SEEDS THAT COME HIGH.
Some Farm Products that ar©
Unusually Expensive.
A Flower Seed that is Worth Five Hun
dred Dollars an Ounce.
In many of the offices around and in
ihe big Produce Exchange, says the
New York Sun, there are numerous
tittle shallow boxes piled on window
sills, tables, and desks. The boxes are
generally filled with corn and wheat
and other grain, samples of the stocks
neld in the big elevators and stores a
tong the river fronts and in the fleets
of canal 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 faim
products, it is not worth its weight in
■“Squashes, for instance?”
’"Perhaps you would like to know
something about high-priced farm
products. There is a new variety of
oats, 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 istthe
new Fife spring wheat, which sells for
$3 a bushel, and the new styles of
field corn known as Chester Mammoth
and Golden Dent sell for about ths
aame.
“In the matter of garden seeds, the
farmer must pay prices that make him
squeal. Last year a Newark man
brought out what is known as Hend
erson’s white plume celery. Unlike
common celery it does not need to be
banked up to whiten the leaves, and,
what is more, these leaves are as much
like ostrich feathers as anything you
can imagine. During the American ln_
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 S4O 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
Leaf sells 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.
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 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 picket, at from 25 to 50
cents a packet. That sounds cheap, but
there 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 grandl
flora Is a sample. It is an exceedingly
beautiful flower. The packages of
seeds contain 300 or 400 seeds 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 SSOO. 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 S’eC*w>'e. fresh interest Is given to
the subject of earthquakes, which have
lately caused alarm in both hemis
jiherfts, by a statement of the number
of noticeable shocks in this country
during the twelve years from 1872 to I
1883 inclusive. No less than 364
earthquakes are recorded as occuring in
Canada and the United States, not in-|
eluding Alaska, within the above pe- |
riod. Os 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 Slates and Canada, and about |
once a month on the Atlantic coast.
These are exclusive of the lighter
tremors which do not make an impree- i
Sinn on observers, but which would be*
reeordeil by a properly constructed
sristr •meter an instrument designed
to detect the slighter shocks.

UTE SMULSEI’S DEATH.
AN AUTOPSY ftEVEAES THE FACT
THAT KHE DIO NOT DIE FROM
FASTING.
The Autopsy Performed by a Number ot
Fhyaicluns.
An autopsy was performed on the
body of Kate Smulsey, the Fort 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
peaceful, placid expression, and in the
repose of death were extremely beau
tiful, giving no indications of the long,
weary months of suffering. The news
of the girl’s death brought hundreds to
.he scene, and as it became known that
the relatives of the dead faster had
granted the privilege of an autopsy, re
porters from various newspapers in all
parts of the State came flocking in.
The body weighed about seventy-five
pounds. The tissues externally were in
a normal condition, and the muscles
quite full and rounded. Upon opening
the cranium the brain was found to be
in a healthy condition and presented ho
inflammatory changes. The Weight of
the brain was forty-two ounces. ‘ The
abdominal orgats were in a tubercular
condition. The peritoneum was spotted
with tubercules, showing recent gen
eral tubercular peritonitis. The tuber
cular deposit invaded the lungs also,
producing pulmonary tuberculosis.
The lungs were solidified and adher
ent to the pleura. The weight of the
right lung was twenty-four ounces and
of the left twenty ounces. The heart
was much smaller than normal and
weighed six ounces. The aortic valve
was slightly thickened at the edge. The
spleen was enlarged and the capsular ad
herent weighed nine ounces. There
were inflammatory adhciiions of all the
internal organs. Two large circum
scribed abscesses were found, which
were filled with material which had un
dergone cheesy degeneration, and which
probably partook of the general tuber
cular condition. The 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
pearance. The right kidney presented
nothing abnormal. The left contained
m enlargement on one side, but which
seemed to consist of normal kidney tis
sue. The stomach was next examined
and found to be entirely empty. The
mucous membrane was softened and in
an ecchymotio condition. The 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 (Vo.) lie
ligious Herald says:
Here is an item which we propose
shall ba rend in silence and immediately
forgotten. We w6rft out in the country
the other evening to preach. We stop
ped at the house of a brother for supper
and ware 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 church and began the ser
vices. The members of the family
1 came afterward and took their seats with
the rest of the congregation, without
i our observing their entrance. After the
I sermon we undertook to play the agree
■ able and began to shake bands with the
| saints, and' chat around to the best of
our poor ability. Presently we found a
I strikingly good-looking sister in front of
us, and holding out our hand, expressed
a wish to form her acquaintance. A
vicious titter rattled through the crowd,
and the sister looked a little scornful.
We asked what it all meant, and to our
undoing found that the hdy in question
was the one who gave us our supper,
i We spent a goal part of the night in
trying to explain how it happened, but
we cannot say that our tranarni «ion

