ALGER'S NEW ROLE
His Senatorial Campaign and
 inc Administration.
The Seereiary'S Alliance Wiih pIn- gree Only Parfia lY Confirmed and Quast-DemoCratic PIafform ForeshadowS Ills Retirement.

Washington, June 3O.-Secretary
 A-ger's election to the United States
 senate can hardly go into effect with
 out causing Secretary Algers retire ment from the cabinet. This is the opinion both of his critics and his 1 friends. The announcement from De | troit, though deLied. that Governor 1 Fingree has jOired hands with the i secretary of war, even if he stood
 alone, would be d pretty strong indica- Lion that Secretary Alger's candidacy meant his withdrawal from the ad-
 ministratiOn. Governor Pingree has
 never been wholly in sympathy with
 the administration and at times he has
 taken positions raG-cally opposed to
 these approved by the president. But
 the announcements is coupled with the
 statement that Alger'S canvass will
 be made on two issues: One, opposi-
 tioin to trusts; the other, advocacy of
 elections to the senate by direct vote of the people. The administration. can
 afford to indorse neither of these is
 sues openly or indirectly at this time
 It is hard to see how Secretary Alger can make an active canvass for elec- tfon on either of these and still remain at the head of the war departments, where every step he may take will be regarded as having q bearing on his personal political fortunes.
 It is believed here, therefore. that the time is near at hand when Secre- tary Alger will ask to be relieved of his cabinet duties. Should he not ask this, it is thought that the president will take the initiative by suggesting that q continuance in the cabinet will be incompatible with the prosecution of an active campaign for the senate on q platform closely allied to what, il is supposed, will be the platform of the democratic party next year.
 The administration is on the point of raising a provisional army of 10000 men. If it should immediate ly. it will have the responsibility of in- creasing the regular army establish ment under legislation to be approved by the coming congress. The ques- tiOnS growing out of the acquisition of new territory are increasing in inn | pOrtance daily. Political cOmpIica- | tions are likely to spring from them any moment. The secretary of war | for the remainder of the adminiStra- | tiOn will be in a peculiarly delicate po- | sition. Any secre2ary would have q hard time of 1t. Secretary Alger, if he | should remain in the cabinet, even without being a candidate for the sen ate, would have all that he could at tend to in keeping free from misun- and in avoiGing situa Liors which might reac1 unfavorably upon the administration. To be secre- tary of war and a candidate for the senate at the same time will multiply the difficulties of his position. Every which he may make will be subject to criticism If possible, a political motive will be asSi gned, and wherever any act of his becoming un- popular it will reflect inevitably upon lis official superior, the president. All his would be bad enough, even with put an alliance with Governor Pin ,ree on d Sort of populist platform.

Raising Asparagus ProfitabIv.

There is no summer vegetable crop
more profitable than asparagus if the
plants have proper care. The plot
must be kept in high state of rich
ness and cultivation, and much of the
important work in this direction may
be done now before winter sets in.
The first thing to be done at this time
is to cut off the tops of the plants and
clear the bed entirely of weeds, for
the weedy asparagus bed is the profit
less one. After this is thoroughly
done the bed should be covered three
inches deep with coarse manure, which
will enrich the soil, and, what is more
important, keep out the frost. Thus
protected during the winter the plants
will be laying up strength and energy
for the spring.
In early spring, as soon as the frost
is out of the ground, the coarse man
ure should be removed and all of the
fine particles forked carefully in the
soil, being careful not to injure the
crown of the plant with the tine of the
fork. If the soil is not sufficiently
rich, add more fine manure and fork
it in all over the bed. This treatment
is inexpensive, but will result in heavy
crops and make q decided difference
in the size of the edible shoots. The
plan is after the practice of the most
successful, asparagus growers of the
country. Atlanta Journal.

The eminent English scientist, Lord
Kelvin, who for many years has held
the chair Of natural philosophy at
Glasgow University, is the subject of
an amusing story illustrative of the
singular force of habit. AS professor
of science, Lord Kelvin can use long
words in such formidable array as to
paralyze the average layman, but the
Glasgow student is made Of sterner
stuff. During a course Of lectures on
magnetism, he once defined an ideal
magnet as "an infinitely long, in
fnitely thin, uniform and uniformly
and longitudinally magnetized bar"
and the misguided students vocifer-
ously cheered, which caused the ven-
cradle professor to say: "Silence!"
The definition was made and cheered,
with the usual reprimand, frequently
during the lectures. Once, near the
conclusion. however, the students did
not cheer, but Lord Kelvin promptly
raped out "Silence" as before.

Shelter For the Cattle.

One OF the prime requisites for
handling cattle in any way is shelter;
moderate expenditure in this direc-
ton saves money.
An outlay of $100 will put up shed
100 feet long and of sufficient width
to accommodate 100 cattle ON full feed
and furnish dry place for sleeping in
muddy weather.
1t is as much of mistake to turn
stockers into stock field to shift for
themselves without shelter through
out the winter as to full feed cattle in
a lot where there is little or no "wind-
break" and where snow, slush or mud
may be the resting place. A feed lot
knee deep in mud retards fattening,
makes work harder, loses waste to the
hogs, and when finished, cattle shipped
to market from such surroundings
their killing qualities are often over
looked because of their filthy condi-
ton.

