TREATMENT OF GRAPE DISEASES. The prinoipal diseases affecting the grape are black rot, downy mildew, powdery mildew -and anthracnose. BLACK ROT. Clean the vineyard thoroughly in the spring, burning all trimmings, rotten berries, dead leaves, etc. When the buds begin to open spray with bordeaux mixture, taking care to wet the new growth and fruit -bearing wood. In ten or twelve days make a second spraying, and follow this with a third as soon as the fruit is well set. In case of rainy weather, additional treat- ment should be made, at intervals of twelve or fifteen days, until the fruit begins to show signs of ripening: In an average season six treatments are usually necessary to hold the•disease in check.. In case of much rain, however, eight sprayings would better be given. As a modification of the foregoing treatment, the first three applications may be made with bordeaux mixture, while for the others the ammoniacal solution may be used. The only ad- vantage in this case is that there is not so much likelihood of having stain- ed fruit at the harvest, if the bor- deaux mixture is properly made and applied, t here need be little trouble from this source. DOWNY MILDEW. Downy mildew may be successfully combated by the methods recommended for black rot. In fact, where the two diseases occur together, as they do to a greater or less extent throughout the grape -growing regions of the eastern United States, treatment for the one will answer for the others In some sections downy mildew and brown rot of the berries, which are due to the same fungus, occur alone, and in such cases the ammoniacal solution will be found an effective remedy.. The Lung - us of downy mildew and brown rot usu- ally comes on later than the one causing black rot, and for this reason the treat meats need not begin so early where downy mildew occurs alone. The first spraying should be made soon after the fruit forms, and other appli- cations should follow at intervals of twelve or fifteen days, as recommend- ed for black rot. POWDERY MILDEW. This disease seldom does muoh in- jury, as it usually comes on late in the season.' In regions where it, is known to prevail every year, applications of ammoniacal solution will doubtless hold the parasite in cbeciat Flowers of sul- phur has also been extensively used; in fact, on the Pacific Coast and in grap- eries this is almost the only remedy applied. ANTHRACNOSE. This Is quite a serious disease in some seetions,and as yet has not yielded as readily to treatments as other grape maladies. Tho directions given for black rot should be allowed is combat- ing this disease, using bordeaux mix- ture throughout the work.. In addi- tion, the vines should he carefully examined before the leaves put out,and whenever the large scars produced by the fungus are seen they should bo out out. Good results have followed the use of a strong solution of iron auiph- ate applied to the wood during the winters The solution may be made by pouring a pint of sulphuric acid upon twenty-five pounds of iron sulphate,and then slowly adding fifty gallons of wat- er. In no case should this preparation be used after growth starts. MARKETING BUTTER. Whether sales are made to stores or regular customers, it pays to send butter away in as good shape as possible. Some customers prefer their butter in rolls containing one pound. A deft handler of the ladle will read- ily apportion and ishape the proper amount, after some experience, and af- fix her stamp, which should be uni- form and as simple as is consistent with true elegance, as a fern leaf, for example: If the butter -maker is inex- perienced., or has no scales (with which every housekeeper should be provided), then procure a "butter -cutter," which cuts the butter into rolls or brick -shape ed blocks containing one pound, and al- so affixes a stamp: We believe these cutters can be procured at most stores. While the nice tact of most women will discern what is proper, and so sup- ply dainty and nice surrouudings for their butter when sending away to market, yet we have known some who were careless in this respect, and sent a really fine article away wrapped in any odds and ends of muslin that came to hand.1 We have even known but- ter to be sent to "stores" wrapped in pocket handkerchiefs, and the lady who so apparelled it thought she was doing the genteel thing, toot In these days of cheapness there is no excuse for any housekeeper no difference how limited her circumstances may be, not provid- ing herself with at least two or three napkins Ar towels of linen, which should be set apart for butter alone, and not be made to do duty as a bib for baby, or to polish table