SATISFACTORY TO ITALY.
Recent Negotiations with This Gov,
ernment Relative to n Chinese Port.

Recent Nerotiatians with This Cow
ernment Relative to n Chinese Port.
The Italian government through Its rep
resentatives in Washington, lately laid be-
fore the authorities here its purpose to ask
of China a port on San Nun bay. and in
vited an expression from this government
as to Its attitude. The circumstances OF
the negotiations, as explained in this au-
thoritative quarter. are as follows:
When Italy determined to seek a port on
the Chinese coast she addressed those
powers having large interests in China,
notifying them of her purposes. owing to
the good viii between Italy ana this coun-
try, as well as The American interest in
China, a notification was presented to the
State Department here. While Italy Is said
to have had no desire, through this nOtin-
cation. to enlist the support of the United
States. she was desirous of pursuing the
usual diplomatic course when move OF
this character is contemplated, namely,
learn whether the United States would be
either, first. favorable: second. disinterest-
ed; third, opposed In short before pro-
ceedng Italy desired to know what atti-
tude the United States would take as to thu
Italian demand on China.
The reply of Secretary Hay. which is said
to have been verbal, was In response to
this notification and soundings from the
Italian authorities. In this reply the Presi-
dent is said to have given his personal con-
currence. In substance. il was an
nouncement that the United States would
in no way change the attitude ii had main
tained thus far when Great Britain. Ger
many and Russia made advances toward
China, but would continue to observe pO-
Sition of diSinterestedness. Instead Of be-
ing denial of any request. the reply was
accepted by The Italian government as en-
tirely satisfactory. and as placing il in the
same position other European bowers
who had sought ports in China. This il is
said, brings the negotiations At Washington
TO close in manner entirely satisfactory
to the Italian authorities. The report ed
action of Italy since then in making its
demand on China and following it up with
threats OF demonstration have not been
officially communicated here

American Lime.
Red Star Lime,
First Game of Dominoes.

Two monks who had been committed to
a lengthy seclusion, contrived to beguile the
dreary hours of their confinement, without
breaking the rule Of silence which had been
imposed on them, by showing each other
small fiat stones marked with black dots
BY preconcerted arrangement, the win
ner would inform the other player of his
victory by repeating in an undertone the
first line of the vesper prayer In process
of time the two monks managed to complete
the set of stones and to perfect the rules
of the game, so that when the term of
incarceration had expired the game was
SO interesting that 1t was generally adopted
by all the inmates of the monastery as a
lawful pastime
1t very soon spread from town to town
and became popular throughout Italy; and
the first line Of the vespers was reduced to
the single word Domino by which name the
game has ever since been known.

SOME LATE INVENTIONS.

An insulating caster ard electric
switch for use on tables and chairs
fitted with electric apparatus has the
wheel made Of glass, with q metallic
contact arm pivotally secured TO the
frame of the caster to form an electric
connection with floor plate
Umbrellas and parasois can be car
ried without the necessity Of holding
them in the hands by using a new car
rier, consisting Of rod with clasps at
each end adapted to grip the umbrella,
the rod being fastened to the belt by
cords or a chain ending in hook.
Street cars can be easily replaced
when deraile8 by a new device consist
ing OF a curved plate to be clamped to
the side Of the rail with cross groove
at the top, which slants toward the rail
to allow the car to slide down in place
when it reaches the top.
To prevent the stealing Of hats, coats
and umbrellas in restaurants and
other public places a Wisconsin man
has designed a rack with a metallic
fram6 to close over a set Of hooks, the
frame being hinged at the top and
locking in a socket at the bottom to be
released by a key.
An Englishman has patented col
lar which will be appreciated by every
one vino wears starched collars, the por.
tons around the buttonholes being
lined with nOnstarchabie material,
like flannel, covered with a thin layer
OF the. li9en. which will not. receive

While the stone fences common in
all sections where stone abounds cost
nothing for material, ana with hard
work are therefore within any ones
ability TO construct they are not usual
ly very satisfactory. Horned stock
soon learn that the top stones can be
easily displaced and then the fence can
be jumped. The best way to stop
jumping Is to place barbed wire over
tho fence, fastening It to stakes firmly
in the ground. II may seem cruel. but
the stock must learn not to jump. and
they won't get hurt. But when sheep
have learned to jump low stone wall,
even barbed wire over It will not
stop them. There must be several
wires, 50 dose together that the sheep
cannot get their heads between. That
will stop the first sheep, and no one Of
the flock win try to jump after the
leader has turned back.

straIninr MiII,.

There are some points about strain
ing milk that are not generally thought
Of, and therefore the milk IS not wholly
cleared Of Its bacteria. In the first
place It Is important that the mix
should be put through the strainer and
set where its cream is TO rise as soon
as possible after it comes from the cow.
1t often aceumulates bacteria very rap
idly If left In stables exposed TO foul
doors. Besides, If left long some Of the
cream will rise and Will be so mixed
with the milk that what does not cling
to the strainer cloth or wire will not
rise as cream again. The strainer
should be thoroughly washed by dip
ping II first in cold water and moving
1t rapidly through both ways, so that
bacteria win not adhere to the under
side, as they are apt to do If the rinsing
water Is merely poured on the strainer
from above. Then repeat this process
with water pretty near scalding heat.
In that way if there are any bacteria
on the strainer they viii be killed.

Clover Fails on Glover Sod.

clover rails on Glover Sod.
Almost all farmers know that It Is
not safe to plow a clover sod, or, In
fact, any other sod in the fall, and then
SOW wheat with the expectation of get
ting a clover catch from seed next
spring. There have been various rea-
sons assigned for this, the old one be-
ing that the clover sod while It Is rot
ting in the soil 'pOisons" the land for
clover until the rotting Is completed.
But 1t Is quite as impossible TO seed
with clover on any newly plowed sod,
and that dispOses of the clover poison
ing theory. The true explanation seems
to be that when a sod Of any kind IS de-
caying under the furrow It allows the
soil above It to fall down, thus destroy
ing the slight hold which the young
clover plant has, and obiiging It to re-
gain its hold before the Leaf willis and
kills the root Clover win come up
well enough on a clover or any other
kind Of sod, but unless there are al
most constant rains during the spring
little of st VIII live. Even a timothy
seeding does not do well on a newly
plOwed sod, though in young plants the
proportion of leaf to root is much less
in the grass than it Is In any kind of
clover.

As these insects do not eat the leaves
or buds, internal poisons Ike london

them, but something which kills bg

and simplest of the remedies Is good

by dissolving one pound Of a standard

water.
