Spraying Bartlett Pears.The practice o f spraying or faintly

showering young fruit with liquid poison, to destroy noxious insects which injure if, has for many years been practiced by successful fruit growers.It has proved particularly advantageous to apples and pears, which from its eariiness and texture appears to he particularly reliable to the attacks c f the codling moth and of the enreulie, The work is done when the young fruit starfds erect, ready to hold the • poison in its upright cap, and when the young pears are between the size of peas and of cherries. It is sometimes necessary to repeat the operation. two or three times, or replace what, may have been washed off by heavy rains. The most commonly used poison is Paris green, thoroughly mixed and stirred with 700 times its bulk of water, and faintly and universally showered over tlie whole tree. It destroys all the codling worms, just hatching in the calyx where the moth has laid its eggs, and lor g before the pears are half grown the rains have washed off all the poison, so that it is perfectly safe to eat the fruit when mature,

Paris green is a very imperfect remedy for the eurculio on plums, and usually destroys only a part, hut it seems to be more efficient on pears, and, together with the codling moth, this remedy does valuable work on them. We have had an opportunity the present season of comparing or rather contrasting, the two modes of treatment. An orchard of Bartlett pears was sprayed three times, the rain partly interrupting its action. The result now is that the heavily loaded trees are hearing scarcely a defective specimen, while a tree, likewise heavily loaded, growing forty rods distant in a garden, has nearly every pear more or less distorted and disfigured by the codling worms in the calyx and core, and by the cor- eulic at the at the sides.

W e have described more in detail the process of spraying in our past numbers. London purple, i f pure, and when not choking or obstructing the fine spraying rose, answers as well as Paris green, and some orebardists have used the white arsenic, which they find, cheaper and quite as efficient, but it is considered more dangerous than Paris green, because it does not exhibit so distinctly, in any vessel in Avhich'it lias been used, its peculiar and conspicuous green color.—Country Gentleman,

Cleveland will have the 158 electoral votes of the solid south, made solid by murder and outrage, to the extent o f over 4,000 lives in the single state of lioulsana, hut he will get no more this time.

From: 17S9 to 1SS5, only seventy-five vetoes were sent to congress hy Presidents of the United States. During the term that has elapsed since 1SS5, over 300 have been sent, 200 of which were pension vetoes.

Forty-one of the veterans have been turned out o f office by the Cleveland administration in Michigan - alone. Seventeen from the Detroit Custom House. Two were deposed to make room for two Detroit saloon keepers.

The democratic committee has appointed Dr. C. S. Maynard, of Paw Paw, to run for congress -in place of Geo, L. Yaple, who declined with thanks. That will be a good deal like running an election with but One tieket in the field.

It will be interesting to hear the democratic speakers during the balance o f the campaign, explain the attempt o f democratic members of the house to pass the Nicaragua canal bill, on the promise from, the company receiving the benefit to pay $100,000 to the democratic campaign fund. It was another failure.

On the first page o f this paper we give the schedule and changes made by the Senate substitute for the Mills bill.. The substitute makes about the same general reduction in the government income as the Mills bill, but instead o f attacking the protection policy of duties makes the greatest reduction in the internal revenue, which is a direct tax upon the people.

In Arkansas they elect men to legislate for us by breaking into county clerk’s offices and robbing them of poll boxes and returns, and falsifying the election. Democrats elected here by honest means, work hand in hand and are controlled in caucus by the Arkansan who steals his way into power. I f no other question than this were before the American people, it should be sufficient to make every northern man a republican. The man wiio votes the democratic ticket here, votes to countenance the Arkansas method of stealing ballot boxes and Loaisana and Georgia method o f murder. They are all for the success of Cleveland and democracy.

Never send a dollar away from home when the article that dollar will purchase can be obtained at home. Money is our financial blood. Its circulation keeps- tho business body alive. Bleed that body by sending your money away from home and soon trade will put-on 'a look of lethargy and inactivity. Always trade at homo. It is twice blessed. It helps the person patronized and finds its way to you again.—Niles Star.

