A year ago, while Twas drinking afternoon tea in a London drawing room, there entered a tall, 1.-the han, with coal black hair, beard and mus taches, restless visionary eyes, and a nervous mouth, twitching with half sad humor. did not know him, but he magnetized metaimmediatelys intuitively divined the intensity of his personal force5 the rich radiance of his character, the passionate idio- syncrasy of his soul, says a writer in the London Star.
 At that time. Zionism was a mere shibboleth to me, one of the husks that are blown about the social and political highways. But the moment saw this modern Moses, this prac- tical prophet, Ziosism became vivid reality. For I recognized in him at once one of those apostles who work miracles by the power of their will and the empire of their egotism. At that time Hefzl could not speak a word of English. After a few com monplaces he drifted away again, Ieay- ing me profoundly interested in his romantic genius. He had done noth- ing. said nothing, but he had been himself. Now, the man who can be himself in 8 drawing-room is rare. And this mans self was so bizarre, so disturbing, so strange, that caught myself wondering at it's per sistence in my mind.
 We'll, the other day I met Herzl again in another drawing-room-th drawing-room of the Hotel Cecil. Here it was who drifted in, and the first thing that disentang1ed itself from the rout of men and women was. the old restless visionary gaze that. had haunted me before.

 New Haven gave very little promise of scoring early in its part of the ninth inning. Braun and Ashe each went out on flies. Some little encour- agement was offered when Bone got struck by a pitched ball and reached first He went no further toward tie ing the score because O'Brien was thrown out easily on a grounder.
 The game was not so brilliant as the close score might suggest. Ramon was the star of the game. capturing six put-outs in New Hayen's left field.

 MT. Patrick Nolan, of No. Ic8 Railroad Avenue, Bridge port, Conn. says: ssTo any one troubled with any form of ir- ritation of the skin, l can with confidence recommend Doan's Ointment. I was for long time bothered with persistent irritation on my body, and none of the many preparations and ointments I used did me any good until I procured Doan's Ointment at a Drug Store and applied it. It was so soothing and healing, and acted so promptly that I felt relief from the first, and improved steadily. It is the best remedy for ir- ritation of the skin there is on the market. -
 Just such emphatic endorse ment can be had right here in Waterbury. Drop into Lakes drug store and ask what his customers report.

Buffalo, Aug 16-FTank l.. Kramer of East Orange won the one mile Pan American circuit championship yester- day. In the first semi-final he disposed of John T. Fisher of Chicago. Then Iyer Lawson beat O. s. Kimble of Louisville, and these two came togeth- CT in the final. Much to the disgust of the big crowd of spectators, they loafed clear to the finish, when Kra- mer sprinted past Lawson and won by a length. The time was ridiculous. In the half mile professional handicap, James B. Bowler of Chicago finished second, but was disqualified for fouling Major Taylor, and second place was giyenhtd the negroa Bowler saw Tay- t loi. coming up on his rightsand jumped his wheel to esright, forcing Taylor to go clear up the bank. Harry Bikes won the hour race for purse of $1 600 and Ray Duer of Buffalo. beat out Ed ward Taylore of France for. second place. Bikes covered thirty-eight miles 1880 yards to sthirty-five miles 6SO yards for sDuer, and thirty miles TO yards for the Erenchniah.L [ WhieAhe did not equal his own record of thirty nine miles 1,045 yards, Bikes estab- lished new records from the second to nineteenth miles, inclusive. Had he maintained that pace he would have made a new record for the hour. He cut 12 2-5 seconds off the record for fifteen miles, making it in 22 minutes 9 1-5 seconds. After the nineteenth mile he fell behind the record, for he was so far ahead of Duer he did not have to push himself. Bowler of Chi cago won the 2:10 class mile race.
 Springfield, Mass, Aug 16- Johnnie Nelson won a twenty y-mile race from Archie McEachern last night, defeating him by a mile and third. The time was 33 minutes 12 4-5 seconds. At the opening it looked as If it would be a close contest. Five yards separated the riders until the third mile, when McEachern's wheel broke and he lost four laps. Nelson rode in fine form and increased his lead to eight laps. In the two mile handicap W. T. Grady of Chicopee suffered a punctured tire, which threw him out. The race was taken by Joseph Fulton of Brooklyn, with Dan Sullivan of New York sec-s ond. The time was 4 minutes 90 sec- onds. In the five mile open, William Dobbins of East Orange, N.

