Little Interest in the Judgeship
Race-Other Matters.

Brunswick, Ca, June 19-The coming
primary for judge of the Supreme Court
attracts but very little attention here. The
vote will be very light. and no one seems
to take any particular interest in the cleo
ton or the way 1t will go. Possibly some
friends of the respective candidates may
get to work before the day set, but unless
they do the chances for either candidate
to get a good vote in Glynn are very slim.
Next Tuesday the knights of Pythias
will celebrate their anniversary by appro-
pirate exercises in the lodge hall. The
members viii be addressed by Rev W. +.
Hollngsworth and Mr.. A. D. Gale. Other
features of the evening will be equally as
attractive, and the knights expect to en-

James T. Colson, principal Of Glynn's
schools, has declined reelection by the
board. Has application did not go In, and
consequently his name was not acted upon.
The position Will be filled later. Supt.
Orr was elected for a two-years' term,

amatuerS the grape Is rarely missing.
Recently in passing near a friends gar
den / noticed him cutting down his
grape vines, and l found >on questioning
him that he had become tired OF giving
room to them, because of the poor re-
turns they made. Further he said that
with the city market 50 near, stocked
with fine grapes from distant places, at
very low prices, there was another good
reason for cutting down his vines. This
friend was cOnversant with all that re-
lares to spraying and bagging, and he
had made up his mind that he would
prefer to cut the vines down. But while
this view may be very well for him to
take, it won't do for all of US. 1t
is not everyone so well situated as he
that can go to a nearby market and get
what grapes are wanted. What vines
we have must stand, and a little trouble
taken to preserve the fruit. Perhaps the
first step will be to plant kinds less LA
bic to injury than others. In a collection
consisting in part of such sorts as Con-
cord, MOOre's Early, Martha, Clinton,
Berckman's, Niagara and Merrimac
found MOores Early by far the most sat
isfactory of all.

Paris green for Insects there is at hand
a something to insure a crop. This is what
is relied on by those who grow the fruit
by the acre, and their success is undoubt-
ed. The spraying starts with the forma-
ton of the fruit and is kept up at inter
walls OF about a month, until three or four
sprayngs have been given. Should heavy
rains follow an application, another spray
ing should follow a once. The amateurs
or one who grows on a small scale, would
find safety In the incasing of the bunch
In paper bag. This, too, is to be done as
soon as poisoning is over, for the fungus
which attacks the berries seems present
from the first, and no time Is to be lost in
putting on the bags. The commonest kind
OF paper bags from grocery store Is all
sufficient. These must be OF a length to al
low Of the development of the bunch. A
good twisting together of the mouth of the
bag is often sufficient to close it, but in my
own work l always supplement the twist
with a pin, which makes all secure Con-
trary to the belief of many, the exclusion
OF light makes no difference In the color
ing of the berries. The black ones are Just
as black as If no bag were on, and the same
Is good of all other kinds; and better than
this Is the fact that being free from the
air, storms, dust, etc, the bloom on the
berries is perfect, adding to their value as
being of more attractive appearance when
on the table.

on an acre. and the wheat has taken but
a few pounds.
And yet on the same land the applca-
ton of fresh lime will have a wonderful
effect at times. This effect cannot be that
there was less lime in the soil than the
crop needed, but to the reaction set up
in the soil by the application of the fresh
lime, rendering the potash and other min
eral elements in the soil available. Lime
hastens the decay and nitrifeatlon of Or
ganic matters in the soil. Hence the more
of such matters that We have in the soil
the more efficient the lime will be. NiLri-
fication Is always more active In organic
matter in the presence of an excess Of
carbonate of lime The microscopic or
ganisms that effect the change of organic
matter Is nitrogen have the wonderful
power that green plants do not possess,
of getting their carbon from the carbonate
in the soil. Now, in order to get this et-
feet of the lime 1t is essential there be
plenty Of decaying vegetable matter in the
soil. Where a short rotation is practical
and plenty of legunes grown, dressing
of lime once in five years will be tound
an excellent aid to improvement.

An Easter Scramble.
ample.

Easter Monday is the great carnival
of the year at Hallaton. England. Then
the e-scramble and bottle kicking
take place. In remote times, says the
author of "Old English Customs" a
piece of land was bequeathed to the
rector, on condition that he and his
successors should provide annually
two hare-pies, a quantity of ale and
two dozen penny loaves to be scram-
bled for on Easter Monday at the ris-
ing ground called Hare-pie Bank, a
quarter of a mile south of the village.
Usually pies of mutton, veal and bacon
are substituted for the hare.
The procession is headed by two
men, who carry two sacks containing
the pies. After them come three men
abreast, each bearing aloft a bottle.
Two of these are filled with beer; they
are wooden bottles. iron-hooped, with
a hole from which to drink. The third
bottle is dummy, and, of course, emp
ty. Occasionally a hare is carried in
a sitting posture. mounted on the top
of pole.
The procession increases greatly in
numbers as it approaches. Hare-pin
Bank, where the pies, which are al
ready cut up, are pitched out of the
sack and scrambled for. The specta-
tors amuse themselves by throwing the
contents of the pies at each other.
Then follows the Hallaton bottle-kick-
ing.
One of the large bottles containing
ale is thrown into the circular hollow
on the mound, and the Melbourne
men" try to wrest it from the Halla-
tonian grasp. A fierce contest then en-
sues, in comparison with which foot
ball scrimmage is mere child's play.
The Hallatonians strive to kick the
bottle to their boundary-line over the
brook adjoining the village, while their
opponents endeavor to convey it to-
ward the melbourne boundary. The
victors of course claim the contents OF
the bottle.
The dummy" is then fought for with
unabated zest, for the Hallaton people
boast that this has never been wrested
from them. The third bottle is taken
in triumph to the market-cross, and
its contents drunk with accustomed
honors. The bottles are carefully kept.
and those now in use have done duty
for more than thirty years.

