on the part of the parent birds. They
in the meantime had seen the little one
borne away and had followed it to the
house. and. as it was kept near the
open window, its cries had appraised
them of its whereabouts. They soon
came TO it Oh the roof AMI lowered

Bountles for Everybody.

The Populist Senator Allen of
Nebraska is entirely logical in his
proposition to substitute for Hanna's
ship subsidy bill a farmers bounty
bill. Instead of making gift of
the peoples money to the men who
carry our corn and wheat abroad,
he would pay it to the men who
raise the corn and wheat for exp rt.
This would bring about far wider
distribution of the national alnis.
There are Il thousand times as many
men engaged in tilling the ground in
the United States as are engaged IN
sailing steamships across the ocean.
Why should the thousand farmers
be taxed tor the profit OF the one
steamship man: Why not spread
out the free gift where it will p oft

Bury Their l.eDers Alive,

The Chinese have II curously cheer
full way Of disposing OF their lepers.
The relatives of the afflicted person
propose to him that they bury him
alive, and, such Is the fatalism of the
Chinese, that the victim readily con-
sents. An extra elaborate meal is
served TO him in the way Of farewell
banquet and then the funeral process
sion forms. The man who Is about to
be injured under the sod follows his
own coffin, and when he reaches the
grave he takes dose Of laudanum,
hops into the box and settles down for
eternity.
DR.. Wittenberg, writing on the sub
ject Of leprOsy in China, states that the
pure nerve form Is the least common.
In such cases. as is well known, the pa
tents may 20 on for years. AS to the
mixed FORM it is fairly common, but it
Is q difficult matter to estimate the
number Of lcpers in any given district.
The sufferers lead the common life so
long as they remain free from destruc-
tive LESSONS. When these occur to any
marked degree, the leper Is either seq
rcgated in hut or he is allowed to
wander about the country, sustaining
life by begging. Dr. Wittcnberg re-

OUTLOOK FOR GREEN PEAS POOR

The reports collected this autumn
, from the seed growers presagc dis
appointment tor lovers of green
peas noxt spring. The general
story is Of partial failure of the
green peas grown for seed. In
some cases only halt crop has been
gathered and in others the loss has
been larger. This means higher
prices for seed, Il condition which of
itself would prevent some growers
from raising the vegetables. says the
New York sun.

with. The aphiS is Il htt,.c inset {

sons why ever, body can't grow
roses. 1t first made itself generally
remarked Il couple of Years ago.
This year in the latter part OF the
spring and in the early summer It
appeared in vast numbers, utterly
destroying whole crops OF peas.
The iIrst crop grown during the
cool weather in the early part of
spriug escaped it. Some growers
attribute this immunity to the fact
that favorable weather enabled the
vines to become vigorous enough to
resist its attacks; others believe that
at that time the pest simply had not
spread. Later crops succumbed to
it so thar the vines produced nbso-
lutely no peas, or SO few as not to
be worth picking. Long Island suf-
fercd severely and SO did growers in
Delaware and Maryland and New
Jersey. IN localities further north,
the aphis did not appear, either be-
cause it had not spread to them or
because the cooler climate did not
favor its development. The severi-
ity of the evil may be appreciated
from the tact that the losses of grow.
ers on the pea crop have been esti-
mated at as high as $4,000, 900.
