Forcing Plants with Ether.

Attention is being attracted to the
use of ether and chloroform vapors as
forcing agents. 1t has been shown by q
number Of Investigators that the vapor
of chloroform or ether has a marked eff
feet upon the respiration of plant, in
creasing it In some cases to n marked
degree, as explained by Professor Gal
loway. Increasing the respiration sim
ply means that the plant is being made
to do more work than normal. He says:
ut must be remembered, however, that
in doing this the plant is living beyond
its means, and sooner or later there
must be a reckoning which may prove
disastrous. The plant responds to the
ether treatment just as it would to any
other irritating influence, and the effect
in the end must be the same as when an
extra stimulus is overwhelmingly, in
creased energy for the time, followed by
collapse and death if the matter Is car
ried far enough. In cases Of bulbs and
woody plants, where there is more or
less stored energy In the form of food
material, etherizing might work to adj
vantage in starting growth. This seems
to have been the lire Of work carried
on by the Danish investigator. From
the report of Consul Kirk, however, the
conclusions have not been very definite I"

Boston, July 24.-All Of the deal

morning mail to-day an official cir.
cular from the head of the State Pc
lice Department notifying them thai
the law which prohibits the wearing
or selling Of any kind of feathers Of
song birds is in operation and will
be enforced from this date.
One consequence of this law will
be that birds in other States will be
protected. The act makes no dis.
elimination as to where the birds
are killed. The mere having in pos
session calls for fine of $40. Skins
and feathers brought in from Other
States and countries are on the same
footing as those of Massachusetts
song birds.
The effect Of the law will evident.
ly be to make larger demand for
hat and bonnet ornaments, and
to stimulate milliners' invention in
devising substitutes which will give

plumes, and so on.

From Blindness to Active Business i'm
Txeufv-eirhf DAYS

One year ago Mr.. A. NJ. Cunning
ham, Ottawa. Kansas, found himself
blind in one eye from cataract and the
other failing rapidly. He had the one
operated upon by an oculist in 81. Joe,
Mo-, resulting in a painful confinement
and totally blind eye. The other was
now too blind to do business He then
came to Pittsburg for the express pur-
pose of placing himself under the skill
full care of DIR. Sadler, S04 Penn avenue,
whose reputation for success in cataract
has extended throughout the length and
breadth of the United States. The re-
suit in this case added another laurel to
the Doctors credit, Mr.C. never having
had any pain either with the operation
or after it. In three weeks he could
read rhe finest print, and in four weeks
was out on the prairies of Kansas sell
ling reapers. The doctor has lost but
three cases out of the last ll3 OF all ages
"a percentage of certainty worthy of
consideration. No season of the year
more favorable than now.

Iniauitous Lnmber Thrift.

"The proposed tariff on lumber" the
Boston Transcript (Rep.) says, lis sim
ply measure to pick tho pockets and
crush the industry Of large, useful and
influential class Of American citizens.
1t is uneconomic, unscientific, suicidal.
Tho statements upon which this schedule
was made up are shown to have been
insidie us aud misleading. The result
will bc to strip the country not Of an
annually recurring income, but of its
white Pine principal, which at present
rates is within ten years of exhaustion,
and also to ruin large class of business
mon in this country who deserve better
things. 1t does not seem possible that
men claiming TO represent tho people
will permit such measure to have the
force of law. If they do, it will cease
to be folly and become iniquity.''

The old method, and it is a good
method, is to dig deep trenches and ma
nure them heavily, but Rural New
Yorker does not regard 1t as the most
economical way, but suggests blowing
the land a foot deep and then harrow
ing it. Next broadcast manure, more OF
less in quantity as desired, and pillow q
trench by running the pillow both ways.
Now set the asparagus roots not less
than two feet by four feet apart. After
this, annual dressings Of manure or fer.
tilizer will serve every purpose, and the
yield will be as large as if deep trenches
were, according to the old way, filled
with manure.
