Representative 0 the Grea upperw

Scarcely any other manure at all was
used. A more convincing experiment
still was performed in Prussia, where
a large field was sown with lupins and
divided, one part being treated in the
ordinary fashion, the other inoculated
from an old lupin crop. The yield in
the latter part was five and half times
as great as that under the normal
treatment. A remarkable point in
these operations is that each variety Of
the leguminousae has its characteristic
mierobe, and that it is no use inoculat-
ing field of clover, for instance, with
lucerne, or Of lupin with clover.

Indignant Indians.

The Wenatchee Indians of Washing
ton are protesting against an act Of
vandalism and sacrilege committed by
the Great Northern Railroad company.
The worlkmcn of the company lately
blasted out some big rocks near the
Indian settlements, which were covered
with hieroglyphics. The rocks were
the sacred records Of the Wenatchee
tribe, and the inscriptions told of their
chiefs and battles and the whole his
tory of the people. The Indians are
naturally intensely indignant, but it is
q frequent occurrence for relic hunters
and tourists in the northwest to rob
the graves of Indians Of all sorts Of
articles, and even to dixintcr and rob
bodies Of ornaments, and no redress is

Thought They Were Capsules and Took
tho Dose In the DARK.
A good citizen in the northwesterp
section of the city has been through an
exciting experience, say 9 the Washing
ton Post. Being dyspeptic the gem
tleman visited his physician. A pre-.
scription was written for him which
the druggist filed. The result was =
small box of capsules, which he took
home and placed upon the sideboard,
with the remembrance of the instruc-
tions to take two every hour in the
evening after eating until bedtime.
These were obeyed implicitly. It was
dark in the dining-room and the 0an-
tleman went for his medicine the first
evening without the precauti0n of n
lamp and administered to himself three
doses OF two capsules each before re-
firing. He was awakened some hours
afterward by strange sensation. For
aught the man could tell he seemed
within to be q mammoth psnochle
board on which million little objects
were dancing. He could distinguish
kicks and jumps 30 vividly that it was
in vain for his win to try and convince
him that he was dreaming. She sug-
gested the doctor, and the servant was
dispatched in hot haste. Before he ar
rived the sick man asked for more Of
the capsules, which were brought -
his bedside. When the cover wss re-
moved there were Mexican beans In
stead of capsules, the busy kernels
bouncing as merrily Is spring lambs.
The box of capsules had been mis-
placed accidentally by the young soa
and heir and the beans put In its place.

Dispersion of New England Families.


The extraordinary dispersion of New
England families is illustrated in let
ter written by William Chaplin Web
ster, Of Hudson, O., to the Hartford
Courant. Mr.. Webster says that his
great-grandfather, Thomas Webster,
of Hebron, Conn.,, who lived to be
ninety-nine years and eight months
old, had family of thirteen children.
all but one or two of whom married
and some of whom settled near by
among them his grandfather. William
c. Webster is now in his eighty ninth
year. When he was boy there were
four Webster families on four adjoin-
ing farms in that part of Hebron
known as Gilead. and he can count up
fifty Websters born and raised on those
farms. Now there is not a Webster on
those farms, and the name has run out
in that neighborhood.

THE NEW CARS EDUCATION.

Nicholas Was Carefully Trained In LaD-
guagss and Liked Best the French.
Car Nicholas, Paris correspondent
writes, had successfully in youth two
French tutors. They both lived in the
palace, and confined themselves to tho
French branch of the czarowitz' educa-
ton. They were professors of the
French university, and the one who
served last, M. Lanson, filled the chair
of French literature at Toulouse be-
fore he went to Russia. He is now
writing his impressions of the court OF
Russia. They are to come out first in
q review, and then in q small volume.
The Figaro has been interviewing him.
M. Lanson speaks of the late emperor
rs strong, cold. and yet headlong, and
subject to violent fits of anger that
frightened all those around him. His
son entirely takes after the empress
dowager. He is thoughtful. nervous,
impressionable, and not strong willed-
The German teachers did not reside In
the palace. Nicholas was taught other
languages with as great care as French,
which he knows thoroughly, and knew
well before he had professor. If he
preferred one French author to an
other it was Victor Hugo or Lamar
tine. It was his teachers business to
explain to him the peculiar character
istics of the great writer's, whom they
studied after they had read selections
from them, or as they read through
them. He found that his pupil assimi-
lated rapidly. and he certainly was st
tentive. N. Lanson will not say that
the young prince had marked prefer
ence for French literature, though he
showed strong desire to learn all he
could about France. But he certainly
had a higher opinion Of French painters
and sculptors than those Of any foreign

