WASHINGTON, July. 3. = Secretary
Alger made the emphatic statement
again that he has no intention of resign
ing from the cabinet at present. He
SAYS that there has been no legitimate
reason advanced why he should give up
his place at the head of the war depart
ment simply because his candidacy for
the United States senate has been made
public.
The secretary repudiates the reputed
alliance with Governor Pingree and in
response to direct inquiry he said:
II have no political alliance with
Firgree, that is no more of an alliance
than l have with 500 other Republicans
of Michigan who have assured me of
their support in my candidacy for the
United States senate"

rather than any preparation of ground
herbs. You will get more strength
from them and better results of sea-

want in soups, in made-over dishes, in
dishes prepared la Lyonnaise, and
also for a garnish, 1t makes one of the
prettiest and most decorative window
plants. Its fine foliage, its beautiful
green, its thick, thrifty growth make 1t
as desirable for window garden as
for table decoration or flavor In
food. 1t is easily grown. and the
leaves which are plucked are soon re-
newed. If you have n sunny south
window in the kitchen or dining room,
by all means set the parsley growing.

I have good wind pump on the
north side Of the house, about four
yards away. 1t is over good well
which seldom, If ever, goes dry. The
water is soft. The water is forced
through two-inch piping up into the
house tank, which is u large galvanized
tank in the kitchen. 1t has box frame
over it and large lid TO cover 1t up.
When the tank lacks just few inches
from running over in the house it be-
gins to flow out at a standing pipe. 1t
flows through piping under the ground
to.the cellar. 1t goes in at piping to
the milk trough. 1t flows to the lower
end of the cement trough, and then
when the trough is so full it begins to
run out, but still leaves certain
amount in the trough. After it leaves
the cellar 1t flows through piping under
the ground to the lower side of the
horse lot, where it comes up in the
large tank. There are two other tanks
on the place that this same pump fills.
Now, we have everything full of fresh
water, and you may be sure that the
cooks in the kitchen have had good
supply Of fresh water, for all the water
pumped by the pump first went
through the house tank, and it all
had to flow through the milk trough,
too, so it has been very useful already
the milk and butter are kept cool. We
have it arranged handy for bathing.
The water never gets warm on the
house tank, for fresh water is constant
ly flowing through. The piping is be-
low freezing point.-Charles W. Love-
law, in Practical Farmer.

Fond of Eggs,

Among the animals held sacred by
the ancient Egyptians was the ichneu-
mon, or mongoose, which. because of its
fondness for the eggs of crocodiles and
snakes, proved valuable in keeping
those obnoxious animals from multi
plying too fast. Rev. Chauncey Naples.
q missionary to East Africa, describes
the way in which this peculiar animal,
which in size and general appearance
somewhat resembles the cat, disposes
of Its favorite article of diet.
The mongoose, on receiving an egg,
Immediately goes to wall. and turn
ing It's back 10 it. takes the egg in its
fore paws and throws it backward be-
tween its legs against the wall so as
to break it. 1t then sucks the shell dry.
The funny thing is that whatever we
give 1t that looks like an egg-say an
old bone or n stone-it evidently mis-
takes for an egg, and treats it accord
ingly. 1t is very ridiculous to see il.
for hours together trying to break a
round stone or bone by throwing 1t
against wall.

seas, where the marriage is performed.
Then the couple will return to their
Mormon homes, and in their temple of
worship will be sealed" in wedlock
according to ritualistic customs of the
church. 1t is in evidence that within
the past year a number of the most
prominent Mormons In Utah have VIC
lated the Federal statute. and have
taken unto themselves additional
wives. This seems to show that APP
parent submission to the law when first
enacted was only a temporary public
cessation in the traffic of wives, and
the Government is making an active
move to compel Utah to maintain her
Statehood on constitutional lines.
In Chicago and other large cities, and
in many rural communities, unusual
activity of the Mormon missionaries
has been noticed during the past year.
AS result of this work there has
recently been a decided influx of con
verts into the sequestered valleys of
Utah, Wyoming and New Mexico, the
headquarters of orthodox Mormonism.
1t is heterogeneous mixture of human.
ity that the missionaries send back to
the fold" and noticeable fact about
the whole thing is that women FREEDOM
mate among the converts. Many re-
ports from sections where Mormon
missionaries have been at work show
that the Latter Day Saints emissaries
have been driven out of the commune
ty, but in other instances they have
gathered in converts, innocent and ig-
norant, beguiled by fatuous promises
and deluded by specious representa-
tons regarding the religious aspect of
the matter.
One hotbed of primitive Mormonism
is still in existence. Inc the southern
part of Utah the polysamous practices
of the Latter Day Saints are still car
ried out. Here Mormons can take n
new wife every month, il so minded,
and nobody molests them. The settle
ments are very seldom visited, except
by Mormons. The nearest railroad
point is 200 miles distant. and no stage
line traverses the 100 miles of territory
over which the orthodox settlements
are scattered. The only regular con-
nection this community has with the
outer world is an old Indian who brings
the few letters that are written and
takes them out. 1t is without exception
the most heaven-forsakcn country the
eye of man ever rested upon. In some
sections the alkali element prevails ia
such an extent as to clean the ground
of the scanticst vegetation. Wide
smooth plains stretch out before the
eye, white In the distance like snow
banks. In other places the alkali is Sc
strong that the earth when wet rises
like bread under yeast.

superior ouality in Tobacco

The most important requisite of the
Tobacco plant is potash. This can be
told by anyone who has noticed the
great proportion of ash which tobacco,
whether in cigar or pipe, leaves after
it has been burned. On the other hand
heterogeneous manure, which makes a
rampant growth of leaves, do not pro-
duce the finest quality. The leaves are
thick and do not show the delicate tex
ture of the leaf which indicates high
qualities. OF course tobacco land needs
to be rich, SO as to make n large leaf,
but to secure tobacco that will burn
freely there should always be an ex.
cess of potash In the soil. Stable
manure is Objectionable, not only be
cause it generally lacks potash, but be-
cause in midsummer when it heats it
furnishes such an excess of nitrogen
that the leaf is gorged with sap. A
small amount of nitrate of potash on
the seed bed will give the tobacco plant
q start, so that when transplanted into
land only moderately rich it will make
as large leaf as necessary, and give
1t very superior quality.
