Extorminating w eeds.

A weed is very properly termed "a
plant out place" but when a good,
healthy burdock, nettle, teazei, ragweed
"r pigwced springs up beside poppy
or marigold the order seems to be re-
versed the weed seemingly thrives just
as well, while the desirable plant be-
comes decidedly ''out of place"
A vigorous use of the hoe at once
upon the appearance of the little weed
seedlings, where hoe can be used, is
the quickest and most effective way to
dispose of them, but if they are allowed
to grow for few days they may be
easily pulled up root aud branch. If a
weed has attained any size never cut it
off with hoe, but pull it up, or gener-
ally new shoots will quickly come from
the old crown. Whatever the way or
means. keep the weeds down entirely, at
all hazards, for they rob the soil and
render otherwise slightly places decided
ly Objectionable A wise gardener is he
who never allows weed of any kind to
60 to seed about his place for a consid-
cradle distance about the outskirts, and
thereby saving himself many backache
the following season. When large weeds
about to seed are pulled up they should
be burned. as they might terminate.

Cause Of Sour Milk.

There is a popular notion that milk is
soured by thunder. 1t probably orignat-
ed in the fact that milk becomes sour i'm
mediateIy after thunderstorm. How
ever, it is not the sound, but the general
state of the atmosphere that is to blame
Milk sours because it is warm. The
most oppressive atmosphere that imme-
diately precedes thunder storm, en-
couragcs the activity of germs in tho
milk, and they multiply very rapidly
The same condition normally exists in
the stomach. 1t is moist aud warm, the
temperature being about 100 degrees f. &,
so that milk, when retained there. sours
very quickly. If milk is taken alone,
it passes out of the stomach in about an
hour, but if consumed with vegetables
or fruit. it is obliged to remain in the
stomach with them, and often creates no
small disturbance. -. Science Siftings.

Protecting Trees,

One of the great nuisances about trees
in summer is the ravages of insects, and
to successfully combat them requires
careful and vigorous action. A quite
common method is to wrap band of
cotton around the trunk saturated with
some liquid obnoxious to the class of
insects that crawl up the trunk, but
perhaps better is the more modern pre-
parations, such as caterpillar lime, which
being thick and sticky, are almost posi-.
tive barriers, if put on thoroughly
The preparation should be at least one
fourth Of az inch thick on the tree aud
in band five or six inches wide.

Two Flat-Ilunting Young Women
Finally saccecd I'm Solving
PuzzIinE Problem.

They had been flat-hunting-they be.
ing two young women, self-supportinp.
whose lives were directed toward ;he
seemingly impossible task OF raising
public aesthetics by way of the pen
and brush. Their greatest fault was
III being poor; their greatest glory in
beng young and good-looking md fond
OF impossible situations
Said one janitor after another: I'VE
don't take single ladies'"
From the point of view of the fiat
owner" said one to the other, "a mar
rlage certificate is as necessary as gas
range or steam heat"
They were asked for references be-
lore they had time to state their wants;
they were snubbed, neglecied; shown
10 impossible back flats up endless rows
ri stairs whose height correspondent to
the loftiness of the rent. They were
conscious that they did not suit the
august parsonage who presides over the
Hats and for whom the homely word
Janitor seems ridiculously Inadequate.
One morning the worm turned.
They arrayed themselves in their
best. They dragged from their lair
two ornate lorgnettes of antique silver,
bought at pawnbroker's sale. -'
They interviewed janitor. Before he
had time to follow in the steps of his
predecessors they transfxed him with
carefully raised lorgnettes. I'VE are
looking for an apartment, but before
we do so we wish to be assured of the re-
spectability of the house, of yourself,
OF the owner, otherwise we do not care
10 waste our time"
The janitor gasped. then began to
apologize for his own existence. for the
people in the house, for the whole
street. He would have even erased the
city from the map of the world if by so
doing he could have soothcd their au-
gust disapproval-that is. seemingly.

graciously. You may show us what
you have"
They had grasped the key to q diff

THE WAR DRAGGING.

TheWashington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Tribune, says:
Washington, June 6.-There is a
growing belief in administration circles
that the rebellion in the Philippines
will be prolonged for some months.
Operations will continue without in
terruption during the rainy season,
which now promises to be less severe
than usual, and this will permit great
er activity on the part of the American
troops. But hope of speedy settle
ment and immediate pacifcation of
the island is waning. 1t is not thought
it will be necessary to send more troops
than the 80, 200 for which General Otis
has already asked, because little could
be done with a greater number. 1t
seems to be a question of catching the
rabbit, as in the old receipt for cook
ing. If the Americans could bring
about general engagement between
the mass of the Filipino army and the
United States forces, the insurgents
would be wiped off the slate. But that
seems impossible, for it seems much
easier to run away if a soldier is cloth
ed in nothing but his skin and car.
fridge belt, than it is to pursue and
capture if a soldier is wearing the hot
uniform of the United States. This
seems to be about the situation in the
Philippines.

