to be the favorite among the fashionable
men. The reason for this is more than I
can tell. for a hotter. uglier goods was
never made into a summer suit than hat
stuff. 1t Is Of such a queer weave that little
style can be thrown into il. and, on the
whole, IL doesn't make a dressy appear
ance. The blue serge is always a favorite in
Indianapolis. and il is looked upon as a
standard everywhere. One never misses it
in having clothes made out OF this. Every
thing this summer will be cut with the mil
itary coat and large peg-legged trousers.
Another thing that is coming in vogue
Is the white vest. This is made Of pure lin
en-, marseilles and flannel. The white vests
are now both worn for business and social
affairs. and they give the men who wear
them a stunning appearance. 1t is getting
so now that business men put on a clean
vest just as they do a clean shirt. Let a
man have on a clean collar, a fresh shirt
and a spotless vest. and be dressed in a
neat business suit. and people will feel more
like talking 10 him."

DIR. Jordan and a Presidency.

f.. B. Willard, in The Worlds Work.
In 1879 he became professor Of zoology in
the Indiana University. He had intended TO
devote his life wholly 10 science, but when
the presidency became suddenly vacant.
Professor Jordan, the youngest member of
the faculty, found himself chosen TO fill 1t.
II didn't want the place." he told me.
'On the day l took it. L sent in my resig-
nation TO take effect in six months; but l
had to stay six years. / never wanted to be
a college president. but more of that sort
of thing was in store for me than 1 had
dreamed. One day Mr.. Stanford came TO
Bloomington. I had never seen him before
and he had never seen me. He was looking
for a man 10 take the presidency of his
new university. Would 1 accept 1t? l liked
Mr.. Stanford's ways at once. I knew he
was a broad man: and I liked California.
The result was that accepted. Afterward
j found that L was indebted in 81 way to
DIR. White for the offer. Senator stanford
liked Cornell and its methods and he
wanted a Cornell man. President White
recommended me-

me that 1 could do as 1 pleased about them.

diana. Each appointment was a surprise TO
the man who received it. As for the appeals

Efforts 10 provide more decent and repu-
table quarters for the chief executive and
his corps recall many interesting facts in
the early history of some Of the public
buildings in Washington.
1t was not until 1896 that the tempest
tossed Congress of the thirteen colonies
saw the first evidences Of the federal city
that excited the mirth of the wits, the fore
bodings of the timid. The circumference of
the city as 1t now spreads out under the
great dome is greatly contracted from the
imposing dimensions originally laid out by
the engineer, LEnfant- Where the superb

for a national tabernacle, where national
events We're TO be religiously commence

and their monuments perpetuated-a sort
of Pantheon TO the glories OF the Republic.

He was beset on all sides by venal legisla-
tors and self-seeking Jobbers, and practi-
cally coerced into throwing up his com
mission in disdain, leaving the city to be
completed by Andrew Ellicott.
In 1872 $500 in gold was offered, without re-
striction as TO calling, 10 the citizen who
should send in the accepted design for the
Presidents house. Five hundred dollars and
a lot in the new city or a gold medal were

This, however, was supplemented by a ma
tional lottery, for which 60,00 tickets were
sold and OF which 16. $50 were to draw
prizes, the capital one being a hotel which
was TO cost $4,000. The price OF the ticket

In 1896 the Presidents house and the Capt.

eclipse Paris and Vienna in beauty and
taste. When the lottery failed and the

FRUIT TREES AS BOUQUETS.

London Mail.

