EXPERIMENTS TVn Interesting State: ta r y AA .Ww v, WASHINUTO.N, Mandi '?U\-"It is true." said Secretary Wilson of tlie Department of Agriculture "that wc are diverting part cf the money for the distribution of seeds. Of the ap propriation ol' $10*0,000 wc arc allow ing $71,000 for the distribution of Heeds through Congressmen, and the remainder we are expending in our own way. All seeds are not tested after distribution and the contractor was paid accordingly. Now seeds are tested b> our experts and fc."> per cent, mut-t germinate or the seeds are re jected. This insures the recipients good seeds. Not only must the seeds germinate but they arc tested for fer tility also. The seeds we arc sending out through members of Congress this year are the best the department has ever handled. This distribution is regarded by the members and the de partment as a very excellent thing, and we are constantly trying to im prove the system. "Hut we are doing much more than simply distributing common seeds. The great country lying in the tem perate /one and stretching from ocean to ocean has within its confines almost every condition of climate and soil. lt ?B possible, therefore, to grow to highest perfection somewhere in the United States almost everything in tue worid. We are trying to ascertain what particular parts of thc United States will grow certain grains, fruits and vegetables, and to what parts cer tain grains, etc., are particularly adapted. We lind for instance that the finest muskmelons sold in thc eastern markets come from thc dry valleys of Colorado. There is, how ever, in the valleys of Afghanistan, perhaps thc original home of thc melon, a muskmelon greatly superior even to those raised in the West. So to Afghanistan we sent our agent, who returned us a < pian ti ty of seeds of the famous muskmelon, whioh often grows to a weight of 20 or 30 pounds, and these seeds we are sending to the "WeBt this year. "Years ago the calla liiy was very rare and very expensive. Its place in the popular esteem was taken by the beautiful Easter lily. Everyone at iSastertime likes to sec Kastor lilies about, but they are expensive. Thc bulbs come from Bermuda, where the soil is very rich. But the production of the bulbs of these lilies, which grow so rapidly, exhausts the soil, and, as thc soil in Bermuda is very thin, they will scarcely be able to pro duce the lilies much longer. They must have three things-a rich soil, heat and water. So we have imported nflu bulbs, which wo are distributing across the Southern Stated. Arizona and New Mexico got some for thc irri gated portions. Texas received some because of its rich soil and abundant rainfall. Mississippi and Louisiana also got some. We hope by this means to lind some place where thc Raster lily can bc brought to perfec tion and then the florists can do the rest. The money now sent to Ber muda for bulbs will bc retained in this country, and everyone will be able to have Easter lilies. "Thc Californians complained that their figtrees were like those in the Bible which bore no figs. They had fine trees, fine flowers and very favor able conditions. Everything was there except the figs. Our scientists exam ined the situation carefully and decid ed that the trouble was that the pollen was not reaching the female flower. This was demonstrated by means of artificial fertilization. The pollen was blown into thc flowers by a blow-pipe, and those flowers produced fruit. An agent was sent to Smyrna to see how thc trees were fertilized and he found a peculiar bee which lived among the figtrcss and carried the pollen from flower to flower by means of its hairy legs. The people of Smyrna did not want to let any of these legs go out of the country, but our agent brought some away on twig?. Unfortunately, they were dead before they reached us and some more will have to be obtain ed. "On the shores of thc Mediterran ean, in Algiers, is a branch of this department. Wc find that the date palm flourishes in Arizona, so our agent in Algiers has had the dp te palm grafted and planted, and when the young trees arc ready to be remov ed he will take them up and carry them to Arizona, and we will produce our own dates. "Soma years ago there were no beet sugar factories. Now there are a large number, but not nearly enough to sup ply the country with sugar. We ex perimented until we found where the best sugar beets could bc raised, and then we induced the farmers to plant the beets and thc manufacturers to build the factories. As result, we are turning out hundreds of .tons of sugar and keeping thousands of dol lars at home. Across the northern /:JW of States wo find the best sugar beet country of the United States. W ITH SEEDS. ment M?ide by Seciv hilson. .ri. Sun. Northern Now York, Northern ludi anu, Ohio, Michigan, etc., .ir?.* all adapted to thc culture. To provide them with the best of seed wc have imported twelve tuns, now in New York. This seed was purchased from thc best growers in France and <?cr ma.jy. There the beets are carefully Bclected according to saccharine mat ter, and those containing the highest percentage are selected to bear seed. First the seed is planted, then comes the beet. This seed is again examin ed, and that which contains the high est percentage of sweetness is planted. That year they get the beet. Thc next year the beet is planted and they get the seed. It is this seed which we have purchased. *"J'o ascertain the best grain for our Northern States and to procure the m^st hardy seeds, we have an agent in Southern Russia who is going among the farmers asking: What is your best grain? How do you plant it? Which is the hardiest variety? lie will send us the wheat which they use and other grains. The westerneis complained they had no grass that could stand the drought, so we sent to the steppes of Russia and got some of that grass. Here is a sample of grass that was green after six months of dry weather, and when the rain came in sprang up to two feet or moro. lt is in this manner wc are utilizing the seed appropriation." Should Married Women Follow Pro fession H The author of "Heavenly Twins" responds very sagely: It is argued 1 know, that a woman may order her household excellently and follow a profession as well. Many women do. But it seems to. me that the question is not so much wbjat wo men can do when they are driven to it, but what they ought in fairness to be asked to do. If you take marriage from the lowest standpoint, that of a profession in itself, you will find your self forced to consider the strain of