Hired Webster for n Week.

OF course Webster was in demand
for those who could afford to pay for
his services. A sharp Nantucket man
is said to have got the better of the
great defender of the Constitution in
an amusing way, however. He had a
small case which was to be tried at
Nantucket, one week in June, and he
posted to Webster's Office in great
haste. 1t was a contest with a neigh
Dor over a matter of considerable local
interest, and his pride as litigant was
at stake. He told Webster the partic-
ulars, and asked what he would charge
to conduct the case. why" said Web
ster, you can't afford to hire me.
should have to stay down there the
whole week. and my fee would be more
than the whole case Is worth.
couldn't go down there for less than
$1,000. / could try every case on the
docket as well as one, and it wouldn't
cost any more, for one case would take
my time for the entire week, anyway"
"All right, Mr.. Webster" quickly re-
sponded the Nantucker. Here's your
$1,000. You come down, and I'll fix
it so you can try every case. Webster
was so amused over this proposition
that he kept his word. He spent the
entire week in Nantucket, and appear
ed on one side or the other in every
case that came up for hearing. The
shrewd Nantucker hired Daniel out to
all his friends who were in litigation,
and received in return about $500, so
that he got Webster's services for moth
ing, and made a good profit to boot.
If that man was alive in these days OF
trusts and syndicates, he would prob
ably be at the head OF legal trust,
controlling the services Of all the big
lawyers Of the CONTRADICTION Her

The Russian declaration Of neutral
1ty has one important statement not
usual in such cases, as follows: "The
disagreements which have recently
arisen between Spain and the United
States Of America have induced the
imperial government to seek, In con-
sent with the other powers. some
means which might prevent an armed
conflict between the two countries. I'm
happily, our friendly measures are
without results and state Of war now
exists between Spain and the United
States. 1t is with keen regret that the
imperial government witnesses armed
conAict between two states to which
1t is united by old friendship and deep
sympathy. 1t is firmly resolved to OBJ
serve with regard to these two bellig-
'erents a perfect and impartial neutral
ity."

The statement that our national en-
'blem is fashionably used for yacht and
hammock cushions has been going the
rounds of the newspapers, with but few
to say 1t nay. A young girl who re-
Gently gave yachting party rallied
her guest Of honor. a boyish ensign, be-
cause he took an uncomfortable and
isolated seat on the bow. Really"
he answered, laughing, II have punch
ed the heads of so many sailors for get
ting their heels accidentally mixed ~
in the flag that can not sit on 1t my
SELF" And he was right. The Stars
and Stripes are to be raised aloft, TO
ibe wrapped around dead heroes, to be
saluted with pride and reverence; not
TO be made into chair seats. nor to
,drape bargain handkerchiefs, nor to
fly from the bung of whisky barrels.
Against such common prostitution of
our flag, each one Of us, like the young
officer, can make personal protest.

Prepare for Melting season.

The greatest care must be taken TO
keep fowls in good condition during
the molting season. II is drain on
their vital powers to furnish the ma
terial for a full coat OF new feathers.
There Is apt TO be a laxity OF atten-
ton to their feeding during this pc
Rod on account of their cessation OF
laying. when, In fact, there should be
more care taken. 1t Is a good plan 10
select all the fowls that II Is desired
to winter or keep for breeding ana
market the balance. This VIII cut
down the expense of the noting sea-
son. Hens which will mott early II
they are in good condition and COM
fortably housed will nearly always
make the best winter layers, while the
later molters will rarely lay until
spring. These latter should have a
place where they can keep warm and
dry and be given an abundance OF nu-
tritious food. The period OF Noting
may be shortened by careful attention
and a supply of food rich In muscle,
bone and feather forming materials
rather than fat making foods. Always
provide pure. fresh water and keep
the quarters clean. Wheat. oats, lin
seed meal, bone meal. meat scraps and
fresh ground bones make better food
at this time than corn or anything
that may be considered fattening ra-
tion. While it may not be best to feed
the chickens all they will eat, in near
ly all cases liberal feeding and the
supplying of good variety will be
found the most desirable thing to do.
The hens need to take sufficient exer-
else to be healthy.-Feather.

Under the coast-signal system,
which has been adopted by the Navy
Department, 1900 men will patrol the
Atlantic coast from Bar Harbor to CAL
weston, night and day, in all weather,
watching for the approach OF an en-
envy or a signal from passing United
States warship. All these watchers
can communicate in the course OF a
few minutes by telephone or tele-
graph instruments stationed at short
intervals with the Navy Department at
Washington.

Coal OIL on Trees.

