Soldiers Home.

Washington, D. c., April 21.-Rep-
resentatiye Brownlow has returned to
Washington from Johnson City, where
he went to make arrangements with
the members Of the board OF managers
of the Home for disabled volunteer
soldiers for the selection of a site for
the new branch now to be erected at
that city. Mr.. Brownlow is we'll pleas
ed with the result of his second visit,
the board having selected beautiful
site located near the railroad and con-
sisting of nearly 800 acres. The price
paid was $50 per acre. Mr.. Brownlow
says that the members OF the board
expressed the opinion almost unani-
mously that the new site selected sur
passes any Of the sites now occupied
by the branch homes in the various

The Fruit Crop Safe.

The snow storm that visited East
Tennessee on the night OF the 10Th in
slant caused great anxiety for the safe
ty of the fruit crop. Fortunately the
succeeding days have been cool and
cloudy, SO that even had there been a
more severe frost most varieties of fruit
would have escaped unframed.
The fruit buds and the young shoots
of trees are gorged with water and are
growing fast at this season. When
frost comes there is an expansion Of the
water, forcing it out of the cells into
the air spaces into the young tissues.
If following such frost the weather
remains cool and cloudy the plant cells
are able gradually to reabsorb the wa
ter and thus no harm will result from
the frost, but should the weather fol-
lowing frost turn warm and bright
there is rapid contraction of the FROST
ed parts, breaking the tissues and thus
causing the death of the tender parts
affected.
There has been light frost in the
vicinity of Knoxville during this storm
and the succeeding weather being fa-
vorsble it is believed not even the ten
derest fruits have been harmed.
