liberal dressing than he is able to give
them from his own supply of home
produced, natural manure. Whoever
seeks to arrive quickly at this state of
cultivation must make extensive use of
those auxiliary or artificial manures
that are now offered him by commerce.
AS long as these powerful agents for
increasing the production Of land were
unknown an advantageous rotation of
crops was, indeed, the only means of
1nSuring large yield from the farm
and this leads slowly, but surely, to the
result; now, on the contrary, it is in
the farmers power, by buying addi-
tional manures, to attain his object
with greater rapidity.
The more extended employment of ar
tificial manures is an advance in farm
ing that has already opened a new era.
By this means the business of a farmer
is becoming more closely appropriated
than formerly to that of q manufac-
turer.
For while formerly our farming ar
rangements were conducted in the
manner which the quality of manure
produced on the farm itself prescribed
we are now free to cultivate. as may
seem most profitable, every plant which
is suited to the soil.
Yes, still more, we can produce, as
it were, with a single effort, fine har-
vests from worn-out and poorly ma
nured land. We can, in such case, Sc
cure in two or three years the same re-
suits for which formerly ten or eleven
years were required.
Whoever is now contented with the
harvest which half-exhausted or but
partially MANFRED field produces sur
renders of his own free will the full
income derived from the land.

SENTIMENT IN IEWELs.

There are few women who do not hon.
eStly love gems, and a clever man viii

and happy in the possession of her dia-

thrill of joy in a gift of like nature, which
nothing more useful or substantial tan

love our baubleS. I am great believer in

called.

STILL ROOM For IMPROVEMENT.

Women have from time immemorial
been abominably ill-shod, and most of
them are so still. The makers of ready
made shoes unhesitatingIy cater to
fashion, and it is difficult for women to
find g. ready-made shoe with a low
heel and a. roomy toe Nine women
out of ten have wretchedly abused feet,
and the condition of their walking
shoes at the end of six weeks use is
such, that brothers or husbands would
not think for a moment Of wearing
them. Working women stand or walk
all day long on French heels, partly
through vanity, partly because better
shaped shoes have to be made to order
at a. comparatively high price. Chill
dren's shoes, save in rare instances,
are still made in defiance of hygiene,
and are responsible for half the pains
of learning TO walk. Doctors are rec
ommending that infants be brought up
bare foot. The priceefor infants shoes
made to order are prohibitive to the
poor. Every sort of shoe that processes
to be hygienic has a high price put
upon it because of the name. Women
have of recent years learned some wis
dom in the matter of footwear, from the
fact that shoes for wear in athletic
sports are made in sensible and COM

TRAINING GRAPE VINES.

How to train grape vines so as to
secure the best results is matter
about which there have been several
opinions, the favorite methods being
the trellis on the one hand and the
training of the vine to a single stake
on the European renewal system on
the other. The methods were tried in
competition with each other at the On
tario Station for three years in sue
cession, and the results have just been
published. The advantage all appears
to be in favor of the trellis system,
and the reason of this seems to be
because it allows the vines to grow
more open, and thus to better utilize
the summer heat for ripening. During
the experimental period summer prun-
ing was also tried, and gave a much
more evenly ripened crop than I'M
pruned vines, similarly cultivated. If,
therefore, the purpose is to 1engthen
the season, summer pruning should be
avoided, as the punches will ripen uni
formly, whereas if it is desired that
they should ripen at once, then sum-
mer pruning would be valuable for
that purpose.

SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. THE
trial of Theodore Durrant will be re-
sumed on Tuesday, Monday being a
state holiday. During the past week
| little progress was made in the taking
Of testimony.
None of the really important wit

