The Road to Wealth.

I'm my opinion the secret ofm oney-
making depends chiefly upon five
things: Push, 'squareness,' clearhead-
edness, economy. and rigid adherence
to the rule of not overworking. Too
much work is worse than no work ut
all. It undermines the constitution
and units man mentally and physi-
cally for the battle of life. Ten hours
day of steady work is as much a.
any man-no matter how robust
ought to attempt. In addition to these
things avoid being too grasping; bette,
make a small profit by sure means
than attemp. to make larger one las
uncertain and risky measures. An

In order to make the

For nearly a week past the peasants
on the South of England roads have
been amazed at the spectacle of q
small herd of elephants slowly wcnd-
ing their way Londonward.
These monster animals have just
walked the whole distance from
Southampton to Earl's Court, where
they will form part of the Greater
Britain Exhibition.
Their keepers took them through
country lanes and avoided as far as
possible passing through tho larger
towns. Many horses were terrified at
the sight of the great quadrupeds. At
night the animals were stabbed in farm
buildings along the route, and several
keepers who had accompanied them
from Africa took care of them on their
trip to London. This is the first time
that q herd of elephants has ever
walked through Southern England

Scabby Potatoes.

Scabby Potatoes.
Potato scab is spread in a number
Of ways. Scabby seed and ground on
which scabby potatoes have been
grown, will grow a scabby crop.
Manure from stables where stock has
been fed on infested potatoes, will
spread the disease, for the passage of
fungi through the animal system never
destroys the germs. Surface water
flowing from an infested field will
carry the disease to lower land.
Flows and cultivators, unless they are
thoroughly cleaned, will disseminate
the disease, if they have been used in
the cultivation of diseased crop.
Seed treated with corrosive subli-
mate can be planted with safety. The
seeds soaked for one and half hours
in a solution of two and one-fourth
ounces of corrosive sublimate to fif-
teen gallons of water. The potatoes
should be cleaned before being i'm
mer,ed. At the expiration of the
time stated, take the potatoes out OIL
the solution and spread out to dry,
The potatoes may be cut before or af.
ter the soaking. A good plan of max:
ing the solution and soaking the pota
toes is to dissolve the sublimate in TIVE
gallons of hot water and pour it int
an open head barrel. Add thirteen
gallons of water. Now put the pota
toes in coffee sack and immense fo
the time stated. Stir the solution
from time to time.
But no treatment of the seed vii
prevent the crop from scabbing if tn
ground is full of scab. The only wa,
to rid the ground of the fungi is b,
putting it to growing q rotation o
crops, such as grass, corn and wheat
No root crops should be grown O,
such soil. When potatoes are scabbe'
the disease will grow worse all tn,

Gardens as q Part Of the Farm.

No farm is complete without kitch-
en- garden. 1t is very late, but not
Too late, to have a 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-just
enough to keep the rainwater from
settling around the little plants.
Plant your seeds, if convenient, just
before night; cover lightly with hand
rake. Small seed should be planted
near the surface. Then be sure to
press the soil tightly around the seed.
You can do this with 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
work in the garden pays better than
this rolling and raking. The rolling
will nearly always secure good
stand. All gardeners know how i'm
portant this is. The raking kills weeds
of grass in the sprout as soon as up,
and makes the soil warmer, which is
very important to the health of young
plants.
Turnips, kale, cabbage, collards,
spinach and other salad crops should
be sown in abundance. They are good
for the table, the pantry, the pigs
and the COWS. Beets, beans, onions,
cucumbers, satisfy, cantelopes,
squashes, peas, and others, accord
ing to taste, can soon furnish variety
and plenty. Look after the garden

The discovery last summer Of re-
markable asteroid, since named Eros,
which periodically approaches the
earth nearer than any other heavenly
body except the moon, has led Ger
man astronomer, Herr J. Bauschinger,
to suggest that Mars itself should
henceforth be regarded as an asteroid,
instead of as a major planet. The
comparative smallness of Mars's mass,
and the great eccentricity of its orbit,
are adduced as reasons for consider
ing it as q member of the asteroid
family. If the asteroids once formed
single planet, as some have sup
posed, then possibly Mars is simply
the largest existing fragment of the
ancient planet, which travelled an orbit
lying between the earth and Jupiter.
So much of Europe as is interested
in the manufacture of high explosives
is just now engaged in specializing
over the discovery of new one which
an Austrian chemist is alleged to have
perfected. 1t is a smokeless power,
free from ro-glycerine, which over
heating affects but trife, and which
is as trustworthy and safe as is COM
mon gunpowder. It is positively
smokeless, does not heat the arm in
which it is used, and altogether seems
to have completely filed the bill at
which all manufacturers of explosives
have been aiming. So far the details
of composition and manufacture have
cen kept secret, SO far as this coun-
try is concerned, at least.
Some interesting instances of the
rapid destruction of iron pipes by

Near Beuthen, Silesia, a mile and q

with a reservoir, and this pipe began
to leak at the end of two years wher
the upper third was found to be deeply
pitted and punctured, the rest being
unaffected. At Johann on the-Sarr

CITY COUNCIL AND THE BOND ISSUES.

THE CONTROLLERS ATTITUDE TOWARD THE AS
sEMBLY APPROVED BY MANY NETWORK ERS
Several members OF the City Council professed 70
be indignant yesterday because their names had
been mentioned In a report that they had formed
a combination to hold up bond issues for public
improvements until interested contractors came TO
their terms The report declared that public Of
fetal unnamed had said: There is a band of men
in the Council with enough votes TO hold up any
appropriation They make secret OF the fact
that they expect 10 get rich. They have told other
people as they have told me. that they are out
Tor the money They do not care for public cTiti-
cism. and nothing the newspapers can say or 90
will affect them in any way. -,
II was pointed out by Councilman who discredited
the report that some OF them had been named
without justification. Councilman Brlce, Tor IN
stance has voted for every bond issue which came
up when ne present Councilman leich, OF
BROOKLYN who is a Republican, has voted for some
OF the bond issues and has been particularly active
In trying 10 get the Council 10 pass the BOND
issue TO pay for the Long Island Water Com
pany's plant He opposed the bond issue for re-
paving streets the ground that ne wanted more
OF the money for repaving spent In BROOKLYN sew
eral Councnen not named IN the report have been
voting against bond issues steadily Councilman
Francisco. Of Brooklyn said yesterday that ne IN
tended 20 bring libel suit on account or the pup
hcation OF the report.
Controller Coler's attitude toward the Municipal
Assembly is being approved by many New ! orKers
who believe that the holding UP OF bond issues for
public improvements is due TO corruption In the
Council and in the Board OF Aldermen. There are
certain Councilmen and certain Aldermen win IN
savory regulations who believed TO be person
ally and officially corrupt. Their refusal TO AID IN
the ssage Of the bond issues H. regarded as PROOF
that corrupt motives behind the mold up.
