Treatment for Pear Blight.

The st. Augustine Meteor publishes
an item about pear blight which is
quite interesting. You will notice that
it is confrmatOry evidence of the truth
of Mr.. Stringfe7lOw's claims for the
New Horticulture.
We have noticed that pear trees, in
sod, did not blight as badly as those
which were cultivated.
Postmaster Ernest Mahr, of Mill
Greek, who was in the city during
the week, reports disaster to his
crops by the unprecedented rains of
a month or so ago. In speaking about
fruit, Mr.. Mahr stated that his pear
trees, which were given over to the
blight few years ago, now have

a rough, unattended piece of ground,

This is only in keeping with the ex-

we have seen, and which seem, con-
trary to most rules of nature, ~ thrive

ALL RIGHTS PROTECTED.
The exact working formula for maxi
ing DIR. Pierce's medicines without the
use of drop of alcohol and preserving
them unimpaired in any climate for any
length of time, cost DIR. Pierce and his
assistant chemists and pharmacists a
tedious course of study and expert
ments, extending over several years.
With the use of chemically pure glycer-
inc, of just the right strength, and with
laboratory apparatus and appliances
specially invented and designed to carry
on the delicate processes employed, DIR.
Pierce finally found that all the medici-
nal principles residing in the several
native medicinal roots could be more
perfectly extracted and better preserved
from fermentation than if alcohol was
employed.
Besides the glycerine, of itself. poe-
sesses the property of greatly en- hancing
the efficacy of the several medicinal
agents employed, whereas alcohol is
medicine to be employed in chronic or
lingering diseases, where, at best, treat
ment must be continued over a consid-
cradle period of time in order to make
the cure complete and permanent.

In favor of DIR. Pierce's medicines is

statement of their full composition,

Some weeks later Monsieur Leir
again knocked at Charlie Bartle's door
He advanced into the middle of the
studio, and without a word counted out
fifty English banknotes of hundred
pounds each.
''What the dickens are you dOing?"
cried Bartle, who thought he had sud
denly taken leave of his senses
"Five thousand pounds" said the old
man. Il thought you'd like to see the
money actually before you, so I chang
ed it into these notes.
What do you mean?'
'sIt's your share of the profit on the
sale of your pictures, and you may
marry your Rosie whenever you
choose
Bartle stared at Monsieur Leir, help
lessly. He thought it must be some
heartless jest, but the old mans eyes
cleaned with their usual kindliness.
He rubbed his hands joyfully as he
glOated over the painters utter con-
sternatiOn. At last he vOuchsafed
to explain. Bartle understood vaguely
that California millionaire had
bought his picture. all his pictures,
and this money was the result. He
wanted to write to this amiable and
discerning patron, but Monsieur Leir
hastily told him that was impossible
nhe Californian had bought the pic
lures and taken them away without
leaving his address Monsieur Leir
assured him that the American mil
liOnaires We're nOtOriously eccentric
Bartle drew long breath and looked
at the pile of notes.
Take them to the bank, my boy.''
said the old dealer, enchanted with the
young mans pleasure, "and send. a
wire to a certain lady"
He made the notes into a bundle.
and put them in Bartle's pocket, and
led him out of the house. The painter
walked as though he were in a dream.
But when Monsieur Leir had seen the
young man safely on his way to the
bank he went to his own apartment
He took out Charities pictures, which
had remained in the safe Obscurity of
a well locked cupboard. One by one
he ripped them off their stretchers,
and one by one he put them in ihe
fire. He laughed as he saw them
crackle in the flames. Then he took a
hatchet and cut up the stretchers reat-
1y.
Here is some excellent firawood."
he chuckled, as he gave the bundle
to his maid.
He rubbed his hands when be
thought that thus he saved several
coppers. 1t had slipped his memory
completely that he had just made his
friend a present of 5000 pounds.

cite the suspicious of the least trusting
section of mankind. 1T was scarcely
to be wondered at, therefore, that
when Rudolf Kuhn went to the Gus
tom House at New York to pass the
picture that had been sent him. he was
received with incredulity. He assert
ed with conviction that it was only a
copy. and produced the receipt which
Monsieur Leir had been so cautious
as to send him. But the official who
saw him merely laughed in his face.
He was quite accustomed to the tricks
whereby astute dealers in works of art
sought to evade the duty.
81 suppose you'd be surprised if l
told you that the picture was signed
by Antoine Watteau.'' he said, with a
dry smile.
More than that | should be amaz-
ed beyond words" answered Rudolf
Kuhn confidently.
Silently the customs officer took a
palette knife, scraped away the name
of Charles Bartle, and there, sure
enough. was the French artists sig

