Which le Said to lie l opular motiff Rail

Among the many devices assorted t
for lessening the tediousness of a lorif
railway journey, not the leot infjeniout
Is the new frame described In the fol
lowing letter addressed to the London
Times by a traveling correspondent:
Will yon allow me to describe a new
game for the benefit of those who dc
not wish to be unconscious players al
It? It is pliyed in railway trains oi
any public place, and I can best explain
It by giving my own experience. I wat
alone in a first-class carriage, when twe
young gentlemen and their three sis
ters, as I suppose, entered. I learned
from their conversation tlvii they sup
posed we should pass a certain station
where they intended on their way to
leave a parcel . I thought it would be civil
to tell them that we had already passed
it. They thanked me most courteously,
and the gentleman who had first men
tioned the parcel made a pencil marl;
on his cuff. Shortly after that one ot
the young ladies asked her brotiier the
time, and as none of the party seemed
to have a watch, and were very much
out in their guesses as to what the hour
waB, I again ventured, though a man of
few words, to tell them what I thought
they really wanted to know. Again 1
noticed that the young lady who had
first asked the time furtively made a
mark on her cuff. My fellow-traveler
seemed to know so little abontthe route
we were taking that out of pure kind
ness 1 interposed several more times,
and whenever I did so they thanked me
profusely, and I observed that some one
either wrote on his or her cuff, or scored
something down elsewhere, l'resentlj
they divided some money among them
selves. I have since discovered that, 1
was the victim of the game of "Lure.'
The game is a simple one. The player
take it in turn to start a conversation
strictly among themselves, with a view
of inducing a stranger to break into it.
The points are any sum agreed upon
If the lure takes effcet nil 'isflnycrs
pay the sterter, ;H it fj.lt . itartct
pays the players. If the luve takes ef
fect but the person lured answer
wrong, the starter is paid double. All
the players are bound to support the
starter. I learned this afterward. .

Signatures of Visitors to ITillftdelphl
Preserved for Future Aires.
Mr. William liabe, superintendent o
the state house portrait hall, in th
course of an interview with a reporte
the other day, gave some interestin
facts about the visitors' book, of whic
he is the custodian. The book lies o
a raised desk at the right of the hall,
and all visitors to the state house nrr
allowed to inscribe their names in it foi
future generations to gaze upon.
"The book," said Superintcnden
Babe, "was started in 1870 for the sol.
use of visitors to the centennial exhibi
tion, and it proved vastly popular from
the beginning. It has never heenscttleti
who originated the plan of keeping t.
record of Philadelphia's visitors, but i
was the centennial commission, in nl
probability.
"Each book contains about 20.401
names, and we use up two a year; so
you see that during the last fifteen
years nearly 315,000 non-residents navo
affixed their signatures to the books.
Then, too, like most any other busi
ness, there are months when we do a
very small business in the chirograpliy
line and others when the trade booms.
March is the lightest month in the year.
Wo average from seventy-five to eighty
five names a day during that month.
After March it keeps increasing daily
Until August, when the high water
mark is reached. Last August averaged
two hundred and fifty names a day.
From August on it begins to go down
until wo come around to March again,
when we touch low water mark.
"Only about half the people who visit
the portrait hall write their names in
the book. Some have a uatural aversion
to a 'promiscuous distribution' as an
elderly gentleman told me the other
dayof their signatures, while others
are not aware of the book's existence.
"There are signers from all over the
world. Every country is represented,
from civilized England and Franco to
semi-enlightened China and Persia.
"The city intends to keep the booln
with the other city records, and in two
or three hundred years from now, I dure
say, the books will he considered very
valuable and interesting relics." Phil