ware. If no better can really be afforded, rather than depend upon "fragments" of ap- parel, save the sacks of thin muslin that dais salt is sold i ; ripapart ,hems he ym n,ap , , laundry nicely, and after wetting in brine, wrap one around each roll. Nev- er wrap butter M paper, unless parch- ment paper is used. If your butter is to be sent to a distant Inarket use wooden buckets or tubs, which should be soaked in brine before the butter is packed in them.. If you. desire to perk your butter and jwait rise in the market use stone ars. Have them perfectly clean,sweet and cold; sprinkle salt lightly in the bottom and on the shies: Be sure that all buttermilk is worked out. Place the butter in the jar, and with the wooden potato masher, previously scald- ed end rinsed afterward,press evenly and firmly; have a cloth(ainch larg- er arg er in circumference than the jar) wrung out of cold water, lay it over the but- ter and press out all the air, cover with an inch of salt, spread evenly, and press the cloth olose to the side of the jar.. When the next lot is ready to pack take off the cloth, salt and all, and lay it in a dish to be used again. The cloth and salt are ta-exclude the. air. Proceed in the same manner as before until the jar is within an inch of being full; then cut a cloth that will just cover the butter, press so as to exclude all air bubbles, then cover with brine, strong as can be made.\ It does not matter if it be thickened with salt. Tieup with another cloth, three or four thicknesses, and cover all with a plate or wooden cover: When wanted to use, remove salt and brine; rinse and TAE EXETER, TIMES work out into rolls; Butter so prepar- ed will keep almost indefinitely and pre- serve its. flavor. GOOD SELLING CHEESE.. Mr. John Robertson of Scotland,who has been in Canada buying cheese for a Glasgow firm, visited the dairy sohool in Sussex, New Brunswick, the other day, and addressed the students oa "good selling cheese." He said the first thing the buyer looked at was the boxes; these should be neatly made and carefully piled and branded. Then the cheese must be neatly bandaged; . not more than threefourths of an inoh should be turned over and carefully laid down. This neat appearance is neces- sary to give the buyer a good. impres- sions Then the quality of the oheese is as essential as the appearance; No ono wants a dry, hard cheese4 It must be meaty, good flavored, and otherwise suit the market it is intended for, AN IMPENDING STRUGGLE. Sir Charles Mike Predicts a IiuropeaIL War —England Will be Alone in the Fight. A letter from Mr. Gladstone was pub- lished in London the Other day de- nouncing the wholesale increase of ex- penditures on armaments as wild, want- on, and perilous, but it fails to evoke any sympathy. The public is more moved by a serious article from the pen of Sir Charles Dike, just publish- ed, predicting that Great Britain, sin- gle-hauded, is destined to engage in a great struggle against Germany, Russia, and France combined. The fight, be claims, may come at any time within a decade, ostensibly about Egypt, but, really, on account of jealousy of Great Britian's colonial expansion. Therefore, Sir Charles urges Great Britain to hold herself free from any alliances which might only prove illusive, and devote herself to the development of her defences. The Spectator propounds the ques- tion as to what role America will play in such, a struggle affecting her colon- ial interests. The discussion regarding England's "splendid isolation" is again to the fore. During the past week awell- known military strategist, lecturing before the chief military institution, drew an alarming cloture of London's defenceless condition. If, he declared, Use Channel fleet were defeated, or lured away to distant fighting, Eng- land would be loft without her breastplate, and an invader could easi- ly reach the Empire's heart. His idea was that London should be fortified like Strasburg or Metz, and if the War Office should endorse the sound- ness of his arguments, and ask the Government to provide the necessary money, the request, in all probability, would be granted. As a matter of fact, large sums are being expended at this moment in building detached forts around Lon- don and strengthening the fortifica- tions of the Mersey, Clyde, and Tyne. The money appears in the estimates under a general head, and few Eng- listionhmen have an adequate idea how much work is being done in this direc- . Renewed attention is also being given by responsible military experts to the defences of Halifax and Van- couver, and possibly other points in. the Western hemisphere; and there is reason to believe that a