A NEEDED WARNING

There are four condemned murderers in
New York who ought to have been
''electrocuted" long ago, but ingenious
lawyers have thus far succeeded in keep
ing them alive, and there is no telling
how much longer they will be allowed to
live. The case of Jugiro, the Japanese
murderer, has been appealed three times
to the highest court of the State and twice
to the Supreme court of the United
States. There is nothing to prevent its
being again appealed to Washington and
the sentence again put off if the attorney
is let alone. He has but to apply for a
writ of habeas corpus and then appeal.
This is true also Of the cases of Wood,
Smiler and Slocum, who are sentenced to
die during the week beginning July s..
But there are signs that the lawyers will
not be allowed to have things all their
own way. In denying motion for re-
argument in the Jugiro case the
Court Of Appeals said something.

There is a remarkably successful indus
trial school for girls near Asheville, N. c.,
in charge of the Rev. Henry Pease, who, it
will be remembered, was the founder and
promoter of the benefcent work of the
Five Point mission, one of the first organ
lied attempts to improve the condition of
the miserably poor of New York. In 1870
Mr.. Pease went to Asheville for the benefit
of his health, impaired by his unceasing
labor at the Five Points. There he pur-
chased farm, beautifully situated on the
hills near the town, and now very valua-
able. His actively benevolent spirit was
soon concerned as to the best means of re-
lieving the deplorsble condition of the poor
mountain whites, and believing that this
| object might be soonest gained by educat-
ing and Christianizing the girls, his wife
and himself opened their home to the

and provided for at their expense. In

all over the world will look with scorn up-
on some women of Illinois who call them
selves "women remonstrsnts. A docu-
ment put forth by them expresses alarm

ernment of men, say tho remonstrants,
they have emo real or just cause of public
grievance" In the State of Illinois "the
rights of women, in regard to such inter-
ests as those of property and the guardian
ship of children, are already equal to those
of men," The remonstrants also denounce
the agitators for urging 'our young

in striking way when he said: "The

The people have got to sup port the gov

Some people know good deal about
what most people know nothing about.

Belgian railroad officials, after three
years of investigation, report that under
ordinary. circumstances the average railroad
tram in passing over one mile of track
wears from it two and one-fifth pounds.
This natural destruction of track amounts
for the whole world to about 1880, 900
pounds daily.
A new power in municipal affairs has
popped up in Detroit. According to a
Detroit paper "a bicycling mayor and a
bicycling board of aldermen, elected by
the patrons of that machine, are among
the not very remote possibilities. For the
bicyclers will soon be numerous enough
to hold the balance OF power between the
two parties and be having something to
say about pavements."
As illustrating red tape the following is
seriously related: A Navajo Indian pupil
at the Teller institute ont in Colorado was
found to have one more toe than the regu-
lation number on one of his feet, in conse-
auence of which the superintendent felt
authorized to order for the pupil a special
pair of shoes. The institution is under
government control, and Secretary Noble
disputed the bill, whereupon the superin
tendent wrote to the secretary: .Indian
boy here with six toes; can't possibly wear
government shoe. What shall doa' The
secretary answered: "OF with his toe ,
Next the superintendent asked: (Which
toes" And the secretary wrote: "Sixth toe
of course" Again the superintendent .d

FARM N HOME.
Uses OfLeaves.

According to the health and vigor Of the
foliage of any plant, writes Josiah Hopes
will be Its usefulness; the direct bealing on
fruit and flowers Is incalcuable. II a plant
be defoliated the succeeding crop Of fruit will
be greatly Injured, If not ruined, and the
growth damaged for some time TO come.
Hence the leaves may well be termed the vital
organs of vegetable life. By their appearance
we may judge of the constitution OF trees and
plants. If destructive insects or diseases are
pres ent the foliage at once shows a depart
ure from health, and is a signal to the owner
that the plant needs immediate attention.
Other symptoms appear later, but sickly, yell
iow.tlnted foliage Is the foreranner of disas-
ter. Application of fertilizers to the soil
shows at once In the leaves, by increase Of
size and a deeper green color. LuXuriant
foliage always denotes augmented growth
and consequent usefulness. The practice OF
partial de1Oliat1on of trees aud vines ITO ad-
init air ard light to the fruit" is a grave error.
While light vt all times Is beneficial, full sun
light Is not a necessity, and an abundance OF
leaves collecting vapor and gases from the air
perform an immense amount OF good, Tar
more than the mere rays Of the sun shining
directly on the skin Of the fruit. Much sum-
mer pruning Is consequently to be discOur-
aged, excepting Ia rare Instances where an
unhealthy growth Is to be removed. Varie.
gated-leaved plants are not unhealthy, as may
be seen by their strong growth of wood and ap
parent freedom from disease; their peculiar
color Is the result OF some abnormal cOndi.