Bless your happy soul, that is just the principle the republican party is trying hard to beat into democratic beads ; that it is better to trade at home among oursel ves than to send our money to Europe fo r what we want to eat and wear, when we can - just as welt make them right here at home in Uncle Sam’s domain, give bis boys and girls, employment and keep their cash at home.

The State Grange meets in Lansing, December i t

mThe local democratic committee has

issued a circular which was copied in the Enterprise last week, headed “Enormous Taxes,” charging profligacy on the republican governors because the state tax aggregates more now than under Begole. The whole thing is about as fair as to charge lack o f economy upon Spencer & Barnes because it costs more per year to run their factory' with forty men than with twenty men employed. In the first place, Michigan Is growing about as rapidly as any other state o f equal territory, and as it grows Its aggregate of taxes will, naturally increase. During Gon. Alger’s administration, the state built a $200,000 Soldier’s Home, in Grand Rapids. Perhaps the democrats will object to that as unnecessary extravagance. The asylums for insane have been increased. A prison 'bu It in the upper peninsula. An addition made to the reform school for girls at Adrian. Besides, now the state pays for conveying prisoners to the state prisons, and under Begole’s administration and before, this bill was paid by the counties who owned the criminals before conviction. I f the readers o f this circular will take pains to examine their tax receipts, they will discover but little variation in the amount of tax for each $1000 valuation, excepting that each odd year it will be higher than the even years, because o f the expense of the legislature which meets bi-anuually. On the whole the circular is about as unfair as is possible to make, but pot more so than it is natural to expect from the source from which it came.

The N ew Railroad.County Surveyor Graves, who is now

here, says the new railroad project is in statu quo. The Buchanan people have so far failed to secure free right o f way fOr the road through their town and the company expect to run the line through Galien instead, which would make it three miles longer but would give a course easier to build upon, some engineering obstacles on the Buchanan line being thus avoided. Mr. Graves still expresses confidence in the construction of the road early next year.—Benton Harbor Palladium.

If the lack of action by Buchanan has placed the railroad scheme in static quo, it is a weak affair indeed. In the first place, Buchanan litis never been informed what is wanted o f her. It has been rumored that they want right o f way through the township. This is very indefinite. Right o f way may be secured in one part of the township very cheaply, and in another be very expensive. Ancther story was, that the company wanted the narrow' gauge roadbed. When Mr. Carlisle, or Lis agents have made a request o f Buchanan and Buchanan refuses, it may be time enough for such talk as above. A new complication appeare to have entered into the railroad business of the county by ilie sale of the narrow guage road and the assurance that it will be put in operation in a short time. A t present it is pretty hard to tell just what or may not be done. Buchanan will not allow the new road to go around her if it can be hindered by any reasonable terms. W e are not ready to give away tlie township to get some one to build a railroad through it.

State Items.There is a man in Manistee named

Satan.A Tuscola County farmer stated yes

terday that lie knows of a number o f farmers in that county who have in their granaries the yield from their wheat fields for the past five years, some having as much as 5,000 bushels. Another farmer said that there are pleifty of wheat growers in Franlcen- mntii who had done the same thing. These men are all wealthy and not being pushed for money preferred to keep the wheat rather than to sell it at tlie prices that have prevailed for several years. They will now doubt: less unload as soon as they believe the boom has reached the highest point.

Edward Chase, of Gladwin County and Mrs. Anderson, of this city, were married a few days since after a rather curious courtship. Some time since Chase, who is the owner of a farm in Gladwin, and a single man, though well on in life’s journey, applied to Owen Bowers to obtain for him a suitable housekeeper, and was, as a result, introduced to Mrs. Anderson, who is about his own age. The couple were quite favorably impressed with each other on first sight and soon became sufficiently well acquainted to admit of Chase proposing matrimony. He told her of his farm, described its beauties in glowing language and invited her to become its mistress. But Mrs. A. had never seen tlie farm and was not satisfied to accept as truth other people’s impressions, so she deferred giving a decided answer until the next time her granger lover should come to the city, and he returned home alone. A few days later Mrs. Anderson took steps to inform herself about the real facts concerning tbe farm She boarded a train and was deposited at a point several miles from the Chase place'just as tlie shades of night were falling. The only thing in sight that bore any resemblance to a human habitation was a deserted lumbercamp and to this the traveler made her way, found it deserted and at once took possession. Having made a fire to counteract the chilliug effects of the night air, she wrapped herself in her cloak and slept till morning, when she set oat on foot to fiud the Chase farm. Two dollars hired a passing farmer to carry her to her destination and in a short time she had made a survey of the place and Informed the proprietor she was ready to wed liim. Together the two returned to this city and were married and then hied tliqrn back.—East Saginaw News.

