 The blow had such force that 1t lifted Choynski clear of his feet and he went down on the top of his head.

LEPROSY IN AMERICA
ONE CASE IN THE STATE OF
 ALABAMA
Secretary of the Treasury Sent to the Senate Report of Commission of the Marine Hospital
 Service.

u'~ahington. March 2I-The Secretary of the Treasury today sent to the senate the report of a commission of medical officers of the Marine Hospital Service appointed to investigate the origin and prevalence of leprosy in the United States. The report shows 27S cases of leprosy In the United States. distributed by States AS follows: Alabama, l; California 2i; Florida, "A; Georgia, |; Illinois. 5; Iowa, 1: Louisiana, l55; Maryland, 1; Massa- chusetts, 2; Minnesota. 20; Mississippi. D; Missouri. 5; Montana, 1; Nevada, l; New York. [: North Dakota. 16; Oregon, l; Pennsylvania. 1: South Dakota. l; Texas, 8; Wisconsin, 3.
 Of the total number, 176 are males and 102 ferales. 145 American born, l2o for eign born and the remainder uncertain.
 1t Is stated that 1SS of the cases were contracted in the United States. but the opinion Is expressed by the commission that this number Is. too large and that some of these cases were brought rom abroad.
 The commission says that leprosy is conveyed from one person to another in the United States, such conveyance be- ing most markedly noticeable In the States of the Southern coast; that large majority of the cases in the United States (33 per cenD are at large; that at present only severty-two of the cases are isolated and provided for by the States or cities in which they are located, and that many of those now at large. if not all, would be willing to be cared for by the public if proper lepropsaria existed for their treatment and comfort.
 The commission recommends the estab- iishInent of a retreat for lepers and ex- presses the opinion that 1t should be in the arid Southwest or in similar re- zion further north. or on an island in the Gulf of Mexico or on the Pacific coast.
 Of the 155 cases reported from Louis- lana. 101 are in New Orleans County. and 37 in the leper home at Iberville or the seven cases in New York four are in Kings County md three in New York County. The compnission express the opinion that the figures given do not rep resent the total number of leDers in the country. because they say that the loath- some character of the disease causes per- sons affected So conceal it as long as pos sible. They also express the opinion that 1t is most frequently contracted by in- haling dust where lepers have been To-

Selection of Seed and the Time for
 Sowing.

The heat of summers sun Is so great and long continued in many sections of the South most of the grasses so pop ular in the northern portions of the country are destroyed, and their culti- vation. except in shaded yards, becomes almost impossible. The summer months are also go often deflcient in rainfall, it Is important that provision should be made for the frequent watering of the lawn. if a green. vigorous condition is to be preserved For these reasons it be- comes necessary to, select those grasses which will hest stand the heat of the Southern sun. and will also live through the dry seasons. Among the number of the best lawn grasses suited to Ala bama soils and climate may be men toned the following. Only five species and one variety are given. because, in the opinion of the author. these are sui ficient for general demands. The list will produce lawns of even texture. uni. form sward and permanency.
 Rrmua Grass 'Cynodon dactylon. Pers).-This is purely a Southern grass in its habits and adaptability. II IS, however. an introduced species. and does not mature it's seeds except in the ex- treme South. It thrives best in the sum- and in a rich soil will grow rapidly, re- sulting in a beautiful. green sward. The growth is bv underground stems an after once obtaining hold in the land 1t will require but little care and atten- tion. except the occasional fertilizing to keep the soil in a healthy condition for growth, and the regular sprnklng when the dryness of the atmosphere demands the application of water.
 Bermuda grass is propagated by cut. ting into short pieces the underground stems and sowing them oyer the we'll prepared soil and narrowing in; or by breaking up the turfs into small punches and dropping them into holes made by means of hoe. and covering them with earth Where there is a large supply of the grass available sodding may be resorted to. and this will insure a com pleted lawn in a much shorter period of time than secured by either one of the other methods. After the grass has been growing for some time. and weeds and other foreign. undesirable plants begin to show themselves hand wedding must be resorted to. This will be quite laborious at first, but the beautiful and regular lawn resulting will more than repay the time and attention expended in eradicat- ing the weeds.
 St Lucie Grass-This is a variety of Bermuda and is very popular in many nortions of Florida. A small plot has been cultivated for two years in the be- tanic garden of the Alabama Experiment Station, and 1t is proving to be an e&- ceIlent grass for this latitude. It ts not eo tenacious in its hold on tse soil as in the ease with the Bermuda. and it can therefore be more easily eradicated if it

The Advertisers prize competition for the best improved front or back yard was instituted ten days ago. The object was to stimulate interest in a movement to make Montgomery beautiful city through individual effort.
 The results are already apparent Many entries have been made Letters com mending the enterprise have began to reach The Advertiser.
 The spirit of improvement has been manifest in every part of the city. Yards that have hitherto been neglected from one years end to another are receiving the same thorough spring cleaning as the houses. The outlines of flower beds are seen in front wards and back yards which before were never even sown in grass. Nor is this all. Since the inau- tify front and back yards there has been less reports received at police headquer ters of thefts of. flowers than for the past several years Not complaint has been filed since one week ago today
 The Advertiser pronQses to break up this practice in Montgomery by offering a standing reward Of $l0 for the arrest stealing plants or flowers from yards. Every person should he encouraged to heautify his yard and to be a committee of one to help stop such depredations and trespassing.
 Let every householder become active at once and make Montgomery what it just ly deserves to be- the most beautiful city in America. The good work has only begun: it will continue and be more zeal ously pursued as the spring advances.
 The following instructions on grasses vas obtained from the Alabama Agricul- .ural Department and will be of interest 10 amateur gardeners.
