II ANO GARDEN.

The budding knife should be sharp.
Put a quart of SCOT into two gallons
Of water and use 1t as a liquid fer
tillzer.
Among all the wasted matter on the
farm bones are the most valuable as a
manure
The dwarfing of a tree occurs by the
slight disagreement between the scion
and the stock.
The pear is dwarfed by several DIFF
ferent stocks-the ounce, the noun
tain ash and the thorn.
II strawberries are grown without
much attention, the weeds and grass
are certain to assert themselves.
No farm Is complete unless 1t has Or
chards. Not only should the apple he
given n place. but all other fruits. The
small fruits should be grown, especial
ly for family use.
There are two points Of danger In
manuring trees. One Is too much ma
nure and the other not enough. Too
much manure induces too late a
growth. not giving time for the wood
to fully mature before cold weather
sets in.

"Growing Down."

Everybody has noticed that In ex-
IRENE old age people grow rapidly
shorter. so that a person formerly OF
average height grows down" into
quite a diminutlve man or woman A
German contemporary points II that
this decrease of height begins as early
as the age Of IS years. AT 80. we are
told, the human body has reached its
full height. which is retained for a few
years. after which the growing down"
process begins. At first and for many
years the process Is so slow as TO be
almost imperceptlble, but at the age Of
about 60 II begins to be noticeable. and
after 20, wen though a veteran does
not sIoop at all. the fact that he IL
growing down becomes apparent to
one and all.

A Reluctant Candidate.


During a local election In a German
town only one man appeared at the
nomination desk.
"Whom do you nomlnater" inquired
the official.
Myself" was the answer.
"Do you accept the nomination."
"Well. no."
The officer laughed and said:
"Then we must try again. Whom do
you nominated"
"MyselfT
"You accept the nomination.
"No."
A subdued "donnerwetterw escaped
the lips Of the perplexed official. but he
went on:
"For the third ~time-whom do you
'nominateY'
"Myselfw same the invariable reply.
do you accept the nomination.
The ma rose up. and n smile Of
satisfaction spread over his face as he
answered proudly:
"Having been three times solicited
by my fellow citizens to accept the
nomination, | can no longer decline to
accede to their wishes" lie then re-

DUBOSE IS LOSING FLESH.
His Testimony is of Little Value in the
Noyes Case.

A dispatch from San Francisco
says: Dudley Dubose, ex-judge Of
Montana, who was jailed last spring
for contempt, occupied the stand In
the Noyes case the latter part OF last
weeks proceedings. Dubose's testi-
mony has been very tame. His recol.
lection Of what occurred ut Nome has
not added to or helped the prosecu-
ton Of Judge Noyes. Dubose shows
the effects Of his three months i'm
prisonment In his clear, white skin
and IN the loss of considerable flesh.
He says that he rather enjoyed the
rest, which is the longest and best he
has had for "A good many years.
The feeling between Attorney Pills
bury, amicus c%uriue, and the two
attorneys FOR Judge Noyes, Me-
Luughlin and Heaney. Is reaching
the explosive point. Pillsbury takes
full advantage Of the great latitude
which the court has allowed him.
His direct examination Of witnesses
covers everything under the sul.
Opinions are asked for not only from
the witnesses, but from second and
third parties. Hearsay evidence of
every kind is placed upon the records.
His cross-exaininatlon IL even more
remarkable. He rarely confines him
self to matters OF the direct examiu-
alton. He really makes the cross
examination direct. To nearly every
question Plllsbury asks an objection
Is entered. Yesterday the situation
became So serious that It looked as
II Attorney Heaney would assault
Pillsbury.
DuBose stated at the close Of his
testimony that hundreds Of affida-
Wits had been made at Nome 10 re-
gard to the working of claims for
which Mckenzie had been receiver.
For every affidavit which declared
Mckenzie's methods extravagaDt
and wasteful, there was one to show
that he had lessened the expenses,
saved n greater percentage OF the
gold dust and at the same time paid
better wages. The list Of witnesses
is nearly exhausted and 1t isexpected
that Noyes will take the stand early
next week.

