Among the old letters addressed to
George Washington, now collected in
the State Department library, is one
from a lady who writes in the post
script that she is sorry not to be able
to use note-paper worthy of his royal
station, but had she used gold that
would have required an outer wrapper.
and it would have been too much to
ask one in his position to open two
wrappers in order to get at so unwor-
thy a note as her own. This polite
speech suggests that even in paying
compliments there are fashions as
in other things. It is not certain.
however, that the letter to Washing
ton typifes the fashion Of that day.
Doubtless President Mckinley would
be greatly surprised to find such a
compliment in a letter addressed to
him, and perhaps General Washington
himself was surprised and amused by
his ELUSIVE correspondent. The things
done in jest or in eccentricity IN one
generation are often taken as wholly
serious by those who read of them in
q later one. y

A RIVAL Or NICARAGUA CANAL

SSsa While the United States is busy dis
acussing and negotiating over the pro-
posed Nicaragua canal the Mexican
government, aided by a rich and pro-
gressiVe British company, is working
steadily on a route across the isthmus
which not only promises to loom up
as the Nicaragua canals most danger
Gus rival after the canal begins bust
ness, but which will be in active oper-
alton five or six years before the MIC
araguan route can possibly be opened.
"A Lively scheme. # ss 5S
Stated briefly, the new work con-
sists in reconstructing a railway,
which already crosses Mexico at its
narroWest point, to such an extent
that freight can be rushed across it
in a shorter time and at a lower rate
than would be possible by the. Near
aqua canal, the saving Of time Of yes
sells through the use Of this more
northerly route being expected to even
up the disadvantage Of handling a
ships cargo twice. &..@. #
s. ~ Ills railway ~: is the lenuanLepec
line, built by the Mexican government
several years ago and used only for
local traffic, but never as an inter-
oceanic freight route, being entirely
without terminal facilities for it's hand
ling. Now, however, harbors are being
constructed at both ends Of the route
= at Coatzacoalcas, on the Gulf OF Mex
leo, and Salina Cruz, on the Pacific
9Ocean-which will give anchorage to
the largest vessels in the merchant
service, while the quays and wharves
are to be fitted with the most modern
machinery and appliances for the
loading and discharging of vessels.
Meanwhile the road itself is being re-
built almost entirely and fitted for
heavy traffic. ae,.,s %sa 4.

stone could be tossed into the town
site, within the Enclosure, which would
seem to be a good reason why this
Enclosure which has been called a fort,
could not have been intended for de-
tense against any human enemy. Along
the brow of this higher land is a row
OF more than thirteen round pyramidal
mounds ranging from three to twelve
feet in height. From the top of these
mounds, or, standing on the table
land above, an enemy could command
the whole townsite. It has always
been conceded that Aztalan was not
1nclosed for purposes of defense. 1t
has been supposed that it was walled
for protection from wild animals,
though the Enclosure has never been
high or abrupt enough since it's dis
covery to keep out the panther, Wild
cat, wolf, bear. moose, or buffalo,
which were the only dangerous ami
mails of our woods known to us. The
purpose Of it's inhabitants in indus
triously constructing this great in
closure over a half mile long must still
remain a mystery. The most remark
able art of Aztalan is it's brick walls
and walks. In this it is singular and
alone, the only example of bricklay-
ing among all the monuments of the
mound builders. These bricks or brick
cts are not rectangular and regular in
form and size, as are the modern
brick. They are simply balls Of plas-
tic clay wadded by the hand into small
brickets Of irregular form, about the
average size Of a SNOWFALL The ma
terial used was the glacial yellowish
red clay of the vicinity, and the color
of the brickets is red or light yellow,

Insects In Stored Grain.

:. Bulletin 127, U. S. Department Of
Agriculture: The chief loss in this di-
rection from insects is to grains in
farmers bins, or grain or grain prod
ucts in stores, mills and elevators, al
though in the warmer ATTITUDES much
of the injury results from infestation
in the field between the ripening of the
grain and its storage in bins or gran
aries. Fortunately, the several impor-
like treatment. Aside from various
important preventive considerations,
such as, in the South, prompt thrash
ing of grain after harvesting, the thor.
ough cleansing Of bins before refilling
constant sweeping, removal of waste
harboring insects from all parts Of
granaries and mills, and care to pre-
vent the Introduction of .Weeviled'
grain, there are three valuable rene
dial measures, viz, agitation of the
grain, heating, and dosing with bisul-
phide Of carbon. The value OF agi-
tating or handling grain is well
known, and whenever, as in elevators,
grain can be transferred or poured
from one bin into another, grain pests
are not likely to trouble. The benefit
will depend upon the frequency and
thoroughness Of the agitation and in
France machines for shaking the
grain violently have been used with
success. WinnoWing weeviled grain is
\ also an excellent preliminary treat
ment. Raising the temperature of the
grain in closed retorts or revolving
cylinders to 100 to $50 degrees F. will

