How to Kill Weeds,

Robert Maxwell of Arkland, Scotland,
says the Northwest Farmer, wrote 1874
years ago the following practical advice
on killing weeds: Concerning the in
field the more you dung it the more the
weeds will grow. 1t never will be other
wise till the seeds or the greater part of
them are killed, for they will grow the
more readily and vigorously the more
the ground be dunged. We know no
better way OF getting gu OF them than
by encouraging their seeds to vegetate
and then destroy them, as they will in
part dung the ground. Sure killing of
the weeds is the chief thing aimed at
harrow thoroughly Immediately after
every blowing. The fine mold will ex-
rlte their small seeds to grow; the
smaller it is made the better It will an
swer the purpose. Early in the spring
harrow fine to encourage more seeds OF
weeds to grow.

LANTERNS IN GERMANY.
They We're Formerly Used as Symbols @
Rank.


Rank.
The distinctions of rank which exist
in European countries give rise 70 many
troubles which, though they may seem
rather amusing as we'll as trivial
TO us, are in reality quite ser. rs to
the persons concerned in them. In
stuttgart, years ago, says an exchange,
there existed curious custom which
is not yet entirely abolished, and, in
fact, still hourishes quite vigorously in
some parts of Germany and Switzerland
This was the use of lanterns of different
varieties and sizes, by which, at night
the rank of the party could be ea silly dis
tinguished. .$s,e4sa
The lanterns were carried by the
servants who were sent to escort their
mistresses home from places of amuse-
ment, and they made the square in
front of the Royal Opera-Housc, where
most of the entertainments were then
given, quite picturesque with their
lights bobbing up and down in every
direction.
The differences between some Of these
lanterns were slight, but they had to be
strictly observed, or trouble arose. The
order of rank, as set forth in th frank
list" was something from which shey
could never swerve. Some had lanterns
If tin, some of brass; some lad wax
lights, and others tallow; even the num-
ber of lights was prescribed for each
separate class or rank.
An amusing story is told by Hack
ander of two Stuttgart women, whose
ifc-long friendship was nearly de-
troyed by the mistake of one of the
usbands, who bought at an auction a
intern which could only be used with
ropriety by people of the next higher
.nk.
The servant polished the offending
intern, and took it with her the very
'Ht night when she went to meet hel
stress ut tho close of an operatic on
rIainmcnt 1t was some time before
hr other woman, whose sense of thu
ruprieties OF life had been outraged
d who thought her old friend was en-
avoring to lay claim to rank abov,
10 one in which they both belonged
ould be appeased. Even after the ex
,lanation, the subject Of the lanterl
tas ALWAYS a sore one between them.

The enormous appetite of the giant
penguin (Which weighs about eighty

its restricted powers of flight, and in the

speed of its flight is approximately
known, and it is able to cover 1000

flying at the ratio of nearly seventy
miles an hour, it takes the bird two
days and nights to cross.

GETTING IN LINE.
The Fighters All Travelling Toward the
Observation-Disclosures Battle Ground.

The Fighters All Travelling Toward the
Fitzsimmons-Dempsey Battle Ground.
NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 6.-Jack McAuliffe, the
lightweight, reached here to-day. He will go
to Galveston tomorrow, where he will assist in
training Dempsey. He will stay there until the
light comes off, when he will act as Dempsey's
second. A fight between McAuliffe and Car
roll, whom he whipped once, is proposed,
and will be made if one of the clubs
ren, the lightweight, also arrived, and will
stay until after the fight. The promised
appearance of Meyer in a few days will CON-
plete very strong congregation of light
weights here and one or more matches are
evitable. The tickets for the fight are being
rapidly disposed of and 25 of the 40 boxes are
already sold. A telegram reached here to-day
saying that special train filled with sporting
men will leave San Francisco in time to get
here for the fight. A special car is also
promised from New York, Grand Rapids and
Birmingham. Ala, which latter town has ap-
piled for l60 tickets. Chicago. Louisville, Mil
waukee, Cincinnati, Indianapolis and st. Louis
are also expected to send large delegations.
1t is understood that Dempsey's Galveston
admirers will not give him a special benefit be-
lore his departure for New Orleans, but have
arranged for his reception there after the fight.
Some of his friends are little anxious over
the dement,, at which il is said he will spar, and
advise him to be very careful and take no
chances of getting hurt. The story that Fitz-
simmons went over to Galveston and witnessed
the Upham-Pitzlin fight is still believed by
many. He certainly proposed doing so, and
was absent from his quarters three days, but is
back there again and at work. The amphi-
theater of the Olympic Club has been enlarged
TO III by 125 feet, and will seat 500 people The
press Will be accommodated between the ring
ropes and the wire fence which surrounds the
ring.
Inc whole amphitheater will be covered with
framework, over which tarpaulins may be
spread Several large electric lights will be
hung, and to overcome any accident additional
,a1n.-~ L..
are three entrances to the ring side two on
Chartress street, which will be used for the
general admission, and the entrance through
reserved seat holders. The carpenters have
hurried along with the work of enlarging and
improving, and it is thought that the work will
be completed by Wednesday. The betting in
the fight is as yet comparatively light, and
slightly in Dempsey's favor

A Local Man Wants 10 Wrestle ANY
Aspirant in the World for the
Lightweight Title.
Mr.. LUTTBEG CALLED TO ACCOUNT.
Ed Reilly Prepared to Tackle Any Light
weight Man in the United States
for Big Stake.
PUGILISTS CENTERING AT NEW ORLEANS
More Argument for Sprint Handssp-Gsnsrs Sporting
News Of the Day.

There has been considerable talk of late
about who is the lightweight champion
catch-as-catch-can wrestler of America. For
Some weeks past there has been a forfeit at
this Office on behalf of Edward Reilly, of
the Twelfth ward, to wrestle any man in
America at 133 pounds. This challenge has
never been accepted, and, by all fair rules,
Reilly ought to be considered champion light
weight wrestler of the United States.
But some one, wrestler, comes to the front.
His name is Luttbeg. Reilly challenged Lutt-
beg three weeks ago to wrestle at lightweight
lSS for the championship. yet Luttbeg persists
in making engagements for the contest with the
understanding that he (Luttberg) is champion
lightweight catch-as-catcb-can wrestler in the
United States. Barney Jones has somewhat re-
sponded, and it may be stated here once for all
that nobody is lightweight champion wrestler
until he has downed Ed Reilly The latter is
out for a match irrespective of gate receipts
and, If a man can be produced to'defeat him at
1SS he will win lots of money.
There is this to say: Reilly has had a chal-
lenge before the public for a long time to
wrestle anybody in America at 1873 pounds.
This challenge has been widely known. Reilly,
