More important probably than elimi-
mating the thorns ON trees and bushes
is the determination of Objectionable
seeds. The seeds of oranges, grapes,
pears and similar fruits are no longer
absolutely necessary for the production
of plants and trees. Nature slowly
and grudgingly relinquishes her right
to mature seeds-the secret that she
has guarded so carefully for perpetu-
ating many of her choicest species.
Before horticulture was reduced to q
science most plants depended upon
the seeds for their existence, but in
these modern days, when budded and
grated stock gives more satisfaction
than seedlings, they are superfuous
to degree. We might not be able to
get along without any seeds, for seed
ling stock must continue to be raised
so long as fruit trees are in demand,
but, as all choice stock is budded or
grated. the seeds of our leading
varieties of oranges, lemons, grapes
and apples could be easily dispensed

The extraordinary spectacle of a
dead man walking about the streets is
what the people of Jackson, Mich.
have been treated to the past few days.
The dead man is, or from a legal
point of view was, Frank Townley. In
1864 Townley, while a resident of
Jackson, enlisted in the army and
served until the close of the war. Then
he went to Dakota and some time later
to Alaska. Nothing was ever heard of
him at home, and in 1898 his relatives
applied to the Probate Court to have
him declared dead and his estate di-
vided. This action was finally taken,
his death being dated in 1885. On a
recent Sunday Townley returned to
his childhood's home, after an absence
of thirty-three years, and was sur
prised to find out the state of affairs.
He visited the court and examined the
records of his death and the disrosi-
ton of his property. Although he
breathes, moves around, eats and
sleeps like any ordinary individual,
Townley is in the eyes of the law q
dead man, and what is more, has been
dead for twelve years past.

More and more American manufac-
turers, according TO the Philadelphia
Record, are showing a disposition to
invade markets heretofore deemed in
accessible. Six iron and steel manu-
facturers of Pittsburg and vicinity
have formed company to go into the
British markets and seek trade. They
have opened offices at Pittsburg, and
the company is capitalized at $11O,-
600. The backing, it is stated, is
sufficient to guarantee any amount as
soon as an increase in business shall
demand it. A London agent has been
appointed, and an attempt will be
made to transact business in India,
South America and Japan. A spe-
cialty will be made of cotton ties,
hoops, bands and other manufactured
products.

New Fancy In Embroidery.

A new fancy of the women whose
eyes are as strong as their fingers are
deft is fan embroidery. This delicate
work is for the expert fancy worker
only, and, although very fine and very
tedious, is said to be proportionately
fascinating. The fans are usually of
gauze las the worker scorns silk and
satin as unworthy of her skill, and
the designs are both delicate and in
tricate. The material is placed in a
frame and the finest of needles and
silks are used. Exceptional surety of
touch and unerring taste in colors are
absolutely essential. In the Watteau
designs these fans are unusually love-
ly, but, except as examples of skill
and patience, are useless and wholly
supertiuous follies. Painted fans are
so extremely dainty and nowadays so
common that these pieces of feminine
industry and sight-destroying needle
work are to be deplored rather than
praised. The ieweled and spangled
fans can be made by any girl who is
fond of unnecessary work, and the
sewing of glittering sequins at random
over bit of gauze, or the placing of
pearls or jet beads in even rows, is q
strain on neither eyes nor mind.

Fifteen years ago Carrie Burch was
a servant girl in California house
hold where William F. Hastings was
also employed. The girl became ill
and had to leave, but had no money.
Hastings loaned her 5000 and she
went away, The years rolled by with
out the 5000 being returned, and
Hastings had forgotten the occurrence
when he received n letter from bar
rister in London stating that an estate
of $73, 600 had been left him by a Mrs.
Hall, formerly Miss Carrie Burch, OF
California. Hastings could hardly be.
lieve what he read, but he has the
money now, and for his generosity to
a strange girl years ago he has become
independently rich. When the girl
left California she went to Australia as
a nurse and there married retired
English merchant, who died some
years afterward, and the widow then
returned to London and lived there
until her death.

Lightning Disproves q Proverb.

Lightning may never strike twice in
the same place, but there is consider.
able evidence to the contrary. Mr..
Query and his hired man were haul
ing hay on a farm near Wellington,
when a thunder storm came up. A
stroke of lightning dropped in the
vicinity and nearly knocked the men
and horses down. Mr.. Query said to
the hired man: "That came mighty
near knocking you and one of the
horses over" "Itwould take harder
lick than that to knock me and old
Bailey down, responded the man, and
the next instant bolt struck him ON
top of the head, dashing his brains
out.-Kansas City Journal.

