We often do not appreciate the worth
Of thing until we have lost it. The
farmers who own the large tract Of land
in Essex which was in November last
flooded by salt water owing to a break
down Of sea wall, may think of this
adaee when they ruefully look at their
sodden ground. The despised worms,
by their constant borrowings, kept the
land well drained; but when tile sea
food came they were all killed, and sea
birds had a great feast. That land,
measuring about $4,000 acres, is still
in a spongy state, and is likely to re-
main so until the farmers friends-the
worms-have had.tim to recover their
lost position.

Many tons of hay have to be stacked
out Of doors, because Of scant room
within the barns. Many of these stacks
are wholly, or in part, spoiled from i'm
proper building. A platform should

middle of this, to give steadiness to the
stack, particularly to It's upper part
and to afford an attachment for ropes
that should run from the point Mt the
top down the sides, to keep the hay
from blowing off. Under these ropes

A COW giving a large quantity of milk
has been slaughtered, and every drop
of milk has been gathered up. and the
largest amount ever found was about
four quarts; hence, milk is largely
made during the time of milking; and
the cow must be placed under favora-
BILE conditions Mt the time, or you do
not get the regular quantity Of milk.
Do not think that the milk Is already
there, and all you have to do is to draw

PHILADELPHIA, April 9.-The big dou-

lying at the League Island navy yard. an

The delay is due to several breaks in her

is found
The latest one discovered is break in
a cylinder of the engine that controls the

Refused to Discuss Condition of At
fairs In Havana.

Lieutenant Commander Richard VAIN
wright, executive officer OF the Maine,
rived III the city this morning and reported
his return to the Secretary of the Navy.
Commander Wainwright was the last Off
Ger of the Maine to leave Havana. Ever
since the terrible disaster of the 18th OF
February he has been in active charge of
the wrecking operations on that Inflated
ship, and ne was not recalled to Washing
ten until it mad been finally determined to
abandon all further attempts to raise the
wreck and to recover more OF her gums and
equipment.
Commander Wainwright kept himself in
secluslon most of the day, and denied
himself TO all newspaper men who sought
fis views IN regard to the cause of the
explosion and the situation in Havana
at the time OF his departure. There is an
impression among naval officers that Sec
reiary Long proposes to compliment COM
-nander Wainwright by giving him the i'm
pcrtant assignment OF chief Of the bureau
of naval information winch carries with
it ex-ofiicio membership ON the naval
stratesetic board charged with the formula

Why the Adula Was Given I'm,

The State Department has given UP the
idea of chartering the steamer Adula. which
sails from Kingston, Jamaica, tomorrow,
for trip along the southern coast of Cuba
to pick up Americans who might desire to
leave.
1t was thought that this cancellation OF
the Adula's trip might be significant in in
dicating that the State Department regard
ed the situation so improved that there was
no need of removing Americans from Cuba
1t appears. however, that there is no such
significance in the move.
The plan of having the Adula make this
trip was agreed upon some days ego. 1t
turned out, however. that the Adula was
very slow, making only eight knots an
hour. so that 1t would take her a fun week
to call at Guantanamo and other points
along the Cuban coast.
At the same time General Lee advised the
State Department that he had made other
arrangements by which Americans could
get away from the island. The State De-
partment. therefore. determined to give up
the trip Of the Adula, and General Lee and
the United States consul at Kingston were
notified accordingly.

quarters the view Is entertained that it
gould be moral not material, influence ex-

How Senator Burrows Regards 1t.
Senator Burrows remarked that he had
heard the rumor of the queens intention
to make final effort to avert war, but ne
was not aware that any dispatch on the
subject had been received from Spain in the
past twenty-four hours. He said that if,
however. a complete armistice is actually
proclaimed, to cover a period of. say, thir-
ty, sixty or ninety days, contemplating the
cessation of hostiIities, it might present
new and important phase of the situation
confronting the country. For he sug
gested. lit would mean a recognition of
the belligerency of the Cubans. an official
admission of the existence of war, and It
is to be borne in mind that the object of
our intervention is the procuring of peace.
Now, are We justified in going into war
under the circumstances when one of the
parties offers to lay down its arms, and, as
to the bona-fide intention of such decree,

country and ask if it means what it says

present crisis, and it might not
Something Expected From Spain.
Despite the undoubted fact that nothing
had been received from Madrid at the
White House up to a late hour this after
noon changing the outlook in any way,
more than one public man who saw the
President gave expression to the belief that
at the last moment the Spaniards will at
tempt something to change the intentions
of President Mckinley and Congress. The
belief of one senator was that Spain would
yield all by Monday.
If she did not DO this, he thought, she
would put forward some proposition to
attempt to complicate the situation. and
put new aspect on affairs. She is playing
row for the sympathy OF the European
powers, and will try to gain that by re-
sorting to any scheme.
