Nevada is heard from 10 Congress
upon the currency measure before
the House. 1t is reported Mr.
Newlands OF Nevada conteaded that
the panic of 1893 was net caused by
the coinage of silver under the Sher-
man act. He said the increase Of
prosperity during the past two years
demonstrated the correcti ess II he
theory entertained by bimetalists,
that all other things being equal,
prices will depend upon the amount
of moaey in circulation, that an in
crease OF the money volume meant
higher prices, and a diminution Of
the volume meant lower prices
There is no question upon the cor
rectness of Mr.. Newlands position
before the House. The currency bill
is in the interest of the national
banks. The present volume OF money
Is much larger than it was two years
ago. Money has been given out
freely for two years by the owners
of money and the sales oil our food
products to foreign countries have
been large and the result of increas-
ed circulation has been .tomake prices
better, which will be a temporary
matter when the banks have full con-
troll of the money OF the country, and
If it is not temporary the history OF
rndney matters will be reversed.
With the banks in full control OF
the money currency OF the country
It can be controlled at pleasure to
the destruction of trade and general

Mrs. Kruger, the wife of the presi-

When there are guests at the presi-

waits upon them. This duty she will not
intrust to a servant, for she says her

the best of well-cooked food, every

At the Maryland station difference
has been found in favor of planting

the greater covering to the ground by

1t Gets the Criminals.

According to the Chinese method Of
criminal prosecution, n man is RESPONSE
BILE for the crime he may have committed
personally, but il he chooses to escape
justice by running away from the place
where the deed was committed then the
remaining members of his immediate
family are held and punished in lieu Of
the real culprit. This may seem strange
way Of attracting the real criminal back
to the scene of his crime but 1t appeals
to the religious side of the mans super
sttious nature. According to their reli-
gion. the man who forsakes bis parents
when in peril will find his soul sailing
around through hades without chart or
compass for all eternity. In view of this,
compliance with the law is very prompt,
for John Chinamnn does not care to take
the desperate chance. - San Francisco

LOSSES PROM WEEDS.

r---~----t Ne.i. IL,
Each Days Grevvth Of . weed AA1o4g
Heed Crepa Lessons the Yield. y 6
It would be difncut for most farm
era to calculate how great is the loss
from the prevalence of weeds In crops.
In season when dry weather prevails
these losses are comparatively small,
though even then the weeds take wa
ter from the soil, which 10 not all re-
turned when they are uprooted and
buried In 1t. The weed that is buried
is surrounded by air spaces, keeping
the soil more porous than 1t otherwise
would be, and therefore drying 1t out
faster. The case Is still worse as re-
cards the fertility that the weed has
taken, It was originally entirely solu-
BILE, but the weed has to ferment and
be resolved into vegetable mold before
1t can be put in the same soluble con-
dition. Yet, says American Cultiyator,
we have known farmers to delay cul-
tiyation of hoed crops so as to have
more grass and weeds to be plowed un-
der.
1t is often said that weeds are
q preventive of good farming; that
there would be much less cultivation
of hoed crops II 1t were not that the
growth of weeds made 1t necessary.
Yet where the culhvator Is kept going
all through the season, so often as to
prevent any weed from reaching the
surface, the weed killed as quickly as
1t sprouted has done the soil more good
and less harm than it could do at any
subsequent stage Of its growth. At
this early period about all the plant
substance has been directly furnished
from the swelling and decomposition
Of the seed in termination. At this
time the carbonic acid gas which the
seed gives off when 1t terminates
makes its plant food more soluble than
1t ever can be after the plant puts
forth roots and begins to draw from
the soil Finely powdered malt has
been used as fertilizer. When it has
been applied in contact with seed grain
of any kind, 1t has produced remark
able results, though 1t is too expensive
a fertilizer to be used on very large
scale. But the ordinary weed seed is
much smaller and has far less fertiliz-
ing material in 1t than has q grain Of
barley.
1t is the popularity Of most weeds
that most of their growth is taken
directly from the soil, and that both
1t and the moisture to make the plant
food soluble are needed by growing
crops. Each days growth Of a weed
among hoed crops lessons the yield.
If the weed Is left until late, Its roots
will be so intermingled with those Of
valuable crops that one cannot be de-
stroyed without uprooting the other.
A little care In destroying the weeds
while small will save much labor later
besides the inevitable shrinkage of the
crop among which the weeds have
been allowed to grow.

She contracted the disease in 1892
while working as nurse in the San

washing went to lepers to be done and
a Chinese leper used to bring coal for
