Sodium Nitrate for Gardens,

Sodium nitrate is especially valuable
for intensive culture in gardens and
fields tributary to large cities where
quickness and abundance of growth are
factors of prime necessity. The ready
formed nitrate is an indispensable fer
tilizer for flowers and gardens as well
as for fields. 1t performs function
which cannot be easily replaced by any
other form Of nitrogenous material
among field crops. The sugar beet is
especially susceptible to the influence
Of nitrate Of soda and this Is the most
economic form Of nitrogenous fertilizer
that can be secured.-Dr. II. W. Wiley,

THE SAN JOSE SCALE.
Spraying with Crude Petroleum Has
Been Found Effective in De-
strOying the Pest.

Prof. John ii. Smith reports to the
science that he has found spraying
with crude petroleum to be sure
method of destroying the San jose
scale. lie first tried it on II Duchess
pear tree, which was badly infested.
In the early part of January, ls9S, he
painted the tree thoroughly from the
tops of the twigs to the ground. Long
before spring opened it was easy to
see that there was not living scale
remaining on the tree. AS it started
well in the spring, about dozen trees
were sprayed with a nozzle to cover
item as completely as possible. AS
they had begun to make leaf growth,
he found in some cases foliage in
jured. and when an extra heavy dose
of oil was put on the fruit buds were
killed. The tree treated in winter
not only blossomed and bore well, but
it made q rank and vigorous growth,
and the foliage had a color that en-
abled anyone to identify it as far as
they could see it. 1t was as if an
application of nitrate of soda had
been made around it. This increase
in vigor and growth continues up to
the present time.
The next winter many trees were
treated, including apple, peach, plum
and cherry. and by his advice many
others tested it, SO that probably 1000
TO 1900 frees were treated that win
ter. In no case has any tree been
injured, and in all cases the scale was
destroyed and the tree appeared wig
orous and healthy during the summer.
In one case where there were three
rows of apple trees 30 to 40 years old,
the middle row alone was sprayed,
and in June it was n sight to behold.
The other rows looked sickly by the
side of that, and on that the fruit set
full and fair.-American Cultivator.

MAKING AN ORCHARD.
oest Plan for Deginnera Ia to select
Varieties That Have Been Tried
with Success.

A an orchard, especially the apple
and pear orchard. will. after it has
made good growth and become estab-
ushed, last an ordinary lifetime, II
given proper care, the selection of va
rieties should be made very carefully.
To set out and care for IN orchard
until It comes into bearing requires
labor and expense, and
to find out after working four or Ave
years TO secure good growth that q
mistake in the selection Of varieties
has been made will prove costly ex-
perience.
OF course there is always . chance
Of being imposed upon by the nursery
man. The farmer may make n good
selection and order them. and re-
ceive them properly labeled according
to his order only to find out that he
has been swindled when the teecs
commence to bear-too late to avoid
the loss.
The only safe plan is to buy only
from responsible nurscrymcn, who
will not substitute after accepting the
order. There are plenty such SO that
there is not much excuse for buying
OF irresponsible dealers.
The best plan is to select for the
principal dependence varieties that
already have been tried and proved
There is IN abundance of these with
out risking too much on untried oI
unknown sorts. Because some trav
cling agent who is interested in sell
ing some high-sounding variety ut /

sufficient reason for investing.

the only safe guide is to take old anC

THE HISTORY OF NORAH S.
AN EPISODE OF DOUBLE PERSONALITY

AN EPISODE OF DOUBLE PERSONALITY.
This history Of case Of double per-
sonality has not, 80 far as know, been
recorded before. More than twenty
years have elapsed since the death OF
Norah s., and it is not now possible to
obtain many of the details which one
would like to have. But, even in its
imperfect state, the history seems to me
to present peculiarities which make it
remarkable. The first part contains in
formation supplied by Miss x, who
acted as Norah's governess and, at a
later period, as companion. This lady
is still alive, and her wish to have all
names suppressed must be respected.
The information is supplemented by q
few entries in the note book Of doctor
who, at one time, attended Norah.
Norah's parents died when che was
still baby, and, unfortunately their
history cannot be traced. Her father
was an English artist, the mother was
French, and much younger than Der
husband. They lived abroad-at Rome
for the greater part Of the year. 1t was
there that they died, within few days
OF one another. of malignant malarial
fever. Norah was brought to England
and adopted by childless couple-her
fathers brother and his wife.
The adaptive father has practically
nothing to do with this story. He
seems to have been commonplace little
man, energetic in his professionals was
q solicitor-and completely under the
dominion of HE wife at home. Mrs. s.
vas woman of strong and narrow religi-
ous convictions and kindly nature.
Both we're devoted to the child. They
lived in suburb Of North country
manufacturing town. where Mr.. s. had
his practice. Up to the age OF eight
No-ah received certain amount of des-
ultory teaching from Mrs s. Then
regular governess was engaged.
Miss X. was at that time teacher OF
more enthusiasm than judgment. Norah
was very fond of her; she was child OF
precocious intelligence; she was eager
to learn. Miss X. was proud OF her pu-
Dill, and pushed her on. The child
worked six hours day, as rule-some
times more-and she really did work.
At that time unreasoning education was
Just coming into fashion. One is not
surprised to find that shortly after
Norah's ninth birthday the doctor had
to be called in.
He was an old gentleman, and he kept
a kind of rough note book, 10 which he
recorded things Of medical and other
interest. He speaks Of Norah as q
pretty little gipsy. He found that she
slept i'll, was very nervous. and had
poor and capricious appetite. She was
anamic. but he bled her all the same,
For the rest his treatment seems to
Iayman to have been sensible enough.
he gave her a tonic, which probably
did her no harm. He regulated her
diet. He absolutely forbade all lessons
for the next three months. He sent her
TO The seaside, and gave instructions
that she was to play with other children.
He noticed by the way-of course be-
fore the days when such things became
The courier. (Lincoln, Neb.) 1894-1903, 1900-08-11

