QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.


Can you inform me why some energetic meas
ures are not taken to utilize the sewerage waters
and refuse of cities, that return it to our
lands, instead of allowing 1t to hOw into streams
and rivers, and ultimately 10 the ocean Jonas.
Ans. We cannot answer hisquestion, except to
say that as we understand it, the value efsewage
from cities is so low in regard to its bulk that
it does not pay for transportation, except so far
as it can be used in irrigation. The bulk of
water which it usually contains is so great that
its evaporation from the solids costs more than
it is worth for manure Where it can be led
by gravitation and used for irrigating crops it
has been success, but, so far as we axe in
formed, no system of rendering it portable has
yet been discovered, so far as relates to its
economical use.
am novice III rural affairs, but I am very
much interested in everything pertaining to fruit
culture. L have about half acre planted with
grapes, and on asking neighbor about the pro-
priety of dressing them with bone manure he eau-
toned me against it, because il would leave the
land worse than it is. Is this an Gseertained fact
Novice, D. 9.
Ans. We do not understand the meaning of
this caution. After the bone dressing has be-
come exhausted the land might probably re-
turn to its original condition so far as the ma
nure is concerned, but surely it could not be
worse than before the application. Tho caution
is superhuous.

To Use The United States Mail Service.
 RICHMOND, Va, Dec. 11.-It the case of the United States vs. s. B. Mason, involving the right of private individual to send lot tery tickets through the mails by purchas- CT, Judge Hughes has decided against the United States. The facts presented were as follows: Mason purchased ticket which drew prize and assuming fictitious name wrote to an agent of the lottery company. The letter under Postmaster General Gres- hams order was sent to the dead letter office in Washington, to which point it was traced by United States inspectors, opened and by correspondence with the fictitious writer of the letter Mason's identity established. Subsequently the letter was presented to the grand jury in Richmond and Mason was in dicted The case was presented for trial with the result stated. The court held that Mason, who was not an agent or vender for the lottery company, had right to use the mails. This case is unique in the fact that for the first time in the history of the govern ment the sanctity of the mails was violated by opening a letter to secure evidence for an indictment

PROVIDENCE, R. l., Dec. 11.-Thirteen years ago Augustus Williams, a young Prot estant American, married Maggie O'Reilly, the daughter of a prosperous Irish tailor of Woonsocket, against the bitter protest of his parents, as she was Catholic. For five years they lived happily until eight years ago, when Williams disappeared. His wife awaited his return until, broken down by sorrow, she gave him up as dead. Last night without warning Williams entered O'Reilly's house, where his wife had made her home, and claimed her. For eight years he had wan dered through the West working as a cowboy and miner and leading wild life until the yearning for home became too strong, and he returned. He has prepared new home in the village of GeorgiaviIle, and has just fal- len heir to fortune by the death of his grandmother.

Two Sailors Who Couldn't Re Driven
 Or Starved Of Their Vessel.
 FALL RIVER, Mass, Dec. 1.-The captain of a schooner at this point in speaking of the dullness in the business of small coasting vessels related the following recent experience with his crew. He had two men who had been with him during the season and he thought he would get along without them. He paid them S15 per month and reduced their wages to S5, thinking they would leave, but they did not The next month he re- duced their wages to S1 per month, but still they fingered. He then made another re- duction of fifty cents, but they still stuck to the ship. He then reduced their wages to fifteen cents month and told them he could pay them no wages next month if they re- mained. They still kept on the vessel and the captain thought he would try to starve them out He sailed to Providence and took his mate and cook ashore and left the tive men aboard three days without any food When he returned he found the two sailors on board and all ready for duty. How to get rid of the men is problem that the captain of this schooner can't solve

THE SPANISH TREATY.

 tary FreIfnghuysen.
 WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.-Secretary Freling huysen to-day sent long communication to the President in support of the proposed new Spanish American treaty. After deal ing with the advantages to our shipping by the reciprocal abolition of tonnage dues, the abolition of consular fees and the important concessions for our agricultural products and manufactured goods, he says he cannot doubt that the treaty will work immediate benefit to our citizens, our trade and our vessels. The loss of revenue which reduc- tion of the sugar and tobacco dues brought about harmonized with the policy which placed coffee and other like products on the free list. With the enlarged demand on Cuba and Porto Rico for the articles which we are by the treaty enabled to supply, under favorable conditions a commercial movement toward the Antilles from our shores must spring up which will tend to equalize the present in equality of trade between them. The pas sage of laws necessary to carry the treaty into effect, the Secretary says, rests wholly with Congress and in order that commerce may not suffer in the meantime throug atagTation while awaiting the result of their deliberations, it is most desirable that no delay should ensue in giving effect to the convention which, taken in conjunction! with like engagements with other countries of the Amer ican system, must exert an immed- fate and beneficial influence on the intercourse betwee the United States and the neighboring communities and give prac tieal effect to the general desire to knit more closely together the nations of this continent, while at the same time afford ing market for our productions
