A village Improvement Society.

B. G. Northrop, in the Forum.
1t is in the Western States that thc
great progress in rural Improvement has
been made during the last ten years. Here
one finds illustrations of cooperation and
enterprise SURPRISING the more staid East.
The Wyoming Village Improvement Society
is the foremost organization of its kind in
Ohio. 1t was formed in 1880 at a public meet
ing where several spirited addresses were
made. The Mayor of the village was made
president. and a directory of four women
and four men was appointed. These were
divided into committees on trees, on side
walks, on sewerage. on finance, and ON
entertainments, concerts and lectures.
only seven hundred they began work with
thoroughness and enthusiasm. Nearly every
man and woman in the village Joined the
association. They first undertook one con-
spicuous improvement-the enlargement and
adornment of the unsightly grounds OF the
railroad station. They collected Sl.2Oo by
subscriptions. the railroad company added
$500 and hauled the needed gravel and soil

THE FARMING WORLD.
/. KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS.

Adapted to Wider Range of Growth
Than Other Varieties.
Blue grass (Poa pratensis) is FREE
quently spoken of as Kentucky blue
grass because of its marked adaptable
ity to the soil Of Kentucky. 1t is prob
ably adapted to a wider range Of
growth than any other variety Of grass.
It's best adapted to loan soils with
good leaven of clay in them, hence it
will always grow better on timber land
when cleared than on the prairie But
It will always grow in fairly good form
on light sands, on stiff clays, and on
the spongy loan soils of the prairie.
On sandy soils, however, it has been
known in some few instances to suc-
cumb in time of extreme drought.
Blue grass is very aggressive in its
habit Of growth. When once intro
duced into a pasture it is capable of
eventually crowding out nearly all
other kinds Of grass, and in fields laid
down to grass it will soon put in an
appearance If 1t has ever been previ-
ously grown upon the same land. But
it is easily destroyed for the time being
by cultivation.
This grass grows early in the season
and again in the autumn. It is usually
in head by the arrival of June, hence
the name June grass. It is of fine
and thick habit of growth, and all
kinds of stock are extremely fond OF it
1t is also very nutritious Its weak
points are, too little bulk for hay crops,

ISLAM AND CHRISTIANITY.

stagnation and Decay in the Land Of
the Moslem.
Outside of Christendom what we be-
hold is stagnation and decay. Nowhere
is the faintest sign of progress except
in Japan, and Japan has advanced by
adopting the methods and imbibing
freely the spirit, if not the actual
creed, of Christendom. The horrors
of Port Arthur prove that the assimila-
ton of the Christian spirit is very i'm
perfect without the formal organism in
which it has been historically en-
shrined; but at Least these horrors
were apologized for, and the war was
otherwise conducted according to the
rules of civilized warfare. Japan is
therefore the exception which proves
the rule, and the exception is due en-,
tirely to the influence Of Christianity.
In all other non-Christian states
whatever movement there may be is
backward. And nowhere is that ten
dency more marked than under the
rule of the crescent. 1t is therefore
an unfortunate time fer Moslem to
choose for instituting comparison be-
tween Islam and Christianity, much
to the disadvantage of the latter, both
intellectually and morally. Yet this
is what some Indian. Moslems have
lately been doing. It is significant
that these vindications Of Islam, at the
expense of Chrlstirdity, all hail from
India, where Islam has long ceased to
be ruling power. and has therefore
been unable to exhibit its real spirit

Some Novel Races.

- 4
A London newspaper some years ago
contained an account of strange sort
of contest which two noblemen once
got up for their own amusement It
consisted of matching flock of tur-
keys and flock of geese for race
on the London and Norwich road, in
the middle of the last century. The
turkeys would insist upon flying up
into the roadside trees to roost; while
the geese. keeping up steady waddle
all night, reached London from Nor
Mich two days ahead. The same
journal also mentions the feats< Of
Hon. Tom Coventry's sprinting pig. In
1903 this speedy animal was matched
against celebrated runner, and
started a strong favorite on the day Of
the race, which she won with ease.
The pig had been trained to run the
distance each day for its dinner. An
other strange contest of this time.
took place between two sporting
noblemen, who raced against each
other on 9 windy day on Hampstead
Heath, ono running backwards in
jack-boots, and the other holding up
an open umbrella. and running for
wards. Harper's Ronnd Table.

French Law About Poachers,

According to the French law the
conviction of q poacher carries with it
the confscation of his weapon. In
this fact is to be sought the explana-
ton Of . curious scene which was wit
nossed at Auguleme few days ago
It appears that guns so confscated
may bs redeemed by the owners on
payment of fifty franco They are GER
tainly dear At that price, for in the
first place the poacher seldom seeks to
recover his property, and secondly,
they are ultimately disposed of by the
government at periodical sales at an
average rate of four francs apiece.
Whether this be SO or not, tho latter
fact has formed the subject of many
protests on the part of the gunmakers,
who declare that their trade interests
are damaged. After representations
to tho government extending over
many years without obtaining redress
they at last have had recourse to stern
or measures For some time past the
batohes of Anticipated weapons offered
ut tho aforementioned sales in the
Charente have been bought by the
armorers of Angouleme, and. a sufic-
lent quantity having been collected,
they were publicly destroyed in tho

them on snipe hunt. AS the guest of

''Ha, ha," snickered the fat man.
''They gave me candle ALSO" went
on the narrator, without noticing the
interruption. ",Then the other mem

The fat man slapped his knee. "And
you stayed there till morning"

necessitated my taking an early train.

walked to the station, about two miles
distant, where I found my grip and
took an up-bound train. ....

conducted search for my remains,
and were fearful that they would be
held responsible for my disappearance.

several weeks later by letter, and ex-
pressed my regrets at being compelled
