How to Sow Oats.

have tried it two seasons. We sow on
corn stubble every year. We use u
force of men and six or dozen
horses. Work the ground crossways
from the way the corn WAS plowed
last. One man does the sowing, the
other two take the horses, two culti-
vators and slanting tooth harrow.
We set cultivator shovels so as to leave
the ground as level as possible. We
let one man go ahead with one pillow,
the other follows with pillow and
leads team to harrow. Straddle
rows same as blowing corn; lay
off lands from twelve to twenty
rows--any even number will do-so as
to not lose time in finishing up lands.
Three horses to harrow is best, as they
and harrow just cover what two plows
cut and lap a little over. We average
twelve to fifteen acres q day this way.

Civil VS.. Military Law.

It has long been a mooted question
how far a civil tribunal of the United
States could take cognizance of Grim
inal offense by soldier or sailor in
the service of the Government. A man
named Stone, private OF the Twenty
third infantry. was convicted by
military court-martial of malicious
falsehood, and sentenced to two years
hard labor in the military prison. One
day he made great rush for liberty,
but was closely pursued. and, after he
had been repeatedly ordered to halt, a
sergeant named Clark shot him dead.
Clark was indicted and tried before a
United States court, and the outcome
of the matter was that he was dis
charged upon the ground that the
court had jurisdiction to discharge or
convict the prisoner, because the law
military in no way interferes with the
civil or municipal law of the country,
and, second, that while in the civil
law the killing of an escaping felon is
justiiable, the killing Of fugitive
guilty OF misdemeanor only is not
iustifiable, yet the principle must not
be too narrowly construed; and,
whereas, in this case, the killing is
done in good faith and without malice.
in the performances of duty incident
to military law, the court will If the
discretion of the prisoner has been in-
diligently exercised, not hold him for
murder. - Chicago News.

OUR COUNTRY'S NAME.

Can There Not Be Found Some Other
Title Than ssThe United States?"
Probably the worst name for coun-
try known to history is tie United
States of America. 1t is ambiguous,
may mean either nation or con-
federacy, and has two senses in the
Constitution. 1t is not so trivial as
New Found Land, but it is longer, and
does not admit of shortening as does
the name of our neighbor island to
Newfoundland. New South Wales is
almost as bad. and all three are awk'
ward beyond redemption.
The test of the name of country is
in whether it admits of derivative
gentle noun and adjective. Europe
gives us European; Britain. British;
Cyprus. Cypriote, and Siam, Siamese.
These are good as names. But no
man can bring himself to say that ne
is New South Welshman, OF that he
is United States of American. And
so, after the fashion in which the
neighbors of Praise-God Barebone's
brother with the wonderful name. "1f
Christ Had Not Died Thou Hadst Been
Damned" said it for short. we are in
the habit Of calling ourselves simply
by the tail end of our proper designa-
ton. Americans, forgetful that every
human being from Yukon to Patagonia
has equal rights with us to the name.
Some Of our States allow no deriv.
ative A man from Virginia is Vir-
gilman, from South Carolina South
Carolinian; but how does a man from
Massachusetts pronounce his name?
Only Yankee, which is no less absurd
than for Enroughty to spell Darby.
What is a man from Connecticut?
Still Yankee. What is a man from
New Hampshire? Still Yankee, al

later names adopted by our States are

Ohioan is disagreeable derivative OF
Ohio. The gentle word ought to be
Oliote, like Cypr'ote, but perhaps the
people of that great State do not care
to rhyme with coyote. Wisconsin re-
fuses as strenuously as Michigan to &C

Boards of Health Should Take Measures
Against Their Consumption.
While the war has ragged with vary
ing fortune over the question OF to-
bacco from the issuance of King
James counterblast to the present
time. no defender of the Indian weed
has been found who would venture to
assert that it is innoxious to youths
and children. On the contrary, all
writer's who have studied the ques-
ton agree that the effect of tobacco,
and especially of cigarettes, is uni
formly injurious to the young. and
that under no conceivable conditions
can it be harmless to them. 1t has
been demonstrated that tobacco
checks the physical growth of chill
dren, clouds their minds and imrairs
their intellects. and develops kind
of heart trouble which often re-
suits fatally. So well is this
known and understood that can
didates for admission to the
United States military or naval acad-
emv are now examined with special
reference to disorders produced by
cigarette-smokang, and large pro-
portion of those who are rejected owe
their failure to pass the physical ex-
animation to the injurious and func-
tional disorders caused by cigarettes.
It is no uncommon thing nowadays
to see children scarcely out of dresses
putting at a cigarette with all the nom
chalance imaginable; and such cigar
cites, too, as they generally are. The
babies means are so limited chat they
can buy nothing but the cheapest and
yilest kinds of cigarettes, such as no
man who knows any thing about to-
bacco would look at, much less smoke;
and with these indescribably nasty
concoctions these youngsters proceed
to poison themselves. San francisco

