Underwood, from the Ninth Alabama district. Aldrich was seated by a vote of 110 to 107. Very satisfactory progress in clearing up the odds and ends of the legislative work of the session wus mad by tho Senate. Final conference reports on the naval appropriation and on the Indian appropriation bills were presented and agreed to.

lie Produce Startling IteaalU With Henry George' Vorlta. 1 Ilonry Cioorgo bus suffered many things Bt tho hands of translators. "Progress and Poverty" has been translated with more or less suciess Into all tho Important Kutopcan tongues, into Japuneso and in purt into Chiiieoo. "Social Problems" has aso been translated into four or five foreign tongues, and tho letter to tho pope on the "Condition of Labor" has been spread iu like fashion. There are three independent (ionium editions of "Progress aud and one of these is Illuminated with footnotes.

The nnuotator found Ids opportunity when ho camo to this sentence near the end of tho book: 'Into the valley of the shadow of death yet ofteu leads tho path of duly; through the streets of Vanity Fair walk Christian and Faithful, and on Great Heart's armor ring the clanging blows." This passage is starred, nnd lie footnoto Informs the German reader thut the reference is to Thackeray's liovol ot "Vanity Fair." Mr. Georgo's latest translator is a tonoher of political economy at the University of Turin, nnd he has just expanded "Social Problems," la Knglish a book of less thau S50 pages, into un Itallun volume of about 425 pages. Mr. George's doctrine seems to have suffered littlo at the hands of the translator, but tho professor had i hard timo with the technical plirunes of American politics. "On tho outskirts of the political partlos, says the original, "are tho green backers, who, with a more or less deflnito idea of whut they want to do with tho currency, represent vague sociul dissatisfaction." Thu translation has it that tho "bankers" are on tho outskirts of the political parties and that they "with an Idea more or less precise of their function in economy, represent the multiform social disgust." The lower part of Broadway is translated "tho most filthy quarters of Broadway." Tho translator, in a note occupying more than a full page, cites figures to prove that tho total Italian immigration to this has not yet greatly exceeded half a million persons.

His excuse for this note is the translator's misapprehen sion of tho expression, "And the millions of Ituly, pressed by want as sovoro ns that of Ireland, begin to turn to tho emigrant ship, as did the Irish." "The millions of Italy" is translated "millions of Italians" (uiillioni di Kaliani). The translator not only docliuos to put Mr. George's phrase "to slzo the pile" into Italian, but entirely emits the idea that It conveys in translating sentence where it occurs. This eusy war one nf difficulties is oue he oftai takes, with toe result that his translation in many cases, if turned hack into English, would nordly be identified by Mr. George us his own nuiltur.

Now York Sun. Master end Papil. Apropos of ho discussion in France of a proposition to abolish tho bachelor's do-greo and some of the examinations that go with it some stories are told of funious examiners in the colleges. One of tho most redoubtable of those was the elder Ampere, tho famous man of science, who was for a time a professor in the College of France. Ampere was kiud hearted to a fault, but eccentric, and the erratic character-of his examinations made thero a sort of show, to whicli people resorted as to an entertainment.

Though kind, he was hot tempered and occasionally gave way to out bursts of which ho instantly repented. Once at an examination some mistaken response of a student led him to loso his temper and to exclaim to the youth, "You aro a donkey." Tho student was as hot blooded as ho. "It's you who are tne donkey," he shouted back. By this time Ampere's anger was all gone, and the phiiosophor aud gentleman asserted himself. "Perhaps it is perhaps it is," ho nnsweroJ, "but nevertheless I imagine that if you begin your demonstration anew you will recognize tho fact that you ore mistaken." The student recommonced his demonstration, and under this temperate admonition he discovered his mistakes and uo-knowledgod that ho was wrong.

"And now, my dear boy, said the professor, "you soo that I am not a donkoy, nnd that you ore not oue either. I had no right to call vou by the name of that animal, which, however, is so patient, calm, faithful and laborious a creature thut I nni not sure but it was he whom I w0" inanlHnr. itiot. now noil not each other." Youth's Companion. Dr.

McCoeh's Prayer. The Newark Sunday Cull tells this story of President McCosh of Princeton, which It says is vouched for by old Princeton men: Tbe venerable doctor was acus-tomed to lead tho morning exercises in tho chapel every day, aud during the exercises ho gavo out tho notices to tbe students. The closing exercise was a fervent prayer by the doctor. One morning, after he had read the notices, as usual, a student came up with another notice that Professor Kargo's French class would bo at 9 o'clock that day instead ut 9:30, as usual. Dr.

