The Way Out.

A well known Boston physician was
on his way to his Office one winter
morning when the sidewalks were a
glare Of ice. While going down the
street he met a lady coming in the
opposite direction. The lady was a
stranger to him. although he was not
unknown 20 her.
In trying to avoid each other on the
icy pavement they both slipped and
came to the sidewalk facing each 9TH
er. with their pedal extremities consid-
erably entangled. While the polite
doctor was debating in his mind what
was the proper thing to do under the
trying circumstances the problem was
solved by the quick wttted lady, who
quietly remarked:
Doctor. II you will be good enough
to rise and pick out your legs I will
take what remains"

BROWN ROT CONQUERED.

Belief That Worst Foe Of Stone Fruit
Growers Is Under Control.
The Rural New Yorker says that
brown rot. the most destructive fun.
gous disease known to the peach or
chardist, has finally been put under
control ]. n. Hale Of Georgia and
Connecticut paid his respects TO the
brown rot disease in the following
terms: "The brown rot is so great a
factor for evil in the raising of peaches
for the market that in a few years
more it would have accomplished the
complete failure OF my orchard plant
in the state OF Georgia. We can mas
ter or control every other enemy OF
the peach by up TO date methods and
precautions. but until now we have
had no weapon that would touch the
brown rot fungus" And then he con
tinued to say that "the use Of the self
boiled lime sulphur spray as a foliage
treatment for the peach tree. recently
discovered by w. NJ. Scott Of the United
States department Of agriculture. alone
would swing the future status Of my
fortune from failure to success"
The importance Of this spray TO Mr..
Hale reaches 10 every other peach
grower in the country, with somewhat
less force. except perhaps, to orchard
lists in the arid regions of the west
where the climatic conditions are un-
friendly to the career OF the destruc
tive fungus. In the early peach sec

means the restoration OF prosperous

And in addition to that the opinion which

beyond fifty years, when the District had

they were not entitled, the very thing
which you say. Now, as I said, Mr.. Chair

Alleged Violation of Law.
"One of the most striking statements
made by the gentleman" said Repre-
sentative Cooper Of Wisconsin, "em-
bodies a quotation from the law. The
gentleman said that the law specifically
provided that the bonds should be in
denominations of $50 and $500
Eyes, sir; that is the law" Mr.. John
son replied.

Nevertheless. that is true" said Mr.

5000 bonds have been issued in the last
seven or eight years.

PLANTATION has ever been given for that
non-obserrance of the law?''
Il do not know that any has ever

How are these bonds disposed of?
How were they issued and to whom,
and under what terms?" asked Mr..
Cooper.
These bonds were issued by the Dis
trict Of Columbia and were used in pay

of Columbia prior to 1874" Mr.. Johnson
explained.

got them?"
Il have no record as to that" Mr..

action as Congress may take in con-
tributing toward the payment of the
interest and principal of these 3.65 per
cent bonds; but when Congress came
four years thereafter for the first time
to treat of these 365 per cent bonds,
instead of making the proper proper
ton as contemplated in the act of 1874,
Congress positively refused to do SO
and passed this act Of 1878: Hereafter
the Secretary of the Treasury shall
pay the interest on the 3.65 bonds OF

Now that has been my contention, that
the United States government has not
been given credit out OF that SO per

by that act the United States govern
