The catfish uses his lungs as an organ
of hearing. The needless lung becomes
closed sac filled with air and COM
monty known rs the swim bladder. In
the catfish, as in the suckers, clubs
and most brook fish, the air bladder
is large and is connected 10y Il slender
tube. the remains of the trachea. to the
Ocsophagus. At its front u fits closely
to the vcrtebral column. The anterior
vertebrae are much enlarged, twisted
together. and through them passes 4
chain of bones. which connects with the
hidden cavity of the air. The bladder
therefore assists the ear of the catfish
as the tympanum and its bones assist
the ear of the higher animals. An ear
of this sort can carry little range of
variety in sound. 1t probably gives
only the impression of jars or disturb
auces in the water.-Popular Science

AN interesting case was decided In
the New Jersey supreme court the 9th
err day, which has direct bearing on
the whole problem of the trusts that lie
Just now causing SO much discussion all
over the country. A trust had been
formed to control the trap rock quar-
ries. Competition had become too &C
tive to suit certain rival firms and after
the agreement had been perfected
some of the quarries were closed and
prices were advanced. An important
provision of the contract was that the
stone controlled by members of the
trust should only be sold by the regu-
larry constituted agent OF the
trust. "a penalty OF five
thousand dollars was prescribed for
violation of this provision. Dissatis-
faction arose and one of the firms in
the trust accepted q large order for
stone. The firm refused to pay the
forfeit, and when the trust instituted
suit the individual company went into
court with the contention that the
combination was admittedly trust
formed for the purpose of destroying
competition and controlling prices for
rock, and was therefore illegal. The
supreme court held that it is not in
any sense illegal for man
ufacturers to enter into a
contract to the effect that
a single agent shall be empowered to
sell their output. The court specifi
cally; held that such contract did not
violate any principle of law, not that it
was not in violation of any existing
statue law. 1t is clear that the clear
est thinking and most careful action
and legislation will be necessary il or
der to bring these great aggregations
of capital under the proper govern
mental control without inspiring the
natural rights of capital.

A dispatch the other day from q
Georgia town stated that within an
hour after being placed on trial for
criminal assault negro was convicted
and sentenced to be hanged. Now
there may be all sorts of criticisms on
the swift justice that was melted out to
this man. It may be said that it was
species ofjudicial murder. Such crit
icism goes for absolutely naught. The
fact is that the majesty of the law was
here upheld and the people, in state
of the greatest excitement, were will
ing to submit the case to the regularly
constituted authorities.
Now the very fact that the members of
that community controlled themselves
so far as themselves to comply with the
laws they had helped to make will go
long ways to instil in the hearts and
minds of the negroes and lswless ele-
ment of ell kinds certain respect and
fear of the law that can never be pres
emit in a community where lynching is
advocated and practiced by the white
leaders. The incident is q most hope
full one. 1t may be-let US hope that it
will be-a precedent that will be gen.
orally followed throughout the south.

IN one of the writings OF Robert
Louis Stevenson occurs the following
declaration, which for some men would
be sufficient creed: To be honest: to
be kind; to earn little and spend a
little less; to make, upon the whole, a
family happier for his presence; to
renounce, when that shall be neces-
sary, and not be en- Filtered; to keep q
few friends, but these without capitu-
lation; above all, on the same grim con-
dition, to keep friends with himself;
here is a task for all that a man has of
fortitude and delicacy.

