The horse bean, aleguminous plant,
is grown quite extensively in England
and ON the continent. The bean, when
green, is used in those countries for
human food, being prepared in much
the same way as the green pea in this
country. 1t is said to be quite pal
atable and very nutritious. When
mature the bean is ground, and fed
very extensively to all farm animals.
1t has been thoroughly tried by
many of the experiment stations i'll
our Northern States and in Canada.
1t develops normally till it begins to
blossom, when the blossom is attacked
by small fly which very seriously in
terferes with the formation of the seed.
The plant will grow from two TO three
feet high, and serves exceedingly well
for green manuring, but cannot be
recommended for seed production On
account of the insect pest it should be
turned under when in blossom. 1t
is very succulent and decomposes
rapidly in the soil Horse beans
should be sown in drills eighteen
inches apart, and manured with pot
ash and phosphoric acid, but very
sparingly with nitrogen.
The white lupine is also a valuable
plant for green manuring. II should
be treated in the same way as the
bean, with the exception, not being
troubled by the fly, it can be allowed
to develop as far as late blossoming
before being plowed under
The horse bean can also be used as
a nitrogenous green feed, but the soy
bean, medium green variety, being
more leafy, is 10 be preferred. The
cowpea is also a very valuable nitro
genous crop, and would probably sue
eeed better in the Southreu States.

Precipiees in the Himalayas,

There is one remarkable peculiarly
of the series of Himalayan ranges be
tween the vale aud Kasmir aud the
central Asian atershed-they are one
after another cut right across by
ridges, The reason for this is that the
rivers were there before the ranges
were formed, and as, by the crinkling
of the earth's crust, the ranges were
raised, the rivers cut gorges through
them aud maintained their flow.
Manga Parbat is part of the true and
principal Himalayan range, and its
summit rises to the stupendous alti.
tude above sea level of 26, $50 feet
Close TO its foot not more than ten
miles in horizontal distance from the
peak, the Indus flows through a desert
gorge, and here the height above seq
level of the river bed is not much above
5000 feet.
1t is easy to conceive from these fig
ures on how vast scale natures
architecture is set up. L have never
been down this part Of the Indus
gorge, but a friend of mine who was
there told me that the path along the
side of the gorge is in places perilous-
ly narrow and carried across precipic&
of such appalling character that at one
point a servant of his who lost his
footing fell mile in vertical height,
and was, of course, smashed to atoms.
One side of Manga Parbat sinks TO
this gorge by series of ridges and
ravines-that is the Chilas side. The
other two sides of the mountain, for
it is on triangular base, are likewise
defined by long valleys, one of which
is filled by the great Tarshing glacier

A reorle wlth No Gorernment.

The English explorer, Harry de
Windt, recently returned TO London
from the Siberian shores of Bering
strait. In q short time he will leave
England for lecturing tour in the
United States. The Tchuktchis are
nominally Russian subjects, but the
only vessels ever in the neighborhood
are American whalers and the United
States revenue cutter. Mr.. de Windt
had an enforced sojourn of two months
among the natives.
He says they are physically n far
finer race than the Alaskan Esquimaux,
and their women are better looking,
but the Tchuktchis are wholly devoid
of morality, and will barter wife for
a handful of tobacco. They number
altogether about 5000 and along Ber-
ing strait are seven settlements of per-
haps 800 each. The others are scat.
tered along the seaboard of the Arctic
ocean, stretching away to the settle
ment of Mini Kolymsk.
The most weird Tchuktchi ceremony
is the "Kamitsk. This is simply the
putting to death, with their free con-
sent, of aged or useless members of
the community. When Tchuktchi's
powers have decreased to an appreci-
able extent family council is held
and day fixed for the victims depar-
ture for another world. Perhaps the
most curious feature is the indifference
shown by the doomed one, who takes a
lively interest in the proceedings, and
often assists in the preparations for
his own death. The execution is pre-.
ceded by feast, where seal and walrus
meat t'are greedily devoured and villain.

The rramp,s "Di.tlllery. ;.

