Fourteen miles west of Richmond Is an old Virginia plantation, where Thomas JefTprson as a boy went to school, and where many Illustrious men of the past two centuries lived and visited. Tuckahoe—whose quaint name was derived from the tribe of Indians that once lived in the -neighborhood—was the flrst frame dwelling erected west of Richmond, then a frontier settlement known as the "Falls.” The house was built about the year 1ti90 by William Randolph, a wealthy and Influential planter, for his son Thomas, and Is to day considered one of the best speci mens of early colonial architecture in the state. It stands, surrounded by stately oaks and elms, on a lofty bluff around whose base the James River winds It lazy way, and In former years the estate included well nigh limitless tracts of land for miles around. Ho Im mense was the property that to the members of this wealthy family land was almost valueless and we find In the records of Goochland county one of the most i nlque deeds of bargain and sale ever put on record. 1* ....... Ula-Acn William ft :i flflnl fill above, and his cousin, Peter Jefferson, father of Thomas Jefferson, in It Ran dolph “grants, bargains aud sells” un to Peter Jefferson one “certain parcel of land lying on the north side of the N'orthanna, in the county of Gooch land, together with all houses, orch ards, gardens, fences, woods, ways, etc., appertaining to same,” and in con sideration for this receives one of Henry Weatherburn's biggest bowls of Arrack punch. History does not tell us who Henry Weatherburn may have been, but his name is still being waft ed down to fame through the fumes of bis good Arrack punch. Tuckahoe house is built in the form ■ of the letter H„ giving it much the appearance of two houses. The long saloon hall which connects the two wings is an apartment of much indi vidual Interest, and its lofty walls have witnessed many an exciting scene. In it questions of grave interest touch ing the history of the early colony were discussed and settled; there Washing ton and his aides were frequently re ceived, and it served many a time as a ball room for the fair dames and . gallants of long ago. Special mention is made of this "most commodious apartment” by Lieutenant Thomas An bury in his "Travels Through Ameri ca.” The latter was one of the Eng lish officers of the army of convention captured with Burgnyne at Saratoga and quartered n'ear Charlottesville. While waiting to be sent to England * they were allowed, on parole, to visit the plantation homes of some of their former adversaries, who received them with great hospitality. Lieutenant An bury gives a long account of his visit to Tuckahoe and also tells that some “low fellows” threatened to set fire to Colonel Randolph's property on ac count of the presence of the British of ficers. The fiery colonel resented this insult to his guests with much spirit and made u ringing speech on the en suing court day. offering five hundred pounds reward for the discovery of those who made use of the threats. The English officer seemed also much impressed by his host's fondness for horses—a characteristic of all Virgin ian? and gives the following quaint account of a fine gray named Shakes peare, whteh had been Imported from Kngland at the beginning of the war anil was the pride of the worthy colo nel's heart: “There was a stable built purposely for this horse tin which was a bed for the negro who looked after It, that he might, bp with It at nights). He has a most beautiful head and neck; as to any other points about him It Is Impossible to say, for the creature was amazingly pampered and fat, and being of the race breed, hts legs were so small and slim that they appeared unable to support the weight of his body. From his withers to his tall there was such a groove of fat that you might pour water upon his withers and it would run in a straight line down his tall." The wings of Tuckahoe house are entered from the saloon through arched doorways, near each of which stands a broad walnut staircase, with beautiful balustrade carved by hand. The flooring Is as smooth and perfect ss when laid two hundred years ijgo. A curious feature Is that, with the ex ception of the wrought Iron hinges and brass locks on the doors and of the hand wrought nails which fasten the shingles to the roof, no metal whatever was used In building the house, which Is held together by wooden pegs. These pegs remain as strong and unyielding as when first put In;'In fact, one can not help being Impressed by the dura bility and solidity everywhere appar ent and by the sturdy manner In which the old house has withstood the rav ages of time. The rooms are waina cotted In panels of black walnut, cut and made on the spot by Knglish work men, and so hardttied by age as to be —•jaacfc^v-' • uzzmsmemML. * r v*. TUCKAHOE AS IT HOOKS AT PRES EXT. almost Impenetrable to nail or tool. Unfortunately a proprietor of a later generation, seeking to improve, ruined the beautiful paneling with a heavy coat of gray paint. In all the rooms are found high man tels of quaint design, with Immense fireplaces, where In the "brave days of old” Yule logs were piled across the glittering andirons. Some of the tiny panes of glass In the old-fashioned windows are of special Interest on ac count of names and dates cut on them by hands which have long since crum bled Into dust. On one pans stands out. as clearly as ever, "Thomas Ran dolph, 1698,” and in the northwest loom Is written In diamond the names of Mary Randolph and of Colonel Ball, over the date March 30, 1780. What a touch of romance that gives. One can almost see the fair colonial belle and her gallant young soldier lover, as they stand here together on that spring day, so long ago, looking out on the broad green fields of Tuckahoe. Some of the rooms still contain pieces of the orig inal furniture of the house- articles which would bring Joy to the hearts of * IIUH. IHM'tl# THAT THOUAA JKmeR*»* ATTKAliKIt an antiquary- and In