octave size, for which square
envelope was required. The principle
reason for this reversal of sizes is that
the square note accommodates bette the
frequently long lines of names and
dates, while, by engraving the lines
slightly closer to each other, hand
some marginal effect is produced, one
that would be entirely lost upon the
narrower note. The new style of en-
craving is aplain script without -four
ish, small enough to enable all the
names to be spelled out in full )"
"Then the oblong envelope is not SO
slender as to be classed commercial,
and it admits of lettering effected by
women of society. The quality OF
paper remains the same as formerly
and is the white parchment or kid fin
ish, which under the pressure of the
printing rollers is rendered compare
lively smooth. The square or fancy
flap of the envelope has been entirely
superseded by the plain, modest point
ed one"

The st. Petersburg Gazette says
Russia has the oldest man on earth.
Its Moscow correspondent tells of him
thus:
"There appeared this week in the
office of the police surgeon an aged
man who wished to have his Injured

up the wound and then began talking
with the patient. He learned eventu-
ally, from documentry evidence, that
the man was born in 1857, during the
reign of Empress Elizabeth, and there

whose name is Kusmin, said he was
a native OF Moscow, and from his

sent to Siberia, where he had lived
until 1898. In that year he decided to

WHOM WILL THEY MARRY
Pennsylvania Girls Who Have
Taken a Solemn Vow Never
to Marry Men"

Ten young ladies belonging to the
best families OF the town of Baden,
Beaver county, about twenty miles
from Pittsburg, have organized boy
colt against the Young men of the
place. The girls have organized what
they call the "Trilby Club" have
vowed "never to marry men, and
won't even go with the horrid
things"
The cause of this strange action on
the part Of the ten girls is a grievance
they have nursed. 1t seems that the
boys of the town expected the girls to
make some use of their leap year pri-
vileges. The girls, on the contrary,
wanted the boys to be as attentive as
ever. The upshot was that indigna-
ton meetings were held, and ten OF
the most determined young ladies
formed the Trilby Club, and took a
solemn 0atn never 10 Weu.
Baden is far enough from this city
to depend on its own ability for enter
tainment. While the weaker OF the
girls go on as usual, the ten members
of the club have remained out of young
mems society. Instead, they hold
meetings al their own homes. These
meetings a member of the club de-
scribes as revels.. AT one meeting
they all dressed in their brothers
clothing. AT another they dressed
as ballet girls. One of the female

The Wickliffe Yeoman has found
a prophet in it's own country:
"Alex. Hall, of East Cairo, says we
are sure have to a rise in May that
will eclipse the late one. He says
he bases his prophecy on the ac-
tions of the fish during the recent
overflow. They went into the low
lands in the river bottom as far as
they could possibly get, and would
not stop for any ordinary o5struc-
ton in going from one pool to an
other, some of them crossing
stretches and drift and dry land
to actually surprising.
Alex says this is sign that never
fails"

Curious Disease.

Calvin Whitlow, of Allen county,
has been afflicted with strange
disease for twenty years. 1t has
bafiled the efforts of the most skill
ed physicians. The Scottville Cou-
rier gives the account Of the case:
"Mr. Asa Mitchell says when he
came to Allen county, twenty years
ago, he was at Mr.. Whitlow's house
and that at that time Mr.. Whitlow
was lying flat on his back with his
hands crossed on his breast, but
could not move his hands, and
could scarcely work his fingers.
He could see, talk, laugh, eat,
drink, and did not seem to suffer
any pain. The muscles of his arms
continued to draw until his arms
were drawn down by his side and
his hands fiat on the bed, and then
he could not even move his fingers.
About this time sight failed, and
since then he has been totally
blind, but his hearing was not
much impaired. A little later his
jaws became set, and his front
teeth had to be knocked out so he
could be fed with spoon. He can
drink soup or swallow chewed Wet
uals, and his stomach seems to be
in very healthy condition. All Of
his body except his head, lungs
stomach and heart seems to be
dead. A redhot iron touched to
any part Of his body would not
cause muscle CULVER. His fingers
and toes have crumbled off and
gone, but still lives and talks. This
is a most remarkable case. Can
some one name the disease?"

Germany pays bounty of about 4c
per pound on all domestic sugar ex-
ported, and is likely to increase it to
over &c per pound. This will enable
German sugars to be laid down in
American markets at prices 4 to &c
less than sugar from other countries.
In other words, Germany means to
capture our markets and crush out the

The most expensive factor in farm
ing is hired labor. Wages of farm
help are maintained at almost as high
a level as in boom times. Therefore
the great point in economical farming
is to get along with as little hired help
as possible With care in planning
the seasons campaign, and due judg-
ment IN laying out the work from day
TO day, one who uses the latest and
best methods and improved labor
saving machinery can do lot of farm
ing with an astonishingly small
amount of help. Here is one of the
easiest ways for the average farmer to
both save money and make money.
-
The steady advance in the price of
wheat during the past few months has
given a renewed impetus to wheat
farming on the pacific coast this sea-
con, and this branch, which has been
ianguishing for several years, has
stiffened up of late and the output of
grain on the coast promises to be
larger this year than for some years
past. There has been somewhat in
creased acreage in California, while
a very material increase is noted in
the wheat sections of Oregon, Wash
ington and other coast states. The
season SO far has been very propitious
over the larger portions of the Pacific
coast. While in some of the southern
California counties there has been a
shortage in the railroad, over the
larger part Of the state, and especially
Il III the wheat counties, there has been
plenty of rain to insure good crops !.
But little danger is now to be sppre-
hended from frosts, although in some
parts late winds may yet do damage !.
These causes, however, are usually
local and limited In lhev area.

Mckinley carried only five States
west of the Mississippi river. They
are: Iowa, Minnesota, North Da-
kota, Oregon and California. The
three last named gave him small
plurahties. Bryan carried fourteen
States west of the Mississippi
Washington, Nevada, Idaho, Mon
tana, Wyoming, Utah, Colorado,
South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas,
Texas, Missouri, Arkansas and
Louisiana. The area of these four.
teen States carried by Bryan, not
counting the eight Southern States
for him besides, amounts to about
one and half million square miles
OF territory, or nearly half the total
area of the United States, and il
we add to the Bryan territory, that
OF the five territories west of the
Mississippi, who have no vote for
President, but are overwhelmingly
for free silver, we have total
area of nearly two million aud a
half of territory or over two thirds
of the whole United States in favor
of free silver. Then if we add to
the Bryan territory that OF the
other eight States he carried, it
gives him three fourths Of the total
area of these United States in spite
of his defeat by Mckinley. Now,
