stricken with brain fever.
In three months time the doctors
ordered Ellice to the seaside.
She chose Shoreport. She hardly
knew why; but she felt desire to
return to the place where her happi-
ness had been shattered.
There she gradually gained strength,
and as warmer days came on she was
able to wander on the beach that
reminded her of her great mistake.
One morning she ventured a little
further than usual, and finding herself
out Of sight of the parade and the
people, she sat down upon bowlder

Presently she bowed her head and
wept

Some Sources of Things.

The widows cap dates back to old
Egyptian days when people shaved
their hair close to the head in time OF
mourning and then put on caps to
avoid taking cold.
The oldest of popular cultivated
roses is La Refine, which came out in
1S43. The General Jacqueminot was
offered to the public in 1859, and the
Marechal Mel was perfected in 1864.
La France came in 1868.
The belief that branch OF palm is
a protection against lightning Is OF
Spanish origin. In Madrid good Cath
olics take the branches they receive in
church on Palm Sunday and fasten
them in front of their window bal
comics, there to remain for the ensu-
ing year.
The phrase Peace with honor"
which is usually attributed to Lord
Beaconsfield, was original with Ed
mund Burke The sentence First in
war, first in peace, first in the hearts
of his countrymen," applied to Wash
ington, occurs in the resolution adopt
ed by Congress on the death Of the
Father of His Country. This resolution
was drafted by Gen. Henry Lee, who
used the phrase in subsequent eulogy
of Washington.
The famous Bonanza Creek and the
more famous Ell Dorado Greek, where
gold was discovered in the Klondike,
are very like ordinary everyday creeks
in appearance. "Stick George" Cor
mack and his squaw's relatives camped
ON the creek for dinner one day, and
somehow got to digging and washed
out some gold. He went to Forty Mile
and made claim for discovery, and
soon the news spread like wildfre.

Corn Planting.

Before planting the corn crop be care
full to have the land worked as fine as
possible. Many farmers are satisfied
to plow the corn land, harrow it and
plant the seed, trusting to the corn
rots to spread and increase, as the corn
is a gross feeder, but while corn may
thrive under such conditions yet an in
creased yield over the average can only
be obtained when the ground Is mace
as fine as that of garden, as then the
feeding capacity of theroots Is increased
and larger available supply of plant
food can be obtained.

To DESTROY Weeds.

The easiest and best way to destroy
all kinds of weeds is when they are just
beginning to appear above ground, as
even a slight stirring of the soil will
then seriously cripple them in growth
or destroy them. If weeds are permit
ted to grow, however, they make excel
lent green material for blowing under,
but while they may nearly reach ma
turity before thus utilized, under no
circumstances must they be permitted
to produce seed. If no weeds are al
lowed to scatter seeds it will be but a
few years before the farm will be en-
tirely clear of them. 1t will pay the
farmer, however, to keep weeds down
by stirring the top soil when the weeds
are young.

Management of Hen Manure.

The best method of handling hen ma
nure is to keep constantly some dry
muck, earth, soil or sand under the
roosts and clean it out at least once
week. Then mix all with three or four
times it's bulk of dry soil or muck, and
keep in a perfectly dry place. Work
over whenever the heap commences to
heat until ready for use. Such fertil-
izer should not be plowed or spaded
under deeply, but lightly raked or har-
rowed in the ground at the time Of

Two Things the Kaiser Does Not Like.

The Kaiser is a military man from
crown to foot. His numerous ward
robes contain anly five suits Of multi,
German officers, he never looks we'll
in them. He never wears an evening
dress suit. He has a particular alb
neigung against the swallow tail,
which reminds him of the somber sur
roundings of a funeral This uncon-
querable objection is accountable for
an imperial regulation ordaining that
wherever possible courtiers and guests
shall wear the frock coat pAnglais,
otherwise the newly introduced court
dress is de riguer. The black swallow
tail is thus fast being forced out Of
German court circles. Umbrellas are
his pet aversion-he never possessed
one in his life-and as to sticks, they
are usually the cheapest he can buy.
His rifles are under the special care Of
the leibjager, and kept in special
cupboard A remarkable feature of
this collection is The hunting sticks
which His Majesty has cut with his
own hand while out hunting, or re-
ceived as presents during is expedi-
lions from gentry and peasantry alike.
The Kaisers wardrobes occupy a
suite of five rooms in the old castle at
Berlin. They are massive and of oak.
In the middle OF one of the rooms is a
large table for spreading out the uni
forms. There is a sixth room in which
small repairs are undertaken. Here a
tailor is permanently employed, for
Kaiser Welhelm does not throw away
clothes until they are we'll worn. He
keeps about eighteen pairs Of white
military gloves in use. These are
cleaned and repaired from time to
time. The glover receives a small
yearly sum for his services. Each pair
is supposed to have certain life"
Should the leather show any defect, it
is returned to the unluckly glover with
a preemptory demand for an explana-
ton.
When a suit is ordered, woe be to
the tailor should it not fit like glove,
though "try on" is never permitted.
Directly a suit has been taken off, it
is returned to the wardrobe and there
subjected to the closest scrutiny. The
orders and decorations are kept in an
iron safe, and represent in value about
one and a half million marks.-Pall
Mall Gazette.

