too late, to have good garden Let
the ground get dry; then break thor
oughly. Use all the manure your
conscience will let you; spread it
broadcast; mix it thoroughly with the
soil. Throw up very light beds JUS:
enough to keep the rainwater from
settling around the little plants.
Plant your seeds, if convenient, just
rsf before nishti ai cover lightly " With hana
near the surface. Then be sure to
press the soil tightly around the seed.
You can DO this with a PLANK. Lay
the plank along on the seed row and
walk upon it. or roll the beds with an
empty barrel. This is easily done and
does good work
If your soil bakes. loosen it up with
Mandrake each side Of seed row. No

clares thai no other disease exhibits
such an immense increase during the
last half century as cancer, and that
probably no single factor is naaxe ko-
tent III discriminating the outbreak of
cancer in the predisposed than high
feeding. There can be no doubt, he
says, that the greed fo- food mani
tested by modern communities IS ai-
together ont Of proportion to their re-
qulrements : many indications, in
fact, point to the Sluttonous consump-
ton of meat which is such character
lstic feature of the present age as like
ly to be especially harmful in this re-
spect. DR.. Williams cites statistics
to show that the consumption of meat
has for many years been advancing,
until it has now reached the amazing
total 13l pounds per head yearly.
which is more than double what it
was half century ago. when the con-
ditions of life were really more exact
ing and more compatible with high
feeding. DIR. Williams remarks that
when excessive quantities of such
highly stimulating forms Of nutriment
are ingested by persons whose cellular
metabolism Is defective, ii seems prob

No Grass For Working Hcrscs.

times, If old hay Is scarce, the farmer
trles to economic by cutting some
clover, and after drying it nearly into

even this has TO be given very care

That is better than giving grass or

horses that have hard work to do.

From the CONSTITUTIONS Bow
Captain Samuel Dewey. who said
he was q cousin of Admiral Dewey,
and who had figured pic:uresauelv IN
American history, died recently IN q
tenement house III Phi!adelphia. He
was ninety three years old, aad passed
away poor and alone
he was { native Of Falmouth. Mass,
the son OF an army captain, but when
talrteen years Old became seaman.
He rose rapidly and became frs. mate
OF the ship Topaz He followed the
sea until he was 1yenty-seven wears
old, and it was after the last VOYAGE
that the picturesque. IL ncident occurred.
1t was in 1854 when the recon
struc.ed frigate Constitution was
launched in Charlestown, Mass. The
commandant of the navy ward there
was Commodore Elliott, supporter Of
Andrew Jackson. He replaced the
SHIPS allegorical tigurehead by like
ness of the President. Commodore
Hull opposed this idea, but it was
sanctioned by the Secretary Of the
Navy.
When it became known that the
frlgate bore the figure of President
jackson there was a sharp discussion
throughout the country. The frigate
was anchored III Charlestown Harbor
and guarded by two other warships.
1t was found one morning. however,
that the tigurehead had been cut away.
The daring act was performed by Cap
tain Dewey, then twenty eight years
old. He was audacious enough to
carry the tigurehead to Washington
ant. present it to President Jackson.
He engaged in the South American
shipping trade as ship broker in
1886, with Offices at No. =. South
street, New York. Having amassed
considerable wealth, he abandoned
the brokerage business in 1S45 and
