Curod Him.

An intimate friend of Rear Admiral
John W. Philip tells the following anec-
dote of the gallant naval officer: Though
Philips religious side has been much
emphasized and commented on, he is a
determined man and will brook no op-
position. Once when he was in charge
of the Pacific Mail steamer China he
carried two passengers of foreign ma
tionality who persisted in smoking in
their staterooms during the hours when
smoking was prohibited. Philip, then
captain, called their attention to the
fact, but instead Of needing his warn
ing one answered him impudently.
Nothing further was said at the time,
but the next morning the offensive pas
senger was handcuffed to the upper
deck for three hours, and for the re-
mainder of the trip that particular per-
son seemed to have lost all desire to in
dulge in back talk to the captain.

The Poverty of Rome.

There is terrible poverty in Rome,
of which the beggars who await you at
every street corner are but too genuine
sign. The first gesture learned by the
children of poor people in Rome is to
hold out their hands for aims They be-
gin when they are so young that they
can only totter, and they are still hold
ing out their hands for aims when they
can only totter because they are SO old.
Yet another sign of it I find in the
5000 cabmen Of Rome, sitting hungrily
on their boxes, in their worm eaten fur
coats, too lazy to do anything but sit
there holding out their whips to solicit
every passer and unable to make de-
cent living even in place SO frequent
ed by strangers and place where every
one drives. But even here, in these beg
gars and cabmen, is there not certain
participation, at all events, in that
open air life which is the felicity of
Rome? "Abbiamo pazienza, say the
poor people, and sit in the sun. AR

Hotel Life In Washington.

At breakfast the other morning a
Washington young woman found lit
tie note at her plate saying that her
aunt had arrived from the east the night
before and was at we'll known hotel.
About o'clock she went to the hotel
indicated and asked the clerk whether
the newcomer had been down to break
fast yet. The clerk informed her that
he did not believe she had been down
and offered to send up card.
"Oh, never mind doing thatP' she
replied. "You just tell me the number
of her room, and will go up"
"No. =" promptly replied the clerk,
and the young woman took the elevator.
Upon arriving at the door of No. -,
instead of rapping, she softly put her
ear to the door and listened in order
that she might not disturb her aunt if
she were asleep. She heard no noise
and SO took out one of her cards, and
after writing, "Will come again at 10
Jane" she tied little bunch of flowers
to it and left it on the knob, where it
would fall into the doorway when the
door was opened.
At 10 o'clock she came again. The
clerk had not seen her aunt and did not
believe that she had left her room. So,
after looking about the parlors in vain,
she went to the door of No. = and soft
ly tapped.
"Who is itf' came a gruff voice, and
at the same time man opened the
door and stepped out into the hall.
"Oh, you are the party who was
coming again at 10, are your" contin-
ued the man smilingly. "Well, what
can I do for your"
"Nothing, thank you," she replied,
"unless you come down stairs and help
me thrash that hotel clerk. Wash

The Ashes of Love,

The women are telling Of an Atchi-
son man who treated his wife with in
difference and cruelty in their early
married life. They say he is now down
on his knees blowing into the dead
ashes of her love trying to revive a
spark of affection for him. How women
love to picture a man in such an atti-
tudel It is probably the dream of every
neglected wife that some day her hus-
band will try to warm his hands like a
frozen Cupid at the fires Of her love,
and will find only dead ashes there.
There are enough dead ashes in the aver
age woman's dreams to macadamize a
road. -Atchison Globe.

ORCHARD CULTURE.

Effects of C2L2n Cultivation and OF
Cropping.
Whether 0fchards shall be cropped or
given clean cultivation, how cultiva-
tion shall be done, whether it shall be
continued throughout the season and
similar problems depend very largely
on local conditions of soil, climate and
the like. Various experiment stations
have conducted experiments to find out
what methods give best results and why
they do SO. AS stated in farmers bull

parts were cultivated, all being irri-

that growing grass in young orchards
is always as injurious as it proved to be
at the Utah station, yet the reported

very early for wax bean. A planting
made on June 12 gave US fair picking
by July 28-46 days. It's value as a

Ell Dorado is the largest of the hardy
