The Department of Agriculture is do
Ing all it can to make the best of bad
matter-the free seed distribution. In
his annual report the secretary states
that the division of botany has been in
trusted the task Of testing all the seeds
sent out by the department, not only
those of the regular departmental dis
tribution, but those imported through
the recently established section of seed
and plant introduction and those pro-
cured in other ways for the expert
mental work of the various divisions.
Never before has the department dis
tributed seeds of higher purity and
germinative capacity than during the
past year. Furthermore, an elaborate
series of field tests was made to ascer-
tain whether the seeds were really OF
the varieties stipulated in the contract.
1t was found that in several cases the
varieties were wholly at variance with
the contract, seeds of cheaper varieties
having been substituted, presumably
by the subcontractors. The fact that
these varieties were not true to name
could not. OF course, be ascertained for
several months after the seeds were
distributed, but portion of the pur-
chase money was withheld. pending the
result of the field tests, and commen-
surate reduction was made in the price
paid for the seed. The principal bene-
fetal result of this action is expected
to lie in its warning to future con-
tractors that they will be paid for no
inferior seed, whether this inferiorlty
is due to themselves or to their sub
contractors.

EXPENSE OF NAVY INCREASED
Cost of Reorganization Proposed In Per
sonnei Bill More Than Two Millions.

Washington. Feb. 13.-The entire
cost of the reorganization of the navy
on the new lines, rs proposed in the
pending personnel bill, will be $1,000
56a.
This fact is set out in communica-
tion to the United States Senate by Sec
retary Long in answer to resolution
of inquiry introduced by Senator Jones
of Arkansas. Merging the line and en-
gineers, rs is proposed in the bill, the
cost of the combination would be ST.
1900, which is 100000 more than
the total of the present pay of both
branches.
The increase in the pay of the marine
corps is 81 DOS ,S3S. which is accounted
for by the increase in the number of
both officers and men. The new naval
appropriation bill also carries an ap-
preparation of Sill, ,O5O for pay of 1O,-
300 additional enlisted men.

SKATERS ON LAKE RESCUED.
Life Savers Bring People Ashore From a
Floe OF the Northern Suburbs of Chicago.

Life Savers Bring People Ashore From a
Floe OF the Northern Suburbs of Chicago.
Chicago, Feb. 14.-All of the five
young people from Rogers Park and
Lake Forest, who went adrift on the
ice of Lake Michigan yesterday after
noon, and who had been given up as
victims of either the severe cold or
the treacherous gaps in the ice. We're
re cued early to-day by the Chicago
life-saving crew.
The strangest feature of the rescue
was the fact that two distinct parties
which had been carried out on the ice
at two widely separated points met
each other during the night. joined
their fortunes and were saved to-
gether
Captain Fountain of the Chicago life
saving station organized party of
rescuers and left early in the morning
for Rogers Park. The party went to
Sherman avenue first and there saw
what seemed to be n group of persons
on the ice about two miles and n half
from shore. Captain Fountain and his
crew ran out their boat and signalled
the group on the ice. The rescuers
started across the ice on foot and soon
had the people safely in the boat and
landed on shore.
All of the party We're taken to the
residence of f. f. Brush, 1135 Chase
avenue, where they were attended by
a physician. Miss Manney had been
wrapped up in two big ulsters that
the men in the party gave her. and
although she suffered a great deal
from the severe cold, no serious results
are anticipated.
Gilpin observer., 1899-02-16

There are survivals of old-world
superstitions still existing in this coun-
try which, though perhaps harmless,
bring curious sense of wonder to a
rejecting mind. A Pennsylvania
German" whose wife had recently de-
serted him. ascribed her disappearance
solely to witchcraft. The customary
method of procedure among his people
in such cases is to immerse a pair of
the delinquent's stockings in pot of
water, place the pot upon hot fire and
keep it boiling for twenty-four hours.
This is supposed to be infallible. The
belief is that it will break the spell
under which the woman is laboring,
and will cause her such uneasiness that
she will gladly return home, but will
also inflict dreadful pains upon the
person who had bcwitched her. The
husband followed the formula, but the
result Is not stated.

A newspaper correspondent, writing
from Moscow, states that the Russian
government is extending it's plans for
a railway through Persia, so as to
take in Arabia and the Red sea coun-
try. There is already Russian rail-
way from Resht, on the southwestern
coast of the Caspian sea, to Kasbin,
near Teheran. The Russian plan to
carry a railway line from Teheran to
Bushir, on the Persian gulf, is ex-
tended, not abandoned, and the project
when developed will give railway COM
munication between European Russia
and northeastern Africa, besides max
ing possible the mobilization of troops
near the Afghan frontier.

Secretary Wilson of the agricultural
department had less to say on the pres
ident's recent trip south than most of
the other members of the party. He
did take occasion, however, to advise
some of the colored people whom he
met to plant clover and raise sheep
and cattle. The trouble" he said, sis
that you keep too many dogs and too
few sheep. The cost of feeding one
dog would raise two sheep or one hos."
Another economic statement was that
if all the salaries received by the poll
ticians were compared with the value
of the eggs laid every year, it would
be found that there was more money
in hens than in politics.

great Admiral and the preparations to
receive him.
1T almost saddens me-" said he, "to
see what my people are doing for me.
The pride and qualification is immense,
and | cannot express the appreciation
/ feel. I did not know, I did not re-
ally perceive until this morning the
splendid welcome that my countrymen
are giving me. The Governors Of
many States are coming to see me,
and troops from Florida, Georgia and
other far away States are on their way
to take part in receiving me-
The Admiral stroked the head of a
taWny- haired dog, the chow dog of a
Chinese breed that appears in the illus
trated interviews with the Admiral.
Bob, here he said, "is not well.
He yearns to be ashore. He is sick to
get a little grass, and to scamper
around. I feel a good deal that way
myself. | am mighty glad to get
home. It is not good for a. man any
more than a dog to live on shipboard
for twenty-three months''
The Admiral said that he felt tired,
but he did not look so. His complex
ion is a clear bronze, his hazel eyes
bright, his bearing brisk and rather
jaunty. Some deep lines are under his
eyes and around his mouth, but his
voice is singularly clear and pleasant.
The Admiral's whole presence is more
of man in his fullest powers. His
manner is gentle and kind, but he Is
exceedingly wary, and did not permit
himself to wander off into politics, or
to express those positive views he no
doubt holds about the Philippines and
American affairs there His attention
was brought to interviews in which he
is described as going rather fully into
the affairs of the F'ilipinos and their
capacity for government.
II cannot stand for any interviews
giving my opinions on political subjects
