The receiving board was put in one of
the upstairs dormiIories yesterday. 1t
is a handsome affair, provided with sets
of dials. automatic signals, electric
buttons. glistening brasses, tape hold
ers, telephone devices, etc. that bewii-
Ger the native police officers. 1t is as
large as a club sideboard. handsomely
finished, much of the wood work being
carved.
In the patrol wagon stable is an indi-
Gator with gong. When box num-
Der comes into the receiver board dial,
the same number appears in large disc
figures on the inulcator, the ropes at
tached to the bits of the horses are au-
tomatically released and by the time the
men are in their seats they are in full
knowledge of where they are to go and
what they are to do, and if others are
to accompany them on the trip.
Twenty-Five boxes are to be provided
for, which will be scattered along the
beats of the officers, but are intended
to be placed strictly in the neighbor-
hoods where braWls are more frequent
| One of these boxes will be placed up
on telephone pole on Bethel street to-
day and on Monday the exhibition will
be given showing in detail what can be
expected of the instrument if it were
three and four miles away from the
station house.
The same plan is being followed "a
the central fire station and an exhibit
ton will be given with this system as
well. The fire boxes are more simple
than the police boxes, as only one sig
nal is necessary to be turned in
Fire."
The police boxes are painted blue and
the fire boxes red. Each police officer
has key which will fit both boxes. Al
regular intervals while he is on his beat
he will be required to turn in a sigma
and a record is made of that fact at the
station house. If an officer snooZeS or
his beat he will be able to do so only
between the lapses of time from one
half hour to another.
II is estimated that 900 is hardly
sufficient to install a complete system
of police boxes but it will be a long
desired start to the desired end. High
Sheriff Brown states that one police
box is as valuable as twenty police of
fcers and the protection to the city
cannot be overestimated.

Running Farm MACHINERY.

No man can be considered an ex-
pert in running farm machinery un-
less he attends to certain points in
managing the machines. First, keep
every joint and bearii-g well oiled.
Next see that all parts which are
liable to collect dust are brushed
clean at least every time the team is
unhitched, and see then that every nut
and bolt is in place and holding the
parts snugly. Not only that, but if a
rattle is heard when at work, inves-
tigate at once and stop it, even il it
is necessary to unhitch the team to
make it safe to work on it. Keep
all cutting parts clean and sharp, and
see that the draft is just right to be
as easy as is possible for both team
and machine. The man who does all
this will accomplish good work and
not injure team or machine.

Every one who has fruit trees to
spray should remember that the east
est and most effective application of
fungicides which can be made during
the year is that made before the leaves
appear. A pure solution of copper
sulphate tblue vitrioD is usually rec
commended for this spraying, though
We are inclined to think that the liber
al addition of this solution is very
much worth while. To make the cop
per-sulphate solution, dissolve six to
eight pounds of the vitriol in fifty gal
Ions of water, thus making it consid-
erably stronger than ordinary Bor-
deaux mixture. The trees will stand
the strong mixture when they have no
foliage. This early spraying given to
apple and pear trees does good work
In preventing scab and some lesser
maladies. On peach trees and Japan
ese piums it prevents leaf curl, and on
all kinds of plums and peaches it helps
to prevent the ripe-fruit rot. 1t ought
not to be omitted.-The Country Gen.

The Glover Hay Worm.

1t is reported that the clover hay
worm, which has never been very
troublesome in the Eastern States so
far as we have learned, is proving a
decided pest in some of the Western
States, where alfalfa is a principal
crop. Those who buy Western clover
or alfalfa should take care that they
do not take this work home with them.
or If a few are found should shake
them out of the hay, sweep them up
and burn them. 1t is not the amount
of the hay that they eat which causes
the loss, but the fact that they foul the
hay with their cxcrements until cattle
reject it unless starving, and even
when eaten it is unwholesome for
them or for their milk. Looking
mouldy and as If full of spider webs
or long threads, every lock in which it
Is seen should also be burned.

Growing Forest Trees.

Those who desire to grow forest
trees Of any kind for shade or orna-
mental trees should remember that
there is no better time to gather the
seed than when it ripens upon the
tree, and no better time for sowing it
than that when it would be self sown
by falling from the tree. That is, if
the tree is native of the place where
it Is to be grown. If from a warmer
climate it may be necessary to start
the seed under glass, and protect 1t in
some way during q few of the first
winters while it is small. AT the Arm
old Arboretum by this method they
have acclimated and grown in this
way some trees and shrubs that are
not native here, and seldom found
north of Mason and DiXon's line. The
seeds from these plants are more
hardy than those from Southern plants
and thus they can be made to endure
our colder northern climate, and the
northern limit Of their growth is grad
ually being extended.-American Cul-
tivator.

