INSULTS TO THE KING

1t was after these
INSULTS TO THE KING
that United States Consul Greenbaum
raised the United States lag at the request
of Malietoa, over the public buildings in
Apia. For TIM he said the practical ef-
feet Of that action, authorized ~ il was,
was 10 check the action of the German
local authorities. After the Ger
man fleet had sailed away the Ger
man and American Consuls had
again Joined in declaration that
Tamasese never mad been recognized
bv either OF them as King and that Malie-
toa was King. This act had been wholly
without authority and Mr.. Gfeenbaum's
part in it had very properly been dis
ayoged by the American Government.
He had no more right 10 assert a protec-
torats there than The German or English
consuls had. Il was whilst the agents Of
the three conferaes, Mr.. Bayard and the
English snd German ministers, y ere en-
paged in obtaining information that the
German Government deposcd Malie;oa
and set up Tamasese. This was
THE WORST FEATURE OF THE CASE
because at this very time the negotiations
were going on on oound, Just snd honest
basis for the restoration of the statue quo
There were indications, be thought, that the
English Government was coinclding with
the German policy. He was not stating
the facts for the purpose of saying who
was wrong or who was right, or whether
Germany was justified in the coufse
which she pursued. lie could not
sav however, that he found in
the pspers any justification for Ger
many. Prince Bismarck, whose strong and
imperial will was shown in all communica-
tions asserted the equal rights OF each OF
these governments, but insisted, as a mai
ter of policy, that it would be better 70
place the custody of the ielands under the
control of one Of the powers and as Ger
many had the largest property interests
there. that it would be best to place II
uuder German control and power.

to afford pasture sometimes good
but mostly quite inferior. The efforts
made to push this plant into notice are
not judicious. 1t would be better if the
system of which it is a part should be
abandoned for q better one in which it
would not find a place. Hence it is wiser
to SO manage the land that a systematic
rotation may come in, in which clover,
peas, or millet, and especially clover, may
be grown, as it can Returned under after
two crops of hay and One pasturing have
been made as PREPARATION for new be-
ginning of a series of cotton, corn, wheat,
or oats, and clover seeding again. This
would be more than quadruIle the value
of the Japan clover and afford quantity
of vegetable matter OF the most valuable
kind to turn under for a cotton crop,
which, with the right cultivation, would
double or treble the yield under the pres
emit circumstances. Hence rather than en-
courage the deliberate seeding of Japan
clover, it would be better to grow com
mon clover unless the land is too poor to
produce it, when the poorer substitute
may be used legitimately as a makeshift
until the land has improved sufficiently
to bear the better crop.
AS caution to farmers in the North
against being misled into purchasing seed
of Japan clover by the present too en-
thusiastic praises of it that are current it
may be said that the plant will not grow
north of Virginia and scarcely in the
northern pant of that State. It is a close
companion of cotton and will not succeed
far from the cotton fields. And yetsome
farmers in Minnesota have been deluded
into buying seed from dishonest persons
who knew shat it was useless to SOW it
there when they sent the seed.

France has hitherto regarded the huge
tun at Heidelberg with mingled feelings
of envy and regret. 1t appeared to the
vine growers of the Gironde and the Cote
vessel to the sour Juice of the Rhineland
was a degradation of mechanical art
from the functions which it was intended
to perform. The present tun is compar-
atively modern. Even the one which
Thomas Coryat describes in his "Crudi-
ties" was not the first of the series,
which, as matter of fact, was begun in
1343, when it was made to contain 81
pipes of wine. When Cor Jat came to
Heidelberg in 1908 the sask be describes
was only II years old. 1t had been be-
gun in 1889 and finished in 1891. As
history records that another tun was
made in 1864 to hold 600 hogsheads, and
was destroyed by the French in 1888, the
one which is at present moIdering away
i'll unhonored emptiness must be the
fourth of its race. It was begun in 1851,
and in its height of "a feet and length of
SO feet the great tun is, as Longfellow
has put it, "next to the Alhambra of
Granada, the most magnificent ruin of
the middle ages"
Nevertheless, says the London Stand
ard, the tame of the Heidelberg cask is
somewhat undeserved. The tun is really
much smaller than many beer watts in
British Breweries, which attract no
crowd of gaping tourists and are not de-
scribed in volumes of nineteenth-century
travel.

