The late Rose Terry Cooke had an anus

al attempt to figure as a philanthropist.
Shs became much interested in the condi-
tion OF the factory operatives in her Win

subject of their inconvenient, uncomforta-

she built a number of model cottages and

The larger part of the city is uninhabit-
able by Europeans on account Of filth,
especially during the dry season. The
tide sets back far enough to make the
river Menam brackish, and 1t is sluggish
at all times, and for months together
rotting carcasses and vegetation almost
choke tho current. The water is like
pea soup in looks. Powdered alum is
used to clear it, but oven when it looks
clear as mountain spring water it is often
deadly to Europeans.
The natives drink it without clearing,
and when a cholera season comes they
die by tens of thousands. All the car
rion birds OF the vicinity flock to tho
city, but cannot devour the corpses that
are tumbled out on the plain. Many
times, says an authority, over q third OF
the people have died in q summer-say,
15O, 900 or 200, 000-but they await their
fate with the helpless apathy Of Asiatics

and all goes on as before.
Siam contains about 800, 900 square
miles, and intelligent explorers have
pronounced it the richest section of earth
by nature. The valleys may be called
excessively fertile, and in the hills are
timber and medicinal plants of immense
value. Probably no other equal area in
the world contains SO great a variety of
plants and animals, including reptiles,
and the animals are usually the largest
and most vigorous Of their species. The
common elephant of Siam is not equaled
in any other country, but the SO called
white elephant is smaller. There are
also deer, musk oxen, wild cattle Of ev-
cry kind, wild hogs, every variety Of
apes and monkeys, birds Of almost ev-
cry known species and of the most bril-
liant plumage, and reptiles in scores Of
species from the largest crocodiles to
the little green lizard.
A list of the valuable plants would al
most fill this column, and there are also
rich lodes of various metals. Fol many
years Siamese jealousy kept out all who
would develop these riches, but King
Khoulaloukorn I, who came to the throne
in 1868, has encouraged the introduction
Of European methods.

Two British soldiers, comrades, while
talking over the chances of war on the eve
of a battle agreed that whichever of them
survived the other should inherit all his
possessions. To insure the carrying out Of
their agreement they made their wills. AS
paper and pens were not at hand, they
scratched their last will and testament"
on a horn lantern with a rusty nail.
The battle was fought, and one of the
comrades was killed. The other man in
course of time returned to England, carry

took it to Doctors commons, where it was
proved and allowed.

Some additional evidence is reported
in the foreign journals of the success OF
the -method announced awhile ago for
preserving steam boilers against pitting
and general corrosion This is accom-
plished by fixing electrodes in the boil
ers and sending periodically currents Of
electricity through them, under definite
conditions, adjusted and controlled by
automatic action. When the current is
passing from the anodes suspended in
the boiler to the Shell, hydrogen is lib
Grated on the shell and tubes, and oxy-
gen ON the anodes. Then, by means of
the depolarizing apparatus, the action
is changed most of this hydrogen and
oxygen lecombining. with the result
that, during the first period, the hydro
gen performs two distinct functions
first, it disintegrates mechanically, by
its volume, the scale formed 6n the shell
and tubes. and second. some of the by
drogcn combining chemically with the
oxygen of the oxide of iron on the shell

Information Concerning Beans.

answers sent by several beangrowers of
note to the Rural New Yorker: /. A

drills is % inches, and seed is dropped six
inches to foot in the rows. B. Sheffield S
Early White is good variety. 4. Red
Kidneys are fancy beans usually sent to
special markets in South America. The
demand is limited, and they do not
yield so well as the white beans.
8. Most growers use the common
one and two horse cultivators, and are
careful not to hill up the beans. 8. Some
growers use weeder successfully, but ii
is not necessary except in very weedy
fields. The beans should not be cult

liable to rust them. :. A good beancut-

Duke Alfred who desired to sell the

The Way Truckmen Force Lettuce, Rad

A good deal of the lettuce that comes
into the markets during the winter
months is now grown lay truckmen in
low greenhouses. not unlike those the
florists use to grow flowers in OF
course this comes into competition all
the time with that grown out of doors
farther SOUTH but the freshness of the
home grown, along with the simplified
ways OF taking several crops off the
ground during one winter, leaves fair
profit, sometimes II big one, in spite of
expensive houses and the necessary heat
ing to keep the houses up to 60 degrees
in the north. Of course just rs fast as
one crop can be cut-and the whole is
cut at one time as far as may bc-there
is young stock of well grown plants to
take their place, and this is kept up
from November until February or
March. when the same houses are used
for early cucnmbers Another feature
about this winter lettuce il that the
leaves are so young and sncculent that
whenever large enough they ne fit to
cut without any healing ill., and may
be set not farther than four inches each
way.
Other crops grown are radlshes with
fair profit Prairie Farmer, authority
for the foregoing, explains: Underneath
the benches of these houses one grower
at least manages To e. ii crop of water
cress, place suitable having been pro
vided so that water can tricltlc all the
time among the cress. Where the
height of the table or bench will allow.
crops of mushrooms, that pay well ut
even 30 cents per pound, can be grown,
some getting nearly double that for part
of the crop. OF course the same place
will answer to force rhubarb along III
the dead of winter. Indeed the idea in
these expensive appliances is to make
every foot tell, aud any crop that will
turn in dollar is grown.
A Massachusetts gardener gives the
following as his method of growing Gu
cumbers IN his holise of forced veg"-
tables: The plants are set two ina hill,
and finally thiniiod to one. The hills
are two feet apart. About three cords
of horse manure are placed in four
trenches, Il. feet deep by foot
wide. running the length of a house 1914
feet long. The manure is covered with
about seven inches of soil Cucumbcrs
are picked in 10 days from the sowing
of the seed. His forcing house is %
by 1914 feet Each year he raises
therein two crops of lettuce, one crop of
cucumbers and one crop of French
breakfast radishes grown with cucum
bers The following are the approx
mate crops: Lettuce, 700 dozens each
crop; cucumbers 5000; radishes, ), 600

raised from selected seed are so started

1t may be laid down as safe gen
eral rule that any and every agree
ment made between China and Rus
STA must be detrimental to the inter.
ests of China for the simple reason
that Russia always knows precisely
what she is driving at, while China
has never yet apprehended the true
purport of any convention she has
made with foreign power, and usu
ally discovers too late that her conf
dence in the magic power of phrases
has been misplaced
This is especially true of the trea
ties and protocols she has made with
Russia during the past generation.
They have been SO many steps in the
Russian advance, and such they are
likely to continue. -Blackwood's Mag

though it is disinfected upon arrival in
France it often carries the germs of