there must be no climbing or moving
of things in the rooms.
When l blow this whistle you may
all start in different directions and
hunt. AS soon as you find an egg bring
it to the nest and go to hunt for more.
If you find an egg with your name on
it, it is yours at once; but you Will
like it better if you put it with the
other eggs until the hunt is over.
Now"
S-s-s-t went the shrill little whistle,
and away sped one hundred nimble
feet.
What squeals of delight there were
when an egg was found and proudly
brought to it's place in the great nest!
What funny remarks there were over
the first finds
Ned called out, This was an easy
egg!" and sweet little Cathy said
Mine was very hard" for of course all
those eggs were hard eggs!
The little girls got tired first, but the
boys would not stop until the fifty were
found. Then the whistle was blown
and the children gathered about the
| full nest.
Dicks was the last find and as he
was the biggest boy there he counted
to see if there were really fifty eggs.
why, there's fifty-one!" exclaimed
he, and sure enough a pure white egg
lay among the fifty gaily-colored ones
like lily in a pansy-bed.
What a surprise for everybody! How
did the egg get among it's bright COM
panions?
Could any boy have brought it in
his pocket by mistake?
who found this white egg?" asked
the children's friend
"Oh, did," said Dick, "and it was
hard one, too. l saw lots of easy ones,
but as I was the biggest l thought 1
ought to leave them for the littlest
ones. The hunt was almost over and
l thought l shouldn't find single hard
find"
But where did you find it? l hid
only fifty colored eggs" said the lady.
THE whistle was blowing for us to
stop hunting" said Dick, "and hap
pened to notice pussy curled up in her
basket by the fire in the dining-room,
SO l stopped to pat her, and as she
crooked up her back my hand touched
something hard under the cushion in
her basket. 1 lifted it and peeped I'M
der-and there was the pretty white
egg!"
Little Dick was at first troubled a bit,
but soon he laughed loudest of them
all when it was discovered that his
find was a porcelain darning egg!
When later Baby Robin was brought

For many years there has been no
time when pure food bill was not be-

urgency of legislating on the subject is
humorously stated by a Hartford man
who liked some raspberry jam so well
that he asked his grocer to get him the
recipe. The grocer wrote to Boston,
and the Boston wholesaler wrote to
Kalamazoo, and the manufacturers in
Kalamazoo, being assured that the in
formation was for domestic purposes
only, replied that the body of the jam
was tomatoes, the coloring was secured
by aniline dyes, and the seed was hay
seed!

The most selfish act witnessed may
be trifiing matter, expressive of pro-
found disregard of the convenience and
comfort of others. Thus in a London
fog two companions found much as
distance in making their way because
couple in front of them had a Ian
tern. Suddenly voice exclaimed,
Hide the lantern; there are some peo-
pie behind us actually making use Of
our light" In your way through the
world, with the cropping all about you,
do you show or hide your light?

Let me tell you Of some merry egg
downy nest where fifty lovely eggs
cuddled in soft gray moss. When l
first saw the nest it was empty, and oh,
what merry laughter there was as one
by one the pretty eggs were placed
there-not by biddy. She would have
cackled with surprise to see the
creamy brown of her egg-shells chang
ed to bright red and purple and gold.
No, it was fifty pairs of lively feet,
and fifty pairs of small hands that
hunted for the eggs and then brought
them to the messy nest, and this is
how it happened:
"Once upon a time" but not long
ago." there was lady who wished that
all her little friends might have as
much fun hunting eggs as she had
when she was little girl
But she had no barn, no haymow,
not even one hen. In spite of this she
invited fifty small boys and girls at
Eastertime ito hunt eggs in my
housed"
You can imagine how surprised those
children were, and you may be sure
that they were all there on time.
1t was a big house, with five large
rooms on the first floor, and all open
ing into one another so that the chill
dren could go in a circle from room to
room. In the center of the largest
room was low stand, and on this was
the big nest, all covered inside and
out with silvery Florida moss. Around
this were gathered the eager children.
Now, my little friends" said the
lady, somewhere in these five rooms,
tucked away in all sorts of coy corn
ers, are fifty Easter eggs, each having
on 1t in letters of gold the name of
some boy or girl here. No egg is out
Of reach of the smallest child, and