Wafer Power Now Uaed to Light 0ounr
tain villages With Electricity.
IAN over the Tyrol, Switzerland, and
the Alpine country generally, you find
to-day curious conjunction Of the
modern and the medieval in the village
streets, the stores and the inns, said .
traveller to New York Sun man re-
Gently. ''In the smallest, the most re-
mote and the most ancient villages in
the Bavarian Alps, the Tyrol and the
Bernese Oberland you find the streets,
the stores, the inns, and not infre-
quently the houses, supplied with elec-
trio lights. i revisited last August a
little village back in the Tyrolean
mountains, near Innsbruck, which is
one of the most characteristically
medieval communities one could well
find. The people live in the houses Of
their grandsires, and follow their GUS
toms and ways.
'sThis year. I arrived there in the
evening, and was amazed to find the
streets as brilliantly lighted as Broad
way, where formerly the only light
was from q swinging horn lantern here
and there. There were clusters of in
candescent lights strung across the
streets every few yards. The little inn
had complete installation, and SO had
the few little shops. l was prepared
to learn that the formerly quiet village
had become a fashionable watering
place. But it hadn't. 1t was as quiet
and as slow, antiquated and out of
date as ever. Later, as l wandered
about the Tyrol and Switzerland, I
found the same change everywhere.
SIT is very natural that it should be
so, too, for in all that region there is
power in superabundance. running
waste on every hand. From every
rock leaps cascade, and over every
cliff roars a waterfall; there are
streams that flow evenly with steady,
small power and torrents that thunder
down with tons of force. The village
of Murren, perched on the edge of q
cliff opposite the Jungfrau, at height
Of five thousand feet above sea level,
has very complete electric lighting
system, and power enough within a
few hundred yards radius to light half
New York. The villages get their light
almost free.
''This is, so far as could learn, the
very first use to which the vast water
power in the Alps has been put. Hith-
erto it has all run idle. Materialistic
travellers often wonder why Switzcr-
land is not big manufacturing coun-
try. Alas! it soon may be, now the
patient plodders there are finding what
a wonderful capa bility for work is in
the waterfalls"

ALExANpeR.s a SENSE OF HONOR.

The Late Cxar Would Not CountenAnoo
Bribery In the Capture Of Rustchak.
I happen to be cognizant of . curious
episode which strongly illustrates the
honorable and straightforward char
acter of the late czar. 1t occurred
when he still the czarevitch, in coE-
mand Of the army OF the Lom, the
period was near the end Of July, tn,
place the village Of Obertenik, where
was located the headquarters OF the
czarevitch, says Archibald Forbes in
the London News.
The army was echeloned along the
road to Rustchuk, waiting for the word
to besiege that fortress when the siege
train should arrive. Meanwhile it did.
not possess an intrenchment tool or =
siege gun. Yet the place of every
division had been allotted in the planned
environment, which, l was privily told,
was to precede but by day or two the
gaining Of the place by q coup de main.
I.took the liberty to remark that to at
tempt coup de main against fortress
so strong as we knew Rustchuk to be
was simply to court disastrous and
bloody failure.
"All the same," significantly replied
the staff officer with whom I was in
conversation, ''you win see that we
shall have Rustchuk within week. I
will tell you a secret" he continued.
''The pasha commanding in Rustchux
has been found to have his price; the
coup de main will be simply decent
blind to his treachery; and after make
believe assault the place will be sur
rendered, and we shall be in possession
of the strongest fortress Of the Turkish
quadrilateral."
The project never came of and sub
sequently learned the reason. Every
detail of the arrangement had been
settled. It only remained to inform
the czarevitch of the scheme which
promised results 80 valuable. To the
surprise and dismay of his staff, Alex
ander broke into passion of wrath
and disgust. He denounced the pro-
ject as treacherous, cowardly and un-
soldierly. "Let us take Rustchuk," he
exclaimed, ''if we can; but by the
sword and the siege gun, not by the
base method of golden keyl lam
ashamed of you as Russian soldiers."

WOMEN MAKE HIM UNHAPPY.

