ARMY WILL BE REDUCED.
Official Order Coming Within a Few
DAYS.

Washington, Oct. 1S.--An official or
der will be issued fyom the war de-
partment within a few days calling for
the reduction OF the army from its
present strength of $1,000 to $500
the minimum strength provided by
law.
1t will be probably a surprise to the
average citizen to know that there are
now only $1,000 men in the service.
The war department has been grau.
ally reducing the force of the army
for some months, and the coming or
der will only complete this programme
of reduction. 1t is proposed to reduce
the force by disseminating enlistments
until the number fixed upon has been
reached. No officers will be reduced
or mustered out as the result of this
order, the effect being to reduce the
regiments to skeleton formation. The
artillery and cavalry regiments will
be reduced to minimum basis, eX.
Cept around Fort LeavenwOrth, where
the commands will be kept to their
full strength for educational purposes.
The reduction of the army TO min
imum is accepted as proof that tho
war department officials are thorough.
ly satisfied that peace has been estab'
llshed in the Philippines.

WATERING THE TREES.
Moisture should Reach the Roots
from some other Direction Rather
Than the Surface.

Unless the owner of trees under
stands some of the more important
principles of growth, there is danger
that he will, when applying water, do
more harm than good. To apply wa
ter in small quantities through the
droughty season is to cause the roots
in the ground to turn toward the sur
face and grow in that direction. Then
when the watering is discontinued for
any reason the roots dry out much
more quickly than if they had not
been watered at all. When water is
applied to trees it should be in sufii-
cient abundance to soak the ground to
a depth of several feet. The roots
will then not turn up to get moisture.
If il is necessary to apply but little
water at a time it should not be put
on the surface of the ground. Dig a
hole and put large piece of drain
pipe so that the water being thrown
into this pipe will soak deep into the
ground. In case of not having a
drain pipe or piece of tile, hole can
be made sufficiently deep to act as n
reservoir. Let the water soak into
the ground from this hole. The idea
is to get the water to the roots from
some other direction rather than from
the surface of the ground.-Farmers'

THE WALL-EYED PIKE.
1t Is n King on the Table, But In the
Water 1t Is n Neritnble
ChurI.

A king on the table and churl in the
water is the wall-eyed pike, though
why so noble fish in flesh should be
so unworthy of respect in freedom no
man can say, says the New York Sun.
The pike has appetite and sufficient
courage to pursue smaller fishes. 1t
has great strength and is swift. 1t
is formidably armed and safe from at
tack once it has attained good size.
1t inhabits cold, deep water, which
should give it a disposition to resist
capture.
Bass or muskallonge taken from the
same lake or stream will fight until
the anglers wrist aches and his tenn
per is wrecked, but the wall-eye, once
it has surged hungrily at the lure and
the barb has been driven in deeply,
apparently cares nothing about its flu
ture and is willing to go wherever the
line directs. It's utter lack of pug
nacity makes it despised by fishermen,
otherwise it's size. beauty and delicate
ness would make it a prize worthy of
any rod.
The wall-eyed pike, so-called from
its round, staring eyes, set far up in
it's shovel head, will eat when hungry
anything that it can bite and it is gem
orally hungry. 1t is active enough in
pursuit of prey, but is otherwise dis
inclined to exertion.
1t is never seen rushing hither and
yon, or leaping from the water in pure
Joy Of motion. 1t does not travel far,
but selects in youth some part of the
lake and sticks to it summer and win
ter unless driven elsewhere by lack
of food. Travelling means work, and
it dislikes to move.
For this reason pike which has
been hooked and not landed, or has
been merely grazed by the barb, may
generally be taken in the same place
at the same time on the day after. II
! 1t has been hooked and not landed
the escape is due generally to some
accident. not to any effort of its own
The line may become entangled, or cut
! on a rock, or the hook hold may be
slight.
| The fish has one Characteristic not
shared by any other: Often when il
is struck and the angler reels in he
will find the line come easily and slack
! ly, as if there were nothing on it. The
pike ini reality is swimming toward
| him as If anxious to surrender and
have done with the matter.
1t may make slight furry when
within yard Of the boat. but most
often it will only half turn, putting
| just a little of its weight on the line,
then submit to being lifted by the
dipnet with scarce a waggle OF its
broad tail. Its long face has sort

COULDN'T STRAIGHTEN UP.

