A BREAK FOR LIBERTY.
A CoI0red Man Attempts to Escape
the Station.

Col0red Man Attempts to Escape at
the Station.
E. Holmes, colored bootblack, has
an idea that he is a Splinter, and possi-
bly, he was several years ago but he has
grown so large and the Los Angeles po-
licemen have grown so swift of foot that
his idea ere this must seem crushed into
nothingness.
Holm 90 had occasion yesterday to dis
play his sprinting qualities. He was ar
rested by Officer Rico upon a warrant
for an assault upon Henry Keen, upon
whose toes Holmes threw a bucket from
O second story window.
He evinced no particular displeasure
at being taken to the station, but no
sooner had he entered in charge of the
officer tnan he watched for a chance to
flee for liberty. Officer Rico just began
searching the prisoner, and WAS about to
close the door, when Holmes made a
wild Jump and landed in the middle of
the sidewalk.
Officer Rico rushed out in time to see
the fugitive turn north on Spring street
from Second. A hot chase followed, in
which tine crowds of pedestrians took
deep interest.
Holmes was fast losing ground, and
attempted to elude the officer by bound
ing up the stairway at l24 South Spring
street and Officer Rico rushed up imme-
diately behind him, and pulling his re-
volver ordered Holmes to stop at once.
When he saw this weapon leveled at
him he halted with sudden jerk and
submitted to having the handouts
placed upon him.
The prisoner was afterward taken into
Justice Austin's court and fined $40 for
his assault upon Keen.

will repay q journey-but there I'm
stuck on mountain peaks, az the vul-
garians of our day are wont to speak.
Coming down the incline again our
passage ia made doubly safe by the ef.
forts of a fine old Eaglsh gentleman
who sits beside me in the compartment
OF the car. He grlpes the rail with all
the strength a. his command, and holds
Jack all the way down, never allowing
his weight to carry forward aud down
ward in the car. There are ladies and
children along and he fears for their
safety. How his veins bulged out when
we go over the brow OF the steepest
descent Suppose he had let go then.
Horrors! L shiver now to think of it.
But he didn't and we came down in
safety. Once on the way down he spoke
to me in voice that could see was
full of anguish at the thought of those
ladies and children being dashed to
smithereen5 on the naked rocks in the
gorge below. and asked il / thought the
worst was over. 1t was a trying mo-
ment for me. but /, too, thought
OF the dear ones, and told him
in firm voice that we hadn't
begun to strike the steep places
YET and asked him to just wait until we
hit the 2:20 grade, where the top hangs
out over little. You should have seen
him hold on then.
There has never been hold-up on the
road, though it passes through a wild,
uninhabited, mountainous region, just
the place for bandits.
One OF the strangest things about the
whole trip ia how perfectly safe the
great incline seems, after you get down
to the bottom and are having your pic
ture taken on the car by photographer
who has heard you would be there and
has gone way up in the cafion for the
purpose. And the ride back to Pasa-
dena, through the same beautiful groves
(that description in the ILLUSTRATED
HERALD is good for either way), is just
as tine treat as it was on the way up,
and the whole thing is grand.

PLACES FOR The SICK.

Los Angeles Has Some Excellent Hos
pItal Facilities.
Los Angeles, in the matter OF hospital
facilities, like her other public institu-
tions, is up with the needs of city OF
its size. The leading ones are the Sis
ters', st. Paul's and the Pacific san
itarium. The SISTERS is located at
Beaudry avenue and occupies a rise of
ground entirely by itself. 1t has 1875
rooms and can provide accommodations
for 100 patients. 1t is extremely large
and airy, with private rooms equal to
any first.ciass hotel. There are IA Sic
tera, 10 servant girls and male nurses
employed The operating room, on the
third floor, is one of the best equipped
on the coast. All of the employees Of
the Southern Pacific and Santa Fe rail-
roads are taken care OF there.
The Pacific sanitarium is owned by
Dr.'J K. Cowles, and is located at Pico
and Hope streets. 1t ia handsome
three-etory building, equipped with all
the latest hospital appliances and fur
nished in handsome taste. The sewer
ing ia especially we'll provided for. Every
precaution has been taken to avoid sewer
gases, with the result that an almost
perfect system has been devised. The
house contains some "a rooms. The
upper portion ia the sanitarium proper
and has its separate kitchen facilities
baths, etc. Operating rooms are on
each floor, the one on the upper one
being very light and convenient. The
whole arrangement is extremely COM
plete, and is spoken of very highly by
the large number OF physicians who take
their patients there.
The st. Paul's expect shortly to build
large new hospital.

Lime as q Fertilizer.