message three days to furnish the en- tire sum. When the three days had passed he sent back the child, cut into flour pieces. Kismet! It was fate! Nothing was done.
 Seventy or eighty dollars for na- tive; one hundred thousand dollars for a foreigner-that is about the scale and the measure of the lands poverty. This same Nicko took from the heart of a village, on one hindering him, MT. and Mrs. Synge, British subjects. He sent Mrs. Synge to Consul General Blunt, in Salonica, to say that the ransom was fixed at one hundred thousand dollrs. Women are seldom taken by brigands: It IS the theory, natural enough in the east, that woman cannot walk or ride well enough to stnd nasty marches. Besidesf, in Macedonian circles there is still no doubt BIS to which is the impor- tant person. the head of the family. When bandits steal women it argues an education in western ways. MT. Synge was we'll treated and fed heartily; if oc- casionally Nicko would smile wickedly and draw his finger across his throat in pantomlme, it was but the custom of the country. He was polite enough in by messenger with MT. Blunt, assuming all the airs of a bellig- erent party. In the end Blunt got

Had her late Majesty sent pipes to the men, as the present 1 queen is doing, not so many of them, ] presumably, would have been sent | home for the comfort of the women folk. More interesting still, as q proof of the vital relation of this little Eng l fish village to the far-reaching pro jects of great empire, is the strappinS young fellow ane can see every day quietly following his trade now and , with no thought of a pension-who was 1 one of the eighteen so fortunate as to come back alive from the attack on Spi- on Kop.
 The two places of staple interest in this village are the parish church and the magistrates court. As regards the former one is newly impressed every time he comes here after several months of absence with the strange, graveyard coldness that rests upon the place. Solemnity and distance seem to be mistaken by these villagers for reverence and Christian worship. If you were to nod to an acquaintance during service there would be a chance that some plaster of Paris presentment of one of the dead ancestors would fall from its niche in a fit of apoplexy. You mustn't speak to your dearest friend in church-not even while you are leaving church, until you are fully outslde-or you will have violated all the traditions of the place and may be rted in village gossip for ever after as heather.
 They are not quite so strict in the vil- lage police court There the same gen tleman who wouldn't dare to recognize you in any way from his pew on the other side of the church will sit on the bench as magistrate and tip you d wink or nod with the utmost noncha- lance, looking almost at times as though he would like your opinicn of the case upon which he and several other justi- ces of the peace are sitting. To this writer attendance upon petty courts in England is q source of never-ending amusement. One cannot help smiling to see how often they make mountain out of a mole hill Four boys are throwing stones and break q window valued at eighteen cents They are de- fendants at the bar for this crime, and because they had threatened, as boys well might, to clout little fellow who had split on them and was a witness in the case, the matter became serious. Two of the boys, six shillinga each or three days-the other two, fifteen shil- lings each or seven days at hard labor. This was the principal case at the vil- lage court when I was last there. AS a student of events 1t made the writer esmile, but the poor unfortunate lads didn't smile, nor did the acknowledged chairman of the board when he an- nounced their doom.

BRIGANDAGE IN MACEDONIA.
Ruling Prices for Ransoming Natives
 and Foreigners.

Ruling Prices for Ransoming Natives
 and Foreigners.
 The bandit is the Macedonian hero. The admiration of him is inbred. Greek independence was won by bandits in- ured to fighting and marches; not by townsmen. The Greek national cos tune to-day-the resplendent uniform worn by the kings crack regiments of "Euzones"-is that of the Albanian brigand. Macedonia spasmodically hopes to be redeemed from Islam as was Greece. In a country where pow erty is the sole safeguard against plum der the brigand is the only hero, and he is the only dndy. He comes into the semi weekly market, where the women chatter over their wares, or strides through a railroad car, known by eve rybady, with his snow white fustanella standing out about him like ballet dancers skirt, his heavily tasseled cap, his embroidered tunc stiff with gleam- ing metal twirling his fierce mus tachois. The romantic young envy him; their elders at least recognize in him familiar burden. He is popular.
 The world hears nothing of the bri- gands unless they disturb Europeans. With natives their methods the drastic. The famous Nicko once took from La rissa two children, of different families, whom he held for ransom at three and four hundred liras, respectively. The wealthy parents redeemed their child The other pair were very poor They sent fifty liras, with humble apologies Nicke returned the money. By heroic efforts the distracted people scraped to- gether ane hundred liras, Again Nicke returned them giving in a..peremptory a.

Synge off for seventy thousand dollars and forty gold CD watches bought for five dollars each in the salonica mar ket. Blunt's kavass took the money into the mountains and met Nicko,
 who bit and tested every coin of the gold, throwing out a few light pieces. The watches were all acceptable. That ended the transaction-except that the kavass nearly came to blows with Nicko because the latter wouldn't fee him for his trouble in carrying the money Era,
