GoosEBERRY MILDEW.

Mildew is one of the greatest OBJ
stacles In the way of gooseberry

found that salt hay, spread over the
whole surface of the ground to the
depth of three inches, is preventive.
Common coarse hay or bog grass,
soaked in brine, would possibly an

the manner in which the salt absorbs

sUpERpHospHATE RESULTS.

Superphosphate gives excellent re-
suits on all garden crops, as it sup
plies phosphoric acid in an available
form, and also contains a proportion
of nitrogen. For early crops it may
be broadcasted over the ground and
narrowed in, about 200 pounds per
acre being considered a moderate ap-
plication. The best results from it's
use will be derived when it is evenly
distributed, and it is a cheap article,
considering its real value.

Meat Chopper Hint.

No matter how carefully the meat
chopper may be kept it will be found
very difficult to avoid blackening any
vegetable that may be put in after
meat. The different parts of the ma
chine should every now and then be
separated and boiled after the meat
has been chopped, but before doing
this a little bread should be put
through the mineer, as this will clean
the interior perfectly.

Rusted Nickel Plate.

Rust may be removed from nickel
plating by covering the spots with
mutton tallew and letting it stand for
several days. If this treatment is fol-
lowed by rubbing with good metal
polisher and then by a thorough
washing with strong ammonia, sue

polishing with dry whiting, stubborn

WATERCREss IN 4 GARDEN.

WATERCRESS IN A GARDEN.
An enterprising amateur gardener
says that watercress can be grown In
a garden as well, or almost as well,
as in the proverbial flowing water:
1t must, however, be planted in such
close proximity to spring or water
supply that 1t can be watered twice
a day. The cress thrives best when
sown In sort of sunken bed, with
ridge of earth around it to keep in
the moisture.

In a crash that sent ten members OF
the clergy, together with number OF
others into the cellar, Father Gabriel
Csopey, rector of st. Johns Greek
Catholic church in Broad street, was
severely injured Thursday afternoon
at Wilkes-Barre, Pa. The accident
occurred when Bishop Hoban, with
nine priests, we're laying the corner
stone of st. Mary's Greek Catholic
church in North Main street, that
city. Father Csopey, a brother of the
local priest, is the rector there.
The clergymen were standing upon
temporary platform that had been
erected for the purpose. directly over
an opening into the cellar. 1t was
shortly before 1880 O'Clock when
Father Csopey, rector of the Wilkes
Barre church, was reading the scrip
ture that the platform gave way.
Those on the platform fell about
eleven feet. In falling Father Csopey,
of this city, was on the bottom and
all the others piled on top of him and
nearly suffocated him. He landed on
his back and his arm, back and legs
are badly bruised. He also sustained
contusions of the body. He, together
with a number of other priests who
had been injured were hurried to a
hospital
No one was seriously injured in the
fall, the local priest being the most
injured of any one.
Father Csopey arrived in this city
yesterday afternoon and today is
resting comfortably at his home in
Division street. In speaking of the
affair today he said he had been call
ed upon by his brother to celebrate a
solemn high mass at the morning
service after parade had been held.

RELIGION AMONG THE
WIVES, SERMON TOPIC

Religion among the Housewives is
the subject at the Presbyterian
church tomorrow night
Mr.. Northrup contends that "No-
where else is there so much good in
tention, loyalty of service and devo-
ton and sacrifice, but too often their
motives defeat each other, their 10y
atty undeserved and unappreciated,
and their devotion mixed with notions
not far removed from superstition.
Altogether we take too much for
granted. too much is expected and
too much is understaken. But among
them we often find the most erron-
eous point of view, the most inefiic-
lent method, and the most surprising
lack of proportion. We wonder If
they do not delight in housecleaning;
and If they really want to solve the
servant girl problem"