Massachusetts, Ploughman says that
the reason why lime is not used much
in New England is perhaps due to the
comparative scarcity Of limestone in
most parts Of this section. That it exerts
beneficial action upon peaty lands,
and upon lands that have been for a
long time cropped and MANFRED, there
is abundant evidence in all places where
it has been tried. There are many places
near our large towns and cities where
oyster and clam shells are thrown away
In considerable quantities. These are
easily converted into good lime by burn
ing them in a limekiln built of bricks
for the purpose, or where there is not
enough demand to warrant the building
of a kiln for the purpose the shells may
be imperfectly burned in heap, con-
structed with alternate layers of shells
and firewood and covered over with a
layer Of sod to retain the heat, leaving
smoke hole in the middle on top. It is
not necessary to use good wood for this
purpose In this way dressing of lime
might be cheaply prepared wherever
shells can be had, and the labor would be
we'll repaid in the increased fertility of
the soil. @

Have you noticed the change it sometimes
makes
In woman's face
Passive it may be- and dull and cold,
Neutral tinted and commonplace
When the sun falls on it? How swift it takes
Meaning and color and soft outlines?
How strange new lights from the eyes will slip.
And new tints blossom on cheek and lin?
The whole face softens and warns and shines.
And the hair, a miser grown OVERLOAD,
Shows forth of sudden undreamed of gold.
Oh, there's many woman, east and west,
Must be in the sunshine to look her best.
Have you ever noticed the change it makes
In woman's face
And her heart and her life, that were cold and
dull
And slightly inclined to commonplace,
When love shines on them? How there breaks
Over her nature a wave of gold,
Bringing out beauty unknown before,
Mellowing, widening more and more,
Lifting her up till her eyes behold
Ever new blooms for her hands to Gull.
So she and her life grow beautiful?
oh, there's never woman, east or west,
But must live in loves sunshine to live her best,

LEGUMINoUs PLANTS.
For Green Manuring and For Feeding.
Results Gained at Different Stations.

For Green Manuring and For Feeding.
Results Gained at Different Stations.
Farmers bulletin No. 16 issued from
the department. of agriculture contains
vast fund of information gained from
reports OF experiments conducted at
many stations. Following is summary
of the whole subject:
Green manuring improves the phys
ical properties Of the soil by making the
soil more porous and adding to it's sup
ply OF humus. 1t brings up the dormant
plant food from deep down in the soil
and deposits it near the surface. Green
manuring with buckwheat, Hungarian
grass and other nonleguminous plants
adds practically nothing to the soil
which was not there before, except a
mass OF vegetable matter which decays
and goes to form humus Green manur-
ing, with blowers, peas, beans, lupines,
etc. Qegumirous crops), actually en-
riches the soI in nitrogen drawn from
the air. 1t is the cheapest means of
manuring the soil with nitrogen.
But animals as we'll as plants re-
quire nitrogen for food. By feeding the
crops of clover, COW peas, etc, only about
one-fourth Of the fertilizing materials Of
the crop is lost if the manure is proper
~ cared for, The leguminous crop is
best utilized when it is fed on the farm
and the manure saved and applied to
the soil The greatest profit is thus Sc
cured, and nearly the same fertility is
1aJr q oc ~,
For renovating worn or barren soils,
and for maintaining the fertility where
the barnyard manure is not properly
cared for, green manuring with such le-
guminous crops as COW peas, clovers and
supines is recommended. A dressing Of
potash and phosphates will usually be
sufficient for the green manuring crop.
The practice Of green manuring on me-
dunn and better classes of soils is IRA
tional and wasteful
The system of soiling or feeding green
crops in the barn in place of pasturage
enables a larger number of animals to be
kept on given area of land and the
manure to be more completely saved.
For this purpose leguminous crops are
extremely valuable. Hay from legumi-
nous crops is about twice as rich in pro-
tein as hay from grasses Leguminous
crops yield larger crops of hay to the
acre than grasses. Hence the production
of food materials on an acre, especially
protein, is several times larger with le-
guminous crops
If allowed to ripen, the seed of the
COW pea and sofa bean furnishes an ex-
tremely rich concentrated feed which
can be ground and fed in place of expen-
sive commercial feeds. The straw re-
manning may be fed as coarse fodder,
for it is richer than ordinary hay Grow
more leguminous crops They furnish
the cheapest food for stock and the
cheapest manure for the soil They do
this because they obtain from the air a
substance necessary for plants and ami
mails alike, which costs in the form Of
fertilizers and feeding stuffs from 15
to % cents a pound.

Club Root In Cabbage.

Mr.. Gregory Of Massachusetts says
club root is caused by a fungus which
only develops on soils deficient in lime
or potash. Heavy dressings Of lime and
ashes will enable cabbage growers to
grow this crop on the same land in sue
cession as long as they choose. There is
no objection toplanting out cabbage for
seed on the same ground where it was
grown the year before. That is the nat
ural way it is grown, and it is reasona-
BILE to believe that nature does not make
mistake in SO ordering the growth Of
seed following that of the crop grown the
previous season.
