HOBOKEE GETTING TARDY.
One Eighth of Her Children are Late

City Superintendent A. ]. Demarest of the
Hoboken public schools submitted a report to
the Commissioners of Public Instruction In
that city, yesterday, in which he stated that
there were Sl7 cases of tardiness among the
pupils during the month of January. The
number is about one-eighth Of the total average
attendance, which was 6,6S7.
Superintendent Demarest said that he could
not account for the large increase in the num-
ber of delinquents and he suggested that a
circular letter be sent to the parents of the
pupils, pointing out the advantages lost by the
pupils in being late in attending school. The
delnouent list was made up as foliows;-

STRUCK THE VEIN.

While doing the assessment work on the Gold Cord mine in the Clark dis trict T. D. Morris's men uncovered an eighteen inch gold bearing vein which assayed $10O to the ton. The men were engaged in sinking an air shaft back of the old cook house at the Gold Cord when by a mere accident and with never a thought of striking any mineral where they were sinking, this eighteen inch vein was discovered. The shaft was to be connected with the main shaft in the mine and was to furnish purer air, but instead it was the means of disclosing the richest mineral that has yet been found.
 In the Clark district are located some mines which bid fair 10 become among the best gold producers in Ari- zona. The ore is free milling and the main shaft on the Gold Cord is down to a depth of no feet and develops a body of ore of wonderful richness MT Morris has four mines ip this dis trict within a radius of four miles, all of which have been developed more or less. In speaking to the Graham Bulletin reporter MT Morris said: "T will leave for Geronimo Sunday and will start for the Gold Cord mine the next day. I shall at orce make ar engagements for putting men at work and will begin opening up the mine as never before."

Rye After Turnips.

Turnips are the latest crop to be
harvested, and as they continue to
grow after light frosts, there is not
much chance to put in later crop
after them. OF course nothing can
be grown and mature the same season
after turnips are off. But winter rye
will bear to be sown very late if the
land is only rich enough. We have
known rye to be sown late in Novem-
ber and barely peep above the surface
the same year. But it grew little
more during the January thaw, and
the next year made rs good crop, and
rs early also, as rye sown two months
earlier, which made a growth that
covered the ground in the fall. In
each case all the spring growth had to
be made from the root. Where that
is established the richness of the soil
has more to do in making fall-sown
grain ripeu early than does its growth
tho preceding fall.

Apple Pomace as Feed.

There is considerable nutriment in
pomace as it comes from the mill.
Stock will eat it quite readily if fed
before it begins to ferment This,
however, it does very soon if exposed
to the air. Consequently it is best to
place the pomace in air-tight barrels
or hogsheads, so rs to keep mir from
it, and cover the pomace with some-
thing that will hold down the carbonic
acid gas and prevent its escape as it
forms. This is really ensilaging it.
The pomace itself has not nutritive
value to make this worth while. It's
chief value is its succulency, and it
should be fed with grain, hay or meal,
so as to give the proper proportion of
nutrition. When put up in air-tight
barrels aud kept slightly below freez-
ing temperature there will be no more
fermentation in the pomace than there
is in the silo, and it can be used till
late in the winter.

Late Grown Turnips.

There is no crop grown so easily
and with so little cost as late-grown
turnips in field of well-cultivated
corn. The shade of the corn will keep
the turnips from growing much until
the corn is cut. Possibly also their
growth will be checked by the demand
of the corn roots for plant food. But
i'm the Indian summer that follows the
first frost the turnips will make
rapid growth, as they will then have
all the land for their own use. The
tur'nip will endure n pretty heavy
frost, and grow again if warm weather
follows it. But in our climate turnips
cannot be left in the ground all win
ter as they are in England. d.-American

A Mountain Climbing Cat.