McCosh said it was too late, but the student insisted that Professor Karge would be much disappointed if tho notice woro not read. The exercises went on, and the doctor forgot ail about the notice. He started to make the final prayer. He prayed for the president of tho United States, the members of the. cabinet, the senators and representatives, the governor of New Jersey, the mayor aud other officials of Princeton and then came to the professors and instructors In the college.

In the moantime Professor Kargo's notice came into his mind, and the assembled students were astonished to hear the venerable student say, "And, Lord, bless Professor Karge, whose French class will bo held this morning at 9 o'clock, instead of at 9:30, as usual."

A project which will interest women everywhere is being started In New York. is to Ijo entitled, Tha Woman's Trust, and the object of those intensikil In It is to collect funds for tho purposoif building a homo for working women of good reputation who may at times be In need of shelter and a home. It Is proposed to raise this money by public subscript ions and also to ask congress to contribute funds. It Is pointed out tliut congress has frequently appropriated money for the erection and support of soldiers' and sailors' homes, and It Is maintained thut thero Is no valid reason why congress should not appropriate money for the support of needy many of whom may become or already ore the mothers of soldiers and sailors. Tho building which it is proposed to erect will occupy a whole block and will be of approved architecture, most probably lu tho Moorish stylo.

On the first floor thero will be stores and nn arcade. There will Ixi a courtyard in tho center and four entrances, over which arc to be Inscribed tho following lines, which tho Athenians formerly placed over their gates, "We wished, we saw, we loved uud we adored." Tho building will consist of 10 stories' of about 1,000 rooms. The rooms will bo divided into suits and will, as a rule, be furnished us parlors with folding beds. The second floor will contain a dining room for the guests and a separate restaurant for outsiders. There will also be reading rooms, class and concert rooms, where organ and other recitals can be given and where all the minor crafts can bo taught to women.

Spacious grounds will surround tho home and will be laid out in an appropriate manner. The building will be run on the co-operative system und is intended only for self supporting women, who will be charged the nominal sum of 13 a week, in return for which they will obtain not only board and lodging, but also ull the advantage of reading and music rooms. No restraint will be placed Upon the Inmates, as it is desired to make them feel thoroughly ut home. The first step necessary is to incorporate a company, and this will be done In a short time. Several influential per sons have already boon approached on the subject and huve promised their sympathy and support.

Mrs. Catharine Thompson, with whom this idea originated, has prepared a list of proposed incorporators and directors, nnd it contains tho names of some of the best known men and women in New York. Speaking on this subject recently she said: "Professor Felix Adler thluka very highly of this plan and has given me great encouragement. liev. Minot J.

Savage of Boston has also agreed to exert his influcneo on behalf of the Woman's trust, and though I have not scan Miss Grace Dodge on the matter, I have received a very kind letter from her and am euro of her support as soon as she returns from the west. "Tho necessity for such a home must be evident to every one. The Actors' fund helps actresses, and there is a fund for the support of sailors' wives, and tho funds of the Salvation army help women in the slums, but there is no fund for the benefit of needy workjngwomen of good reputation. Yet wo all know that thousands of reputablo women, muny of them mothers of families, are today struggling against fearful odds and are utterly unable to lay by any money which will prove of service when old age or sickness overtakes them or they are thrown out of work. Women can help themselves by uniting to organize such a trust ns we propose.

Then they will havo equal chances with men, the necessity of Immorality will be lessened, nnd a new Impulse will' be given to advanced economic laws. New York city Is the great American mart for fomale help not classed as domestio service. Advcrtiso today for a governess, and tomorrow you will have from 75 to 200 applicants. Now, what be. comes of the 100 who aro rejected Kvery class of woman seems to bo provided for but tho gentlewoman suddenly hurled from affluence by some unforeseen misfortune.

"T' Vown a thp Kathorlno Howard, will be a national enterprise, and will in time become a feature of New York. The idea of this project Jios been forced upon me by tho many experiences which I have hud in all kinds of homes and boarding houses in this city. I have found that a woman, if poor and helpless, is liublo to tie turned into the etreeta at a moment's notice, that her trunks are liable to bo seized, and that the lrcatest insults will be heaped upon her for littlo or no reason. I have known cases where women paid for board and the landladies denied that they hud over received the money. Women, when they huve to earn their living, areyencrally unprotected and are considered easy prey.

