1t was generally thought on the Street
yesterday morning that Central Pacific
would be one of the active stocks on the
newspaper story that definite agreement
has been reached between the road and
the Government regarding the adjustment
of its debt There was only a fractional

hopefulness. while several other stocks
were moving up from one to six points.

Whoever, queries a writer in the
Saturday Review, analyzing the way
farer's characteristics, heard a habit
ual tramp sing, or even whistle? AS
he comes slouching down the sunny
side of the road his very walk gives
the lie to any romantic notion about
him. He does not walk; he merely
shuffies, weakened and narrow
chested, e1pectorating freely as he
goes. The wind on the heath has no
call for him. He hates the country,
and regards the open road merely as q
wearisome way from one common
lodging house or casual ward to an
other. AS a representative of the true
vagabond, to whom the wind and the
smell of earth and the warmth of the
sun are sheer physical delights, he is
the 6. .eatest fraud that ever a novelist
or a cockney essayist imagined. He
is nothing but an unspeakable dirty
and spiritless man, prowling along
with an eye to stealing or begging
enough for lodging house or to ca
rouse with other members of his tribe.

Cherry Pectoral
Fun in Sweden.

General Baron Rappe, Swedish
Minister..of War, has just suffered a
penalty for a very amusing slight to
royal ceremony. The day before
Christmas King Oscar summoned a
cabinet council to the palace. At the
last moment General Rappe, who is
notoriously absent minded, having on
his full uniform, as required by the
regulations, forgot to put on his
plumed chapeau, and hastily clapped
his ordinary silk hat on his unfortun-
ate head. No one happened to see
him en- route till he approached the
palace. The King and the rest of the
cabinet, looking out of the window,
saw the motley War Minister ap-
preaching, and burst into loud outlaws
at his unceremonious appearance.
They chaffed him without mercy, and
the King, to censure his absence of
mind, put him under a three days ar
rest as provided by the military regu'
lations forbidding the wearing of ci-
william attire in conjunction with mill
tary uniform,

Preparing the Garden.

A dressing of 1000 pounds of salt
per acre, sowed upon the surface and
narrowed in early in the spring, is
said to be an excellent preparation Of
the garden for growing cabbages,
,aulihowers and beets. There are
low grades of agricultural salt, or salt
too impure to be used as table salt, or
even in curing meats, without refn-
ing, which can be bought very
cheaply, and are as good as the better
grades for that business; so also with
salt that has been used in sailing
meat or fish. Whatever Of the juices
of the meat or fish it may retain will
not injure the land.
We remember when a dressing OF
salt was thought to be absolutely
necessary for growing crop of
asparagus, but now many of the
growers say that it is not important,
yet we think the above amount would
be of no injury to this or many other
crops. While 1000 pounds per acre
will not destroy all weeds nor ex-
terminate all insect pests, 1t is some
thing like the loeing of an old man
we once knew. He was notoriously
unskilful in his use of the hoe, but he
said if he didn't kill the weeds he
could discourage them Bit" Where
some OF the new and most trouble
some weed pests, like the orange
hawk weed, "devil's paint brush, :"
etc., are coming in small patches, it
may be we'll to apply two or three
times the above amount tc those spots
to kill the weeds, even though it may
kill all other plants for one season.
yet the killing of the weeds will we'll
repay the lost use of the land, and it
will be all the more fertile another
year.
While salt is not afertilizer, strictly
speaking, it often acts as such by act
ing upon other elements in the soil,
and liberating or making available
the fertility that is dormant in them.
We have seen good results from the
use of salt upon worn-out or rundown
grass lands, though it would not
produce the same results upon the
same field again until more manure
was applied. 1t is also useful in alb
sorbing moisture from the air and
holding it in the soil, as can easily be
seen by applying it in dry season.

Caribou Blinded by Dueliing.

The Indian guide Jim Paul was once
hunting on the Gaspereaux plains,
New Brunswick, when he saw large
bull caribou coming straight toward
him through clump of stunted
spruce. The animal frequently col
lided with the trees and seemed to
take no notice of the Indian. ''Sar-
tin, said Jim. 81 tink dat caribou
was drunk. Bambye when he git
pretty close I shoot him. Sartin he
was mighty ole caribou, for he was
blind and had no teeth and no horns. F."
In the mating season it is not uncom-
mon for caribou males to be blinded
by thrusts received in their furious
duels for the mastery of the herd.

