A curious exhibit at the Paris Elk
position will be ''Jokai Pavilion" DR..
Maurus Jokai, it is said, is going to ex-
hibit there a copy of every edition Of
his works which has appeared in any
language. AS he has written over
three hundred novels, some of which
have been translated into all the Ian
guages Of Europe, the display will be
large.

joint. AS tile are usually laid it Is i'm
possible to prevent there being crack
wide enough to admit the dbrous roots
of tree, which go everywhere in
search Of moisture. In the tile the tree
root expands until the tile is entirely
filed, and the drain is ruined. Almost
any large tree will do this, but the
worst of all trees are the willow, elm
and locust. All Of these love water,
and none of them should be allowed to
grow near underdrains or wells. In
some parts of the country willows and
locusts are planted in dooryards. But
If near we'll, even if the well be roof
ed over, their roots will find their way
to the water, and spoil it for use.

Tree Roots in Underdrains.

It is never safe to leave large tree

that is, made like the city sewer pipe,
no that one end is smaller, and slides

Points in Planting the Lawn.

There may properly be border Of
low-growing shrubbery next to the
house, and it is well to plant vine Of
some sort by the piazza. Nothing is
better for this purpose than the com2
mon woodbine or Virginia creeper.
Akebia and actinidia, two new Japan
csc climbers, are also good. In general,
a better effect is produced by planting
In masses and borders than by dotting
the plants here and there over the
lawn.

How to Irrigate Crnns.

One of the best short cuts In water
ing all crops planted in rows is the use
Of small tubes or boxes made Of lath
They are made by saving common
plastering lath in three pieces, sixteen
inches long, then rip one piece in the
center and nail together with two or
three penny nails, so the tubes will be
square, the width of lath, about III
inches on the outside, and little less
than three-quarters of an inch on the
inside. This will also allow a stream
Of water sufficiently large for ordinary
soils. These tubes should be placed
one at the upper end Of each irrigation
furrow, connecting it with the feed
ditch. Have the feed ditch as near
level as possible. If the feed ditch has
too much fall the wash will fill up the
ends Of the tubes. 1t can be remedied
by placing checks or sluice boxes at
proper intervals with gates sufficiently
high to back the water up far enough
to make the water stand nearly still.
Occasional cleaning Of the tubes with
small switch is all that is necessary.
With this arrangement all that is re-
quired to irrigate a field is to turn the
water into the feed ditch and let it
run until the ground is thoroughly
soaked, which is a saving Of a great
deal of time and attention.-F. S. Cal
kins, in st. Louis Globe-Democrat.

CLAW Soil for Pears.

It is universally agreed that heavy
clay soil is best for the pear. There are
various reasons for this, the principal
one being that clay soil is always rich
In mineral fertilizers, while a sandy
or gravelly soil is deficient in this kind
Of plant food. But the clay soil, though
rich in phosphates and potash, may
not have them in available form, and
may need dressing in spring Of these
minerals in available form. Trees on
clay may need dressings Of available
potash and phosphate in the years
when the tree is bearing. On sandy soil
the pear tree always needs these man
ures. The pear roots deeply, so that 1t
is never affected by droughts, and in
clay soils it doubtless draws mineral
fertilizers from the subsoil below where
the roots of grain and other crops usu-
ally grow. 1t is great mistake to
allow the tap root of pear tree to be
cut off before it is transplanted.

Thinning Early Apples.

Wherever the codling moth is abund-
ant that will attend to the thinning Of
the early apples, which begin to ripen
even while the moth is at work in it's
first brood. Very few early apples es-
cape the worm, and many fall before
they are fit for any use. But one or
two entire failures Of the apple crop
have so reduced the codling moth that
we think it will pay to go through trees
Of early apples and take out one-quar-
ter to one third, according to how plen-
tifully the fruit has set. So soon as
the fruit begins to turn a further thin
ming may be made with profit.

Keep Young Hogs Growing.

There is an impression among farm
ers that hogs in summer at pasture can
get enough with the swill from the
house and what they can get in the
fields. This was all right SO long as
skim-milk, one of the best foods for
growth, was part of the swill, and I'M
eaten refuse from the table was also
thrown in. But in many places the
skinned milk is now sold in some
form, while better use for table re-
fuse Is found in giving it to the poul-
try. So the pig is starved in summer,
which is the time he ought to grow
the fastest, and is the poorest prepare
ton for the heavy corn feeding that
will begin in September and continue
until the pig is turned over to the
butcher. A half-starved animal loses
the power of digesting hearty food, for
the stomach, like every other organ of
the body, needs to have something to
do to keep in good health and strength.

Crowds Flock to BRYAN.

William Jennings Bryan spoke to seven
thousand people at the Northern Chau.
tauqua Assembly auditorium, Monominee,
Mich, Saturday on Pending Problems "
Thousands of people came OH excursion
trains and boats, and nearly all the saw
mills on the river were closed and the
men given free tickets and allowed full
time for the day in order to hear Bryan,
who received greater ovation than any
other political leader was ever accorded
in that region. Mr.. Bryan, without me-
glecting, altering or retracting his view OF
the money question, is talking more and
more of trusts and Imperialism. His
views of the last two evoked the greatest
applause. In speaking of Mr.. McKinley's
Philippine policy Mr. Bryan said:
81 believe that the doctrine of imper-
ialism strikes at the very foundation of
our institutions. I would have been glad
to have had the chance of calling the
Democratic party together and securing
from the Democrats of the nation decla-
ration of policy; but it has heretofore
been impossible and therefore Democrats
have had to take their position in accord
ance with their ideas on this question.
1.-THE Republican party in the next
campaign will be held responsible for
every drop of blood that has been shed in
the Philippines. They have put price
on human blood and on the hardships
and privations of our soldiers They have
announced to the country that they have
adopted policy of Imperialism; but say
that the trade we are going to secure will
pay us for the soldiers and the treasure
We have lost in securing them
81 do not believe the people of thi.
country will indorse such a policy, and
do not believe the people anywhere
who love freedom and liberty will in
dorse it."

Story of a Slave.

To be bound hand and foot for
years by the chains of disease is
the worst form of slavery. Geo.
ID. Williams, of Manchester, Mich,
tells how such a slave was made
free. He says: "My wife has been
so helpless for five years that she
could not turn over in bed alone.
After using two bottles of Electric
Bitters, she is wonderfully imprOv-
ed and able to do her own work. "
This supreme remedy for female
diseases quickly cures nervousness,
sleeplessness, melancholy, head,
ache, backache, fainting and dizzy
spells. This miracle working med
icine is gOdsend to weak, sickly,
run down people. Every bottle
guaranteed. Only soc. Sold by

By the way people, regardless fparty
proclivities, and of the higher class of

against the Philippine conquest policy of

has placed the United States in very

Farmers, if you believe in low prices

any by voting a Democratic ticket with
