WONDERFUL CLOVER OF EGYPT.
II Probably Will Be introduced Into
the Western States

II Probably Will Be introduced Into
the Western States.
Seeds or a wonderful plant called
'oerseem" have been brought to this
country from Egypt by the Depart
ment of Agriculture. and efforts will
probably be made to introduce 1t in
regions of the United States to which
II Is adapted. 1t Is otherwise known
as Egyptian clover" being nearly re-
lated to ordinary clover.
Berseem is likely to be specially
valuable to the irrigated and orchard
lands of California and Texas, and il
Is thought that the Colorado desert,
with its rich soil and abundance of
water obtainable by irrigation, would
furnish an ideal place for trial of
the plant. Its yield of seed is much
heavier thar that of clover, and it
develops at marvellous rate, outgrow-
Ing most weeds and actually killing
out the later, reports the Saturday
Evening Post. DR., David Fairchild,
agricultural explorer of the depart
ment, says that while Egypts great
money making crop is cotton. the foun-
dation of her prosperity rests upon the
berseem.
DR.. Fairchild says that there are
few countries In the world to-day
where agriculture pays better than it
does in Egypt though the methods of
blowing and seeding practiced by the
people have scarcely changed at all
in thirty centuries. A million acres of
berseem is grown in the Valley of the
Nile, where it affords a conspicuous
feature of the most beautiful crop
checker-board to be seen anywhere on
earth. Its white Towering heads pre-
sent lovely Spectacle when adoIn-
ing extensive areas, and one learns
that not only farm animals but the
Fellaheen themselves eat it.
Though the origin of the plant is
unknown. it seems to have been in
troduced into Egypt in comparatively
recent times, no representation of it
being found on any of the ancient mon
uments. To-day all the cattle are fed
on it, as well as the camels and dOnk-
eys, and in the cities every cabman
has sack of it under his feet with
which to feed his horse. In early
morning all the avenues leading to
the city of Cairo are lined with long
files of camels and asses half hidden
under their loads of the green forage.
The hollow stems of the berseem are
very succulent. and the whole plant
Is decidedly more delicate than either
clover or alfalfa. Once introduced into
the United States. it would probably
be a great success, in some regions Of
the country at all events, and would
prove an important addition to our
agricultural products.

THE oLD-FAsHIoNED FIRE.

To steam heat the cities aspire
AS they shiver and shake in the cold;
But give me the old-fashioned fire
The round, rosy backlog of old!
The warmth and the light
OF its fame, leaping bright
s+ae drowsy-heads huddled around 1t at
night!
In the darkness the winter wind signing
Made the fame take ruddier glow;
The sparks up the broad chimney NY
ing
Like witch-eyes that cleaned in the
snow
Oh, the warmth and the light
OF those red flames so bright,
And the comfort and joy Of the Wild
winter night!
Far better that friendly old fire
Than buildings of simmering steam,
With never fame to admire,
And never a beautiful dream!
Oh, the love and the light
Where those flames danced so
bright,
And the old-fashioned joy Of the old
fashioned night.

announces the discovery Of mountains
on Venus. To observers hitherto the
planet has seemed wrapped In an i'm.
penotrahlc envelope Of cloud which
when near the earth. is the cause of
its astonishing hrilllancy; but Herr
Arcndt, who has had the Instruments
of the Urania observatory at Berlin
To work with, considers that he has
detected markings on Venus which in
dictate the presence of great eleva-
tious, seen from time 10 time through
the clouds surrounding it.
Novel rs the suggestion Is. it is but
revival of an old idea. Long ago
Schroter faneied he saw evidence of
mountains on Venus IN the raggednrSS

SETTLING tie on the friar problem,
THE it has been fully realized
FRIAR that there can be no
QUESTION. satisfactory pacification
OF the islands until this
question is settled, and when the bill
reaches the president for signature it
will contain no provision more import
ant that that for the absorption of the
position to friar rule. and the fear that
American supremacy meant the perpet-
uation of that rule, have formed the
basis of much of the Filipino hostility
TO American authority. And in lay
ing before congress the presidents in
structions to Judge Taft for his guild
ance in negotiating with the church at
Rome. Secretary Root has made it clear
to congress and the country that the
administration fully appreciates the
necessity of settling the "friar ques-
ton" on basis satisfactory 10 the
Filipinos as well as to the Catholic
church.
After advising Judge Taft that it
was not practica bic to delay his depart
ure for Manila until the passage of the
Philippine bill, Secretary Root request
ed him to stop at Rome en- route. for
the purpose of informing the vatican
as to the policy OF the American gov
eminent, to ascertain the basis upon
which an agreement could be reached
and tentatively to negotiate for the
purchase of the friar lands. Judge
Taft was instructed to inform the
Rome authorities that in the judgment
OF this government it is necessary to
deal now with the results of establish
ing in the Philippines d system of gov
eminent embracing 4 complete separa-
ton of church and state: that it is