The Swift Specific Co., Atlanta, Ga.: .Gentlemen—I can cheerfully and truth

fully say that S. S. S. is the greatest blood purifier on earth. In 1SS4 I contracted blood poison. Physicians treated me with no good results. I took a half dozen different kinds of blood medicines, but, without receiving any permanent relief ! I was induced to try S. S. S. I began tbe first bottle with tlie gravest doubts of success. I had been so often deceived, But improvement came, and I continued its use until perfectly well. I have since married, and have a healthy family. No trace of the disease is seen. Swift’s Specific did all this for me, and I am grateful. Yours truly, ’ J. S. Strader.

TEE LONDON IIORROR;WHITECHAPEL, THE DISTRICT OF • THE-RECENT AWFUL MURDERS!

I t I s a I'u rt o f the, W o r ld 's M etrop olisK eekin g in V ico anti Steeped- in P overtyanti Misery— Som e T errib lo M urders o fH istory.

London now lias a horror that interests the polico and public o£ the civilized world,, and has called tut a bewildering variety of opinions from experts in the morbid anatomy of crime and insanity. The plainest statement o f the facts excites anger, pity and disgust. In a few weeks seven women of the lowest class o f unfortunates to be found in the notorious slunSS of Whitechapel have been found dead in the streets; in each case the corpse was shockingly mutilated, and in all hut one the whole internal organ o f reproduction was removed, the line of section indicating that the act was done by a person versed in the anatomy o f the parts, and skillfu l with the surgeon's knife In the one case where this was not done tho body was still: warm and bleeding, indicating that tho perpetrator had been frightened away before, completing his hideous task. ’

During the same period the corpse o f a woman-similarly mutilated was found in: a town in the north of England; and if, ns is, likely, tho murderer was the same, this makes his eighth victim. Tho first two cases excited no great interest, as quarrels and murders are no new thing in the Whitechapel district; but, tho horriblo monotony of the crimes has since made this a case of world wide note; it recalls the cases of the

WHERE THE HCROEKS WERE PERPETRATED.noted French marquis of two centuries ago, who is said to have killed 200-females of all ages; o f the French medical student who confessed to killing seventeen women, o f Jesse Pomeroy,, the boy murderer, and many others.

Alienists are unanimous in the opinion that the murderer is a monomaniac with a homicidal tarn; and many add that ho is what medical science calls a “ sexual pervert”—that is. a. man in whom the natural instincts have been changed by disease or excess into a blind hatred and desire to kill and mangle. Such cases are not so uncommon as the unlearned Would suppose. In the notorious Bender murders in JLabetto county, Knn.,inlS73, allthe victims, were men except that the little daughter of one man, traveling with her father; was killed with him; and in each case the mutilations were unmentionable. As none o f tho portions of the bodies removed were found, the people concluded that Late Bender, the directing genius o f the gang, who claimed wonderful healing powers and converse with extrahuman agencies, had used them in the vile incantations she practiced- It is not easy fo r the healthy mind to conceive of such degraded creatures; yet medical history records many similar cases, nearly ali men. Women murderers nearly al ways resort to poison, as even the most depraved retain their natural horror of Wood; hut with men the exact opposite is true. The homicidal man maniac takes a wild joy In seeing the flow o f blood, in looking on the ghastly wounds and tho ■writhingsof his victim.

