CATS IN UNCLE SANS NAVY.
Government Makes a Regular Appro.
printiOn for It's Jack Tar Pus-
sies-SOme Gone to Manila.

When Maj. Gen. Merritt sailed from
San Francisco he asked the govern
ment authorities for three cats to take
to Manila. Probably the trio of Amer
lean felines are now teaching Yankee
habits to their misguid fellows of
the islands, for it was Maj. Gen. Mer-
ritt's intention to send them ashore
when he landed. The cats came from
the commissary depot in San Fran
cisco, and their progenitor may be
seen there any day, busted among the
barrels and boxes or doing lazily in
some snug corner.
1t is not generally known that the
government spends several thousand
dollars annually for the maintenance
of cats, but the accounts of the United
States depot commissary prove it. In
every storehouse there are from one
to five of the animals. and their ra-
tons are provided as carefully and
regularly as those of any of the gal
liant soldiers.
They are not fed on scraps, nor are
their individual tastes disregardrd, as
are those of the enlisted men, but they
are allotted so many pounds of choice
beef or any other delicacy their pal
ates may desirel Of course they may
have as much aame as they wish, and

THE FUTURE OF ALASKA.
May BE Slapped Of All Resources and
Then Thrown Away Like
Sucked Orange.

Under the present conditions when
the sea otter are destroyed, the fur
seal herd eXterminated, the native
tribes starved to death, the salmon
rivers depopulated. the timber cut, and
the placer gold fields worked out,
Alaska is to be thrown away like a
sucked orange. There is no other pos
sible end, if we continue as we have be-
gun. We. are mot in Alaska for our
health" and when we can no longer
exploit it we may as well abandon it.
But it may be argued that it will be
a very costly thing to foster all
Alaska's wide-separated resources.
and to give good government to all her
scattered villages and posts. Further.
more, all this outlay is repaid only by
the enrichment of private corpora
tons, who, with the exception of the
fur seal lessees, pay no tribute to the
government.
Doubtless this is true. Government
is costly thing, and it's benefits are
unequally distributed. But the cost
would be less if we should treat other
resources as we have treated the fur
seal. To lease the salmon rivers and
to protect the lessees in their rights
would be to insure d steady and large
income to the government, with
greater profit to the salmon canneries
than comes with the present con.
fusion and industrial war.
But admitting all this, we should
count the cost before accepting "col.
onies." 1t is too late to do so when
they have been once annexed. If we
cannot afford to watch them, to care
for them, to give them paternal rule
when no other is possible, we do wrong
to hoist our flag over them. Govern
ment by the people is the ideal to be
reached in all our possessions, but
there are races of men living under
our flag as yet inca pable of receiving
the town-mee citing idea. A race of chill
dren must be treated as children, a
race of brigands as brigands, and
whatever authority controls either
must have behind it the force of arms.
Alaska has made individuals rich,
but the government has yet to get it's
money back. But whether colonies
pay or not, it is essential to the in
tegrity of the United States itself that
our control over them should not be a
source of corruption and waste. 1t
may be that the final loss of her
colonies, mismanaged for two cen.
turtles, will mark the civil and moral
awakening of Spain. Let us hope that
the event will not mark civil and
moral lapse in the nation which re-
ceives SPANS bankrupt assets.-David
Starr Jordan. in Atlantic.

ORCHARD MANAGEMENT.
Begin In Small Way and Increase
Acreage rs Fast as Results
Will Justify 1t.

If you cannot find time to trim that
apple orchard all that is required, be
sure and cut off those water sprouts
that are growing on the body and
limbs; also all sprouts from around
the body and near the surface Of the
ground, remembering, as a rule, that
fruit trees that are full of water
sprouts have wet feet, that is, the land
needs draining, and in such places the
blight is worse. All these take Just so
much from The trees that ought to go
to the fruit, and the growth of proper
limbs to form fruit buds. In cutting
limbs from trees, saw from underside
partly first; this prevents splitting and
peeling the bark. Cut up to the collar
formed around the limb; do not cut
into it or out beyond it, but just to it.
Do not calculate on getting good crops
every year unless you feed your trees
with manure or by scattering plenty of
straw under them, says writer in
Horticultural Visitor. What is better:
let fowls and hogs run among them;
the fowls will destroy the bugs and
worms, and the hogs the stung fruit
preventing the worms in them from
maturing to lay further eggs Do not
undertake too much. We know people
who are successful in growing small
patches of fruit and garden truck and
getting the biggest returns, who would
make a fizzlc if put on so or 100 acres.
Also farmers who make success and
a good income on the amount invested
from a 40 or S0-acre farm that would
make an entire failure if beginning on
300 acres. Begin in small way and in
crease your '. ork as fast as your knowl-
edge will merit it.

