Washington, July l3.-Secretary
Hitchcock has taken up the ques
tion of appointment OF a commits
sion TO supervise the drawing for
homestead entries which will com
mepce at Nj Reno on July %.
Letters have been forwarded to
three prominent men OF national
reputation requesting them to ac-
ccpt positions as members OF the
commissions
The names OF parties are being
carefully guarded though the un-
derstandIug is that Associate jus
tice Brewer Of Kansas has been
requested TO accept the chairman
shin. Other names mentioned IN
connection with places are ex.At-
torney General john W Griegs,
ex. Speaker Thomas B Reed aud
ex. Senator Jobu q Carlisle.

poses aud could DO necessary pay

Heat aud Crime.
One Of the ministers who joined
in the discussion ot the trend of
the pulpit of today, " says the Fort
Worth Register, took the ground
that o pastors place was with his
people in the heated term. Men.
like dogs, are driven to excess by
extreme heat, be says, and are
prone to do evil &c ,ds then. For
that reason, the pastor should stay
with his people and do his part in
warding off evil.
This assertion concerning the eff.
feet OF hot weather upon men is
well borne out b. facts collected
by an Investigator in the field OF
research. Professor Dexter of the
Illinois state university has been
studying the effect of the weather
on the acts of the people for sever
al years. and states that he finds
that the desire to fight rises with
the thermometers, therefore as
saults are more frequent in summer
than in winter. II is also known
that July is the month of the
worlds greatest aud bloodiesl
battles.
Professor Dexter states that
drunkenness decreases IN summer
and increases as the cold weather
increases atter the summer ha,
past. More people become insane
during the three summer months
than during all the other nine
months of the year, and the fire.
Quent suicides and murders during
hot weather inc. a. LAT extreme
heat is one OF the principal causes
OF insanity Suicides reach theil
maximum on bright days with q
high barometer, and increase as
the wind rises.
The readers Of daily papers dur
ing the past two weeks have read
much TO confirm the conclusion:
Professor Dexter has reached from
his study of the effect of the
weather on the morals and acts OF
the PEOPLE.

Hasn't winter started in with consid-
cradle vigor, considering the fact that
he does not take his seat-in the alma

wind that is continually blowing makes
the situation still more uncomfortable.
But as this is Thanksgiving Day let us
try to be thankful that we were born no
further north, and especially that we are
not with Lieut.. Peary in northern Green
land, or somewhere in that region. Oh,

FLOWER AND TREE.

A good tree we'll planted will usually
grow whether the work is done In the
spring or fall.
A white pine will measure twenty
five feet at twenty years and gain
twenty-five feet more in the next ten
years.
The smallest tree in the world Is the
Greenland birch. Its height Is less
than three inches, yet 1t covers a ra-
dius Of two or three feet.
In dealing with your plants be
prompt. If one needs attention. see
that it gets it at once. This is the
only way to have success in plant
growing.
Experts assert upon investigation
that the fir trees of western Washing
ton grow from $50 to 800 feet high and
are from FIVE to thirty-fve feet In d.
ameter and are stronger than oak Of
the Atlantic coast.
II you want your palms to thrive In
an ordinary sitting room. sponge the

hours In lukewarm water deep enough
to completely cover the pot. This Is
the proper way to water palms.

excellent sermon from the words found
in Eccl. ITO. The present times were
happily contrasted with the former and
the view presented was most hopeful.
The speaker said that in contrasting
former times with the present, many are
apt to select some pleasant feature of
the past to compare with an evil tend
ency of the present. This is unfair.
Both good and evil should be considered.
The discourse was throughout able and
instructive.