one of the "guest chambers” is ihe higii-poat bedstead, with its rusty tester on which Wash ington slept while j visitor at Tuck ahoe. Near the house by the old flower garden, with its boxed walks and queer-shaped beds, stands the little building where Thomas Jefferson and Thomas Mann Randolph received their early education. These two, who were afterwards room mates at William and Mary College, were always warm friends, and In Jefferson’s letters fre quent mention is made of his cousin "Tom” Randolph and their frolics, He often said that one of his earliest rec ollections was riding on a pillow In front of a servant on horseback lo Tuckahoe. when his father was remov ing from Shadwell in Mi->. In fi'/int nf (ho h/uioo la u muflfniflront. avenue of elms, whose branches arch the roadway, and further on a double row of venerable cedars form a second avenue for a quarter of a mile or more, until the high road Is reached. About two hundred yards east of the house lies the family vault, hidden from view by grape arbors and shrub bery. Here, as the old black "mam mies” tell In awe-struck tones, is the resort of the famous "Frantic Bride" of Tuckahoe, who for many a weary year has paced to and fro, wringing her hands and tearing her flowing locks. No Influence, however great, can induce the servants to venture near tbe spot after nightfall. The vault Is built In a peculiar man ner beneath the ground snd Is only ac cessible from above. In It repose the dust of many generations of Randolphs, some of whom, we are told, were bur led with handsome Jewels on. The first Interment wss that of Mrs. Thomas Randolph, when so many people drove front all portions of the state in their chariots and coaches-and-four, to dc honor to the gentle lady's memory, that tales of the great funeral passed down us a sort of legend In the neigh borbood. The Randolph family has always been one of the most distinguished in Virginia and its members have held nearly every office in the gift of the state. William Randolph, whom we have mentioned as the builder of Tuck ahoe, gave to each of his seven sons an Immense plantation, and the name of the estate, as of some principality, was afterwards used to designate the own er. Thus Randolph of Tuckahoe, Ran dolph of Curies. Randolph of lltin goness, etc., became distinctive titles. One of these sons, John, afterwards went to England, where he was knight ed. A later descendant of the family, the brilliant, but eccentric, John Ran dolph of Roanoke, delighted In follow ing this custom of his ancestors, and always signed himself Randolph of Roanoke. Tuckahoe passed out of the hands of the Randolph family about fifty years ago. It is now owned by Mr. Richard S. Allen, who takes a worthy pride in preserving this heirloom ol the Old Dominion Intact and un changed. I,, a.

It has also been found that a suitable fungi cide will kill the germs on the tubers without Injuring the growth of the po tatoes. Corrosive sublimate meets these requirements and has been advo cated by the Furdue experiment sta tion, where Its application originated. Ho effective has it been found, so cheap and easy to apply, that many large growers, who get extra prices for their crops by having high grade product, have adopted the treatment as a regu lar thing. The deadly poisonous na ture of corrosive sublimate, however, has kept It from'coming Into general use. It is, therefore, considered a mat ter of considerable moment to be able to announce tbe discovery of a new fungicide for potato scab, one that la thoroughly efficient and not poisonous. The new substance Is formalin (some times called formaldehyde), a watery solution of a gas, not very expensive, and rapidly coming Into favor as a general antiseptic, so that it Is likely to become still cheaper and better known. It Is sold by tbe fluid ounce, und can be obtained at most drug stores. The mpthod of using the new fungicide Is very simple. Eight ounces of the formalin are added to ID gallons of water, and In this the seed potatoes are snaked for two hours. After taken from the hath they can be cut and plant ed as usual, either at once or after some time. Formalin Is not corrosive, and so can he used in any kind of vessel, and not being poisonous, there are no particular precautions to be observed. It does, however, make the hands smurt, if there are any raw spots, and the lumen Irritate (he eyes and throat. Hut these are only slight annoyances. Further Information about formalin and Its use as a fungicide will be given In a bulletin to be Issued In a short time. The potato crop of the state of Indiana reaches annually tbe large fig ure of ovier 90,000 acres, and nearly 6, 000,000 bushels, and Is sometimes larger. The treatment of the seed tubers as here recommended, will ma terially raise the market value of the crop, and prove a source of profit of do mean proportion. Try It. J. C. Arthur, botanist. To Fight til* Hiii »lo«* ftrnl*. The recently discovered widespread occurrence of the worst known Insect fruit pest of America, the Han Jose scale, and the Imminent danger of heavy and continuous losses resulting from the common distribution of that insect, have stirred all the Interests In volved to unusual activity with a view to escaping if possible from so serious a misfortune. The Ohio Htate Horticultural Society has lately Issued a call for a national ■onference to be held in Washington with a view to maturing and recom mending national and state legislation for preventing the distribution of in sects and fungi injurious to fruits. A preliminary conference of official en tomologists and professors of horti culture representing eight north-cen tral states was held in Chicago Jan uary 29, and an important discussion was lead of measures to be taken by the separate states for the Inspection of orchards, nursery stock, and the like, and especially for the detection und destruction of the Sun Jose scale wherever there Is reason to suppose tnut It limy nave been immuueeu. u Wat.