The Street Car Conductor Expresses Hia
Hostility to tho softer Sex.
81 would rather handle twenty men
than one woman" said the Broadway
car conductor, eying the retreating
figure of an irascible old lady who had
just got of. ''Wcmen have been pam
pered and humored and taken care of SO
long that they are rapidly becoming an
absolute nuisance as far as street cars
are concerned"
Then the conductor produced a list of
one days experience with women, says
the New York Herald. 1t was:
Number of women who chased the
car two blocks when another car was
just behind, 326; women who COM
planned because the car did not stop
within ten feet of the crossing, IS;
women who gave the conductor the
''bad eye" on general principles, 1876;
women who hung to straps and refused
to ''step forward" 375; women who re-
fused to move along and make room for
other women, sc; women who carried
pug dogs in defiance Of all rules, %;
women who quarrcled with each 9th
er for seats, Is; women who tried to
make the conductor believe that ten
year old children were babes in arms,
l3; women who consumed ten minutes
looking for their fares. 27S; women who
felt insultcd because worn-out work
ingmen did not get up and make room
for them, 3O1; women who smiled sweet
ly on being jostled and acted courte-
ously to all Salvation Army, 1; women
who said please" to the conductor
when asking him to stop the car

LAND VACCINATION.

Iuteresting Experiments Made In France
and Germany.
One of the strangest things in recent
science has to do with the ''vaecina-
ton" of land Everyone knows, says
the Philadelphia Press, that it tenriches,
instead of impoverishes, field to plant
it with leguminous crop, such as
clover or lucerne, the roots OF which
have power of absorbing and retain
ing more nitrogen than they take from
the ground. But where the nitrogen
comes from is another matter. The
air suggested itself at once when peo-
ple began to study the problem; and
Messrs. Lawes and Gilbert, among
others, spent many months in fruitless
endeavors to trace the source to the
air, coming at last to negative con-
elusion. The discovery was eventually
made by Herren Hellriegel and VIII
farth, of Germany, that the absorb
ton was due to minute organisms T.
sort of disease) in the roots, which.
when the supply OF nitrogen
in the soil began to fail, aP-
peared in the form of small ex-
crescences, drew nitrogen from the
air, aud SO caused the enrichment.
When this had once been settled
it became matter Of importance to
foster, and, il possible, hasten the
growth Of the .diseaae In the Aelds

Kansas Stockmen.

Topeka, Kan, Sept. GA big fight
is on in Kansas between livestock men
and Governor Morrill,. Today the
commission men of the Kansas City
stockyards telegraphed the governor
demanding the reorganization of the
board. They gave as reason that two
men of the present board, constituting
majority, publish broadcast every re-
port of Texas fever in any community,
in order. to justify the collection of .
cents head for all shipments into and
through the state. The stockmen of
the state are also organized, and will
demand of the governor the removal Of
the board. The stockmen of Kansas
buy cattle in New Mexico and Texas.
and they say the cents for inspection
is rake of for the board. The stock
men of this state represent third Of
it's wealth; more than third of the
money on deposit in the banks of Kan
sas belongs to stock raisers.

Bogus-MOney Maker Turned States
Evidence, But to No Avail.
Carson, New, Sept. 6. - Chris
Grass, charged with having molds for
making counterfeit money in his pos
session, was cleared in the United
States district court The principal
witnesses against Glass were Detective
Harris and Frank Jennings, who
turned states evidence. Grass claimed
that an officer came to him in Reno
and told him he had three counterfeit
ers in his employ. Grass said he
would discharge them, but the officer
asked him to keep them until he could
complete his chain of evidence. When
finally the officers came to arrest the
men, they had skipped to Oregon.
Harris asked Grass to go to that state
with him to identify them, which he
did. This made one of them, Jen-
nings, angry, and he implicated Grass,
who was placed under arrest. Jen-
nings turned states evidence and
pleaded guilty, but to no avail, as all
three have been cleared. The marshal
and district attorney promise to inter-
cede with the judge for Jennings and
get light sentence.

FOSTER ON CHINA.
The Ex-Secretary Speaks of the Riots
and the Condition of the Chinese.

