WOMEN AT PAN-AMTRICaN.

One of the many interesting features
of the Pan-American Exposition, at
Buffalo, is an extensive exhibition Of
women's manufactures. The general
public little realize the extent and i'm
portance of this class of industries. 1t
has been made apparent to the Board
of Women Managers of the exposition,
however, by the numerous applications
from prospective exhibitors. One wom-
an makes rugs and has built up quite
an industry. She keeps a large num-
Der of wives and daughters Of New
England farmers busy with her work.
Another manufactures artistic jewel
settings, another exquisite things in
pottery another carved and decorative
leather goods, etc. IL fact, the wom-
ems manufactures are so many that
It would require much space to enumer-
ate them all. The committee on ap-
pled arts of the Board of Women
Managers has arranged to establish in

CASE OF MIND CUEL.
Imaginary Trouble Removed by an Ex'
ercise of the Imagination.

Imaginary Trouble Removed by 9n EN-
ercise of the Imagination.
Nothing is stranger than the way in
which the body and mind may become
dominated by what is called fixed
Idea, says southern physician. One
very curious case came under my OBJ
servation. A 12-year-old boy had
slight attack of inflammatory rheuma-
tlsm, and upon recovery some months
later, found himself unable to straight
en- MS right arm. 1t was bent in such
posltlon that the back of the hand al
most touched the shoulder. and while
there was no particular soreness about
1t the boy simply insisted that he could
not move the elbow and hold the limb
straight. l saw no reason why there
should be any such result from his
slight rheumatic attack, and was per-
suaded from the outset that the boy,
while no doubt perfectly honest, was
simply victim of self-deception. Dur
ing his illness he had probably found
the arm more comfortable when bent,
and gradually his mind had become
dominated by the fixed idea that it was
impossible for him to extend it. In
such cases it is useless to argue with
the patient, but frequently some lucky
accident will dissipate the illusion.
One day I dropped in to see the boy,
and while l. was in the house an old
negro auntie remarked in his hearing
that somebody done put a charm on
dat arm.' and that she knew how to
take it off," How would you do it,"
L replied. I'D use red charm stone I
have at home" she said; Il rub it On
his shoulder and dat arm straighten
out shore!" I could see the boy was
deeply impressed, and 1 gave the old
woman quarter and told her to be
around with the charm stone the next
afternoon. 1 was on hand myself be-
fore the appointed hour, and told the
child, with a great show of telling him
in confidence, that l rather expected
that the charm was going to cure him.
The magic stone turned out to be a
piece of common red flint, but after
the old aunty had mumbled several in
carnations, rubbed his shoulder vigor-
ously and worked him into state Of
high excitement, I took his wrist and
suddenly pulled the limb straight.
''Why, she's done it, sure enough" l
shouted, working the elbow vigorously
before he had time to object; ''try it
yourself. Your arm is as good as
ever" He moved it, cautiously at first,
and then more freely, and finally de-
clared he was all right. The last time
saw him he was perfectly sound 1t
was merely a case of mind cure-that
was all. AS the trouble was imaginary
in the first place, a little imagination
was needed to remove it. The old dar-
ky, by the way, got all the credit, and
she built up a considerable clientele

Identification Tags for Soldiers.

Chaplain Pierce of the army has rec
commended that the secretary OF war
issue to all officers and enlisted
men a tag made of aluminium bearing
the name, rank and regiment of the
wearer, and that the regulations be-
amended so as to compel them to- be
worn constantly about the neck. The
object is to furnish means for the iden-
tification of the dead and wounded,
particularly in the Philippines, where
the guerillas are in the habit OF mutt
lating the faces of their enemies and
the tropical heat causes rapid mortlfl-
cation, which changes the features so
that they caAnot be recognized. Chap
lain Pierce has had much to do with
the burial of soldiers who have been
killed in the Philippines and in ship
ming their remains home, and his ex-
perience teaches him that some means
of Identification is absolutely neces-
sary.
Measures of this kind are used In
the other armies, and in Japan every
pupils in the public schools is required
to wear tag bearing his name and ad-
dress, which is found to be most use
full means of Identification and restor-
ing lost children.

Oldest Republic III Existence.

