The Lawn and It's Care.

If one would have a fine lawn, the
first essential is good foundation. II
it is not necessary to take out trees,
stumps, or large stones, great care
should be taken to fill the holes prop
erly. The earth around the holes is
firm and solid, and the new soil that
is put in must be beaten down and
made even by filling in and pouring
on water until.it settles to level sur
face. Even then the spots will need
watching, as it is scarcely possible to
pack the ground 80 securely TINT it
will not sink with the action Of the
elements and time. Keep at hand q
pile OF fine earth to even up hollows
and fill in the washouts, that almost
always make themselves manifest in
the spring. If the sod is not salts
factory, put on q light harrow-one
with fine, not very long, iron teeth.
Select horse with big, flat feet and
no shoes, If you have one, as he will
not sink into the ground like one with
small, well-shod feet. Run this har.
row over the ground until the surface
Of the soil is well scratched up; then
with wood-toothed rakes clean the
ground thoroughly of grass, stones,
sticks and tussocks. When the next
ralnstorm comes have, everything
ready and SOW the seed quickly.
Lawn grass mixture comes ready pre.
pared; or one may use two bus heels of
Kentucky blue grass seed two bushels
OF red-top and one peck of white
clover. Sometimes rye grass seed is
put into this mixture, but not neces-
sarily. Whether the soil is rolled be.
fore the top-dressing of manure or
patent fertilizer is put on depends
very much upon the convenience of
the owner Of the lawn. 1t certainly
must be rolled thoroughly afterward.

According to the latest figures which
can be obtained, the number of pupils
enrolled in the public schools of the
United States amounts to 14,379, 07S,
or nearly twenty per cent. Of the ma
TONS population. Out Of 400, 1916
teachers employed 10000 are males
and 269,956 females. The average
monthly salary paid to male teachers is
$&7.37; the average monthly salary
paid to female teachers is S4O.24. The
number Of public schoolhouses in the
United States is 240, 96S, and the value
OF all the public school property ag-
gregates $455, 94S, 164. The cost of
public school education in the United
States per pupil is 1892 annually.
These figures do not include private
schools nor higher institutions of
learning which are sustained without
the aid Of State appropriations. Evil
IDENTIFY this country is making rapid
educational progress; although, of
course, there is still marked room for
improvement.

Saws the New York Times.

Says the New York Times: eff we
stop a moment to think OF it, it is very
remarkable that the absolute oblitera-
tion of sectional lines in the vote in
the House on the defense bill excites
no remark whatever. 1t is to-day as
natural thing that General Joe
Wheeler, Of Alabama, one of the most
gallant of Confederate cavalry leaders,
should greet Mr.. Cannon's bill with O
shout OF applause as it was thirty
years ago General Wheeler was barred
from Congress by his Confederate
Commission. The men who Tough
each other in that fierce arbitration by
the sword are now SO completely
American, their feelings, convictions,
interests are in such harmony on
questions of national import, that
their common action is no more doubt
ed on one part than on the other. Yet
this fact, to which our familiarity
blinds us, is not only of tremendous
Importance, but is wholly without
precedent in the history OF the world.
Never was there so desperate and
bloody Civil War. never so rapid
and complete establishment OF ma
tional unity. The historian OF the
next generation, sufficiently remote 10
catch the perspective OF our rapidly
moving national changes, will see this
more plainly than we, and he will find
more interesting than the great strug-
gle the story of the recovery from it,
of the new start on broader and more
fruitful career. When he strikes, in
the Congressional Record, the vote on
the defense bill, yeas, 311; nays, o.
he will realize more keenly than we do
how wonderful thing It is that the
little cipher expresses ell there is re-
manning of disloyalty to that Union
for which the war was fought"

A Washington special says: The
house Saturday passed the army reor-
ganization bill at the urgent request
of the president and Secretary of War
Alger.
Some feer was expressed on the
democratic side that the bill might in
crease the regular army in time of
peace, but an amendment prepared by
Mr.. Bailey, which removes all doubt
on this score, was accepted by Mr..
Hull, and the bill passed by a unani-
nous vote.
The bill organizes the army into
three battalion formations and author
ICES the twenty-five regiments of the
infantry arm of the service to be re-
cruited mp to total of 81, 800 enlisted
men. 1t authorizes the recruitment of
ten regiments of the cavalry arm of

the seven regiments of the artillery
arm of the service to 16,457 men and
the engineer battalion OF five compa-

SPANISH VESSELS CAPTURED

WERE TAKEN WITHOUT TROUBLE.
In Every Instance They Were Brought
to a Stop by Solid Shots Across
Their Bows.

