Manufacturers and Dealers in Super
 phosphates, Bone Meal. Etc.

L>0R SOME TIME GREAT WANT HAS II been felt by the orange grower of southern California for & fertilizer adapted to this fruit
 We have been successful in finding just the food, and now offer to the orange grower our "Oange Tree Fertilizer" It is an article thoroughly adapted 10 this tree, consisting of bone, potash, phosphoric acid. ammonia and other ingredients, and is a complete manure for growing trees from time Of setting out to full maturity. Gophers will not work where this fertilizer Is used, on account of their dist,-ste for the phosphoric acid, which is very helpful
 to the tree-either orange or lemon In the growing of other citrus or deciduous fruits in California the use of fsuperphosphates. according to Prof. Hilgard, will be found much better adapted to the purpose thsn either barnyard or stable manure in that they contain the neces- sary constituents of which the soil has been de prived by It's long continuance m the cultiva
 ton of such crops. In setting out trees, one pound per tree should be used thoroughly mixed with the soil before irrigating. The quantity used on old trees a, cording to the age Of the tree-tree | years otd, pounds; 10 years old 10 pounds. If the trees are 20 feet apart or more, and the soil be very poor, greater quan. tity may be used to good advantage The fer. tilizer may be applied at any time before a rain or irrigating. Price, s36 per ton.

Tree-Work of Repair.
 Major J. w. Evans returned last night from the head of the Arizona canal, where he had been to inspect the break in the dam. It was found that very large cottonwood tree had been damned against the dam and caused a break in the top part, the foundation not being effected ct all.
 The damages are comparatively light and can be repaired within a week. In fact the Major states that full head of water will be running week from to- day. There are 1000 inches running now, and the amount will be increased by Tuesday, and by next Saturday, with the present working force of 100 men, a fnll head can be turned down. The re- ports that large portion of the dam had been carried away are untrue, and the farmers have no grounds for alarm.

The Bible on Wall CoatInq.."

And behold If the plague be in the walls
OF the house with hollow streaks, greenish
or reddish, then the priest shall 90 out OF the
house TO the door Of the house and shut up
the house seven days. 80 . And he shalt
cause the house to be scraped within round
about, and they shall pour out the dust that
they scrape of without the city into an un-
clean place"
This matter Of looking to the sanitary ma
ture of wall coatings seems to be considered
Of much Importance Of late. A supplement
to the Michigan State Board Of Health con-
demns wall paper and kalsomine for walls,
and recommends Alabastinc a. being sanl-
tary, pure, porous permanent economical
and beautiful.
To each OF the first Ave persons in every
city and town, who write the Alabastine
Company Of Grand Rapids, Michigan, CIV
ing the chapter containing the above pass
ago Of scripture will be sent an order on the
Alabastine dealer in tho town for u package
OF Alabastine, enough to cover fifty square
yards of wall two coats, tinted or white.
To test wall coating, take small guam
tity OF il, mix in equal quantity Of boiling
water, and II 1t does not set when left in
the dish over night, and finally form stone
like cement, without shrinking, it is kalso-
mine, and dependent upon glue to hold it tc
the wall, the feature so strongly objected tc
by sanitarians.
Continuing this sanitary wall-coating re-
form the Tribune offices have been nicely
decorated with Alabastine. The effect /.
pleasing, and the rooms are very sweet and

that they are able 70 carry back at the
end of the years work 240 francs

good pay. In the north of France
Belgian laborers flock over the border
from the middle Of Jily to the first of
September in great numbers. They
are described as sober, frugal, seldom
seen In the wine-shops. and lodging
on the farms where thew work. In
one small commune of 1909 inhabii-
ants in the Department of the Nord

Belgian laborers in one harvest be-
cause French laborcrs could not be OBJ

The "Wilna Catcchism,' an official
textbook in Russian schools, contains
this passage: "Question-Wbat do
we owe the Gar? Answer-Divine
reverence, obedience, payment Of
taxes, military service, love, prayer;
long suffering, perfect aud unlimited
obedience In every respect, and the
most careful execution, without ques-
ton or examination, of all his CON-
mands. Question-By whose ex-
amples are these teachings enforced?
Answer-By the example of Jesus
Christ, who lived and died as subject
of the Roman emperor, and submitted
respectfully TO the ukase that con-
demned him TO death. We have also
the examples of the Apostles, who
loved the magistrates, bore patiently
imprisonment according to the En-
peror's will, aud did not rebel like
cvildocrs aud traitors. We must fol-
low their example aud endure all in
silence"

According to the New York Sun, On.

According to the New York Sun, the
late Frank Ives Frayne, of the blood
and-thunder drama, had O wonderful
knack III managing the animals that ap-
peared on the stage with him. TO in-
auirers who wondered how he did II
hc always replied inat the secret lay in
his GOODNESS in time Of danger and in
his presence of mind. He called IL
'merve." But there was something
else in Frayne, besides nerve. Ills
animals were always in his thoughts,
and while he ruled them with rod of
iron they obeyed him because he i'll
stinctiveiy knew when to be hard aud
when TO be gentle. In summer. on his
farm near Madison, N. j., he had
MANY of his wild animals tied to the
posts of the board fence. Amy pleas
ant day Frayne might be seen walking
along the fence petting or feeding two
or three bears, some monkeys and
hyenas, and other members of his
curious happy family strung at inter-
walls in front of the house. Frayne
was very proud of Old Duke, or Bob
Ingersoll. as his stage name went, the
lion that killed his Clydesdale stallion
four years ago. ltwas Frayne's habit
to carry in his pocket pictures of Old
Duke, which he gave TO friends at the
conclusion of II story how Old Duke
had killed three men at one blow each
with his paw. The story was founded
ON fact. Frayne had photographs also
of Old Duke lying down with ban
tam hen perching on his name. The
hen and lion were friends for several
years. No one but Frayne had eve,
been able to conquer Old Duke.
