This morninfi'H Democrat in uu article headed "Peculiar Methods," criticiseB County Clerk Eddy's method of con-ducimg tlie otlice, and complainn that bills wuich siiould he given to the re-porters for publication are withheld. The article is PO insiuimiinkly unfair and misleading that an Eagle reporter was detailed to pal her such information as he could on the subject.

Deputy County Clerk Clarence A. Cotton, who hi Id the same position un-der Mr Harvey during the last year of his incumbency, was been and shown the article, and to the question "How does Mr Eddy's administration compare with Mr Harvey's, as to suppressing, or making public, papers filed in the clerk's office?" he said: "County Clerk Eddy-has, to my knowledge, tried to follow-as nearly as potsible in the footsteps ot his predecessor, and he has ever tried to keep within the strict requirements of the law. On these two points he has been very particular aud when in doubt 1 believe has always either consulted with Mr Harvey, Deputy Clerk Carpen-ter or myself. Further, so far, I do not know of any partiality being shown to any newspaper."

Deputy Clerk Frank P. Carpenter, who has been so long identified with the office as to be one of the familiar figures and who was with Mr Harvey during eight years of the time he held the clerkship, was shown the article and he said without any hesitancy: "Why there has been no change in the method of conducting the office since Mr Eddy came in. That fellow is simply 'talking through his hat.' Several years ago in an action for libel carried up from the "Wayne circuit, entitled Peter E. Park \8. The Detroit Free Press (72 Mich, p 560), the supreme court held that 'The public have no rights to any informa-tion on private suits till they come up lor public hearing in open court,' and again in Jan Schmedding vs. William May, county clerk of Wayne county (85 Mich, p 1). 'Parties to suits may, under the direction of the court, lawfully withhold the records and papers in the case, and prevent any statement in re-gard thereto being made public until they are made public by the consent of the parties, or by proceedings in open court . '"

Ex-County Clerk Harvey was found in his place of business and after pleas-antly greeting the reporter was asked if be had seen the article and what he thought of it? "Yes I read the article referred to and I judged from it that there had been too many cases suppress-ed. I t was my rule never to keep the title of cases Iwgun off the books more than a few days. Oh, of course I t^d not give up the papers filed—that I was prohibited from doing—but the title to the case should not be kept off the books for more than a few days: that time is usually long enough to permit service to be made. Yes, this rule was sometimes vdKed. In one case which the boys knew as the great unknown, no record was made and I did not know the title to the case. #

Mr Harvey's attention was then called to the following extract from the aiticle in question:

"More than three months ago a suit for divorce was started in the circuit court. The law distinctly requires the title of all cases to be recorded on the calendar and yet the accommodating clerk has not entered the case on the records and has no record of it except in his private memorandum book."

"Ab to that, said he, I can not speak for Mr Eddy, but so far as 1 am con-cerned I would not give out that case nor any similar case when requested as in that instance by a friend—not to make it public. As I said, however, judging from the article, I think Mr Eddy has been doing too much suppress

ing. In addition to the three quoted above

several attorneys were seen and each said substantially that he had noticed no difference between Mr Harvey's methods and Mr Eddy's methods as to withholding bills f rom the reporters, when either one was requested to with-hold the bill it was withheld and if the request was overlooked the contents of the bill speedily appeared in print.—G'd

JOMKT, III. , Ap r i l 8.— A t 0 o c l o c k Friday afternoon the worst storm known for years in this region, the pow-erful (.'ale being almost cyclonic in its violence, swept up th line of the great drainage channel of the Chicago sani-tary district. At Romeo, a little vil-la-re about 10 miles north of this city and 4 miles north of Lockport, the wind caused a strange and horri-ble accident. A cantilever crane on wheels, used to carry the dirt from the drainage canal in the section managed by Mason, llodge «& King ami sublet to Dandridge & Ilanirer. started down the truck and when at the end of the truck the bottom of il was compelled to stop by the manner in which the truck is built. The top part, however, had gained such momentum that it could not stop and the enormous ma-chine. weighing '.'SO tons, fell directly on the engine house. In Mils small house were fifteen men. nine of whom were killed and six injured. The un-fortunates had gathered in the house to get out of the way of the coming storm, which was accompanied by pelting hail-stones. The cantilever is 00 feet high with arms 850 feet long and weighing 280 tons.

BUILniXOS TUMWiE. C H I C A G O , April 8 . — W i t h i n twenty-

four hours three of the fragile build-ings adjacent to the world's fair col-lapsed under the high winds that huve prevailed during several days and now lie on the ground mere piles of splinters and broken lumber. That these acci-dents were unaccompanied by- great loss of life is due to men* good fortune.

