the Herald from st. Petersburg, says:

PICTURESQUE SIENA.
She Is the Typical Gothic City of
Tuscany.

She Is the IyplCal SOtnic Nity oi
Tuscany.
Siena, like a true daughter of Rome,
is throned superbly upon many hills,
but the wolf and the twins watch over
a medieval city, and the ancient Colo
MIA Julia Senensis holds, higher than
any other italian town save Florence,
the double symbol of church and state
in the middle ages, the towers of the
cathedral and of the public palace.
We have seen the city in many phases,
under black clouds with hailstones,
shining in stormy, struggling sunlight
against the sculptures of Fonte Gaia
and the rain streamlets rushing down
it's steep streets; and we have seen 1t set
like q town in a missalborder against a
still, fat, blue background of sky; we
have seen it from the terraces Of the
Observance, rising above its walls, which
oVerhung the intermediate valley, and
from distant southern Monte Oliveto
it's towers of the Mangia and the cathe-
dral dwindled TO mere pin points. We
have strolled through its narrow streets
at all times and at all seasons, have
blinked at the dazzling facade of the
Duomo in the glare of noon, and lin
gered in the great campo when it lay
white and still in the chill moonlight.
We have watched the gray, bleak hills
on which the town is pedestaled turned
to freshest, tenterest green; we have
climbed the slopes of the olive orchards
and looked through slSurrying snow
flakes at the ramparts rising above us;
and from every point, from without her
gates and within her walls, from the
towers above and the valley below,
Siena makes one impression only upon
us: Etruscan town, Roman colony as
she was, the middle ages set their seal
upon her and she is the typical gothic
city of Tuscany, almost Of Itsly.-Scrib-

1t was once thought impossible that
human being could live and walk
with broken neck, and perhaps still
more doubted that q rooster could live,
stand and be fed after the hatchet had
severed it's head from the body. But
such are the real hard facts, says For
est and Stream. The phenomenal
rooster was exhibited some years ago
in Huntington, w. Va. The exhibitors
said they got the fowl from farmer
who had decaptated it, after which it
got upon its feet. However this may
be, the headless, living rooster was not
a deception. 1t was fed through Il
tube inserted in its throat. 1t is obvi-
Gus that the farmers stroke was II lit
tie too high, and that, u portion Of the

and told me he was doing well. and

capitating ROSTERS for other parties
who wanted them for exhibition. but
that he was prevented by the authori-

DISEASE OF THE EASTER LILY.
Result of "A Government tInvestignt
Of n Flowers Aflmerit

Result of a Government tInvestignt tiou
of n Flowers Ailment.
A special bulletin has been issued by
the agricultural department on disease
of the Bermuda, or Easter lily. which
is OF much interest to the florists of the
country. 1t points out that the fore
ing of the lily has become an important
industry in the United States. The
bulbs are grown almost exclusively in
Bermuda, where they mature in July
and are then shipped to this country
to be forced in the following fall, win
ter and spring.
During the past five or six years the
disease affecting the lily has seriously
interfered with the profitable growth
of the plant. The government began an
investigation of the plant two or three
years ago, and the preliminary report
says the disease destroys in this coun-
try from 90 to co per cent. of the en-
tire crop. exclusive of the bulbs which
fail to grow or that make worthless
plants. the loss from which ranges from
5 to 30 per cent.
The disease is characterized by spot
ting and distortion of the leaves and
flowers, and usually the stunning OF the
plants. The principal causes assigned
are worn-out soil, premature removal
OF flowers and flower stems. premature
harvesting of bulbs, carelessness in Sc
lection of propagating stock bad treat
ment during the forcing, and the dep
relation of insects. AS remedies ii is
suggested that only strong and vigor-
Gus plants be used for propagation,
crop rotation should be practiced,
chemical fertilizers used and premature
digging avoided.

GROSVENOR TALKS

Glouster, O., Sept 14,-General Chas.
II. Grosvenor, of Athens, congressman
from this district in an interview with
a State Journal reporter, said:
THE chances for success of the Dem
ocratic party in this state have been
reduced SO greatly since the new tariff
law went into operation that it will be
nothing but walkover tor the Repub-
licans to swell their majority to 100, 900
this fall in Ohio.
"The wool growers are elated, the
farmers are pros porous. miners are
about to return to the pits, and unenl-
ployed laborers by the thousands are
securing work.
Free silver sentiment here has
become very fat in the minds of its
recent most ardent supporters, and the
Democratic managers are placed to the
necessity of inventing some new issue
TO attract voters. For the sake of
Americanism and its most sacred in
stitutions, it is to be hoped that never
again will they venture SO unpatriotic
and disreputable bargaining as the
ultimate overthrowing Of our govern
