- SAT COME HIGH. So*»« gSjp Farm Products that «rw Unusually Expensive. A Flower Seed tbs* k Worth Five Hun tired Collars an Ounce, % la meaiy of the offices around and In **be fclg Produce Exchange, says the Asw York Sun, there are numerous little shallow boxes piled on window sills, tables, and desks. The boxes are generally filled with com and wheat and other grain, samples of the stocks aeld in the Wg elevators and stores a »»g the river fronts and in the fleets et osa&l boats in the Brooklyn basins. A grain dealer was running his hand through a sample of No. I spring wheat when a young man said: ■"Good as gold.” ■"Yes, but unlike some other fatm products, it Is not worth its weight in gold.” “Squashes, for Instance?” “Perhaps you would like to know something about high-priced farm products. There Isa new variety of °*ts, called the Clydesdale. A measur¬ ed bushel weighs fifty-one pounds. While they will not retain their full weight in this country, they will double the market value of the products of an oat field, The enterprising farmer pays ♦5 a bushel for his seed. There Is the new Fife spring wheat, which sells for a bushel, and the new styles of field corn known us Chester Mammoth and Golden Dent sell for about th« same. “In the matter of garden seeds, the farmer must pay prices that make him squeal. Last year a Newark man brought out wl>at is known as Hend¬ erson’s white plume celery. Unlike common celery it does not need to be banked up to whiten tho leaves, and, what is more, these leaves are as much like ostrich feathers as anything you can imagine. During the American In. stitute Fair the plants on exhibition were frequently torn to pieces by guests who used the leaves for button¬ hole bouquets. The seedsman who is introducing the plant paid $450 for a small truck load of the plants, and he now sells the seed at $40 a pound. “A new French bean is selling at 50 cents a quart. The new Eclipse beet seed sells for $2.50 a pound, while the seed of the new lettuce called the Oak Jbeaf soils for $2 an ounce. Even a new variety of parsley is high priced, the seed of the style called Emerald selling for $2 a pound. “You sarcastically mentioned the squash. That was because you didn’t know all about squashes. There was a (specimen of a new squash on exhibi¬ tion in this town last fall for several weeks that weighed 223 pounds. Its flavor was as excellent as its size was enormous. The seeds obtained from this big squash sell for 3 cents apiece, or $3 an ounce. “But when you want to find farm products that are really worth their weight in gold you must take the flow¬ er seeds raised by r the farmer’s wife. This year there are a great variety ot new flowers. It would bewilder you to name them. These seeds are always sold by the packet, at from 25 to 50 cents a packot. That sounds cheap, but thore are new styles in daisies, lady’s slippers, petunias, and pansies, the seeds of which are worth in the mark¬ et by the ounce a sum that will take your breath away. The petunia grandi flora is a sample. It is an exceedingly beautiful flower. Tho packages of seeds contain 300 or 400 soeds each, but the seed is an impalpable powder almost, it is so fine. The package retails at 75 cents, but by the ounce the seed is worth $500. An ounce will make 5, 000 packages. You can see what the retail price of flower seeds and the re¬ tailer’s profits are from that state¬ ment.” Earthquakes. In Science fresh interest is given to the subject of earthquakes, which have lately caused alarm in both hemis¬ pheres, by a statement of the number of noticeable shocks in this country during the twelve years from 1872 to 1883 inclusive. No less than 364 earthquakes are recorded as occuring in Canada and the United States, not in¬ cluding Alaska, within the above pe¬ riod. Of these the Pacific slope had 151, the Atlantic coast 147, and the Missis¬ sippi valley 66. Thus it appears that an earthquake occurs about once in every twelve days somewhere in the United States and Canada, and about once a month on the Atlantic coast. These are exclusive of the lighter tremors which do not make an impres¬ sion on observers, but which would be recorded by a properly constructed seistrjmeter an instrument designed to detect the slighter shocks. The youngest member of the Cotton Exchange in New York city is a youth of fifteen summers, and the oldest a veteran of eighty-two years. UTS SMULSEV’S DEATH. AN AUTOPSY REVEILS THE FACT THAT mob DID NOT DAK FEOM FARTING, _ Tfc. A.t.p,, . Perf«»e -_ 4 J-, s. Nmsbsr „ . „ •< , - An autopsy was performed ofi the body of Kate Smulaey, the Port Plain faster, by a number of physicians. The body Was not as much emaciated as would be supposed after the long fast of several months which the girl had undergone. The features presented a . eaceful, placid expression, and in the repose cf death were extremely beau jifu), giving no indications of the long, weary months of suffering. The news of the girl’s death brought hundreds