The London police havebeen completely at sea,, and some o f tho theories put forth by their chief are too absurd for one’s patience. One, for instance, was that an American medical student did the deeds because he wanted to collect a number of anatomical specimens I The most reasonable theory is that the monomaniac has been injured, or thinks he has, by one of these women, and is wreaking his vengeance on the class. His cunning is. wonderful—not an uncommon thing in monomaniacs. Dr. Will-

BfiCSl’S RO W , WHERE OXE BODY W A S FOUND,

iam Hammond, the eminent alienist, very sensibly says that the police have gone wrong from the start, because they have looked only for aself evidentvillian, a man “ whose face would go far to hang him,” while the probabilities are many to one that the perpetrator is a decorous and soft spoken gentleman, living an; apparently virtuous life, a man whose closest acquaintances do noisuspect of crime. Snch: was the appearance o f the noted De Betz, the French “ Bluebeard” above referred to, and o f the young man who confessed to seventeen: murders. Incidentally it maybe noted that Kate Bender was not all unattractive, and that Jesse, Pomeroy was what many people would call a “ fine looking -boy.” He was sent to the Massachusetts state’s prisonfor life, and though the papers Stated that Kate escaped, there are men in Kansas who could show you the very spot where she, her half witted brother and her parents were laid beneath the prairie socL.

Chief Inspector Byrnes, o f Now York city, accepts the opinion o f Dr. Hammond and in sists that the New Y ork police could have caught the man by using the women as decoys. He adds:

“ We caught the fellow who had a mania for throwing vitriol upon women’s: dresses red banded immediately after it was reported. His crime waslocalizetL” He frequented Fourteenth street I made victims for him, and m y men were thickly scattered through that district. W e have no such autocratic powers as the London poHee, but i f a crime is so plainly localized in one particular district, as in the case of these London murders, we would most assuredly arrest the perpetrator in short order.”

An-assemblage of men is an accumulation o f A2oliaa harps, whose notes are discordant or harmonious, according to the way tho wind blows.—Carman Sylva

ROBERT J. BURDETTE.

H ow th e H um orist, N ow Ordained a P rea ch er, B egan to W rite H um or,

’ Robert J. Burdette—Bob—has just .been licensed to preach by the Lower Merion Baptist church, of the Philadelphia Baptist association, and will soon leave the lecture: field. He says; be preached bis first serinon one Summer Sunday while he was spending his vacation in some, mountain, retreat. The little church there was without a pastor, and he took th9 pulpit, at the earnest solicitation of its members.

The story of Burdette’s touching devotion to hiswife,now dead, is famillarto everyone,

but the following recital of his beginnings of a, humorist may be new to many. He was at that time local editor of Tho- Peoria Transcript He had to fill two col umns a day. It. was hard w ork ., D o g fights were scarce and human beings; were dis

gustingly sober and peaceable. His page was dull..

At home, was his wife, ill o f the disease of which she finally died, and to cheer her up he stayed at home an hour or two at noon and wroteimaginarylocal events,of an exciting nature and read them to her.. They were grossly improbable and" funny. They

"did not have a debilitating effect on her, but actually made her laugh, and one day she saidr “Bobbie, this; ridiculous stuff o f yours is bad; enough to prink Having seen- that '1 snrvl.'e; it, why don’t you try it, on your readers?”

He cautiously did so, dealing itoutin small doses. It was copied everywhere This had been going on for a fortnight, mnybq. When one day Mr. Emory, editor of the paper, sent to Robert requesting him- to come to his private. room, “AhaPisaid Robert, robbing hlf hands and gtowiite, from stem to stern.

ROBERT J. BURDETTE.■' V

'TveTelched him! He's going to raise my salary!” ’ <• “ Sir- Bnrdet'c,” said Mr. Emory, when tho audacious youth was seated, “ two lunatics escaped, from the asylum last week, I believe 3” -V

“ Yes, sir; yes—two—but one o f them was captured.” .

“ One was' - captured,” said the editor, thoughtfully, “ one— only one. W hat bo- conic of the other, Mr. Burdette?’

“ He hasn’t been found yet,” answered the jocoso youth; “ they're scouring the woods for him.”

“ Is it not possible that he may he secreted about the building somewhere? In ypur room, for instance?

“ Why, no, Mr. Emoryl What put Such an idea into your head?”

“ Have you among your friends anybody who is a driveling, idiot, Mr. Burdette?”

“ Ho, sir; no, oh, no, sir, I think not!" protested the youth, moving uneasily in his chair.

“ Who might get into the office and insert articles without your kuow.Iedge--in your long absence at dinner, for instance?’’

