Vermont Experim emit Station Tells
How to Xii "Palnt-Brush"

The Experiment Station at BurlinS
the special benefit of the farmers of
Vermont. has made a careful study of
the best methods of destroying paint
brush" and gives the results of its in
yestigation in the following language:
"The orange hawkWeed Cpaint-
brush') is. however. remarkably senSi-
tive to salt being quickly killed by APP
plications which do not injuriously al
feet most other plants. Dry Salt was
thrown broadcast upon adjoining plots
at the rates respectively of 1000, 1000.
1000, 1000 and 5000 pounds per acre.
The heaviest application entirely de-
stroyed the hawkweed and the grass
also. All of the lighter applications
proved ultimately beneficial to the grass
and, in varying degree, destructive to
the weed. Most of the weed was killed
by the 3000-pOund application and every
plant of it was killed by the applica-
ton of 5000 pounds to the acre. The
cheapest Salt obtainable is recon-
mended for use, as in our experiments
this has proved about as effective as
the purer table salt Ex-Governor G.
S. Page of Hyde Park, VT, sells a
refuse Salt from his hide warehouses
at from So to 81 per ton. This is less
pleasant to handle, but contains some
refuse matter which adds slightly to its
fertilizing value"
Mr. Page is selling his this years
product for $3.50 per ton, f. o. b. cars

temperance Victory In OREGON

The issue of the campaign was
County Local Option, and the readers
will be able to realize the fight carried
on, when they learn the measure was
won by the narrow margin of %
votes. The result of the election is
surprise to the saIoonists as they
boastfully asserted that they were
too strongly intrenched to fear the
temperance people," This victory is
not the end of the fight, as the loyal
people are about to organizea strong
local society for the purpose of ferret
ing out and convicting violations of
the new law.
Such an organization might be a
good thing nearer home.

SHE HAS
ENGLISH
ACCENT.
And Her Father Is Not In
Sympathy With
America

Miss Ida smalley, daughter Of
George W. Smalley, the New York cor
respondent Of the London Times, has
accepted an appointment as stenogra-
pher for Charles w Anderson, leader
Of the colored Republican organizatioE
Of New York, who took possession Of
the Office of collector Of internal reve-
nue. Of the Second district yesterday.
Miss smalley is not yet 81 years old.
She has been brought up by her par
ents with every educational advantage.
She has the English accent Of her Brit
ish-American father and the liberal
opinion on the race question Of her
anti-slavery grandfather by adoption,
Wendell Phillips. 1t is understood that
Senators Depew and Platt and other
prominent men backed her for the po-
sition, which is worth $1,000 year.
Her father, as New York corresponds
ent of tho London Times, has chiefly
distinguished himsolf by desire 20
please England at tho expense Of his
own country. He is now over 60 years
old and continues active contributions
to the London Times.

Royal Tips.

Some Of the European monarchs give
very large tips whenever they travel,
and others, on the contrary, are quite
niggardly. Emperor Nicholas of Rus
sia is tho most liberal in this respect.
During his brief visit to France three
years ago he spent $4,000 on tips to
servants and almost as much on pres
ents to officials and others. King Ed
ward Of England is not quite so goner-
Gus, but as he travels a good deal, both
within his own realm and abroad, he is
obliged TO lay aside each year $4,000
as an allowance for tips. Emperor
William Of Germany is more generous
in foreign country than at home,
and during his recent visit to Cowes,
England, he spent not less than s1O,-
600 on tips OF the remaining rulers
some spend reasonable sums and others
very little, but probably quite as much
as they can afford.-Kansas City Jour

CHILDREN CRY FoR
PLRTCHER's oAaroRIA.
A Modern DesdemOna.

The London papers are printing the
story Of an English girl, Clara Casey,
who married a Moorish acrobat, Mo-
hammed Ben Bulkhassen, and who now
in far of Tangier sighs for her Albion
home as follows;
"I wish j were in England again.
1 am quite miserable and lonely here,
and it makes me feel il more when /
SEQ how Mr.. Abdullah treats his wife
and the way Mohammed treats me.
"There Is a great difference. He is
always hitting me, and he laughs at me
now he has got me here and tells me
1 will never see you again, that j
shall live and die here.
"Dear mother, hope and trust to
God win soon be able TO return to
England again. What a fool have
been TO give myself to this mani"
So far the intervention Of the Brit
sh' vice consul has led to nothing, for
Miss Casey had previously become a
convert to Islam, and she stated that
she had the approval Of her parents.

After 10 years imprisonment in the
great penitentiary here, following a
conviction for poisoning, DR.. Urbine
de Freitas, ono OF the most disting-
uished Of European physicians, has
had his sentence Of 25 years commut-
ed by King Carlos TO simple Danish

Throughout his long confinement the
doctor is said TO have jealously guard
ed secret he had discovered--an az
sured cure for leprosy. Accompanied
by his devoted wife, he is now on his
way to Berlin, where his arrival Is
eagerly awaited by all German students
Of the higher branches of medicine.
When tho doctor was first arrested
Lisbon society received a shock. The
charge against him was Of poisoning
the fve little brothers and the sis.

him and a largo fortune.
During holy week the king signed

The reported sale in London, of the
skin of a great aux for f4Oo marks a
decided increase, says the Country
Calendar, in the price of specimens Of
this bird, which, as late as 1891 sold
for $3.50. With little probability that
the 20 odd known specimens will ever
be added to, there is every reason to,
believe that, even at $1,000, the skin
of great aux is a good investment.
Only five examples of this Aightless
bird appear to be in this country
there being one each in the smithson-
ian Institution, Philadelphia Academy
of Sciences, American Museum Of Nat
ural History, Museum Of Comparative
Zoology at Cambridge, and Museum Of
yassar College, Only two Of the 10
odd known great aux eggs exist in
this country, each of the first two in
sli,uiIons mentioned above possessing
one. singularly enough, the egg of
this bird commands nearly as high a
price as the bird itself. Becoming ex-
tinet in 1874, the great aux was fol
lowed in this country by the Labrador
duck, no individual of which has been
seen alive since 1875. OF this species
only AZ skins are known, 80 Of them
being in America. this small number
and the suddenness of the birds dis
appearance doubtless accounting for the
surprising advance in the price Of
specimens. Sixty years ago, 1t is said,
ducks spoiled in New York
for lack Of a purchaser at 90
cents apieeej today an adult male
brings $500.
