AGRECULTURE.

To certain extent the grower OF
wheat, corn or cotton might learn les
son from the truck gardener. By diver
styling our crops we not only make more
certainty OF profit, but we tend to pro-
long the growing season. The thrifty
gardener is usually harvesting his first
crop about the time the farmer is pillow
ing for seeding.
In the decomposition of or the burn
ing of all substances gases are given off,
which are taken up by the air, even as
the soil absorbs moisture. Many of
these gases and mineral elements are
just what are needed for the feeding of
plants, and it is wise provision of ma
ture that, they may be made readily
available. Man has but to get the soil
ready.
Let neither yourself nor your boys
think that winter is but season for
idle waiting until the time for sowing
crops comes around again. This would
make the season a time for loafng,
which profits no man. Read, study, plan,
prepare. If possible, have some regular
occupation which will employ your
hands portion of each day, even if it
be but to keep you from getting rusty
and lazy.
The ravages of rats and mice in the
grain bin can be pretty easily counter
acted by any diligent farmer, but the
fly weevil is a recognized enemy of a
more formidable kind. They not only
consume the meat of the grain, but they
mingle the dust with the rest and make
it unstable. The only true remedy for
this and other grain weevils is to treat
them with bisulphide of carbon.
Living in country of vast areas and
resources it is not strange that farmers
should have something of the spirit of
their surroundings. There follows the
tendency to neglect details; but the his
tory Of all lines of business goes to show
that it has been largely by attention to
minor matters that men have been pre-
pared to win success in more extensive
fields.
Asparagus crowns planted three feet
apart sometimes have not enough room
into which to grow. AS all the roots
grow horizontally, they must be planted
about six inches below the surface to
get moisture and food from the soil.
Supplies below them are seldom reached.
If planted nearer the surface they grow
more rapidly, but invariably die,
Although you have concluded that
there is more money in other crops than
in wheat, it may not be best to wholly
abandon the cereal. We know that it
is one of the very best grains with which
to seed clover, and sometimes the differ
ence between good and poor seeding
of clover will amount to more than any
possible loss on the wheat itself.
During the depression market garden
ers have had rather the best of the bar
gain, and have suffered less than most
other classes of farmers. This is not
because there is so much profit in the
business, but because he raises such a
variety of products at all seasons of the
year that the failure of one does not ruin
him

ELIZABETH FRY THE QUAKER
HEROINE.
BY REV. A. A. THAYER, D. D.


TNLIZABETH FRY, is the most
IL beautiful character in penal his
tory. AS moral force in the evolution
and amelioration of the condition of
prisoners,s she takes rankwith the Ital
ian Marquis Beccaria, and the English
John Howard. Of all women in the
world who have tried to soften and
elevate the condition of the unfortu-
nate of her sex, Elizabeth Fry stands
at the head. Outside of all the re-
sponsibilities and privileges of
throne, which is usually great by the
wisdom of its prime ministers, Mrs.
Elizabeth Fry was one of the great
est and best of womankind. Few in
deed have lived so near the great pat
tern for mankind, the Lord Jesus
Christ. And like him she became il .
lustrious through moral greatness
rather than intellectual strength.
Our Lord said, "How hardly shall
a rich man enter into the kingdom of
heaven" But they do, sometimes,
even on earth, and rich women too.
Some great reformers whom | might
name were wealthy people, and
had fortunes of their own. And they
accepted great hazards in doing good
unselfishly. Prisons and jails of all
descriptions, in those days, we're in
such unsanitary condition that the
benevolent visitor must risk his
health and life in attention to the
prisoners. John Howard died of a
contagion caught that way. Mrs.
Fry was refined, cultivated, and ed
ucated lady of Independent fortune.
At what a sacrifce-as the world
prizes life-she gave her sunny and
elegant presence to the dark, un-
wholesome, repulsive habitations of
suffering and crime. She found it
more blessed to give than to receive.
o, how such a woman, in the estima-
ton of saints and angels, shames the
place-huntersl The fitting butter
flies who sail about to. make a show
in society, who wish to see and be
seen, who think it more blessed to
receive than to give, are exceeding
light weight in the sight of the au-
gust assemblies which look down up
on us-who weigh and measure us at
our own true value.
Mrs. Fry was the idolized daughter
of a wealthy London merchant.
They were Quakers. She was very
beautiful as we'll as rich in her own
right. She idolized her mother. She
came into public life by degrees
through preaching the Gospel among
her Quaker friends. As a preacher
she was so charming and persuasive
that doors were opened to her in all
directions. She expounded the
Quaker doctrines and made converts
from the North OF Scotland to the
South of France. "Her preaching
seemed to melt alike crowned heads
and criminals in chains" She would
have become by far the most noted
woman preacher of the world had
not her sympathies drawn her more

BRAVEST BATTLE EVER FOUGHT
BY JOAQUIN MILLER.

The bravest battle that ever was fought!
Shall I tell you where and when?
On the maps of the world you will find it nc
Twas fought by the mothers of men.
Nay, not with cannon, or battle shot,
With sword or nobler pen,
Nay, not with eloquent word or thought,
From mouths of wonderful men.
But deep in walled-up womans heart
OF woman that would not vi Id.
But bravely, silently bore her part
Lo, there is that battlefield.
No marshalling troops, no bivouac songs;
No banner to CLEAN and wave;
But oh! these battles they last so long
From babyhood to the grave!
Yet faithful still as bridge of stars,
She fights in her walled-up town
Fights on and on the endless wars,
Then silent, unseen-goes down.
o ye with banners and battle shot,
And soldiers to shout and praise,
tell you the kingliest victories fought
Were those in these silent ways.
o, spotless woman in world of shamei
With splendid and silent scorn.
Go back to God as white as you came,
The kingliest warrior born!