A special from Key West says: En-
sign Christy, with Grew Of sixteen
from the cruiser Detroit and four from
the flagship, brought into port late
Sunday afternoon the captured Span
ish steamer, Catalina, Captain Fano,
3,491 tons, which left Cadiz March
7th, and was bound from New Orleans
to Barcelona, via Havana, for which
port she was making when taken.
The Catalina was captured twelve
miles from Havana. She was taken
by the cruiser Detroit. When the
first shot was fred her captain made o
desperate effort to escape his pursuer,
and the chase was prolonged for eight
miles.
Tho Catalina is AIS feet in length,
48 feet in breadth and 21.3 feet in
depth of hold. She is o steel vessel
with six bulkheads. According to the
Bureau Veritas her gross tonnage is
6,2S1 and her net 1901.
The New York's Prize.
One of the first shots fred in anger

across the bows Of q ship since the
close of the civil war was shot from
the deck of the New York as a signal
to the Spanish freighter Pedro, of Bill
bao, to heave to shortly before six
o'clock Saturday evening. The little
Pedro, scurrying like scared rabbit
close in shore, favored by the closing
in of foggy, misty day, was sighted
by the New York and Immediately
brought about with solid shot across
her bows.
A prize crew was Immediately sent
aboard and the Spanish flag hauled
down and the Pedro was sent back to

officers.

schooner was taken by the torpedo
boat Porter after a lively chase, dur

were fired.
A prize crew from the flagship was
put on board the schooner, but no ship
could be spared to tow her, and she
was taken to Key West in tow of the

Growing Early Rhubnrb.

Rhubarb, or, as 1t is more common
ly called, ''pie plant" is very rank
feeder. II is made much earlier in the
open ground by the old-fashioned
practice Of putting a barrel over the
plant with both heads gone so soon
as the snow is off the ground in the
spring. 1t need not be done earlier
than this, though the practice Of some
is TO put the barrel over the pie plant
in the fall, and fill it with manure, and
bank manure around the barrel so as
to keep the soil from freezing. In
truth, the more the ground freezes
over and around the pie plant the bet
ter it will be for its spring growth.
The freezing makes the soil mellow
and open to the air, and the soil
warns up much more quickly. As for
the loss OF the manure teaching, it Is
not likely that this amounts to much,
rs the manure being inside and out
side the barrel is much moro likely to
freeze through than to ferment. If
the manure is composted and little
OF the best-rotted parts are dissolved
in water, and this applied inside the
barrel, the forcing of the rhubarb will
be much greater. The sun shining in
10 the barrel all day will warm up the
soil much more than little manure
could do. At night the barrel should
be covered with boards to retain part
Of the heat deposited by the suns
rays during the day.

MILK Fevcr In Cows,

II is very important as the COW
approaches narrowing time that the
COW should be given laxative food 80
as to keep her digestion good, and
yet not such as will unduly stimulate
the milk glands. There i, o great
difference in cows in this respect.
Some will, as il is said, "sping bag"
two or three weeks before the calf
comes. Such cows will require to be
MIXED twice day from the time the
milk begins to come. The milk will
not be disable at this time, either for
food or butter making, but it may be
fed to hogs, taking care not give it
to any that are with pig, as it may
cause them to lose their litter.
II there are young growing pigs it
will be excellent for them. The
greatest care should be taken TO ex-
extract all milk from the udder. Par
tial milking at this period allows
the milk to become olotted in the
udder, and this makes it hard, and all
the worse because this increases the
fever and is usually the cause Of it.
II these directions are followed there
will be no danger Of caked bag or milk
fever, which is, we think, its usual Sc
quence. Should there be any fever,
causing the COW to become constipated,
few ears Of corn fed whole will set
the bowels right again and insure an
easy delivery Of the calf.-Amorican

Spain Asserts That Letters OF Marque are

A semi-ofiicial note just issued at
Madrid asserts that Spain will not
issue letters of marque and will treat
all vessels holding letters of marque
issued by America as pirates and not
as privateers.
Spain will utilize a numerous mer-
camille fleet as auxiliary and will exer-
else the right of search, both by regu-
lar and the auxiliary warships, and the
government reserves liberty as to the
question of coal being contraband.

and no shots were fired in return.

While it is the purpose of the war
department to secure only National
Guardsmen as far as possible under
the first call for volunteers, yet in
states where there are no National
Guard, or where the number falls be-
low the quota fixed in the call, the
states will be expected to supply the
volunteers regardless of their lack Of
organization. In fact, this must be
done under the law.
On the basis of the call for 1875, 900
men the southern states will be called
upon to supply the following number
