chest, sank, with the Teasel that con-

; Perhaps the most interesting find,
- savin); those wondroos tombs in Booth
itnesia, was the ' "treasure of Gnar-
razar," discovered in 1R.sk. Some peaa-
; suits traveling near Toledo noticed ob
jects of gold and Jewel work washed
' partly mit of the ground by heavy
rains. They broke them to pieces and
. divided them. " Happily, an intelligent
' man heard the story in time, bought np
every fragment; pieced them all to
gether, and fled to Paris, where he sold
. the lot to the Mosee Clnny. The objects
proved to be eleven crowns mostly
."votive" of Gothic monarchs who ruled
Spain during the seventh century. Of
. the owner in two eases there is no
doubt at all, for they bear
his name in letters of gold hang
tag by gold chains from the cir
cles, with a jeweled pendant from each
letter. One bears the simple inscrip
tion: "Suinthila," who reigned from
21 to 81 A. D.: the other: "Eeccesvin
thus rex offorret." Bis date was 649
072 A. D. Two, if not more, are
queens' crowns. One, the largest, has
thirty big Sapphires and thirty pearls
of great size; below it hangs a cross set
! with large sapphires and pearls, which,
again. ias jeweled pendants. . But we
mutt not describe minutely objects
which are, perhaps, better known, to
antiquarians at least, than any' pieces
of goldsmiths' work existing. -The
"treasure of Hildesheim" also is
... priceless. It waa found by soldiers
digging a trench for siege practice near
the town of that name in I860. We can
not doubt that this glorious trouvaille
was the "campequippage" of some very
rich traveler, probably a Roman general
though conjecture has boundless field
for speculating; how it could find its
way to Hildesheim. which the Roman
armies never reached. There are stew
pan, pots, plates, a batterie de cuisine
complete, all of silver, exquisite in form
and in ornament; the legs, so to call
. them, of a table, stands for lamps, ,
and . other things indefinable, all
t silver and all lovely; a complete din
ner service, plates, dishes, cups, gob-
. lets, of beautiful Greek work, in silver,
with gold wreaths and attachments.
One might nay in truth that the gold
smith's art could not go beyond the
grace and richness of these articles
many of which are ascribed to the first
century A. D. had not the Russian
finds surpassed them. The Hildesheim
treasure is at Iterlin; the Russian at the
At inter palace. That, in truth, is glo
rious beyond imagining. Of one piece
. M. Thiers declared in rapture that a
nation would be justified in wriHriy
war on the czar for possession of it.
This is the "Nikopol vase." Volumes
have been written and libraries will be
written on these marvels. They ' have
been recovered from tumuli in the
neighborhood of the ancient Greek col
onies on the Illack sea Chicago Times.
ABSURDITIES IN SPELLING.
o(llah Writers Do Not Take KloSIr to
Any Chances In Their Orthographr.
Far be it from me to appear as the
defender of the "American spelling"
which the British journalists denounce.
This "American spelling" is' less ab-
r surd than the British spelling only in
so far aa it haa varied therefrom. Even
; in these variations there is abundant
- absurdity. . Once upon a time most
words that now are spelt with' a final
e had an added k. Even now both
ifriusn and' American usage re-
- , tains this k in hammock, although
, both British and Americans have drop-
ped toe needless letter from havoc;
while the British retain the k at the
end of almanack, and the Americans
have dropped it. Dr. Johnson
a reactionary in orthography as in
politics; and in his dictionary he wilful
ly put a final k to words like optick,
without being generally followed by
the publick as He would have spelt it.
Music was then musick, although, even
as late as Aubrey's time, it had been
musique. In our own day we are wit
nessing the very gradual substitution
of the logical technic for the form origi
nally imported from Franca technique.
As yet, so far as I have observed! no at
tempts have been made to modify the
foreign spelling of clique and oblique.
I am inclined to think that technic is
" " replacing technique more rapidly
should I say less slowly? in the United
: States than in Great Britain. ' We
Americans like to assimilate our words
' and to ' make them our own.
while the British have rather
fondness for foreign phrases. A
London journalist recently held np
to public obloquy as an "igno
rant Americanism" the word pro
gram, although he would have
found it act down in Prof. Skat's
"Etymological Dictionary": "Pro
- gramme was taken from the French, so
a recent writer reminds us. and in Vio
lation of analogy, seeing that, when it
was imported into English, we had al
. ready anagram, cryptogram, diagram.
epigram, etc The logical form, pro
, gram, is not common even in America,
... and British writers seem to prefer the
French form, as British speakers give a
French pronunciation tocharade, which
in America has long since been accept
ed frankly as an English Word. -So we

