In Society.
A woman in society is obliged to Keep
late hours. She must attend receptions
and balls. She seldom allows herself
quiet evening at home, Her whole time
is taken up in keeping engagements or
entertaining in her own home.
Her system becomes completely run
down as a consequence. She soon hnds
herself in a condition known as sys-
ten.ic catarrh. This has also been called
catarrhal nervousness.
IL every society woman could know
the value of Peruna at such time, II
they could realize the invigorating.

Hosts To-day.
San Francisco, July 20.--A spirit of
animation and enthusiasm marked the
work of the third day of the Interna-

The delegates had been admonished at
the close of yesterdays meeting by

much sightseeing and that "all should
get to work and pump salvation into
these people," This injunction was
obeyed.
A long programme of speeches was
gone through with commendable
promptness, all being listened to with
the deepest interest and applauded with
hearty enthusiasm. Open-air meetings
were held at half a dozen places in
widely separated districts Of the city,
as well as the music stand in Golden
Gate Park and the Palace Hotel court.
Song services, prayers and speeches
made up the programme at these meet
ings, which were attended by crowds.

How TO Treat the Criminal.
Hospital and Prison Work" was the
theme of an important address by Rev.
B. S. Campbell of st. Joseph, Mo. He
said:
For the criminal no treatment Is
adequate or Christian which does not
contemplate his reformation. Make
him a new man. That will suppress
crime and protect society. That is
Christian. Nothing less will do. But
how? Treat him as a brother. Appeal
to his honor. Quicken his moral sense.
Avoid punishment which incites re-
venge or lowers manhood. Reward him
for well doing and demerit him for
wrong doing. Let the sentence be in
determinate in order to insure time for
reform and to release when practical
BILE.
Teach his fingers skill in the indus
trial arts. Work saves. Pay him for
his toll. TO have strengthens manhood.
Cultivate his mental powers. Equip
him with might to conquer. Lay hold
on him by love. Lead him to Christ.
Fortify him against the evil day by
enriching his mind and heart with
Christian literature.
Care for him at the outer gate. The
world is suspicious and sometimes cold.
Show him kindness. Be his patron.
Hold him up. Great will be your re-
ward in Heaven.
Il appeal to you as the sovereign peo-
pie in these lands to demand the elimi-
nation of party politics from the or
ganization and management of the
prison. Let us have good men, capable
men. Men who love their kind; who
would rather carry a bruise and bleed
ing lamb to the Great Shepherd than
have the riches of these golden shores"

Pretty Feature In n Garden.

A sunken garden is q pretty feature
in outdoor decoration, where some
natural depression makes such an
adaptation practicable. 1t may be
either a wild or a formal garden. In
the latter case the sunken space is
made regular and the sides terraced
down to it, with broad flight Of stone
steps leading down to the garden prop
er, which is a perfectly fiat surface
laid out in geometrical beds and, if
possible, water space in the centre
filled with aquatic lilies; not foun-
tain, but a clear sheet of water in q
large concrete receptacle, the top Of
which is flush with the surrounding
grass. This is finished with Il stone
coping, and the water is supplied, as
it would be in bathtub, from the
house supply, with drain pipe to keep
1t fresh. The lilies are planted in tubs
with what earth is necessary for their
growth and maintenance. A sunken
garden, deep in its green terraced set
ting, with its formal beds all ablaze
with color, is a lovely sight.
A wild sunken garden initiates luxu-
RANT nature as closely as possible; the
surrounding ground is sloped instead
Of terraced. the. access is rocky path
and the garden itself an assemblage Of
wild flowers appropriately grouped to-
gether.-

The GorminntIon of Seeds.

The influence Of certain chemical fer
tilizers upon the termination of seeds
was studied by the late Gilbert IL.
Hicks and the results have been re-
Gently published in bulletin by the
United States department of agricul'
ture. The fertilizer was used in much
larger proportion than obtains in actu-
al practice and at the rate Of 1000 to
5000 pounds per acre, but it showed
that muriate of potash and nitrate OIL
soda when used in such large quantl-
ties were detrimental to the germlna-
ton of seeds whether applied directly
or mixed with the soil.
The chief injury to termination Is In
flicted after the young sprouts leave
the seed coat and before they appear
above the soil. Fertilizers composed of
phosphoric acid and lime are less in
furious and not harmful unless used in
excess. The results Of the trial show
that chemical fertilizers do not favor
termination and that they should never
be brought in direct contact with ger
minating seeds However, when ap-
piled at the usual rate there is little or
no injury to be feared unless the seed
is dropped. from the same spout ut the
same time and covered up with the
fertilizer.

Classification of Soils.

Soils are divided. in common prac-
tice, into strong or heavy soils, and
light or sandy soils. Clay is the pre-
dominating element IN the heavy soils,
is stiff, holds water tenaciously. and i'll
the spring is slow in warming up,
which is the result of the evaporation
of water. A soil from which the water
is not early evaporated in the spring,
is necessarily q late soil, and crops
that are grown on it get such a late
start that they do not escape the drouth
and are not sufficiently strong to re-
sist, wholly or partially, the attacl: of
insects. The drainage of such soils. as
is we'll understood, causes them to dry
out sooner and insures a suitable con-
dtion for earlier planting. Humus re-
leves clayey soils of their extreme
stiffness. makes them more porous and
permeable. The clay soils. because
they absorb great deal of moisture
and retain it to q considerable degree,
do not, IL properly cultivated. feel the
drouth us badly as light soils, and