A large cooperative home will do away with all these private abuses. Such a hefme, where women earning their own living can bo properly housed, will do more to elevute woman and indirectly man thun anything tliut lias ever been done before." Mrs. Thompson' who resides at the Hotel Kensington, has been at work on this project for over two years and hopes now to bo able to get tbe Woman's trust regularly incorporated within the next few days. Among those whose names she hopes to secure as directors and incorporators are Mrs. Levi P.

Morton, Miss Grace Dodgo, Miss Helen Gould, Mrs. Whitelaw Rcid, Mrs. John Jacob Astor, Mrs. Adolf Ladenburg, Messrs. Chaunccy M.

Dcpew, Morris K. Josup, W'illiain K. Dodge and Rabbi Gotthcil. Among those interested in tho project is a lady who does not desire to have her name mentioned nt present, but wlio is a daughter of a late distinguished judge of the supreme court of Tennessee, and she and Mrs. Thompson intend to go to Washington in a few days in the hope of securing the support of Mrs.

Cleveland, after which they will use their best efforts to have the matter brought to the attention of congress. It has been pointed out to them by certain pessimists that the bite A. T. Stewart vainly spent a good deal of money in trying to start magnificent home for self supporting women, but tlieir reply is that times huve changed since then, and that, while as a private enterprise such a home might not succeed, it cannot fail to succeed when once fairly started on a co-operative basis. The project is certainly a vast one, and a large sum of money will be needed to carry it out.

Much of this money, it Is expected, will be obtained through private subscriptions, and after the company is regularly incorporated the work of soliciting subscriptions will begin. In conclusion, it may be said that the home will be entirely nonsectarian. New York Herald.

SOMETHING TO 8HUN The Plum Leaf Spot and Fruit Hot, and the A late bnllotin from the Geneva, N. Station is upon the plutu leaf spot and fruit rot, and is both timely and valuable. The plum leaf spot, Professor Beach says, is also known blight and shot hole disease; is caused by fungus parasite, and effects the plum, cherry and othor stone fruits.

It makea its appearance soon after the leaves are fu.ll grown in little spot about a sixteenth of an inch iu diameter, with margins of purple or red. These increase in size, becoming dark brown with a pale centre, the tissues finally withering and dropping out leaving clean cut holes. The infested leaves turn yellow and drop early, so that it is not surprising in August to see tho new growth leafloss, and in severe attacks the whole tree may lose its foliage before September. Many fruit growers do not realize aif'they should how essential healthy fo liage is to the vigor, longevity and productiveness of trees. It is too often the case that a loss of five or six per cent, of the foliage causes little anxiety, yet this means a loss of five or ton per cent, in the productive power of the tree.

It is in the leaves that the compounds are formed which are used to sustain life, to support new growth of wood, foliage or Iruit, and to develop the fruit buds for another crop. This leaf spot fungus Professor Beach says, can bs controlled by spraying with Bordeaux mixture, and by a solution so weak as one pound of copper sulphate for eleven gallons of water when properly used. Eau celeste soap mixture waa formerly usad, but, while more easily applied than is the Bordeaux mixture, it was no more effective, and when of a strength sufficient to check the fungus it injured the foliage. The formula for the eau celeste soap mixture is: One pound of copper sulphate dissolved in water and diluted to about forty gallons. To this add one quart of 26 per cent, ammonia and a quart of whalo oil soap dissolved in water.

Dilute to about fifty gallons. The Bordeaux mixture used was made by dissolving one pound of copper sulphate in eight gallons of water. Freshly slaked lime, diluted with water, was added in excess of the amount called for by the potassium ferrosyanide test, and the whole diluted to eleven gallons. THE PEAR TREE PEST. The PearJ Midge 1 Making Trouble In Many Orchards.

Dr. John B. Smith, State Entomologist of New Jersey, 6ays the pear midge, Psylla pyricola, now with onr neighbor. New York. New Jersey and Maryland, will be heard of in Pennsylvania this year.

It was imported, he says, from France on. pear stock, by Dr. Ovid Plumb, Salisbury, a number of years ago, The farmers of Connecticut and elsewhere were warned against it when it was first reported and were told how to keep it down, and if they had heeded the warning they could have kept it right there until they got rid of it, just as Massachusetts is doing with the gypsy moth, but farmers fron't believe what you tell them. George T. Powell, Ghent, N.

one of the worst sufferers by this pest, and but for the ignominy of having it on record that he was beaten by a so small that you must take a microscope to find it, would doubtless have dug out his pear orchards at the outset. However, he fought it through three seasons and came off victor. His friend, E. G. Fowler, hearing of his misfortunes, went on to comfort him, and at first the case looked so hopeless that there seemed nothing to do but to mourn over the condition of things.

