latisfying stiawberry is doubtless the most

grown with the greatest earn; it is an
exceedingly prolific plant; it affords a

means of its numerous varieties; it is a

A French Lesson in Fowls
I never heard, says a writer in the
New York Triune, that the French,

they have a very satisfactory standard of
their own—which is 1 profft from he
fowls and their eggs. Everybody in
France eats poultry, and eggs on
farms are served up at almost everv meal.
In tho markets one can buy a joint of
fowl, or the bony parts for soup, or for
their incomprehensibly made dishes,
which are tit for an epicure. The French
have three breeds of high repute, and
aro content with them. They are
every day making “new breeds” of any
sportive feather fowls which have a strange
appearing on their bodies, and
crossiug are not spoiling for the what they have by
mere sake of
something to make new to exhibit at the shows

in for moat and eggs, not for feathers,
Consequently, they have meat and eggs

flowing feathers and a thick beard. The

Grafting Fruit Trees.
Mauy appear to think that grafting,-
or inoculation, as budding is often
called, has, lik« vacciuation, in the
mal subject, in some mysterious way the
power to so cliauge the nature of the
tree that it will bear better fruit that be-
fore. We have “grafted fruit” and
“natural fruit,” often used as equiva-
lent to good and poor fruit. Grafting JnsteaS
is simply planting a cutting hut
of planting it as we do most cuttings m

planted in the body, or the wood of an
old tree, and instead of forming roots,

P. T. Baninm at the Dressmaker’s.
The ancient showman, Barnum, has a
comparatively young and entirely stylish
wife. He went to a New York dress¬
maker’s shop with her, the other day,
and I met t .3 couple there. Barnum
seemed interested in the finery that his
wife was ordering, and yet his questions
seemed careless and aimless until a pro-
fessio .al spirit finally animated them.
The old fellow has made many millions
by shrewdness in advertising his shows,
and his mind took a scheming turn in
that direction.
“This dress,” lie said, indicating a fine
gown that was displayed on a form, “is
none and to big for a it twelve-year-old child,
yet iu style seems mature enough.”
“It happens to have been made for a
diminutive woman,” the attendant ex¬
plained.
“And the one over there is twice as
big. Do you charge the same pi ice
without regard to variation in size?”
“Ye-’, sir.”
“No matter how big a lady is, you
don’t add anything to the bill?”
“Not a cent.”
“And you don’t take anything off no
matter how small she may be?”
“We do not.”
The showman mused. Then I ven¬
tured to ask him what he was thinking
about.
“Jli, it struck me that if this time
xvere a quarter of a century ago,” Bar¬
num answered, quite seriously in spite
of his smile, “I could a' get an advertise¬
ment for a giant and dwarf out of this
incident. I would lead this dressmaker
to commit herself to what she has just
told me—that she would not vary her
price % on account of inequality in the size
of her customers. Then I would bring
in Mrs. Tom Thumb, and have her
measured for a costume. Next I would
submit Anna iSwau, the giantess, for
measurement “And at the would same price.”
next you get it into the
newspapers?”

Railroad Signal.
John Carter, of Baltimore, has the
model of a new invention of his. It is
:t danger signal for railroad crossings, on
which several patents have been taken
out. It consists of a very novel ami ef¬
fective and tripping either device, side placed of one mile
from on the crossing.
Hie device connects by a lever with a
system of chains and pulleys, which
themselves are connected with an electric
apparatus in a tower by the crossing.
When a train passes over the “trip” an
electric bell is set ringing ou top of the
tower, from which a big red flag appears
at the same time. The bell may be heard
from a point two miles distant. At
night a red light takes the place of the
flag. When the train passes over the
trip crossing, placed one the mile flag on the other side of
the or light disappears
and the bell stops ringing. The signal
is arranged to work with double tracks
or more.

Beating the Jute Trust.
Dr. Panknin of Chrlc-ston, S. C., has
some interesting specimens of the fibre
of decorticated jute and okra stalks,
from which the gum has been removed
by his recently discovered chemical pro¬
cess. Dr. Panknin has been conducting
a series of experiments on yucca, salt
water rush and other plants indigenous
to his state, and his conclusion will be
awaited with fgreat interest, in view of
the widespread excitement over the Jute
Trust and the determination of the
Farmers’ Alliance in several states to
show fight. Dr. Panknin recognizes
that it will be no easy matter to find a
cheap ami jute, thoroughly satisfactory substi¬
tute for as the butts or refuse which
bagging are imported from India by the
manufacturers are exceedingly
cheap. the After the comparative failure of
late John Commins, to perfect his
scheme for utilizing the marsh grass,
Dr. Panknin is not quick to reach con¬
clusions, but he evidently thinks there
are very favorable possibilites in the
common South Carolina coast.
Conan mitt ion, Scrofnln, General
Deiulity, Wasting Diseases of Children,
Chronic Coughs and Bronchitis, can bo cured
by the use of Scott’s Emulsion of Pure Cod
Liver Oil with Hypophosphites. Prominent
physicians use it and testify to its great value.
Please read the following: “I used Scott’s
Emulsion for an obstinate Cough with Hem¬
orrhage, Loss of Appetite, Emaciation, Sleep¬
I lessness, believe &c. All Emulsion of these have now left, and
your has saved a case of
well developed Consumption.”—T. J. Find¬
ley, M. D., Lone Star, Texas.