The President was requested to ap-
point committee Of three, to include
himself, to confer with the Capitol Park
Commissioners at their next meeting,
with relation to the construction of a
sewer on Thirteenth street, through
the park, to connect with the pipes al
ready laid on L and N STREETS. He ap-
pointed Messrs. Mckay and Bentley.
The resolution of intention to i'm
prove the alley between H and l,
Twelfth and Thirteenth, was rescinded,
as the property owners wish to pave 1t
with cobble stones, and new one was
passed in accordance with their wishes.
One was also passed for the improve
ment of the alley between / and j,
Sixth and Seventh streets, and one
for improving J street between Second
and Third, with asphaltum- A resolu-
ton for putting in sewer in the alley
between M and N, Eighteenth and
Twentieth streets was adopted. as
well as one for improving D street,
from Tenth to Eleventh, with macad-
am; also one for macadamizing the al
ley between N and o. Eighth and Ninth
streets.
One for macadamizing the alley be-
tween N and o, Fifth and Sixth, was

property on the alley and did not feel
able to pay for its Improvement just
now. Kent also moved to have the mat

interested as agent for a property own

man wished the Improvement
Tozer said the alley was bad in the
winter and Devine and Kent said it
was one Of the best in the city.
Kent's motion was defeated and a
motion to lay it over for a week was
also defeated, as was Devine's motion
to lay it over till spring. 1t was finally
referred to the Superintendent Of

PUBLIC LAND SYSTEM.
Lecture on the Subject by Charles r
Gardner.

An interesting and instructive lee
ture was delivered before the
Young Mems Christian Association
last evening by Charles F. Gard
ner, Receiver of the United States Land
Office for this district, on THE Public
Land System Of the United States"
Mr.. Gardner, by reason Of his long
connection and association with the
land departments Of the Government,
State and railroad, was enabled to pre-
sent the subject to his audience In a
specially attractive, pleasing and prac-
teal manner.
After a short premise he entered at
once upon his subject. Let us sup
pose" said the speaker, that one Of
this audience, whom for convenience
we will designate as Jones, has deter
mined to leave Sacramento and locate
a home on the public domain. The first
question for Jones to determine is in
what portion Of the country will he set
tle." The speaker then pointed out how
vacant lands could be ascertained
through the aid of township plats, hav-
ing marked thereon LANDS taken" and
Those not taken" These plats are to
be obtained at the various United States
Land Offices at prices ranging from a
dollar upward
The ground that Jones' determines
to locate upon having been selected, the
next question that presents itself to
him, said the speaker, is how and un-
der what law shall he proceed to ac-
quire title to the land? Mr. Gardner
then spoke somewhat in detail of the
various provisions of the homestead,
desert land, lieu land, school land, rail-
road land and mining laws, and pointed
cut briefly and intelligently the method
or procedure under these various Acts
This showed how Jones' could acquire
title to a tract Of land embracing some
2,761 acres.
The speaker also spoke Of the valu-
able lands open to settlement, and
stated that If a person was willing to
get off the lines Of transportation there
is still plenty OF good agricultural tim
ber grazing and mining land left for
him to settle on.

THERE ARE OTHERS.
But Professor Lillian ScOoped In q
Fow Suckers.

There are quite a number OF stage
struck persons In Sacramento, both
male and female, and If reports go for
anything a number Of them are feeling
very blue, both because Of the loss of
what they considered a sure chance to
exploit their talents and also of quite
collection of dollars at about the
ratio of fifty to one-$50 to each en-
bryo actor or actress.
During the past few weeks q very
plausible man has hunted out these
parties, representing, SO 1t is said, that
he intended to organize a theatrical
troupe, composed of local talent, which
would be sure to make a hit. He wanted
to secure actors, bill-posters, advance
agents, ticket sellers and doorkeepers
galore, but he wanted to be sure Of his
people before engaging them
He did not desire a company who
would leave him with the dawn of
homesickness, and while he was willing
to engage people he required them to
good-faith money.
The men secured for agents, advance
and otherwise, took the bait as readily
as the prospective actors, and when the
promoter Of the scheme, A. ]. McKeany,
number Of deposits from credulous
citizens he decamped, letting it be un-
derstood that he was going elsewhere
to make arrangements for launching his
new company upon the stage Of sue
cess.
But he never came back" and yes
terday A. Williams, who represented
that he was one Of the parties who had
DGGn retained to act agent and
who had deposited his $50 as voucher
for his good faith, visited police head
quarters and swore out a warrant
charging A. j. McKeany, alias Pro-
fcssor Lillian, with having obtained
money under false pretenses.
AS 1t was believed the alleged conf
dence operator was in San Francisco,
the warrant was dispatched TO that
point, and it is expected the much
wanted man will soon be captured.
Williams stated that three others
besides himself had been promised posi-
tons as agents and were buncoed out
of the deposit money, but he did not
know where the bolts had struck in the
ranks of those who imagine themselves