any other class ia the county.
DoroLAss. Farmers are doing better
than any other class here.
' Gentry. The best depositors we have
are farmers; they keep money with as
stall times.
Gbkxxb. It does not seem to me that
farmers should be held less prosperous
because they have less money. The
tradesman uses money daily, while the
farmer has continuing investments with
pecuniary periods. A large majority of
our farmers' business is on time depos
its, which is evidence that they are in
more easy circumstances than our busi
ness men, who are large borrowers.
Gsckdt. The farmers are prosper
ous. Many eastern loans paid off in the
last year.
Henbt. There are very few farmers
in this section who do not have a bank
account.
Johnson. Many farmers are money
lenders.
Kxox. Of time depositors six-sev
enths are farmers.
Lafayette. Farmers are. as a rule.
doing better than other classes.' On an
average the farmers make more money
and save more than other business men.
Lawrence. The farmers of this com
munity have more loose money than all
other interests, if it could be brought to
light.
Lewis. The farmers are in better
condition financially than ever before.
LmNOSTON. Daring the past two
years farm mortgages have been re
duced and farm bank deposits increased
i per cent.
McDonald. Farmers generally in
good shape.
Moniteap. For 25 years our depos
itors have been three-fourths farmers.
and their aggregate deposits fully three-
fourths of whole amount.
Neosho. It is our opinion that the
farmers have less surplus cash than any
other class.
Nodaway. The farmers are the de
positors in reality to-day. The farmers
of this county get as large a per cent,
for money Invested as any other class.
Perrt. Take the farmer as a rule
and they have more surplus money than
any other class of men.
Pike. Country banks would not sur
vive without the farmers.
Ralls. If the farmers withdrew
their business jve could not run.
Randolph. Farmers are good hank
customers, and, as a rule, are in better
financial condition than any other class
of men. Our. most reliable business
comes from farmers.
Rat. Our best depositors are farmers.
Saline. This is an agricultural coun
ty; never fails to raise crops. People
know nothing of poverty; spend their
money like princes. The banks could
not exist if it was not for the farmers'
business and deposits. Farmers in good
shape; best depositors we have.
Shelby. Farmers who use the same
industry and economy are as successful
as any other class. The farmers of this
section are making money. Our farmer
depositors are much more profitable
than town people.
Sullivan. The farmers in this com
munity are making more money than
any other class of men. A greater per
cent, of farmers are successful than of
any other business.
Vernon. Farmers are doing better
than any other class of business men in
the county.

AN ADEPT AT RESIGNING.
The Accountant's Novel Method of Tak
ing a Vacation. '
Living in a fashionable town within
commuting distance of New York is
gentleman who invariably attracts at
tention by his long hair, - Strangers
always conclude that be is nothing
less than a grent lawyer or bank presv
dent When the more curious ask his
fe low-townsmen about him they are
told the following story: ,
One day the gentleman, who Is one of
the best accountants in the metropolis,
stepped up to the president of the bank
by which he is employed and said he
had decided to resign ' and that the
resignation must go into effect immedi
ately. .. "
1 he president waa loth to lose so
valuable a man and creed him to recon-
siilcr the matter. lie talked with him
for an hour but to no purpose. The
employe, whose skill as a mathema
tician was beyond anything ever met
with by the onicials of the bank, was
bound to 'leave the institution but
absolutely refused to give any reason
for his doings.
The accountant left that day and the
bunk was obliged to get along as best
it could without him.
Ten davs later the cashier v
astonished on entering the bank to
find the accountant hard at work at
his old desk. The mathematician said
good morning, just as he had done
every day for years before he resigned.
but offered no explanation.
The president and cashier decided to
let their stransre-acting employe keej
at his work and ask no questions.
Three months later the accountant
went in:o the president's office again
and tendered his resignation. . It was
accepted, and the man was absent for
a week or more. Then he suddenly re
turned.
The same thing waa repeated again
ami asain. Now it is a standing joke
in that bank that the accountant has
resigned. It is bis way of taking a
vacation. lie never stays away more
than two weeks. N. Y. Commercial.
Important Typewriter Decision.
"Judge Lacombe, sitting in the United
States Circuit Court here, has, on tha
motion of the Remington Typewriter
Company, granted an injunction against
the agents of the Franklin, restraining
the sale of that machine on account of
infringement of Remington patents.
The decision is an important one as it
proves the control of the fundamental
patents, and mav affect other makers
of typewriters. The Esmington people
have heretofore been quite passive, bat
it is stated on good authority that they
arc now likely to proceed against all
other typewriter manufacturing com
panies. in some cases purchasers of ma
chines which infringe Remington pat
ents may also be proceeded against for
infringement. Until these cases are
definitely settled this action will deter