Breed, Wis, June 16th.-Charles F.
Peterson, of this place, Justice of the
Peace for Oconto County, tells the fol-
lowing story:
"For years had an aching pain in
my back which troubled me very much,
especially in the morning.
81 was almost unable to straighten
my back and the pain was unbearable.
81 did not know what it was, but
seeing an advertisement of Dodd's Kid
ney Pills concluded to try box.
81 can only say that that one box
alone has done me more good than
anything else ever did.
81 feel as well now as ever was.
81 have recommended Dodd's Kidney
Pills to several others who are using
them with good results"
Mr.. Peterson is highly respected
man and one who would not so posi-
lively make statement unless it was
absolutely true.

nuttermilk for the Pigs.

Buttermilk should not be given in
large quantities to a SOW that is nurs-
ingpigs, says Theodore Lewis, in Amer
lean Swineherd. It may so affect her
milk by causing it to curdle premature
ly in the stomachs' of the young pigs
as to cause the death of the latter. II
fed at all, the quantity should not ex-
coed 40 pounds to barrel of swill. II
the buttermilk has been obtained from
a creamery and has become an acid be-
fore it can be fed, better avoid feeding
Il. Buttermilk as obtained from cream
cries, even though fed to shoats or pige,
when fed single and alone, will, as a
rule, cause the evil results above al
luded to. And yet there is no food that
may be fed to such great advantage in
connection with other food as the by
product of the dairy.
The L'Anse sentinel. (L'Anse, L.S., Mich.) 18??-current, 1902-06-21

of vacuous grin, as If to say that 1T
would as soon be in the boat as in the
water and had no choice at all between
baking and frying.
OF resistance, as the trout or bass
or SALOON understands it, the pike
knows nothing. Sometimes its temper
is bitterly aroused by the sting of the
hook and drag of the line and then
it goes to the bottom and lies there
sulkily. 1t pulls its head down as often
as it is lifted up and opposes it's dead
heft to the reel.
Often it may be seen lying there
with its fins spread out and its fiukes
motionless. its great lidless eyes star
ing upward through the clear water,
just doing nothing at all. At such
times, after the angler has tried to
dislodge it by tightening 1.-THE line and
giving it the butt and so forth, he will
reach into his pocket, take out his
knife and tap the rod sharply with it.
This sends jar down the line ex-
tremely disagreeable to the fish, and
il will come up.
The wall-eye may weigh two pounds
or 10, but its cowardice and laziness
are the same at all ages. Anglers when
they take it, although they realize
that its capture is of no credit, do not
throw il back for two reasons: First,
they do not want it to bother them, or
brother angler, again, and, second,
it is mighty good to eat, being in fla
vor and firmness superior to any other
large freshwater fish.

The Effects of Artillery.

1t has long been commonplace
that the effects of artillery are mainly
moral" butO for all that the intro
duction of the new explosive-lydoite,
especially-and of quick-iring guns
had insensibly revived the belief in the
great material value of artillery. 1t
would be gratuitous to say that ar
tiIlery has had great downfall in
general estimation-among those
who have always taken sane view
of it's uses we do not think it has
but we may fairly say that relative
ly to artillery the rifle has gained
in reputation. We know now that
lyddite. although it may make short
work of the mahdi's tomb, is of little
use against earthworks, especially
when it falls on very soft ground, and
that the stories of men whose senses
left them and whose teeth shook in
their heads because they happened
to be within quarter of mile of an
explosion of lyddite were mere
moonshine.-London Spectator.