small com- mittee, installed at the War Office and working in concert with the Ad- miralty, has been charged to discover what modifications are necessary and desirable in the defences of Canada, the West Indies, etc., in view of the fact that in a few years the Unit- ed States will become a great naval power. Presumably, the committee's instructions do not end with defensive schemes, but it is impossible to say more than to announce the fact that the committee exists, and is at work. MODERN GUNS. Awful Foree of an. Eight -Inch Gun to the Chilean War. In dwelling upon the wonderful pow- er of modern guns Albert Matthews gives illustrations from the recent Chi- lean civil war, showing the effective- ness of the smaller sizes of breech - loading rifled guns. A shot weighing 250 pounds, from an eight -inch gun of Ft. Valdivia, in Val- paraiso Harbor, struck the cruiser Blanco Encalada above the armor belt, passed through the -thin steel plate on the side, went through the Captain's cabin, took the pillow from under his head, dropped his head on the mattress with a thump, but without injuring a hair, passed through the open door into the messroom, where it struck the floor, and then glanced to the ceiling. Then it went through e wooden bulk- head an inch thick into a room, 25 by 42 feet, where 40 men were sleeping in hammocks. It killed six of them out- right and woundsd six others, three of h s whom died, after ' which it passed through a steel bulkhead, five inches thick, and ended its course by striking a battery outside, in which it made a dent nearly two inches deep. It was filled with sand. Had it released dead- ly gases no one knows what damage it might have done. A tour -hundred -and -fifty -pound mis- sile from a ten -inch gun in the same fort struck the same vessel on its eight - inch armor. It hit square on a bolt. The shell did not pierce the armor, but burst outside the vessel. It drove the bolt right through, and in its flight the bolt struck an eigbt-inch gun, complete- ly disabling it. Such is the power of the small -sized guns. • HOW TO STOP AN EXPRESS. Suburban Resident—See here, sir 1 You told me that country place I bought of you was only thirty-five min- utes from the city.

Thrilling Climax of a South African Ele- phaut than Described by an Eye -Wit. ness—A Tremendous Struggle and a Terrible Catastrophe. A single elephant is 'something of a show—if he is seen parading along the streets, alt the boys in town are soon at his heels; and a drove of a dozen or twenty of these huge beasts is considered warrant enough for such phrases as "Greatest Show on Earth," and all the grandiloquence of the big- gest and most flaming circus posters. But what think you of a drove of 236 elephants, trumpeting with rage, mad with pain and terror. stampeding like a herd of frightened. cattle? That would make a. show worth going some distance to see; and, indeed, it was necessary to go as far as to Africa. Un- fortunately, too, the price of the tick- ets was high; for most of the specta- tors paid for admission to that circus nothing less than their lives! A few. however, escaped, and one of these— Mr. William Bowles, an .Englishman by birth, told me this story. And, although the affair occurred in the year of the Queen's jubilee, be says that so far as his knowledge goes no detailed account has ever been pub- lished. "We had conte to Africa," said Mr. Bowles, "for the purpose of eatching elephants. The trap was planned by Mr. George Sanderson, superintendent of the British kheddnha, at Dacca, and was probably the LARGEST EVER CONSTRUCTED. It was formed of a round pen, 105 yards in circumference, with two mas- sive walls of stone, 300 yards in length, diverging from the gateway. These walls spread out like the legs of a pair of open tongs, and were 75 yards apart at the tips. ' Elephants were known to be very numerous in the vicinity of the Garo Hills, where the trap was built, and the originator of the scheme hoped to make a big haul. And he did. That the undertaking was auda- cious is the least that can be said. "Several months were spent in the construction of this immense affair, though a few weeks would have suf- ficed for atrap of ordinary material and dimensions—for palisades of wood are usually employed, and are found. quite suffistent. When the walls were finished they were quickly covered with branches and foliage; otherwise no elephant could have been induced to enter. When all was complete it. was as strong as a fortress, yet so disguised that even these clever animals would not suspect a snare." Tbo next task wan to mass the ele- phants from the surrounding jungle, and drive them toward the