opERETTA AND DANCES.

Thursday night the operetta, "The
Miracle of the Roses" under the man
agement of Misses Pauline and Ada
Mosby, was given at the town hall, in
Wsrrentou, for the benefit of the Cath
olic Church. 1t was almost unanimous
ly pronounced the most successful thing
of the kind ever given in Warrenton.
The house was crowde' !, and before the
opening scene very brilliant and stir
ring music from Ell Captain was played
by the charming pianist, Miss Charlotte
Nelson, accompanied by Professor
Louis Weber, of Washington, on the
violin, and Mr.. Thomes Frank with tho
cornet.
After the operetta Norwegian peas
ant dance, from THE Kirmess," was
given. Those who took part were:
Misses Lucy Stone, Mary Forbes, Janet
Johnson, Ada Mosby, Landon Hicks
and Messrs. Jim Johnson, Albert and
Hugh Fletcher, Lewis Brooke, and
Clarence Utterback. Their costumes
were beautiful and the whole effect wss
brilliant. The evening closed with a
Greek dance from "The Kirmess," in
which Misses Virginia Payne, Georgia
Green, Charlotte Nelson, Emily Forbes,
Cassie Sewers, Pauline Mosby, Bessie
Flynn, and Rosa Tongue took part.
This was, perhaps, the most artistic
performance of the evening. The dig
nity of the dance and the loveliness OF
the dancers were enthusiastically com
mented upon.

THE HORSE SHOW A FAILURE

A dispatch from New York says /:
New ..York's annual horse show, the
twelfth its kind, opened here yester-
day with every evidence of decline as q
fashionable function. The deaths in
the Four Hundred, the fast sinking of
the borse in the wild orgis of dress and
parade, and the woeful lack of origi-
nality in management, have all combin-
ed to lessen the importance of the
present exhibition. Though generally
display OF fashion aud clothes, New
York's former exhibitions were popular
because they were based upon the love
of the horse. They pleased those who
were able to cultivate horses and under
stood them. AS from year to year the
exhibitions descended luto rendezvous
for the wealthy and fortunate, aud
horsehesh took second place, the ex-
hibition began TO decline. In recent
years it has been largely sustained by
people who knew and cared very little
for the horse. The result is that true
horsemen have cared less and less
about the event. This waning interest
might have been kept up by originality
in the class exhibitions had some been
shown. But as it is, the exhibition Of
one year is only s counterpart of the
one that preceded it. The same tire d
steeplechasers vaulred over the sBme
gates, the same high steppers were
pranced into the arena, and the same
ignorance of riding aud driving was on
exhibition from year to year. For the
present week the show will absorb the
attention of those who attend the opera
without appreciating music, because the
opera is the thing. But it doesn't seem
as if the show would become really of
great Importance, without a decided
revolution in the management.

In a farmers bulletin Issued by the
Department OF Agriculture. Prof. W. II.
Beal says that barnyard manure Is
probably the most efficient means al
the disposal OF the farmer. 10 perma-
nently improve his soil. No other fer
tilizer possesses TO so great a degree
the power Of restoring worn soils 70
productlvcness and giving them last
ing fertility. II accompllshes this re-
suit, however. not 80 much by the aeiu-
al fertilizlng constituents which Il sup
plies as by improving the physical
properties OF the soil, increasing the
amount OF humus. which IS generally
deficient In worn soils. improving It's
texture and increasing It's water alb
sorbing and water holiing power. Ex-
periments have shown that the iniiu-
ence OF manure may be perceptible
twenty years after application. OBJ
servations at Rothamsted. England,
during forty years on barley nnman-
ured. MANFRED continuously, and man
ured during the irst twenty years. only
showed that there was gradual exhaus-
ton and reduction OF produce with
out manure. and gradual accumu-
lation and increase Of produce with the
annual application o. barnyard man
ure. But when the application was
stopped, although the effect Of the resi-
due from the previous applications was
very marked. II somewhat rapidly d.
minished. Notwithstanding that calou-
laton showed an enormous accumula-
ton OF nitrogen as wen as other COLI

Q-How can the insects troublesome
TO the apple be overcomeg
A.-The round-headed boror can be
kept from the trees by placing a cylln-
der Of wire netting around the base Of
each tree. The damage done by the
lnrvae Of the codling moth can be less
cned by spraying the trees just after
the blossoms fall. with a solution Of
paris green. one pound OF the green to
two hundred gallons Of water. A sec

spraying should be given before the
weight Of the apple bends the blossom

done before the blossoms fall, for fear
OF poisoning bees and honey. II too