to rhe soene, and as it became known that tbe relatives of the dead faster had granted the privilege of an autopsy, re porters from various newspapers in ail parts of the State came flocking fit. The body weighed about seventy-five poSuds. The tissues externally Were in a normal condition, and the muscles quite full and ronnded. Upon opening the cranium tho brain was found to be in a healthy condition and presented no inflammatory changes. The weight of the brain was forty-two ounces. The abdominal organs wore in a tubercular condition. The peritoneum was spotted with tnberoules, showing recent gen eral tubercular peritonitis. The tuber cular deposit invaded the lungs also, prodnoing pulmonary tuberculosis, The lungs were solidified and adher ent to tho pleura. The weight of the right lung was twenty-four ounces and of the loft twenty ounces. The heart was muoh smaller than normal and weighed six ounoes. The aortio valve was slightly thickened at the edge. The spleen was enlarged and the capsular ad herent weighed nino ounces. There were inflammatory adhesions of all the internal organs. Two large eircum scribed abscesses wero found, wliioh were flllod with material whioh had un dergono oheesy degeneration, and whioh probably partook of the general tuber oular condition. Tho larger one was situated between the liver and stomach and the other at the right extremity of the liver. The liver weighed forty ounces and presented a healthy ap pearanco. The right kidney presented uothing abnormal. The left contained m enlargement on one side, but whioh seemed to consist of normal kidney tis¬ sue. Tho stomach was next examined and found to be entirely empty. Tho mucous membrane was softened and in an ecchymotio condition. Tho intes¬ tines were found to be empty. Tuber¬ cular peritonitis was thought to have been the immediate cause of death, and by the condition the body was in it was thought by the doctors that the girl could have lived a long time upon a small amount of food. A Richmond Editor. The editor of the Richmond (Va.) Re¬ ligious Herald, says: Here is an item which we propose shall be read in silenoe and immediately forgotten. We went out in the country the other evening to preach. We stop¬ ped at the honse of a brother for snpper and were most graciously entertained— the ladies of the house making them¬ selves specially entertaining and de¬ voting themselves ardently to the pro¬ motion of our. comfort. Leaving the house in advance of the family, we hur¬ ried to the chnrch and began the ser¬ vices. Tho members of the family came afterward and took their seats with tho rest of tho congregation, without our observing their entrance. After the sermon we nndertoolc to play the agree¬ able and began to shako hands with the saints, and chat around to the best of our poor ability. Presently we found a strikingly good-looking sister in front of ub, and holding out our hand, expressed a wish to form her acquaintance. A vicious titter rattled throngh the crowd, and the sister looked a little scornful. We asked what it all meant, and to our undoing found that the lady in question was tho one who gave us our snpper. We spent a good part of the night in trying to explain how it happened, bat we cannot say that our tranmji aion will ever b« forgiven.

At Ash Fork the rail - road company attempted to sink an arte sian well,but after reaohing a depth of 900 feet the drill became fastened and could not be removed. Many fntile attempts were made to extraot it, but at last it was abandoned in despair. All water now used at that station and by the rssi dents of the town is brought by fall from Peach Springs, sixty-five miles to thb Westward, and is sold at fifty cents tier barrel. A short time ago a prospector, stimn lated by the inquiry for water, reported that ho had discovered a huge well, about eight miles from Ash Pork, sunk in a level plain. Parties at once re¬ paired thither with ropes and other paraphernalia to explore the wondrous discovery. They found the locality, but to this day do not know the exact nature of the curious cavern that met their gaze. It is situated on a level plain and cannot be seen until it is ap proached very near. There is no evi deuce of earth or rook having been te moved from the pit, which Was found to be 150 feet in diameter and 320 feet deep, with perpendicular walls, No one in the party was brave enough to decend and explore the l“well” when the rope had been lowered, and the ex plorers returned to Ash Fork scarcely wiser than they were before their trip, It is certainly a great curiosity, and there possibly exists a supply of water somewhere in its depths or in the numer oils oaverns or tunnels that apparently emerge into the dark earth below.— Tucson Citizen » «* Are there not women>ho fill oiir vase with wine and roses to the brim, so that the wine runs over and fills the house with perfume; who inspire ns with courtesy; who unloose our tongues and we speak; who anoint our eyes and we see ?