The oldest republic in existence, and
perhaps the smallest, is Andorra, lying
high up among. the Pyrenees noun
and Spain on the south. Eleven hum
dred years ago the great emperor,
Charlemagne, established this govern
ment by giving to a brave handful of
mountaineers, Visigoths, a charter for
the Valley of Andorra in return for
protection given his army. For 1,100
years, through all the bloody wars that
in that time have shaken Europe, the
people of Andorra have remained neu-
trial. have remained poor, but unharm-
ed and happy. Even Napoleon refused
to interfere in the affairs of what he
termed this political curiosity" The
population for centuries has not in
creased, numbering only 5000. The
supreme authority descends from ia
ther to son, but the laws are made by
legislative body consisting of six
councilmen. One of the curiosities of
Andorra is massive chest built into
the wall of the council hall. This chest
has six locks, and each Of the six coun-
men has key, and the chest cannot
be opend unless all the six are pres
ent. Even the people Of Andorra do
not know what is in the box, but they
assert that it contains Charlema gne's
original charter, written upon sheets
of lead In Andorra when a man and
woman marry the husband takes the
wife's name.

A Colony of White Indians.

In the heart of Peru there is COL
ony of white Indians, the first white
people of that race known. They lead
a nomad life, wandering in small bands
over the vast solitary plains and ap-
parently making no effort to better
their condition. To this lack of en-
ergy, as we'll as to the numerous wars
which have been waged against them
by adjacent tribes, must be ascribed
the fact that they are not today nearly
as numerous as they were quarter of
a century ago, and if their number con-
tinues to decrease at the present rate
the outlook is that the tribe will soon
become extinct.

Some Clover Facts.

Cloyers are among our most va1u-
able forage plants, but they will not
withstand the extremes of drouth and
heat that prevail over large sections
of the west every year and in other
sections of the same region some
years. Being soil renovators they can
be grown in rotation with other crops
to advantage. On account of the large
amount of protein they contain they
have a high feeding value. There are
several varieties of cfovers grown In
this country, among which are the fol-
lowing:
Red clover (Trifolfum pratense).-
This is the most common variety, and
is grown successfully in the north
wherever the supply of moisture Is suf-
ficient In dry sections it becomes un-
certain. Some call it perennial, out
It is scarcely more than biennial, IT'S
perennial character being often as
sumed by new plants springing up
from seeds dropped by the plants each
year. It makes good hay, but is un-
suited for permanent pasture. When
it is desired to use it for pasture, as
a single plant, it is necessary to TO
tate, keeping the clover pasture IN one
place for not more than two years.
Mammoth clover (trifolium medlum)
resembles red clover, but has no
spots on the leaves. 1t is adapted to
more moist land than is red clover
and under favorable conditions will
give a larger yield.
Alsike clover is perennial clover
whose appearance suggests hybrid
between red and white clover, but 1t Is
not hybrid. 1t will thrive on soil too
wet for red clover. but on ordinary
soil is probably not to be so highly
recommended. A writer says that 1t
should be sown with grasses to get
the best results.
White clover (trifolium repens) is a
low-growing perennial, spreading by
creeping stems. The flowers are white,
the older ones more or less purplish
tinged. It is of little value for hay
owing to its small growth, but is very
useful for identifying lawns, and has
some value as a pasture plant. Some
farmers SOW white clover seed with
bluegrass and consider it an assist
ant to the bluegrass pasture. 1t stands
drouth fairly we'll, and will grow on
soil too poor to give good yields OF

YOUTH IN CRIME.
AN AMATEUR kIDNAPER THE
LATEST FORM.
Threatening Letters Have Got Chester
A. LYLE Into Trouble-Hs Offense No
Doubt Grew Out OF Reading Accounts
OF Recent kidnapping Operations.
utica On, " Letter.)

