The exact terms of acceptance have

basis Of the conventions latest ac-
tion. As it stands the constitutions
convention has adopted an appendix
to the constitution which it formally
adopted in February last. This ap-
pendix gives the terms Of the Platt

form of interviews with Secretary
Root and his Interpretation Of the
legislation of congress. It also quotes
the letter from Military Governor
Wood, transmitting the letter from
the secretary OF war On the same
subject, as having the value Of an Of

A VETERAN
Tells of a Thrilling Experience
in the Civil War and How
a Newspaper Article
Saved His Life.
From the Beacon. LeOnardstoua. Nd.

Many veterans of the Rebellion can
recall incidents as thrilling as the caval-
ry charge III which the narrator of the
following experience nearly lost his life,
and, unfortunately, many of the old
soldiers have disabilities that are unpleas-
ant reminders of their days in the army.
To all such this story will have pecul-
lar interest and may show the way TO
restore health, strength and energy. Mr..
William H. Whiting, of Mt. Holly, Va,
says:
when the Civil war began was living
in Buffalo and there I joined Co. f, of
the Tenth New York Cavalry. In 1853,
while serving with my company, re-
ceiyed a sabre cut that caused par
alysis. For eight months l was obliged
TO lie in the hospital at Washington,
D. c. afterwards tried many doctors,
but the paralysis remained as bad as ever.
I suffered from chills and my general
health was not good.
This continued until about eight
years ago when 1 read in a newspaper
of the cures effected by DR.. Williams

taking the pills and soon found they
were doing me good. In six months
time I was completely cured. The par
alysis has not returned and l never
have the chills now. My general health
is also better than when began taking

that they were of good size when trans

quent greater profit were gained. Mr..
Rane says:
From tomato plants the seed of

plants set into the ground beds be-

ing fruit on July 10. The plants were
set Is inches apart each way and train

were Early Acme. Beauty. New Liber-
~ Bell, lgnotum, Fordhook First and
Bonds Early Minnesota. These varie-
ties from past experience had proved
very valuable for forcing.
On examination of data at hand 1t
was found that Aug. 10 could safely be
counted upon as about the ripening
period of the outdoor crop in New
Hampshire. Figuring the yield per
average plant for each variety TO Aug
10 and then taking the average OF the
whole the yield figured 2 pounds GA
ounces per square foot. The average
price which tomatoes have brought be-
tween July 10 and Aug. 10 has been
at least cents per pound Two

Barrels Versus Cans For Honey.

In long discussion over barrels YER
sus cans In The Bee Journal II. %.
Hasty finds several things apparent.
One is that that heavy villain, the bar
rel, is not about to pull tombstone
over bis head right away. Another
thing is that those who succeed well
with barrels from year to year take
more care than average humanity will
take until pretty sorely whipped with
losses and annoyances. Another thing
is that the whim of big buyer who is
used to getting bis honey in barrels has
got to be yielded to. He'll buy Of
somebody else If you don't yield. Per-
haps most remarkable of all is the ut
ter decadence of the practice of treat
ing barrels With wax or paraftin. Not