on the stand, and no material points
have yet been made against the de-
fendant
The witnesses who have already tes-
titled are merely paving the way for
those to follow. While their evidence
is important in showing that a crime
has been committed, it does not point
in the remotest degree to the muir
derer. 1t becomes more and more APP
parent that the defense will lbe mega
tive.
More hope will be placed in breaking
the chain Of evidence presented by the
prosecution than sa any testimony he
may give in his own behalf las yet
the defendants attorneys have not
been successful in their efforts to con-
fuse witnesses and lead them into con-
Predictions. The real weighty evil
dence upon which the prosecution de-
ponds is to be furnished by three school
girls who saw Durrant on the street
car with Miss Lamont on the day she
disappeared; Martin QWnlan, an at
torney, who saw the defendant walking
toward Emanuel church at about
o'clock with a girl who answers
Blanche Lamont's description; Mrs.
Leak, who, from her house opposite
the church, observed Durrant and Miss
Lamont walk into the church through
a side door. and Organist King who,
about O'Clock on the same afternoon,
was surprised to see Durrant stagger
into the library Of the church. painting,
partially clothed, and disheve1led. 1t
is these witnesses who will furnish
the chief links in the chain of evidence
upon which a conviction wild be asked,
and 1T will he their testimony which
the defendants counsel will attack
with vigor.

down one of the witnesses, they CON

acquittal. The prosecution, they say,

DEVELOPING A wATER-PowER.

Persons owning desirable water
powers need not be afraid to develop
them, if coal costs over 81 ton at
the site; but in laying them out they
should be governed by the minimum
reliable flow of the stream, plus the
amount that can be saved by night
storage, if it Is only to be used for
power by day, or for lighting by night
as such storage will double it. You
may calculate on getting so per cent
net effect with either of half dozen
of the best turbines, say the Geyelin,
Hercules, Humphrey. Hunt, Leffel,
Risdon, Swain or Victor, all of which
have shown higher records than so per
cent. With this effect you can get a
horse power net for each cubic foot of
water per second on an eleven-foot
wall: Do not, however, as the writer
has seen done, plant a mill requiring
300 horsepower on a stream which
would furnish only 100 horsepower for
six months in the year, and have to
haul coal from the railroad, three or
four miles distant, to supply steam for
the balance.
SO much for the cost of water-power.
For It's value, I return to the old rule.
1t is worth, in any place, if it should
pe ueeoeu at all, what II Will cost to
replace it by steam, and for this find
the cost Of coal per ton delivered at
your boilers.
For triple compound engines allow
1.50 pounds of coal Of best quality per
hour per horsepower, or, to be safe,
say LIS pounds; for double compound,
2 to 2 IL pounds; for single condensing,
IL to 8 pounds; for high pressure,
g to IL pounds, according to size Of
engine.
To the cost Of fuel add wages Of en-.
gineer and fireman, cost of oil, and
IL IL per cent on the cost of the plant
for sinking fund, for renewal. interest,
Insurance and taxes, repairs and sup
plies, and you get pretty close to the
cost of a horsepower Of steam as rep
resenting the only known measure of
the value of a horsepower of water-.-

A Few Details of the Life of Fraud
Fraker.

Fraker.
LOS ANGELES, Cal, Sept 7-Dr. w.
O. Mcleod. a well-known physician of
this city, knows some chapters of swim
dler Fraker's life that have not yet ap-
peared in print.
He said today: "Fraker always was a
shrewd. mean fellow. L knew him when
he was a young man. He began to prac-
tice without a diploma in Triplett, Mo.
This was law-breakin, but he was never
arrested for it. Before long he turned in
to a druggist. His store was really an
unlicensed liquor shop. He was arrested
for this offense and his business broken
up. He married and moved to Excelsior
Springs, watering place seventy miles
away. His wife was a. good respectable
a visit, when her clothes and all her lit
tie belongings Unexpectedly made their
message from Fraker, that she
need never come back. He de-
clared that she was too jealous, and
that he was done with her. His wife
loved him. She wanted reconciliation.
At last she gave up and applied for di-
vorce and some time after married her
second husband.
"F'raker used to get into all sorts of
little scrapes. He would do some mean
thing and sink low in every ones estima-
ton. but always managed to get back
into the towns good graces again. He did
get medical diploma at last.
81 think he never married again, so
he could not live very comfortably. His
father and mother died when he was
little boy, and he was brought up by
an uncle. but was thrown on his own
resources early in life and drifted by
slow degrees from little things to worse
ones"