Prompt action and the movements OF
these lasg few years toward driving away
New 1o-k's long-established army OF
tramps have done much to blot out Of ex-
istence the worst Of these places. Some
still remain, however, on the outskirts OF
the town, over toward the river front, and
they are curious enough to be well worth a
visit from those who do not mind touching
elbows with rough and unpleasant company.
There was year or so ago-and the place
is certainly still In existence, though its
unique custom may have changed-a dis
tillery" in the "gas- house district" a
region between Fourteenth and Twenty
third streets, and east of Second avenue,
which had fame among tramps from here
to Chicago. IL was situated on dark,
badly-lighted street which was not safe to
travel after nightfall Originally II had
been n stable, and had come to be a groggery
of the lowest type.
Barrels Of spirits lined its walls and the
single gas Jet overhead made dark corners.
The interior was gloomy in the extreme,
and for n purpose. Customers were not
encouraged to lounge about there, as Is the
rule in the ordinary saloon. What was
wanted was for n man to pay over his
money, get his drink and 60.
Few besides the average "hobo" of the
road and the street ever came there. For
the better-dressed men there were glasses
and 'ten-cent drinks" but this class OF
trade was not wanted. The tramp with a
nickel In his grimy FIST was the animal this
"distillery" catered to.
When the shambling wretch stood before
the little counter, the one word OF the man
behind ii would be. "Pricel' The coin be-
ing produced and thrown into drawer the
proprietor would hand over one end of a
length OF hose. The other end rested in a
barrel of whisky Of the worst sort under
the counter. The rule of the "distillery''
was this: The tramp could pull upon the
hose until his mouth was full. That con.
stituted his drink. 1t must be done with
out swallowing, however. At the slightest
indication of an attempt to swallow the
hose would be jerked away, and another
five cents must be paid for even single
drop more.-New York Tribune.

A Use For the English sparrow.

There is no longer any doubt about
the mission of little pestiferous English
sparrow, says DIR. Miles. The doctor
says lie has four acres of tobacco near
his barn, where the birds nestle, the
worming of which has not cost him
anything this year. These little birds
do this laborious work free of charge
for the love and affection they have for
the worms, with which they feed their
young. He claims that there were four
acres more, off from the house and out
of reach of the birds, which had to be
wormed once veek.-Marion Is. c.,

This story is told OF Scotch Highlander,

OVERCOME BY POISONOUS GAS.
c. H. Davis Meets Death Through "A
Peculiar Agency.

c. II. Davis, a young man who lived at
No 334 Broughton street, east, died yes
terday afternoon about O'Clock. HIS
death is believed to have been due 10 his
having become poisoned by the inhaia-
tion Of acid gases. That is the opinion OF
the relatives OF the young man, though
one Of the doctors attending was not ready
TO state the exact nature Of the trouble.
Davis was a machinist, and day before
yesterday he went to the works Of the
Commercial Guano company TO take po-
sition he had secured. His work was to put
in some shafting. It was stated by his
brother that the young man was unfa-
Ui.iar with the danger attendant upon
work a. the plant, and neglected to wear
one of the respirators that the other work
men considered advisable.
It was after he had been at work for
some hours that Davis began TO feel the
effects Of the gases he had been inhaling.
He became weak and his voice began to
grow husky. He got weaker and weaker
and finally decided he would knock of He
Left the works, which are west Of the city,
and started TO come in to his home. He
had not walked very far before he became

ground.

and offered to assist him. The young man
replied that he would like to have some
one from the city come out for him with
vehicle He directed the bicyclist to 90
to a certain drug store where he could

his aid His message was faithfully and
quickly delivered and D. J. Kiley drove

tinct and it was only at times that his
relatives we're able to understand frag
ments of his speech. DIR. Orear was
summoned and saw al once that some
pulmonary trouble had reduced the pa
tient to a dangerous condition. He did
all he could for him, and later Dr. War
ing and Dr. Dunn were summoned to as
sist in the treatment Of the case. Every
thing possible was done for the young
man, but without avail. 1t was thought
up to about an hour before the end that
the patient had improved.
A brother of the young man said last
night that he had always been of rather
delicate constitution, and subject to lung
troubles. This brother did not think,
however. that the death was due to the
standing trouble, but rather to the er-
fects of the acids of the fertilizer works.
He said he had heard from some of the
men who are employed at the plant that
the work is dangerous. He does not
know on which floor of the building his
brother was at work, but says he learns
that the upper floor is regarded as the
more likely TO injure the health of occu-
pants. The gases rise from the lower
floor to this floor and render it danger

talked of union between the Merchants
National Bank and National Bank of Sa-

There was one gentleman yesterday.
who wanted to make a wager of 81. 900 or
any part thereof, that there would never
be any consolidation. He based his con-
cluson on the statement that it will re-
quire the votes of three-fourths of the
shareholders in both banks in order to eff
feet consolidation, and he does not be-
heve that this number of votes can be Sc
cured.

the market was about ssh but since that
time it has risen until now 96 is bid. while
something like 100 is asked. The talk of
the consolidation appears to have had the
effect of bringing the Merchants National

subject is being entered into by the north