“ Oh, no, Mr, Emory, no; why do you ask?’ “ I met an intoxicated man the other night

going down the stairs. Who was It?”“X don’t know, indeed,” said Burdette.

“ Wo had just bounced him.”“ Did he write anything for the paper clan

destinely and surreptitiously while he was here?” persisted the editor,

“ Why no, o f course; I see everything that goes in this page.”

“ Well, then, Mr; Burdette, who is it that makes those sickly attempts to be funny that I see in your columns every day?”

Burdette blushed, rubbed some dirt off his left pantaloons leg with hisright boot, and saidr “ Really,, Mr. Emory, I—you ser—I hardly—well—the fact is—there’s nothing avaricious about me, Mr. Emory, but I shall • have to claim those myself.”

“ Oh!” exclaimed the editor, feigning Surprise, “ You? Well, don't do so any more. They make me melancholy. They are dreadful lugubrious. They seemed tohave ema- .nated from a wrecked brain. Yon can go to your room, Mr. Biirdette. 1 wouldn’t have thought it of you. Don’t do so any more. I f there’s anything funny to be written, I ’ll write it myself.”

Burdette went homo all broke up. Ho resigned next day and crossed tho Mississippi. “ I left,” says the humorist, “ because, sincerely, I couldn’ t look him in the face after that, -I had been caught in the act and felt like a guilty thingl"

the political battlefield and those particular sections where the battle now rages hottest. Each globe is colored to show the majority at each of thelast four presidential elections— Republican, black; Democratic, white. Thus, if the state was Democratic in 1ST2, the upper left hand quarter is white; i f in 1S7G, the upper right hand quarter; i f in 1SS0, the lower left hand quarter, and the remaining quarter forlSSL The quarters are in like manner white for Republican success in those years. This shows the curious groupings of the states, fifteen northern states being in solid black and five southern states in solid white, meaning that the former states are the “ solid north” and the latter the “ solid south.”

EXEMPLIFYING IT.

A B ridge a t B ilboa , Spain, w ith a M ovab le F loor— N ew Screw Tor Steam. Vessels-—Bssay o f a ' Genius at a F lying M achine.

The historic old city of Bilboa is on the northern coast of sunny Spain, situated about twelve miles from the month o f the river of the same name. A t the river entrance, on each opposite side, are the hustling towns (for Spain) o f Arenas and Portugalete. Each

b il b o a ’s Ne w b r id g e . town has its railway and travel car route to Bilboa, but no steam ferry or bridge exists to establish communication across the stream. One difficulty as to abridge has been the great expense, having in view the arrangement of the proper grade. The problem, however, has been lately solved by M. Alberto Paiacio, a talented architect, who has designed a rather novel movable bridge.

The structure is on the suspension principle. A t the dock line on each side Of the river are two iron piers, on which the bridge cables are supported. The towers and cables need only have strength enough to support themselves and a suspension platform or car on which the traffic is carried. Hence the construction is much lighter and less costly than an ordinary bridge would bo. Between the towers two paiis of rails are arranged, on which runs a truck, pendant from which, b y means of a skeleton frame and guy ropes, is a platform for passengers, carriages, horses and carts, etc. This platform is hauled back and forth across the river by means o f an endless cable worked by steam engine at the base of one of the towers. The platform moves on a level with the street grade on either side of the river, and is therefore very convenient of access for ail kinds o f traffic.

The height o f the bridge at the center Of the span is about 150 feet above high water, thus allowing plenty o f clearance for vessels. The bridge will cost §75,000. " .

The United States government is anxious to develop high speed in its new war vessels, and has offered a bonus of §50,003 for .every “ knot,” or nautical mile, gained Over nineteen knots an hour- CoL T, T. Woodruff, of palace car fame, thinks he has gained tho.re- quired point by means o f liis invention, here figured. His plan is to place two screws on each side o f the vessel, instead of a single or double screw at the stern, and he believes the contrivance will enable £ ship to make thirty

NEW SCREW FOR STEAM.VESSELS, knots an hour. As the screws can be run in either direction, independently; he claims also, that vessels provided with his invention can be tumodin their own length, a consummation often, devoutly to ho wished for, especially in. harbors; Many steam navigation experts believe CoT, Woodruff’s invention a very valuable one. •» ■ ■

- A New Y ork inventor named Alexander McCarthy is exhibiting a large model embodying his ideas on the subject of aerial navigation- ------ -- . _ J.