At eight O. clock the other night Il
citizen drove up in front of hotel an
Michigan avenue and went in to look
for man. A minute later an in
dividual came out of q tobacconist'
near by, espied the horse and cutter
and broad grin lighted up his face
as he chuckled:
..Egad! bnt this is Jim's rig. I'll
give him little scare!s'
He unhitched the horse, climbed in
and drove softly away. and was well
out of sight when the owner came
out.
I've been expecting it!'' he growled
rs he found the rig gone. 'but I'll
make it hot for the thief!''
He ran this way and that, notifying
three OF four policemen and a score Of
citizens, and twenty minutes later
something happened. A man with a
grin on his face might have been seen
driving on Woodward avenue. A po-
liceman might have been seen climb
ing into the cutter with him. The grin
might have been seen fading as the
PAIR entered police headquarters. The
officer came out in few minutes, but
the citizen didn't. He staid there all
night. In the morning he was able to
convince every body that it was only a
Joke, and was allowed to go, but he

For short distance either side OF
the Loo wan pass the wall is construct"
ed of brick, with rubble in the center;
but farther away ii is composed almost
wholly OF stone; in fact, whatever
m aterials were closest at hand would
appear to have been made use Of
Thus, at the spots we visited granite

the construction of the wall was 1t
made the prin cipal ingredient, and for
miles the wall consists Of large. shape
less masses of granite, smoothed only
on the outside. We observed but one
tower built entirely of stone, they
being. with this exception, composed
of brick. with foundations OF hewn
stone. The height of the wall from
the top of the parapet is about IL feet
10 inches at most parts, though oc'
casionally, where the parapet is
highest, it measures IL feet 6
inches; its breadth is ID
feet, and the height of the parapet 5
feet inches. The towers arc 81 feet
8 inches high and % feet inch broad.
The parapet is both crenelated and
loopholed. and the towers are pierced
for the discharge of some projectile.
From any elevated site the scenery
we'll repay one for the trouble OF
ascent; clear streams are seen me-
andering down the passes, while on
every side, and looming far in the
distance are succession of brown
hilltops, with small patches only un-
der cultivation. Droves of pack-asses
are seen going and returning, the
former unladen, and the latter bring
ing a small kind of brushwood, which
the boarders burn instead of the millet-
stock in use on the plains. while in
wild abundance are scattered innu'
merable ash, poplar, and fire trees.
Off shoots branch out from the wall in
occasional places. For their con-
struction it is difficult in every case to
assign reason. The little town Lo.
wan Eu is completely encircled by one,
and on the opposite a double wal
winds upward with the portions in
nearly parallel lines.

How American Capitalists Are Bled by tn Q

How American Capitalists Are Bled by the
Vampires of Commerce.
There has recently come to the
knowledge of American capitalists
and promoters the fact that there is a
systematic and carefully planned
bureau OF blackmail in London. the
workings of which are concealed from
the public, but which has proven
thorn in the side of numerous Amer
lean enterprises. AS far as known
the head of the bureau is a man who
moves in fair business and social cir
cles in London, and has string in
two or three newspaper offices, in
Guiding Financial paper He has
number of correspondents on this
side of the water, where he formerly
lived for a number of years. They
keep him posted as to Americans who
go abroad to raise money for the pro-
motion OF enterprises of various kinds.
The minutest details of these enter
prises are ascertained by these corre-
spondents, in order to find any possi-
BILE flaws. On the arrival of an Amer
lean in L opdon to present to bankers
there any scheme of financial opera
tions, he is called upon by this head OF
the bureau. who delicately proffers his
services. If these are accepted and
terms agreed upon sufficiently exorbl-
tant, all goes we'll If not, the unfor-
tunate American finds his project as
sailed vituperously in a portion OF the
press, and attacked in circle where
the blackmailers move. Often he turns
about and comes home Disguised. real
