NEW WESTMINSTER FIRE.
Damage to the Amount Of $50, 900 Is
Done.


New Westminster, B. c., Dec TO-
The most disastrous fire that has visited
the royal city since the great conflagra-
ton of 1898 occurred yesterday, and
damage to the amount of $4,000 has
resulted.
About 10 O'Clock smoke was found
coming from the basement of Lees
furniture store in the Dupont block on
Columbia street, and general alarm
was turned in Both brigades and the
fire boat responded and many streams
were turned into the basement, but the
fire contineud to increase and steadily
gained on the firemen until the whole
block was in flames. The ammunition
in Anderson's hardware store exploded
soon before noon and shortly after the
roof fell in. The firemen managed to
confine the fire to one block.

REBEL AGAINST CHAPERoNS.
Girls in American Colleges Are
strongly Opposed to This
European Innovation.

American girls as a rule resent the
chaperon. They declare they have no
need of such a guardian and will have
none of her. Furthermore, they de-
clare that her presence is an imputa-
ton upon their characters that is lit
tie short of insulting, says the Chi
cago Chronicle. The girl students of
Smith college have taken the initia-
tive in protesting against the odious
presence. The powers that be at
that institution have lately ordained
that the services of a chaperon shall
be called into requisition whenever
Algernon comes to pay court or an
Amherst student wants to vary the
monotony of a Smith girls life by
taking her to the theater. No more
accidental little walks or coy little
lunches with incidental harmless
fiirtations in company with mere
man. He is tabooed, except the ar
gus eye of the chaperon have him in
focus.
Some years ago the rules of Smith
college were very stringent in re-
spect to chaperonage. The girls
were not allowed to attend the the
alter except under the surveillance of
teacher and were only allowed to
walk certain distances from the col
lege and on certain streets. OF re-
cent years, however, rules and regu-
lations have been done away with
and the girls have been made their
own mentors and given perfect free
dom. AS result they are highly in
dignant at having their privilege
withdrawn. Whether the decision of
the faculty has been brought about
through any especial cause or is sim
ply the result of gradual change of
sentiment throughout the country
is not explained, but it is presumably
the latter. There has certainly been
rapidly growing sentiment in
America in favor of the chaperon.
Even in the wild and woolly west
social forms are much more compli-
Gated than few years ago and the
girl of good family no longer goes
driving or to the theater alone with
a man. There is no doubt that the
chaperon has become a recognized
necessity in Uncle Sans country.

His Phonetic UNDERSTANDING

"The gravity which is supposed to
attend all court proceedings was Sc
riously disturbed in New York court
room one day last week." said a young
lawyer who has just returned from a
business trip to that city. 81 was
present at the trial of a case before
one of the municipal judges-a case
in which | was interested because it
had to do with automobiles. One of
the witnesses was a German, and gave
his testimony through an Interpreter.
In the course of the examination he
said he had driven an automobile to
Cedarhurst.
What's that?' asked the Judge.
"'To Cedarhurst,' repeated the in
terpreter.
His honor looked puzzled.
"'What did he want to see the
hearse for?' he asked" -Washingt

SOIL NEEDS FEEDING.
Farm Land Must BE Regularly Sup
piled with Humus or Its FertiI-
tty VIII Cease

Fertility depends upon number of
conditions. Before the roots can
take the needed substances, there
must be sufficient moisture in the
soil. This moisture must circulate
to bring it in contact with the roots,
and the physical character of the
soil has much to do with this. 1t
must not be too open nor too COM
pact. If too open water cannot rise;
if too compact, it evaporates too rap
idly from the surface. A soil that
settles down like brick dust after a
heavy rain cannot for several rea-
sons produce well. Nature has a
remedy for these conditions, and to
succeed we must at least initiate her.
Nature, by the decomposition of or
ganic materials in the soil, produces
what is known as humus, which
tends to correct the above evils. 1t
makes the soil light and fatulent,
prevents packing from hard rains
and facilitates circulation of both
water and air in the soil as is best
suited to the needs of vegetation.
No soil can be highly fertile with
out humus. Barnyard manure owes
much of its value to the humus pro-
duced by the rotting of organic mat
ter. Green manuring is common
method of producing humus. The
farmer should at proper seasons turn
under all the vegetable material at
hand, provided it has no great mar
lIet value. In this way he returns
the contained nitrogen to the soil
which otherwise is lost, and enIivens
his soil by increasing the humus. Do
not, however, turn under valuable
crops. Sell them and pillow under
something cheaper. When conditions
are favorable, the most profitable
method of utilizing such a crop is
by pasturing or feeding and return
ing the eXcrements to the land. In
this way you get the value of your
crop and yet return almost all the
plant food to the soil.--Barnum'E
Midland Farmer.