VOir site be made available under tne

past the fTiars, formerly installed over
the parishes have been unable to re-
main at their posts and are collected
in Manila with the vain hope of return
ing. They Will not be voluntarily ac-
cepted again by the people and cannot
be restored to their possessions except
by forcible intervention on the part of
the civil government which the princi-
pies of our government forbid. 1t is
manifest that under these conditions
it is for the interest Of the church, as
we'll as of the state, that the landed
proprietorship of the religious orders il
the Philippine islands should cease and
that if the church wishes, as of course,
among the people Of the islands and
to conduct in its own behalf Il system
of instruction with which we have no
desire to interfere, it should seek other
agents therefor.
Secretary Root then goes on to ex-
plain that it is the wish of our govern
ment in case congress shall grant
authority that the titles of the religious
orders to the large tracts of agricul-
tural lands which they now hold shall
be extinguished, but that full and fair
compensation shall be made there
for, and further, that it is not
deemed to be for the interests
islands that in thus Transforming
wholly unproductive tracts of land into
money capable OF productive invest
ment, a fund should thereby be created
to be used for the attempted restora-
ton OF the friars to the parishes from
which they are now separated, with the
consequent disturbance of law and
order.
Final suggestions to Judge Taft were,
that the titles to the great amount OF
church lands and buildings in the lis
ands, other than those OF the religious
orders and now apparently owned by
the state, should be settled fairy.
That provision should b. made what
rentals if any ought to be paid for con-
vents and other church buildings which
have been occupied by United States
troops during the instruction, this be-
ing of course subject to further specific
action by congress.
That rights and obligations remain
education and charity, which now arc
in doubt and controversy ought to be
settled by agreement, if possible. rather
than by the slow and frequently irri-
tating processes of litigation, so that
the beneficent purposes Of these found
atoms may not fail.
/ The readers of The Republican are
familiar with the dispatches from
Rome, which have informed the peopl1
of this country that Judge Taft was
received with the greatest honor and
kindness by the Holy Father. and that
/ the church authorities at Rome have
manifested a strong anxiety to meet

The Treatment Of Horses

Leland STAFFORD once said, ga
horse should he treated like gsn
tleman." To the quer, "Why?"
some horse lovers might answer,
because he is one." Some horses
are certainly more gentlemanly in
their nature and behavior than the
men who drive them.
1t is, of course, to the pecuniary
interest of any horse-owner to t,eat
his animals kindly, and TO see that
his grooms and stabIe-boys 10 the
same. A horse kindly treat, d, nd
we'll fed, and comfnrtabl, housed,
will last considerably longer man
one which is not. The horse kept
in a city cannot endure the same
treatment as prairie mustang, any
more than his master would be COM
Portable going about in the garb Of
a plains Indian. Moreover, the
city horse is too often subjected to
utterly unnecessary cruelties and
hardships.
At about this time of year the
custom of clipping becomes an OBJ
vious cruelty. Nature provided he
horse with a coat warm enough for
his needs. Man, to satisfy some
pseudo esthetic taste, shears it of
and leaves the animal shivering
Sometimes he goes so far as to clip
the hair inside the horses ears,
which is a good way to produce
deafness. Then some day the crea-
lture fails to hear the sound of rail-
way train or other dangerous neigh
Dor, and disaster is the result.
The aE.ificiality of the tight check
rein and burr bit also is responsible
for some trouble with horses. A
horse cannot keep his temper when
subjected to constant irritation, and
sometimes his master as we'll as he
must suffer for it. A fractions
horse, or one with his nerves out OF
order, is not a safe animal. It
pays to treat horse like q gentle
man. Then he is likely to behave
like one.