Purple fnists lie on the mountain
 Through the early morning hours. Rising only with the sunshine,
 Or condensing into showers That enlarge the sparkling rivers.
 And refresh the grass and flowers. Dreamy peace rests on the mountain
 Through the sultry summer. days, And the osprey sails and circles
 Der the quiet, lonely ways, Rising like a poets dreaming
 Through the purple mists and haze. Solemn stiffness clothes the mountain Through the peaceful hours of night. And the stars come from the darkness And grow luminous and bright. And they bathe the peaks and valleys With their soft and subdued light. hF H. Sweet, in Farm Journal.

NEW HAVEN.
The citizen., 1901-02-22

According to the Investigations Of VI.
A. Carleton, it appears that at least
six and possibly seven distinct rusts
affect the cereals of the United States,
as follows: Orange leaf rust of wheat.
orange leaf rust of rye, crown rust of
oats, black stem rust of wheat and
barley, black stem rust of rye, black
stem rust of oats and maize rust. OF
these the black stem ruSts of wheat
aud oats are by far the most destruc-
tive, that occurring on maize being of
slight importance.
The leaf rustS are evenly distributed
over the United States wherever their
hosts are grown. The stem ruSts are
most prevalent between the Allegheny
mountains and the ninety-ffth degree
Of west longitude north of the thirty
seventh degree of north latitude ana
in portions of Texas and California.
The leaf rusts and crown ruSts are
proportionately more important in the
Atlantic and southern coast states.
The author believes that the damage
TO wheat and oats from ruSts probably
exceeds that caused by any other fun
gus or insect pest and in some localities
Is greater than that due TO all other
enemies combined.

POTATO GROWING.
Latest Methods In the Famous Aroos-
took District of Maine.

Maine farmers are supposed TO un-
derStand potash culture pretty thor
oughly, and from one of them. through
The New England Homestead. comes
the following account of latest methods
in this line, with special reference to
those used in the famous Aroostook re-
gion
In preparing the ground for potato
cultivation to obtain the best results it
should be well plowed in the fall, and
if manure is to be used this should be
spread in the spring after the ground
is sufficiently dry, If sod land or land
inclined TO be heavy, carefully cross
plow and thoroughly harrow. using if
necessary leveler or fine tooth harrow
in order that the soil may be well pul-
verified. after which planting may be
done. OF course it is we'll understood
that good crops cannot be raised from
poor seed and the wide awake farmer
will plant only strong, vigorous seed
potatoes raised on land other than his
own. Increase in crop will pay the ex-
ira cost of the best seed many times
over. 1t has been clearly demonstrate
ed by the different experiment stations
In cutting seed potatoes that the high
est yield per acre is obtained from sets
of four eyes to the piece.
The plan of using rather heavy land
especially if clayey, for the growing of
potatoes would not ordinarily be a good
one, at least except for dry seasons. 1t
would certainly be hazardous on such
land to manure in drills. as it would be
likely to result in crop badly affected
by rot There are but few varieties of
potatoes raised in New England that
are not very susceptible to disease If
planted on very heavy land with barn
dressing in drills. These include among
others Bliss Triumph, or, as 1t Is some
times called, Stray Beauty, White Bliss
Pride of the South. Rural New York.

An authority on chicory growing
claims that with n fair season, average
yield and price the profit In chicory is
somewhat more than from corn or
wheat. 1t should be sown about corn
planting time. when weather is fairly
settled. Seed is put in with a garden
drill at the rate of two pounds per
acre. 1t should be planted about one
third inch deep in rows II to Is inches
apart. The cultivation should be SINH

men to earn pin money. When frost is

The south has virtual monopoly of

There are now mined in the south lit

PLANT STUDIES.
Adaptnbility of Grasses and Fodder
Plants to New Conditions.

During the last summer the depart.
ment Of agriculture grew n large va
riety Of native and imported grasses
and fodder plants upon the island in
the Potomac river which is Just south
of the city of Washington and locally
known as the Potomac Flats The
soil consists of dredgings from the riv-
er bed and is very rich. 1t is an ideal
place for growing the common annual
fodder plants and has afforded an in
teresting field for studying the new
perennial grasses and clovers, both Of
native varieties and those imported
from foreign countries and grown here
for the first time. The behavior of
number of grasses from our southwest
ern states and territories is especially
worthy Of note.
Curly mesquite from the plains Of
Texas and Arizona made a wonderful

Radishes In Hotheds.

Radishes require less heat than let.
tuce Just as a crop Of young caulifow.
er or cabbage requires less heat than
tomatoes, eggplants or others of a
tropical nature. If started in March,
no strong bottom heat would be re-
quired, and they will succeed well on
second heat such as is in a bed from
which a crop Of lettuce or other vege-
table has just been removed. In this
case the crop will often do better than
when sown in freshly made bed. as
in the latter the ammonia, which new
heating material always throws off
would have tendency to drive the
crop too much to tops s-Rawson.
