4 GENEROUS G4ME.

Many have wondered at the persist ency and skill with which the free sil- yer movement has been pushed, and have asked, Who has furnished the money to keep up the pushing? A lit- tie inquiry will reveal the fact that there are people in this country who can well afford to pay any reasonable expenses of a campaign for free silver
 At the Chicago convention there were some men very practically interested in making free coinage. independently of all other nations, the chief plank of the platform. Among these was Sena- tor John P. Jones of Nevada, who de- rives large income from milling the silver ores of the Comstock lode. Another was Senator Stewart of the same state, a multimillionaire, heavily interested in silver mines which have given him his enormous wealth. A third is Hon. Francis G. Newlands of California, manager of all the proper ties and funds of the great Sharon es- tate, whose vast accumulated wealth came from silver mining. A fourth was l.. B. Holden of Cleveland, Ohio, who made a big fortune out of silver mine in Utah. A fifth was R. C. Cham bers, general manager of the very profit able Ontario silver mine of Utah, who has been one of the most persistent sil- yer lobbyists in Washington, whenever there was any show for legislation in it's favor. A sixth was H T. Hauser, who is largely interested in the Granite Mountain silver mine, which, because of it's seemingly inexhaustibIe stores of ore, has been termed "the wonder of the country"
 It is estimated that with the hints of the United States coining silver to their full capacity, the annual profit to the mine owners would be about s2O. GOO. 900. This is sufficient inducement for the ex- penditure of large sums of money in the promotion of an investment So promis-

which was attributed (save the markD to pr. Papus. And here l should like to say, with all respect to M. Bois, that
 having known Papus for some years, l cannot believe him capable of so mean deed. Papus has always impressed one as most straightforward magi- elan, and think that M. Jules must be
 prejudiced against him. At any rate Abbe Boullan fell dead at his altar, the victim of an envoutement or of fit of apoplexy, and now the followers of Vintrasism are somewhat scattered. But Tilly-sur-Seulles, as place of pil- grimage, is none the less their creation, just as Etretat was discovered by Al phonse Karr and has since become the fashionable watering place that it is. The apparitions, whether diabolic or di- Vine, are connected directly with the work and teaching of those two strange mystics, Vintras and Boullan, the one protesting to be an incarnation of the prophet Eli. the other of John the Bap- tlst, two remarkable figures of latter day mystics, characteristic enough of modern France in one of her most curi- ous phases.-Pall Mall Gazette.

ELEcrRoLizED sALr WATER.

Electrollzed salt water meets a long felt want if what Dr. Julien Proger, chief surgeon of the Asylum for Deaf and Dumb Children at Asnieres, near Paris, and member of the Sanitary Council of the Department of the Seine, says is true. For four months he has been using is as an antiseptic, and has now laid the result of his experiments before the Academy of Medicine. This fluid is used in England as disinfec- tant in the Royal Victoria Hospital at Netley, and as a deodorizer for the main sewer of Ipswich, The inventor from the first has claimed for 1t power ful and harmless antiseptic properties, and several years ago supplied Dr. Car Her of Rouen and Dr. Chantemesse of Paris with bottles of it for surgical and medical purposes, The opinion they expressed was very favorable, and quantities of 1t have been supplied to persons suffering from wounds, sore throat, sore eyes. etc. It seemed to work astonishing cures, so Dr. Proger, who happened to hear of some of them, determined to make experiments with the solution In his communication to the Academy of Medicine he gives a technical report of his clinical experi- ments, and then sums them up by say ing; "The electrolized saline water is neither caustic nor irritating: it may be applied to the mucous membrane as to the skin; it instantly removes all bad odors; stops all putrescent fermenta- ton; kills microbes more effectually and rapidly than any other antiseptic; cleanses and heals fetid wounds and sores, and hastens healing; it is an ideal antiseptic." Dr. Proger further declares that he has used it with per- feet success in case of incipient diph- theria.

HOW TO FIGHT ARMY WORMS.

Methods of Warfare Suggested by the
 Department of Agriculture.
 Harrisburg, July 1O.-Within the past two or three days the Department of Agriculture has been informed that the army worm has been doing bad work all over the state, especially in the eastern and northeastern part of Ches- ter, Dauphin, Tioga, Bradford, Susque- hanna, Perry, Berks, Lancaster, York and Cumberland counties. Letters of complaint have also been received at the State college. At least 8 hundred specimens of cutworms have been sent to the Agricultural Department and some remedy asked, The department tonight sent out the following as the best method of dealing with the worm, the paper being prepared by Etate Zo- ologist Warren:
 ''The fully developed worm is a little over one inch long, of a gray or dingy black color, with black stripes and mar row lines of white on back The -r-der surface is of a more or less greenish color. The head is smooth and yellow ish, with two black lines running from top to mouth. It has sixteen legs, and those from the middle of the body are each marked with a shining black or blackish band. The worms. when dis turbed, curl themselves up like cut worms and drop to the ground. They complete their growth in about one

