ELECTROLYZED SALT WATER

gives interest to the accompany.
statements OF the Army and Navy
Journal touching the use of that cheap
remedial agency for some OF the ills
Of city life in warm countries. The
Army and Navy Journal states that ex-
periments IN Havana after the author
tiles had ceased dependence on broom
and bucket proved the value of the pro-
cess. Major J. G.. Davis, chief OF the
Sanitary Division of Havana was en-
powered to make tests with & small
plant with a daily capacity of 10000
gallons. He was altogether successful.
In the judgment of the authorities the
low death rate of Havana the past
summer was the result of the free use
of the electrolyzed fluid. The sewers
and unpaved portions of Havana were
treated with the purifying agent,
says the Journal. the strength OF
which is 90 grains of available chlorine
TO the gallon. The prediction is a safe
one that the difficulty of overcoming
the unsanitary condition of tropical
cities will be lessened by more than
half by the use of electrolyzed sea or
salt water obtained with the aid o.
a small dynamo run by steam Or water
power"
The subject thus presented has al
ready been studied by our Board OF
Health but it would seem to be des;r-
able for the Government to get full
from Havana and file them for
future reference. If We have an ocean
of disinfectants at our doors it is well
to learn and to keep in mind the best
methods of making quick use of it and /
to provide all needful appliances.

The proposal TO cut down the rate of
interest paid by the Postal Savings
bank so as to stop deposits and induce
Withdrawals comes from those who are
trying to solve the surplus problem.
Funds deposited go TO swell the smr-
plus and the Government is put in the
peculiar attitude OF hiring money which
II does not need and thereby keeping
II out OF the channels of trade where
il Is needed very much. IL the Postal
Savings rate were reduced to 3 or ga
per cent. the situation would be reliev-
ed. money formerly put in Government
keeping then finding its way in search
OF higher interest to banks that would
loan 1t to the public. Other sugges-
tions are that the Government itself
loan n part OF the surplus on approved
security or that II turn the funds over
TO the commercial banks as deposit
aries. Probably the Minister OF Finance
will weigh each OF these plans and
adopt the one which seems both law
ful and feasible. So far as using any
part OF the money for public works is
concerned II is a scheme to which the
impossibility OF legislative appropria-
tion-the President OF the United States
having stopped all elections here
presents an insuperable barrier.

THIS is the title of the next serial to
i. be published in THE ENQUIRER.
The story is by Charles NJ. Sheldon,
a Presbyterian preacher. 1t was first
published in 1897, and was read by the
author to his congregation in install
ments, in lieu of regular sermons.
Since then the story has been printed
in book form and more than million
copies have been sold; but compare
lively few Of them in this section. II
is serious reading; but not heavy: 1t is
of absorbing interest, and it is bound
to prove profitable To the reader. In
fact, we believe it will be found by all
classes to be one of the most en-
crossing stories they have ever read.
Every chapter deals with matters about
which every reader already has his own
pations, and about things on which
there is much difference of opinion.
There is no trash in this story but
that will not detract in the least from its
entertaining qualities.
The book is copyrighted. This is a
fact that has been used with more or
less force against the author by his crit
les. With how much justice will appear
best after the reader has gotten we'll in

ever, has purchased. the full right to
publish, and many readers who would
not otherwise have had the privilege
will have an opportunity to enjoy this
unique story.

The CULTIVATION OF NUT TREES.

