How to Improve a Lawn.

New York Tribune: Lawns can
be kept green and thick
set without the use of stable manure.
City and village people who have a
few square rods of grass, usually i'm

Unlocking manure. when the fact is
that One-half the moneys worth of nj

Health on the Farm.

A few years ago. says a writer in the
Farm and Fireside. I saw a cartoon giving
two views of the effect of country and city
life upon health. 1t was hardly true TO
the facts-cartoons never are-but there
was some unwholesome truth in it. At
10 years Of age the city boy was lank and
pale while the country boy was robust
and rudy. Fifty years afterward the
city boy had developed into a straight
backed man of aldermanic proportions,
while the robust country boy had become
. crooked and rheumatic old man. Farm
ers are prone to disregard the laws of
health. making serious mistakes both in
theory and practice. BY the courtesy
OF a physicians daughter, ! have the
manuscript of an interesting and practical
paper on Health on the Farm" prepared
by her for a farmers institute. and the
privilege is granted me of making eX-
tracts from il. They are practical. and
can be made more helpful tnan anything
tie writer could say.

of crops is cultivated-a few square

Pests as Reformers.

Now, when an orchard is 10 years old,
says Professor L. H. Bailey of Cornell
university in a recent address, a man
ought to know something about it, or
be able to form some idea as to wheth-
er it is going to be profitable and his
remedial treatment should begin then.
In the majority of cases, when an
orchard has not been profitable after
% years he would better give it up.

CONTEMPORARY OPINION.
pEBs THE FOE OF LABOR.

DEBS IftE tOE Of' 1ABOh.
Mr.. Debs has done incalculable harm
to the cause of labor and discounted
the good that The public hoped would
be accomplished at the forthcoming
conference in st. Louis by issuing an
appeal to prejudice and passion. Judge
Jackson's injunctiOns, against which
Debs inveighs with burning wrath, are
unwarranted judicial assumptions
which The whole country deplores, but
which the country does not regard as a
final settlement of the issues involved,
nor as occasion for the belief express
ed by Debs that there is no relief in
the courts"
The people have confidence in their
judiciary, and an assault on that de-
partment of their government is an
affront to intelligence. If the
higher courts have an opportunity,
Judge Jackson's decisions are almost
certain to be reversed, and the miners
given the freest liberty TO indulge in
their constitutiOnally guaranteed right
of peaceable assemblage. The country
realizes that this is the only issue of
far-reaching Importance involved in
The controversy, and it is perfectly will
ing to await its settlement through the
regular channels.
OF course, Debs has not meant to in
fiict harm upon the cause of labor, nor
to hamper the work Of the St. Louis
conference but this is me effect of his
laundering policy. He deserves credit
for honesty Of purpose and sincerity OF
motive, and If with these qualities he
had well-balanced intelligence he
could accomplish results that would
benefit American citizenship. As it is
few people heed his wild alarms, and
thus the force of his appeals is lost

In the matter of sea service for officers
of the American navy on the active list.
The British navy officers are kept in
active service on seagOing vessels al
most continuously until they are placed
upon the retired list. The custom that
prevails in the American navy is to
give an officer three years of service at
sea and three years of shore duty, and
in many cases officers are kept on
shore duty much longer than three
years.

SENSIBLE WORDS FROM ALASKA


Here is what ex-District Attorney
John f. Miller, of Seattle, writes from
Dawson City, to a friend at Seattle, re-
garding the Alaskan gold fields:
There is an enormous amount of
wealth in this country-gold by the
thousands and millions, but il is Just
as hard to acquire here as elsewhere.
Men on these creeks value their claims
at enormous fgures-from one, two
and three hundred thousand dollars
and even higher. The amount taken
out last Winter may justify such valu-
atoms, but, of course, there are no pur-
chasers. You can inform anybody and
everybody intending to come here, that
If they expect to find gold scattered
around at random they will be disap-
pointed. One in this country is quite
a creature of circumstances. If hs
chances to be within reach of a discov-
cry he may stand a show of obtaininl
a claim, but should he be some dis
tance away he stands no chance what
ever.
My advice is If anyone comes, bring
at least years provisions and enough
money to pay passage home. II is NJ
place for a man to attempt to play gen
tleman. Everyone works hard the hard
est Of his life. Don't let the reports o
the great amount of gold going out turl
your head; il all came from the creek
above named and the owners OF tn
claim realize their position too well.
These are sensible words from a sen
sible man, and we recommend their pc
rusal to every Delawarean who medi
tates going to the gold fields. Mr.. Nil
ler's words of warning will undoubted
