AND GARDEN.

The missing trees in a young orchard
should be replaced with thrifty young
trees Of choice varieties.
Wire Is better than wood Of any kind
for a grape trellis. The tendrils get
hold Of wire more readily.
1t takes plenty of sunlight to grow
and ripen the choicest apples. pears,
peaches, plums and cherries.
Burn all old rubbish, pr%unings, ETC.,
about the garden. orchard and small
fruit patch. They harbor vermin.
When the trees are growing in tops
80 much as to exclude the sun, they
should be cut out SO as to give a good
circulation Of air.
One Of the very best implements to
use in cultivating the orchard is the
disk harrow. It can be run close to
the trees with very little risk of injury.

odd Place For a Serpent.

In Alsace recently a f%our-year-old
child, the daughter of u workingman,
became very i'll MI day, but speedily
recovered, and for some days after
ward dismayed her parents by eating
a good deal more than a child of that
age is wont to eat.
Instead, however, of growing fatter,
the girl grew thinner. and doctors who
We're summoned to attend her were un-
able to explain why the food did her
no good. Finally the riddle was solved,
for a serpent about twenty inches in
length issued one morning from the
child's mouth.
The serpent was Killed and sent to
the University of strassburg, and since
then the little one has enjoyed excel
lent health. 1t is supposed that the
child swallowed the serpent while
drinking some impure water.

TROPHIES HELD FOR DUTY
West Point May Be the Loser as Re-

All the articles were intended as a gift
to the museum of the United States Mill

never reach their destination if the Treas
ury Department tries to exact duties from
the officers of the regiment
Assistant Surveyor of the Port ST. John
says he cannot pass the articles without
consulting higher authority, and there the
matter rests.
Principal among the articles contained in
the trunks are two religious images and
the robes in which they We're draped One
or these is an ebony figure of the Savior
known in southern Luzon as 1.-The black
Christ
These images were seized by the Sth In
fantry at the headquarters of a native re-
hglous sect in the town of PagSangan.
province of Laguna, while the regiment was
operating in that district. The religious
sect was known the Caldrun, and the
images are said to have been used by the
insurgent leaders to exact war revenue s
from the people OF the district by imposing
on their credulity. A Filipino ventriloGuist,
1t is said, would apparently cause the
give their money so the Americans might
be driven from the island. The carvings
appear to have been made within the last
two or three years.

TONS OF CHECKS STORED.
Commissioner Yerkes Compelled to
Rent Outside Quarters.

Commissioner Yerkes of the internal rev.
enue bureau has been compelled to rent
quarters outside of the Treasury Depart
ment into which to receive and store checks
and drafts bearing imprinted stamps, now
being sent in for redemption under the pro-
visions of the repeal of the war revenue
act. The original act providing for the re-
demption of these imprinted stamps limited
the time within which they could be pre-
sented for redemption to two years from
the time they were purchased from the
government. Subsequently that time was
extended to January /. 1904. Almost i'm
mediately after the act was passed banks
and large business houses began sending in
their surplus stocks, and in a short time
the quantity had reached the point where
the weight threatened the walls of the
rooms and corridors where they were
stored, necessitating a prompt removal. Up
to this time 19i tons of imprinted checks
have been destroyed returned to the
senders after cancellation, and there are
now about sixty tons on hand, with the
daily receipts almost equaling the cancella-
tionS.

MEETS DISAPPROVAL
PRESIDENTS ACTION IN THE
CASE OF CAPT. RYAN
Was Charged With Administering the
water Cure and "Ducking"
Prisoners to Gain Information.

It was announced at the War Department
today that the President has disapproved
the proceedings and findings in the case of
Captain James A. Ryan, 18th Cavalry, who
was tried by a general court-martial at
Manila P L. on the charge of conduct to
the prejudice of good order and military dis
cipline.
There were two specifications under the
charge The first alleged that Captain Ry-
an while commanding detachment OF
troops at Jiminez, Mndanao, and having in
his charge as a prisoner Uvado Abing,
presidente of the pueblo of Jimtnez, did un-
lawfully order, direct and by his presence
and authority cause the soldiers and others
subject to his the said Ryans. command to
execute upon him, the said Abing, method
of punishment commonly known III the Phll-
ippine Islands as the water cure; that is.
did cause water to be introduced into the
mouth and stomach of the said Abing,
against his will, for the purpose of extort-
ing information from him.
The second specification alleged that Cap
tain Ryan ill-treated one Luis Girneno, vice
president of the pueblo of Jiminez, pris-
oner in his charge at Jininez. 1t was
charged that Captain Ryan did unlawfully
order, direct and by his presence and au-
thority cause the soldiers and others under
his, the said Ryans, command to tie the
arms of the said Girneno behind him and
hold him, the said Girneno, vertically, head
downward and partly immersed in bucket
of water, for period of five or ten seconds,
for the purpose of eXtorting information
from him, the said Girneno.' 1t was stated
that both Of the offenses charged were COM
mitted at JimineZ about the 1st Of Deem
Der, 1901.
The record shows that Captain Ryan
pleaded mot guilty to the specifications
and the charge, and that the court found
him not guilty of the first specification,
guilty of the second specification, except
the word "unlawfully,' attaching crimi-
nality thereto and mot guilty of the
charge. The court, therefore, acquitted Cap
tain Ryan.
The court-martial in this case was ap-
pointed by the President Brigadier Cen
eral Bisbee was president and Major NJ. F.
Waltz, 1st Infantry, was judge advocate of
the court. The record of the proceedings
of the court having been submitted to the
President, he indorsed it simply follows:
The proceedings and findings in the fore
going case of Captain James A. Ryan, 10Th
Regiment of Cavalry, are disapproved.

ment today that Rear Admiral Frederic

Aslatic station to Rear Admiral Robley D.
Evans at Yokohama, Japan, about October

hama she will take aboard a number Of

PAYMAsTER sULLIvAN's CASE.
Papers Forwarded to the President fol
Final Action

Secretary of the Navy Moody has for
warded the papers in the case of Paymas-
ter John Clyde Sullivan, who was found by
the retiring board to be physically, men,
tally and morally disqualified for promo
tion, to the President for final action. Ac-
cording to the findings of the board Pay
master Sullivan's active service must cease
the question for the President to determine
being whether he shall be retired or
whether he shall be dismissed from the SER
vice, with one years pay. The findings of
the board so far as the mental and moral
disqualification are concerned go back to
the period of Paymaster Sullivans service
in the navy before he was reinstated by an
act of Congress about a year ago. Secre-
tary Moody's recommendations in the case
were not made public.