for from three to 1--WE hours, but is apt

pie undismayed. They will have at
least five years start Of either enter
prise, and they say they will depend
on the cheapness of their rates, their
celebrity in handling cargoes and, above
all, their more northerly location, to
enable them practically. to defy COM
petition. By the Tehuantepec route,
they point out, the distance between
New York and San Francisco will be
700 miles less than by the Nicaragua
canal, and LOO less than by the Pana-
ma route, For a 10-knot steamer that
means saving of nearly three days in
the first case and of four and a half
days in the second From New Or
leans to San Francisco they claim an
advantage of 1000 miles over Pana-
ma, which accounts for nearly seven
days. From Plymouth, England, to
San Francisco there will be not only
a saving of 1000 miles over the Cape
Horn route, but of 800 miles, or three
whole days, over that of Panama. q.
Nor will they be content to com

A woman was recently arrested for
begging in the streets of New York.
She was we'll known to the police, and
when her case was called some curious
information about her was brought
out. She always had a thin, fretful
baby in her arms, and the baby con-
stantly cried. That was her capital.
and to keep it unimpaired and produc-
tive, she made a practice of pinching
the child whenever it seemed inclined
to settle into quiet. The ruse was so
successful that the beggar had a COM

Onion Growing.

There is a good deal of complaint
among farmers and gardeners about
being unable to secure good stand Of
onions by planting the seed. Onion
seed deteriorates very rapidly with age
and only that of the last seasons crop
should be used. The sprouting seeds
and young plants are very easily killed
by drouth and some method of plant
ing must be followed that will carry
the young plants over the dry weather.
A simple and quite effective way Of
planting is to prepare a good seed-bed
by blowing the land in the fall or early
winter. Smooth down the surface with
a harrow or similar tool Drill the,
seed in rows about fifteen inches apart,
placing the seed about one inch below
the surface of the soil. Firm the soil
we'll on the seed by walking On the
rows or some similar method; then
cover lightly with loose soil. This.
method, although simple, has never
failed to give a good stand Of onions
at the Experiment Station at Still
water. AS soon as the plants are three
or four inches high they should be
thinned to three inches apart in the,
row. Weeds and grass should never be
permitted to grow in the, onion bed
and the surface of the soil should be
kept loose and mellow with the hoe or
hand cultivator. Onions are easily
grown and with good care will yield
good crop in almost all parts of Ok

cheapest and most effeetua1 remedy Is
the use Of fislIlDfide of carbon.

the use OF bisulphide OF carbon.
Bisulphide Of Carbon. This is a COLI
.orless liquid with very offensive odor,8
which, however, passes off completely
in short time. It readily Volatilizes
and the yapor, which is very deadly
to insect life. is heavier than air and
settles and fills any compartment or
bin in the top Of which the liquid Is.
placed. 1t may be distributed in shall
low dishes or tins or in saturated
waste on the top of grain in bins, and
the gas will settle and permeate.
throughout the mass of the grain. IN
large bins, to hasten and equalize the
operation, it's well to put quantity
of the bisulphide in the center of the,
grain by thrusting in balls Of cotton
or waste tied to a stick and saturated
with the liquid. or by means Of gas
pipe loosely plugged at one end, down
which the liquid may be poured and
the plug then loosened with q rod.
Prof. H. q. Weed reports that in Mis-
sissippi the chemical is commonly
poured directly onto the grain. In mod
erately5 tight bins no further precaution
than to close them well need be taken,
but in open bins it will be necessary to
| cover the mover with blanket to
prevent the too rapid dissipation Of
the vapor. The bins or buildings
should be kept closed from twenty
tour to thirty-six hours, after which
thorough airing should be- given
them. Limited quantities at time
may often be advantageously subject
ed to treatment in small bins before
being placed for long storage in large
masses, and especially whenever there
IS danger of introducing infested grain.
The bisulphide is applied at the rate
OF pound to the ton Of grain, OF