There is narrow pathway on the girds
leading to each layer to allow the carriers
to place the bodies of the dead in their
last resting place. Once the body is
laid down the thousands of vultures which
are gathered round about each of the
towers or in the trees of the ground
swoop on their prey. In less than five
minutes the corpse is bereft of every
particle of flesh, and only the bare skele-
ton remains. The vultures again relapse
into repose, standing on the tower walls
basking in the sunlight or seeking cool
and shade in the deep foliage of the trees.
Not sound breskss.the silence; your own
voices hushed, as it were, out Of respect
for the dead, alone are audible, and the
palm trees creaking in the breeze is all
that breaks the stiffness and peace.
Slowly We retrace our steps TO the spot
where we first met our guide; here he ore
sents us with a rosegay of flowers gather
ed from the grounds, and with low
salaam leaves US to descend the steps
alone. As we drive of we look back and
catch glimpse of the white walls; huge
vulture rising slowly with q few flaps of
his wings sails majestically from one
tower to another. A shudder passes over
US as We turn our heads toward the city
of Bombay, which is bsthed in golden
sunset.

japan Glover.

A useful plant in some places and under
some circumstances, whose origin is an
unsolved problem appeared in South Caro-
lima nearly thirty years ago. It was given
the naue Japan Glover, no one knows
Why, but it is supposed because some per-
sons believed that the seed had been
brought from Japan in some manner and
had been sown accidentally. The bo-
tanical name of the plant is Lespedeza
strata. Several species of this genus,
Lespedeza, are common in the south, but
none is of any use except this one. The
gunus belongs to the leguminous family,
to which the clover belongs, but has no
claim to the name clover except that it has
triplicate leaf. The species referred to
attracted no notice until after the war Of
1861 SIS, when it was said to have follow
ed in the track of Sherman's cavalry.
This plant is curious instance of ad.
aptation of natural agencies to the ameli-
Grafton and improvement of the human
race. The South, exhausted by the sever
tiles of an unexampled strife, was reduc-
ed to extremity so far as agriculture was
concerned. This industry has been pro-
strated, an the means to raise it at once
were not in existence. Then this plant
appeared and suddenly covered the waste
fields with verdure and means of pro-
lection and renovation. 1t has no doubt
helped considerably in Fastening the re-
storation of the agricultural industry of
the south to its present productive con-
dition, and making crop of 100000
bales of cotton possible. 1t has enabled
many farmers to treble their live stock,
and thus lay basis for still further i'm
prcvement. But it is scarcely plant to
deserve a permanent place in the agricuIt-
ure of the south, because it is only make
shift to perpetutate the improbable and
undesirable system of e1hausting the
fields and throwing them out of cultiva-
ton for series of years. It is NOR
useful plants than the prevalent brown
sedge, but is by no means as valuable a.
the common crab grass or Bermuda grass
which takes possession of the land late
in the season and makes the best of hay
and pasture. 1t has no place in any es-
tablished rotation of crops, but is weed
of which the southern fields produce sew
eral kinds that are quite as valuable if
turned to use. 1t may be sown and is
sown in some places, and there is a COM
mercial demand and for supply of the
| seed for the use mentioned, viz, to cover
waste land, to prevent washing, and

France Has Now Huge Barrel Which Rivals
the Tun of Heidelberg.
The great tun of Heidelberg is to be
depose6 from its proud supremacy over
all other wine casks. There Is on the
road to Paris huge barrel (sent by the
people of Epernay) which will compel
tn colossus OF Heidelberg to take in
future secondary place. The cask was
naturally declined as freight by the rail-
ways, for the obvious reason that it could
not pass under their arches. However,
its triumphal journey through France,
dragged by twelve yoke of oxen and
mounted on lordly vain, was in better
keeping with the object it has to serve,
than any more prosaio mode of dispatch
ing it to the grand exhibition which this
overgrown vessel is intended to grace,
and an appreciable portion of which it
will undoubtedly fill. The good liquor
with which it is to be consecrated will
follow by a more commercial route.
Epernay is understood to be The district
which the tun is to advertise in an es-
peoial degree. But Epernay, with its
vast cellarage hewn out of the limestone
rock, is the headquarters of number of