The first structure to fall was the Clarkdale hotel, which tumbled down a little af ter 3 o'clock Thursday even-ing. Seven hours later the Plymouth hotel at Seventy-second street and Stony Island avenue came to the ground with a crash, and a t noon Fri-day the Chattanooga panorama build-ing in course of construction at Fifty-seventh street ijnd Stony Island ave-nue also collapsed. The loss on the Clarkdale was about $ 2 5 , 0 0 0 ; on the Plymouth. $ 1 8 , 0 0 0 : on the panorama building. $1,200.

A furious wind and hailstorm swept over the southern portion of the city Friday evening, causing considerable damage. Trees were blown down, Dili, boards were leveled and hundreds of window lights shattered. At the expo-sition grounds but little damage was done, but the heavy rain disclosed a number of breaks in the roofsof various buildings.

DAMAOE AT ROOKFORD. ROCKFOIUI , III., April S . — A severe

windstorm passed over the city Thurs-day night, leveling trees and fences, and doing considerable damage of a minor nature at the neighboring vil-lage of Cherry Valley. The storm attained the proportions of a hurri-cane. The fronts of three store build-ings were blown in and the buildings badly torn, and two freight cars stand-ing on the Chicago & Northwestern railway track were blown over and badly smashed. No one has been in-jured in this section as far as heard.

IN W I S C O N S I N .

RACINE, Wis . , A p r i l AtS an e a r l y hour Friday morning a severe electric storm visited this section of the country and did considerable damage. A barn a t Yorkville, owned by Ralph Cham-bers, was struck by lightning and con-sumed, together with fifteen head of cattle, ten horses, farm machinery, hay and grain. The loss will amount to be-tween $ 5 , 0 0 0 and K 5 , 0 0 0 . Other build-ings were damaged by the lightning.

IN M I C H I G A N .

D E T R O I T , Mich., April 10 .—The recent storm that raged in Michigan was one of the most severe and general of the season. The financial loss runs far into the thousands, in a great meas-ure the result of el-vitric bolts. The losses reported from tha t source alone exceed $60,000. In the barns destroyed fourteen horses are known to have perished. The rain came' down in torrents, varying the monotony a t intervals with terrific showers of hailstones. At Grand Rapids telephone and elec-tric lights and motors were burned out, and the electric cars were serious-ly interfered with. Trees and out-houses were blown down and the floods following the heavy downpour overflowed sewers and flooded cellars. Railroad traffic w-as somewhat inter-fered with by the numerous washouts.

The farmhouse of Isaac F. Cressman, located 3 miles southwest of St. Johns, was struck by lightning and entirely destroyed, together with its contents. Three of Mr. Cressman's children are seriously burned.

i;vil paper presented to the Moscow con-gress last sinnmer M. Ernest Chantro, a profound student of tlilMithnoloey of north-western Asia, remonBtrated-RgaUist the use of the term "Caucasian race" as synony'-mous with "white race." Professor D. G. Brinton, well known American authority on such subjects, seconds this protest in Science and says:

M. Chantre points out that it is demon-strablothat none of the so called Caucasian peoples ever lived in the Caucasus or can be traced to the Ponto-Caspian area. The study of local arcluoolopy proves that l his tract was comparatively lately inhahitod; that its occupants in early times, as today, had no ethnic unity, but were the disjecta membra of various stocks, who fled to these mountain fastnesses as asylums; that they are w-ithout linguistic or somatologic con-nection, ami that the only proper use of the term is to apply it solely to the tribes occu-pying the main chain of the Caucasus, tribes who have no historic or ethnic Iden-tity with any others outside this area.

Yet so slowly does a correction of this kind penetrate popular science, which Is nearly always made up at second or third hand, that th* tenn "Caucasian nice" will probably survive in school geographies aud encyclopedias for a generation to come.

L e a p Year. Julius Cicsar in B. C. 45 was the first to

reform the calendar, by ordering that every year whose date number is exactly divisible by 4 contain 30(1 day%and all other years 865 days. The intercalary day was Intro-duced by counting the sixth day before the calends of March twice. Hence the name bissextile, from bis, twice, and sex, six. He also changed the beginningof the year from March 1 to Jan. 1, and also changed the name of the fifth month (Qulnt ilis) to July, after himself. The average length of the Julian year Is therefore 305^ days, which, however. Is too long by 11 minutes and H seconds, and this would accumulate in 400 year* to about three days. The Julian cal-endar continued in use until.A. D., 1582, when the date of the beginning of the se-i-sons occurred 11 days later than in B. C. 45, when this mode of reckoning time was in-troduced. And in order to rectify this dis-crepancy Pope Gregory reformed the Julian calendar by ordering t hat every year whose number is exactly divisible by 4 contain 300 days, except the centurial years, and that the cent urial years exactly divisible by 400 also contniii 3()6 days, and all other years 365 days. He also added on the 10 days by which the Julian and true calendars dif-fered, thus making the vernal equinox oc cur on or near March 21 in every year there-al t. Russia and the Greek church still use the Julian calendar for civil and eccle-siastical purposes.

