MiNiSi iH ~ ESADA Scuoui. where ue IT,
ceived the degree of Bachelor Of Laws
in 1891. He spent some months in u
law office, but the dryness of the pro-
fessiOn did not appeal to him. and he
suddenly entered the service OF the Ar
gentine confederation, becoming one
Of that country's delegation to the Pan
American Congress in Washington. His
uncle, Senior Saenz Pana. at that time
the minister for foreign affairs. visited
this country, and Quesada served him
the congress Quesada jOurneyed with
him through England. France and
Spain. sailing from the mother country
for Argentina. Then Quesada returned
with the official title of consul from
that country to Philadelphia.
In the meantime Senior Quesada had
been in close communication with Jose
Marti. the head and front Of the Cuban
revolutionary movement. To Quesada' 8
romantic mind Martl was leader
worthy Of any sacrifice. and he resign
ed his cOnsulship to devote all his
energy to the cause Of Cuba.
When Marti left New York to And
death at the front In Cuba. Quesada
was. by order Of Gen. Gomez. placed in
charge of the revolutionary move
ments in the United States. This post
h, held with great satisfaction to his
people, until Estrada Palma was elect
ed to that position. During this period
Quesada found time to serve as a mem
Der of the Executive Committee Of the
Spanish American Literary Society and
Of the Cuban Benevolent Society, in
New York. He also published three
books Of short stories. one with the ela-
ment Of love predominant. the others
filled with patriotism. All Of these were
In Spanish.
Quesada has an lmpetuous disposi-
ton and a lovable personality which
have greatly endeared him to the Gu
bans and made many warm friends
for him elsewhere. His intelligence
aud vivacity won for him Secretary
Hays regard, and his deep love Of
country made Mr.. Mckinley his Arm
friend.

Value of Apple POmace.

Apple pomace Is usually held in 'iEht
esteem. Many think it not worth the
hauling. 1t is sometimes used as fer
tilizer occasionally as a feed for pigs
or cows but it frequently goes to waste
behind the cider mill. A minor expert
ment made in 1889 at the Vermont Ex-
pertinent Station indicated that its
feeding value was about equal to that
Of good silage Inasmuch as the meth
DDS Of that test were open to criticism,
1t seemed worth while to repeat the
trial upon more extended scale. Ac-
cordingly several tons OF pOmace We're
obtained from a nearby cider mill ana
ensiled for preservation. The results
secured were as follows: l. From one
to three per cent less milk and butter
was made when the pOmace was FED
than when corn silage was eaten. :.
The cows gave somewhat better milk
ON pOmace than on silage. The DIFF
ference amounted to about O.2O per
cent. 3. From three to four per cent
more product was made on the unit OF
dry matter Of the pOmacc ration than
that Of the silage ration. There seem
ed to be no III effects arising from the
feeding Of fifteen pounds or less daily
1t is but fair to say, however. that
the milk Of these seven cows was
merged with that Of the entire herd.
Had pomace been fed to the entire herd
in these quantities. it might have af-
fected the quality Of the milk or the
butter. The present experiment does
not afford data upon this point. 1t is
expected to make observations thereon
during the coming year.-New England

In national school near Ballybeg
.he principal ruled his pupils with a
rod OF iron. Although really good
teacher, he was somewhat harsh in
his punishments and rarely appeared
to have a due appreciation of youthful

reprimand some senior boys for I'M
seemly conduct and ended his re-

What's the use OF suffering from ma
laria when you can avoid the shakes
and the doctors bill by merely side
stepping? DR.. l.. .. Howard. who is in
charge of the bug department of the
agricultural end of the government. has
issued "a pamphlet that ought to be
called Uncle Sans Mosquito Guide"
1t tells what kind of mosquitoes to
fight shy Of and what kind to meet
with the glad hand. The Culex is the
harmless night singer, the AnOpheles is
the chills and fever distributor.
When mosquito comes whining
your way. observe him closely before
you let him get in his bill. If he has
clear wings you may allow him to

he Will feel over the repast will amply

wings. take an AK or a crOwbar and 60

kind and with one nip can lay you up

If you are In doubt. there Is another
way to distinguish the harmless from
the villainous-the Culex looks hump

wall or the window pane; Anopholes is
straight.

