The phenomena of the Mind.

They were talking about the phenomena
of the mind. The tall man remarked how
curious 1t was that man could not do one
thing and think of another. The short man
said that he had read of people who could
write two words at the same time, and the
thin man added that great many people
could do one thing and think of another.
But thetall man answered that these things
were all special cases and exceptions and
reiterated the statement that 1t was curious,
etc. Just then the quiet young woman in
the corner suggested that she didn't con-
slider 1t curious at all. you can't do it,"
said the tall man.
"Oh, yes" said the quiet young woman.

New ATLANTIC Gable.

LoNDoN.-The steamer Faraday has
left here with portion OF the new cable
of the Commercial Cable Company,
which is to be laid from Waterville on
Ballingsked Bay, coast of Ireland, to
Nova Scotia. The Faraday is not large
enough to stow the entire cable, which
will be about 1000 miles long, and the
process OF laying it will include the drop
ping of about 400 miles of cable on this
side Of the Atlantic, then the placing OF
another 100 miles on the other side and
finally the splicing of both portions with
the main part. The new cable was made
by Siemans Bros. & Co. (limited) of Lon
don. The Siemans have guaranteed the
Commercial Cable Company that this
one will afford 1915 per cent improve
ment in speed over any cable the COM
pany now has in use. This means that

War In BalmY Isles.

AUcKLAND.-Advices from Samoa un-
der date OF March 2S say that since early
in March there has been bloody conten-
tion between rival native tribes, and al
ready over thirty natives have been
killed and fifty cruelty manned. 1t had
been hoped that there might be a peace
ful settlement Of the intertribal differ
ences, and it was with that end in view
that the warning factions submitted their
chiefs to a trial before Chief-Justice Ide.
This peaceful method, however, came to
naught. The 10th instant the two fac
tions came together in actual warfare.
On that day a detachment from the Aana
or rebel party ambushed number Of
natives of Faasaleaga, Salvaii, who are
understood to be supporters of the gov
ernment. Several were killed. News
OF the outbreak was received here dur
ing the progress OF consultation be-
tween the President, Chief Justice and
Consular representatives.

Setting "a Hen.


Select the finest fowls for breeding
Avoid those showing the slightest trace
OF sickness or the effects of disease. Eggs
from fat hens, molting hens, immature
pullets or hens in yard with a cock
having frosted comb will not give good
results. Fowls having a strong, bright
eye and active are most desirable. Chicks
from two-year-old fowls grow faster, ma.
ture earlier and feather more rapidly
than those from younger stock. II pull
lets are to be bred from, they should be
mated to a mature cock.
Begin to set hens as early in the sea-
son as possible. The evening is the best
time. Do not be in too great haste in
giving her eggs. Try her first with q few
eggs to see if she is content in her new
quarters. Whatever receptacle is used
for the nest, it should be painted with
tar or thoroughly soaked with kerosene.
Have the nest fiat on the ground if pos
sible; if not, place sod or layer OF
soil three or four inches deep in the box.
Sprinkle wood ashes or air. Stacked lime
over this, and put in clean, fresh straw
or hay. Dust the hen and nest thor
oughly with fresh insect powder. Ver-
min multiply with great rapidity under
a setting hen, and the warfare against
them must commence in the start.
If possible, the setting hens should
have room to themselves while setting
The time hen should be allowed to be
absent from the nest varies somewhat,
according to the weather. II very cold,
aquarter of an hour is sufficient, but in
the summer half an hour is not too long.
Provide a dust box well supplied with
hard coal ashes and dirt. Give fresh
food and water every day.

FOR THE FARMER.
Finest Fowls Necessary for
Breeding Purposes.
RAISING SMALL.GRAIN CROPS.

Is There Not Danger of Making the
Land Too Rich for Their Successful
Growth Farm Notes.
Farmers who grow grain crops often
speak OF the danger of making land too
rich in nitrogenous fertility for the sue
cessful growth of small grains. If land
is SO highly fertilized that it causes the
grain to fall down and not fill, they can
do better with some other crop. Corn
and potatoes give larger profits, and for
these no amount of fertility that can be
put into soil is too much. Even for the
small grains the results of too rich land
are mainly due to having fertility not
properly balanced and especially to hav-
ing an excess of it Just as the grain is
heading and filling, explains American
Cultivator, authority for the following !:
Land can be pretty rich and yet bring
all the better yields OF sound, plump
grain If the fertility is evenly distributed
through the year and has its due proper
tion of mineral plant food. Generally
speaking, land that has stored up fertii-
ity produces grain with good straw and
a plump berry. The injury comes from
the sudden increase of fertility by ap-
plications of large amounts OF stable
manure. These do not supply much nj
trogen until warm weather causes their
decay, and they are usually deficient in
potash and phosphate. When the ma
nure begins to ferment it gives off nitro
gen in disproportionate quantity, and
thus does injury rather than good.
Fertilizers for the small grains must
therefore be quick-acting, and where the
grain is sown very early in the spring
they ought to have small proportion OF
soluble nitrogen. If the grain has a
good start early in the season, it stores
up in leaf and stalk most of the mate
rials for making the grain. If there has
been early plentiful supply of plant
food, the grain crop will be all the better
for being somewhat pinched by crowding
and drouth just as it begins to make
head. The common way of growing
small grains insures the crowding and
pinching of growth at the time of ripen-
ing the grain.
There is always in summer great in
crease in the nitrogenous fertility of cul-
tivated soils that are in any way rich.
While this is injurious to small grain, it
is equally true that an increase Of nitro
gen early in the spring, while the plants
are small, will be benefit worth more
to the crop in many cases than its cost.

BRING THEM TO JUSTICE

The Evening World's' exposure OF
wholesale frauds in the procurement Of
naturalization papers by padrones and
their sale to aliens who nave been only
a few months and perhaps only a few
weeks IN the United States opens up n
series OF election frauds whose extent
and enormity can BE- rcely be conceived.
Where the law imposes long terms of
imprisonment on n man who corrupts
the purity of the ballot-box by a single
illegal vote, what ought to be the punish
voters by the thousand?
1t Is estimated that there are about
Ave thousand legally naturalized Italians
In the city. Yet there are twenty-five
thousand italian voters. This represents
the frauds at the wholesale figure of
twenty thousand.
The crime Is a double one. 1t Is
individual. The padrone supplies men to
the city departments as laborers. The
law says they must be citizens. So the
padrones and their accomplices manu-
facture them into citizens by forged and
fraudulent naturalization papers and
swindle them out of money for the SER
vice.
THE Evening World" has secured
proof of the truth Of Its charges. 1t has
once again unearthed and exposed crime.
Now let the authorities secure justice
and the punishment of the vilest crimi-
nails in the community.
