The Small Boys Rights.

A Kansas judge presents his view of the
rights of small boys in the following, which
forms a portion of his judicial decision
Everybody knows that by nature and
by instinct boys love to ride, and
love to move by other means than their
own locomotion. They will cling to the
hind ends of moving wagons, ride upon
swings and swinging gates. slide upon eel
lar doors and the rails of staircases, pull
sleds up hill in order to ride down upon
them on the snow, and even pay to ride
upo1 imitation horses and imitation char
lots swung around in circle by means of
horse power. THIS last Is very much like
riding around in circle upon a turntable.
Now everybody, knowing the nature and
the instincts common to all boys, must act
accordingly. No person has right t.
leave, even on his land, dangerous machi-
merry calculated to attract and entice boys
to it, there to be injured, unless he first
takes proper steps to guard against all acci
dent and any person who thus does leave
dangerous machinery exposed, without first
providing against all danger, Is guilty Of
negligence.

They wansed To Live m the stars.

Very near us sat two young people.
He wore the face of a man who shaves
three times day, and that white necktie
had never seen the starlight before. There
was pearl powder on the shoulder of his
coat, and tender, dreamy look in her
lovely eyes. They sat and looked up at
the stars, and they didn't care for any soil
tary thing any nearer to this earth. ''Mor-
timer, she murmured seftly, Mortimer"
his name appeared TO be Mortimer.
though | couldn't learn whether it was his
front name or his after rname-"Mortimer,
DEAR" she said, ''if we could only live
apart from this busy and sordid, unsym-
pathetic world, in one Of yon glittering
orbs of golden radiance, living apart from
all else, only for each other, forgetting the
base things of earthly life, the coarse greed
of the world and Its animal instincts, that
would be our heaven, would it not,
dear 7"
And Mortimer, he said that it would.
''There heart of my own,' he said, and his
voice trembled with earnestness, my own
darling Ethel, through all the softened ra-
dance of the day and all the shimmering
tenderness of night, our lives wonli pass
away in an exalted atmosphere above the
basel born wants of earthly mortals, and far
beyond the chattering crowd that lives hut
for to-day, our lives, refined beyond the
common ken"
And Just then the man with the gong
came out. Mortimer, he made grab at
Ethel's hand and plunge for the cabin
door. Ethel just gathered her skirts with
her other hand, junrei clear over the back
Of her chair and after him, and away they
went, Gathering down the cabin, upset a
chair, ran into a good, sweet old Quaker
lady, and banged bad word out of her be-
fore she had time to stop it; down the
stairs they rushed, collared a couple of
chairs at the nearest table, feed waiter,
and opened the campaign without skirm-
ishing. | am man of coarse mold and an
earth-born appetite myself, and wouldn't
live in star so long as | could find good
hotel in America but long, long before |
could get seats at the table for my famely,
Mortimer and Ethel had eaten two blue
fish, little rare beefsteak, some corn
bread, plate of hot cakes, two boiled eggs
and bunch of onions, and the waiter had
gone out to toast them some cheese. Moral
| have during my wanderings, met several
people who wanted to live in star, where
earth-born people with human appetItes
couldn't trouble them, and l always found
the safest place for an earth-born man when
the star-born soul started for the dinner table
was behind large rock. Distrust the
aspiring mortal who lives in plane 50 ele-
vsted that he requires the use of a telescope
when he wants to look down at the rest of
US. And if he ever wants to board at your
humble table, charge hiu $l5 week and
feed him on lots of soup, or you'll lose
money on him.

The Mouths OF Plants.

'If you are very thirsty SAID old Mr..
Ewing, land l was to pour a glass of wa
ter on the top of your head, would you be
very grateful to me {"
NO." said Tom, who was watering his
geranium, I'D be mad!"

treating your plant much better. 1t has
mouths, and it likes to drink when it is
thirsty, but you don't pour the water INTO
Its mouths"
~ don't know where they are" said
Tom, looking curiously at the bush.
''lts leaves are full of eager little pores
and they are choked with DUST Mr.. Ew-
iny said. 'Just put the nose again on the

Tom picked up the nose, put 1t on the
spout of the pot and gave the bush tho

"Plenty more" said the old man; lone

"And don't you see you are doing thu

the irritable old man. '.When you do any

And he took the watering pot himself
and every mouth in each plant got goot
drink that time.