DEWEY STARTS FOR HOME.
Bands Of British and italian War
Ships Play In His Honor.

Honghmg, June 6.--The United
States cruiser Olympia, with Admiral
Dewey on board, left here at o'clock
this afternoon. There was no demon
stration. 1t was blowing and raining.
Consul Wildman remained on the
Olympia until the last minute, with a
few friends of the Admiral, who went
on board to bid him farewell. At
O'Clock, sharp, the ensign was run up to
the peak, and large Admiral's flag
was hoisted at the main. The Olympia
moved of with q marine guard drawn
up on her poop.
While passing the British cruiser
Powerful, the band of the Olympia
played the British National anthem,
and gave bugle salute. There was nc
firing. The Powerful replied with a
similar salute, and her band played
"Hail Columbia.
As the Olympia passed the Italian
Admiral's ship, the Olympia band
played the Italian National anthem
and gave an Admiral's salute, which
compliments were returned.
Then the Olympia band played "Auld
Lang Syne," and the band Of the Pow
erful played "Home, Sweet Home.
Admiral Dewey is apparently anxious
to avoid all demonstrations.

DEATH OF MR.. BEN F. ALLEN.

All that was mortal of Mr.. Ben AL
len will be laid away to-day, the funer-
al services being held at the Candy
home on East Chillicothe street, at two
o'clock.
For several months he was a sufferer
from Bright's disease and his friends
were aware that he was slowly but
surely slipping away from them.
He spent some time at Eureka Springs
and for little while his condition
seemed to have improved, but soon he
began to grow weaker until a few days
before his death he was confined to his
bed.
All that money or loving care could
do, was done for him, but he was not
to tarry longer in his earthly home and
Tuesday forenoon he fell asleep, and
about two o'clock the spirit took
its flight.
Mr.. Allen was nearly sixty years OF
age, and leaves wife and three sisters
to mourn a loving husband and brother.
Every one liked Mr.. Allen. Children
having been denied to him, his great
heart went out to those in other fami-
lies, who speak tenderly of the kind
words and beautiful roses he delighted
to give. For years he was employed il
the Case drug store and we know o1
two little girls who never could pass
without going in to get glass of soda
and there were many others of the
same kind. All classes loved Ben AL
len, for he was kind to every one. He
was member of the Lutheran church
will conduct the funeral services
which will be in charge of his Masonic
brethren.

TRUST OR BUsTp

The Banks of New York City are
calling halt on Trusts, and several pro-
jected Trusts have gone up in smoke.
The Carnegie Trust, the Plow and
Machine Trust, S75, 900, 900
WoOlen Trust, and an Eastern dis
tillery combination have failed to get
money on their stock and no Trust has
been formed. The banks will loan money
on the stock of Trusts, where it is not
fictitious, on condition that the stock is
not to be thrown on the market, as the
market is already overloaded with
stocks. This means that stock will not
be thrown upon the market at three
times its value, and that trusts formed
for watering stock and gambling can
not secure loans. But Trusts formed
for actual business can secure loans,
according to their capital.

''The blood is the life.' Science has never
gone beyond that simple statement of script
ure. But it has Illuminated that statement
and given it a meaning ever broadening with
the increasing breadth of knowledge. When
the blood is bad" or impure it is not alone the
body which suffers through disease. The
brain is also clouded, the mind and Judgment
are affected, and many an evil deed or impure
thought may be directly traced to the impur-
ity of the blood. No one can be well balanced
In mind and body whose blood is impure. No
one can have a wholesome and pure life un-
less the blood is pure, Foul blood can be made
pure by the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical

THE Mayor of Havana has prohibited
expectoration on the street. Fora city
that a year ago emptied its sewerage
into open cutters, this shows rapid
progress. But there is suspicion that
the people will spit upon such d law.
1t ought to suggest itself to every one
that expectoration on the sidewalk is
not just the sweet, clean thing. but a
dictum, a Mayor prohibiting such
things, in this day and age Of the world
will only be likely to beget disrespect

DREYFUs, the French Captain, who
was banished few years ago to q
lonely island off French Guiana, Africa,
returns this week for a new trial. He
was the victim of an outrageous con-
spiracy and was convicted of high trea-
son by forged testimony to screen
officers above him. There ought to be
q death penalty for such crimes. To
secure his return for new trial almost
caused revolution in France. Such q
state of affairs could not exist in Amer
ica-not until bossism has born its legit-
innate fruit.