From the London Weekly Telegraph:
Some time ago, writes a volunteer, /
spent a week with garrison battery
in south coast fort. On the last day
the sergeants sat down to an excep-
tionally fine dinner, the crowning glory
Of which was large plum pudding. I
had made the pudding two days before,
had 1t boiled, and now, reheated, it
made It's appearance, amid the welcome
shouts of my brother warriors, and I
naturally felt bit proud of it, for I
hadn't been ships cook for nothing.
Seems mighty hard" remarked the
sergeant major as he vainly tried to
stick his fork into it. Have you boiled
us a cannon ball. Browncy?" "Or the
regimental football?" asked another.
Where did you get the flour from?"
questioned Sergeant Smith. Where
from?" I retorted. From store No.
s, of course" THE deuce you did,"
roared the quartermaster sergeant.
"Then, hang you, you've made the pud-
ding with Portland cement" And so
1t proved. That pudding Is now pre-
served in the battery museum.

Where Red Glover Grows.

Red clover grows best upon deep
and we'll drained calcareous loans. 1t
is not so we'll adapted to the lighter
sandy soils, to heavy compact clays,
nor to gumbo prairie soils. Under
drainage and plentiful supply Of
rainfall during the season before t1ow-
ering have q marked influence on the
yield. Fed clover is the standard
hay crop of the Northern and New
England States, and is becoming
every year more widely cultivated in
the central prairie region. In the
South and in the Pacific Coast and
Rocky Mountain States other crops
are more successful, and there red
clover is only grown in localities
where the soil conditions favor it.
The seed is usually sown with
grain from March to May or, when in
tended for spring soiling crop, from
the middle of July to the first of Au-
gust, without nurse crop. Twenty
pounds of seed are required per acre.
The first crop of hay IS ready to cut
in June The second crop is gener-
ally considered the best for seed, but
the condition which governs seed pro-
duction is the prevalence and abun-
dance of bumblebees, upon which the
clover blossoms are dependent for
fertilization. The yield of seed per
acre varies from three to nine bushels
of sixty pounds. Farm, Field and

To Protect Old Documents.

Collectors of old documents, rare en-
cravings, stamps or other valuable pa
pers that ought to be protected from
the noxious influences of the air and
from moisture can easily preserve them
in their original condition by covering
them with per cent solution of col
lodion. This solution can be applied
with soft brush without the slightest
danger to the objects thus treated.
This proceeding is mainly applicable
where delicate colors that are soluble
in water are to be preserved in their
pristine freshness and beauty. The col
lodion covering is, therefore, most ex-
cellent for preserving water-color
paintings and pastels.

In skirts the average person can scarce
ly keep up with them. The very newest
skirt is SO decidedly new no one can
remember to have seen anything like
it. Not even old portraits show it or
heroines in out-of-date novels. 1t Is
made absolutely without fullness in Ell
ther back or front, not even SO much
as a wrinkle. The top is perfectly plain
and smooth, fitted to the figure only
by a gore on each hip and extending
to the knees in front, while the lower
part is graduated Spanish affair cut
on the bias that falls easily in godets
to fare at the bottom. 1t fastens in
the front, at the left side usually, but
some of them hook or button behind,
still without the least sign Of fold
or plait Some of the skirts are elab-
orately braided in barbarous design,
Will twists and turns and huge circles
and crossbars, and some are embroid-
cred or stitched in bias rows and Greek
lines. But, however trimmed, the now
skirt is the newest thing Dame Fash
ion has produced for long time.

NERVOUS DEPRESSION.
IA TALK WITH MRS. prNxHAM.l

A woman with the blues is very TN
comfortable person. She is illogical,
unhappy and frequently hysterical.
The condition of the mind known as
"t the blues" nearly always, with wo-
men, results from diseased organs of
generation.
1t is source of wonder that in this
age of advanced medical science, any
person should still believe that mere
force of will and determination will
overcome depressed spirits and nerv-
BUSINESS ill women. These troubles are
indications of disease.
Every woman who doesn't under
stand her condition should write to
Lynn, Mass, to Mrs. Pinkham for her
advice. Her advice is thorough COM
mon sense, and is the counsel of q
learned woman of great experience.
Read the story of Mrs. +. S. BENNETT,
Westphalia, Kansas, as told in the fol-
lowing letter:
~DEAR Mrs. PINKHAM:-I have suf-
fered for over two years with falling.
enlargement and liberation of the
womb, and this spring, being in such
a weakened condition, caused me to
flow for nearly six months. Some time
ago, urged by friends, wrote to you
for advice. After using the treatment
which you advised for short time,
that terrible flow stopped.
81 am now gaining strength and
flesh, and have better health thar l
have had for the past ten years. /
wish to say to all distressed, suffer
ing women, do not suffer longer, when
there is one so kind and willing to
aid you"
