that the individuals OF the various

dissatisfied. but they recently ac-

standing by their agreement with the

a European scientist, after much pains
taking and exhaustive study. has dis
covered that the trouble is due to the
presence of a low form of slime fungus
in the affected parts, causing them to
become swollen and distorted.
Upon the decay OF the part affected,
the spores of the fungus scatter
throughout the soil, which is apt to
become imprcgnatcd with the germs
during the growth of n crop suscepti-
BILE to the disease. As the affected
parts of the plant are below ground,
and not to be readily reached by any
fungicide. Il judiciouS rotation of crops
is a wise %precaution. Cabbage kale,
Brussels sprouts, kohlrabi, turnips OF
radishes should not follow one another
if club root is prevalent.
II the crop is diseased all refuse at
harvest time of roots, stems and leavcS
should be examined, and only healthy
plants used. The land should be kept
free from weeds, many of which are

In some ways it is easier to be poor
in the city thanin the country, because
the former has so many cheap treats at
hand. On the other side, it is much
easier to be ambitious, envious and dis
~contentedly ~extravagant in the city,
because so wide a gulf separates rich
and poor. In country life (which in
cludes that of villagesa and small towns)
the well-to-do live very much as do
those with half their income. There
is a wide level that means only the
middle class in urban life. Few, COM
paratively, fall below it or rise above
it in bucolic neighborhoods. Comforts
are common, but expensive elegancies
are deemed eAtravaFant by most of the
country rich. There is little of that
sharp distinction, for example, exist
ing in towns between those who do and
who not keep 4 carriage."-Philadel

Colorado, in the pursuit of our chosen
profession.
How well | remember that night.
The rough miners sat and smoked their
short Guilty pipes in stnlid, speechless
content; their wild unkenpt boards
and great arms. from which the red
flannel shirt sleeves had bcen rolled
back, making them look like Il species
of grotesque giant in the pickering fire
light.
Those of us who formed a little group
BY ourselves, with the superintendent
of the mine for our center, laughed and
talked gayly to while away the long,
tedious. evening hours. Each one con-
sidcred it his duty. from time to time,
to add his mite TO the general merry
making. and would relate some anus
Ing or thrilling anecdote. All except
one: for my companion, Amasa Wealth
erlec, sat gloomily and silently with
his arms folded and his eyes fixed on
the fire. Now. Amasa was usually the
gayest of the gay, and there was not a
man at Silver Lock camp who could
tell a better story than he. lie was a
handsome fellow, of noble physique
and of a healthy, sunny aspect in gen
eral. The curly hair, that had grown
long in the wilderness and lay loosely
on his flannel shirt collar. was golden
in hue, and his cheeks dimpled like a
girls when he smiled.
We had rallied Amasa several times
on his unusual silence, when finally he
raised his head and spoke:
We'll, friends, | suppose | must con-
tribute my share to the evenings en-
tertainment. So l am going to tell you
4 curious story:
Years ago, when was q little child,

At dayhrcak the next morning. the
search party went out to discover the
whereabouts of the Indians in our
vicinity, but the men came back and re-
ported that they found no trace of the
savages.
At noon, Amasa, evidently anxious to
show that he had overcome his weak

The seats of the car were filled and
a number of passengers were standing
up as the driver encouraged his tired
horses To push their uneven way along
Van Buren, street. Awell-dressed man of
middle age with n weary look upon
his striking face east his eyes about,
and when they fell upon an elderly
oman carrying a large bundle he
arose slowly and stretched his arm for
ward to touch her shoulder. A spruce
appearing damsel scarcely ont of her
teens, one of the sort who looks ont
for No. / under all conditions, had an
observant eye for the mans move
ments and quickly stole forward with
the full mental purpose of stealing a
march on the old lady. But the mid
dle-aged man had not passed through
life without some study of youthful
feminine ann on street cars, and
when she brought up in n sitting pos
ture it was plump upon his knees. The
shock was so grca: that she was pro-
jected so far forward before her rccov-
cry that the old lady was comfortably
resting in the designated place, while
the middle-aged man said, audibly:

The club root Of the cabbage and

known in Europe for more than a cen
fury. 1t has prevailed in this country
for many years, and while the west
and south have suffered to some extent,
it is in the east that the most injury
has been done. During 1898 it was so
very destructive in the truck regions

that the New Jersey station has de-
