AMERICAN SOBRlETY
HIGHLY COMMENDED BY LADY
SOMERSET.
Condemns English Sisters and Says
Drunkenness Has Increased
Among Them.

New York, Nov. I4.-Lady Henry
Somerset, president OF the National
British Women's Temperance asso
, citation, who has been in New York
: for the last four weeks, sailed today
for England in the steamship St. Louis.
Speaking OF the drink question. boti.
in this country and in England, Lady
Somerset said shortly before sailing:
The most striking thin gto me
about the American people is their
general sObriety. | only wish | coulu
say the same thing for the people OF
England
The most striking thing to me
capita for the people of the United
States is less than hall that in Eng
land. Or rather Great Britain. This
superior sobriety is noticeable in all
grades of American society, and az
counts in a great measure. | have no
doubt, for your greater alertness and
energy, particularly among your WORK
ing classes.
pecially in England" continued Lady
Somerset, has greatly Increased with
i'll the last five years. How to deal
effectively with this problem has be
come a very serious MAJ er. Over
1000 women in London alone were
treated for the drink habit by the va
rious hospitals and sanitariums there
last year What is the cause of this
hard to explain | think. however
that the vastly increased competition
among both sexes for a livehood has
great deal to do with it,
''The American woman | find has a
more highly developed capacity for
business than her English cousin. and
competition between ner own sex and
the men is very much greater here.
This fact, however. has not resulted
in proportionate increase of drunk
enness among the women of Aemrica.
American women, those OF the
northern states at leafi seem to me
letl more ROBUST tudl E4HSHSl1 women,
and are, therefore, better able to
stand the strain of business lite In
England the women employed in OF
fees, where the hours oi work are
long and confining. and where much
mental effort is necessary. often find
it essential after the days work, and,
even while at their desks. to resort to
stimulants. 1t is this habit once begun
that has directly resulted in the de-
plorable increase of drunkenness in
their sex. And, of course, there are
other reasons which can only be ap
preciated by those who have made a
thorough personal investigation of the
drink situation in England

Repeated Trials Of Crops.

Every farmer who has tried the plan
knows that he frequently fails to get
satisfactory crop of some grain or
vegetable. and does not always sue
coed in getting stand of the crops
sown for stock. This Is often the case
with crimson clover, and sometimes
with the COW pea and with alfalfa.
Several recent communications from
correspondents who have adopted the
suggestion offered in this column re-
garding alfalfa state that they tried
the plan, but did not get satisfac-
tory stand, and hence would give 1t
up. This Is wrong. as the writer can
testify, for on several occasions he has
failed to get a satisfactory stand with
out any apparent cause for the fail
ure except in one instance, when the
seed was poor.
On the other hand. other sowings
have brought good stands, and addi-
tional trials on the same land where
previous failures had been made re-
suited in success III tests on small
plots show that certain crops can be
grown on the farm, one ought not to be
discouraged at single failure, espe-
cially with such a crop as alfalfa,
which promises so much to the Amer.
lean farmer.

Treating Rot in Peaches.

The brown rot Of peaches Is generally
familiar to growers of this fruit. but
many are careless In Kidding their or
chards Of the pest, probably because
they do not appreciate the damage the
fungous growth does. The illustration
fairly shows how the mummilied
peaches look when attacked with this
disease. Not only is the fruit attacked
by this disease. but the twigs are also
affected. and the growth Is much more
formidable during a damp growing sea-
son than dry one.
II seems unnecessary to say that
much of the trouble from this difficulty
could be avoided; that is. the disease
might be checked, If these mummiiied
specimens were picked from the trees
before the buds appear In the spring.
AS with most fungous diseases OF
fruit trees, this brown rot may be- large.

A Moorish City.

The sun never touches the ground in
Fee, except in few isolated spaces,
owing to the narrow streets. the height
of houses, and the habit of stretching
trellises covered with vines across from
side to side. The consequence is that
its naturally dark-skiDned citizens, be-
ing rarely exposed to the full light OF
day, have compilations resembling par
TALLY decomposed potato sprouts in a
dark cellar. The so-called streets run In
straight lines the entire length OF the
town, and are all paved with round
stones the size of eocoanuts, worn
smooth by the tread Of generations OF
slippered feet. AS these lanes are never
swept, and every householder throws
his Stops and refuse out of doors. one
must pick his way with exceeding care.

THE MEMORY OF HER BOY.

An American woman. a noted reader
