Put Him in a Box.

There is an amusing story told by
Household Words of John Hare and his
coachman. Having been sent to a GER
tain theater 10 secure stalls, the coach
man, who knew more about stables than
theaters, returned with what appeared to
be difficult verbal message. well, did
"No, sir" said the coachman, ''the stalls
were all taken up; but they told me they
would be pleased TOTO" he scratched
his head and then blurted QUITO put

"shamrock's" Owner.

People are naturally curious about the
owner of the Shamrock, Sir Thomas Lip
honor him all the more, because he is
largely what we like to call self-made.
His full name is Thomas tombstone Lip
ton. He was born in Glasgow, of Irish
parents, and his career has led him pros
perously on through the paths of bust
ness. To the British public he is best
known as tea merchant; his name is
literally q household word throughout
estates in Ceylon. Another fact less IA
miliar is that he has large business inter-
ests in this country. He is president of
the Thomas J. Upton company, packers,
Of Chicago, and he owns the Upton Re
frigerator Car lines of the same city.
He received his title last year.-Collier' S

Were ALWAYS Peeled.

Last summer number of children sent
out into the country by means of a fresh
air fund were playing about a pretty
farmhouse, when some passersby stopped
for chat with them. There were some
fowls in a field close by. did you ever
see any chickens before?' said one of the
ladies. ''Oh, yes," replied one of the
youngsters, with a knowing shake of the
head-"we've always seen 'en1, lots-only
generally it was after they was peeled.''

Growing Crimso Clovcr

Crimson clover has been seeded during
August and some will continue seeding
into September. Fortunately for farm
ers in this section, the rains Of August
were very favorable to its growth. Grim
son clover was a failure in many locali-
ties last year, due to the unwise system
to the sowing Of seed in cornfieids or 9th

N, this latitude the work should not be
delayed longer than September 15. 1t is
not as valuable a crop as red clover, but
mas the advantage Of occupying the land
during the winter season, and starts off
early in growth in the spring, renching
q stage which permits blowing it under
~ time for corn, the green material sery-
ing as a source Of nitrogen, for which
purpose 1t Is largely grown. But few
+ thrive on their farms, the crimson vari-
ETY. being used almost exclusively as
nitrogen gatherer." Lime and crimson
clover are considered one Of the chenpest
ana best combinations that can be used
for restoring nitrogen without expanding

eellent results have been obtained with
crimson clover wherever 1t has been used

s2E Use Good Seed.
The agricultural department has given
crimson clover the benefit OF special
bulletin and strongly recommends it. The
plant Is distinguished by its long head
| OF brilliant scarlet blossoms and by the
great depth to which the roots extend
down into the soil. 1t is not adapted to
CLIMATES cara where the winters are very Sc
we're. 1t may be pastured, cut for hay
or. used for green manure; but it's main
| advantage is that it goes on the land af-
| ter other crops are off and comes off be-
fore other crops go on the same land,
hence 1t really entails no cost for use of
the, land. 1t is claimed to be free of
weed Seeds as a rule and it is harvested
| before weeds can do much harm, but
occasionally weed seed will get in. Seeds
OF crimson clover from foreign countries
are sometimes adulterated with the seeds
| Of Egyptian clover, which are of the
same size and color; but the form tends
| more to egg shape, and there are deeper
| lines ON the edge where the rootlet, can
| be seen outlined OIL the seed; but in Grim
son clover this edge is about as smooth
as the back, while in Egyptian clover there
is a marked depression on each side of the
rootlet. Dodder is the weed that does the
most damage. The amount Of the seed
required for an acre varies under different
conditions. From twelve to twenty-five
pounds have been recommended, but usu-
ally from fifteen to twenty pounds is the
quantity required, though it is better to
use too much rather than too little. 1t is
Of advantage to test the terminating pow
err Of the seed if possible, as the seed may
be old Or not good, which is one of the
causes Of failures:

mate such a promise Each action
accomplished commits the American
nation more and more to the policy
sought to be introduced by the so
called imperialist element. No such
alliance is necessary unless we have
colonies to protect. Nor would it be
valuable to Great Britain unless we
had sufficient regular troops to
make it SO; since our citizen soldiers
would never volunteer in cause, the
certain result OF which would be, to
extend Great Britain's sphere of in
fiuence IN China, or to check Russia )
progress toward India
We wonder also how much futher
our Washington dictators will go in
attempting to shape the destiny OF this
nation without the knowledge, much
less the consent, Of its people. How
soon will they openly announce their
fixed determination of retaining
Cuba? When will they declare that
all those advocating bimetallism are
anarchists, traitors and rebels and
use the increased army they have
control OF for our suppression. For
years the American people have been
condemning highlands bullet and
whisky policy towards natives of AT
RIGA and Asia, and glorying, by con-
trast, in our own freedom from such
barbarous customs. Are we now, at
the first taste of foreign conquest, to
find that we are indeed the lion
whelp and that the old bruiser prin-
ciples must be doled out to us
through our mothers dugs and al
lowed to assert themselves, a la her
financial system? We think not.
We believe a great surprise is in
store for those who would ape Eng
lands customs and deliver this re-
public tool into her designing
hands. Federal statutes have not
yet denied the people the right of
suffrage and the prince of darkness
will have many imperialist subjects
before federal bayonets succeed in
unseating the peoples choice in con-
gress or the presidency, or in estab-
fishing a policy contrary to their be-
liefs and desires.

COMMON SENSE.

One necessary proceeding in the
enactment OF laws, which, in our
opinion, is obsolete and never salts
factory, is enrolment. We thinl,
our Legislature might we'll make a
change ID this direction aud permit
all public acts, documents and re-
cords, both state and county, to be
enrolled or entered of record in type
writing. By such an innovation not
only would time and expense be saw
ed to the people but all records
would be clearer, more legible dur
able and compact. This is the pro
gressive age and the book or record
typewriter is on the market-a ma
chine with which the operator prints
upon the open record book as easily
and rapidly as the improved Reming-
ton and its blonde haired motive
power will dispatch business com
munication. Records should be kept
according to improved methods
Eighty-seven book typewriters are
IN use in the auditors Office in Kings
county ~ Y. Another matter
one we have written of before-we
would like to see crystalline into law.
That is power in the legislature to
compel the Supreme Judicial court to
give an opinion as to the constitution
ahty OF intended acts before they are
passed through the legislature. A
constitutional amendment to this
effect would be best but we believe a
statute requiring such advice should
be enacted at once, as it would not
contravene any constitutional provision
and should answer the purpose. At
the worst, even il declared unconsti-
tutional, we could still approve the
trst and in this way put All end to
uncertainty that so generally obtains
after the adjournment OF a legislature
