Admiral Sicard will not remain much longer
in command Of the North Atlantic Squadron A
week ago The Tribune printed an intimat!on
from authoritative source that. having con-
vened the Court Of Inquiry II was essential for
him to remain duty until he could forward
the findings and evidence ut Washington with
his Endorsement. but quickly following that act
ne would relinquish tho post to officer whose
health would allow him TO remain at sea. Ad-
miral Slcard secured leave of absence the last OF
January, and It was feared ut that time he
would not return to duty. but after week
ashore he suddenly resumed control during the
De LONE excitement. and remained on the Iowa
until few days after the Maine disaster when
he again compelled to go ashore and
his physical strength. He has been losing stead
ily in the last three weeks, and II Is now certain
that he will have TO come TO Washington for
office duty or else go on the retired list. A
Medical Board Of Survey has been appointed to
examine him the last of this week. and Captain

PARRIED 4 CHALLENGE.

A good story is told of young law
yer in this city. One of his first cases
was a claim against a creole gentle
man, who agreed to pay a certain
amount each month. The first of the
first month after the agreement came
and went, the creole gentleman for
getting to remit. The young lawyer
waited several days, and then wrote
a letter. 1t had one virtue-it was
emphatic. 1t was not SO polite as it
hour Of it's delivery to the creole gen
tleman two of his friends called upon
the young lawyer with a message,
which, freely ira nslated, meant, ''You
have the privilege of naming the
weapons"
For a moment the young lawyer
was genuinely alarmed. He had heard
that the creole gentleman was dead
shot and equally fatal with the sword.
He wanted to avoid trouble, but did
not feel that circumstances justified
him in pleading professional privilege
when he had virtually called a man
beat. Then there came to his minb
that he had somewhere read that a
gentleman could not grant duel to
any one who owed him money, and he
naughty said so to his callers.
They instantly withdrew. An hour
passed. 1t was an hour Of anguish to
the young lawyer. Then there came
again the cards of the two friends Of
the offended creole gentleman. A
minute later they were in the lawyers
office, and he had written out receipt
or the full amount Of the claim against
the creole gentleman.
''And now, sir" said the chief sec
ond Of the creole gentleman to the
young lawyer, "what is your answer
to our principals demand?"
ssMy answer, gentlemen, is this: I
formed the hasty conclusion that your
principal did not intend to pay what I
considered a just debt, and I so ex
pressed myself. He has paid the debt.
I recognize the seriousness of my mis-
judgement of him as gentleman, and
beg to assure him, through you, that
I will willingly offer him any apology
which gentleman may see fit to re-
quire of a gentleman"

Cannibalism In Australia.

While the authOresS of GA Flower
Hunter In Queensland saw nothing
but charm in the beauty of the tropical
forests, except as regarded the snakes
and the singing insects and the chance
of meeting a casual crocodile, she
found, alas, no good thing among the
Australian natives. 1t is strange to
think that they are cannibals still, even
close to our towns. At one place where
Mrs. Rowan staid the natives had killed
and eaten Chinaman only few days
before her visit. At another place ''they
told me- she says, ssthat on that very
afternoon high revelry had been going
on in the native camp as they Toasted
off the roasted remains of an old wom-
an, who had been allowed, against their
usual custom, to die natural death the
day before.
Nor are these savages pleasant neigh
bors. A settler at whose house Mrs.
Rowan staid at Somerset, Caee York
the only house for many miles in that
part of Queensland-can still! arm
hundred men, if necessary, and guns
and pistols hang on the walls, ready
loaded in case of sudden attack. This
gentleman gave the authoress some
Spanish dollars, cemented together with
coral, which had been recovered from
the wreck of Warship which early in
this century ran ashore on q reef near
the coast and whose crew were killed
and eaten by the natives. Of such tragic
memories Mrs. Rowan heard even more
in New Zealand, where almost every
hill is the site of an old pah. Every
mountain, headland, rock and island
has some history of its own-some grim
tale of savage barbarity or pathetic story
of love and courage. -