London Mail.
Until a few years ago fruit trees were
grown solely with a view to their edible
which affects horticulture in the same way
as ii does everything else has led to diff
ferent ~varities being cultivated in many
cases solely for their flowers.
The kinds which lend themselves most
readily TO this treatment are certain va
rieties OF the plum, cherry. peach and cur
a They are gently forced on in the win
ter IN a greenhouse, so that by the time
spring arrives they are already in full
bloom, a curious result Of this method OF
Of the tree have not yet developed.
The uses to which these Towering fruit
trees are put are purely decorative. In con-
servatOries and drawing rooms they, OF
course, supply a wealth Of pink or white
blossom, while the smaller kinds are freely
used for display on the dining room table.
For this purpose they are invaluable at the
present season of the year, when, with the
exception of dafOdils and early tulips,
there is little TO depend on in the way of
flowers for table decoration.
Fruit trees grown in this way for orna-
mental purposes never, of course, form any
fruit. As a matter of fact. however. those
most in favor for the purpose have, by
means of hybridizatiOn, been transformed
into double-fowering sorts, which do not
bear fruit. Many of the single-howering
kinds are used, but the strain of producing
premature flowers effectively destroys their
fruiting proclivities.
Apart from the growing OF the whole
trees themselves a branch OF their new in
dustry has sprung up among nurserymen
and florists through the new. but ever-in-
creasing, demands for sprays OF fruit bios
som. These have at times fetched as much
as 15s a spray. though the price generally
rules lower. Such sprays are used, like the
whole trees. for the purposes OF table deco
ration. but in a different way. a favorite
method with the scented sorts. such as the

The most graceful way of all of display
ing these beautiful floral branches is, how
ever. by arranging just three or four Of
them I'm a high vase resembling a celery
glass. This custom, like the c~hrysanthe-
mum craze. is Of Japanese origin, but IL
does not bear the significance here that IL
does in the East. Among the Japs the ar

cherry is quite a serious matter. Each

Heat from Incandescent Lights.

II is a general opinion that incandscent
electric lamps give out comparatively small
quantities Of heat. Measurements show,
however. that Of the energy OF the current
only s per cent. is turned into light: the
other "a per cent. manifests itself as heat.

lamps are readily ignited. If a sixteen

the water 10 boiling point in an hour. Gel

minutes. These and other experiments Of
the sort direct attention 10 the necessity of

loss OF BUTTER FAT.

1t is not possible, under even the
most favorable conditions, to recover
all the butter fat at the churn which
was in the milk or cream. With care
full manipulation, suitable tempera-
lures and good utensils it is possible to
recover nearly all of it, but from care
lessness and other causes considerable
amount may be lost. Some partisans
of the Jerseys have long claimed that,
because of the larger size of fat glob-
ules in Jersey milk it is possible to re-
cover larger percentage of the butter
fat from the churn than it is of Hol-
stein milk, which contains much
smaller fat globules.
As far as single experiment
goes, this claim is not borne ont by re-
suits obtained in the model dairy at
the Pan American Exposition. Once a
week a days milk from each herd was
churned, results carefully analysed
and made the basis of the figures A
comparison of the breeds will show
that, while Holsteins stand lowest, in
that the greatest amount of butter fat
wasslost from their milk, the Jerseys
stand second, with Polled Jerseys at
the head of the list. A comparison be-
tween the amount of butter made and
the amount which it was calculated
the fat would make gives some thought
for study, as well as the comparison
between the amount of fat shown by
analysis and the calculated fat. Amer

How II Looks when n Locomotive Il

Il am one of the very few persons
who ever saw locomotive blow up,
remarked an old railroad man to re
porter the other day. Generally the
men who witness the explosion of n
steam engine are so dead when the
smoke has cleared away that they are
never able to give an account of the
disaster.
Like many other accidents. the one
saw was the result of careiessness-
low water In the boiler--for the engine
had just come from the shops and was
IN complete repair. 1t was on the Bal
tlmore and Ohio railroad In West Vlr-

one which exploded ard was looking

before my eyes. Suddenly saw the
machine rise In the air. it seemed TO me
to be about rs high as the telegraph
poles beside the track, which, as you
doubtless know, are not so high as tel
egraph poles In the city. Then came a
cloud of dense black smoke and dust,
which hid the engine from view, and
almost simultaneously heard the roar
of the explosion.
Both the engineer and the fireman
were killed, and the locomotive was fiji
for nothing much but the scrap hear
when it fell 10 the ground. The crown
sheet over the tirebox had blown out.
The strange thing about the explo-
sion was that nowhite steam was seen.