] LOSSES EDs


B It would be difficult for most farmers
to calculate how great is the loss from
the prevalence of weeds in cropr In a
season when dry weather prevails these
losses are comparatively small, though
even then the weeds take water from
the soil which is not all returned when
they are uprooted and buried in it. The
weed that lis buried is surrounded by air
spaces, keeping the soil more porous
than it otherwise would be, and there
fore drying it out faster. The case is
still worse as regards the fertility that
the weed has taken. It was originally
entirely soluble, but the weed has to
ferment and be resolved into vegetable
mold before it can be put in the same
soluble condition: Yet we have known
farmers to delay cultivation of hoed
crops SO as to- have more grass and
weeds to be plowed under.
It is often said that weeds are pre-
ventive of good farming; that there
would be much less cultivation of hoed
crops if it were not that the growth of
weeds made it necessary. Yet where
the cnltivator is kept going all through
the season so often as to prevent any
weed from reaching the surface, the
weed killed as quickly as it sprouted
has done the soil more good and less
harm than it could do at any subse-
quent stage of it's growth. At this ear
ly period, about all the plant substance
has been directly furnished from the
swelling and decomposition of the seed
in termination. At this time the car
bonic acid gas which the seed gives off
when it terminates makes it's plant
food more soluble than it ever can be
after the plant puts forth roots and be-
gins to draw from the soil. Finely pow
dered malt has been used as fertilizer.
When it has been applied in contact
with seed grain of any kind, it has pro-
duced remarkable results, though it is
too expensive a fertilizer to be used on
a very large scale. But the ordinary
weed seed is much smaller and has far
less fertilizing material in it than has a
grain of barley.
It is the peculiarity of most weeds
that most of their growth is taken di-
rectly from the soil, and that both it
and the moisture to make the plant food
soluble are needed by growing crops.
Each days growth of a weed among
hoed crops lessons the yield. If the
weed is left until late, it's roots will be
so intermingled with those of valuable
! crops that one cannot be destroyed
without uprooting the other. A little
care in destroying the weeds while
| small will save much labor later, besides
the inevitable shrinkage of the crop
among which the weeds have been al,
lowed to grow.-American Cultiyator.

Coming Rage for Velvet.


The fashion prophets predict velvet
season next winter. All the tips and
suggestions from Paris promise a re-
vival of this rich fabric. An effort was
made to introduce it last winter, but it's
costliness left it within reach of only
the very wealthy Consequently velvet
was rarely seen. The up to date woman
must, however, next winter have at
least one velvet garment in her ward
robe or be out of the world. An extra
fine quality of velveteen is to be intro
duced which will be used extensively
for whole costumes for street and car
riage wear. Dressy jackets will be of
velvet, and fancy bodices, elaborately
trimmed with black lace and let Or rare
old pieces Of point and, duchesse lace,
will be the ultra-modish garments of
the winter wardrobe. Velvet gowns
have this il their favor: They need no
trimming. The beauty of the costume
consists, in zitss rich simplicity. The
money saved IA this respect can be
added to the quality Of the material,
thus giving the woman who has to
count her pennies an opportunity to be
the proud possessor Of one Of these ele-
CANT toilets.-N. Z. Herald.

STOCK ON THE. FARM.
No Matter How Small the Premises II
Will Pay the Owner to Keep
Hogs or Sheep.

No farm so small but there are some
wastes on it if the produce is sold direct
from the farm. 1t is impossible to raise
and sell grain and hay without losing
some portion of it which might have
been saved if live stock were kept.
The man with large farm may be
able to 60 on raising and selling grain
and let the wastes 60, but the small
farmer cannot allow these losses,
For the small farmer horses or cattle
are out of the question as they require
too large an area for pasturage, but
with hogs or sheep the case is different.
They can be kept with profit in COM
paratively cramped quarters. Either of
these kinds of stock may be used to
make. meat of grass and grain. Feed
may be sold in the shape of mutton;
wool OF pork to better advantage than
in it's original condition. The small
farmer should be an intensive farmer
and intensive farming is impossible
without the help of live stock or the
purchasing Of large Quantities of fer
tilizerss sWhich is not. ot.goealfarming.
AAC Auu VIII: OWuS q S4aldIl 1dFm ana
keeps small herd of hogs or small
flock of sheep is likely to become an en-
thusiast and if this is the case the stock
kept will get much larger prices than
common stock and the profits will be in
creased.
AS matter of fact the small farmer
with few animals is in position to
take the very best care of his animals
whether they are to be used for market
or are pure-breds which are to be sold
for breeders and in either case the re-
turns will be larger than they could be
where larger focks with less care are
kept.-Farmers' Voice. -
