idea that the bean crop can be made a
last resort ON wornout soil and that,
other crops failing, beans may be plant

tional instances and under extraor-
dinarily favoring conditions would the
crop be worth the harvest and thrash

NO JUNE DROP.
The Cuitivator and Not the Pillow

The Cuitivator and Not the Pillow
Used In "a New Jersey Orchard.
Many farmers leave their orchards
until all the other spring work, such as
sowing oats and planting corn, is fin
ished. Then about the 1st of June
when a good sod has formed, they go
in and rip up and ridge up the soil
with the pillow. This is. | believe, a
radically wrong method, for, in addi-
ton to leaving unsatisfactory surface
conditions ALTERNATE ridges and fur
rows, the fibrous roots that are thrown
out for the sustenance of the fruit are
cut off, and the June drop" and the
forced fruit of July almost invariably
follow. During the last five years on
5000. trees l have had no June drop
and not a basket of forced fruit, and
have not had plow in my orchard in
that time, but have used a cultivator
exclusively.
Some II years ago l contrived a cul-
tivator, having in view two principal
objects-to relieve the team from the
annoyance of being driven close to the
trees and to save time by rapid work.
AS the cultivator does. not need to run
more than two or three inches deep,
the roots of the trees are but slightly
disturbed, the surface remains level,
less tendency to wash is noticed, the
soil is kept free from weeds, and the
trees show a vigorous and healthy
growth.
All this is not secured by one cult
vation We begin as early in the
spring as the ground and weather will
permit, and by the middle of July we
have gone through the orchard seven
or eight times. After that we do no
more cultivating until the next spring.
I believe thorough cultivation is abso-
lutely essential if you would keep your
trees vigorous and make them long
lived.-S. B. Voorhees,.

MEMS GARB FOR WOMEN.

healthful and Immoral.

DR.. Mary Walker for well-nigh As
years has preached dress reform for
women. Her ideas, as much as her pc
culiar adoption of male attire, have
made of her national character. She
is now past 60 years of age, but is
more than ever committed to her
ideas.
In recent article published by the
Chicago American she advocates the
adoption by women of male attire for
the following reasons:
Did you ever watch Flora MacFlim-
sy stepping on or off car? Could
there be anything more grotesque?
AS the car approaches she grabs fran
tically bunch of dry goods which has
trailed for blocks behind her in the
mud. Swishing them about her until
she has bound up her knees as if in q
wise, she essays to step into the car.
But the yards of lingerie and dress
hamper her. 1t requires the greatest
effort to mount the step. 1t is often
times accompanied with the sacrifice
of her expensive costume.

HELPED SAVE SEWARD'S LIFE.
Mrs. Coleman, Who for rwenty-seven
Years Has Been Employed by
the Government.

Secretary Gage, of the treasury de-
partment, has recently accepted the
resignation of one of the Oldest en-
ployes of the government, n woman
who participated in one of the most
tragic events in this country's his
tory-Mrs. Marguerite Coleman, who
saved Secretary of State Wilnam II.
Seward from death at the hands of
Payne, one of the conspirators with
John Wilkes Booth, on the night the
latter assassinated President Lincoln,
says Washington report.
Mrs. Coleman was appointed to the
laborers' roll in the treasury depart
ment in 1874 and has served faithful
ly 27 years, but failing health and
advancing years have compelled her
to resign. During all that time she
has been employed in the division of
loans and currency and it was with
great regret that her resignation was
accepted. The secretary of the treas
ury Immediately appointed her niece,
Marguerite L. Coleman, to the posi-
tion, so that the salary may be kept
in the family.
Mrs. Coleman has had the care of
her niece all the latter's life and has
educated her, so that the appointment
to-day is regarded as particularly fit
ting. While the position is not in the
classified service, the work to be
performed is light and not too much
for the strength of woman. The
remuneration is only 5000 year.
There is little question that had it
not been for the timely interference
of Mrs. Coleman on that eventful
night of April IA, 1865, Secretary Sew
ards life would have been sacrificed,
according to the plans OF the conspir-
ators. She was employed in the fam
lily OF the secretary as nurse and, to-
gether with an invalid soldier named
Robinson, was caring for Secretary
Seward, who was confined to his bed
on account of injuries received in an
accident few days previous.
Mrs. Coleman was standing in the
upper hall when Payne, the conspir-
ator, dashed up the stairs. She
stopped him and asked what he want
ed. With an eXecration, he pushed
her to one side and rushed on. She
screamed and threw her arms around
the man, who again swore at her and
pushed her away. Her screams and
the slight delay caused by intercept.
ing the would-be murderer gave warn
ing to the soldier, Robinson. who was
in Mr.. Stewards room, and also to the
secretary himself.
As Payne burst into the room the
soldier grappled with him, but was
shaken off. Payne made dash fer
the bed, striking at the secretary with
knife. The secretary had rolled 10
the further side of the bed, against
the wall, and thus escaped any seri-
ous injury.
The screams Of Mrs. Coleman and
| the shouts of the soldier drew others
into the room. among them the snc-
retary's son and Payne. realizing that
he was baked in his attempt, rushed
down the stairs and out of the horse.

of the leading artists and sculptors.
Already her face has been put on
canvas by such painters as Carl BSen-
ner, Carroll Beckwith, Levy and lrv-
ing Wiles Church.
1t is Ryland w. Phillips, the artist
photographer, who claims the honor
of having first discovered this new
beauty. Last October he arranged
to have her come to his studio and
pose for several pictures, which were
later placed on exhibition at the
Photographed society and created
wide discussion. In speaking of Miss
Nesbit, Mr.. Phillips said:
"Miss Nesbit has mobile face, yet
she can change her personality in
looks, gesture and effect quicker than
anyone else l have ever seen. sic
can change her whole expression in
stantly from sorrow to gladness,
every feature adding to the total
transformation. Miss Nesbit is
great beauty. She has splendidly
developed head and face showing
unusual character. About her fore
head there are lines of exceptional
beauty denoting great intellectual
power"
Besides her beauty, Miss Nesbit is
endowed with gift of dramatic tai
ent and emotional capacity sufficient
to warrant her in hoping to attain
success on the stage, for which she
| is now preparing herself.