pen. This involves careful maneuvering, since, if the animals are in the least alarmed, they break away m i:li directions. "We began the drive in the forenoon, and to our great surprise found the elephants gathered in one place, in- stead of being scattered through the langle, as usual; and their name was egion.We got them started, how- ever, with very little difficulty. Though the elephant is naturally of an extreme- ly cautious and suspicious temper, THB GREAT SNARE was so skillfully screened that the whole herd walked good-naturedly into the jaws of the trap. "Then the excitement began. When all were between the walls of the fun- nel -shaped entrance, it became neces- sary to drive them forward into the pen at the apex. Three fire lines had Been prepared—the first extending from tip to tip of the spreading walls and the second and third parallel to this, but nearer the gateway. On these lines dry grass had been laid in bundles, hidden by green leaves, ready to be fired the moment the herd had crossed them. "As soon, therefore, as the elephants had passed the first line, the drivers closed in from all sides with loud shouts and applied lighted torches to the dry bundles. Instantly a great wall of fire flamed up behind the poor animals, who rushed forward terror-stricken. 'Mr Sanderson, who was perched up in a tree to get a good view of their movements. was hardly less terror- strickea when he perceived the size of the herd. There was good ground for fear that so vast a number could not got through the narrow gate before the fire would reach them. He had not expected a drive of more than 150, and had he gathered in only 100, he would have been quite satisfied. He saw be- fore him more than 200, frightened and unmanageable, and he knew that the pen would scarcely accommodate so great a number, He saw the tumul- tuous herd jammed into the apex near the gate, and the flames advancing up- on them driven by a high wind. The situation was FULL OF PERIL. "For a time, however, all went well. The elephants were pouring through the narrow gateway into the inclos- ure much as liquid goes through a funnel into a jug; and he had begun to hope that be might safely bag them all in these cramped quarters, when he was startled by 'evidences of mutiny from within. For as soon as the ani- mals inside became aware of their cap- tivity, they began to strive to get out the same way that they had come in, and massed In such strength as to ef- fectually blockade the gateway, while the fire pressed close and urged on the frantic herd outside. "It was a tremendous battle. It re- solved itself into a sheer contest of strength—a sort of monstrous cane - rush between two columns of infuriated elephants! "A huge male, with one tusk only, stood in the pass—it was only 11 feet wide—resolute that nothing should pass him. These elephants are called Guneab, and certain castes of the na- tives our severe. them. So n when assistant saw the action of this Gunesh, they became convinced that something terrible was about to happen. The scene was indeed extraordinary ; and from the top of the palisades, where I bad climbed, I had an excellent view of it. The space between the con- verging walls became every moment more densely packed with the crowd- ing, struggling masa of elephants; It was evident that one party or the other must soon give Way. "My comrades and the native drivers had remained in the outer inclosure, where I could see them skirmishing about with fire -arias loaded with blank cartridges just behind the Children Cry 'for Pitcher's Cattail! ADVANCING FIRE LINE. Other natives, perched on the walls, were keeping up a, fusillade of sticks and clods lauded down upon the herd. I myself fired several charges of pow- der Into the flanks of the rearmost ele bpants, though they wore nowise to lame for not moving on. It was not for lack of willingness or effort, for their legs were braced at a consider- able angle, and I could see their huge fent boring desperately into the earth as they strove to advance. "At last the mutineers in the pen gave way, just in the niok of time to save the herd. The Gunesh and his backers were borne backward into the inclosure by a great rush of thet or- mented squadron outside, and the vic- tors charged in after them. Yet, even so, the flames reached the herd before all could enter, and in their agony and terror the last three turned and un- expectedly broke through the line of fire, trampling and tossing the men who were behind it. It was a horrible sight. I would gladly have rushed to the assistance of my comrades, but it would have been absolutely useless. In an instant all was over. "At that moment I