following two professions at the same time. No man is ever expected to do so. This is one of the great causes of complaint that women have had, that if they do anything they are expected to do everything. Numbers have at tempted the task-borne the children, brought them up, administered thc household and made the money-each and every duty was punctually per formed-, but how many such women, and of those how many that wefe not utter wrecks, have survived to old age? I tried for many years to combine housekeeping and literary pursuits, and managed both, but at infinite cost. My health, household and literary work all suffered; and it was not until circumstances put it iu my power to give myself up entirely to literature that I succeccded. Thc question of professions for mar ried women is usually a question of means; although, when money is sorely wanted, there can be no real question in the matter-the one of the family who can make it must make it. And therefore when one is asked, should married women follow profes sions? one is forced to allow that it depends, and fain to add, not if they can help it. Bat if it bc thc woman who must work, let her have her chance as the men would have, let her go to her work unhampered by other cares. In France, where it is the rule for married women to work, the children undoubtedly Buffer-suffer grievously. I have studied the subject on the spot, and been foroed to thc conclu sion that when there arc children they should bc tho first consideration, and thc parents arc both bound to sacri fice themselves for their good. Ex actly what will be for the good of the children will often be a very nice question, and it is essentially one of those upon which it is impossible to lay down any hard and fast rules. But being conscientious and unselfish will be found a great help when it be comes necessary to arrive at a decision i in thc matter. A woman should have tho same chance in thc professions as a man. But a woman's work about tho house is never-ending; the care of a child is the sweetest of professions; and that woman is neglectful ci' her best inter ests who goes out into the world to work when she can find a nice man to do the work for her.--Sarah Grand, in Thc Gentlewoman for April. - A woman's taste in purchasing neckties for her huscand is on a par with a man's taste in purchasing bon nets for his wife.

Hamp ton's residence, about two miles from thc city, was totally destroyed by lire this morning about ll o'clock, and a large portion of its contents were lost, j The lire may have been of incendiary ; origin, but that is only a suspicion j now. lt began near the kitchen, and j it i- possible it may have caught from j a defective chimney. Cen. Hampton has been quite feeble lately, and at the time of thc dis covery of the Gre he was awake, being | sleepless. He first found thc fir,, bc- ! licving, however, that the lig.ht he j saw was the break of day. Hut feel- ? ing the heat he managed to hobbit; to thc door, when he beheld one end of ; the building wrapped in Hames. The | household was aroused at once, and j negroes living on the place were got- I ten out of their bed-. They first bore thc (?enera] out of the house and placed him on a chair a safe distance away, where he saw thc fire destroy his home and many of his valuable papers, books and relics. Many of the neighbors were aroused and they all rendered what assistance they could, but it was evident from the beginning that the house was doomed. Much of thc furniture'and other household fixtures were saved. ! Hut the tire spread so rapidly that many of thc valuables could not be rescued. The General possessed a magnificent library, some of the vol- , nines being very rare, out of print and i not procurable, .""onie of these were , lost, besides many others, possessing , peculiar value from association. In all there were about ?j,OOO volumes, about 4,000 of which were saved, a portion of them, luckily, being in a building close to the dwelling, hut which was preserved from destruction, i In a desk Cen. Hampton kept mary valuable papers of a personal and his torical character. This desk went up in smoke, and the loss of the papers is irreparable. He had an English saddle of a peculiar make which he used throughout the war, and which he highly prized. This was lost. A large portion of the family silver was destroyed also. The family jewels, of which there was a large collection, and which were kept in a big, stout trunk, passed through the fire, but they were saved from total loss, as the bucket brigade was instructed to throw as much water as possible on the walls of the building where tho trunk was kept. There was not a cent of insurance, and the monetary loss to the old warrior is a serious one, not to con sider the loss of valuable relics col lected during his long career. Twice within the recent past hns the house been on fire in almost the same place, and once the fire was ex extinguished by the General himself, who, though 81 years old, climbed to the roof. The building was of only onestory. Many pleasant associations clustered about it. Gen. Hampton has removed to a small house on the premises until other arrangements can be made. "When seen this morning the Gene ral appeared to bear his loss with re signation, and was as cheerful as pos sible under the circumstances. Al though feeble, he still looks forward to his trip to the Charleston Kennion, which he will not miss if it is possible for him to got there. The greatest sympathy is expressed for him on all sides, and some old Confcds on the streets to-day began talking of a movement to build a new residence for him as a token of their love. In attempting to save a dog the General was scorched about the face. Among his papers were several hun dred unanswered letters from persons in all parts of the country.-Neic* ami Courier. Many old soldiers now feel the effects of the hard scrvico they endur- j cd during the war. Mr. Geo. S. An derson, of Rossville, York County. Penn., who saw the hardest kind of service at the front, is now frequently troubled with rheumatism. "I had a severe attack lately,"' he says, ' and procured a bottle of Chamberlain's rain Balm. It did so much good that I would like to know what you would charge me for one dozen bottles.'' Mr. Anderson wanted it both for his own use and to supply it to his friends and neighbors, as every family should have a bottle of it io their home, not only for rheumatism, but lame back, sprains, swellings, cuts, bruises and burns, for which it is unequalled.