Points In Spraying.

When to spray apple trees depends
on the purposes desired. Use Bordeaux
mixture when the buds are swelling,
and If canker worms are abundant
spray also when the blossoms are about
to open. After the blossoms fall spray
again with Bordeaux mixture and also
paris green, repeating both applications
a week or ten days later. In about ten
days or two weeks another application
may be made Of Bordeaux mixture.
These remedies or preventives are for
scab, bud moth, codling moth, tent
caterpillar, curculio and canker worm.

Which Eggs Are Fertile7

The statement is often made that
eggs from old hens are best for hatch
ing. Recent experiments at the Utah
station indicate the contrary, so far,
at least, as concerns the per cent. OF
fertile eggs. The comparative size and
strength of the chicks is not stated.
The percentage Of fertility was highest
with the early Matched pullets and low
est with the old hens. though the re-
suits are not conclusive. The fertility
of eggs averaging five days old was
300 per cent. higher than of eggs aver
aging twenty-five days old.

cost Of So per ton, which makes the to-
tai cost Of hauling reach the enormous
sum of $1,OOO,OOO,OOO. 1t is urged that
with good roads the hauling would cost
only 80 cents per ton instead of 50, thus
making saving Of $60O,OOO,O0O per
year, which is one-fourth the value of
all the farm products of the country
used on the farms. It is, therefore,
cheaper to expend a sufficient fund at
once to put roads in good condition than
to attempt to repair them every year.

Melons and Tomatoes.

To make hills for melons and toma-
toes, first dig out the earth at each To-,

and fill with clean manure, covering
the manure with earth, killing up. Use
plenty of manure-a wheelbarrowful
not being too much-and when the time
for putting out the plants arrives
work the manure we'll into the soil,
covering a space of four feet square,
and dig the ground to the depth of

DOUBTFUL COMPLIMENTS.

The following letters clipped from the
Reno Journal, we received this week
enclosed in an envelope bearing the
card "Wm. NJ. Stewart, Attorney-at-
Law, Carson City, Nevada" with q
personal request from Mr.. Stewart to
'1ay them before the people,.
We do this without hesitation, as we
wish our readers to hear both sides of
this, as of every other question. There
is little danger of the people being fool
ed by so simple ruse as this, or failing
to see that these letters were plainly in
spired by our worthy Senator himself.
1t is amusing indeed to see him forced
to resort to his friends in Nebraska and
Alabama to give him reputation. The
Winnemucca Advocate says it looks a
great deal like 'YOu scratch my back

SAN FRANCISCO, August 9, 1898.
EDITOR STATE JOURNAL, Reno, New.
DEAR SIR: Your inquiry gives me
an opportunity that is very gratifying
to me, to express a conviction that Is
very strong in the Senate, that Nevada
Is represented in that body by two Sem
ators Of great ability.
Senator Stewart is one OF our most
experienced statesmen aud his abilities
are closely stamped on many measures
of great and general Importance. As
to matters affecting Nevada and the
Coast States of the Pacific, his efforts
to care for the people have always Been
conspicuous and very successful.
His vigilance and industry have i'm
pressed me with profound respect for
his sense OF. duty. No State, or people
ever had a, more loyal representative
than Senator Stewart. His attitude on
the silver question is due entirely to his
firm and intelligent conviction that the
return to the early policy of Washing
ton, jefferson and Jackson is necessary,
in fact, to preserve the liberties OF the
people against the insidious march Of
monopoly bent on their subjugation.
In this, and in many things agree with
him; in some oppose his views, but he
is an antagonist that fights in the opcn
with untiring courage and persistence.
The man who defeats him Is always
ready to acknowledge his proves. For
every honest man he has an honest re-
spect, whether he Is in error, or is on
the right road.
Very Truly Yours,
JOHN T. MORGAN.