It often severely injures nursery stock;

The disease shows Itself as soon as the
leaves are expanded. By the first or
middle-of June the only signs of the
malady are the withered leaves on the
ground and the shriveled shoots on the
tree; new leavea - have already de
veloped on the lateral twigs. The tllae-

more fleshy texture than that in health,
The under surface is usually smooth

appearance. hen the leaf stock is af
fected it swells to several times its
normal thickness and seldom attains
its full length. These portions have a
pale green color, the surface is swollen
and uneven, and turns black and dies.
The cause of peach-leaf curl is a minute
fungus called Taphrina deformans. It
is closely related to the fungus which
causes "pluu pockets." i be mycelium
or spore producing part of thia fungus
forms a net work of threads resembling
a string of beads in the tissues of the

really known ot the life history of the
curl that little can be said regarding
preventive measures. Removing and
destroying all the leavea and young
shoots as soon as they show signs of
the malady, and at the proper season.

the disease existed, is the best course.
and ought to mitigate the evil. As an
experiment it is suggested that the
trees be sprayed in March or before the
buds begin to swell, with a SO or 40 per
cent solution of sulphate of iron.

ABOUT BROAD TIRES.
One War ml Drawiae- Heavy Leads Ovat
Soft tjroand.
There are 10 or 13 wagons in town
having old mowing machine wheels on
the running gear. These wheels and
axles cost only the price of old Iron.
The hay rack is only 36 inches high, and
when manure or other loads are drawn
the body is only 8 Inches h igher than the
axles. I have drawn many loadsof hay
with my rig on ground so soft that an
ordinary tire would not be supported.
The mowing machine axle is cut is
two in the middle and holes punched in
the ends, as the cut shows, and banc's
or clasps placed around the wboie
thing, next to the wheels. The eogs on
the outside of the wheels are cut off
with hammer and cold chisel, so that the
rims are smooth. I have cut them from
SO wheels without breaking a rim. The
bolsters are made the same size as
those of any wagon, so any box or rack
may set on. This wagon saves hard or
heavy lifting and is used almost entire
ly on the farm. Owing to the broad
tires one horse can draw a heavier load
than two horses with the ordinary
wagon.
I also have a stone boat on four ol
the wheels which I use a great deal.
It is hnng under the axles, about 8 inchet
from the ground, and saves all heavy
lifting. V. H. Matthews, in Farm an1
Home.
. The Evening Inspection. -A
few years ago visiting a friend whe
had some valuable stock, lust before
retired for the night I suggested
that we go around and take a look at
the animals, which waa my custom at
home. He laughed and said I was al
ways a queer fellow. But we went,
and found a cow down with the halter
about her neck. She was a valuable,
pare Jersey, about to calve, and waa
sold to be delivered with the calf for
81,800.' Said my friend: - "You have
given me a lesson I shall never forget
And you have saved me 81,500, and, what
is more than money, all the blame foi
gross carelessness. . I, will never fail to
make round of my stables and barn
hereafter the last thing before I go to
bed. ft is better to be safe then sorry."