W. Wiley, chief chemist of the de partment of agriculture, who was called to the stand to-day io testify before the ?Senatorial pure food inves tigating committee, now in session here, fully !K) per cent of the articles of food and drink manufactured and used in this country are frauds. All kinds of dairy products, lie said, as well a- nearly every variety of condi ments, including even cortee in the berry, were adulterated. Dr. Wiley was the first witness be fore the committee, which opened its first session to-day in the (Jrand Pacific Hotel. Senator William K. Mason, chairman, was the only member pres ent. Senator Harris will not arrive until to-morrow, aud Senator Wetmore i- ill. In his testimony before the committee Dr. Wiley gave in detail the methods of manufacture in adul terating different articles of food. In milk, according to his testimony, thc most common pract.ee is th ~. ab straction of the fatty substance in taking away the cream. A common practice among dealers he said, wat the adulteration v i th water, and in addition to this, preservatives arc used in no small cxtcntto prevent thc liquid from souring. In thc butter the common way ol defrauding the public, according tc the testimony, was the adulteration ol other fats, both animal and vegetable, for the natural fat of thc milk. Both cotton seed oil and high grades of larc were employed in this work. Honey Dr. Wiley said, probably was a mon abused article in the linc of adultera tion than any other. Thc principal method of adultera ting lard is the mixing of vcgctabl oils with the natural fat of thc hog Fats and oils, he said, instead of bein; injurious to the health, are wholesom to a great degree. All kinds of pur oils, he said, were heating to thc sys tem as well as great aids to digestion Another fraud, which is carried 01 to a very great extent, is the sellin of cotton seed oil for olive oil. Probably among all the foods mee tioned by Dr. Wiley none attracte greater attention than the adulteratio of coffee, even in the berry. Accort ing to thc witness, in recent invest g?tions he had found molasses an flour moulded into berries, coloree mixed with the genuine, and sold i high grade coffee. According to D Wiley, there is very little pure be< made in this country. Fully 70 pi cent of thc beer which is sold in th o un try is made of some other artic than malt. In regard to the extens? use of irlucose, witness said that was not objectionable for food pu poses if used in moderation. Very little pure jelly is nianufa tured according to the witness. There is als?? a great amount adulteration in thc manufacture vinegar. Dr. Wiley said that Vermont map sugar was manufactured in Davenpoi Iowa, out of brown sugar and an e tract of hickory bark, and it was n deleterious. In fact, he said, it w impossible for chemists to distingu? the two. The sugar was the same, ai the natural ether that gave the mai sugar its flavor and thc distinct! quality was too infinite to segregate an analysis. * The extract of hickoi bc said, was about thc same as t maple's flavor. Spices, he said, were adulterate aud peanut shells were palmed off ground cinnamon. .mM\ .? tm '? - The life of an editor in Servia not a delightful one.

Miss Ewing. The tallest woman in the Ubited States, and probably in the world, is Miss Ella Ewing of Corin, Mo., a lit tle town not far east of Kansas City, on the Santa Fe Road. This "high born lady" is 26 years old, according to the family Bible, and measures 8 feet 4 inches in her every-day shoes. Her parents are well-to-do farmers of ordinary stature, and her father, Samuel Ewing, is a highly respected member of the community. Miss Ewing wa9 boru at Corin, and when. 12 years old she measured nearly seven feet, but kept on growing, to the amazement of her family and the neighbors. In her girlish years she was quite sensitive about her height, because the other childrsc used to tease her; but when she discovered that it was worth $50 a week from Barnum's circus. and museum mana gers she took another view of the case. She earned enough money to lift the mortgage from her father's farm, and retired to private life. Miss Ewing has had several offers of marriage, but so far as I can learn her heart is still unpledged. OME CURE Beware of the Doctors' Patchwork; You Gan Cure Yourself at Home. There is not the slightest doubt,that the doctors do more harm than good in'treating Contagious Blood Poison; many victfipifcpr this loathsome disease would be much better off to-day if they'had never allowed^ thefaa selvea to be dosed on.mercury. nnd,pota8h, tho only remedies which the doctor? ever give^for blood poison. The doctors are wholly unable to get,rid of this vile poison, and only attempt to heal .up the outward;oppearap " disease)-the sores and eruptions. This they do by driving the poln?i system, and endeavor to keep it shut in with their constant,do4es< and mercury. The mouth and throat eud other delicate parts then' into sores, and the fight is continued indefinitely, the drugs doing's more damage than the disease itself. Mr. H. L. Myers, 100 Mulberry St., Newark, N. J., says: hundred dellars with the doctors, when I realised that they could do me no good.
