Vacant City Lots.

One of the advantages of what is
known as the 'Pingree potato patch"
scheme probably never occurred to
Governor Pingree when he proposed
the plan of utilizing vacant city lots
to grow vegetables for the poor who
were able and willing to cultivate
them. Those vacant lots, uncultlvated
and uncarel for while waiting to he
used for building purposes, were
usually covered during the summer
with all manner of foul weeds, whose
seeds were thus perpetuated and car
ried by winds and running water, by
teams and carts, and more than in all
other ways by birds, into the country
to spring up in cultivated fields and
gardens or along the roadsiles as
nuisances to the farmer. We're all
such lots cultivated and given clean
cultivation, as they are likely to re-
ceive when poor man or woman is
trying to grow upon a small plot a
supply of vegetables for family use, it
would he much easier to keep market
gardens and orchards free from weeds.

Old Army Mule Executed.

Through an order of the War De-
partment Jack, the old army mule,
known to every visitor at the army
post at Willets Point, L. l.. for some
years, has been executed.
jack was about thirty -ive years old
and had good record. For many
years he was used in the service, and
was finally turned over to the engi-
neers who had charge of the work of
removing the rocks in the He'll Gate
Channel. For three years Jack worke ed
underground, drawing in and out the
cars of stone and powder.
When He'll Gate was blown up he
was turned over to The post here, and
it was almost year before anybody
could drive him. Jack conld not get
used to the light, and many private
who thought he knew how to conquer
him came to grief after short trial.
At last the mule became accustomed
to daylight and performed his labor
faithfully until three years ago, when
age showed itself and he had to DO
retired. The Government finally got
tired OF feeding Jack, after waiting
three years for him to die natural
death.
Jack was placed in charge Of some
privates, who formed in line and
marched slowly to the beach. Once
there, Private Mason spoke few en-
couraging words and then led the
mule to, q .pile,of wood. Placing a
rife to the animals head, Mason
pulled the. trigger, and the career OF
the mule was ended. The body fell
on the wood. "A match was applied
and wood and Jack burned together

To Suve Leaking Ships,

On the occasion of ship springing
a leak, her pumps are set t. work to
get the water out as fast as it comes
in. Instead of this, it is suggested
by writer in the American Machinist
that air-pumps he used to force air
into the leaky compartment, and thus
force the water back through the hole
where it entered. There is, it is re-
marked, n means of expelling water
from the filled comp ar!ments so obvi
GUS as to render it matter of wonder
that engineering skill has not put Cor
ward the plan: simply to close the
matches of the foo led compartments
and drive the water out by forcing all
in; nor would it make the slightest
difference, how large the h.les might
he in the bottor, as the water would
be expelled and kept out on tho same
principle rs the old-fashioned diving

WHY Tower, and Not Castle.

London's most famous historical
building was named the "Tower," and
not the Castle" Of London. Most
fortresses OF Norman construction in
England keep the name of castle; Lon.
don's Norman fortress alone bears an
other title. The reason is to be found
in the methods of Norman military
architecture. A Norman fortress was
constructed Of tower or keep, with
an attendant castle, each having the
same relative Importance. The first
Constable of the Tower called himself
"Con stable OF the Tower Of London
and its attendant Castle" Whereas il
the case of most such buildings in Eng
land the name castle has survived long.
est, in the case Of the principal for.
tresses at the capitals of Normandy
and of Norman England the tower was
the chief part of the Notifications.
Thus the castle at Rouen, like the
castle at London, always has been
called tire "Tour de Rouen." The
White Tower was so called because its
builder, Henry ILL.,, whitewashed it.

LAND WITHOUT STRIKES.
Law Which Has Been Remarkably
Successful In New Zealand.

Law Which Has Been Remarkably
Successful In New Zealand.
New Zealand has anticipated the
rest of the world by enacting law
which deals sorationally with all tradi
disputes that it has actually prevented
strikes for the last five years. 1t is
impossible to present more than an
outline of the plan.
Both associations Of employers and
the. trade unions may be incorporated.
Those which are chartered, or regis
tered, choose the members of their
own board and also the members of
the court to which disputes are re.
ferred. Whether organized or not,
the associations and trade unions are
subject to the law.
The colony OF New Zealand is d.
vided into industrial districts, for
each of which there is a Cancellation
board elected for three years. 1t con.
sists of two persons chosen by regis
tered employers; two by registered
trade unions, and one disinterested
person elected by the four, who is
chairman. When dispute arises be-
tween employers and the men in their
employ, either party may refer the
matter in dispute to the district board,
which has full authority to investigate
the facts and to recommend settle.
ment.
In case either party will not accept
the decision, the matter is referred to
the State court. This consists of one
person representing the trade unions,
one the employers, and a chairman,
q Judge OF the Supreme Court, APP
pointed by the. Governor. The court
has three years. term and is wisely
independent of politics.
A decision of this court is final and
must be accepted under penalty for
violation not exceeding S250O. More
over, when dispute has been re.
ferred to the Cancellation board, and
until it is finally settled, a strike or
lockout is illegal.
That there have been about fifty
cases referred to district boards or to
the court in the past five years, that
during that time there has been
neither strike nor lockout in New Zea-
land, and that in every case the deci-
sion has been accepted by both part
les, seems to prove. either that the law
is excellent, or that it is excellently
administered. Perhaps it Demon
strates both propositions. The neces-
sity for the passage of similar law
in this country is too apparent to re.
quire argument. Aside from the in
terests OF the employers and the en-
ployed. the greater interests Of the
general public demand it.

General Lord Paul Methuen is a

Paul once put his powers to good use
in the defence of Il lady whom he
