LOOK TO THE SEEDS.


Prof. Galloway says of the influence OF
size and weight of seeds on the growth
of the plant. The large seed terminates
more quickly, with more certainty and
produces marketable plant sooner than
the small, while the more uniform growth
gives larger crop to be brought in to-
gether. thus practically clearing the land
at once. With large and small seed sown
together and maturing at different times,
either the use of a portion Of the land
must be lost while waiting for portion
of the crop to become matured or that
part Of the crop must be sacrificed. By
using large selected seed IS to 80 per cent
of the crop can be brought in together.
When 1t Is desirable that crops should
mature in order, 1t is better to have a
succession of sowings, using selected
seeds for each. 1t s a waste Of time and
material to use other than the best Of
seeds

A BISHOPS VIEW OF THE BLooNIER
QUESTION.

/ approve of anything in line with
woman's advancement which is consist
ent with her womanly dignity. The So
called bloomer question with its looseness
and the freedom of movement 1t allows,
Is certinly vast Improvement, as far as
health is concerned, upon the clothing
women have worn in the past. One OF
the greatest reasons Of womens physical
inferiority to man lies in the fact that
in the past she has not clothed herself
in a sensible or rational way; she has
fooiish,y sacrificed bodily heath 10 i'm
aginary Improvement in her personal
appearance. In my work in Africa I
have found that my women missionaries
as a whole have more endurance than
the men. They are sensible women who
do not violate the laws OF health in what
they wear; and the manner in which they
have kept at work which has broken men
down proves, l think, that women are
equal IL not superior, to their masculine
co-workers in staying power and general
strength Of constitution when the condi-
tions are equal1y favorable. The wearing
by women Of looge trousers while DicY-
Gle riding IS a distinct step toward max

The returns of the United States ship
ping commissioners for this year ended
June 3O 1895, leave little room for con-
gratrilatlon to the citizens OF this coun-
try, who eminently hope that in the
near future American merchant ships,
manned by men of American birth, will
be a power to be reckoned within the
ccean-carrying trade. OF the 79,4l5 men
shipped during the twelve months, there
were 24,1S2 Scandinavians, 2l,SSl Aneri-
cans, 11,552 British, 11,O57 Germans, ST.
French, 1870 Italians, 1917 Russian Fins,
and 7455 other nationalities. AS compared
with the previous twelve months, 250
fewer American born seamen and 2OO0
more Scandinavians were shipped. New
York, fairly cosmopolitan port, ships
two Scandlnavians for every American,
and Boston, the hub of the universe,
curious enough ships twelve Scandinav-
ians to every American.

The David Crockett was once the most
famous packet ship afloat She was built
at Stonnington in 1853, and when first
in commission went into the San Fran
cisco trade, sailing out of New York and
carrying passengers stricken with gold
fever. She once made the passage from
here to Philadelphia in 92 days and from
here to New York in 102 days. In 1890
the David Crockett was bought by Peter
Wright & Sons, of Philadelphia, who con-
verted her into a barge named her POGO
hontas and set her to carrying Goals.

Information was received by the steam
er Gaelic, which arrived yesterday from
Hongkong and Yokohama, says the Jour
nal of Commerce, that the Japanese
cabinet had decided to place four of its
contracts for the construction of new
warships with American shipbuilders.
There was some close bidding on the
contracts. The Cramps had a represent
ative in Toxic as did also the Bethlehem
Iron Works, the Carnegie Works, the
Union Iron Works, and others. The out
come of the whole matter is that the
Japanese cabinet has decided to place
four of the ship contracts in the United
States. Two of the new vessels to be
built in this coupntry will be cruisers
and two viii be battleships. Two of the
vessels are to be built by Cramp and
two by the Union Iron Works in this
city. There will be a battleship and
cruiser for each. The contracts for the
armor of the vessels wil be given to the
Bethlehem Iron Works, and the Carnegie
Works. Irving NJ Scott's success in OBJ
tanning two of the contracts Is doubtless
largely attributable to the good impress
sion made on the Japanese by the cruiser
Olympia, model of which Mr. Scott
took with him to Japan. The Japanese
cabinet officers were highly pleased with
the result of their inspection of the new
American cruiser 1t was naturally eX-
pected that most of the contracts would
go to the British shipbuiiders, and the
announcement that four of the new jap
anese fleet will be built in America will
be received in the nature OF a pleasant
surprise.

A late issue of the American Shlpbuiid-
er contains a splendid engraving of the
ship Young America, the fastest and most
word-renowned Yankee clipper ever
built She was launched at New York
in May, 1858, from the yard of William
H. Webb, and was built expressly for
the California and East India trade. She
made many fast trips, the most rapid be-
ing a run from San Francisco to New
York in so days and hours, and from
Liverpool to San Francisco in 80 days.
During one voyage she made fifteen knots
an hour for so hours. and was but days
from so S. in the Atlantic to 50 $. in the
Pacific, which is rounding Cape Horn.
Her last round trip from San Francisco
to Liverpool and back to this port was
made in s months and 10 days. Her quick
est run out from New York to San Fran
cisco was made in 92 days. Some eight or
ten years ago tie Young America was
sold to an Austrian firm who changed
her name to the Miroslay. Shortly after
ward she sailed from Delaware Break
water with a cargo of oil for Ffume and
has never been heard of since. A full
rugged model of the craft is in the pos
session of ]. d. Spreckels e Bros. Co.
who prize it very highly.

you that you've got me to deal with,

are strangers and you aren't aware of
my social position. y
He fumed about for about an hour.
Then the train passed Albany, and the
conductor came around again. He took
the ticket from the hand of the dignified
fat man, punched it again and once
more put it in his maitland absentmind-

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
SOUSA,S CONCERT

SOusa viii this year again break the
record in the length Of his term of con-
cert giving. He begins the current
years season on February 10th, and his
engagements already undertaken bring
him Up to December 18TH or over forty
one weeks Of continuous daily concerts
This embraces a long concert tour of
three months, and engagement of nine
weeks at Manhattan Beach, one of
seven weeks at the st. Louis exposition,
and another concert tour, the last of
which will begin at the conclusion Of
his St Louis engagement, and end in
New York, December 10Th. This en-
braces a continuous series Of daily con-
certs, without a break. II is probab bic
that no band or orchestra embracing
so many people was ever before ten
dered engagements for so prOtracted
season, and it is a wonder how Mr..
Sou5a and his men are able to stand
the strain. They will certainly appre-
ciate their rest when the last concert
is given just prior TO the winter
holidays. The concerts of the band in
this city is one of this protracted series
and will occur at the Auditorium on
Thursday afternoon and evening, May
9. The sale Of re-erVed seats commence
at Z. Vail & Cos jewerly store this
morning at 8 O'Clock. All railroads
leading to Wichita, recognizing the
great merit of this band, have made a
one fare excursion rate for the round
trip in order to give out Of town people
a chance TO hear these concerts. The
demand for seats from all over south
ern Kansas is very large, and intend
ing purchasers should get to the sale
early if they want to secure seats.