A Cur ious M u i e u m . One of the most curious museums in the

world is that coAdning hundreds of thou-sands of newspapers at Aix-la-Chapelle.* This quaint museum library was founded some seven or eight years ago by Oscar For-kenbeck, who collected newspapers as oth-er people collect stamps or autographs. The whole of his income for something likf 40 years was distributed over newspaper of-fices of the civilized and uncivilized world, and be received every morning dailies pub-lished m 80 languages. By the year 1885 he found himself the happy owner of 10,000 files. He then bit on the excellent idea of founding a newspaper museum, and with this object in view sent a circular round asking the whole newspaper world to assist him in his great work. The continental press seem to have responded with enthusi-asm, and now, says The Chronicle, there is certainly no such collection of newspapers existing in the whole world. Mr. Forken beck, as was only fair, has been made libra-rian in chief, aud both he and three assist-ants are busy indexing and arranging the ever increasing collection.

F r e n c h A d v o c a t e ! of W o m a n ' * B i g h t s . The French advocates of woman's rights

do not resemble the English advocates. They effect no eccentricity or austerity of dress, but frequently appear In gowns and bonnets from the best Parisian modistes. The female Demosthenes of the league are Mme. Rouzade, a lady whoso excited elo-quence savors somewhat of fanaticism, Mme. Maria Deraismes, a lady possessed of a good vocal organ and an inexhaustible stock of argumeuts, and Mme. Astie de Valsayre, the secretary of the league, who baa been chosen as a candidate at the next elections. Their motto is perfect equality with men iu all employments and in all profession*—"forequal work, equal wages."

F o r e i t I tegervat io iu

Seven reservations of forest lands have already been made—vie., those of White river. Pike's peak and Plum creek, Colo-rado; Pecos and Canadian rivers. New Mex-ico; Bull river, Oregon: Yellowstone, lying south and east of Yellowstone park, Wy-oming, and San Gabriel, California. These comprise an area of more than 3,250,000 acres. Twenty-three other proposed reser-vations are now under consideration by the department of the interior. These are sit-uated in the states of California, Colorado, Idaho. Minnesota, Montana, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oregon, Washington uud Wyoming. '

Ind i ans as F r u i t Growers . Mcehan is authority for the statement

that many of the native tril)e« of Indians were good gardeners, and progressive ones at that. He tells in his monthly magazine that through the earlier missionaries Euro-pean fruits and vegetables were introduced to this continent, by which some of the In-dians were glad to profit. Mr. George C. Conover has an ancient map of a Seneca set-tlement near Geneva whereon is located the site of an orchard of apple trees planted by that tribe.

The P o t t e r y Tree .

The pottery tree, found in Brazil, is curi-ous and useful. One would scarcely expect to find pots aud jars and pitchers growing in, if not on, a tree, but the material fur them certainly grows in this tree. It is fonnd in the form of silica, chiefly in the bark, although tho very hard wood of the tree also yields It. To make this curious pottery the bark is burned, and what re-mains is ground to powder and mixed wilh clay.

l i r i de sma ld Supers t i t ions . It is still a current notion in many parts

of England that the bride in removing the bridal wreath must take especial care that her bridesmaids throw away every pin. Not only Is it affirmed that misfortune will over-take the bride who retains even one pin used in her marriage toilet, but woo also to the bridesmaids if they keep any of them, as their prospects of marriage will thereby be materially lessened.

There it< no tuibject of more vital im-portance to the Agricultural Conunnniiy than that of plant food and apparently there is no subject that is ao little un-derstood. I am no clumilst and why I am obosen to lead the# diecussiou of this important subject will always re -main a mystery.

One of the worst features of American farming is the extreme wastefulness of plant food, (is this any the less true in our lar^e cities?) and one of the most encouraging signs of the times is the tendency toward improvement in saving what has been worse than wasted.

The question "f sewage in our cities is becoming a serious matter and we can hope the time is not far distant when the waste matter of all our lar^e cities will be put in shape to be returned to the farms instead of polluting the streams as il now does.