MOVABLE PLANT PLATFORM.

often moves the plants rather than run
any risk. Where the windows are
large, reaching from floor to ceiling, ac-
commodating a number of plants, this
moving is quite a task. Most plant
stands of the stepladder sort are not
easily turned, hence the plant and flow
ers all grow toward the window.
A stand Of the kind portrayed here
has been found to fill the bill. Nail
smooth boards on three cross pieces
of rafter timber, making a strong plat
form the width of the window and
which should extend out into the room
four feet. When casters are screwed
into each of the four corners it is just
the height of the window-sill. about
one and onc-half feet from the floor.
The flowers do not darken the window
while they all get share of the sun.
One can enjoy the blossoms from the
interior of the room; and looking down
upon the mass of foliage and blossoms,
it is like flower garden in the ROOM

He Kept the Samples.

The London correspondent of the
Birmingham Post says: News reaches
me from an authoritative source in
Paris to the effect that the large or
ders for war material which Prince
Henri d'Orleans stated that he had
obtained from the Abyssinian Emperor
Menelik have now been definitely coun-
fernandez. AS matter of fact, the
orders, which were reported to amount
to something like a quarter of mil
lion sterling, were not absolutely
given, Menelik and his advisers merely
contracting to accept on approval.
The result, therefore, is that all the
specimens sent out from France to
Shoa are waste, as Menelik refuses to
give them up, and regards them in the
nature of presents from the prince,
to the great vSSation of that person
age and the firms for which he had
acted"

RABBITS AND MICE.
How 10 Protect Fruit and shade
Trees Against Their Attacks,
at Small Expense.

The frequent injuries done by rab-
bits or mice in girdling fruit and other
trees has led to perhaps more expert
ment than the injuries done by any
fungous disease or insect pest. Long
before the practice of spraying came
into vogue we find orchardists discuss
ing this or that method of combating
these foes, or of repairing the injuries
done by thcm-mounds of earth or of
tramped snow around the trees; plant
ing cabbage to serve as food for rab-
bits; wrapping the trunks with wired
lath, paper, tarred paper, corn-staiks,
cloth; covering the trunks with
manure-plasters, fats, axle-grease,
blood, whitewash, tar and other sub
stances supposedly obnoxious to mice
and rabbits, have all been advocated.
AS a rule these remedies are only
make-shifts, at least where the animals
are abundant, and not a few trees have
died from the effects of one or the other
of these protective measures.
A spring-set fruit-tree entering it's
first winter IS worth at least one dol
lar, and if it took dollar to protect
that tree the money would be well
spent, especially if non-protection
meant loss RI the specimen and re-
planting. But it is not necessary to
spend so much to get an efficient pro-
tector-a far better one than any
enumerated above. Wire netting of a
mesh not greater than half an inch and
18 inches wide cut across in strips at
intervals of six or eight inches and
sprung around the trunks and the low
er ends buried an inch ortso below the
surface of the ground forms an abso-
lutte protection against these pests
without in any way inJuring the trees.
If the netting be pressed and rolled
tightly around hoe-handle or a
broom-stick to make the strips curl
better they can be applied much easier,
and when once in place cannot be
shaken off Ivy the wind. Such protec-
tors need not cost more than three
cents when in place upon the tree, and
when once in place need no further at
tention, since being loosely applied
they adjust themselves to the tree as
it grows.-Farm and Fireside.

Cranes on Little Land.

