From La Petit Gironde.]
Poor Spain is having hard time of it
just now. All sorts OF misfortunes are
crowding in upon her. First came the
explosion in the Cambios Neuvos in
Barcelona, which plunged the entire
population into the most profound
amazement and put great number OF
families in mourning. Then came the
great rains of the past winter, which
seriously damaged the crops of the
richest provinces, Aragon, Navarro,
Catalonia, etc. The rains were soon
followed by burning and premature
spells of hot weather, which completed
the ruin. The phylloxera also took
hand in this work of destruction, and
caused great damage TO the vines.
Then, after the water, came the fire.
The terrible cOnfiagration of Rueda, in
the province of Valladolid, destroyed
600 houses and brought misery and
total ruin upon thousands of honest
workmen.
Now the political plague is raging.
Hundreds of republicans have been
Iona, on information more or less cor
rect, which, just as in the days of the
inquisition, creates the deepest dis
trust, even among neighbors. All this
is capped by the war in Cuba, which
is wasting SO many millions and so
many lives.
When will this horrible nightmare
come to an end? When will the measure
be full? When will there be surcease
of so much mourning and misery?
The roads are crowded with poor
people travelling from one province to
another, each one carrying, like Bias,
all his earthly goods in a sack; one or
two old shirts, pair of trousers, a
blouse and few potatoes or other
vegetables taken from the fields that
border the roads. In this way they
tramp along with heavy hearts, bag
gard and emaciated, worn out by suffer-
ings, seeking relief one day from
charity and the next day from theft
Every day brings new professions OF
wretched wanderers, knocking at each
door and begging for bread. The sight
is heartrending.
At the same time the situation OF
those in authority is grave. The gov
eminent does not know what to do
Reinforcements of 10000 men are need
Ell in Cuba. They will be supplied
Agencies of a more or less suspicious
character are working with energy for
that.
But a big sum of money, twenty
millions, they say, viii also be needed
The government has studied the means
of procuring it, but the cortes refuses
to adopt the proposed measures. It is
easy TO see, therefore, that the difficult
ties are great, both above and below
Wretchedness is all around Among
the lower classes it is moral The pic
ture is dark enough without wantonly
making it darker
When will all this come to an end?

The triumphal tour OF the Star base
ball team to Maui ended with the ar
rival of the Claudine yesterday morn
ing.
The boys left here by the Kinau on
Friday and arrived at Malaae bay
about O'Clock Here they were met
by delegation of the Maui club and
escorted by teams across country. The
Star team divided up and spent the
night with friends in Wailuku, two of
them, Carter and Ross being enter
tanned at Haleakala Ranch by w. F.
Pogue, returning to Waikiki in the
morning in time to. take the special
train for Kahului, provided by the
Kahului r. r Co.
The grounds were crowded with peO-
pie and the game was closely contest
ed. The Star boys were placed at a
disadvantage owing to their not being
familiar with the grounds. Instead of
being level, as the League grounds are,
they were rough and uneven and COW
cred with a high growth of grass. I'm
der these conditions fielding was diff
cult, but when it came to fly balls the
Star boys were found underneath.
The feature of the game was Percy
Lishman's foul catches. Of the seven
captured by him one was long way
off from his base, but he ran down
among the carriages in time to get it.
Owing to a disagreement among the
Maui boys, all of the team selected to
play did not take part, several LahaIna
men Withdrawing. 1t is believed by the
Star players that if the original team
had played fewer runs would have been
made. 1t was rumored that the La
haina contingent would send chal-
lenge down to the Stars, but it is
doubtful if it will be accepted to play
away from Honolulu, as the boys do
not think it right to ask for another
vacation.
The treatment accorded the Stars
during the trip is pronounced by all
to have been excellent. Every pro-
vision was made for their comfort and
enjoyment All the expenses after leav-
ing the steamer were paid by the Maui
club, and as the Wilder S. S. Co. made
special excursion rates from here, the
expense to the local players was slight.
Following are the names of the play
ers:

PREVENT POTATO scAB.