Chemists tell us that the soil is the result of the destruction ol the rocks mingled with vegetable waste, it is the turning of all life organic and inorganic with Its original elements, il is the great grave yard of creation, it Is the great mine of the world, out from which conies the food of all animal and vege-table life. I t is mother earth from which all organic life springs and to whom, after completing ita little round, all matter that enters therein returns. The giant of the forest may span his thousand years of time and, towering upward a hundred feet above his fel-lows, may seem to despise his humble origin, but his mother is patiently waiting for him and, hoary with years, worn and weary, seeking rest, he bows his lofty head, falls upon her breast and receives her fond embrace.

If we give a bushel of ashes into the hands of a chemist, to tell us what it is made of, he will return it to us, Silllcon, Potassium. Calcium, Phosphorus, Sodi-um, Aluminium, Sulphur, Iron, Chlori-uiu and Magnesium. These are the ele-ments that all plants take from the soil. The soli itself obtained them originally from the solid rock. Geology tells us that by the action of the drift waves of ancient caves, mountains of water 0,000 ft. or more in height swept from the north, breaking down, filling up, and smoothing off tho ragged, craggy surface of the ancient lava. This soil is but a sprinkling on the surface of our globe, at a depth of but a few hundred feet, at the utmost, on any dpot of its million miles of surface we*would strike rock, solid to the great lava centers.

The man who could tell the world ex-actly the composition of a rod of ground and the daily changes that took place in it during the growing season and how these effect the manures applied, and how they affect it. and how the results of these actions an i reactions affect the growinir crop, would take his place among the immortals without a dissent-ing voice from his fellow men. Chem-ists have settled the fact that most of the dozen elements that enter into the composition of plants are found in suffi-cient quantity in almost all soils, leaving but potash, nitrogen and phosphoric acid as the three essentials, more or less of each of which we farmers must sup-ply.

The three chief sources of farm fer-tilizers are: barn-yard manure, growing crops or green manure and chemical or commercial fertilizers, each one of which has its especial advocates and we will speak first of yard manure. Years ago we were told if we would quit rais-ing so much grain to sell off the farm and keep more stock our farms would soon become rich, that by feeding the product of our farms to stock and re-, turning the products of our barn-yards to the farm wo would got larger crops, and then more stock aud still larger crops and tha problem seemad e;fey, but has tho results been entirely satisfactory look at some of the older dairy farms of western New York and you will find that it takes two or three times as much land to keep a cow as it did 30 years ago.

We find that the good effect of the fertilizer ia laigely offset by the tramp, tramp^ tramp of the cow and ospecially when pasture is scarce so that many farms in stock raising dirtricts afe liter-ally tramped to death. It was a com-mon practice a few years ago, when our farms were new. to raise and sell all we could and often the same crop, year af ter year, thinking that when the land began to resent the treatment all we had to do was to plow under a crop ot clover and renew the former trealment, but we found to our sorrow that the clover refused to grow and we were in a bad predicament and suddenly realized that it would take years of systematic, j u d i -cious farming to get the land again to its former fertility.

Just at this state of affairs a well dressed, smooth tongued gentleman ar -rives on the scene, he represents a wealthy firm in Buffalo and readily com-prehends the situation, he can tell you just how much each crop requires of ni-trogen, phosphoric acid and potash and can tell you just how much of each par-ticular kind of goods is required to grow any crop at a profit and still leave the land better. Your mind is jus t in the right condition to receive these truths, in fact, you are open to conviction, you invest in half a car load which in due time arrives and judging from the smell

you conclude you have struck somolhing rich In the mean lime yon have re-ci'ived a package of ciroulars from head-qunrters proving the superiority of their good over all oilier makes and congnl -ulate yourself that you have found the right firm. You follow the directions closely but leave part of the field nnfer-tilized expecting the result will surprise tho natives. When harvest time conies you almost imagine you can it.'li vhere you commenced putting on the fertilizer without looking at the stone on the fence, but neglect to call the attention of the natives to the surprising differ-ence.

Now do not conclude that I consider these three systems of improvement as a failure, for this Is far from true, but I think that for the best results we should combine a t least two of them and per-haps all three but they should be used in a different way than many of our farmers use them. If wo wished to treat yard manure as badly as we could, without actually throwing it away, we would throw it out in a loose pile through the winter and leave it exposed to the washing rains of spring when it would thoroughly leach, then through the hot dry weather of July and August to burn out what little ammonia was left, then in the fall to draw to tlie field and leave in small piles, through the winter, ready for spreading and plowing in, in the spring. Yet this is actually the way many of our farmers are treat-ing their yard manure to-day.