Tobacco Fertilizers.

Next to stable manure we believe tobac-
CO stems to be the best fertilizer for tobacco
known. Castor pumaee when used in con-
nectiJn with manure gives a good leaf of
dark color and fine texture. 1t is now gen.
orally conceded by all tobacco-growers that
the leaf is more even In color when grown
on the same ground year after year, like
the oni J, while less amount of fertilizers
can be used and about the same amount of
leaf will be secured. At the South COM
mercial fertilizers are used almost exclu-
sively, while at the West when fertilizers
are used at all the kind used is the very
bes; of barn-yard manure. In Wisconsin
the largest growers in the State use this
kind of fertilizer for both common Wis
oonsin and Spanish leaf. In Cuba, Peru
Wan guano is used largely as well as the
manure of mules. In Syria goats dung is
used, while in Japan only liquid manure is
used, applying it TO The roots of the plant IN
same manner as with the tea plant In Ger
many, Russia and Holland fertilizers from
the stable are used. In Franco the entire
system of culture is under control of Gov
ernment officials, and the prescribed amount
"a ~ thC dCiC 10 CStdDllsutu ny
law, as well as the time of topping. suck
ering and the number Of leaves to be left
on each plant. The culture of tobacco in
Europe is controlled entirely by the Gov
ernment in thirteen nations, and is rapidly
being brought to high state of perfection.
Manure must be in soluble state in order
10 induce rapid growth, without which
the leaf will be of little value. Tobacco is
the most rapid grower of all our field pro-
ducts. Green manure should not be ap-
plled in the spring, but in the fall may be
spread or plowed under about twelve cords
OF stable manure to the acre, or from forty
to fifty ordinary cart-loads. Seed leaf or
cigar tobacco requires richer soil than cut
ting tobacco, but of late the Virginia and
Kentucky tobacco growers are using large
quantities of stable or ''cow-pen" manure.
In the heavy tobacco country OF Kentucky
the planters are giving the subject of fertIl-
izers very much attention, and throughout
the entire tobacco-growing section of the
country the question is being repeatedly
asked, ''How and what fertilizers shall we
use on tobaccof' 1t may safely be affirm
ed that the land can hardly be manured too
highly, yet the query has been raised of
late whether too much manure to the acre
is possible. The subject is certainly vital
one and worthy of study and experiment.
Tobacco growing is science yet in its in
fancy no doubt, since new sorts are being
constantly originated and new methods of
culture adopted. Fertilizers must be used
literally, else it will do no good to plant.
From l 800 or 1000 pounds to the acre is
the average yield in the New England and
Middle States, and the seed leaf of those
States is now considered the finest grown
in this country

An Egyptian Mummy.

In the Etruscan vase room of the British
Museum, is to be seen the skeleton of one
Pharoah MykernIus, decently encased in
its original burial clothes, and surrounded
by fragments of the coffin, whereon the
name of its occupant can be easily read by
Psychologists, affOrding conclusive evi-
dence that it once contained the mummy
of king who was reigning in Egypt more
than a century before the time of Abra-
ham. The proof of this is thus explained
in the Gentteman's Magazine April,
1906: ''AbOut two years ago, Herr Due
mechin, German explorer of the mOnu-
ments of Egypt, following up the indIca-
tons pointed cut by NJ. AIariette, a distin-
gushed arch9olOgist, discovered on the
buried walls Of the temple of Osiris, Ably
dos, large tablet containing the names of
the ancient Pharoahs, from the time of
Mizraim, the grandson of Noah, and the
founder of the Egyptian monarchy, to
that of Pharoah Seti l., the father of the
well-known Rameses the Great, including
thereby the chronology of nine centuries
viz, from B. G, 2300 to b. c. 400. This
tablet, by far the most important yet dis
covered, has been compared to the sculp-
tured figures of the Kings of England at
the Crystal Palace, from William the Con-
queror to Her Majesty Queen Victoria.
Astronomical evidence moreover, enables
us to determine the time of two important
epochs in the history Of Egypt, one Of
which is connected with our present sub
ject Sir John Herscbel has fixed the age
of the Great Pyramid of Gizeh to the mid
die of the twenty-second century B. c.
The tablet of Abydos shows that the Pha-
roah whose bones We now possess succeed
ed the builder of the Great Pyramid with
only two intervening kings. We are there
fore warranted in assuming that the re-
mains of Pharoah Mykernius belong to
the age which we have assigned them"