MANURES

1t is true that cropS~of every kind
need the three elements of fertility,
nitrogen, phosphoric acid, and potash,
but different crops need them in vary
ing proportions and different soils
need applications in accord with their
requirements. Prof. III. E. Van
Deman says in an exchange: "Nitro-
gen induces leafy, succulent growth.
This is just what the farmer needs to
make his grasses and other forage
crops grow luxuriantly. The veg
| etable gardener needs the same; but
the fruit grower mustguard against
the use of too much of it. With
large crops of clover or COW peas, or
plenty of rich stable manure, ploughed
under frequently, it will not be neces-
sary to buy any heterogeneous manures,
| such as nitrate of soda, cottonseed
meal and dried blood, forsany kind of
! crop. In such case, phosphoric acid
in the shape Of Dissolved bone or phos-
plate rock and potash in the shape
of muriate of potash, if applied to the
clover or other nitrogen gathering
crops, will make them flourish won
derfully, and in the end, be equally
beneficial to the following crops, I'M
less the clover is cut and sold off the
fern. This should not be done.
''It may not be generally known
that ton of clover hay is worth fro m
So to S12 to pillow under for manure.
Think of this, you farmers, who are
selling your clover hay for less than
these prices, and buying costly fer
tilizers at comparative loss. Rather
instead sell something that is nearly
water, like potatoes, fruits and veg
etables, ard buy phosphoric acid and
potash in their concentrated forms,
and return fertility to the soil along
with that in the clover or peas which
will furnish the needed nitrogen.
There need be little fear of injuring
any class of crops by adding phos
phoric acid and potash to the soil,
provided they are well scattered and
mixed with the earth. But, if prop
erly balanced for each crop, there
will be more economy than in hap
hazard mixtures, and we all know
that economy should be studied on the
farm, much more than it is. The
cereals are especially benefited b
phosphoric acid, becsuse they need it
to make the grain plentiful and plump.
It should be literally mixed into
every grain of manure. Nitrogen viii
make the stalks large and thrifty, and
potash and silicon will make them
stiff and sturdy

PICTURES I'M THE FIRE.

We watch together, but in shade and shine
You see the golden future of your ways
And the light that shone On vanished days.
No, though together eyes and hearts combine,
cannot see your pictures, nor you mine,
Yet as the fire burns low and sinks the blaze
From the cold hearth L turn, a moment gaze
And read our union in those looks of thine.
When on the hearth of life the fire burns low
Wherein our lonely dreams and visions SHINE,
When the last picture sinks with all the rest.
Dear, may turn trustfully as now,
May we as gladly quit the cold hearthstone
And know that loves reality is best.

OUR FARMERS.
TIE PIG PEN.

The turning of pigs to pasture
| should be practiced more than it is,
especially in New England. Many a
| farmers pigs see no more of the green
grass and clear sky than they get
from wallowing in the filth of some
seven by nine pig yard, and as for
being allowed to eat fresh grass it is
entirely unknown to them. This is
all mistake, for nothing will con-
tribute more to the health of the pigs
or to their economical feeding than a
daily ration of green grass during it's
growing season. A correspondent of
Breeders Gazette says: eve know
Of no combination of feeds so eco
nomical, healthful and convenient as
corn, milk or millfeed and blue grass
and clover pasture. The most ex
pensive and least healthful combina-
ton found among farmers is dry corn
in dry lot Or den with such water or
Stops AS no other animal on the farm
will take. Some may think corn is
plenty and low in price, and cannot
be an expensive feed for growing
hogs. If they will compare bunch
of shoats grown on dry corn in bare
lot with those having the run of blue
grass or clover, with half the corn fed
to those in the dry lot, the difference
in size and thrift will be striking.
The value of feed to the stock gro W er
is not to be measured by it's market
value, but by the thrift and growth
that is made with it. Corn Iueal is a
grand feed for fattening pigs, but
very poor feed for growing pigs. It
lacks bulk and can be improved by
the addition of wheat bran or chaffed
clover hay. Prof. Henry in his most
valuable Book on "Feeds and Feed
which shows that pigs averaging rs
pounds each, getting corn meal, gain
ed ITO lbs. each in 100 days, while
those having the cut clover hay
mixed with their meal gained 143 lbs,
or 80 per cent more. Because corn
meal is our best fattening food does
not argue that it is an ECONOMICAL
feed for growing shoats or brood
sows. 1t is not balanced ration,
and is too concentrate. 1t needs the
addition of some such distender as
wheat bran or chaffed clover for dry
feed, which can be used in winter to
advantage. But as soon as grass or
clover or any other green feed is
available it is cheaper and better for
health to let shoats and sows supple
ment the meal or corn with pasture.

A Plant Sacred.

The plant known as vervain, which
is not distinguished for its beauty and
which grows nowadays utterly disre-
garded, was SO sacred to the Druids
that they only gathered it for their
divinations when the great dog star
arose, in order that neither sun nor
moon should see the deed.
