THE best soil for wheat is where clay
predominates A mixture of sand and
clay is the best soil for a succession of
crops, and sand for bright, stiff straw,
but too sandy a soil is too porous for
wheat, although good spring wheat is
frequently grown on sandy soils Muck
is not well adapted for the growth of
wheat, but where the land is rich wheat
will succeed on variety of soils. There
is no better preparation for wheat
crop than clover turned under. Nitro
gen is needed for the growth of wheat,
ard if the urine of the horse or cow is
applied to the growing crop early in the
spring you may look for a good yield of
grain.

"Can you tell me the way to Jennie's house
Jennie, the Iairds one daughter?
Many a lover from far and near,
IT'S said, has vainly sought her.
I've beauty and wit and pluck;
And where many have failed, there may win
For love is half of it luck"
"I can tell you the road to Jennie's house:
It's only u bit of n mile
Over the meadow across the moor,
And you'll come to the garden style.

But Ill tell you before you start,
There's many lover finds Jennie's house
That never finds Jennic's heart"
"Then tell me the road to her heart, old man."
You'll never on foot win there;
II Is steep and narrow, and none need go
Except in a carriage and pair"
But this youth said gay1y, :" Good by, old man.
Lovers should never be late"
And loi when he got to fair Jennie's house,
she stood mt the garden gate.
And when he passed over the moor again,
He rode in a carriage and pair;
But Jennie, his bride, sat by his side,
And the oldman saw her there.
And blessed them both on their happy why,

A New Indian Policy Proposed.

WARRINGTON, req. Is.
The Senate Committee on Indian Affairs at
q long special meeting to day agreed to re-
port for passage an original bill designed to
cover the entire range Of the Indian question,
by the enactment of various new provisions,
based upon the general principle that the
United states should in great measure aban-
don the policy of treating Indians as children,
and place them as speedily as possible upon
the footing of citizens. The main features of
the plan outlined by the committee are:
First-Permanent localiZatiOn of the Indians
by allotting homesteads to them in severalty,
with provisions that lands SO allotted shall
be absolutely inalienable during a period of
twenty five years.
Standardization over the Indians of the
general, civil and criminal laws of the United
States or of the respective States and Terri
tories within whose border they are located.
Third-Continuation of certain degrees of
assistance to them by the Government in the
line of progress towards civilization, until
they become self sustaining by means of ag
ricuItural and pastoral occupation
1t is not proposed by the committee to trans
fer control of the Indians to the War Depart
ment, but the bill will largely divest the In
terror Department of discretionary power in
regard to Indians by placing them individual
ly under control of the country's general laws.
The provisions of the bill are not to apply to
the five civilized tribes of the Indian Terrific
~. Its details will be subjects for considera-
ton at future meetings. Col Brooks, Acting
Commissioner of Indian Affairs, says: All
tribes, except the Utes and Lempis, are in
reservations capable of supporting them by
means of agTicultuse- or stock raising.

Fooled Again.

For three long hours yesterday fore
noon a stranger sat on horse-blOck OF
Woodward Avenue, near the parks, il
the cold north wind, closely watching
vehicles and pedestrians and acting as i
he expected something of importance tt
occur. His long hair, cadaverous face
and seedy dress at length attracted tho
attention of a policeman to him, and the
officer asked why he sat there.
Say" replied the man, as he rose up
and reached out his hand to shake, g

for she's been engaged eight times and
is used to disappointment. Say, how
do you suppose the performance will

"Haven't any idea"
Haven't, Ell? Be a high old time,

Some Curious Information About Will

Wilhelm, the violinist, is coming
and already the interest on the Com
stock is divided between reports of his
| artistic ability and surmises as to the
reasons for dragging that final around
after him as a cavalry officer does a
sword.
One musical critic remarked to-day
that Bill ought to fix wheels to the and
drag it after him with less labor.
Another observed that he probably
used the crook of his to hang his fiddle
on when he went to bed.
A third thought he ought to be
telegraphed and advised; TO keep it
under his arm When he reached Virgin

Prof. Jessup was interviewed by a
Chronicle reporter about the j, and said
in substance that such a termination
was common in Hungarian names, es-
pecially among the bold mountaineers
of that romantic country. &c Darwin, -
continued the Professor, "takes a
strong interest in Hungary. I'm told
that he regards the popular, terminal j
as of high scientific value as a survival,
in a figurative sense, of the time when
the ancient Hungarians hung themselves
up III tiiO ing ol bhO VI u CCo

sented the final j. What they once
carried on their bodies they now rep

names"

enading Broadway Il bulldog seized his

Wilhelmj has worn it wrapped up in red

Prof. Jessup had not heard of this
we'll authenticated incident in the great
violinist's experiences, but volunteered
the information that it is only because
of his lifelong practice that the Hunga-
rian mountaineer succeeds in managing
his with dexterity. 1t is quite com