The planting and cultivation of va
rious kinds of nuts will sooner or later
be given more attention by nursery
men and landowners than at present.
The hybridization of nuts has already
begun, and it can be safely predicted
that many new hybrids will be pro-
duced in the near future. A nut of
this sort has been obtained by crossing
two distinct, varieties, the black wal
nut and California walnut, and has
been given the name "Royal." Mr..
Luther Burbank, the originator of va
rious new hybrids in fruits, is the sue
cesful experimenter.
On almost every farm there is more
or less space which could be utilized
and converted into nut grove at
very little expense or trouble-the
steep sides of swale or gully, hillsides
that are too steep to cultivate, row
of nut trees planted on each side of
the lane, or planted in fields used as
permanent pasture; in the latter case
the trees if not planted too thickly,
would add to the value of pasture land
by the delightful shade given.
Nature seems to have distributed the
various kinds of nuts in soils and To-
calities best suited to their growth.
For instance, the chestnut is always
found growing on a sandy soil, while
a hickory is rarely found growing in
sandy localities, yet would thrive in
sand if planted there. The chestnut
will thrive if planted in almost any
deep rich soil where there is good
drainage. 1 have oven heard it said
that chestnut tree if planted on any
but sandy soil would not live, and
l have also heard it asserted that it
cannot be transplanted successfully ;
but 1 have proved to my own satisfac-
ton that both of these can be done
quite successfully. The chances OF
success can be made greater by intro
ducing little of the soil natural to
to the tree into the hole in which it to
be planted.
The writer transplanted some ten or
fifteen sweet chestnut trees last spring.
Digging good sized holes, we carefully
placed the trees in them and then
filled the holes nearly full of sand.
After pressing down the sand we COW
cred the latter with about or 3 inches
of clay loan to prevent their drying
out. All but one or two of these trees
are alive and will be grated the COM
ing spring with improved varieties.
Not long since read an article on
chestnut culture by Jacob Dingee, OF
Pennsylvania. Mr.. Dingee's method
was to cut off the old trees, or any
young ones that were too old to graft,
down to the ground. They would
then send up new growth ofsprouts.
These were thinned out the next year
to few more than were needed. AT
each stump or root the sprouts were
grated when two or three years old.
They were afteward again thinned out
to a suitable distance apart.-Corres-
pondent in the Country Gentleman.

A CLEAR RIGHT OF WAY.

When l first came into the mountains
of West Virginia to look after the Goa
interests of our company, 1 boarded
at little tavern in the county towr
presided over by a good looking wo
man of 40 who, as I had understood
was widow. She was keener witted
and more entertaining than the aver
age mountain woman and ! rather en-
joyed talking to her. One evening
after I had been her guest about three
weeks, found myself alone with hel
on the porch of the house, and we
chatted along very pleasantly about
men and women and life generally.
Saint you married ?' she asked in
response to something I had said lead
ing up to such question.
"Oh, no." I laughed. "I'm an un'
happy old bachelor"
"Well, you oughter be ashamed Nv
yerself," she said with spirit.
81 am" assented. "But how is q
man to be otherwise when the women
won't do their share ?"
"But they will eff they ever git the
chance" she contended.
"It's easy enough for you to say
that" I said, "because you felt that
way toward your husband when he
asked you"
"My husband !" she almost shouted
II han't got no husband, nor never
did have"
"Why-why," stammered, ~ un'
derstood you were widow"
swell, amt"
"Do you mean to tell me that as
good looking woman as you are is an
old maid yet ?"
She hesitated a moment before an
swering.
"In course I am" she said, and her
voice softened, "but hain't no objec'
ton to bein' a married woman"
Goodness knows how got out Of
it and still remained "star boarder,
but I did, and didn't sit out on that
porch in the evening any more, either.

WHEN A MAN STOPS JUMPING
"Henry," she said, and there were
what novelist would call tears in her
voice as she spoke, 81 don't believe
you love me-"
He took the cigar from his mouth
and looked at her in surprise over the
top of bis newspaper, says the Waver'
ly Magazine.
"Maria," he said, "don't be foolish. F."
"There !" she exclaimed. "There's
evidence of the truth what of said.
Don't be foolishp Did you ever speak
to me that way before We were mar
ried ?"
"No, my dear, I did not" he admit
ted.
"Then," she said reproachfully, "my
lightest wish was law; then you never
sat like dummy, smoking a cigar
and reading a paper, when I was in the
room; then you seemed anxious to
please me, and were ever on the watch
to do some little favor for me-"
"It is true" be admitted.
"You were never lazy then," she
went on. "You were full of life and
spirits, you were energetic.
"My DEAR" be interrupted in that
calm, dispassionate tone that makes
the average wife want to get poker
or a broom, "did you ever see boy
trying to get an apple or cherry that
was Just a little out of his reach ?"
"Certainly," she answered, "but-"
"He keeps jumping and jumping
till ge gets it, doesn't be ?"
"Of course"
"But does he continue jumping af-
ter he has got ?"
"Certainly not. There's no need
of itp'
"Well," he said, as he turned to bis
paper again, "you're my cherry, and
don't see the slightest reason why |
should keep jumping any more than
the boy" She didn't say anything,
but the more she thought the more
undecided did she become as to
whether she ought to be angry with
him or not.
