Theodore Roosevelt on the Attitude of
Harvard Professors.

Cambridge, Mass, January 6-The
Harvard Crimson has received lest er
from Hon. Theodore Roosevelt in VIII ich
he says 1T have seen the newspaper
statement that various professors and
students of Harvard have urged through
your columns that Harvard graduates
and undergraduates should bring such
pressure as they could upon senators and
congressman to prevent their unfolding
the honor and dignity of the United
States by supporting the President and
the Secretary of State in their entirely
proper attitude on the Venezuelan ques-
ton. [ earnestly hope that Harvard will
be saved from the discredit of advising
such course. Let no one pretend that
the present VeneZulan crisis does not
come within the strictest view of the
Monroe doctrine. England's pretensions
in this case are wholly inadmissible. The
stock jobbiDg tinlidity, the Baboo kind
of craftsmanship which is clamored
for at this molDeut by the men who put
monetary g in before national honor or
who are still intellectually in state of
colonial dependence on England, would
most assuredly invite war. A temperate
but resolute insistence upon our rights
is the surest way to secure peace"

MR.. BAILEY,

Democrat of Texas, said: eff the Secre-
tary of the Treasury would exercise the
option with which the law invests him,
no sale of bonds would be necessary
But if the governments option is to be
surrendered to note holders, and in conse-
quence, the bonds must be sold, then IL is
certainly better they should be offered to
the public than sold secretly to syndi-
cate of bankers. I am not, however, over
confident that the people generally will
snDscribe for them. Few men have got
gold boarded and the banks will not be
anxious to reduce their deposits by fur

Onions for Seed.

In growing onions for seed a strict
system Of selection with a view to the
development Of an ideal type should be
followed. For punching onions, bulbs
Of the potato onion or some Of the white
or yellow varieties, planted generally
in the fall in trenches four or five
inches deep, at distances of three to six
feet, are used. The bulbs are pulled
and punched early in the spring. Sow
ing the seed in September or October is
also largely practiced in raising bunch
onions For sets the seed is drilled in
the spring in moderately fertile soil,
free from stones and weed seeds at
the rate Of fifty to sixty pounds All
acre, the object being to secure crop
Of very small bulbs OF uniform size.
These bulbs should be thoroughly dried
to render them dormant before stor-
ing. The Barletta variety, seeded at
rates of from twenty-five to thirty
pounds of seed an acre, is recommend
ed for the production Of picking onions,
which should be from three-fourths to
one and half inches in diameter.

Black Satin Coats the Vogue.

"Black satin is a material in vogue
for coats" writes Isabel A. Mallon in
the November Ladies' Home Journal,
land upon the coats made Of it lace rib
bon and all rich decorations run riot.
The design most in vogue for satin has
q close-itting bodice with an attached
skirt, this skirt being formed Of the
trimming. A typical black satin coat,
which is given in Illustration, is fitted
to the figure, but has in the center Of
the back and just in front a few soft
folds 1t is cut so that it extends two
inches below the hips, where it arches
slightly, and it is then finished with
frill of heavy black lace that reaches
almost to the knees. Wide, dropping
revers Of the satin are OVERLAND with
cut jet, while at the neck is folded
collar Of the satin with large faring
bow in the back. A similar bow, but
somewhat larger, is at the back at the
waist-line, and from it come two long
satin ends that are drawn over the hips
to the front and are loosely knotted so
that they fall far down over the lace.
With jet bonnet as its adjunct such a
coat may be worn with simple skirt,
which must, however, be black, and the
effect Of very rich and elaborate COS
tune will result

When to Cut Wheat.

The time to cut wheat is at a given
stage of growth rather than at any
any particular date, and the practical
farmer has long since reached the con-
clusion that it is better to be day too
early than day too late. Experiment
station investigation confirms this prac-
teal view. The Nevada station has
just issued bulletin giving the results
of cutting at different stages. The con-
clusion reached is that when cut in the
dough, wheat will make larger yield
Of -four and smaller yield of both
shorts and bran than if cut when fully
ripe. The straw also is Of greater
value While it is probable that the
actual yield Of grain is slightly larger
when the straw has become harsh and
rattles in handling, yet the loss from
shattering will usually be greater than
the increase in the qua nifty of wheat,
and when it comes to be milled there
will be an absolute decrease of the
amount Of -four from given weight of
wheat, and an increase in the by-prod-
ucts, shorts and bran.

Pecans and PersimmO ns.

A great deal has been written about
planting soft-shell pecans and making
a grove that in ten years would pay
good profit. But Mr.. w. w. Lyon Of
Glenlyon Grove on Lake Minnehaha,
has discovered much more speedy
and profitable way to get pecan
grove. Three years ago he secured
some fine pecan CRAFTS from near Punta
Corda and put them into few big
hickory trees on his place, and this
year he has q fine crop of delicious
pecan nuts, few Of which I mail you
for examination. Now here is money
crop, easily grown and gathered and
marketed, that becomes its own culti-
vator, etc., at the end of three years
and without mishaps, producing each
year a fine crop Of soft-shell pecans.
These CRAFTS PASSED safely through the
late freeze, SO there is no danger from
that source. Mr.. Lyon has also had re.
markable success in grating some Of
the choicest Japan persimmons on. his
common persimmon trees.-Jackson-

An old custom was revived by the
Perces Indians and their visitors dur
ing the celebration on the Fourth of
July. The natives of the local tribes
are very wealthy people, and there are
designing mothers among the aborig-

somewhat like the scions Of nobility in

The tribes which were revived for the
occasion were more effective than the

The marriageable maidens were by

wanted wives to share their annuities,

The young men marched forth and
none but candidates for matrimony
Joined in the march. They were all
dressed in their brightest colors, and
each carried a white willow cane. AS
they approached the tents they chant
ed an Indian chorus that was doleful
as the song of the owl, and kept time
by beating upon the tents with their
canes. The drumming was deafening
to the distant spectators and must
have been distracting to the waiting
maidens in the tents. At last the sing
ing and drumming had the desired ef-
feet. The maidens came forth, after
delay just long enough to satisfy that
universal passion of the mind Of
woman to drive a lover mad with
doubt. There were more men than
maidens. The former kept UP the
march and the music without. The
mnidens countermarched on the line
of the same circle, each selecting a
husband from the line. The chosen
ones fastened to follow their brides
