A. commission house in Baltimore
hit alpon q novel way of having q
number Of watermelons seeded. Two
hundred of the choicest melons that
epuh be purchased were delivered to
the esfrsu1 in order to seed the fruit
quiStlys Mi Robinson invited the col
ored 'longshoremen and passersby to
watermelon feast. 1t was the un-
derstanding that each man could eat
as he could hold, if he would
deposit the seeds in a tub reserved for
them. ATTACK after attack was made
on ahe melon pile until il melted

.py and retired regretfully when sur
feitfd The rinds were carried away
and the seeds were saved.

THE FREAK PUMPKIN,
shreWu Yankee Farmers Have
Turned II Into an Ever-Increas-
Ing Source of Income.

The modern farmer is learning to
take advantage of the weaknesses of
nature, says the New York Mail and
Express. One of these weaknesses is
found in the lordly pumpkin. Bruise
q growing pumpkin and the scar will
never be cleared away, but will show
in the ripe pumpkin in the shape Of
delicate little yellow warts. Starting
with this principle, some shrewd Yam
KEGS have made their pumpkin farms
valuable.
After the melons get good-sized and
prove that they will be fine ones the
farmers go into the patch and with a
sharp stick scar them so that when
they are ready for market their happy
faces bear, in words of warts. legends
like these: Eat me at Smith's;" Smith
will make pies of me soon;" Browns
pies are the best" Jones pies are de-
Iicious!" you can eat me inside"
The willy farmer hauls these warty
fellows to market, and, calling Smith.
Jones and Brown from their respective
restaurants, shows the strange freak of
nature. or course a sale is made on
sight, and the pumpkin lies at the front
OF the restaurant for few days to as
tonish passers-by until 1t must be made
into pies to save it. Then the farmer
discovers another freak pumpkin, suit
ably marked, to replace it. Fancy
prices are to be paid for these pump
kins, and stony patches that would
never pay taxes in any other crop pro-
duce wealth in pumpkins.

growing almost as soon as the leaves
are attacked, and as a result the crop
is practically worthless.
This blight may be he'd in check
by the application of bordeaux nix
ture. This is prepared and applied as
follows: Pour into a 5O-gallon bar
rel 25 gallons of clear water. then
weigh out six pounds Of crushed
bluestone or copper sulphate, and after
tying II in piece Of coarse sackihg
suspend the package just beneath the
surface OF the water by means of
string tied to stick laid across the
top of the barrel. In another suitable
vessel, such as tub or half barrel,
slack four pounds of fresh lime. Slack
the lime carefully by pouring on small
quantities Of water at a time, the OBJ
ject being to obtain a smooth. creamy
liquid, free from grit. When the lime
is Stacked add sufficient mixture to
make rs gallons. AS soon as the blue
stone is dissolved, which will require an
hour or more, pour the lime murk
and bluestone solution together, using
a separate barrel for the purpose, and
stirring constantly to effect a thor
ough mixture. 1t sometimes happens
that sufficient lime is not used, and as
result the foliage may be injured. To
be certain that the mixture is safe, hold
a steel knife in 1t for two or three min
utes, and If the polished surface Of the
blade shows copper-colored tinge add
more lime, but if it stays bright the
mixture is it to use.--Fa-mers' Review

SECURES RELEASE,
James HI. DrummOnd's Accusers With
draw the Charges Filed.

James H. Drummond of Harrisonourg,
Va. was arrested last night by Detectives
Hartigan and Boyd and locked up on COM
plant of two residents Of Harrisonburg
When taken into custody Drummond was
very much under the influence of loquor
and he had about $500 in his pockets.
The detectives found the Virginian at an
alleged disreputable house, in company with
woman from Harrisonburg. He left the
Virginia town Saturday to go to Stanton
but late that night, 1t was ascertained, he
came to this city. The woman who was
with him, it is stated. addressed a note to
Drummond's wife, telling her that she
would be with Drummond yesterday.
1t is stated that the man who was ar
rested owned big livery stable near the
depot In Harrisonburg. He sold the stable
ana came here. The complaint made
against him was abandoning his wife and
leaving unpaid bills behind.
This afternoon the man who caused his
arrest, called at police headquarters and
asked that he be released. He stated that
DrummOnd now realized what he had done
and he is anxious to return home to his
wife. 1t is likely he will be released in time
to return home on the afternoon train to-
day.

Education of the City Negro.

Professor Kelly Miller of Howard Uni
Versity delivered an address last evening
before the Lyceum Association of the Sec
ond Baptist Church, his subject being THE
