the treatment of this trouble. Numerous
factors are involved in the matter, so that
only general statements are possible.
Every effort should be made to keep the
plants in good growing condition, for il
they become checked through lack Of
proper food or cultivation or both they are
more apt to burn. 1t is fact that where
the Bordeaux mixture is used for other
diseases burn is less apt to occur, and
this furnishes another instance of the
remarkable properties OF the fungicide.
Briefly, therefore, the plants should be
kept as vigorous as possible by good
cultivation, plenty OF available food, and
the application of Bordeaux mixture, as
recommended for early blight.

Art is not the greatest thing in the
world, although it is one of the sweet
est, muses. the San Francisco Chroni-
Gle. By the very feet that art is art,
and therefore a mere human applica-
tion of principles which appeal to the
lenses alone, it must forever remain
subordinate to those inner workings
of the soul, which in their nature par
take of the divine. When love and
duty come in conflict with pleasure in
the beautiful it is art that must 90
down. With the enthusiast indulgence
in art sometimes grows into q vast dis
sipation, which would not be possible

ings of the race to be permitted to

would take to die. He watched the
firing squad as it slowly filed into po-
sition. He counted them as they
wheeled into place. One, two, three,
four, five, six, and the officer. Why
did it take so many to kill q man?
But, then, not all the guns were
loaded.
It seemed to take a long time to
get everything ready, though perhaps
his thoughts were running alittle more
rapidly than usual. One thing brought
him satisfaction there would be
plenty Of time to sleep after it was all
over.
His imagination must be playing
him false again, else how was it that
he saw the white, agonized face OF his
mother there, breaking through that
solid line of blue on the right? He
wanted to rush to her and tell her it
was all a dream, that he would not be
hurt, but he could not bring his
limbs to obey his will, and then in a
moment the stern, fixed faces of the
men in front brought back with sick
ening force the'reality and awfulness
of it all.
1t must come to an end some time.
Yes, the officer at the head of the
squad badktepped a pace forward, and
a coMpahd was given that he could
Lot understand, but che guns we've
lowered with a jerk; another command,
and with a jerk and clang the guns
came to ''aim" and all seemed point
ing directly into his eyes. 1t would
soon be over.
There was a flash, but he could hear
no report. Would those bullets never
come, or must he stand there through
all eternity waiting for the end? Could
they have missed him? Perhaps he
was dead already. Death had come
with the flash, and death was not so
different from life, after all. Then
eyes, I am hit, after ALL" he shouted,
grabbing frantically at his left arm,
which suddenly seemed a mass of
molten iron. "Of all those guns only
one was loaded, and that has taken of
my ARM"
Dazel and stupid from sleep and
pain, he opened his eyes to see the re-
lief still some 20 yards away, but NOV
ing with the brisk swing of the regu-
lars to his post. His LETT arm seemed
on fire yet, but he managed to bring
his gun into position and challenge in
the usual manner

a Bit" said Morton, ''but it don't
amount to much, and I'm mighty glad
to get out of this hole even if my arm
is broke. It's a sight better than hay
ing the whole six in my carcass"
With those rather unintclligible
words Private Morton "fell in" aud
marched away to his quarters.
After the surgeon had fixed up his
arm it was some time before he could
reconcile his mind t, dreaming SO
much in the time it took that relief to |
march 80 steps.
How sweet it was to sink down ut
last upon that glorious couch, his army

feel the drowsiness creeping deli.

There is good reason to believe that
now we are outclassed in naval strength
only by Great Britain and France.
Italy has battleships than the
United States, but many of them are
ont Of date and some are unseaworthy.
Russia has a larger navy than ours, but
it is not well prepared for actual SER
vice and the requirements of modern
naval warfare. One of our great
points of superiority is the unequalled
skill of our gunners. The marksmen
Of the British navy are the best in
Europe, but ours are better still. The
most impressive object lessons fur.
nished by the Uuited States navy in
the war with Spain were those which
show the wonderful accuracy Of the
fire from u ~battleships and cruisers.
The Importance Of this point can hard
~ be estimated. A well-planted she'll
from a modern big gun will in many
cases settle the fate of the struck ship.
and the gunners of our navy beat the
world in hitting the place they aim at.

It takes q snail exactly fourteen

That, sleeping or waking, snakes
never close their eyes is a curious

Ants have brains larger in proper

In China carrier pigeons are pro-
tected from birds of prey by an ingen-
ious little apparatus consisting of
bamboo tubes fastened to the birds
bodies with thread passed beneath

action of the air passing through the
tubes produces q shrill, whistling
sound which keeps the birds Of prey
