VALUE OF sUBsoMING AND WIND
BREAKS,

Deep-rooted plants are able to with
stand drought better than shallow-
rooted ones, hence deep-rooting should
be encouraged. To this end it is al
ways desirable to work up the subsoii
as deep as possible, especially If hard
and near the surface. The more
thoroughly this Is done the better the
results are likely to be. Flowing the
orchard moderately deep each spring
will also aid in inducing the habit of
deep-rOoting.
On the subject Of subsoiiing, Peter
Youngers, Jr., of Geneva, Neb., writes
as follows: Several years ago the firm
of Youngers & Co., of which I am a
member, observed that whenever we
planted grain, corn, or potatoes fol-
loving a crop of trees, we invariably
had much better results than, when or
binary plowing and cultivation had
been followed. This led us to expert
ment on field as well as nursery crops.
and we hnd that the same deep ploW
ing and thorough preparation OF the
soil for field crops will pay as well as for
any other high-priced crop. The main
expense is in the subsoiling. This, IN
fact, is only an extra ploWing. WE
prepare the soil by first blowing eigh;
inches deep with ali ordinary stirring
pillow, which Is followed by the subsoii

TWO ETERNAL TYPES IN FICTION.

The novel of romance and adventure
has had a long history. and the ele-
ments Of which it is compounded are
recognizable long before they took the
form of fiction. Two figures appear
and reappear in the mythology of every
poetic people, the hero and the wan
derer; the man who achieves, and the
man who experiences, the man who
masters life by superiority Of soul or
body, and the man who masters it by
completeness Of knowledge. 1t is inter-
esting and pathetic to find how uni
VerSally these two figures held the at
tention and stirred the hearts of prim-
tive men: how infinitely varied are
their tasks their perils. and their
Vicissitudes. They wear 50 many
Gui5es, they bear SO many names, they
travel so far and compass so much
experience that it is Impossible, in any
Interpretation of mythology, to escape
the conviction that they we're the DOM
inant types in the thought Of the
myth-makers. And these earliest story
makers were not idle dreamers. enter
tanning themselves by endless manu-
facture of imaginary incidents. oondi-
tons and persons. They were, on the
contrary, the observers, the students,
the scientists Of their period; their en-
deavor was not &c create fiction, but
to explain the world and themselves.
Their observation was imperfect, and
they made ludierous mistakes of fact,
because they lacked both knowledge
and training: but they made free use
of the creative faculty. and there is,
consequently, a good deal more truth
in their daring guesseS than in many
of those provisional explanations of
nature and ourselves which have been
based too exclusively on scrutiny Of the
obvious fact and Indifference to the
fact which is not less fact because

TENEnIE,Nr HnRRoR IN GnrHAM.

TENEMENT HORROR IN GOTHAM.
Jacob A. Riis. in the March Forum)
Forty years ago the first legislative
commission was appointed TO find out
what was the matter with New York
where things seemed to be going from
bad to worse. 1t found a growing
population housed in wretched tene-
merits, housed any way, without re-
gard to any ones rights but the rent
collector, and suiting its life to its
environment. 1t recommended the
prevention of drunkenness by proyid-
ing every man with a clean and COM
Portable house." and was probably
laughed at for it's pains. A quarter of
a century later the first tenement
house committee repeated the same
warning, If not in the same words, to
the same purpose. Here now is the
body as to the condition OF today. The
crowdins-alik the measure OF dis
treSS and danger in city population
has grown beyond all precedent The
city below the Harlenl-that is, Man
haitian islands shown in the present
report to have a greater density Of
population than any other city in the
world, namely 1882 per acre. Paris
comes next with 125.2 and Berlin third
with 1875. But in the Tenth ward the
population crowds to the extent Of
e2S.2e per acre, and in one sanitary dis
trict of the Eleventh ward the density
reaches even 1864 persons to every one
of the thirty-two acres. It is clear
that in such crowds fresh air and sun
light must become unattainable 1u1ur-
les. Every consideration of health. of
comfort, and of ordinary decency has
to be sacrificed to the demand of the
rent collector. AS matter of fact the
committee found block in which
SO per cent Of the whole ground area
was covered with brick and mortar.
By way Of comparison it is pointed out
that the apparently densest small sec
ton Of Europe, the Jesefstadt of
Prague, has only 1854 to the acre. But
the Tenth ward alone, has nearly five
times the acreage of the crowded dis
trict in Prague. More than ona-half of
the eity's population-to quote the COM
mittee, eight-ffteenths- in what
are here called tenements. Including
the better kinds Of fats, which are
legally tenements, the number is
swelled to three-fourths, but of these

II had her and dog I'd shoot her and
leave the dog" Another time just before
the murder Hayward ''said there was go
ing to be o funeral there before the 10th,
no matter how it happened. He says:
OF course she'll be brought here and I'll
be so sorry, and I'll have to sit up all
night with the corpse, and after the coroner
has had his examination then I'll so east
with the body"
The way Blixt was brought to do the
deed was by Hayward threatening to kill
his (Blixt's) wife and Blixt said then he
would do anything if only Hayward would
not hurt his wife. The murder was COM
mitted this way, according to Blixt: He
and Hayward met buggy in which was
Miss Cling, and Blixt got in, Miss Cling
being told that this man is in the gang"
of green goods men with whom Miss
Cling thought che was dealing. Blixt
drove along screwing up his courage to the
mur-er point and finally shot the woman
and pitched her out of the buggy.
Blixt said that ON one occasion when he
wanted some new skates and clothes Hay
ward had told him that if he (Blixt)
would go out and kill any man, woman or
child and show him the place he would
give him 800.
What else did he say?" "Well, he said
he would give me 8 if I'd go to burn the
barn. 1t was right across the street.
Afterward he said that he had an affidavit
sworn to by a notary public and If l ever
told anything ON him he'd put me in
states prison ten years. Harry said he
| wanted an excitement"
Erwin then began a long and searching
cross-examination. But the lawyer tried
in vain to shake the original story; he re-
pcated it without substantial alteration.
What did those men do who were with
your thundered Erwin. "Those men,
repeated Blixt, in surprise.
"Yes, those men," 'Thcre were not
any men with me-"
Blixt said the clothes he had on were
the ones he wore that night, being the
only ones he had. Erwin at once offered
them in evidence. The jury examined
them and found what they thought might
be minute spots of blood. Erwin asked
that Blixt's coat remain in the court