The establishment of lightship on
the outer edge of the famous Diamond
Shoals of Cape Hatteras suggests to
the New York Times some considera-
tions about lighthouses. 1t is gen
orally known that an attempt of no
small Importance was made to build n
lighthouse on the Diamond Shoals. A
contractor constructed caisson at a
great cost and caused 1t to be towed
out to the required point, but the seas
overwhelmed it and it went to the bot
tom and was lost. The Diamond
Shoals are famous for their constant
rough weather, and they lie, as sailors
would put it, "slap in the fairway'
from New York to Southern ports. 1t
was necessary that some kind of q
guide be put there, and it has been
found that lightship answers the re-
quirements of commerce A much
needed lightship is that which has
been placed ten miles south of Fire
Island Lighthouse. and in the path of
steamers approaching this port from
France to Great Britain. Many per-
sons, doubtless, will wonder how a
hghtship can take the place of a light
house, for almost every one knows
that the former cannot be seen as far
rs the latter, because it does not throw
as powerful light. The popular idea
is that lighthouse is situated on
some dangerous spot which its light
enables the mariners to see. This is
greatly mistaken idea. Alighthouse A
as of almost as great value in the day.
time as it is at night. 1t is merely a
landmark by which the mariner shapes
his course. A ship coming from Eng
land, for instance, steers so as to sight
Fire Island Light, and, having done
80, by processes known to the naviga-
tor she ascertains her distance and di-
rection from it, and then steers to
sight Sandy Hook Lightship. This
BAng the case, lightship is almost MS
useful as lighthouse. 1t is true that
the latter enables a vessel to keen
further away from danger than the
FORMER, but lightship will make it
possible for her to keep several miles
away, and that is al that is necessary.
In the case of Fire Island the new
tightship is extremely valuable, because
it lies directly in the beaten track and
enables navigators approaching this
port to verify their position with g1eat
certainty. The same is true in less
degree of the Diamond Shoals light
vessel, and the difference in cost be-
tween placing her there and placing q
lighthouse is very large.

cRoP.OESTRoYlNc CARP.
Two-Acre Field of BucIwheat Eat
by Fish.
Some years since Farmer Woodw

Some years since Farmer Woodward,
of Great Bend Township, Pennsyl-
vania, secured quantity of carp from
the Pennsylvania Fish Commissioners.
Making pond in his pasture, he
placed the carp in it and waited
patiently for the grand fishing days to
come.
He had not long to wait. In three
years he was catching three or four
pound specimens. He supplied the
neighborhood and gave to the poor.
Visiting fishermen carried six-pound
carp back to the city, and Farmer
Woodward's carp pond became famous
throughout all this section.
The fish multiplied wonderfully, and
it was not long before starvation faced
them. They found the natural supply
of animal and vegetable life in the
pond inadequate. To supply their
needs they gradually commenced to
! make incursions into Farmer Wood
wards garden, near by. They ruined
it in week. The farmer boys killed
scores of the fish with clubs, but for
every carp killed ten came to the
funeral and remained long enough to
dine.
Last week Farmer Woodward and
his family took advantage of u cheap
excursion to New York, during which
time the carp made general exodus,
tens of thousands strong, and, work
ing their way gradually through an
acre of stubble, invaded q two-acre
field of buckwheat, and in two days and
nights removed every vestige Of the
crop, leaving the ground as clean as if
a company Of Graders had passed over
it. A hard rain followed, and the
gorged carp remained in the field to
enjoy it.
When Farmer Woodward returned
home on Saturday and beheld the ruin
he set the farmhands at work with
clubs and axes upon the black, moving
horde of fish and slaughtered wagon
loads of them. Woodward says that
he will secure enough fertilizer in
the deal to recoup him for the loss of
the buckwheat crop.-New York
Press.

have seen q few fur-t trimmed
dresses, green tweed and Persian lamb
being one of the best, writes Ellen Os-
born, of New York. A theater party
that burst into restaurant the other
night for supper brought some good
gowns. One, of fold rose silk, was
slightly trained. A band of jeweled
lace insertion edged the skirt behind
and ran up on either side of the front
to the waist line. Across the bottom
of the front was u line of sable. The
blouse bodice of old rose velvet was
cut with large square yoke of silk
outlined with the jeweled insertion.
The yoke was prolonged into epaulets,
edged with sable. There was high
collar of unique shape made entirely
of insertion and standing in flat ruff
file of old rose ribbon. The large hat
of old rose velvet was trimmed with
feathers.
A second costume was of fawn-col-
red cloth, with the lower part of the
Ikirt sprinkled with irregular spots of
green velvet. A green-velvet blouse,
eorselet belt and sleeves of cloth and
Spoke hat of brown felt, faced with
green and trimmed with outstanding
feathers, completed the outfit.
A pink-face cloth dress was charm
ing. Its skirt was trimmed with bands
and bars of golden brown velvet. The
bodice was tucked round and round
and was finished with velvet belt and
tabled, collarlike top of brown and
pink figured silk. This also had vel

When he went 10 the white house a

administration Indeed, IL Is said by
those who were thrown in close con-

the rebuke more keenly the morning
