that 1t would be entirely practicable
to move also all blocks Of grating
stock every three years. On the places
above mentioned this plan will be fol-

clude the possibility Of the San Jose

vice all the nurserymen visited (and
most Of the larger nurseries In the

thorough methods of fumigation. Thus,
while the first move will protect the

further protect purchasers Of stock.

been killed by the scale, yet the cherry
was uninfested; and in two cases that

Danger Of Another Famine.

The provisioning of those Russian
provinces which have been most af-
fected by this years mad harvest IS
becoming question of increasing Diff
ficulty. The assemblies or zemstvos are
now deliberating on the special and
urgent measures to be taken for saving
the population of the threatened dis
tricts from a repetition OF the terrible
sufferings which they underwent In
the last famine. There is general
agreement as to the necessity of lend
ing the peasants corn bought with the
special funds at the disposal Of each
of the provinces affected, but as the
needs Of the peasants greatly exceed
these resources the assemblies have all
decided to ask the government for
very large loans Of money.

ARrIFlclAl flowers.

Something About the Way in which
They Are Made.
The ancient Egyptians made artificial
flowers of horn shavings. stained in
various colors, and leaves of painted
linen have been found in tombs at
Thebes. From remote period the
Chinese have used the pith OF a GER
tain kind of bamboo for making flow
ers. Crassus, one Of the Roman tri.
umvirs, was the first in Rome to have
them made Of gold and silver. During
the middle ages flowers made Of metal.
satin. silk, wax and paper were used
In the Roman Catholic Church with
symbolical significations; on festal oc.
casions they were worn merely for or
nament. In 1882 Seguin. botanist
and chemist. began the manufacture OF
flowers in Paris, employing parchment
for the flowers and bristles for the
stems. His work was SO perfect and
artistic that the jealousy of some OF
the leading painters was aroused From
that time the manufacture of artificial
flowers steadily grew and developed in
France, and to-day the French excel in
them. The art was introduced into
England during the French revolution
by refugees who made use of it as q
means Of subsistence. 1t has been sue
cessfully naturalized in the United
States. Knives of various sizes and
shapes, stamps. goffering-irons OF diff

chief tools made use of in the manu-
facture. The leaves and the petals are
usually made of silk or cambric. the
material to be shaped is folded several
times. laid upon a leaden table. and a
stamp is driven through it. Goffering-
irons are made use of to hollow the
petals; veiners, as the name implies.
are used to vein the leaves. and the
burnishers are employed to give the
petals a polished appearance. The
stamens and pistils are formed OF wire
covered with silk; the stalk is made of
wire coated with a green material. and
is fixed to the stems and pistils.
around which are attached the petals
and, lastly, the calyx. Buds are made
OF cotton or glass balls covered with
silk or cambric. The florists fingers,
guided by skill and taste. have much
to do with the beauty of the flowers
produced: great ingenuity is often dis
played even in a cheap sprig consist
ing of several materials well put to-
gether and arranged. French whole
sale houses engaged in the manufacture
of artificial flowers have each some
special branch: thus. one makes only
roses, another wild flowers, a third
leaves, etc. The best and most expen-
sive flowers are hand-painted.

Long Island Cr.nherr.e..

The cranberry growers OF the east
ern end of Long Island are now har-
vesting the crop Of 1897, which prom
ises to be an unusually large one. The
berries are also very fine. being large
and sound and have an excellent flavor.
This section of the island has quite
number OF marshes. most all of them
being under constant cultivation and
growing large quantities Of berries.
Long Island cranberries always find
ready market and at good figure. The
price paid this year will undoubtedly
be at least SO per bushel. A cranberry
marsh needs little or no fertilizer. the
most essential point being to see that
the marsh is flooded with water at the
right time and drawn of with equal
precision. In consequence of this there
Is very little labor and less still OF
capital needed in conducting a cram
berry marsh after the ground is pre-
pared. the plants set out. and the
marsh is in growing condition. This. of
couse, Is expected during the harvest
ing period. when for the space Of six
weeks or two months the owner is busy
looking after his crop. The largest
cranberry grower on the island Is Syl-
vester N Woodruff OF Riverhead.
About twelve years ago he prepared
twenty-five acres Of seemingly value
less low land as cranberry field and
1t now yields as great profit as any
equal acreage in Suffolk county. This
year Mr.. Woodruff will spend about
$4,000 In harvesting his crop. while as
return he will secure upward Of 39,-

An assassin made an attempt upon
the life of the President of Mexico. He
was arrested and held in confinement
BY the connivanoe of the chief of po-
lice, mob gained possession of his
person and put him to death. Their
act of violence was intended as an act
of devotion to, and affection for, a wise
and good ruler. To the president him.
self the form of the compliment robbed
it of its value. It's lawlessness de-
feated his purpose to give the criminal
a fair trial. He held those who took
the mans life in a vulgar fury to be
guilty of murder. Accordingly he
caused the arrest of the chief OF police,
who, after confessing his f-ult, COM
mitted suicide in prison. Other per-
sons in authority. who had approved
or failed to resist the attack upon the
assassin. were promptly deposed from
office; and twenty-one participants in
the actual killing OF the man were ar
rested and held for trial. This is the
way President Diaz deals with lynchers
and their abetters. 1t is good way.
II emphasizes the fact that mob ven-
eeance. while it may seem an act Of
justice in the abstract, really defeats
justice and imperils society by its
method.

To the Editor:-The affairs OF Cuba

perfidious diplomacy to win where her
sword has failed. The offer of au-
tonomv Is device to change the pa
triotic sentiment of America. and to
betiay Cuba by false promises. In
this way she triumphed twenty years
ago. This time she must fail. Au-
tonomy is another term for imposi-
tion and fraud. The Cuban League Of
the United States has long since ex-
posed and condemned this hypocrisy.
Since then more interested forces have
men of Cuba repudiate it. The COM
manders in the field say "Independ-
