was bending the tall form of the girl
Ustane who was washing a deep spear
wound in his side with water preparatory
to binding it up with linen. Leaning

LAND BILL REPORTED IN THE HOUSE

LAND BILL REPORTED IN THE HOUSE.
Representative Hall Of Minnesota re-
ported TO the house a bill amending the
existing law regarding public lands. Pro-
vision is made whereby settlers in town
ships not mineral or reserved by the gov
eminent or persons and associations Ia W.
fully possessed OF coal lands or owners or
grantees Of public lands shall have the
right TO have such lands surveyed under
certain conditions. This feature of the
bill has in view the enlargement OF the
facilities contained In the coal land laws
by permitting such lands to be surveyed
as can now be done in the case of agricul-
tural lands required for actual settle
ment. The discoverer Of a valuable de-
posit Of coal upon the unsurveyed public
domain may now take possession of and
hold his mine, yet there is no provision
Of law under which patent can issue
therefor until the public surveys have
been so extended as TO embrace it. An
other feature of the bill provides that
when settlers or owners or grantees Of
public lands make deposits In payment
Of the cost Of surveys certificates shall be
issued therefor and these may be used in
part payment for the lands settled upon.

Cabbage and Its Diseases.

The most prevalent diseases OF cab
bave in TIN. state are the white mIdew
caused by the parasitic fungus Pero-
npspora para silica, stem rot caused by
the funguoe,>tepu> rAEdi4u, and Club
loot or Zig root caused b; the fungus
Ihosmoiophora brt -sicI. The first Is
the mot conlnOn ami destructive.
AS to remedies the most economical
and satisfactory one for the lower and
middle districts i 10 refrain from
planting summer cabbage. The cab
bage plant IS Il nativ,, of L colder cline
than ours and cannot stand the heat Of
our summers. The early varieties Of
cabbage such as J.ssev. Wakefield,
Express. etc, NAV be transplant3d TO
the field during November, December
and January and w~ill.reluain free from
disease and give a good crop before hot
weather begins. Late cabbage OF the