Care In the Selection OF seed and Land
tho Two Prime Requisites.
Experiments relating TO potao scab
show that IL will infect turnips, beets,
and possibly other root crops, catch
ing from one kind to another. Scabby
seed win produce scabby crop. and
land where a scabby crop was grown
this year will produce scabby crop
next year. Barnyard manure increases
the disease, hence, TO prevent scab, plant
healthy seed on clean land and use
commercial fertilizers. If scabby seed
must be planted, first soak them an
hour and half in 5 gallons of water in
which "a ounces of corrosive sub
Innate has been dissolved. This will
cost 25 cents and will treat enough
seed for five acres. Soak seed before
cutting, and wash dirt or before soak
ing.
The sublimate is strong poison and
roirndas metals: hence mix in a wooden
vessel and exercise great care. Put the
mixture in barrel and dip in bushel
ut time in a loosely woven sack, and
spread out TO dry. The Rhode Island
station confirms above points and adds
two years tests there prove conclusive
~ that lime and ashes eggrayate POI
tato scab, which constitutes n serious
objection to their use on potato lands.

Hncts 20 Be Remembered by Those I'm
trusted with Making Them.
How TO make q good country road Is
problem of widespread interest. In
large areas of the country. common
earth roads win have to answer all
purposes for some time to come. In q
recent number of the Pittsburgh Dis
Iatch. Mr.. John NJ. Durn describes a
pinn he has followed .or several years
with entire satisfaction. as follows:
Cut the bitches down three or four
feet lower than the roadway, use a
two-horse scrapcr 70 curve the surface.
and the natural forces set in opera
zion will do all the rest. The water
drains out OF the body Of the roadway.
the mud surfnce dries and toughens
as IL dries, the scraper fills all ruts
and cuts away all vegetation, the sun
end air dry hornhard surface; rain
storms simply wash II off clean. AMI
In nm hour or so after the rain II 10 as
hard as before. / present IL as tbs
most effective solution of the prob
lem OF making good country roads with
little expense.
"The greater portion of clay roads
(probably 90 per cent? are in front
OF farms and owned or rented by people
who do not have the money necessary
10 macadamize tstone) them. They
really cannot afford 20 do SO, and IL
il really TO their assistance / desire
to direct these thoughts. This is such
a simple matter and 30 thoroughly ef-
fectiye that i desire you to consider
the analysis. The existence OF the open
ditch with clean bottom gives water
chance to drain out of the body of
the roadway and run away. The tough
mud worked up by hoofs and wheels
becomes tougher and more compact
as II drains from below and dries from
above.
"The scraper drawn by two slow draft
horses attacks the surface when suf-
ficiently dry, all loose stones are moved
into the wheel tracks, everything is
moved towards the middle OF the road-
way. no vegetation remains between
the wheelways and the bitches, travel
oompacts the still damp material in
its new position. A rain may soften
some Of IL again. So much the bet
ter. The scraper trims IL smooth again.
and about the third time the road is
smooth. hard, compact and dry. IL
sheds the water of a htorm, because OF
its curve, and especially because OF
solid, impenetrnble surface of tough,
dry material. Thus IL remains and acts
until frost sets In. III the freeze-up is
rapid. the road Is all right and remains
so. If alternate freezing and thawing
takes place il will roughen up some
what, but the bitches are at work and
very little water can remain in the road
way. and the road don, get bad enough
TO speak Of.
1T takes water and clay to make
mud. Get the water out as soon az
possible. The bitches do that, and IL
is no longer in the roadway, therefore
not much mud. 1t has been very
interesting study TO me, and / have
watched IL in ali it's ,arying phases for
MANY years"

Our communities should awaken. to
The fact that road construction Is a
science; that good roads cannot be
built on the haphazard guess OF an In
experienced Individual: that the mere
placing and compacting OF broken stone

and workmanship; that workmnnship

~ may be, II the design has not been

ccrned. never permit anyone TO go into
