GOOD INTENTIONS.
RY MARGARET E. sANGsTER.

The wonderful things we have planned, Love,
The beautiful things we have done.
The fields we have titled. the gifts we hav
willed,
In the light of another years sun,
When we think of it all we are baffed,
There's so much that never comes true,
Because love instead of our doing,
We're always just meaning to do.
The friends we are wanting to help, Love,
They struggle alone and forlorn,
BY trial and suffering vanqulshed.
Perchance by temptation o'erborne;
But the lift. and the touch, and the greeting.
That well might have aided them through
The perilous strait of ill-fortune,
They mss;-we're but meaning to do.
We dream of fountain of knowledge,
Weloiter along on its brink,
And toy with the crys alline waters,
Forever just meaning to drink.
Night falls and our tasks are unfinished,
Too late our lost chances we rue,
Dear Love while our comrades were doing,
We only were meaning to do.

HORTECULTERE-

In planting muskmelons, the prime
requisite is rich, moist soil; not dam
and soggy, but moist. No other manure
equals that from the pig pen. for this
purpose. as trial with fertilizers will
show. Do not elevate tbs hills; let them
be level with the rest of the ground.
that there be not such tendency TO dry
out
A good mulch is indispensable in the
strawberry patch; it checks evaporation
and saves it for the plants. Freshly
stirred soil, which is so requisite in the
corn and potato fields, is the poorest of
mulching for Strawberries, and will give
you disgustingly dirty lot in rainy
season.
Coal ashes make a good mulching
material for gooseberries and currants.
Where gooseberries, especially. are ex-
posed to the sun, they should be pro-
tected by mulch all around them. AL.
most anything will do for the purpose
if put on heavily enough. Other small
fruits would be likewise benefited.
Peach trees trained to take on a low
growth produce more fruit of better
quality, and they better resist dry
weather and disease. Such trees shade
the ground more thoroughly around the
trunk, and the foliage protects the fruit
on the lower branches from the fierce
sun. Moreover, the fruit can be picked
more easily.
Horticulture, when followed intelli-
gently, gives better returns upon the
capital employed than almost any other
branch of agriculture; but it is a bust.
ness for careful, thoughtful ], industrious
men. and for such only. Guess work
and half way methods will Away bring
disaster.
Manure should be hauled upon the
orchards in the fall or early winter, so as
to get the advantage OF the rains which
fall. If hauled earlier and plowed under
it only makes the subsoil dry, unless
enough water penetrates to the roots to
rot the manure. Only wet manure can
help fruit trees.
The Virginia creeper and the Japan
ese honeysuekle are good vines to plant
on banks or ia any situation where it is
desirable TO keep the earth firmly in
position. These vines root as they grow,
forming thickets of green. They ca n
often be made to take the place Of ex-
pensive sodding.

Born at Sea.

1t is the common belief of English
sailors that all persons born at sea
legally belong to the parish of Stepney
one of the most inter sting of the old
London parishes. There was an old
rhyme which declared:
He who sails on the Wide sea
Is a parishioner of Stepney.
This belief gained such ground that in
1913 a magistrate of the county of
Chester removed a vagrant from the
parish of Stockport to Stepney on the
simple ground that the man was born at
sea. When the matter was contested
by the oyerseers of Stepney, Lord Ellen
borough the judge, spoke OF the transfer
as great blunder on the part OF the
magistrate" and the man was sent back
TO Stockport.

Shakespeare never took any trouble to
hand himself down to fame and posteri-

writing only as the sun shines and the
winds blow, because it was the work he
was created for, he dashed off those
marvellous productions. and when they

tribunal be in oil cases binding? To
these questions Lord Salisbury and Sec
rotary Olney give different answers.
Both agree that tribunal shall be
constituted by the appointment of ar
bitrators through judicial officers Ct
each nation, the arbitrators thus chosen
to select an umpire to settle disagree
ments; and that certain classes of
questions, such as complaints of one
power against the officers of the other,
pecuniary claims for small amounts,
diplomatic and consular privileges, and
rights of fishery, access, navigation or
commercial privilege shall be submit
ted to arbitration, and that the results
shall be binding.
But with reference to more impor-
tant questions, and especially those
which involve territorial claims, there
is wide difference of opinion. Secre-
tary 0lney's view is that ali questions
should be submitted to arbitration, UNI
less expressly withdrawn by the action
of our congress or of the British parlia-
ment; and that, when once submitted,
the awards should be binding upon both
parties.
Lord Salisbury cannot agree that the
awards of the tribunal in cases of ter
ritorial claims shall be binding without
appeal. He would make 1t possible for
the defeated litigant to appeal to Sec
ond tribunal, constituted Of three SUI
preme court judges Of each nation, and
the award of the tribunal should be
binding only II made by q vote Of five
to one. Or he would have the award OF
the first tribunal subject to rejection by
either power within three months.
The situation which the correspond
ence discloses is that of two nations
working in good temper toward a plar
of arbitration, but widely at variance
upon the form Of plan. The differ
ences are serious, but they do not ap
pear to be hopeless.

