THE HOME AND FARM.

Sheep have it in their power
to increase the demand for mutton by
improving the quality Make it SO good
that people will have it,
Alcohol dissolves c~hlorophyl, the
green coloring matter of plants, and
grass stains can be easily removed by
treating them with an alcohol bath.
Many an acre produces its 500 or
more in grapes, and yet many farmers
do not grow them for family use, pre-
ferring to let the odd corners and
hooks grow up in weeds and bushes.
Why not have some competent man
legally appointed in every community
TO spray trees and destroy insect pests
and fungus diseases, taxing each man
for the number of trees grown? The
thrifty man would then no longer suffer
from the habits of his negligent neigh
Dor.
Roses do not grow from ripe wood
cuttings made in the fall, but if the
canes are twisted or wounded and then
layered in the summer they will start
rootiess or form a callous at the wound
ed point, and in the fall they can be
taken up and buried for next springs

Human Hair Growths.

Prof. Exner, of the Vienna Medical
society, treating of the functions of the
human hair, remarks upon the ome
what curious fact that writers have
hitherto occupied themselves mainly
with speculations as to the circum-
stances which have led to man becom-
ing denuded of his hairy covering-the
hairs, however, being not only degen-
Grated organs, but having also to full
fill SOM functions. There is a group,
says the professor, such as the eye
lashes and the eyebrows, for instance,
which are s~ensorial organs, possessing
tactile functions, and, moreover, serve
as a protection to the eyes; and in
places where two integumentary sur
faces are in contact, they act as rollers
and facilitate the gliding of the inte-
gumentary surfaces on each other.
Further. there is no doubt that the hair
of the scalp protects the head against
external cold, and also prevents the loss
of heat through very low conductivity
of the hair cylinders and of the cushion
of air intermingled with them.-Chi-
cago Inter Ocean.

SCHOOL AND CHURCH.

Rev. Henry Rupp, the oldest act.
we clergyman in Illinois, now in his
n~inety-third year. is still strong and
vigorous, and breaches every Sunday.
The golden jubilee of Beloit col
lege win be celebrated on June "a.
A bust of DR.. Aaron Lucius Chaplin,
who was president of the college for
sc years, will be unveiled, and adj
dresses will be made by many distin-
guished men.

leased Rev. DR.. C. C.. Hall from the pas

of Brooklyn, and in doing SO adopted
resolutions testifying to its %apprecia-
ton of his qualities as a Christian gen.
tleman. his devotion to high scholar
ship and to truth, and of his unbroken
fidelity as a preacher.
I'm a glowing speech commemora-
tive of Queen Victoria's long lease of
power, DIR. Parker, of London, de-
cIared the other day: I'VE do not
celebrate the queens long reign, but
the queens good reign" With a fine
independence, DR.. Parker added: I'VE
owe much to the queen, but the queen
owe much to US. Let her close
her splendid reign by restoring to God
the titles Head of the church and De
fender of the faith" This passage
was greeted with loud cheers.
The impracticability of some pious
souls is well illustrated by a converse
ton which once passed between DR..
Creighton and another English bishop
regarding a man for whom they wanted
to do something. The bishops spoke
at length about his virtues, and detailed
his good qualities, they considered
what he could do and what could be
done for him, but at last one of them
heaved a sigh and remarked: "He is
as good a gold, and he will go to
Heaven; but he is no use"
Rev. DR.. William Il. Milburn, the

ABOUT POSTAGE STAMPS.

Newfoundland is to have a new issue
of stamps of seven denominations.
Selling stamps is an old business. A
ST. Louis firm advertises 1641 varieties
of stamps, catalogue price s131.O5, for
$50 cash! This is a confession that the
stamps are ~catalogued at four times
their actual value.
As a result of the recent'destruction
of large quantities of Hawaiian stamps
by the authorities in Honolulu, there
by setting at rest the possibility of
their being put upon the market, it
would not be surprising of Hawaiian
stock should experience a slight boom.

D AND ADVICE

Never buy a stocking that is lot lon-
ger than the foot. Shrinkage is an al
most certain result of washing and q
short stocking is almost as bad as q
short shoe.
Never wear shoes with leather sole
Innings. White cloth is far better and
more comfortable. The same law holds
with stockings white sole is far
ahead of a colored one, so far as com-
fort is concerned.
Fancy iron work which is out Of doors
may be kept from rusting by simply
applying a thorough coating of mutton
tallow. The same remedy is good for
any metal that is exposed to dampness-
Nothing has a worse effect on h
complexion than standing over a hot
fire. To avoid this effect rub a bit OF
cold cream over the face before going
near the fire. This protects the face
from the heat and dirt. When done
working over the fire wipe off the cream
with a soft flannel cloth.
Flowers that are kept in wet sand
will keep longer than those kept in
clear water. Put them in a vase, then
pour dry sand among them until h
vase is three-quarters full. After the
sand is in fill in water till it stands
above the sand. Add fresh water every
day, never allowing the sand to become

n RUIZ CLAIM

To be Turned Over to Minister Woodford
for Presentation to the Madrid Foreign
Office.
WASHINGTON, July 9.-The state de.
partment officials, after a week of hard
work, have completed the preparation
of our case in the prosecution of the
Ruiz claim, and after receiving the ap.
proval of the president it will be-
turned owe to Minister Woodford for
presentation to the Madrid foreign
Office when he sails from New York on
the 2Sth inst. In the preparation OF
this case Mr.. Calhoun, the United
States special com missioner, has con.
tributed the principal part, but the
law officials of the state department
have'done much to present the facts
collected by him in the strongest light
and establish good basis for the claim
of indemnity, originally fixed at $780,.
600, which is to be urged against the
Spanish government.