a special duty-that Norah frowned and
twisted her face if she was asked ques-
ton that it was difficult or unpleasant
for her TO answer.
The child went to Lowestof. with her
adaptive mother and Miss X. Mr.. S. was
detained by his business. The doctor
had given Miss X. the rough side OF his
tongue; 10 his note book he speaks OF
her as "the hired assassin she was
duly penitent. But the old gentleman
recognized that she had made Der mis-
take through ignorance, and that the
adaptive mother had shared the ignor-
apce and encouraged the over pressure.
He saw, too, that the child was very
fond of her, and that it would be bad
for the child to part them at this junct-
ure. Miss ", in her distress. had re-
signed her post, but the doctor would
not permit her to go. He told her
bluntly that she had done enough harm
without that. She was now as eager to
amuse Norah and nurse her back to
health as she had formerly been to turn
her into an infant prodigy. The child
got rapidly better.
On the afternoon Of September 18th.
1s64-the date is fixed by a letter in
Miss Ks possessiop-Norah went out to
play on the beach with some young
friends whose acquaintance she had re-
Gently made. At tea time, as she did
not return, Miss X. went out to look for
her. She found her alone, under the
cliffs, fast asleep. She woke her.
"Wby, Norah, you've been asleep"
she said.
The child looked surprised. Pm
not Norah," she said. ''Norah's gone
away. I'm Janet.
Miss X. at first thought this was some
childish joke" and who lis she. And
who's Janet?' she asked.
'Norah's twin sister. Didn't you
know? She's told me all about you and
Mrs. S."
So far as know, Norah's parents had
no other child. 1t is worth noting. too,
that the normal Norah never spoke Of
MRS. s." She : always called her
mother"
Miss X. began to get rather nervous,
but she still tried 70 get the child to
confess that this was some silly joke.
1t was useless. The child persisted that
she was Janet. She was annoyed at
having it questioned, and asked Miss X.
not to tease her.
She was taken home, and there Mrs. S.
chung to the theory that it was some
piece of naughtiness or silliness on
Norah's part, though che owned that it
was quite out Of keeping with Norah's
usual behavior. The child was cross
examined, bullied, frightened, but all
through she stuck to her statement that
she was not Norah, but Janet. Mrs. s.
brought out new picture book, and
said she would give it to her il she
would write her proper name in it.
IL will write Norah's name, il yon like,
but / am not Norah. She has gone
away"
She picked up pencil and wrote the
name quickly and without hesitation.
Then the two women knew that some
thing was wrong; for the name was

THAT CURFEW ORDINANCE.
What President Browning of City
Union of Christian Endeavor-
er Has to Say About 1t.

Attorney j. w. Browning, president
of the City union of Christian Endeav-
Orers, in conversation with a Tribune
man, said yesterday with reference TO
the suggested curfew law:
My views with reference to a curfew
law are not yet positively settled.
When we have an important point in
law on which an opinion is asked We
make it a rule to examine the law first
and give the opinion afterward. l apI
at present examining the operations Of
the curfew in other cities. The Ques-
tion before us is too important for q
hasty decision. The theory is all right
and the motive behind it is commend
able. 1t is the practical operation Of
the theory we are to determine.
1T is a self-evident fact that some
thing is needed in Scranton along this
line. Possibly a number of additional
policemen will be sufficient to remedy
the evil at which we are aiming.
doubt it, however. l think our ofiic-
ials should be commended for all eff
forts on their part towards the sup
preston of vice. They need all the en-
couragement a healthy public senti-
ment can give to them. They are
equally as deserving of criticism for
violation of duty.
IF a carefully modelled curfew ordi-
nance will aid our officials in perma-
nently preserving our young children
from the dangers, physical and moral,
Of the streets, then | think they should
gladly welcome such a law. From in
formation already gathered, I conclude
that in cities where the people respect
and obey the ordinances there is little
trouble and few arrests. In those cities
the Curfew has proven a great bless
ing. l am sure the people of Scran-
ton respect law equally as we'll as the
people of other cities.
"As said before, I believe the mat
ter an important one. 1t is worthy of
careful consideration. A free discus .
sion pro and con will better enable US
to determine the wisdom of the law as
applied to Scranton. | expect to ap-
point the committee Of investigation in
a day or two, and shall aim to procure
men of cool judgement. on whom the
public may rely for the exercise of
sound discretion before they recon-
mend the passage of such an ordi-
nanCe.'
