Mr.. Norman Hapgoods new book on
THE Stage in America" 1S9I-l9)o will
treat those aspects of the acted drama
which have been most important in Amer
lea during the last few years. Plays which
are Of ephemeral interest, however great
their temporary vogue, are, in the main,
omitted. Although there are chapters
dealing with stage humor, the trend of the
book is serious, and 1t is intended to have
a permanent value as a picture of one
period of the American drama. or rather,
the American stage, for it takes up the
best plays to be seen here, whether they
are made at home or abroad, and whether
they are performed in English, German,
French or Yiddish As far as the actors
come in, they are treated as artists and
not in the gOssiping vein.

AN .euNHoLY ALLIANCE

IT view of the intention of Con
gresham Babcock to force his Tariff
repeal bill through the Committee on
Ways and Means by the aid of the
Democratic minority of that commit
tee and to work for its passage the
Kansas City journal says
s.It may be that under existing ar
rangements this is possible, for there
are ten Republicans and seven Demo-
Gratis on the committee. A change OF
two votes, which is one in addition to
his own would enable the Democrats
ON the committee to report the bill
Spea ker Henderson will be reelected
speaker and there will be very few
changes either in committee or en-
pIoyes but the speaker should reduce
mittee on Ways and Means The Dem
ocrats cannot object to this because
they increased the Democratic mem
bership of the committees the last
time they had control of the House
If this committee had twelve Repub-
Hcans and five democrats it would be
more difficult to form an unhOly ALI
ance.'7
There is a much simpler and more
direct way to prevent an <sunholy ALI
ance'' between the Democratic Free
Traders and wavering Republicans of
the Ways and Means Committee. That
is for the speaker OF the Fifty-seventh
house to reconstruct that committee
safe Republican lines by dropping
off the waverers and filling their
places with positive men. The ma
jority side of the Ways and Means
Committee is no place for waverers-

JoILYINe THE FARMERS.

The Louisville Courier-JournaI says
that the Protective Tariff has been
used to jolly the farmer. That is
exactly where the Courier-JournaI is
right. If the farmers of this country
have ever had occasion to feel jolly, it
is now, when, under Ding1ey law Pro-
lection, money has come rolling in to
pay off mortgages, to buy new equip
ment, including the latest and most
improved brands of agricultural ma
chinery, and to roll up the account at
the savings bank. Yes the farmers OF
the country. as a general thing, feel
pretty jolly just now, and it is the
Protective Tariff which is responsible
for it. There is doubt about that.
And the best of it is that the farmers
are not the only people who are feel
ing jolly, but the jolly effects of Pro-
lection prosperity have been felt by
people in all walks of life everywhere
throughout the country As pro-
Queer of jo1lity the Protective Tariff
has few, If any, equals, and we are
glad to see that the louisville Cour-
ier-Journal is at last beginning to rec
ognize the fact.

The Honorable Alva Merrill of Chill

over the United States.
On the train returning home from
Springfield one day last winter Were
the Honorable Mr.. Merrill and sew
era1 other members. After a time
one of them said:
Merrill, what time do you get to
Chillicothe?"
This attracted the attention of an
old man who had been apparently
awaiting some Identification of Mr.
Merrill and as soon as he heard the
name he rushed up to his seat and
extending his hand said:
You are Alva Merrill and yo;l
saved my life. I was most dead with
Lumbago and in an advertisement |
saw your picture and your recommen
dation of Dodd's Kidney Pills. L knew
your father. and knew his son would
not lie, and therefore I decided to try
the Pills.
Il am satisfied that DOdd'S Kidney
Pills and nothing else have saved my
life and I have hsen waiting this on
portunity to thank. you personally, fo~
had I not seen your commentator
I might never have been led to use
this remedy, but, thanks to God
through your honest name and the
honest medicine which you SO heart
lily recommended I am still alive
81 have been watching you since
you got on the train at Springfield and
thought 1 recognized your face as the
one I had seen in the advertisement
and soon as this gentleman called
you by name, I knew you were the

can be cultivated among the youns
trees. but after that the soil should
be left alone.
BY properly planting crops and
turning them under when the orchard
is very young we store up fertility for
future use that will pay. The young
trees may not be able to absorb and
use up all the fertility stored there
by an annual crop of COW pease or
clover; but in time the roots OF the
trees will spread and flnd this stored
up energy. Thus some orchards get
a splendid start in this way, and con-
tinue to develop through long years of
after neglect. 1t is because the soil
was made so rich by early cultivation
that it takes years to use 1t all up. II
a very little cultivation is given to
such an old orchard the life of the
trees will be greatly prolonged.
AS q rule, we do not pay sufficient
attention to the cultivation Of our or

instances in merely adding a little

1t is only by enriching all the lanc

Among the early spring arrivals at
the North none are more welcome
than the phoebe. Though naturally
building its nest under an overhang-
ing cliff of rock or earth, or IN the
mouth of a cave, its preference for
the vicinity of farm buildings Is SO
marked that in the more thickly set
tied parts of the country the bird Is
seldom seen at any great distance
from a farmhouse, except where
bridge spans some stream. anording
a secure spot for a nest. Its confiding
disposition has rendered 1t great IA

disturbed. 1t breeds throughout the
United States east Of the Great Plains
and winters from the South Atlanuc

LIGHT in a Barn.

Daylight has been recommended as
the best light for barn purposes, and
vet there are times when even the
farmer who seeks to accomplish farm
work during the hours when the sun
is his lantern, must needs go to the
barn with an artificial light. A farm
er who was disposed to think that
stock would rest in peace until day
light and would retire with the sun,
still found it necessary to provide a
safe means of lighting the barn ana
devised the following plan: He
stretched a stout wire across the sta
BILE at right angles to the stalls. BE-
fore fastening the wire he put on a
ring. to which he attached a harness
clasp. Now he was ready to hang his
lantern and run it to whatever por-
tion of the barn he desired. The pre-
caution must be taken to have the
wire sufficiently high to be out OF the
way of stock and of any ones head
This plan avoids any accident frop

safe position when one is rushed ol

Don't Cultivate Too Deep.

Experiments at several experiment
stations have shown that too deep
cultivation Is injurious to corn. The
first cultivation should be rather
deep, but during subsequent workings
the ground should be stirred as III
tie as possible. Simply pulverize the
crust and kill the weeds. The roots
of the corn extend laterally but a
few inches beneath the surface, ana
when the cultivator shovels expose
or tear through them, injury is done
the plant. The object of cultivation
should always be kept in view: TO
establish and maintain a dust or soil
mulch and to kill the weeds tnat
would rob the corn plants OF food ana
moisture.

After thoroughly preparing the
ground, level. off the bed. Take
board six inches wide. half an incn
thick and half as long as the bed Is
wide. Bevel one side to sharp edge.
Insert the beveled edge in the bed at
intervals of three or four inches, one
inch deep, forming rows across the
bed. Sow seed by hand in rows one
inch apart. To cover the seed draw
the board across the rows. Should
the ground be very dry at the time OF
sowing, dampen it before inserting
the board. After the seed is planted,
firm the soil by rolling. Ginseng