The Ex-Secretary Speaks of the Riot
and the Condition of the Chinese.
Watertown, N. Y, Sept. 10.-Tht
Hon. J. W. Foster, ex-secretary o.
state and recent counsel for the Chi
nese government, in an address on for
eign missions here tonight, spoke a.
follows ON the recent riots in China:
The opinion formed by me, after 9
careful inquiry and observation, il
that the masses of the population in
China, particularly the common peo
pie, are especially hostile to the mis-
sionaries and their work. Occasion
ally riots have occurred, but they are
almost invariably traced to the literal
or prospective office-holders and the
ruling classes. These are often bigoted
and conceited to the highest degree,
and regard the teachings Of the mis-
sionaries as tending to overthrow the
existing order of government and So
ciety, which they look upon as per-
feet system and sanctified by great an.
tiquity.
1.-The war with Japan, which result.
ed in humiliation in the peace and the
loss of territory, has greatly weakened
the imperial authority, and the dis
bandment of several hundred thousand
troops, mostly without receiving the
pay due them, has added to the pre-.
vailing discomfort and disorder.
Under such circumstances it is not
strange that riots should occur.
''But we in America should be chary
of our condemnation, when we recall
the many outrages which have been in.
flicted on Chinese subjects in the
United States, and remember the Rock
Springs, Wyo., riot, few years ago,
was equally cruel and fatal in its re-
suit and reflected more severely upon
our authorities.
ST am, however, in full sympathy
with the prevailing demand in the
United States that China should be
held to strict account for these out
RACES. but in doing this care should be
exercised by our government that il
does not lend itself to advance the sin.
lister projects of European governments
that are on the alert to turn the inter-
national trouble of China to their own
benefit. The United States is strong
enough to act Independently of Euro
pean combinations, and China has
never failed to comply with its just
demands.
''There seems to be in part of the
public press of our country miscon-
ception Of the ground upon which ou1
government bases its Intervention on
account of these riots. It is not be.
cause we are Christian country, and
are seeking to support Christian
propag gandism in China. It is simply
because the people, in whose behalf oul
government intervenes, are American
citizens pursuing an avocation guaran'
teed by treaty and permitted by Chi
nese laws

BOWLER HAS DECIDED.
Controllers Decision in the
Sugar Bounty Case.
HE HOLDS HE HAS JURISDICTION
That Part of the Act of Congress Maxi
ing the Appropriation lie De-
clares Unconstit utfonaI.

Washington, Sept. 7.-R. B. Bow
Ter, controller of the treasury, today
rendered an opinion in the now cele-.
brated Oxnard sugar-bounty claims, in
which he holds, first, that he, as con-
troller, has jurisdiction of the case,
and, second, in his opinion, the act of
March, 1890, making the sugar bounty
appropriation, is unconstitutional. He,
however, decided that the papers in
the case should be sent to the court of
claims for the rendition of a Judgment,
i'll order that there may be furnished
precedent for the future action of the
executive department in the adjust
ment of this class of cases involved in
these sugar bounties.
The claim decided today is on substan-
TALLY the same footing as all other SUI
gar-bounty claims, for the satisfaction of
which congress at its last session appro-
priated $5,329, 600. The controller am
swers at length the argument present.
ed by counsel at the hearing in which
his Jurisdiction was attacked, and in
the course of his reply he says statutes
which do not conform to the constitu-
tion are not law, and, therefore, when
a statute is in apparent conflict with
the constitution it becomes the duty Of
the executive officer to determine for
himself as between the statute and the
constitution whether the statute is the
law. 1t is true that the statute is to
be considered prima facie constitu-
tional and should be followed unless it
is clearly unconstitutional. 1t is also
true that an officer acts at his peril if
he does not execute a constitutional
statute, but it is none the less true
that he acts at his peril if he executes
an unconstitutional statute.
AS the controller does not act under
the directions of the secretary of the
treasury, or the president, his decisions,
within the sphere of his jurisdiction,
are final and conclusive upon the execu-
tive branch of the government, and it
follows that the power to resist the
execution of an unconstitutional statute
is denied to any executive officer what
ever.
1t was claimed that no executive
officer had the right to raise the point
of unconstitutionality of statute, or
even of case in court, nor to finally
determine its validity by the only
branch of the government conceded to
have the power to settle such ques-
tions. This contention cannot be
sound, as shown by the decision of tho
supreme court of the United States and
other courts. Applied to the question
of the payment of money from the
treasury of the United St1tes by an
officer sworn to support the constitu-
tion, he would be without power to
protect the treasury against such un-
lawful claims for the largest possible
amount.

Canadians Remonstrate,

Ottawa, Sept. THE Canadian
government is preparing case to SUBJ
NIT to Washington, through the Brit
ish government pointing out the disas-
trous effect the construction of the Chi
cago canal will have on Canadian
shipping. The minister of justice says
the law of nations governs the Cana
dian case in question. 1t is contended
that the water level of the great lakes
is likely to be lowered. A government
engineer who is looking into the mat
ter said the government had reports
that MS the harbors on the American
side of the lakes will be as injuriously
affected as the Canadian harbors, the
American points concerned will use
their influence to prevent the construc-
ton Of the canal.