glanced in the direction of the pen, and saw the great gate falling; it struck the hindquart- ers of the last elephant that entered. Mr. Sanderson had given the signal, and the supporting rope had been cut with an ax by the roan in attendance. "We who survived then ran to the scene of tee disaster. Moat of the men were already dead. but those who show ed any signs of life received every at- tention. They were horribly niang� led, however, and none of theta lived.' Such was the outcome of what was probably the biggest elephant hunt ever planned. by Europeans. UNEQUAL POPULATION. now People ,are Distributed Over the Earth, In no country in the world is un- equal population so powerfully demon- strated as in the. United States. In the congested. East Side District of New York City thousands of people are crowded int oa space hardly Sufficient for so many hundreds. A Isere gar- ret!. room, in many instances, answers as the home for a whole family, and all the unfortunate denizens of the com- munity are literally in need of breath- ing space. It seems strange to think that in one single town there should be more people than in any entire continent, Yet such is the case, Australia has a population of a little over 3,000,000, which falls short of that of the metro- polis by a large figure, and if to tee* people of London we add tbose of Paris and Canton we get a number equal to that which represents the pop- ulation of Australia and Canada com- bined: This can ba sot down in rough figures as follows: London -4,500,000 Paris 2,400,000 Canada ... 5,000,000 Cant on1,1i00.003 Australia...3,000,000 8,500,000 8,000,000 Here we have three cities whose com- bined population exceeds that which is spread over an area nearly twice the size of Europe. Again, if we compare the little Kingdom of Belgium with the Dom- inion of Canada, a remarkable con- trastis noticeable: Belgium—Area, 11,373 square miles; population, 6,200,000. Canada—Area 3,395,647 square miles; population, 5,000,000. From this it will be seen that Can- ada, although nearly 300 times the size of Belgium, contains a considerably smaller population. To take another contrast: The vast tract of land comprising Western Aus- tralia, which occupies an area of over 1,000,000 square miles, contains 50,000 people,. while the inhabitants of the little island of Hong-kong, which cor- ers ov-ers an area of 32 square miles, being only ten miles long and three broad, number 220,000; that £s to say, 'West- ern Australia, although more than 3,000 times the size of Hongkong, contains one quarter the number of inhabitants. ONE OF THOUSANDS. Theorizer—I can't understand it, I really can't. Here, you left a comfort- able home in Europe and came to this country because you wanted to be your own landlord ; yet you settle right down here in a big city and pay more rent for a dingy slum cellar than you paid in Europe for your whole farm. Why don't you. go West, where you can get land for nothing, or else! go back to your pastoral home in Europe? New Arrival—The West is too far to walk, and Europe is too far to swim. FOR EASY WRITING ON TRAINS The rolling stock of German State railroads hes been provided with an ap- pliance which will enable passengers on board a train to write without diffi- culty, ifficulty, and regardless of the motion of the train. The new appliance consists of a board suspended from the ceiling of•the car by strong but elastic cords ng which will prevent the vibration of the moving train from interfering with the writer. At the present time only the first-class compartments of through trains are furnished with this appliance, and a small charge is made by the con- ductor for its use. MANUFACTURING DIAMONDS. Diamonds are now made by electri- city. When carbon is melted or vap- orized in the electric furnace and al- lowed to condense under great pres- sure, however, it condenses in the cry- stallized form of the diamond. This pressure is obtained by forming a solu- tion of carbon in molten iron and allow- ing the iron to solidify suddenly, there- by bringing sufficient pressure upon the condensed carbon to crystallize the lat- ter into diamonds. The diamonds made by this process are said to he so small' that the costof production is greater than their value. DECREASE OF DIPHTHERIA.. Prof. Richet publishes some figures of mortality from diphtheria in the Rev- ueq Scientifique, which seem to show that either the disease has this year taken a milder form, or else Dr. Roux's serum treatment is effective. The deaths in 1884 in Paris hospitals were 1,400; from 1887 to 1891 there were from 900 to 960 a year; from 1892 to 1894 they averaged 733; in 1895 they were 239.
