The Commissioner of Internal
Revenue reports that there seems to
be no great increase in the registra-
tion of Chinese. Assistant Secretary
Spaulding of the Treasury was asked
by newspaper correspondent
whether an attempt would be made
Immediately after May ) to arrest
Chinese in any great numbers and
deport them to China. Mr. Spauld-
ing stated positively that that would
not be the policy of the department.
There will be no wholesale ar
rests, said he. There will be one
or two arrests made for the purpose
of furnishing a test case before the
United States Supreme Court, which
is expected to hear the arguments as
soon as possible after May 5. Chief
Justice Fuller has said that he eX-
pected that a test case would be
made and tried before the adjourn
ment of the court. The usual time
for the adjournment is about the
middle of May. He said, however,
that Solicitor General Aldrich, who
will represent the Government and
contend for the constitutionality OF
the exclusion act. would be better
able to say definitely about the time
the test case would be brought be-
fore the court
Solicitor G eneral Aldrich being
seen, said that it was his under
standing that arrests of Chinese
would be made in New York on May
6, and the case would come up in the
Supreme Court on the 8th or 9th.
He did not anticipate that the argu-
ments would consume more than a
day or two. He said that he would
represent the Government to the
best of his ability, and Messrs.
Choate and Evarts of New York
would appear for the Chinese. The
decision of the court is expected to
be handed down on the Monday fol
lowing, which will be May 10.
Assistant Secretary Spaulding
said that of course if the exclusion
act be decided unconstitutional by
the highest court in the land the
Treasury Department would have
nothing further to do with the Chi
nese already legally residing in this
country, although the same precau-
tions would still be taken to prevent
! illegal entries.

An interesting series of expert
ments in handwriting has been car
ried ON recently by Professor Ed
ward II. Shaw of the School of Pcda-
CORY, the results of which will be
placed in the exhibit of the university
at the Worlds Fair. Experiments
were instituted by Professor Shaw
to ascertain whether the natural ten
dency of pupils with paper placed di-
rectly in front of the desks in the or
dinary school slope and eyes closed
is not toward more vertical lines
than those taught in the systems at
present in vogue From the work
of more than 1900 persons the pro
fessor demonstrated the correctness
of his theory, the average difference
having proved somewhat more than
twelve degrees. The majority of the
desks in use in schoolrooms were
shown to be improper in construction
and unfavorable to the teaching of a
desirable method of writing Tests
will be continued for some time.

Before leaving Washington Presi-
dent Cleveland practically set at rest
the rumors that he would call an
early extra session of Congress to
consider the financial situation.
During a conversation with Cleve-
land, Representative Kilgore in
quired regarding the intentions OF
the President as to an extra session.
Kilgore explained that he wished to
bring his family to Washington be-
fore the opening of the session and
for that reason was anxious to learn
what would probably be done IN or
der that he might make his plans ac-
cordingly,
In effect the reply of the President
was that he would not call an extra
session until September, unless un
forseen circumstances, which are not
now anticipated, made such course
necessary. He stated that a call
would be made for the assembling OF
Congress between the 1st and 18th
of September.

Farm Notes.
IMPROVEMENT OF HORSES.
Steam and Electricity VIII More and More
Drive out the Horse,

Drive out the Horse.
The sooner the farmers in the
United States realize the fact that
the ordinary and commonly bred
horse is likely to deteriorate in value
year by year the better it will be for
them. The use of cables to drag
street ears has already reduced the
service performed by horses in tie
cities and the extension of the troll
ley system in the suburbs and the
perfection of electric motors will re-
lieve many other thousand of horses
from such service. 1t has not been
so very long since nearly all the
threshing was done by horses; now
only very small percentage of even
the threshing- machines are worked
by horse power. Practically all of
the ploughing is now done by horses;
but cheap and practical steam
plough will be shown to visitors to
the Worlds Fair, and it is not i'm
probable that in ten years from now
quite large percentage of ploughing
will be done without the aid of
horses.
The need in the cities and on the
farms for fewer horses will tend more
and more to reduce their market
value. Commonly bred horses will
be the first to deteriorate in price;
indeed, it is doubtful whether finely
bred horses will suffer at all There
is no reason why they should. The
purposes for which they are used
will not be affected by any inven-
tions revolutionizing methods of
transportation or tillage
Even though we could fly in the
air with a balloon entirely under
control, spin on the road behind a
pair of trotters or gallop across
country would give just as much
pleasure as ever it gave The horses
who get the blue ribbons in the horse
shows will continue to be as valuable
as ever, while humber animals
those that drag treet cars and
ploughs-will be less valuable year
by year.-Harpers Weekly.

Hogs.

Make friends with the sows, so
that you can go into the pen at any
time without disturbing them; this
is an important item in pig growing.
Remember that producing pork
for profit is not merely a game of
chance, but strickly business
American Breeder.
Raising hogs for market is not the
pleasantest work imaginable, nor is
a pig pen the daintiest of pens to
work with, but the farmer who has
made his living by this kind of pen
for few years past, finds himself
financially far ahead OF his neighbor
who hates to work with hogs and
clings to small grains. s.-Cor. Mime

A dispatch from Berlin gives: a
story revealing the shady side of
Russian finance: 1t states that a
former Russian Finance Minister,
NJ Bunge, intended to issue paper
rubles to the amount of 300, 600, 600
at the time of the Russo-Turkish
war, but the money was not needed.
Therefore, the notes were ordered to
be DESTROYED in patches. Meanwhile
M. Vishnegradsky came into office
and allowed an announcement of the
destruction of the notes to be pub
lished, although notes for 80, 600, O0O
rubies were still in hand. The Gov
ernment has now decided secretly to
place them in circulation in behalf oi
the new Siberian Railway, and thus
get 1000, 900 rubles, for which il
will not have to account in the bud
get.

STRAWBERRIES,
What They Shall Fat and What They
Shall Drink and How to Plant.

WnaJ Iney SLalI Eat and What Ihey
Shall Drink and How to Plant.
Good soil, deep ploughing, thor
ough culture and liberal feeding
make the strawberry plant laugh
and grow fat, they are very thirsty
at fruiting time but don't like beer;
simply "stand there speechless' cry
ing water, water, and it will pay to
give it to them in some way if you
are after the most and largest ber-
ries. Well-rotted stable manure is
good fertilizer, but fine ground bone
and wood ashes are better. Early
spring is the best time to plant, but
it may be done most any month of
the year that the ground is free from
frost; narrow rows, three feet apart,
will give more and better fruit than
thickly matted rows or solid beds.
Many make the mistake of allow
ing too many runners to take root,
overcrowding never pays.
Careless planting often results in
stunted growth of plants early in
the season that it is impossible to
remedy later. In any but stiff clay
soil, if it has been properly prepared
man crawling along on his hands
and knees can, with one hand, scoop
out hole three or four inches deep,
and, with the fingers of the other
hand, spread out the roots of the
plant, place in position, and rapidly
cover it with earth with both hands;
then, as he makes jump forward
for the next plant, bring nearly the
whole weight of his body down on
his hands, close up above the newly
set plant, and it is well planted

that it will take at least two months