A Curious Pit
In some sections of the northern por
tion of Arizona the question of water
supply, even for domestic purposes, is a
very serious one. This is particularly
the case at Ash Fork, a station on the
Atlantic and Pacific Railroad. A series
of very lovely and fertile valleys sur
round the place, and plenty of grass
grows for the support of large herds of
of cattle, but no water can be had ei
cept from an occasional “tank” during
the winter season. At Ash Fork the rail -
road company attempted to sink an arte
sian well,but after reaching a depth of 900
feet the drill became fastened and could
not be removed. Many futile attempts
were made to extract it, but at last it
was abandoned in despair. All water
now used at that station and by the resi
dents of the town is brought by rail
from Peach Springs, sixty-five miles to
the westward, and is sold at fifty cents
per barrel.
A short time ago a prospector, stimu
lated by the inquiry for water, reported
that he had discovered a huge Well,
about eight miles from Ash Fork* 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
dence of earth or rock having been re
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 2“we 11” 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
ous caverns or tunnels that apparently
emerge into the dark earth below,—

/
Not a liospital ? but a pleasant femedial Home, organized with
A FULL STAFF OF EIGHTEEN PHYSICIANS ANO SURGEONS,
And exclusively devoted to the treatment of all Chronic Diseases*
This imposing Establishment WM designed and erected to accommodate the large number of invalids who visit from
•.-err Stat*, and Territory, as well as from many foreign lands, that they may avail themselves of the professional services of
u ass of skilled specialists in medicine and surgery that compose the Faculty of this widely-celebrated institution.
A FAIR AND BUSINESS-LIKE OFFER TO INVAUDS.
We earnestly invite you to come, see and examine for ymmeif; 6ur institutions, appliances, advantages and success in curing
chronic diseases.. Have a mind of your own. Do not listen to or heed the cOunSel of skeptical friend# Os jealous physicians, who
know riothing of us, out system of treatment, or means of cure, yet who never lose an opportunity to misrepresent ana endeavor
to prejudice people against us. We are responsible to you for what we represent, and if ydu.. come and visit us, ana nnd that
we have misrepresented, in any particular, our institutions, advantages or success, W® will promptly refnua to you
ajl expense® of your trip. We court honest, sincere investigation, have no secret#, and are only too glad to show oil
hrterested and candid people what we are doing for suffering humanity.
NOT ALWAYS NECESSARY TO SEE PATIENTS.
By our original system of diagnosis, wc can treat many chronic
diseases just as successfully without as with a personal con
sultation. While we are always glad to see our patients, and
become acquainted with them, show them our institutions, and
familiarize them with our system of treatment, yet we have not
, seen one person in five hundred whom we have cured. The per
fect accuracy with which scientists are enabled to deduce the
most minute particulars in their several departments, appears
almost miraculous, if we view it in the light of the early ages.
Take, for example, the electro-magnetic telegraph, the greatest
invention of the age. Is it not a marvelous degree of accuracy
which enables an operator to exactly locate a fracture in a sub
marine cable nearly three thousand miles long ? Our venerable
“ clerk of the weather ” has become so thoroughly familiar with
the most wayward elements of nature that ne can accurately
predict their movements. He can sit in Washington and foretell
what the weather will be in Florida or New York as well as if
several hundred miles did not intervene between him and the
places named. And so in all departments of modern science,
MMawawM what is required is the knowledge of certain
slant. From these scientists deduce accurate con-
Hf elusions regardless of distance. So, also, in medi
_ cal science, diseases have certain unmistakable
signs, or symptoms, and by reason of this fact, we
uionaou* have been enabled to originate and perfect a sys

COMMON SENSE AS APPLIED TO MEDICINE.
It 18 a well-known fact, and one that appeals to the judgment of every thinking person, that the physician who devotes
his whole time to the study and investigation of a certain class of diseases, must become better qualified to treat such
diseases than he who attempts to treat every ill to which flesh is heir, without giving special attention to any class of diseases.
Men, in all ages of the World, who have become famous, have devoted their lives to some special branch of science, art, or
1 * thorough organization, and subdividing the practice of medicine and surgery in this institution, every invalid is treated
bw a specialist- one who devotes his undivided attention to the particular' class of diseases to which the case belongs. The
Hhrantage of this arrangement must be obvious. Medical science offers a vast field for investigation. a . n P5 yB lV ian

we cannot imagine. Why any one should consider ft otherwise
than most honorable to cure the worst cases of these diseases, we
cannot understand; and yet of all the other maladies which afflict
mankind there are probably none about which physicians in gen

We fully agree with the celebrated Dr, Bartholow. who says. I
think it a reproach to our profession that this subject has been
Bitted, in a measure by our own indifference, to pass into the