But, taking counsel together, the campaign of 1893 was ordered on different lines, and, instead of beginning with the egg, kerosene emulsion treatment waa begun on the nymph, proving sure death wherever it hit but a great deal of effort and emulsion were wasted because the trees were not of the right shape, had not been pruned properly, for the spray to do effective work. Pays Cash for Worm's Nests. "I know a farmer," said a chairman of a recent gathering of agriculturists, "who pays cash down for every worm's nest brought to him in a cloth or paper bag, and for cocoons and grubs. His chicken houses are built, some on runners and some on home made trucks, with cheap wheels, and before he begins plowing or harvesting the chicken house is hauled to the field and is ready to be opened as soon as the men are ready for work. He says it don't take as much time to haul out the chicken house as it would to spray a dust after the insects get to work, and the chickens pay for their picnic in eggs.

"When I was ready io plow up the sod in my west field, he sent his chicken tseover, and the quantities of grub those hens put away was a caution. When I cross plowed I had a chicken house of my own hauled ovr." Populous India. By the last census of India the total population is 287,223,431, or about one-sixth of the world's population.

3S1.B.FA She Slant lie Quick of Eye and Rapid With Uer I'lnger. There nro only three playing oord factories In New Yurk, cud they supply almost the entire duiiiiulil for pla.vlnj cards In this country. Less than women are engaged lu thu industry, and yet the highest wages any cf them gets is 17 a week. fcliw Minnie Hose Is one of theso. Shu is cu expert "finisher." "Fluiihiug," says Miss Rose, "roquircs great deal of experience.

You have to hnyo very quick eyes. You must bo nblo to detect the very slightest Imperfection in the design on the buck of a curd. Gamblers only uso a deck of ourds once, and if there were the slightest difference in the (Sucks of any two cards they might bo au-ousud of cheating. A finisher must examine ubotit 10,000 cards every day. If she lets one ever so slightly lm per foot slip through, site's likely to lose her job.

Tim other day in our shop a woman who had worked there for ten years was discharged for letting one curd go through. No one hut a gambler or a carduinbur could have detected tlio Haw. Tho Uosg scid he'd have excused her if tho hud been Hew hand, but an old baud ought to know better." Tho advantage of cardmaking is that Is not season work. "In most trades," says thu oanlinuUer, "you have a lot o' work for a few months uud then at itll until the season begins Of noursa you have your idle timo tu do something, but I'd rather work no something thut Is steady. At curdmaklng you work right nioug nil tho yeut round.

You hardly ever bavo more thuu two weeks off, Of course it Is fourfully monotonous ami it's tiresomu. Hut most of the girls seen: to like it.

I wus over ami over again asked if I could cure thu craving for opium.

Often a smoker would rate mo gently for belonging to nation which supplied the noxious U3 Berlous about It, utid there waa always a sort of lurking consciousness lit his manner thut the charge wus mere claptrap. Thu fact that Europeans themselves would uot smoUo (except out of curiosity) ulld despised Chinese Binukei'S seemed to leave a great Impression upon the uverugo victim. I often heard tales of excessive smoking how such a niau Smoked a'l night and slept oil day, and, so on, but I never oliuo liwird of a man absolutely ruin-lug himself or LU family by indulging, still less did 1 ever come across a case Iny- uoif. i Peking is nt best a vicious place. Horo we have an idle Mauteliuo population, Blip-ported by the guvernmtnt uud to a great extoilt duliurml by custom from competing in Industry with tho pure Chinese, even if willing uud nblo.

liosides this Peking is tho coveted huvuu of nil officials Who.liavo wived nfoney and wish to keep In touch with tho cuurt. Money is plentiful mid luxury grout. To a largo extent the same may bo said of Tinn tsin. Though 111 the north spirituous liqiier is freely druuk, druiikenuuhS is very rare, and for this reason causes no feeling o' shame wheu it does occur lu foot, it is rather gruecful and complimentary cct to get tipsy, or feign tipsinuss, at a feast. There is absolutely no sense of degradation iu it such as is Inseparable from opium siiioking.