The Dent du Midi in the Valais
possesses strange specimen of the
feline. This is a cat which has lately
joined the Alpine club, and whose
mountaineering exploits are theme
for the sparse columns of Swiss news
papers. The cat of the mountains
came upon the scene suddenly, and
no one knows from where. 1t had
already reached months Of discretion
when it took up its habitation and
profession in the mountain hospice,
and it is now to be seen most days at
the foot of the Dent du Midi, not far
from Salanfe. Here this remarkable
tabby comes to meet the mountain.
GERS on their start, and follows them
in their ascent like dog-only dogs
do not as rule show any fancy for
the high Alps. 1t accompanies them
to the very summit, and shares the
climbers frugal fare. Indeed, it is
supposed to be for the sakes of the
broken fragments that the Alpine cat
makes its ascent
Times have been bad for man and
beast in the pouring rains which have
very much dampened the autumn Joy
of the Swiss tourist in the Valais.
Perhaps even the cats find it hard to
make an honest living, but surely to
make daily ascent of 31S5 metres for
the sake of scanty lunch is to take
life too seriously. Or is it that in lordly
contempt of the canine race the ami
NAL means one day to emulate the
faithful hound of st. Bernard? The
cat it has been said, has never been
able to forget that once it was wor-
shipped in ancient Egypt. Here is a
feline which means to equal the no.
blest traditions Of glorious past.

Money is the true king, exclaims
the Philadelphia Record. The smart
scheme of the German Kaiser to sell
the Sultan of Turkey guns and build
him war ships to be paid for out of
the Greek indemnity-thus enabling
the porte to build up its independ-
ence of European control on the basis
of late victories in war and diplomacy
has been nipped in the bud by Rus
sia and Austria. Russia has de-
manded payment of the war debt of
1878, and Austria has put in n claim
for indemnification for later indebted
ness which the Sultan has been
forced to comply with. Thus Ger
many loses fat contracts and diplo.
matte prestige, and the Turks find their
legs tied by debt.

banking Earth Around Trees.

As it is often done, the banking OF
soil around trees in fall to prevent
mice from barking them does more
harm than good. If any sod, weeds
or other rubbish are included in bank
ing up the tree, the object is not only
defeated, but the liability to injury is
increased. The purpose should be to
oblige the mice to climb up above the
snow line and expose themselves to
their enemies while gnawing the tree.
This they will rarely do, for much of
this work is done at night when their
natural enemy, the owl is most watch
full. But if the mice find vacant spaces
around the tree, as they surely can il
sod or rubbish are used, they can
work under this protection with
greater safety than If the tree were
not banked at all Still it is better to
bank young apple trees, at least as
high rs the snow line usually comes.
The warmth from the tree makes a
vacant space in the snow all around
it, and it is under this protection that
most Of the destructive work is done.

Hog manure is popularity supposed
so be very rich, partly because hogs
are always fed on grain or other very
concentrated food, and also because
they are SO neat that they always de-
posit their excrement by itself I'M
mixed with bedding, as will animals
that are generally supposed to be
much more cleanly than the hog. Yet
hog manure is generally slow to heat,
though after fermentation has once
begun 1T progresses very rapidly.
One reason why manure from the hog
is richer than from other animals is
because the hog uses more of the car
bon in his food to turn into fat, and
less of the phosphate and nitrogen to
change into bone and lean meat. No
domestic animal when fattened has so
large proportion of bone as compared
with its total weight as has the hog.

Cherry Trees Standing in Grass.

Our experience with cherry trees is
that they do not require cultivation.
Those we had in the garden were al
ways more liable to rot and to be af-
fected by insects than the trees that
stood in dry places and surrounded by
grass. 1t may be that it is the extra
moisture in the cultivated soil that
predisposes cherries to rot, or it may
he the manure annually applied to the
garden and to which the cherry tree
roots helped themselves freely. The
cherry tree does not do well with wet
feet On high, dry land its roots will
run deeply enough to find all the
moisture it needs, and on such land in
grass is the best to plan cherries for
profitable fruiting.
