Washington, March 6.-The industrial
ommission today heard witnesses In re-
gard to the alleged discharge OF employees

road company because such employees

tion In this connection.

Alfalfa on Muck Land.

]. L.. northwestern Indiana, asks
whether alfalfa viii thrive on muck
land that overfiows; also whether 1t
will grow In his climate. Alfalfa is
not a wet soil plant. 1t is indeed very
doubtful whether it will do any good
upon his overlooked muck land. IL
the common red clover will not thrive
there, alfalfa will not. Alslke clover
will thrive upon such land. 1t costs n
little more per bushel of seed than
common red clover. but the seed being
smaller not quite so much is required
per acre A bushel will do for eight
acres II sown alone. Your muck land
would be a royal place for rape. Your
latitude Is all right for alfalfa IL you
give 1t a porous subsoil with the water
level three feet or more below the sur
face 1t costs little more per bushel
than common red and should be sown
in about the same amount on well
prepared seed bed in the spring and
the seed slightly covered. Some of
the most successful growers SOW no
grain with It. J. L. Wing sows a

for organization of the militant
nations whose wrath she is pro-
voking, the pacification of the
country would be an appalling
task. China proper, according
to the latest but imperfect esti-
mates, contains population of
1888, 100000; dependencies 10000,
600. The population per square
mile, taking the entire country,
is 292. In the United States the
population per square mile is
only 21.3. In only two of our
States is this average density of
population of the Chinese prov
inces exceeded in Rhode Island
and the District of Columbia

of New York per square mile is
only 1876. Notwithstanding it's

Nearly every province in old
China is more densely peopled
than the Empire State; but this
teeming population is very imper-
fectly organized for war. China
yielded to Japan, failure to
repel this single nation ought to

THE BICYCLE.

The following is from the New
York Times:
A bicycle, in the opinion of the
Massachusetts Supreme Court,
is more properly a machine than
a carriage, and on the ground it
has decided that a certain Law
rama Richardson, who had secur-
ed a verdict for $3.50 damages
against the town of Danvers be-
cause depression in a Danvers
highway wrecked her wheel and
seriously injured herself, cannot
get the consolatory reward. The
Court admitted that for many
purposes a bicycle could be con
sidered a carriage. AS such, for
instance, it's owner had a right to
the use of the highway, and could
even enjoy the privilege of paying
tolls, but it was another matter
to try to collect damages under
an old statute providing that
towns must keep their roads
reasonably safe for travellers,
with their horses, teams and car
riages. A bicycle, the Court
explained whether from exper-
fence or not it failed to reveal
''is of but little use in wet wealth
er or on frozen ground. It's value
consists in the pneumatic tire,
but this is easily punctured, and
no one who uses wheel thinks of
taking a ride of any distance
without having his kit of tools
with him. A hard rut, a sharp
stone, bit of coal or glass or a
tack in the roadway may cause
the tire to be punctured, and this
may cause the rider to fall and
sustain an injury. 1t would i'm
pose an intolerable burden upon
towns to hold them bound to keep
their roads in such state of re-
pair and smoothness that a bicy-
Gle could go over them with as
sured safety" SO the lady with
the name which is such a remark
able product Of the New England
fancy must give up all hope of
the $3.50 that once seemed to be
almost within her grasp, and the
amiable economists of Danvers
can, without paying any penalties
therefore, continue to maintain
roads over which modern vehicles
cannot safely pass. They can
also continue to wear out their
own wagons and horses in the
good old way-in short, can be
almost as unciyilized and behind
the times as they choose.