A Patent Tramp Trap.

A Western man has invented what he
terms ''tramp trap 1t consists If an or
binary freight car in which is movable
bed resting on spiral springs, something
like spring mattress. To this bed is at
tached a clutch which acts on an elliptic
spring connected with the doors. The
movable bed is adjusted so as not to move
until a required weight Is upon it. In the
car are placed several boxes OF crackers and
cheese. and the doors are left wide open.
These articles are soon discovered by trsmps
and they begin TO swarm around the car and
to enter. When the required weight is in
the car the bottom suddenly flies up. throws
out the clutch, and the doors close quick as
flash and fasten with spring-lock; the
traInps are thus secured until captured by
the railroad officials.

Phelim Toole, who was brave fireman

hind wheels are on pivot and man has

fly-ladder; that delayed us about minute
and half-no more. We raised the ladder
on the Walnut street side, but there was no
one to be saved there, so we took her down
and went round to the Fourth street side.
1t is an ugly street-there is double car
track and that porch was in our way; but
we got her up in very quick time, and then
left my place and Skinned up the ladder.

A PicKpocket sold,

Recently a lady living At the upper part
OF East Broadway, n. Y. on her way home
boarded an East Broadway one-horse Cur
in front of Frankfort street, deposited her
fare in the cash box and was then invited
to take a seat by man who moved to an
other part of the car. The lady had with
her portfolio of large size, which she held
on her lap after being seated. She had
not ridden far before she felt something
touching the right side Of her dress, and
looking down saw newspaper was cover
ing portion of it. Her suspicious were
aroused, as she had her gold watch and a
ten-dollar note in her pocket on that side of
the dress, and she at once felt for the valid
ables and found them. She took them out
of her pocket, and being convinced that the
fellow alongside of her was pickpocket,
thought she would have little fun at his
expense. She took the watch and wrapped
the ten-dollar note around it, so that he
could see 1t, and then putting the portfolio
in such a way that the fellow could not see
what she was doing, put the articles in her
left hand, and placed her right again in her
pocket as if depositing the watch and
money there. The lady had in her pocket
a cracker in piece of paper. one left of a
half dozen she had taken with her from
home as ''snack," and, squeezing the
paper around the hard cracker, she drew it
up close to the entrance to the pocket and
waited to see if the fish would bite. In a
moment or two afterward she felt the news
paper again thrown csrelessly over her lap
and the delicate touch on her dress as be-
fore, and then the fellow got up and pulled
the strap for the car to be stopped. He
got out, and, putting hand in each of his
overcoat pockets, marched down East
Broadway until he came to corner, around
which he passed on the double quick to ex-
anime his booty. The lady wonders what
the thief said when instead Of gold watch
and ten dollar note he found out that he
had stolen a cracker and piece Of white
paper. As the lady does not care about
the loss, detectives need not call on her
to ascertain what she will give for the re-
covery of the property. She does not wish
to make any compromise. The thief was
a well formed fellow, about five feet eight
or nine inches high, not stout, with a bad
looking left eye. He had an accom2lice,
No doubt in the man who first got up In
the car and offered the lady the seat, as
after the thief left the other soon followed.
