A vALIse WORTH $4,000 IN CASH.
1t Was Lost and Kicked Around and
Finally Recovered.


- Honolulu, Sept. q, via Victoria, p.
here Aug. 80 on the steamship Aus
trilia, lost a valise containing nearly
$4,000 in bank notes, bonds and sugar
stocks in the Occidental hotel just after
he arrived in San Francisco. The va
lise was shipped by mistake on the
Nippon Maru as part of the per-
sonal effects of Punser John Piver.
The latter discovered the mistake be-
fore arriving here and left the valise on
the Pacific Mail wharf. He evident
ly had no idea of the value of the
contents of the valise, as he made no
report to the steamship companys
agents, and the valise containing a
small fortune lay comparatively un-
protected among other uncalled-for

a search being made. The lost valise
was intact.
The steamers Maura and Kinau of
the Wilder company have a salvage
claim for about $4,000 against the bark
Colusa, which they hauled OFF the reef
near Kahuali on the Oath. A part of
this will probably go to Captains Nc

Lucky Plants.
Many plants are considered lucky TO
dream of. In olden days an even-leafed
ash or four-leaved clover were special
favorites, while to dream Of them was
supposed to be sure sign of a speedy
marriage. Irish girls still place the
lucky four-leaved shamrock under their
pillows that they may dream of their
lovers, and the charm Is supposed to
be rendered more eficacious If the leaf
Is worn in the right shoe during the
preceding day.
1t is not only in love affairs, however
that a four-leaved shamrock is said to
bring luck. It's possessor will have luck
at cards and racing, witchcraft will
will be able to deceive him, but he must
never give it away or even show 1T tC
anyone, or his luck will vanish.
-leaved clover is considered lucky
in America to-day. In Herrick's time
it was used at weddings, for he speakf
of 'lucky four-leaved grass being
strewn before q bridal pair, and a
three-leaved clover or trefoil, was tied
around childrens necks in a silken bag
to ward off evil.
Thorns and thistles were supposed tc
be very lucky plants to dream of. TIC

meant long life. while the plum, elder
and many kinds of flowers, and partic-
ularly violets, are by no means pleasant

Agricultural Brevities.

The results from the continued ex-
periments of the Rhode Island station
appear to indicate that many farmers
might find the use of lime on their land
a paying financial operation, even
though the first cost of the investment
seems to them forbiddingly great.
]. FL. Hale of fruit growing fame
says there is less danger from injury
to the trees by freezing in winter when
the soil is given frequent cultivation
during the growing season and then a
cover crop grown to cover the soil in
the winter and to plow under to add
humus to the soil the next year.
Thorough fall cultivation seems to
be the only practical means yet known
Of destroying wireworms in the soil.
Sweet corn, if allowed to remain on
the stalk and cut anu put in shock
before being injured by frost, will keep
fresh for considerable time, says
John Hobson in American Gardening.
Smudge fires can be used to adyan-
tage, according to the department of
agriculture, for orchards, vineyards
and ground plants, and even for the
smaller grain fields, and would be par
ticularly eficacious in protecting crops
and plants in low or bottom lands ozer
which on still nights the, smoke from
smudge fires would settle.

cellar after they have frozen in the
fall, packing little fine mellow earth
about them, and then simply see that
the plants are kept moist. Whoever
owns a garden with no rhubarb in 1t
should see that some is planted there
forthwith.
A warm cellar will hasten the crop,
but a moderately cool one will give q
finer product and probably better
yield. The length Of time between
planting and harvesting varies from
less than three weeks to more than
two months, depending chiefly upon
the temperature. Allowing the roots
to freeze in the field will greatly IA
cilitate forcing. Large roots should
yield five to ten pounds per plant, and
every ten ounces Of that yield will
make delicious pie. The color of the
cooked product viii be much brighter
If it is placed upon the stove in cold
water, and it will be sweeter If the
sugar is added just before it is eaten.

the mother Of the old plank road
regime.
4 While these plank roads lasted they
were good, but they were found to be
defective because Of their short life.
Gravel had been found In the mean
time, and the building Of gravel roads
began. Finding this load too great,
the landowners turned the highways
over to ''road companies" and they
inaugurated the toll road system. The
state recently passed laws which en-
abled the counties to purchase these
toll systems, and today there are less
than 200 of a total of $4,000 of Indiana's
graded and gravel roads that are un-

mer which will attract attention OF sci
entific road builders. In their construc-
tion draintile is made one Of the most
important Of the materials. The coun-
ty is building 125 miles of these high
ways at a cost of 81, 400 per mile. They
are probably the only roads Of the kind
in the world. They have 3S foot

ever, is but II feet wide. Three feet

run two lines of inch draintile. Over
them the road proper is built.
The road proper is IL feet in width

through the macadam is carried away
by the tile, and the tile also serve to
keep the surfacing dry and compact.
Should the bitches fail to carry off the
