Roll Your Grasx We'll.

The effect Of rolling is to crush down
the bigger plants that flourish among
the grass and to injure the grass itself
but little. The bigger plants are mostly
weeds, which, il allowed to grow un.
checked, would soon choke the more
slender grass.
Ii footpath across field becomes
disused, it will be found that the grass
which grows up in its place is of far SUI
perior purity to that in the rest of the
field. Constant pressure has stamped out
the roots of the weeds and left only the
pure grass.
Another advantage of rolling is that it
makes the grass grow more thickly. The
ground becomes intertwined with a net
work of plants. and when this has been
going on for 80 years or more that rich,
velvety turf is produced which can be
found alone in old park lands that have
lain undisturbed by the pillow for many
years in succession.

ALL MEN ARE LIARS.
So a barber Says and Tries to Prove
His PrOpOsitfOn.


II don't want to think ill of my fellow
men," said the barber the other after
noon, "but sometimes am forced to be-
lieve that goodly share of them are
prone to prevarication. l mean by that
they are given to avoiding the truth
when the truth would answer just as
WELL"
Exactly" assented the Saunterer.
Suppose you give me bill of particu-
lars"
WELL" continued the man of the ra-
zor, Il was thinking of half dozen or so
customers have asked during the course
of the day whether or not they didn't
want their hair cut. Every man of 'em,
instead of coming out with a plain mo-
for an answer, hemmed and hawed and
said something about being in hurry or
not having time or similar excuse. To-
day was no exception either. It's that
way every day. or course the barber is
on, and the way some of the customers
get red in the face makes me think they
are giving him ghost story. Why, I've
had a man tell me he hadn't time to get
his hair cut and then climb out of my
chair after l had finished shaving him and
stand around and talk for half an hour
or twice as long as it takes to trim up
head of hair. It's often the same when
we suggest a shampoo. Now, just be-
cause barber asks a customer if he
doesn't want something more than
shave when once he is in the chair is no
reason why the customer should feel
obliged to spend more than he at first in
tended to. nor is it any reason why the
customer should prevaricate about being
rushed to death in order to get out of it,
How'd you like that shave. sir? 1t was
all right, Ell? Thank you suppose
you'll have your hair cut this afternoon?"
"Er--no," responded the saunterer

NE HAD BEEN TO SEA.
Bns His Experience Didn't FIT Hin
For Sailing q Yacht.

For Sailing q Yacht.
A government Official tells this story Of
Sam Allerton's experience with his
| yacht:
Mr.. Allerton built himself fine coun.
try house on the shores Of Lake Geneva,
Wisconsin. 1t was as fine as anybody's
home in that locality. When he had the
house about finished, some one told him
that he would have to have a yacht, not
one of the modern steam yachts such a.
you see down east, but sailing boat.
He ordered one made and was up at the
lake when it reached there. He was
very proud Of his yacht, and although he
had never been on one before concluded
that he would like to take a sail right
away. In his younger days he had gone
fishing time or two in a canoe and in
that way had learned the rudiments Of
steering a boat, so he concluded to take
the helm. Looking over the group Of
loungers that had gathered about, he
shouted out the inquiry:
"Who among us has been to seaW
II has, sah," said tall, rawboned col
ored man, stepping forward.
you'll do for one," said Mr.. Allerton.
"Now, who else has been to sea?'
Nobody answering, he turned to the
colored man and ordered him to jump
aboard, saying: 'We two will be enough.
We can handle her."
The sails were set, the boat released
from its moorings, and start was made.
The wind was directly offshore and
blowing brisk. Mr.. Allerton enjoyed the
sensation hugely and congratulated him
self on the investment he had made. He
was sailing directly before the wind, and
he doomed ahead in splendid style. By
and by they approached the opposite
shore, and, after making several frantic
efforts to change the course of the boat,
Mr.. Allerton called out to the colored
man who had been to sea-"
"Here, you! How are we going to
turn this blamed thing around? l can't
do anything with her."
"'Deed, mister, l don't know what to
do. l don't know nothing bout them
there sails"
The two men pulled and hauled and
perspired, but to no effect, and the yacht
went on the rocks with a smash. As
Mr.. Allerton waded ashore he turned
angrily to the colored man, who dragged
himself drippingly after him, and said:
81 thought you told me you had been
to sea?"
II was, sab; eight years."
"What the deuce did you do at sea?"
II was cook, sah."-Chicago Post.

Another Alleged Forgery In the Cels.
brated Dreyfus Case.
Paris, Aug. 1S.-A special edition Of
Figaro just issued exposes another al
legged forgery in the Dreyfus case by
publishing the following telegram from
Ems.
"The letter of Nov. 80, 1897, attribut-
ed to me and reproduced in The FL
CARO- of Aug. 16, 1899, is forgery.
"SCHNEIDER."
The letter referred to was one from
Schneider, the Austrian military at
tache at Paris, in which he was al
legged to have said Schwartzkoppen and
Panizzardi, respectively the German
and Italian attaches, were trying to
make out that it was not Dreyfus who
was giving them information and, add
ing that he had no belief in these pro-
testations. NJ. Cavaignac, the former
minister of war, in his testimony, made
a great point of this.

The witness, who declared he was con-
WINGED of the prisoners guilt, was
cross-examined by M. Demange of
counsel for the defense, who succeed
ed in pointing out that several of his
statements contradicted his previous
dispositions. The president of the
court, Colonel Jouaust, asked Dreyfus
If he had anything to say, whereupon
the prisoner rose and again vehe-
mently protested against the denuncia-
tions levelled against him, an innocent
man.
General Gonse Testifies.
General de Boisdeffre was the next
witness called. General NGonse fol-

maintained that the prisoner was
guilty. He declared the Henry for

fore Henry's confession. He admitted
that Henry, when he first produced
the forged documents, insisted that it
must not be shown to Picquart Gen.
eral Gonse admitted that while he was
struck with the similarity of Ester
Hays handwriting and that of the
bordereau he nevertheless forbade Pic
quart to investigate the matter. Col
onel Picquart was then recalled to ex-

service funds and after General Billot
had spoken in rebuttal of Picquart's
statement the court at HAS a. m. ad-