What Our Knowledge is Good For. n

The attainment of skill is the alpha
as it is the omega of science. 1t was
the attempt to gain perfection in his
everyday work that led primeval man
to take the first steps in that great
movement Of which the fruition ap-
pears in the final development of our
modern universities. For man of
highest culture, also, the end and OBJ
ject of study is, as Aristotle teaches
us, not the attainment of knowledge,
bvt the perfecting of conduct, and
this is true not only when we con-
ceive of conduct as our action in rela-
ton to other men, but also if we look
upon it as action in relation to the OBJ
iects and conditions which surround
us. = From "The Field of Art" in

at Never Paid Me Better"

In an address at the recent annual meet
ing OF the United Kingdom Alliance, held
at Manchester, England, Rev. Charles Gar
rett said:
81 met with brewer, good man in his
way, who had been a member and office
bearer in our church for years. He was u
man kindly, generous, ready to help any
body In distress, and with kindly word
for anybody in trouble. He met me, and
we had hearty shake OF the hand. He
said: We'll, Mr.. Garrett, suppose you are
as earnest in teetotalism as ever Yes l
said, rather more We'll, he said, it's
all rlghth, you know; 1t pleases you and 1t
doesn't hurt me. The fact n, l was never
doing better than l am doing now Not
long afterward saw his second son come
out Of the yard In dellrium tremens with
three men struggling with him, a fine
young fellow, and broad-chested. | saw
them rs they wrestled with him, his veins
standing out like ropes on his forehead,
and his eyes flashing. / saw him fall; they
carried him in. Half an hour afterward
heard whisper, he is is dead and went
in to try and comfort the family; and when
l entered the room. there was the body,
and on that side was the mother drunk,
and on tho other side was the brother
drunk. As stood and looked on that hor-
rible scene heard that fathers words
again, 1t never paid me better.

Strange Beliefs in Thibet.

One of the most remarkable of all
the strange myths believed in by the
savage people of Thibet is one per.
tanning to the sun, moon, and stars.
The sun is supposed to be an immense
ball of yak meat and fat, whereon the
spirits of departed ancestors are sup
posed to feast, the light being caused
by its heated condition. The stars are
portions of this immense feast, which
dropping to the earth give birth to
animals for the sustenance of suffer-
ing humanity. The moon is a lesser
ball of similar texture, in use while
the larger one is being replenished
for the morrow. They account for its
non-appeorance on cloudy and stormy
days by the fact that the deities are
undergoing period of fasting and re.
ligious abnegation. The parched and
desert condition of sterile regions is
ascribed TO the fact that many thou
sand years ago this immense ball
slipped from the hands Of its keepers,
and descending too near the earth
scorched those parts with which il
came in contact before it could be re-
covered. New York Post

piantinr shruhs I'm snrInr.

Spring is the best time to plan
shrubs. A great deal of ones success
depends on the manner of planting.
II shrub or tree is worth the trouble
of ordering from a nurseryman, or the
labor of planting at all, it is worth the
well doing. Some plants will live if
you ''just stick them out anywhere
some will not, but in any case proper
,are and goodplanting bring their own
reward. Trim off bruised and torn
roots. Prepare good sized place for
the roots and make the soil mellow.
Cover the roots with few shovelfuls
of rich, mellow earth. Firm the soil
round the roots well. This is impor-
tant. See that the drainage is good.
Don't put fresh manure in contact
with roots. Trim the tops, having in
mind the future shapeliness and beauty
of the shrub. There must be pro.
portion between the root system and
the branches-not more leaves and
branches than there are roots to fur
nish nourishment.

Planning the Flower Garden.

If you are upon new place that is
bleak and bare or if till now you have
felt you could not have flowers make
up your mind now that you will have
some flowers this spring-not neces-
sarily great lot that will be neglected
but get few choice perennials, some
snowy ANIMALS and few nice plants
for the windows. Invite the wife or
daughters to help you do the planning
and we assure you you will be amply
repaid for the time and money ex.
pended, in the satisfaction and pleas
ure obtained, to say nothing of the
enhanced money value of the farm or
home lot.
In planning aim to have stretch of
green between the road and the house
or fence which should be the back,
background so to speak; have in front
Of this row of bushes or tall plants
as tho background of your picture,
then the low plants aud snowy an
nuals in front of this. Or If you pre-
fer have the snowy ones at the side of
the house and little back Of line
even with the point of it.
HAnother plan is to have narrow bor-
ders along the walk or walks leading
to the house. 1t is not best to cut the
lawn or even the small bit of green
you may have in front of the house,
all up with flower beds or to fill it full
of trees or bushes. A small clump of
trees here and there at the side of or
massed in a line with the house will
have better effect than to have the
house wholly hidden-but do not re-
frain from getting the plants and
flowers because you can not spend
time or have not the surroundings
that will permit you to lay out grounds
as you would like-better beauty
and brightness without symmetry
than no brightness at all. Have q
flower garden and some house plants
and plan for them now.-Farm, Field
and Fireside.