A GEEAT PROBLEM.
NATURE INCLINED TO KEEP SOME
OF HEH SECRETS.
The Questions of How Fruit and Other
Vegetable Varieties Are Made Clive
Room fur Speculation All Doctors Do
Not Agree as to Methods.
People are fast learning that science
has a place in our most simple everyday
affairs. Economic science hits done
more for horticulture and agriculture
within the last ten years than had been
one la two thousand years before. 1 he
Improvements that practical science has
given to orcharding are probably not so
great as to agriculture. The dependence
of humanity on agriculture is by far
greater than upon horticulture. Yet we
still have to gums at many phenomena
in both. Professor Smith in his ret cut
lecture at Stanford university named
some of them. Darwin mimed dozs-ns,
entirely unexplainable. Ve can get at
every fact pertaining to mineral matter
and dead organic matter. We cannot
as yet solve the mystery of life power
and lite action. But men are constantly
learning more about nature's one great
mystery. If we knew all about lite
there would be little more to study.
Therefore the scientist will always have
a place in our economies.
Professor Smith's lecture on the pro
duction of new fruits is complete so far
as it goes. This is a fast age, especially
so in biology. It is hard for the most
industrious student to keep abreast of
the times. Laymen have entered the
field of investigation and experimenta
tion and they are liable to leave the lab
oratory scientist away behind. Practi
cal scientists are born, and are merely
trained by education. The men who
inarch to the trout in the applied sciences
were adapted in nature's mysterious
ways for that work.
If Professor Smith was correctly re
ported I cannot quite agree with his
view, of how bud vaiumiep or uporte
came to exist. He says,' "Suddenly a
branch upon a tree a ?ane upon a bush
or vine will show unusual vigor or pro'
duce fruit of flavor, color or size differ
ing materially from the variety type. '
I do not think sports originate in that
way, though they may possibly do go,
It is hardly probable. My observations
show, and I think nearly all observers
agree, that true sports have their origin
in bud variation in the bud from winch
the varying branch grows. The start
ing growth of a bud on a fruit tree, aud
especially a flower bud, has many parol
lei hues with the sprouting of a seed. J
have observed very carefully two sports
on my own grounds. On a rose busn the
branch from a particular bud gave bean
titully variegated leaves, ihese were
seen upon tiiat branch alone during ils
life of two years. That particular
branch produced white ruses wliilo the
rest of the bush produced blight car
mine.
Tne other was a branch on a May
Duke cherry tree and it certainly grew
from a bud. The whole braucii had
larger, darner leaves than the variety,
and ripened its large, dark, exceedingly
acid fruit ten day in advance of tue
fruit on the other brunches of the same
tree. We do not need to remove the
sport to perpetuate it for the time being.
It will continue to be a sport us long ai
it lives on the parent tree. Nor do I be
live in the notion of fixing the type by
selection. Such spores lmiy have a nut
ural tendency to sport again, more so
than varieties never known to sport be
fore. I do not believe in the deterioration of
a variety by years or even by ages of
culture. Nearly a.l varieties deteriorate
when long cultivated in a certain envi
ronment, especially when not well suited
to the health vigor and Irmtage. Simply
because a lruit tree is a fixed object. It
cannot move about from place to place
aim in that way leave some of i s ene
mies behind lhat are xappiugils vitulity.
It is forced to take things as they come,
and in time gathers unto itself, or they
gather to it rather, hundreds of enemies,
many so minute lhat we will never know
any tiling about them. I have seen scores
of the niicst lruit varieties "play com
pletely out" in a certain region. Yet
wUeii young trees or bulls or scions were
taken to a new and distant locution
adapted to them they gave aspertecc re
sults as tne oriyinal tree and pernaps
belter.
Even in this fine fruit climate many
standard vaneues of the past are travel
ing fast on the down giaue. Yet tane a
scion from one of the very worst of these
wrecKs and graft it on a good rout huu-
1 dreiix of miles awuy, where none of the
Variety had been before grown and it
will thrive as well as it ever did if the
climate and couuitions are favorable.

An incubator without a brooder is
like a fiddle without a bow One is uo
no good without the other. Therefore,
when you think of purchasing an incu
bator, says The Prairie Fanner, always
add a brooder to the outfit ami figure up
the cost as though the two were out)
,r,,whi,f.
The value of orchard -.'rasa is that it
can be made to grow on land where
timothy will hardly thrive ami on steep
hillsides where it is difficult to make
any vegetation grow.
Salt is not so much of a fertilizer as
it iB a solvent of fertilizing material,
thus rendering it avoidable to plant food.

The timiti'H tCuemy.
Frank Leslie's Weekly : It would seem
that the attitude of General Stevenson,
the democratic caudidate (or vioe-president,
conoerning the rights of organized
labor, bus been pretty well established
by his treatmeut ot it iu fa t business re
lations. He is president ot the Mo Lean
oouuty (IH.) Coal Company. The report
of the State Inspector of Mines on tba
subject of strikes iu 1888, stated that of
two strikes iu that district "one wsa by
the miners employed by this 0 uijany.
Ihe company having disohatged a few of
their employes tor having takeu a leud
lug part in forming a union, the miners
ss a body came out on a strike to hava
,bose who hud been thus tin-charged re
instated." If this statemeut is correct,
then General Stevenson is to be under
stood as holding that identification with
a labor union is an offense, and should
lie visited with discharge aud loss of em
ployment. It will be noted that the iu
ipeotur's report does uot charge agaiust
ihe employes nuy act of violence or law
lessness, and the presumption is that Ihe
icuru fact of their forming a union led to
ibeir disohnrge. Evidently General Ste
venson's professions of friendliness for
iniiiiQ workiugmeu must be taken with
many grains ot allowance.

foreigners cite these labn
troubles as
evideuoe of thj weakness of our lorm ot
government. As a matter ot fact, they
have afforded convincing testimony of
its strength. Iu Pennsylvania and Ten

snnrohy has been curbed by the power
of law as represented in Ihe citizens sol
diery. Not one of 'be great nations ot
Europe would have dared to rely in such
a crisis upou a fotce of volunteers. The
