One Day Of Sunshine.

One Day OF Sunshine.
One day of sunshine. All the birds are
singing
Life to the joy of it delighted clings.
The doves their way DER meadows
green are winging,
With frost upon their wings.
Yet, lest deceitful spring afar should
flutter,
We shall not give her one wild word
of praise.
No song of alteration shall we utter
No rosy altars raise.
TOO long with our affections did she
trifle,
Playing hide and seek with shadow
and with sun.
Enter her gardens while you may, and
rifle
Her rose ways and have done!

Potash Fertilizers for Sugar Beets.-
In several foreign experiments with
the culture of sugar beets noted by the
department of agriculture. 1t was found
that whereas nitrogenous fertilizers in
creased the yield of beets per acre.
they also decreased the sugar content
and purity of the juice, but that the
application of potash and phosphoric
acid fertilizers improved the quality OF
the beets. The greatest increase in
sugar was due to potash fertilizing.
Beets grown from large seeds gave bet
ter Yields and were richer in sugar
than those grown from small seeds. It
was concluded that fourteen inches was
a good depth for p!owing.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infiamed condition of the mucous lin.
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets infamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearinc
and when it is entirely closed deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
f1ammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to it's normal condition
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out Of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition Of the mucous sur

SLAPPED HIS FACE.
Young Lady Admits Alleged OHense.

Il am guilty of slapping Louis G. Mackall
in the face" was the admission made TODAY
by Miss Grace Cudipp to Judge Scott in
the Police Court, and would do the same
to your honor or to President Mckinley If
you or he acted toward me as Mackan did. !"
Miss Cudlipp was charged with assault
ing Mackall. The complaining witness stat
ed that Thursday morning he was walking
down Pennsylvania avenue as close to the
houses as he could get, and that the dxend-
ant deliberately stepped up to him and
slapped him in the face.
Policeman Lake told the court that he
knew Mackall well, and that it was the lat
ter's constant practice to stand on certain
street corners and annoy women
Miss Cudlipp said Mackall came toward
her grinninS and making insulting motions
and, as she had previously been annoyed
by him, she promptly slapped him in the
face.
Judge Scott dismissed Miss Cudlipp from
custody, with the remark that ladies must
be protected, and told Officer Lake if he
found MackaH violating any law to bring
him into court.
