It opened yesterday fractionally above

A correspondent of the San Francisco
Examiner, in communication to thar
paper, gives the following as an effective
method of exterminating grasshoppers.
I'm the sos, when the grasshopners
came out of the hills in the east Of So.
noma county and ten miles of VINEYARDS
were eaten up,sI was one of those who
lost a fine young vineyard that had cost
me $4,000 to buy and to plant. and for
want Of knowing the true and only rem
edy l lost my vineyard and homestead
which was mortgaged to repIant If. and q
was taken by the mortgage. The cure
which we found when too late is this:
Take two parts of pure arsenic to four
parts Of coarse brown sugar, add to six
parts Of bran and shorts mixed. Mix
these twelve parts carefully while dry
In smooth vessel (say large wash
basin) according to quantity needed. Take
care to dyr mix 1t over and over
again so that the arsenic may be attach
ed 20 every part of the bran and sugar
Take care that no moisture gets to 1t,
or 1t cannot be mixed fully. Then take
out small quantities, say a SOUP plate
full at time and wet It to a mash. mix
it thoroughly till the arsenic is dissolved
and Incorporates in the bran. Then with
teaspoon put down one lump at every
three steps on a straight line. not at foot
% vines and trees, but in the omen near
them Put in a small stake with a red
rag at starting point and travel In a
straight line TO the end putting red flags
where the undulations of the ground need
them. This is done because all life Of
birds and animals will be killed out
wholly by II and after all the hoppers
are dead you must walk over the line and
gather what is left of the paoison or
cattle, horses. sheep and children may
be killed by eating It, The hoppers will
leave everything for the sweet bran and
lay dead in millions. When 7 used 1t you
could see a straight line marked In the
grassy hillside where the arsenic fiend
spread himself on the blast and breathed
In the hoppers' faces as he passed. and
the wings Of those hoppers grew quiet
and chin. ard their legs but once hoped
and forever were still

body from this awful pest Remember
II the stuff be wetted before mixing o,
during the dry mix the arsenic viii dis

We would like to ask, through the col
umns of your paper, If there Is any per-
son who has used Green's August Flower
for the cure of Indigestion. Dyspepsia,
and Liver Troubles that has not been
cured-and we also mean their results,
such as sour stomach, fermentation of
food, habitual costiveness. nervous dys-
pepsia, headaches, despondent feelings.
sleeplessness-in fact. any >-ouble con-
nected with the stomach or liver? This
medicine has been sold for many years in
all civilized countries. and we wish to cor
respond with you and send you one of our
books free of cost. If you never tried
August Flower. try one bottle first. We
have never known of its failing. If so,
something more serious is the matter with
you. Ask your oldest druggist.

This is not a gentle word-but when
you think how liable you are not to pur-
chase for 75c the only remedy universally
known and a remedy that has had the
largest sale of any medicine in the world
since 1865 for the cure and treatment of
Consumption and Throat and Lung trou-
bles without losing its great popularity all
these years, you will be thankful we call
ed your attention to Boschee's German
| Syrup. There are so many ordinary
cough remedies made by druggists ant
others that are cheap and good for light
colds perhaps, but for severe Coughs,
Bronchitis. Croup-and especially for Con-
sumption, where there is difficult expec-
toration and coughing during the nights
and mornings, there is nothing like Ger
man Syrup. Sold by all druggists in the
civilized world.

Cleaning Plstes.

The accumulation OF amalgam on cop

largely resultant from the ore treated
In the case OF some sulphide ores the
amalgam has a tendency to form hard
scale on the plates. which cannot be re-
moved by a rubber scraper, whisk-broom
or any such tool says the Mining and
Scientific Press. But with a steel scraper
the scale can be broken through and

CORONATION POSTPONED.
King Edward Critically III and an Operatiou
Performed.

a London dispatch of yesterday after
noon reports the serious. If not CRITICAL
Illness OF King Edward and announces
that the coronation ceremonies have been
indefinitely postponed bulletin issued
oS the physicians says that. the King is
suhering from perityphlitis, closely re-
sembling appendicitis, and that an opera
ton has been successfully performed
Inc Kings condition afterward was re-
ported as being satisfactory.
The best opinion seems to be that no
less than three months postponement of
the coronation is inevitable, and even
In the event of the Kings recovery, the
crowning will certainly be shorn of most
OF the arranged-for glory.