A MATTER OF U

The President May Not Send His Proposed
Currency Message-At Any Rate Not for
the Present Prominent Senators and
Representatives Believe that Final Action
on the Tariff Bill Would be Delayed
Thereby.
WASHINGTON, July 9.-The proposed
message of the president to congress
recommending the appointment of a
commission to consider the question o.
a revision of DUR currency and national
banking laws will not be transmitted
for several days, if it goes in at all,
which is a matter of doubt.
The president is now undecided
whether or not to send in any message,
for the reason that a number of most
important leaders of the party in the
senate and house have made strong
representations to him of the mad
visibility of sending amessage to con-
gress while the tariff bill is in confer
ence Senators Allison and Quay, Rep
resentative Dingley and other party
leaders called at the White House
and held a long conference with Presi-
dent Mckinley. They urged him to
reconsider his determination to send a
special currency message to congress,
and gave as a reason that the senti-
ment in congress vas such that it
would be likely to arouse feeling and
u friction that would delay speedy
final action on the tariff bill.
After the conference Secretary Por-
ter announced to the newspaper men
that it had been decided hat it would
not be expedient t. send in the mes
sage for the present, and hat it would
not go in for several days at least, and
might be deferred altogether during
the special session of congress.

Many Cases Now Pending Will be Affected
Thereby.

Thereby.
WASHINGTON, July 9-Many pension
cases are affected by the following rul-
ings which have just been made by As
sistant Secretary of the Interior Web
ster Davis:
In the claim of Francis Frank of Co.
II, Sixteenth Michigan infantry, the
department holds that a claimant who
has attained the age of ~ years shall
be deemed entitled to at least the min
imum rate of pension unless the evil
dence discloses an unusual vigor and
ability for the performance of manual
labor in one of hat age.
In the case of Edward Moore, of the
Fourteenth Independent battery, Ohio
light artillery, this policy is laid down:
when it shall be shown that the pen
s~ioner's right to have the pension inure
wholly to his benefit, lis being abridged
or forfeited by the malfeasance
of the guardian, and that the appoint
ing court will not administer relief,
then the commissioner of pensions
would be legally authorized to refuse
payment to the guardian and, if need
be, to pay the ~pensioner himself"

THE DISABLED SPREE.
The Passengers Made the Best of Their
Enforced Delay.

QUEENSTOWN, July 9.-The North
German Lloyd steamer Spree, Capt.
Meier, which sailed from New York on
June 20 for Bremen via Cherbourg, and
which should have arrived there on
July 4, reached here yesterday in tow
of the British steamer Maine, from
Philadelphia for London. All the
Spree's passengers and crew are well.
The delay was caused by the crack.
ing of her crank shaft on July 2, while
ESQ miles off the coast of Ireland. The
sea was calm at the time of the acct
dent, and the Spree drifted until $3.50
p. m, July 5, when the Maine
hove in sight and steamed close
to the North German Lloyd YES
sci. The captain of the Spree
sent one of his boats to the
Maine and arrangements were made to
tow the disabled steamer to this port.
There was no excitement and the pas.
sengers enjoyed themselves as best
they could under the circumstances.

The irate father had overtaken the
clipping couple, but he was a little too
late. A complacent clergyman had tied
the knot.
Sir" said the irate father, this is
simply outrageous. Can you forget that
she is my only daughter"
"In tell you what I'll do" returned
the groom, who always wanted to do
the right thing. 81 confess 1 didn't
think of it at the time, but 1 will agree
never again to forget it If you will also
kindly remember that she is my only

proposition. but somehow it didn't seem
to soothe the old mans temper to any
appreciable extent.-Chicago Post.

officials Making Ready to Observe
the SUMS Total Eclipse in 1900.
The United States government is
already preparing to take observations
of the total eclipse of the sun which
is to take place on May IS, 1900.
Observation stations will be estab-
lished along the path of the total eclipse
and experienced astronomers in the
service of the government will be sent
down to take the observations and
make the astronomical calculations
which it is expected will be SO valuable
to science and to astronomy.
These observations will be for the
purpose of determining the best points
at which to establish the permanent
stations, where the final observations
will be taken during the eclipse of 1900.
The path of the total eclipse will ex-
END in a direct line from New Orleans
to Norfolk, Va, and will pass through
Georgia in the locality of Macon.
Blank report sheets have been sent
to all the weather bureaus in the vicini-
ty of the path of the eclipse with the
instruction to the weather man to Sc
cure the services of capable and in
telligent men to take the observations
and register the results in the sheets
made for the purpose. The exact con-
dition of the sky, of the sun and of the
whole heavens will be marked down
in the sheets every morning of the
month when the observations are being
taken, and all of the sheets when filled
out will foe sent to Washington and
carefully graded. The permanent OBJ
s~ervation stations will be established
at the points where the first observa-
tons taken receive the highest percen-
tage.-Atlanta Constitution.

If Japan has received late advices from

negotiations on the differences between
the two governments on the immigra-
