CONTINUOUS CURRENT ESSENTIAI-CA
FUL PICKING NECESSARY.
Watercress growing is profitable industry for
women who live near large towns and who have
running water at hand The health of the plant
depends upon abundant continuous current and
a shallow stream Without these the leaves be-
come stunted and the growth will not be plentiful.
The best soil for it is gravelly loan on clay, be-
cause it retains the water, makes the bottom firm
and supplies sufficient nourshment.
Cleaning and replanting should take place an
nually. This entails a good deal of expense, but it
IS necessary if one would obtain the full value of
the beds.
1t is good idea to allow ducks to follow the
workmen while this is going on. they eat the
caddis worm, which is always a trouble among the
plants.
In remaking the beds the upper sprigs of the
cress are first gathered and put down in con-
Venient spot for replantng sheltered the wind
and sun. The bed3 dikes then thoroughly
cleaned out and the muddy soil removed with all
the old roots. weeds and living creatures it
tains. The bottom is then carefully leveled and
the stream allowed to flow to thoroughly out
all impurities for a sufficient time. The repanting
can now proceed The cut cress is carefully laid
down in rows or spread broadcast the ground.
The former plan admits of a steady flow of water.
If seed is sown, then it is advisable do where
the water is sluggish, otherwise the force Of the
stream would carry away the greater part of the
seeds sown. After the plants laid down it will
be necessary sometimes TO make a dam of large
stones where there is danger of their being shifted
from their position. The Is then let in spar
ingy at first for fear of the plants being disturbed
until the young rootlets strike, which they will in
the course of three four days In this way every

NO MUD THROWING.

One thing is particularly noticeable so
far in the political campaign and that is
the absence of personal abuse.
While personal ridicuie and arrasgn-
naent of character seldom enters into a
presidential campaign the same can not
always be said of state and county cam
paigns. So far the speakers of both sides
have spoken in the highest terms of the
candidates on the opposition ticket and
have been particular to announce that
their criticisms of the candidates on the
other side would be wholly from a politi-
cal standpoint and in no way personal.
1t seems strange that mud singing has
been given up but the champions of
both tickets deserve credit for it's elm
nation The people who belong to the
side Of the enemy are always willing
to hear fair and clean criticisms of their
party from speakers of the other side but
viii not listen to abuse

aRowTH OF THE NAVY.

The change which has come over the
people of the United States during the
past few years in their opinion OF the
navy is remarkable. Ten years ago
there was an impression that the navy
department was nothing more than an
expensive luxury which was INDUCED
in from force of habit. 1t was a very
difficult matter for the friends of the
navy to convince a member of congress,
who represented an inland state, that
there was any necessity for appropria-
tons to build more ships. or oven build
docks to repair those the country had
built. Now all that is changed and the
navy department can get almost any
amount appropriated that is deemed
necessary.
This change is due to the Spanish war
and the naval battles which occurred
during that war. Prior to that time few
people in the west knew the names of
more than half a dozen vessels in the
navy, but today even the children can
rattle off the names of the different YES
sells with their armament, class and rate
of speed. With the great interest which
has been created in our navy it win be
years before it will ever be allowed to
drop behind that of other powers as it
has done in the past.
The completion of the two great bat
tie ships the Kearsarge and the Ala
bama has caused nothing but favorable
comment Twenty years ago, or even
later, every inland senator and con-
gresham who would vote for the appro-
priation that was required to build those
ships would have been condemned by his
constituents. Today a vote against such
an appropriation would make the same
constituents just as angry. The people
living in the inland states have learned
a lesson and they viii not soon forget it.

When the sidewalks most deserted,
And the policeman's disconnected,
For he's walking all alone upon his beat:
When the cabmen are gaping,
And their horses are a mapping,
And the suns a beating hot upon the
street.
The quiet's quickly broken,
And everythings in motion,
And you wonder what has brought this
change about.
If you'll only pay attention,
No one will have to mention
That the fire bell has just rung out.
For instance, just supposing,
That VanWinkie was a doing,
Somewhere round about quiet town;
He'd not sleep on for ages,
But in the early stages
His sleeping face would wear q troubled
frown.
Though he'd never heard alarm clocks.
He couldn't stand the nerve shocks,
And he'd wake up with his hair a stand
ing straight.
He'd not sleep another minute.
For his SHORES would not be in it
With the fire bell a ringing thirty-eight.
Some people come and go,
And say were rather slow
And we never get excited like and shout,
But guess they'd have to rustic,
And get right up and hustle,
If the fire bell commenced a ringing out.
