1ncy tbcIC Che cause OF His Detention
in Jail for Months.
A strange mistake on the part of the
police was discovered yesterday in Judge
Belcher's court, whereby a well-to-do
hotel man was freed from a humiliating
charge. 1t was ali on account of a big
ring of keys.
1t appears that Philip Richter is part
owner of the Calistoga Hotel of Calistoga
and has besides some unincumbered realty

months ago he paid a visit to San Fran

A SUSPICIOUS FIRE.
Fire Marshal Towe Investigates a Blaz
on Broderick Street.

Fire Marshal Towe investigated a sus-
picious case of fire at 303 Broderick street
yesterday and has come to the conclusion
that the burning of the residence of r. Tis-
dale at that address was incendiary.
Tlsdale claimed burglars had entered the
house during the absence of the family
and the fire followed their visit. The
building is owned by j. D. Sullivan, the
attorney, and is occupied by Tisdale as a
residence and shoestOre. He carried an
insurance of $4,000 on the contents and it is
believed by the Marshal that he desired
the money and fired the building for that
reason. Tisdale's arrest may follow.

A POLICEMAN ARRESTED.
Officer Hauck Charged With Failure to
Provide for His Family.

Policeman Peter Hauck was arrested on
warrant sworn to by Mrs. Kaiser yester-
day and booked on charge of failure to
provide for his family. He was released
on his own recognizance and will appear
in court this morning.
Mrs. Kaiser is neighbor of Mrs. Rauck,
and in her complaint says that the officer
has been drawing regular pay from the
city, but has allowed his wife and two chill
dren to suffer. She also lodged a complaint
with the Police Commissioners.
Hauck claims he has always been good
husband, but that his wife is addicted to
drink and on that account he left her. He
has always provided for the children and
in every way has been good parent. The
charges preferred by Mrs. Kaiser and his
arrest were prompted by malice he says.

Did He shave or shake ItY

one member, according to report in
one of the provincial papers, urged its
acceptance on the house, in order to
put a stop to the practice of shaving
factory boys to death" During the
last parliament Mr.. Gladstone indulged
one evening in some genial bantering
of Lord Harrington, and the following
appeared in one of the provincial re-
ports of the speech: "Such is the mod
esty of my noble friend that he shaves
his head. But must insist upon plac-
ing upon his head the crown which he
is entitled to wear" A reference to
the report published in the London
journal shows that Lord Harrington
did not shave his head, but only shook
it.-Macmillan's Magazine.

"A French statistician has recently
published comparative data on the uni

ing to his calculations, Germany has
one university student for every 1850
inhabitants; England, one ufor every
1912; Austria, one for every LIZA;
Hungary, one for every 5000; France,
one for every 1853; Italy, one for every
1,756. Germany has an university for

every 1,756,000 France, one for every
1850, 900; Italy, one for every 1,4s6. 600.
The greatest disproportion in this re-
spect is accordingly found in Italy, and
for this reason quite a number of
Italian universities, such as Urbino,
Macerata, Modena and others, have
almost as many professors as students.

THE VANILLA ORCHID.
How the Plant Is Cuitiyated IN Mexico and
Other. .C0untries.


On the verge of the icl-cream sea-
son, which consumes many hundred
tons of vanilla beans, few persons stop
to think of the years of preparation
necessary to supply enough of the
flavor without which the dainty dish
of the summer girl would be as moth
ing. From the time the plant is first
placed in the ground until the bean is
ready to be converted into sirup, near
ly four years elapse; years of constant
watching and delicate care. No COM
mon agriculturist can raise vanilla
beans Most of the big planters in
cultivated gentlemen.
The plant is generally set in young
wood where the long tendrils of the
vine will have good shade and at the
same time good support in the shape
of young saplings to which to cling.
The vines bear fruit in three years.

years old. After the beans are ripe
they are submitted to delicate drying
process which takes months. The
beans are spread out on blankets in the

they have absorbed sufficient heat the
blanket is rolled around the beans and
the drying process is continued through
the day. At night the beans are put
into boxes and sweated.
This is in fine weather. If the sea

tropics, artificial heat is substituted
for the rays of the sun The ripe fruit
has no odor. This is special quality
which it develops with fermentation. If
the beans are to be grown in treeless

before planting his vines. as their pro-

AGRICULTURE.

Smut is fungus attacking the corn
plant when quite small. 1t does not
spread from plant to plant during the
season, but the damage of one year
is produced by spores of the last. This
smut may be in the seed or the soil.
If on the seed, destroy by soaking in
strong solution of blue vitriol; il in the
soil, try change of crop. 1t is wise to
burn all smutty stalks when found.
Exposed corn fodder suffers two-fold
loss; it becomes dry and unpalatable
and there is a great loss of material.
This loss of material is mechanical from
the breaking up of the leaves, and chem
ical from the destruction of the constit-
uents of the fodder. Half the stock be-
low the ear is lost if fodder is thus ex
posed as we'll as portion of that above.
There are certainly conditions in
which fall blowing is advisable. When
patch is to be fitted for such crops as
peas or onions it is best to have the
ground fall plowed and left standing in
the furrow as rough as can be; all the
better if ploughed when slightly frozen.
The winter freezes will pulverize it
again and again, and its availability will
more than offset any loss of fertility.
Although our farm lands. increasing
in size and number. are producing more
every year, we must not forget that our
population is also increasing and that
the demand will keep pace with the
supply. When there is a great plenty
there is also greater consumption, and
more food is used by each individual, as
we'll as a greater variety.
He is just that much ahead who can
find some way Of reducing the cost of
production of the various products he
may have to carry to market This end
is not gained by extending operations
over a much larger area, except it be
with soil which yet retains its virgin
fertility. Generally the result is deteri-
grafton of soil, foul land and lessened
yield of grain, to say nothing of run

keep things we'll in hand and employ a
more intensive cultivation.
The farm reflects the character of the
owner. This is seen in the location Of
buildings and yards, tanks, orchards,
pastures, drives, etc. All these are a
part of his life's machinery. The better
the arrangement, the less friction. The
farmer must take advantage of every
short cut he can find. Superior tactics
on common farm may save enough la
Dor in year to amount to the wages of
an extra man.
Pools of water standing through the
winter are hurtful to the soil and to
the succeeding crops. When flooding in
creases fertility it must come quickly
and quickly pass away. else the ground
becomes cold and unproductive, and
gets none of the advantages which
come through freezing. So long as
there is settling down of the water
through the soil into drains there is no
harm done, and the air follows the
water.