CONDENSED from Farmers Review stem
ographic report of Illinois State Horti-
cultural Convention)
Some one asked II the scale on the
leaves In the fall would affect the trees
the following year. Prof. Davenport
said: The scale will die, for in the
spring 1t must be attached to some
thing from which II can draw food.
AS II cannot change It's position, when
attached to a dry leaf 1t must die, as
there are no juices there to sustain 1t.
Mr.. Morrill-Michigan has been
passing laws In regard to the scale
and has given the inspector full power
70 destroy all trees that are infested.
AT one place he found an oak infested,
and he had 1t promptly burned. Now,
as to use OF oil on trees. A year ago
at this convention we heard men tell
OF pouring coal oil on trees and not
hurting them, and 1t looked as If 1t
were not harmful. Some time after
that we got an order for special noz,
zles made very small and that could
be used for spraying with coal oil. We
made them so small that they would
only throw mist. We wrote the
people that had ordered them that we
believed they would kill every tree
sprayed with kerosene. They replied
that 1t did not make much difference,
as the trees were no good as they were.
and they would try the kerosene any
way. l saw man from that locality
recently and he said they had killed
10000 peach trees by the spray.
Mr.. Hobbs-There is much differ
ence in trees about that. Peach trees
will not stand coal oil; but apple trees
Will stand spraying with kerosene IL
the air be dry.

Malt Sprouts.-Malt used In beer
manufacture is prepared by moistening
barley and allowing 1t to sprout. The
sprouting produces a ferment called
diastase, which changes starch into
sugar. After the formation of the d.
sstase, which requires a certain num-
Der OF days, the barley is dried, and
the sprouts removed by machinery and
sold for cattle feed. The barley is now
termed malt.

Evaporated and Dried Fruit.-The
Virginia station has reported expert
ments on various means OF utilizing
low-grade apples which, it is estimat-
ed. constitute 40 per cent OF the an
nual crop in that state. Considerable
quantities of this fruit are at present
sun dried, but 1t is believed that the
use OF evaporating apparatus would
be much more economical. The cost
of manufacture in either case is about
8 cents per pound of finished product.
The evaporated fruit as a rule sells
for about 6 cents per pound and the
dried for only 2h cents. The amount
OF evaporated fruit per bushel OF ap-
piles was found to be about &C. pounds.

Sorosis recently discussed the sub
feet, according to the New York Even
ing Sun, Art; it's relation to nothing
in general and to goodness knows what
in particular" There is an honesty in
that title which is so interesting that
one has no curiosity with regard to the
discussion. 1t is a sufficiency unto It
self. The political discussions Of Soro-
sis have had no such charm and, we
feel sure, not half as much information.

Mixed Feeding.-We hear a great
deal said about feeding this kind OF
grain and that kind of grain. Some
say feed whole wheat and some say
feed corn. Some would Use barley and
some oats. All are right and all are
wrong. 1t is mistake to attempt to
feed any one or two grains. The d.
gestive organs of the hen require a
mixture. Some of the food should be
light and some heavy. So we should
give a variety. This will relieve the
strain on the gizzard and other parts.

Hens that have never learned the
trick OF flying over the fence can be
easily kept inside a four-foot wire
fence, provided 1t have no top rail.
When the trick Of flying over has been
learned, cut the wings and you may
stop It.

The military drill in our public
schools is a great help to the work of
disciplining an army. Add to 1t the
experience in war that we had thirty
years ago, and the work of the ma
tional guard, and few days suffice for
an army ready for action. 1t took
months in 'sixty-one to accomplish the
discipline that is now to be had for the
asking. and our standing army amounts
60 a mere handful. Every school ought
60 give the military drill and informs-
tion. That amounts to our standing
rrmy, and II is the best and the least
expensive In the world.

when Officials Fight Proposed Law They
Arc Necessarily Corrupt.

st. Louis. Jan. 3l.-The jury in the Ii
bel suit of Char,es +. Stark against The
Republic rendered verdict in favor Of
the defendant. Stark was the attorney
of the old school board, which was leg
islated out of existence last winter The
Republic charged that the boards at
torney was at the head Of a corrupt
lobby at Jefferson City opposing the re-
form measure. Stark brought suit for
damages.
In his instructions to the jury Judge
Spencer clearly laid down the doctrine
that when a public corporation or pub
lie body employs an agent to influence
legislation il transcends its powers and
commits an unlawful act, which justi-
fies the criticisms that it and its agents
are engaged in corrupt lobbying. The
Republic had refused to compromise or
take advantage of technical tactics. but
met squarely the issue on the ground
that it had told the truth and was justi-
fled in so doing.