Comes Out of n Two Months Sleep and
Make Things Lively.
The reptile house at the Zoo, usu.
ally the quietest and sleepiest place
in the gardens, where the huge ana
condas and lazy-limbed batrachians
slumber away their days in an atmos-
phere of unruttied lethargy, was re-
Gently thrown into state of violent
excitement.
The cause of the trouble was an at
tack upon his keeper by the Egyptian
monitor, the largest lizard in the
world. The reptile is five feet long
| and colored dingy brown. His coat
! is rough and scaly and his claws and
teeth give him n fierce appearance. He
| arrived at the Zoo one very cold day
| last March in halffrozen condition
and until a few days ago remained in
semi-comatose state.
| The keepers had begun to despair
of arousing him from his prolonged
lethargy until ths eXpedient occurred
to them of procuring a mate for the
sleeping monster. A female was ac-
cordingly brought from Africa last
week and placed in the cage with him.
Next morning the keeper was aston
ished to find the rocky floor Of the den
all torn up and the dirt beneath heaped
in great piles against the sides of the
cage. The two lizards were sleeping
innocently side by side in the corner
and the keeper did not disturb them.
The same activity went on every night
for week, and 1t soon became plain
that the monitor was building house
for himself and his new wife.
Th house Las just been completed,
and when the keeper visited the cage
the other morning the female monitor
was tucked away snugly out of sight
inside 1t. Her husband was curled up
over the entrance to the cave, guard
ing it.
Keeper Hess thought nothing of the
matter until he entered the cage to
feed the monitor, and then began a
fight, which ended in the keeper being
driven through the doorway and mar
rowly escaping with a whole skin
The food which Hess took into the
cage was thrown in all directions and
the reptile remained In violenr state

THE DEER.TRAPPER.

AT sight of him the birds berate;
The blackbird points him to her mate,
The blue-jay screams a scathing word.
Even the thrush is anger-stirred-
Stealthy his step by wood-patb dim.
Yet they know and jeer at him.
His coming makes the fields less gay;
The men who work there look away,
No welcome, only half sneer,
For Paul who loafS-and traps the deeri
When night-mist softens clearings rough,
And men who work have worked enough,
Around the shanty doors you hear
Laughing girls make music clear;
Jest answers jest, hearts near to heart-
But Paul Finetfe still keeps apart!
Sleeping he dreams and seems to hide
Close by a spruce-tree's shadowy side;
A slender doe through the MOSES stepped,
Under her foot deer-trap leapt
And fastened on her, biting deep,
Biting deeper at each wild leap!
She is no stolid, british bear
To crouch and wait the trapper there;
Frantic she plunges, crazed with fright,
Bruised and broken, piteous sight
Paul sees and shudders and would away,
But something holds him-he too must
stay!
Such daytime joy, such night time cheer,
For Paul Fineffe who traps the deer!

Quaint Wedding Ceremonies.

The marriage In Constantinople Of
an Englishman and Greek woman
entails three wedding ceremonies. To
be legal it must be performed at the
consulate. The couple are legally
married there the first day, and on the
next church ceremony is performed
in the English church, while the Greek
religious ceremony which follows Is
commonly held at the brides home.
The last is the only legal form of mar
rlage as Far as the bride Is concerned.
In the Greek ceremony no ring is
used, but the best man places wreath
bound with white satin ribbons on the
heads of bride and bridegroom. Then,
while the priest is pronouncing the
words of the service the couple walk
around him in a circle three times,
holding candles, the best man at in
teryals changing the wreaths from
one to the other. When all is over,
the friends throw small coins or little
tokens of gold and silver over the
welded pair. and general scramble
ensues among those present to secure

A New Idea in the Pig Business.

You have all heard of people hatch
ing chicks by means of incubators and
selling them to people who wanted to
raise poultry and Of those who have
calves and sell them to feeders who in
turn prepare them for the block Well
here is a new idea along this line
which 1 have never before heard Of.
1t is the business of raising pigs to sell
to farmers who want to grow pork.
About a year ago the editor of the
Seneca, Missouri Dispatch having a
couple of blocks of ground entirely
remote from the residence portion of
the town, began as a side line the in
dusry of raising pigs and selling them
to feeders. The record OF one animal
out of several will suffice to show pos
sible results 1t must be taken into
consideration that this experiment has
been carried out on limited area Of
ground, and that all feed required for
the brood stock was purchased at mar
ket rates and pasturage of only linn
tied amount was available. Within
one year one brood sow has brought
and raised to marketable age two
ltters, respectively nine and eight
head Of young porkers, which when
sold at an average Of about three
months brought SAT. The total cost
Of keeping the dam, also the young
porkers, until disposed of, on a very

showing mot including labor of caring
for them net profit of $50 upon the
operation.
A herd Of twenty or twenty-five good
brood sows, properly cared for, should
yield a very respectable income for
the time Of one man devoted to the
business. Yet many farmers give lit
ele or no attention t. this in ndustry. :.

Plants Need a Soaking.

If 1t becomes necessary to water
the plants in the vegetable or flower
garden, or seems desirable to do so,
remember that what they will receive
the best results from is not just a
sprinkle, that will lay the dust and
mOisten the surface of the soil so that
1t may bake up hard and dry, and be
worse than before, because it cannot
absorb moisture from the atmosphere
during the night, but they need a soak
ing of the ground that will wet down
to the lower roots, and even tempt
them to strike down deep after more
moisture and more fertility. We never
found better results from water than
when we put tile drain down about
two feet in a raised mound in the
flower bed and turned our water into
that. While before it had been the
first place to dry up in summer, after
that was done the plants always grow
luxuriantly. 1t was an example of
sub-irrigation. While we We're doing
this we could see other gardens where
the sprinkler ran for hours every day,
seldom wetting an inch below the sur
face, and the plants dying or failing
to produce, because the soil never got
well saturated with moisture. When
rainy day came the surface was usu-
ally SO baked up that it soaked UP no
more water than would penetrate the
Shell of turtle. When the garden Is
to be irrigated give water enough to
cover the surface about an inch deep,
allow it to soak in. and when the sur
face is dry stir it enough to give dust
mulch all over it.