what have you got to say nOw?'
he asked i'm triumph
A curious light passed through the
dealers eyes as he stared at the can
vas. but he made no other sign that
Monsieur Leir's astuteness had sudden
ly flashed across him.
Nothing" he replied.
With meekness he paid duty on the
estimated value of an original Wat
teau. and a very heavy fine into the
bargain for his attempt to defraud the
customs. He took the picture away
But when he reached home that night
he kissed his wife on both cheeks,
with unusual warmth.
'YOur fathers still the smartest
dealer in Europe Rachel" he said.
But when she asked for some eXplana-
head and smiled.
In New York the newspapers learn
everything, and perhaps it was not
strange that within twenty-fOur hours
of these events an important journal
had an amusing account of how Ru-
dOlf Kuhn, the well-known dealer, had
been fOiled in his attempt to pass
through the customs, as copy Of some
obscure painter, a very perfect eX-
ample of the art of Watteau. 1T was
triumph for the officials, and the news
papers gibed freely because they had
got the better of willy Hebrew Now
Rudolph Kuhn had client who choose
to spend much of his vast wealth in
the acquisition of Old Masters, and no
sooner had he read these entertaining
paragraphs than he hurried to the
dealers shop. When he saw the pic
ture he burst out laughing

A Bold Step.

To overcome the well-grounded and
reasonable objections of tie more intel.
ligent to the use of secret, medicinal COM
pounds, Dr. r. v. Pierce, of Buffalo. N.
l., some time ago, decided to make a bold
departure from the usual course pursued
by the makers OF put-up medicines for do
mcstic use, and so has published broad
cast and openly to the whole world, a full
and complete list of all the ingredients
entering into the composition Of HIS widely
celebrated medicines. Thus he has taken
his numerous patrons and patients into
his full confidence. Thus too he has re-
moved his medicines from among secret
nostrums of doubtful merits, and made
them Remedies of KnOaOn Composition.
BY this bold step DR.. Pierce has shown
that his formulas are of such excellence
that he is not afraid to subject them to
tho fullest scrutiny.

Some of the great packing houses
of the West are in serious predica-
ment because of the meat inspection
law passed by the recent Congress.
The law requires that all packed
meats intended for interstate ship
ment must be inspected and labeled
with label setting forth the fact
that the contents of the package had
been inspected, etc. The law goes
into effect October L. Some of the
packers having been slow about pro-
viding proper labels and complying
with other requirements of the law
have applied to the Secretary of Ag-
ricultnre to set aside the October re-
quirement as to labels, that they
might have more time to prepare
themselves. Secretary Wilson has
refused to comply with the request
and the packers will be unable to dis
pose of their goods unless properly
stamped; except in their own States,
as the inspection law applies only to
interstate shipments.

Alexander Arrested In Pittsburs.

Pittsburg, Pa, September 18.-Thomas
Alexander, the cotton broker who fed
from Augusta, Ca, some months sgo,
after procuring nearly $4,000 from the
banks of that city on forged warehouse
receipts, was arrested here to-day, so a
detective agency claims.
The Perkins detective agency, of this
city, has wired President Phinizee, of
the Georgia Railroad Bank, of Augusta,
that the agency has Alexander under ar
rest.
A reward of $1,000 was offered for
Alexander's arrest by the banks which
lost money by his operations and detec-
tives have been on his trail ever since he
fled from Augusta. Alexander has trav-
eled extensively since he fled and the
detectives nave several times lost trace
of him entirely. Recently the trail of
Alexander was struck in Canada and II
led to this city, where the man said to
be Alexander was found to-day.
Alexander broke down when he was
arrested and said he would die before
being taken to Augusta as prisoner.
He seems to feel the disgrace of his posi-
tion keenly. He had very little money
when arrested and his appearance indi-
Gates that he has not lived in luxury
since he fled.
Alexander says that he carried very
little money away from Augusta, the
sums he obtained from the banks having
been lost in cotton speculation before he
left.
1t is probable that Alexander will fight
extradition.

Iowa's Wonderful Corn Crop.

lIowa's corn crop is estimated at
3S1, 100000 bushels by George A.
Wells, secretary of the Iowa Grain
Dealers Association, in his final re-
port on the seasons crop.
Wells insists that his figures are
conservative, and that with salts
factory September the chances are
good for yield of more than 400,-
100000 bushels.
His estimate is an increase of &c.
100000 bushels over last years yield.
This will be 38.5 bushels per acre.
The percentage reports from all sec
tions of Iowa show that the corn
crop is to-day 3.4 per cent better
than at this time last year.
Other estimates of Iowa crops are
as follows: Oats, 147 100000 bushels
spring Wheat, 100000 bushels;
rye, 100000 bushels.