' I t has a six bladed propeller wheel, five feet in diameter, placed horizontally about seven feet from the floor. Below this,' on two axles, aro skeleton wheels, live, feet in diameter, carrying each five fans with a surface of about 350 square inches each. As -these wheels revolve tho funs foathorj' so that they comb up edgewise and turn flat, exercising pressure on the air only when 'floating downward and* on pal-t o f the backward stroke. Power to twirl the big wheel above and those at tho sides, with tho incidental feathering o f the fans, is, affordeiTby a.sys- tem o f geared wheels in the center, operated, by pumping handles from the- rear. It is all enormously heavy,, with big, strong framework of wood and iron; but that don’ t matter much, as Mr- McCarthy says ho never intended to do any skimming among the clouds with this machino, but just had it constructed to see how it would look, and to experiment with its capability for developing power. .Wheaitisset in motion and those feathering fans begin, getting in their work it makes a diabolical clatter, but, so far as anybody can see, that is all i t does. M r. Mc-

m ' c a r t h y ’s f l y i n g m a c h i n e ,Carthy says that he has another idea about those fans now. Instead of making them feather, he will have them open and shut like a lady's fan. And he is going to change the big wheel up, aloft, giving it instead of six blades, four, each curling up to a common center, where he expects the gathered and compressed currents Of air to exorcise an enormous upward pressure. Kb balloon enters into his Scheme. He doesn’t propose to be hampered by any clumsy gas bag, but just to have a nice, compact, convenient contrivance by which a fellow can pump himself up. He says his invention is as yet somewhat crude.

Take an ordinary visiting card and bend down at light angles about half an inch of each end of the card. Place it on the table, standing on the bent ends, and ask any person to blow it over. This seems easy enough, but it may be tried for horn’s without succeeding. It is, however, to bo done by blowing sharply on the table at some distance from the card.

A STATUE OF. LONGFELLOW.

Tt W as R ecently Unveiled at n is N atiro P lace, Portland, Me.

The native city of Longfellow. Portland, Me., has a statue of the poet which has recently been unveiled. Longfellow was not only bora in Portland, but lived there during his childhood and youth, and there fell in love with Ills first wife. There the house in which he was born still stands—a large three story dwelling, now reduced from the birthplace of a poet to a tenement house.

Mr. Franklin Simmons, the designer of the statue, is a native of Maine, who hasa studio in Roma The monument consists of a pedestal of granite, whichsupports a bronze statue of the poet. Tho opening lines to Mr. George E. B. Jackson's prelude give a poetic description of tho statue:

The sculptured form,’Tis but the semblance.And still 'tis be!Amid the busy throng Calmly he sits;O f all that pass along Heedless is he.His gaze is fixed toward home;Ho loved it welL

' And yet ho soeth naught;His ears atteDtTo catch the rustling leavesOf DeerLng’s woods,But still he heareth notl Well hath the sculptor wrought.Making tho seeming real.The fiction fact,And In enduring bronze His very form hath caught.

Longfellow was a poet of the people. Tho people don’t read Shelley, or Browning, or even Byron, except a certain limited class, but anyonocan understand and appreciate Longfellow. Ho appeals to the heart and to the highest moral sense. No short poem is better known today thanhis “ Psalm of Life,” which has doubtless had a more wholesome effect upon the masses of the American people than a thousand sermons. Children can read Longfellow, and about his poems there is a peacefulness, a hopefulness soothing to old people who have lived to a time of life when they like to be assured that

The grave is not its goal.The English, that peoplo whose lino of

brilliant poets is longer and more truly royal

PORTLAND’S STATUE OF LONGFELLOW, than its lino o f longs, gave .Longfellow the place to which he is entitled among English poets by placing his bust in Westminster abbey. These honors are jnst, but as one of she closing stanzas of the prelude says:

The poet needs no monument In lasting bronzo or stone;So long as man shall live His silver words alone Shall keep his memory green!