In 1887 Dr. Kedzie made this state-ment at an institute in Qrayling "From neglect, or lack of knowledge of the real sources of waste, the loss of valuable fer-tilizing constituents of barn yard man-ure under ordinary systems of manage-ment is enormous and there is no depart-ment of farm economy, in greater need of improvement.' '

The annual loss from this source in Michigan alone is not less than if 15,000,-000. To make a compost heap and keep well stirred is no doubt a good way. but few farmers will be t>-> the trouble of do-ing this. Another good way is to draw to the field nearly as fast as,it accumu-lates and spread on a clover sod where you intend to pasture the following sum-mer, and by using plenty of plaster in the stables you will retain much of the ammonia that would otherwise escape us and putting in stable floors (we can readily sea the necessity of tight lloors) with plenty of absorbents, instead of boring holes as used 10 be practiced so much. There is no doubt that stock-properly managed are a benefit to a farm, but too much stock is as bad or worse than none. They injure the soil by constant tramping in the spring and

by eating too closely in the summer when the land is parched and dry, by mulching the pasture fields you not only prevent the stock from biting so close but prevent the soil from becom-ing so bard. The course straw manure if properly spread becomes a source of great benefit. By feeding more sowed corn or the large southern corn, planted in hills, to the stock in the latter part of the season you can avoid pasturing so closely or turning opr stock on new seedings.

G R E E N M A N U R E , — I n n o w a y c a n a

larm be brought to a paying condition so quickly or cheaply as by plowing in growing crops, especially with the help of yard manure or chemicals, Many seem to think it a great waste to allow clover to fall down and remain on the land, claiming it a much lietter way to cut and feed to sloe!: and return the yard manure, but by the ordinary meth-ods of handling yard manure there is much more wasted than most people imagine and it is not so well distributed' An argument often advanced is that green manuring only returns to the soil what it has taken from the soil, but this is not true especially of clover and peas, which I think draw largely from the free nitrogen of the air, a - fact perhaps not thoroughly understood, but general-ly conceded,

A fair estimate of the value of nitro-gen, phosphoric acid and potash at the regular market price of these good8,add-ed to tlie soil by one heavy crop of clo-ver on one acre is not less than $40, tho only trouble is to get the heavy clover, and to get this wo may sometimes have to resort to yard manure or chemicals.

C O M M K K C I A L F E K T I L I Z E R S . — I d o n o t

know much about them although I have used nearly two carloads and it is quite evident that the people in this vicinily are not much better informed than I am. from the fact that a carload of the Western Reserve from Ohio was sold here for $20 per ton, and which is noth-ing better than iron slag, and Dr. KMI-zie pronounces it worth 25 cents per ion. or not quite so good as common garden soil.

This subject was arranged for this time that we should receive the benefit of Prof. Kedzie's instructions on the subject. I am glad to say however that I did not invest in the $20 slag phos-phate, and we should be grateful to a much abused and perhaps justly abused legislature for passing a law to protect us from dishonest fertilizers. As far as my experience has gone, in rais-ing potatoes, commercial fertilizers have not been profitable, as the potatoes do not seem to receive much benefit with less than ^ ton to tne acre of a high grade goods that would be worth about $40 per ton. but on a grain crop where clover is sown, would use from 200 to 400 lbs. por acre, as the grain ripens better and the clover gets a good start, I consider them better also in

Gentleman:—For over 4 years I have been afflicted with an eruption of the skin, which became very troublesome and I could get no relief. I suffered with constipation. I took Dullam's Great German Blood. Liver, Stomach and Kidney Remedy, and since taking I have been entirely cured. For a tonic blood punfiar and general health re-storer I can heartily recommend it.

Mrs F. C. Cone, at Paris, left this let-ter: "My husband-Forgive me if I cause you trouble, but 1 suffer so. You do not kno v what these long, w-akeful. wretched nights aro to me, and I am so tired, darling—the pain will never be better. It is not easy to take my own life, but I have been sick so long. Good-bye, my husband, I love you— your wife." This is but one of thous-ands that gives up, instead of using Dr. Miles'Restorative Nervine, and being dpeedily cured of their wretchedness. Go to D. G.

SURPRISE TO ALL After using "Mother's Friend" two

months I was so speedily and easily re-lieved that it was a surprise to those at lending me "Mother's Friend" un-doubtedly lessens the pains, shortens the lime and restores the mother speedily to health. Will recommend it to ail expectant mothers, and advise them to Use it. Mrs J. A. R Muncie, Ind.
