Ii has been an open question what rights q

case could be taken up to the supreme court,
so as TO get an authoritative decision on the
point involved. The question at issue is
whether, when a pedestrian starts from Il e

driven at a speed within the legal limit, but
yet SO fast that the pedestrian il sure 10 be
run down unless there is a change OF spe' or
direction by one or the oihe,-the p-de>trian

the vehicle take care not TO run ever him.
This WAS about the point beo 'ne police
court las: week, and Jude Simmons, held,
after beariDg the evidence, that as crossings
/ were ia aie for the convenience Of per>ons on
foot, i; was the duty of the drivers OF all We
hIcles, including street-cars, not Oniy to
checktheir speed when any person was on
a crossing approaching Ii, bu: 10 stop where
there might be the lesst danger OF a collision.
He maintained that a driver had 40 right to
expect that any one crossing street would
get out of the way and so he fined the car
drive.
1t is a well known fact, az the Reputtitcn
says, that persons in carriages seem TO think
that those on foot hare no rights that car
riage people are required to respect; very
| few people have ever had occasion to fire.
quently cross the streets Of city, who
have not learned by experience that this is
true, ard that although the crossings are
made for footmen, aud that footmen are
entitled to the walk in preference TO car
riages, a man must cross at his peril If a
carriage chances to he coming at the same
time. We are glad to know that the St.
Louis justice had the courage to fine car
driver for violating the rights of footmen,
and hope other officers may profit by his
example. The crossings belong to pedes-
trians, Just as much as the side walks do,
and drivers should understand this fact.
Reckless driving over the cross walks not
only works a great inconvenience to pedes-
trians, but is fraught with much danger.

The walls are fourteen feet high and the

sheep as Ec rtiliziDg Agents.
lAmerican Farmer.l


More than once, and on more than one
farm, have seen dry, barren spots, such az
gravel knolls and side hills made fertile and
productive in a single season, simply by
salting.a small flock Of sheep on these bar
rem spots twice a week during the summer.
The sheep would be sure TO resort there
several times day to lick up the salt, and
thus leave their droppings, both liquid and
solid, which.are very rich fertilizers; then
the next season, the most rank and luxuri-
ant growths of grass or grain would be pro-
duced On these "galled spots" Of any other
portion Of the field thus, the best kind OF
manure was applied and spread just where
most wanted without any hard labor.
Weight for weight, sheep manure is more
fertilizing than either horse or COW manure,
and next in value to hen or hog droppings.
