POLICE SYSTEM FOR
THE CUBAN CAPITAL
The Block System. Recommended by
Former Chief Mccullough. OF New
York. May Be Established.

NEW YORK. Dec. S--Former Chief Of
Police John Mccullough, who win leave
fore Havana today to advise General
Greene In regard. TO the establishment
Of police system in the Cuban capital,
viii recommend the establishment Of the
block system.
This system is both simple and prac-
tical Said he last night:
1T consists in having policemen sta
toned permanently in sub-stations in the
streets within four or five blocks OF one
another. All the sub-stations should be
connected with the precinct stations by
an independent telephone system.
1T would be impossible for a crime to
be committed or any ac, dent to occur
more than two and one half blocks away
from one of the sub-stations, where a DO
liceman could always be found
Information could be telephoned to
headquarters and sent out from there
simultaneously throughout the entire
city in a very short time, placing the
whole force on guard.
''The chief could sit In his office and be
in constant touch with the entire force.
thus making impossible the delay and
confusion incident to the present system.
The patrolling could be done and the
block system maintained with fewer men
than are now required, and protection to
life and property would be much more
effective.
'lAll the men would have to do their
duty or be caught shirking. Sergeants
and roundsmen could not avoid their
work. as the telephone system would In
dictate their whereabouts"

MINISTER MoNSoN'S
SPEECH FREELY CRITICISED.
Paris Journals Angry over the English
Minister'S Assumpuon-Salisb May
BE Asked to Explain His Conduct.

BE Asked to Explain His Conduct
NEW YORK. Dec S-A dispatch to the
Herald from Paris says;
Referring TO Sir Edmund ], Monson's
speech before the British chamber OF COM
merce, the Liberte says:
M. Del Case will certainly not fail
to charge NJ Paul Cambon. who leaves
today TO take possession Of his post In
London, to ask the marquis OF Salisbury
II 1t is by his order that the British am
bassador In Paris thinks himself author
lied, not only to represent the British
foreign office, but also to direct our for
elgn policy"
GIL Bias says:
''rhe menaeing tone OF the speech will
be noticed, We certainly do not wish to
envenom the quarrel which Sir Edmund
Monson appears to seek. Still, perhaps
We may be permitted to observe that
this tone does not coincide with his dlplo-
matte charge, His mission is a concilla-
tory one. Very well. but the British
ambassador may be permitted to outstep
considerably the rights he enjoys among
US. He is the representative Of friend
ly nation. We count upon NJ, Del Casse's
firmness that tho entire tempestuous har-
angue OF Queen Victoria's envoy receives
the only sanction It merits-that is to
say, the intervention Of London-so that
In the future Sir Edmund will employ
more measured language In France. 1t
IL true that its role Is trying to embroil
France with America"
The Petit Journal remarks:
"Whlle Sir Edmund was in this expan-
slve mood he might have told us what
he thought Of the respectabllity of ma
ton which after having solemnly prom
ised several times to vacate certain
country, establishes herself there with
out ceremony, thus depriving another ma
ton of its secular rights which are en-
haneed by q gigantic undertaking, and
also with the thanks OF nation which
after having boasted alphabetically Of

Notes of tho Crusade Against Rum.


Strong drink is not strong to uplIft; it is
powerful only to degrade.
DR.. Norman Kerr. an authority on in.
ebrlety, states that female drunkenness is
increasing, and that out OF 5000 cases he
found heredity was the cause in half that
number.
Drunkenness is so common that we seem
to be Indifferent to 1t, and yet it Is most
grievous sin, and one that weakens the
conscience and the well, so that other sins
find easy access.
La Nueva Era, established at Ponce
Porto Rico, two days after the occupation
of that city by United States troops, in one
Of its early numbers contained this para.
graph: To the Boys: keep away from fruit
Of every description and rum, II you wish
to keep your health In this climate"
There is one sure guarantee against the
fate Of drunkard, and that is total absti-
nence.
There are so many worries and troubles
in the life Of each one OF us, that 1t seems
utterly senseless for man to fasten upon
himself the habit of drinking, which is Ger.
tainly one of the greatest sources Of sorrow
and disquletude.
Liquor tells you that 1t will do you good,
but the experience OF the many who have
INDUCED In 1t is that it has lied, for instead
OF good In any form 1t has been evil and
evil only. 1t has always been a decelver.
Whatever else you do" says the Haver.
hill Gazette, "don't invite one OF the re.
turned soldiers to partake OF anything in
the shape of alcohol. To a man whose sys.
tenn is debilitated by sojourn in a tropical
climate nothing could be more harraful." "

lightning on the Washington Monument.
One of the best evidences of the
ralue of lightning rods up to date has
been afforded by the Washington
Monument. 1t is capped by small
our-side pyramid of aluminium, which
METAL, so cheap to-day, was very
,ostly at the time of the building OF
he greatest pyramid the world has
>ver known. This aluminium tip is
connected with the ground by four
copper rods which go down deep into
he earth. On April 8, 1885, five i'm.
uense bolts of electricity were seen to
lash between the monument and q
hundercloud overhanging in the
'ourse of twenty minues. In other
words the monument was struck
iercely five times, but it suffered no
lamage whatever. On June 10 Of the
lame year more tremendous assault
vas made upon the monument from
he heavens, and the result was
racture of one of the topmost stones.
The crack still remains to show what
nature can do in the way Of an elec'
rical shock, but the slightness of the
iamage is evidence of mans power to
protect himself from such attacks,
Che obelisk is ideally located for at.