Are they In Texas and the sunny South, where cotton Is worth 4 cents a pound? Are they on the corn lands of Kansas and Ne braska? Are they In the wheat regions of Minnesota and In the Northwest? No. they are In the famous Elgin dairy district of Illinois, the thrifty dairy section of Iowa, the butter farms of Wisconsin, the western reserve of Ohio, always noted for Its cheese and butter. These are the most famous regions, but there are many smaller sections In nearly all the states, whers the one business Is that of producing butter and cheese, and In all of them the prosperous condition prevails be cause there Is good profit In It, and be cause It Is cash. The cow le always at work; while she Is roaming over the pasture, nibbling here and there, ahe la picking up money, and she carries It home; she selects money-producing elements, assorts them, grinds them, rectifies them, and brings the valuable parts to the barn.

On the tables of the rich and poor alike they are ac ceptable; yet It Is generally the rich alone who have them, from the fact that they are. able to get their supply from the market. The poor man either grows his or goes without. The Limas require quite a little extra care and fostering, hut this is well expended If a good crop can be secured. May Is near and by the second or third week we should begin preparations for the crop. This will seem very late to many, yet nothing Is gained by plant ing too early. If they are the varieties that may be poled, we will give each hill plenty of room; say three and one half feet between rows and two and one-half feet apart. Around each pole a large quantity of well-rotted manure should be thoroughly worked Into the coll and then eight or ten beans plant ed. A Lima bean wants to be planted right side up, too. It will pay to give a little attention to this seemingly un important detail. Then be sure to seed heavily enough. Better too many In each hill than that only a few strag gling plants be found. When they be gin to creep up the pole, keep the lat uals that are only a drain upon the strength aDd vitality of the vine pinched back. "They don't mature and 1 can’t make them." This Is the complaint heard on all sides from would-be Lima bean growers. Keep the vines pinched back to mature the few that do set and this difficulty will be surmounted.—Success with the Gar den.

IIINTH TO THE TEACHER. These words contain the outline of m notable sermon, preached on an occa sion which marked an epoch In the his tory of Christianity. On that day the door waa fuOi'ielly opened for the ad mission of Oentlles Into the Church, and a divine attestation waa given lo the event by the renewed descent of the Holy Spirit. I. The preacher waa Ulmori Peter, a man. and not an angel; a man of mln fled gold and dust, not perfect, hut loyal o Christ; a man with an experience of sin and salvation; a man of clear views and warm heart; a man living In com munion with Christ. Ood can make great use of such a man as this. II. The congregation wa» small, hut some of the greatest sermons In the New Testament were preached to audiences of one or two; for example, the Samari tan woman (John 4), Nlcodemus (John 8t. (lie Kthloplun treasurer (Acts S). This audience was a little roomful of Oentlles Just emerging from Idolatry. But among them was Cornelius, a sincere seeker utter Ood. Note his traits as shown In this chapter: 1. God-fearing and right eous, though a soldier In s camp. 2. Gen erous In giving. Verse 2. Strong In godly Influence, even the soldiers around him are led to prayerfulness. 4. Hiving In communion with Ood. 5. Obedient to the divine command. Such a seeker as this will surely And the way to Ood. III. The lheme of the discourse was salvation through Christ. Notice how much Is I old concerning Jesus In this ser mon. There Is almost an epitome of his life In Peter’s compact utterance*; an Miiolnled Jesus; a working Jesus, a cm cltied Jesus; a risen Jesus; Jesus the Re deemer. the forglver of slits, the Judge of the wot Id; but most of all the great truth, now stated boldly for the (list time, that all men, of every nation, tnay lltid salva tion through Christ.