OOMESTiCS IN AFRICA.
Most Work Done by kaffir Boys Who
Take "White" Names.


An amusing picture Of domestic con.

Blow in an article in the New York
Tribune. Mrs. Blows husband was
manager Of Il mine in South Africa, and
both husband and wife lived there for
several years. In recalling the domes-
tic problem as it exists in that region,
she says:
Most of the work is done by Kaffirs,
who, like the Southern negroes in slay-
cry times, are called boys" no mat
ter what their age may be.

kraals no one ever uses their native
names. AS soon as they are brought
into contact with the whites they take

As a rule. such cultivation should be
OF the surface soil only. rarely more
than two inches deep; but it should be
remembered that this applies only to
soils that have been we'll worked and
plOwed to a good depth before the seed

field that Is inclined to bake after
heavy rains, needs more than the shall
low soil cultivation. at least for num-

may destroy some Of the roots of the
plants growing near the surface, but
this is better than to permit the soil
to remain hard for any considerable
depth. Whenever the soil has been
sufficiently loosened after it has become
hard. then the shallow cultivation
should be put in practice again. On
the other hand. as first stated. the
deeper cultivation should not be done
unless the condition of the soil requires

Varieties of Garden Plants.


In the year book for 1901. issued by
the Department Of Agriculture, it Is
stated that there were catalOgued in
1900 no less than 6SJ nominal varieties
of cabbage. $50 of lettuce. 800 OF bush
beans, $40 Of sweet corn. 800 each Of
cucumbers and table beets, 25j of pole
beans and almost as many Others of
other vegetables. OF course this in
cludes many varieties which differ from
others only by having the addition Of a
growers name or some designation in
tended to be descriptive. as "improv-
ed" "early," ''late." large" or other
addition which is intended to show Il
difference from the others under the
old name. The department lately Is
sued as a bulletin "A List Of American
Peppers which enumerates 124 varie-
ties. Among so many how may one
learn to choose the best? Undoubted-
ly many Of them differ in name only,
and perhaps some growers use more
care In selecting the seed stock or In
keeping varieties pure than do others.
and by the Use of their name may de-
sire to gain a reputation. but the above
list might well be divided by ten. and
still show all the different types. and

SAFE BLOWN OPEN.
rhe Mifflinville Post Office Robbed. $3.50
in Stamps and S145 in Money Secured.

The thieves have shifted their oper-
ations. The last raid was made We'd
nesday morning on the post Office at
Miffllnville. They entered the build
ing through the large front window,
the glass and sash being smashed to
pieces. The safe was blown open
and completely wrecked by the use of
some powerful explosive. The money
secured amounts to $I42.oo. $40 of
which belonged to the government,
the balance having been placed in
the safe by Postmaster Greasy for diff
ferent members of his family. Stamps,
principally of the cent denomination,
aggregating value of $I6o were also
taken.
Mr.. Greasy runs store in connec-
ton with the post Office, but the
entire stock Of goods was passed by
which would seem to indicate that
money was the sole object of the
robbery. They must have exercised
great care in their movements about
the place, as not a sound, save the
report of the explosion when the safe
was blown open, was heard by the
inhabitants. This report reached the
ears of Mrs. Andrews, wife of the
proprietor of the Union Hotel, and
she awakened her husband. He how
ever, attributed it to the closing of
window, and thought nothing more
of it.
Several suspicious looking charac-
tiers were noticed on the streets of the
village in the early evening of the
previous day. They appeared quite
restless and inasmuch as they were
not seen after the robbery, they no
doubt committed the crime.
The post office inspectors are at
work on the case and it is altogether
likely that the burglars will be appre-
hended.