kies, and yet, while many times hit,
I has suffered only once, and that

During the autumn of 1896 1 broke
up thirty acres of wheat stubble about
eight inches deep and left it until
spring, As soon as it was dry enough
to harrow in April 1 pulverized the
top to the depth of about four inches
and planted the field to corn in check
rows. 1t came irregularly on account
of the cold weather, but 1 finally got
a good stand and commenced to pillow
with walking cultivator as soon as the
rows could be followed. 1t was
plowed four times with the cultivatcr,
The last plowing was done about July
/, just when the drouth set in. There
was not visible q handful of weeds in
the whole field and the top soil was as
loose and pliable as one could desire.
Now after one of the severest and
most protracted drouths ever expert.
enced in this country, l am gathering
about fifteen bushels OF corn, most Of il
sound but small cared, to the acre,
instead of fifty bushels, which the same
preparation had given before.
Notwithstanding the small yield to
the acre I feel as though I had learned
a profitable lesson, which will in the
future pay me more than the cost OF
this crop OF corn.
Just across fence from this field !
plowed another that had been in clover
and grass for about seven years. This
field was prepared as near like the
other as 1 could determine and was
cultivated about as well, but I am
gathering only about ten bushels Of
corn to the acre instead of forty or
fifty. 1 really thought this last field
would give the best yield on account
of the long rest. The difference in
the field in fall breaking over the
spring breaking according to my
opinion is wholly due to the packing
Of the soil by the winter and heavy
spring rains, thus enabling the coarse
litter at the bottom of the furrow to
not only absorb water, but to hold il
like sponge and give it out slowly.
The cultivator did not disturb the soil
more than about four inches in either
field, but the litter in the field that
was spring fallowed got as wet as the
other, but being more loose and open
gave the moisture away faster. This
latter field fired badly, but the autumn
plowed field remained green and dried
up gradually. Heretofore I did fall
breaking solely to forward my spring
work, but from now on expect to
break all the corn land I can in the
autumn, believing I can get better
yield any year than from spring break
ing, and some of my neighbors are
doing the same after watching this
field grow during the protracted
drouth.-T. H. Ditts, in Orange

Farm and Garden Notes.
Harvest all weeds before ripe.


Cabbages which fail to head up we'll
should be set aside in the fall for the
hens.
Animals suffer just as much from
the use Of water that is foul as would
human beings.
Fall hatched chickens may be kept
two years for laying with better profit
than those hatched in the spring.
Gather the seeds of vegetables as
soon as ripe. Nothing is gained and
many Of the best seeds are lost by
being left out in the rain and wind.
Let no vegetables go to waste-be.
tween the family, the COWS, the horses
and the chickens, to say nothing Of
the pigs, there ought to be no waste
of green stuff.
Where crops are taken from the
garden the space may be sown to oats
or rye, which will keep the ground
clear of weeds and add to the fertility
when turned under this fall or next
spring.
The maturity of fruits such as apples,
grapes, oranges and pears, may be
hastened by exposing them to com.
paratively high temperatures. This
may be retarded by cold storage at q
temperature of thirty-two degrees
Fahrenheit.

How Liquor Curses Childhood.

"In the winter OF 1871, at tho request OF
the late Earl OF Shaftesbury, carefully in
vestigated my lists OF rescued children.
tabulated in various columns the various
traceable causes, near or more remote,
which led to their becoming candidates for
the homes, and the astonishing fact
emerged that no less than eighty-flve per
cent. of the children who were admitted
to the homes under my care owed their So
clal ruin to the drinking habits OF their
parents, or grandparents, or other rela-
tives / would not now hesitate to al.
Arm that OF all my young clients, the per.
centage who are stricken down In life
through the agency Of the drink curse is
nearer the very large figures given by the
late DR.. Guthrie thanthe estimate l formed
In 1871. DR.. Guthrie stated repeatedly that
no fewer than ninety-nine per cent. OF the
children admitted to his ragged schools
we're the offspring OF parents whose pov.
erty was due to their drinking habits."-
Or. Bernardo, the founder OF homes for
homeless children, as quoted by the Al.
lance News, Manchester, England.