CURE SICK HEADACHE.
LIMBER NECK.

A writer in Home and Farm says OF
this very troublesome disease among
poultry:
Though not contagious, it usually
proves fatal, unless in the first stages,
at which time it readily succumbs tc
treatment. 1t is caused from live
maggots which the fowls have gath
cred from the dead carcass of some bird
or beast These maggots are taken
into the crop, where they retain life,
and gradually stop the fowls digestive
organs from working, hence violent
diarrhoea. When first attacked ten
drops of turpentine poured down the
chicken throat will usually give re-
lief; but sometimes it is necessary to
make small incision in the upper
part of the crop and remove the mag
gots, after which stitch must be tax
en- to close up the wound When the
disease is first discovered, a thorough
search of the premises should be made,
and the cause removed. A rat, fowl,
or, in fact, any dead carcass will fur
nish a cause during the hot season.
The disease never exists during cold
weather
/ might also mention that the filth
of the henhouse may also be the cause
Droppings which are allowed to re-
main several days become alive with
maggots and, strange to say, the hens
will scratch over this filth and gather
them into their crops One can not
exercise too much care in keeping the
surroundings of the poultry yard clean.
Most of the ills of poultrydom may be
traced to neglect of cleanliness. Air
Stacked lime is one of the best and
cheapest disinfectants, and should be
used literally during the hot weather.

WEEDS ExrIRPATED.

Professor f. W Hilgard says that
Perennial weeds, like morning glory,
wild heliotrope, seashofe yerbena milk
weed, johnson grass, Bermuda and salt
or alkali grass. can be effectually ex-
Itirpated by a simple process followed
out faithfully for one season at least.
The tops or sprouts must be ent con
tinuously as soon as they begin to show
above the surface of the ground, and be-
fore they have had time to strengthen
the roots or rootstocks by putting out
green leaves, thus exhausting the nour
ishment stored in the subterranean veg
citation, In the vain efforts to reach the
sunlight" That process is truly Sim
ple' enough, but few there be who are
able to accomplish 1t. The writer can
testify from personal knowledge that
pulling out, in the spring, every root
which can be got hold of and burning it,
and consistently following it up until
harvest. and then forgetting all about it,

growth of these pestiferous plants. As
| to the best method of doing this work,
Professor Hilgard continues as follows:
| In cultivated ground this can best be
done by means of a sharp "duekfoot'
weed cutter or eultivator, run two to
three inches deep as often as may be
necessary, and supplemented by the hoe
where the cutter cannot reach, as in or
chards and vineyards. 1t is essential
that the tool be kept well sharpened, for
otherwise it will drag and tear instead
of cutting The stems, and the dragged
stems will recover, while each piece torn
off will make new plant. This may
have to be done once a week for some
time; in other soils oftener, in others
less often; but not a single cutting must
be omitted on pain of losing most or all
the advance previously made toward the
exhaustion of the roots, which is sure to
ensue from the failure of the sustenance
derived from the air, if the plan is per-
sistently pursued.
1t is idle, however, to employ hallway
means in this work. 1t must be CON
sistently and faithfully carried ont and
is then sure to be effective. If it be OBJ
ieeted that it is troublesome and costly,
it should be remembered that in the end
even the entire loss of one seasons crop
on the infested ground is much cheaper
than the everlasting fight and short
crops for years; or than the trenching
and screening of the ground sometimes
resorted to as a last remedy, and yet in
effective because every inch of the root
stocks or morning glory, Johnson or
Bermuda grass will root Independently,
and it is impossible to be sure of remov-
iing every such fragment from the land.
