Here is a pointer from the Wisconsin AgrU culturist that may be of value to some Long Island farmers: "Absinthe Is made from the common wormwood, large quanties of which were exported from NeV York and Vermont some years ago.

Recently the home consumption has grown so large, says the New York Journal, that we now use all the wormwood for our own production, as well as five times as much, which is Imported from France and Germany. The American wormwood is regarded as the best In the world. Another expensive herb that is grown here Is saffron, which is worth from $6 to $8 per pound. Until quite recently the supply of saffron came from Vermont, but a severe drought there killed most of the plants, and the price has increased In consequence. In many Western states, as well as In Mexico, It has since been artificially propagated.

In Michigan there are vast fields ol peppermint, which is cultivated carefully and sells for a high price. Another medicinal herb grown in 'Michigan is sage, which is sold at J140 per ton, In addition to which one hundred tons of sage are imported into the United States every year at a value of $80 per ton, most of it coming from Italy. In the mountains of North Carolina and Tennessee boneset, pennyroyal and thorn apple leaves are cultivated, as well as mandrake, black root and brack cohosh, all of which are used in patent medicines. California and Cape Cod are the homes of horehound, which makes a cough medicine. This country raises a greater variety of medicinal herbs than any other, producing those that grow in cold and hot climates, as well as those that thrive on dry mountain tops and in the humid valleys.

Burdock, angelica and bayberry axe some of these roots, and others are spikenard, unicorn root, cascarilla, cramp bark, thyme and pigeon berry." BEAUTIFUL PATCHOGUE. It is a pleasure to felicitate Patchoguers upon the appearance of our beautiful village. At this glorious season of the years nature, having thrown off the somber mask of winter, grows young again, and nowhere on this isle of summer paradise does she appear more charming than In our own delightful village. The streets are well rounded up and are smoother an d'. harder than they have ever been before.

The glorious shade trees that line the avenues, perhaps too thickly, are radiant in rustling green gowns. (Many front fences have been removed, making the neatly kept lawns doubly attractive. In, places where many neighbors have removed their front and line fences the village takes on the appearance of a large park. Rank growths of shrubs In front yards ore giving place to level velvety lawns, many of them bordered with neatly trlmimed hedges. The clear sparkling waters of the lakes never seemed of a deeper blue.

From the forests of pine are wafted healthful breezes that meet In the village the bracing breeze from the Atlantic.

The following programme of exercises was Carried out with enthusiasm: Music Overture Orchestra CProfessar Genber) Prayer W. A. Dickson 3fuslc "America" and orchestra Reading memorial orders from headquarters. Adjutant W.

H. Hall Address Commander A. D. Jjlmberger Address Senior Vice Commander E. T.

W. Graves, quartermaster; A. W. Meade, surgeon, and Mr. Post, surgeon major, took part in the exercises.

Colonel Hemstreet said in substance as follows: "The subject of decoration day is too vast lor any mind fb take in; we might as well trlve to penetrate the starry depths. We can grasp our little village ceremonies but rXiot the effect of the national sentiment. A great deal Is said about reconciliations and the mingling of the blue and the gray. That is all very fine, as far as It goes. The only trou 'ble Is It does not go far enough.

We are a magnanimous people and a Christian people. we feel the necessity and value of reconciliation and a union of love. But, unfortunately, the figures are against us. Not one man who strove to break up and violate the sacred compact of perpetual union has any regrets. Babes are now taught to revere the lost cause and its principles.

In all Southern assemblages to day the federal flag is practically ignored. Imposing confederate monuments are now being erected, even on Northern soil and when the North shall become disintegrated by its madness for money, its clans and organizations and passions and political strife and unworthy Imitations, then may came the opportunity for another secession made possible by the unrepentant secession spirit. Go where you will In the South and among all confederate organizations, you will hear expressions of loyalty toward the federal Union, but whether it Is a loyalty of expediency or a loyalty of the heart is an open Question. Beyond a decoration of the graves of the Union dead Is not only t'ae Union sentiment, but the sentiment of law and order, even In the North. We ore flined up with elements that have little or no national feeling and that constitute a national weakness.

The next battle may be In the North Instead of ta the South, in our own streets, for law and order. But over that conflict the Stars and tripes shall wave In triumph." In conclusion Mr. Hemstreet ailluded to the forlorn hope that was organized to charge the line of works at Port Hudson and said that Jamaica could foe proud of one of that gallant band, who lay three long weeks in the baking sun and miasma of swamps awaiting the order to darge and only missed the glory of Leonidas a.nd his Greeks by the premature surrender. At 7:50 o'clock the members of the Grand Army of the Republic post proceeded to decorate the veterans' graves in the following cemeteries: Grace churchyard, eighteen graves; Prospect street cemetery, twenty six graves; St. Monica's churchyard, fourteen graves; Queens cemetery, two graves; New York avenue M.

Long Island City Railroad Men There Are Not Sufficient Grounds for a Strike. long Island City, L. May 81 The dissatisfaction among ihe motormen and conductors In the employ of the New York and Queens County Railway company is far from being adjusted. The road operates five different trolley divisions, all starting from the Hunter's Point ferries, and employs about five hundred men, nearly all of whom are members of local assemblies No. 10,070 and 10,096, Knights of Labor.

The discontent among the men became apparent shortly after Jacob R. Beetem succeeded George Chambers as general manager, two months ago. Mr. Beetem hails from Philadelphia and has had railroad experience in Brooklyn. His first important move which met the opposition of the men was a month ago, when he began operating the entire system on a new time table.

The men required to make better time, which lessened the number of regular cars. The men who manned the cars that were taken ofE were placed at the head of the extra list. It Is claimed that Manager Beetem about the same time took in the employ of the road a number of men from the Quaker city. These men, while not placed on regular cars, were given steady Jobs on the water sprinklers and construction cars. The appearance of the' new men gave rise to a rumor that Manager Beetem intended to supplant the union men by appointing Philadelphians in their places.

So serious did the situation grow that it was after 6 o'clock yesterday morning when the motormen and conductors resolved not to declare a tleup. The men had been in executive session all n'ight at their headquarters, Loesch's hall, corner of Stelnway and Grand avenues. After It was over some of the men were anxious to declare a strike, while others held that sufficient grounds did not exist for tho local to be upheld by the district assemniy. The situation, it was stated, will be discussed at another meeting. General Manager Beetem to day said tnat he did not anticipate any trouble.

He heard that the men held a meeting, but despite tne rumors he said that he felt satisfied that the men would not strlke.He added that they hod no grounds. A committee representing the uni on waited on him on Saturday night in relation to men being excused. The committee talked of no special grievance and he said that he would have been a very much sur nri sssmI msL after the manner in which the committee left if any attempt later had been made to strike.