The crown travelled all over Europe,
but it was never broken or robbed of it's
jewels, after the manner of other mi
grant crowns.
Then some one buried it, and nearly
all the inhabitants of Hungary began
to see in their dreams the place where
the crown was hidden.
When, in the middle of the fifteenth
century, the reign of the Jagellons came
to an end, Queen Elizabeth, of Hungary,
pledged the crown to a petty pawn
broker in Vienna for $500 guldens ia
gulden is 40 cents), schillinge and 27

OLNEY AND SALISBURY.
Both Are Working Toward Inter-
national Arbitration.
Although at Present They Are Widely at
Variance Upon the Forms of the
Plan, Their Negotiations VIII
Terminate in Success.

The published correspondence be-
tween the United States and the British
governments regarding arbitration
shows what progress has been made and
what are the obstacles in the way of sat-
isfactory results.
The correspondence, says the Youths
Companion, relates both to the Venezu-
ella boundary, and to arrangements for
a treaty of general arbitration. In both
instances the two governments differ as
to what shall be included in plans of
arbitration.
AS to Venezuela, Lord Salisbury in
sists that occupied territory, by which
he means territory that was occupied in
good faith by British subjects January
/, 1887, shall not be subject to the de-
cision of tribunal arbitration.
The British proposal is that there
shall be a commission of four - two
British subjects and two citizens of the
United States-which shall investigate
and report upon all questions of fact
concerning the rights of Spain and of
the Netherlands, respectively, at the
time that Great Britain acquired Brit
ish Guiana. If the governments of Great
Britain and Venezuela, on the basis of
this report, are not able to agree upon
boundary line, each of them is to NOM
mate an arbitrator and these two
third, and the three are to constitute
tribunal of arbitration. The boundary
line drawn by this tribunal is to be
binding upon both countries, with the
important proviso already mentioned,
that it shall not give to Venezuela any
part of the territory which has been set
tied by British subjects.
Secretary Olney points out three OBJ
jections to this proposal: First, that
the commission of four might be equal
ly divided in its opinions; second, that
no provision is suggested for determine
ing the existence and good faith of Brit
ish settlements in the disputed terri
tory; and, third, that under the pro-
posed reservations, if the tribunal
should award certain territory to Vene-
zuela, it would depend upon the caprice
of Great Britain whether or not she got
it.
There are other difficulties. What
questions shall go before the proposed
tribunalP AND shall the awards of the

Saves . Train from Mexican Bandits
After a Desperate Fight.
Inquiry has been received at st. Jo-
seph, Mo-, from the office of the United
States consul at Juarez, Mexico, concern
ing James +. Howard, young man
well known in st. Joseph, who is report
ed to be lying unconscious in hos
pital at Juarez, with two bullets in his
body.
Private kilograms received state that
the other evening Howard started from
Juarez to the City of Mexico. A short
distance out of Juarez he became in
volved in a difficulty with several Mex
leans, who attempted to assault him.
In desperate fight that followed he
shot three of them dead and escaped,
though himself badly wounded. Later
the same night, although almost faint
from loss of blood, young Howard
saved the Mexican Central train south
bound from q wreck, apparently
planned by the gang of Mexicans with
which he had fought. He had learned
that some one had removed the rails
Il half mile ahead, and as the train
turned a curve some distance away,
Howard set fire to his coat. and, as best
he could in his weakened condition,
waved the flaming garment across
the track.
The signal proved effective. Howard
was taken aboard, and just before he
lost consciousness was enabled to tell
the trainmen of the condition of the
track. The train proceeded slowly, final
iy coming to place where the rails had
been removed for two lengths and
placed across the track. Robbery was
evidently intended. Howard has been
unconscious since then. He had been
shot in two places and dangerously
wounded. The Mexican Central officials

Albinos are curious freak of nature

race, but also among several species Of
animals. Museums have shown pure
white horses, dogs, stays, deers, hares,