GOOD WE4rHER FOR CORN,

Next to the interest with which we watch the Boy Orator trying to har- monize his three nominations is the in terest we feel in the growth and pros- perity of corn. It has been a rather disturbing corn season At first it was Hectic" too dry. Then it was "lee- tle'' too wet. But for the last few days, in each of which it has been progress sively warmer on the coast, corn has hads a most elaborate and satisfying benefit Last summer all nature seem- ed to be constructed and carried on for thu good of corn. It has not been so this summer, but lately it has been evil dent that corn is not friendless. We congratulate it, and we remind those who suffer in good weather for corn that they are suffering in a good cause. We must have good weather for corn if we are to get the good out of corn that there is in corn which has had good weather for corn.

month, at the end of which period they burrow into the ground and each cater pillar changes to brown pupa. from which, in two or three weeks, the moth emerges. The female moth is said to lay about seven hundred and fifty eggs and these hatch in about six days.
 ITO prevent their spread, the best au- thorities recommend the moving of a wide swath around the invaded field then plough deep furrow with straight side toward the part to be pro- tected, and at intervals of a few feet make holes with crowbar or dig small pits into which the worms entrapped in the ditch will fall Where the number of worms is very great, and the ditch becomes partly filled, plough a second furrow, throwing the earth over into the first furrow. thus covering up the worms and providing second line of defence
 Some authorities recommend the use of kerosene sprinkled over the worms entrapped in the ditch, and thereby de- stroy them. Others use a slight cover ing of straw, which is set on fire, and accomplishes the same result. It is also recommended that ordinary fence boards be set upon edge, end ito end. across their path, and then apply a coating of tar or kerosene to this wood en barrier, which checks their progress. Some entomologists recommend spray ing of the grass ahead of the worms with poison. thus poisoning the forage on which they subsist For this pur- pose one pound of poison to one hun dred and fifty to two hundred gallons of water is a proper proportion.
 "The most effective method seems to be the constructing of ditch with the plough as stated, cutting the side next to the part to be protected perpendicu- lar and then attending to the destruc- tion of the worms as they are entrape1 in the -Philadelphia Press.

direction. This one was rough white straw, its low crown encireled with a band of black velvet that held wide double fiounce of violet and mauve cerepe lisse. At the, left side were a number of black quills and several fluff fly red roses whose heads lay on the brim and whose stems rose up over the crown. In back two red roses were placed beneath the brin, which was not turned up.
 High crowns are frequently seen on showy summer hats, some of which are of about the same size all the way up, while others are small at the bottom and widen surprisingly towards the top. Flowers and feathers mingle in the trimming of such hats, white os- trich feathers and pink blossoms being often side by side. Wheat ears and grasses are also much used The gene- head, and a decided tilt over the nose is not infrequent. The veil of all others that brings out the most color in the wearer's face is white net with black dots. Such are worn, too, by women who buy their color by the box, so there's a. drawback. A new trick of ty- ing employs a very wide tulle veil hat the ends being brought forward and tied beneath the chin. This is a pleasing method-for the observer but it's job to lift veil thus arranged.

 When the Cardinal Archbishop of Milan was invited to attend the unveil- ing of a statue of Victor Emanuel by King Humbert of Italy, he excused himself on the ground that he had ur- gent pastoral visits to make When the Archbishop of Boulogne was asked to attend similar ceremonial he simply took the train for distant city. These incidents raised anew the whole ques- ton of the relations of the ecclesiastical and civil authorities, and the Pope ap- pointed a Commission of Cardinals to investigate the whole subject. This commission in it's report has expressed the opinion that the Archbishop of Milan's refusal ought to have been more pointed in consideration of the nature of the ceremony to which he was invited. They then proceeded to say that while the Bishops should put themselves in harmony with the local authorities, with the object of main- taining their influence and organizing all their forces, yet they should careful ly avoid giving reason to suppose that they approve the present state of things, the supreme interests of the church requiring the restoration of the rights of the Pope. A few of the Cardi- nals thought that in view of the exist ing tendencies toward pacification, a milder tone might be adopted with ad- vantage to the church, but the majority held that the results obtained thus far were gained by firmness and that by adopting a conciliatory tone now all the prestige gained by long and patient efforts would at once be lost

Heretofore a man of 30 or woman of 25 has had to give three monthly notifications to par ents of a purpose to marry.

There are still wise men in the East. A rich merchant died. He had one son, who when quite lad had been sent to an uncle in India. On his way home the young fellow was shipwrecked. It was believed that he escaped drowning, though no tidirgs of him could be ob- tained. His father died, leaving his fortune to the care of an old friend, not to be handed over to any claimant un- til certain injunctions had been fulfill ed. At the end of year young man appeared who declared himself the heir; then a second and a third arrived on the scene. The guardian gave to each a bow and arrow and desired them to use the dead mans picture as tar get and aim at the heart. The first nearly hit the mark, the second drove his arrow home. but the third burst