1t is surprising how little extent Of
earth's surface is needed to root a
grape vine. If it can grow upward and
have open space enough on one or two
sides to get plenty of sunshine, the
area in which it's roots can run is a
matter of comparatively little impor-
lance. We have seen thrifty and pro-
ductive grape vines where there was
only three feet space between a house
with it's cellar wall on one side and
the street sidewalk on the other. As
the sidewalk was made of plank, the
grape roots undoubtedly extended I'M
der it. But even with this there was
scarcely space seven by twenty-five
feet on the earth's surface, and this
s.1pported for years two grape vines,
each of which ran up trellis as high
as the house, and bore every year fine
clusters of luscious fruit at the top

THE FIRST KISS.

seems yesterday,
Though now my locks are white as snow,
and all your curls are gray
When, walking in tile twilight haze, ere
stars had smiled above,
II whispered soft: Il love you." and you
kissed me for that love!
The first kiss, dear. and then your hand
5S your little hand SO sweet,
And whittier than the white, white sand
that twinklcd at your feet,
Laid tenderly within my own! Have queens
ouch lovely hands?
No wonder that the whippoorwills made
I sweet the autumn lands!
It seemed to me that my poor heart would
beat to death and break.
While all the world-Sweetheart! Sweet
heart! seemed singing for your sake
And every rose that barred the way in
* glad and dying grace,
Forgot its faded summer day and, lean
II ling, kissed your face!
T envisd all the roses then. and all the
rosy ways gft
That blossomed for your sake, are still my
life's bright yesterdays.
But, thinking of the first, sweet kiss. and
that first clasp of hands,
Life's whippoorwills sing sweeter now
through all the autumn lands!

that stirred the young horse to its Ut
most speed. With ears bent back to
catch the lightest whisper, it swept
over the road like trained hunter.
The horse hitched to the nitro
glycerin wagon were now running
away in downright earnest. They con-
tinued to hear that frightening ''clink,
clanll," behind them, together with a
rapid clatter of hoofs, and they ran
like mad.
But the wagon was no light load and
the speedy young horse soon gained.
Yard by yard it decreased the distance,
until it was up with the wagon. The
boy tried to smile encouragingly to
Ida May, who was clinging to the seat
in scared and crouching heap.
just ahead, at the side of the road,
was stone and q broken place in the
fence. The team veered from him to-
ward the stone, and the boys heart
seemed to stop beating. From the
thought of what it might mean If a
| wheel struck that stone he shrunk as
from blow.
Under the sting of the pillow lines,
which he now laid OH unslaringly, the
young horse developed burst of speed
that quickly carried it alongside the
runaways. The stone was just ahead.
The team swerved further from him,
with a lurching movement, and dashed
through the gap of the fence into the
rocky field, the off-wheel grazing the
stone.
Though he grew sick and giddy with
fear, the boy did not lose his presence
Of mind.
Jump out!" he sharply commanded.
Ida May tried to obey and half
climbed to her feet in the end of the
seat nearest him, from which the mo-
ton seemed about to hurl her.
Then the wagon passed him, it's ter
rible load jolting and banging. AS it
did So, he crowded the young horse al
most against the front wheel, and,
leaning far over, snatched Ida May
from her bounding perch and drew her
across the horse.
| With shaking hand he turned the
horse then rode back into the highway.
His eyes were shining like stars, his
breast was heaving, his cheeks were red
and his lips were white. The young
horse was painting and it's satiny coat
was fecl1ed with foam from it's jaws.
| At the other side of the rocky field
was stone wall, toward which the
maddened team was dashing. Too late
the horses saw they could not leap it
and sought to turn aside. 1t was a
sharp, rending turn; and the wagon
seemed to go over with the lightness
of wind-lifted leaf
Then the very earth reeled and shook
as if in the throes of an earthquake;
and in that same moment team and
wagon ceased to be.

BEST TIME TO KICK A MAN.

dered man looked in the wrong direction.
Quirk didn't yell, though. He jumped to
the side Of the track and grabbed the man
by the collar, and yanked him clear of the
tracks and almost out of his shoes. Then
he gave him another ferocious jerk to get
him out of the way of an express wagon,
and, getting him at proper range at the same
time, he gave, the poor man kick that must
have driven his spine up into his hat. And
with the kick Quirk roared
"Confound you, keep your eyes open when
you are on the street,"
Quirk looked unutterably savage, but Perk
tottered to the curb, sat down and laughed
until the tears came. Then he said:

Death in Milk Cans.

A case Of milk poisoning in Utica, n.

milk cans were found to be clean. Then
the health officer looked up the farmer
who supplied the dealer, and found his
cans in a most filthy condition, looking,
he said, as if they had not been cleaned
for a week. This is another fact to ind
cate the value of scrupulous cleanliness
in the handling of milk. Another case,
traced to the same cause. was that
which occurred at Camp Eaton, Island
Lake, Mich, where number of SOL
diers were made violently ill from
drinking milk taken from cans in every
one of which decomposed milk was