| The criminal folly of a boy who
ought to have known better and whose
threats would probably never have
been carried out, has recently agitated
several Utica families, engaged the
time and skill of police and detectives
and resulted in his being placed in Jail,
with the probability of a term of i'm
prisonment staring him in the face.
The boy is Chester Arthur Lyle, II
years of age, son of an honest, indus
'ious and intelligent widow. He was
arrested on the charge of using the
United States mails for blackmailing
purposes and is now held under $2,5OO
bail to await the action of the grand
jury. His offense, no doubt grew out
of reading accounts of kidnapping cases
so numerous throughout the country
recently. 1t consisted of writing five
letters at various times to the families
of ex-Mayor Charles A. Doolittle and
William T. and Thomas F. Baker, of
the Saturday Globe, demanding that
sums of money be deposited at desig-
mated places on Washington street,
near the boys home and where, watch
ing from his bedroom window, he
could see if his demands We're complied
with. In the event of the parties fail
ing to do this, there were threats that
Julia, daughter of Mr.. Doolittle, would
have .vitriol thrown into her face, his
son, Ebenezer, would be kidnapped and
killed. children of the Baker brothers
were to be burned. If the police were
communicated with concerning the
matter, death was to be the portion of
the recipients of the letters.
Nevertheless the matter was placed
in the hands of the police, and coming
to the knowledge of the government,
Pinkerton detectives were sent here to
investigate. The mail was watched for
handwriting similar to that of the
threatening letters and in this manner

Cultivating the Orchard.

Fl. L. Dean of Illinois says: 1 con-
slider good and thorough culture of the
utmost Importance in growing fruits
successfully. First getting your
ground in the best possible condition
before setting out your plants or vines
and then frequently stirring and
loosening the ground during the grow
ing season. Now this is not only nee
essary during the growing season be-
fore your trees and vines come into
bearing but especially is it true that
during their fruiting the ground must
be frequently stirred and kept pulyer-
lied, in order to have the best results
when gathering your fruits BY thus
keeping your ground in loose, pill
able condition you counteract, in
measure the effect of drouths and en-
able your fruit to keep on growing and
to some extent prevent their dropping.
Another condition also noticed, be-
tween orchards cultivated and those
not cultivated the last few years, and
one think the fruit grower will fully
appreciate is this; the orchards that
have been down to grass for number
of years and have been bearing fairly
good crops of fruit as their owners
say, without any cultivation, are cum
ming down noticeably while those
which have been thoroughly cultivated
are improving every year. This is
gratifying to the orchardist and look
ing at his orchard he knows he has
been we'll repaid for all work put OH
1t. The fruit grower must watch his
trees and ought to be able to tell
whether his trees or vines are thriv-
ing as we'll as the stock man who goes
around amongst his stock, can tell how
his stock is growing. If your trees
are not doing as we'll as you think
they ought you can improve their con-
dition by judicious fertilizing, and es-
pecially will it do wonders on young
trees.

Treat Oats for Smut.

A communication from the Illinois
Experiment Station says that the av-
erage per cent of smut in Illinois oat
fields as determined by several care
full counts in over sixty counties Of
the state last year, was IA per cent.
Illinois produces the largest amount
of oats of any state in the union or
about 164, 100000 bushels for 1900. Max
ing liberal allowances for variation
smut the loss to the farmers of our
state from smut was not far from
$5,O0O,0O0 or about $45 for every forty
acre oat field. This loss can be en-
tirely prevented at very slight ex-
pense by the hot water or formalin
treatment of the seed.
Hot Water Treatment.-Thea appar-
atus needed for this treatment consists
OF an ordinary scalding kettle or any
arrangement for heating water, a bar
rel, several gunny sacks and an ac-
curate thermometer.
The kettle should be partly filed
with 35 to 60 gallons of water and
heated until the temperature of the
water reaches 1877 degrees F. The
gunny sacks should be about half filled
with one bushel of seed oats after they
nave been famed and cleaned. Dip
the sack of oats into the hot water,
taking care to keep the sack complete
ly under water and stirring it gently
to keep the water circulating through
every part of the sack. Treat for i've
minutes at from between 1872 and 1877
degrees f. After treating dip imme-
diately into the barrel filled with cold
water. This will cool the oats off
quickly and prevent over heating in
the center of the sack.
About two pecks by measure of the
wet oats should be added to the
amount desired to be sowed per acre,
to make up for the swollen seed. The
wet oats cannot be dried and should
be sown Immediately after treating, by
hand or with q force seed drill. The
treating process quickens termination
and makes more vigorous plant, thus
increasing the yield independent of the
destruction of the smut. 1t. is advis-
able to treat part of the seed this
year, SOW it apart from the general
crop, thresh separately and save this
seed for the general seeding the fol-
lowing year. The treatment need not
be repeated oftener than once in three
years at most.
