which would always remind him of the
pope; and he asked for two things dur
ing one of the periods when he was on
duty at the vatican. One was one of
the little white skull caps which his
holiness wears. and the other was an
autograph. The pope, who is Very af-
fable and quite without airs with those
who are in his immediate encourage.
refused 10 give the skull cap-perhaps
there was some reason of etiquette
against it in the iron code of papal
ceremony-but ne held down his head

Cuts His
Own Salary

The Rev. DR.. David Gregg of the La
fayette Avenue Presbyterian church, |
Brooklyn, has requested the board of
trustees of the church 10 reduce his
salary from $4,000 to $1,000.
Dr.. Gregg's action was wholly v0lun-
tary. He has been pastor OF the church
for twelve years. He succeeded the
Rev. T De Witt Cuyler. and numbers
among his congregation more than
100 persons. some of the most sub
stantial families of Brooklyn.
Supreme Court Justice Goodrich is
president of the board OF trustees. and
Clinton l. Rossiter is trustee and
superintendent of the Sunday school.
Under DR.. Gregg's administration the
church has enjoyed great prosperity
Since he accepted the call twelve years
ago, giving UP the rastorate of the ia
nous Park Street church, in Boston, to
assume the Brooklyn charge. two chap
els have been established under his en-
ergetic hand. and recently IN entirely
new cOnsregatio was carved out of
the membership of the mother church.
So the church is in the best of shape.
though at the annual meeting OF the
trustees on Wednesday night President
Goodrich reported a deficit of So. 800 q.
This sum was spent for charitable and
religious work during the year, and it
is expected that it Will fully be made
up on Sunday. When Il collection is 10
be taken up for that purpose.
Dr. Gregg, who is % years old and
healthy and vigorous. made UP lis
mind recently when without any re-
quest on his part an assistant. Rev.
George r. Lunr, was given him. that
he no longer needed the full sum that
was being paid him, and, therefore that
it would be unjust for him longer to
accept it,
He accordingly notified the board of
trustees that lie had cut his oun sal
ary. and he said last night that that
ended the matter so IA. as ne was con-
cerr,ed.
II dom care what ac1ion the hoard
takes" he said. shaking ms lead. from
which a mass of iron gray hair falls
down over his collar My salary in
the future will be $4,000"

few words. without Indicating whether

said last night. however. that h. did
not think there was any objection to
pr. Gregg reducing his salary If he
wanted to-

said the Justice. AT the same time the
step which the doctor has taken must
excite admiration. and il is undoubt-
edlv unusual"
DR.. Greeg's reasons fo,. emitting his
salary are given in his own words be
low:
I do not think it an unusual thing
that have done. I think Won viii find
that there are hundreds who do the

two or three fiat iron strips, drilled

braced together with 2x3 and 3x1%

pieces are mortised with 2x1-inch
lemons into the rear crosspiece, and
the crosspiece is mortised into the
side frame pieces in like manner. The

ARRANGEMENT OF GARDEN

fraction of the work that the old
garden did besides getting a great
deal more from it. Make it, say,
Twice as long as broad, and plant
everything in rows all the way
across, excepting a bed for such small
truck as radishes. With seed drill
and wheel hoe for planting and the
first wedding and one-horse culti-
vator for subsequent working, the
garden can be made without missing
the time. It should be near the
house and have a high fence around
it to keep out the chickens. 1t should
be large enough to contain several
rows of small fruits, grapes etc,
which should be by themselves SO
that the balance of the land can be
plowed deep with the two-horse plow
early in the spring. A strip of SOD
should be left at each end for the
horse to turn around on. After crops
are gathered in the fall, it should
have heavy application of stable
manure. If it has been we'll enriched
with manure, the use of nitrate of
soda alone will be found of advar-
tage on the early crops. Scatter it
around the young crops every two
weeks. It is convenient to use and
will have wonderful forcing effect.

Long lace gloves, long lace mitts

these are of handmade lace and ex-
ceedingly fine and costly, but there

Net Loss in Storing HAY.

What will well-cured hay in the field
lose by storing in NOW until spring?
One fifth is a common estimate. The
hay on three plots was sufficiently
cured to remain in fine condition in the
NOW, and the next February the
shrinkage was found to run from Is
to 20 per cent. Where the yield was
over four and one-half tons an acre
the curing was not so thorough as on
plots of lighter yield, though sufficient
for safe storage. So we may safely
infer that 20 per cent. is safe outside
estimate for shrinkage in the NOW.
Thoroughly cured grass will lose less,

beyond the Kansas plains the world no

monstrous in size and brazen with the
dull color that you have seen at sun

globe. The lake below me, now look
ing like a silver dime, seemed like
the apex of the sphere, and then,
as the sun dropped below the
sky line, shadows crept about it.
I saw, like stars reflected in the
water, the city's lights shining
dimly below. Soon the globe, down
upon which gazed with fascinating
interest, lost all color. The pale lights
seemed to be swimming round and
round. But yet my balloon, still in the
suns half light, was luminous with
pale yellow glow.

sparks of light and streaks of fiery

SOME PEACH POINTS.
R. Morrill,, Famed Throughout the
West MS a Fruit Grower, Talks
About His Business,

Following is only small part OF
some terse talk on peach culture
given by r. Morrill, the famous fruit
grower, before the Illinois society:
The man who can make success Of
peach growing must love the busi-
ness. He must understand the few
essentials in selecting a location; lie
must know that elevation means
everything to a peach orchard under
trying conditions; he must under
stand the effect of temperatures on
plant life and on peach buds partic-
ularly; he must know that the buds
of the peach do not die as quickly in
moving air as they do in still air, as,
for instance, they may not kill on
the top of a plateau and on the side
OF hill, but kill at the lower Level;
ne must know that there must be
proper balance maintained between
root and top in the care of his trees.
spoke about a proper balance be-
tween root and top. The balance
must be preserved by a careful cul"
ture of the soil, at the proper time.
The proper time is when growth COM
mences. Begin your culture and
hurry it forward, and keep at it.
Then cease at time which you
must determine from your own con-
ditions. On my soil, which is not nj
heavy load, will carry on that cul-
tivation as long as I can get arount;
that tree, until the branches begin
to hang down. If it were a highly
nitrogenous soil, I would stop bit
earlier, but stopping anywhere in the
middle of the summer would be to
put check on the tree
l would trim severely every peach
tree; [ would trim it for symmetry
! and to throw the balance of power
with the root; I would trim it be-
cause I get better fruit; T would
trim it because it is method Of

the fruit of good crop because the
formation of seed is a draft on the
tree and devitalizes it. 1t cannot ma
