THE CITY ESTIMATES FOR 1898.

From a compilation Of the estimates
/, for the various departments Of the city
Movement, ia another column, it
ppears that a total in excess Of half
million dollars is asked for this year.
Nhe revenues Of the city will
hardly exceed four hundred thou
sand dollars, and will probably
fan considerably under that sum.
The problem thus set before the Coun-
cil Committee on Finance requires q
scaling down Of the estimates to the
tune OF something like one hundred
and ten or one hundred and twenty
thousand dollars. II as moderate a
sum as twenty thousand dollars out Of
the general fund is to 90 for street
work, instead of the one hundred and
seven thousand dollars asked for, the de-
partment estimates outside of water and
gas must be trimmed down about thirty
Ave thousand dollars; and even II not a
dollar is put into the streets, outside Of
the Boards ten cent levy and contin-
! gent funds, considerable reductions in

These reductions tbe people

NITRATE OF SODA AND CEREALS.
The True Theory and Safe Rule for Apply

The True Theory and Safe Rule for Apply
Ing n Valuable Fertilizer ON Grain Crops.
Following the principle of obtaining
the greatest amount of anything for the
ieast cost, nitrate of soda IS of the great.
est use to farmers for their cereal crops,
afllrms correspondent Of American Gull
tivator. 1t gives very unsatisfactory re-
suits, however, unless properly used, If
applied in the spring in large quantities,
1t naturally stimulates the growth of the
straw, so that the grain does not have
much chance to develop. The nitrate of
soda applied when the straw is growing
produces very luxuriant growths, and
another application given when the grain
Is forming stimulates this part of the
plants in the same way. If used for
wheat, about one-quarter of the amount
to be applied should be used in the fall
This gives the plants good start, and
during excessively dry falls it makes the
grain endure the drought better.
One-half of the remainder Of the nj
trates should then be applied in the spring,
when the vegetation begins to start up
and grow. This will give 1t good be-
ginning and make the straw grow strong
and rapidly. But to avoid too luxuriant
growth the remainder of the nitrate must
be spread over the fields just before
blossoms appear. The grain is begin
ming to form heads then, and the nitrate
will help forward the process. The true
theory and rule for using the nitrate OF
soda on the cereal crops is never to lei
the soil be lacking in potash and phos.
phoric acid. These should be in abun'
dance In the soil, and then the nitrate will
give results for all cereals that cannot
be surpassed by any other fertilizing
material

The American Folklore society charges
that college students who serve as wait
ers at Maine summer resort hotels are
trying to supply the demand for Indian
legends connected with each rock, Hill
and stream by manufacturing them,
making the legend fit the name instead
Of the name fit the legend, and proposes
to see what can be done aboutit. But
college students should not be charged
with monopoly Of this business, even if
they are guilty at all. It was long before
the days Of student walters that the alb
surd story of the derivation of monhegan,
from the pigeon English, "man-he-gone,"
instead of from the real Indian words,
"menahan," an island, and "kigan,"
land in the great sea, was circulated,
and the other equally ridiculous attempt
to translate mooselucmeguntic into
"moose-he-look-my- gun-tick."
At the meeting Of the Folklore society,
where the charge against the students
was made, enc speaker noted that Beaver
island in Maine was 80 called because a
beaver crawled out of lake on that is

A pathetic heroism was that shown by
u woman, devoted wife and mother
whose life, after months of invalidism,
went out in this first month of the new

self and husband to redecorate the home
about the time her illness declared itself,
and when last autumn it became evident
that not much more time among the
things of this world would be accorded
to the sufferer she decided that the work
should be carried forward under her su-
pervision Her illness was of nature to
permit her to be up and about few
hours every day, and during these strong
er moments artists and decorators con
suited with her, carrying out her wishes
in every detail.
From garnet to cellar the home was
gone over, and the family spent their last
united Christmas in their beautifully rem
ovated home you will be glad by and

whose artistic soul must have painfully

husband and sons and daughters, who

the fact that it will be good thing ap-

view likewise of another fact not set forth
in the treaty, which is that if we do not
take pos ,on of the islands some Euro
pean POI. na apt to do so in less
than two years, the president of the
United States, the secretary of state and
the commission of high plenipotentiary
Observation-Disclosures, headed by Mr..
Lorrin A. Thurston, prepared and sent
to the senate treaty providing for the
annexation of Liliuokalanis kingdom
The provision of $4,000 a year during
her lifetime ought to satisfy her. She
can be rid forever of trying to rule peo-
pie who will not obey her and contine
herself to ruling henceforth a private
household of hirelings whom she can
make obey her. 1t will undoubtedly be
a great pleasure to Lii to be a supreme
boss.
The charge of few American papers
that the Hawaiian revolution was pre-
cipitated by the sugar planters of Ha-
wall to get the government bounty il
met by the fact that no sugar bounty
is asked for by the annexation com
missioners at present. The treaty
merely continues the provisional gov
eminent until congress can decide on
a permanent one, reserying, however, a
veto power by the president on its acts.
The secretary of state calls attention to
one noteworthy fact, which is that at
present there exists no United States
law whereby the president can provide
an organized government for territory
annexed to the Union. We have not an

THE LEAVING OF MONEY.

Why Jay Gould Was Justified in Bequeath-
Ing His Fortune He Did.
Jay Gould left his great estate to his
children, as might reasonably have been
expected of him. When men accumu-
late money, much or little. it is natural
that they should hand it down to THEN
children, if they have them, and gener-
ally the public sentiment commends
them for so doing The feeling that a
man should rightfully look first after
his own household prevails among liz
people.
When the estate is as vast rs Mr.
Gould's, however. some newspapers ntt.i
ordinations of surprise AMI protest ia
some of it is not bequeathed for public
purposes or for organized charities. They
seem to proceed on the assumption that
the man is bound to take away from his
children money which lie himself would
not give mp during his life. In Other
words, they would require him to force
his children to make benefaciions which
he himself had not made.

In the Same Chair.

In the years of his highest reputation
Daniel Webster was favored with a do
gree Of personal adulation and ''toady-
ing" which was not altogether agreeable
to him. It is related that on one occa-
sion when public reception was given
to him at hotel in Boston particularly
obsequious old Office seeker was intro
duced. The man fattered Webster and
ground his own ak, bowling and scraping
until the great man was tired Of him,
and bidding him good day settled down
heavily into the nearest chair. But the
man, instead of passing on and giving a
chance to the next conner, fingered near
and seemed to have something still on
his mind, though he looked very blissful.
Webster observed this and said not
very good naturally, MAY ask you,
sir, if you want anything more of meY'
"Oh-oh, nor said the man, smirking.
"Only perhaps may be permitted to re-
mark that 1 am proud to say that my hat

Alexander HIS Courage.

The car has been frequently accused
of cowardice--an Indictment to which,
it must be admitted, many undeniable
facts lend strong coloring of probable
ity. Thus it has been alleged in support
of the charge that he seldom drives about

a body of Cossacks is invariably accom-

for considerable period he hid himself

Again, the sight of the armies that
guard the railway lines along which he
happens to be travelling, the elaborate
system of espionage, and the practice OF
employing agents provocateurs, who
sometimes organize the crime which they
discover, have contributed to impart con
sistency to charge which his creditable
career as an officer should have amply
sufficed to refute. contemporary Re
