Why the Farm Garden Pnya.

Farmers do not always devote their
labor in the best direction. 4 garden
may be expensive if not carefully at
tended to, as the weeds soon take pos
session. The receipts from a garden
may also be less than the cost of the
product, but the season, kind of crops
grown and rainfall affect the results.
There is one point in favor of a gar
den, however, which cannot be disre-
garded, which is that the farmer can
never buy as good fruits and vegeta-
bles as he can grow. No vegetables
shipped to the farm can possibly be as
fresh as those taken fromthe garden
and used immediately.

Selection Of Fruit Trees.

Only experienced persons are capa-
BILE of selecting varieties of fruit trees.
Novices should always seek advice.
The soil, climate and demand of the
market are to be considered. Varieties
that may be suitable for one locality
may be almost worthless in another,
and it is the lack of knowledge in Sc
lecting varieties that causes some fail
'ures. Selection is a very important
matter, for when tree is planted and
the grower waits several years for his
crop it is then too late to rectify mis-
takes except at q great loss. =3-s

Two Excellent Strawberries.

. The old Wilson variety of straw
berry was one of the best for shipping
and the plant is hardy. It's strongest
rival in shipping qualities is the Allan
tic, variety that never became popu-
lar on account of throwing out but
few runners. The Atlantic, however,
usually gave better crops the second
year of picking than the first. which
cannot be said Of but few other kinds.

Olive Oil from Peanut..

American peanut crops average
about 100000 bushels a year, and "a
pounds of the nuts make q bushel.
About $10,oo0,0oo worth of peanuts

natural form or in candy. Vast guam
titles OF peanuts are shipped each year
to Great Britain. and the continent
from both Africa and Asia, where they
are converted into 'pure Lucca olive

Fabricated
The supreme court, two judges dissent
ing, thus expressed it's disapproval Of
this language: Ef
''When judge tells jury that al

the part of the defendant for the com
mission of the offense charged, there
may. nevertheless. have been motive
undiscovered, and that circumstantial
evidence Ghe evidence relied on to con-

upon the force and effect of. the testi-
mony and intimates hissview of it's sufti-
ciency.".
In his dissenting opinion, Judge Ga
rouette. with whom Judge Mcfarland
agreed, commented on the fact that SINH
lar instructions had, been given in Grim
inal trials for many Years, and notably
in the Durant case. in which Judge Muir
ply employed this identical language.
The logical effect of this decision is a
judicial declaration that Durant and
many other accused murderers in Cali
fornia have been judicially murdered,
and scores of defendants wrongfully sent
to the penitentiary.
But such is law.

Food and DRINK
SOME PER CAPITA FACTS.
Changes in Our National Diet

SOME PER CAPITA FACTS.
Interesting light is thrown on our IA
t1onal tendencies in diet by the figures
OF per capita consumption given in the
Tor 1900, just issued.
Taking the twenty-year period from
1850 to 1900, many remarkable changes
have taken place in the eating and drink
ing of the American people, We were
eating s.. 35 bushels of wheat and wheat
flour and 2SS8 bushels of corn and corn
meal per head in 1880. Last year We
ate only 4.74 bushels per head of wheat
and wheat flour and only "a "A bushels OF
corn and cornmeal. Thus in twenty
years our annual consumption of cereals
las been reduced by sos bushels per
head
Within the same two decades our year
" consumption of sugar has increased
from 42.9 pounds to 6o.2 pounds per capi-
crease in our use OF cereal foods. Evil
IDENTITY we are tending as a nation to
make sugar rather than bread our staff
of life. Whether at the same time we
are not also increasing our yearly meat
bills is point on which the government
statistics are silent.
In the matter of our liquid refreshments
the most striking change since 1880 has
been in the per capita annual consumption
of malt liquors, which has very nearly
doubled. Meantime our yearly allow
ance of distilled spirits is just exactly
the same now as twenty years agoI.27
gallons per head. Our consumption of
wine decreased rs per cent in the same
period But we called for 103 pounds
more coffee and two-fifths of pound
less tea per head in 1900 than we did in
1880.
Our total recorded consumption of bev-
erages, alcoholic and non-alcoholic, IS
about s gallons per capita greater now
than twenty years ago, which compels
the acknowledgements the immense
concurrent increase in the use of min
erat and artificial waters-that plain wa
ter from the faucet is the most unpopular
LIQUID of all.

legal Points.
CONFUSION or OPINIONS.

The law is becoming a very cumber
some thing. A judge in New York &c
cides point one way, and then another
Judge in another state decides the same
point, directly opposite to that of his
New York colleague This accounts for
the long reference lists of opposing opin-
ions appearing in the arguments OF
plaintiffs and defendants in supreme court
briefs. There is scarcely position how
ever absurd, that a decision from some
court cannot be found in support of 1t.
The largest law publishing concern in
the United States is located in st. Paul,
and a large force of men work day and
night putting into print the varying opin-
ions OF the numerous judges of the
United States.
A new point was raised in San Fran
cisco court few days ago.
Mrs Botkin, the California woman
who murdered a woman in Delaware by
sending her a box of poisoned candy,
has been granted a new trial because
of this language used in his charge to
the jury, by Judge Carol Cook:
Direct proof is entitled to great weight
when the witnesses are intelligent, hon
est and had good opportunity to know
the facts of which they testify; while,
on the other hand, this direct proof may
be rendered worthless by mistake, in
terest or the perjury Of the witness.

THE STATUE OF LIBERTY.

1t will be remembered that Bartholdi
statue, now standing in New York har-
Dor, was in this country for some time,
but there was such little interest in it
that the New York legislature, congress,
nor rich philantrophic patriots bother
ed themselves about putting it up. Final
ly New York newspaper started a
subscription, and in little while the
money was forthcoming. Among the
plans to get funds was an art loan eXhi-
bition. AT this an autograph album con-
tanning letters from famous people was

Though proudly the victor comes

And echoing rolls of drums.
Still truth proclaims this motto

No question is ever settled
Until it is settled right.
Though the heel of the strong opnressor

Ana the voices of fame with one ac-

The driver for a moment was too

ne raised his whip again to strike the
horses

he stepped nearer. I am a member OF

horses any more I'll certainly have you
arrested

IN menacing manner shouted amid a
