A WORTHY SUCCESSOR.


All doctors have tried to cure cat
arrh by the use of powders, acid
gases, inhalers and drugs in paste
form. Their powders dry up the
mucous membranes, causing them to
crack open and bleed. The powerful
acids used in the inhailers have en-
tirely eaten away the same men,
branes that their makers have aimed
to cure, while pastes and ointments
cannot reach the disease. An old and
experienced practitioner who has for
many years made close study and
specially of the treatment of catarrh,
has at last perfected treatment
which when faithfully used, not
only relieves at once, but perma-
nently cures catarrh, by removing
the cause, stopping the discharges,
and curing all Inflammation. 1t is
the only remedy known to science
that actually reaches the afflicted
parts. This wonderful remedy iS
known as "Snuffles, the guaranteed
catarrh cure" and is sold at the ex-
tremely low price of One Dollar,
each package containing internal
and external medicine sufficient for
full months treatment and every
thing necessary to it's perfect use.
"Snutfles" is the only perfect cat
arrh cure ever made, and is now rec
ognized as the only safe and positive
cure for that annoying and disgust
ing disease. 1t cures all inflamma-
ton quickly and permanently and Is
also wonderfully quick to relieve
hay fever or cold in the head.
Catarrh when neglected often
leads to consumption "Snutfles"
will save you if you use it at once.
1t is no ordinary remedy, but COM
plete treatment which is positively
guaranteed to cure catarrh in any
form or stage if used according to
the directions which accompany
each package. Don't delay but send
for it at once, and write full particu-
lars as to your condition, and you

The Mining and Engineering
Journal of last week says the cop
per market shows very little change,
and may be considered firm. Do
mestic consumption continues on an
unpa aralelled scale, while exports,
though little below the level of
February and March, are still very
large. Moreover, the exports ap-
pear to be mainly for consumption,
and have lost the somewhat specu-
lative character of those made in
the early months of the year. These
exports and the current domestic
have, in fact, exceeded
the United States production thus
far this year, and have made a con-
siderable draft upon stocks. At the
present time the leading producers
appear to be well sold up to August,
and spot copper is not to be had. AT
the same time there do not appear to
be any speculative holdings, or if
there are such, they are closely kept,
and their amount cannot be very
large.

WHEN TO CUT ALFALFA.
Rcsslts Obtalaed by Tests Made at Different
Agricultural fxperimeat Stations.

The following is the gist of some
experiments which have been made
IN several of the arid States, and the
conditions being the same as in Ne
vada, the information may be read
with interest by our alalta raisers:
Alfalfa should be cut when not
more than one-tenth of the plants
have come in bloom. Cut at this
early stage, the yield of hay for the
seas son will be much greater than it
the alfalfa is cut near maturity, and
every pound OF hay secured will be
worth more for feed.
At the Kansas experiment station
strip through field of alfalfa was
cut when one-tenth was in bloom.
The strip cut early was nearly
ready to cut the second time when
that cut after full bloom was being
harvested the first time. The strip
cut early grew vigorously through
the seas son and made three cuttings
and good aftermath. The strip cut
after full bloom gave a lower yield
than first cutting and did not grow
sufficiently to yield good second
cutting. Early cutting seems to IN
vigorate the plant.
The late cutting of the first crop
seems to injure the plant more than
at any other time, and we have
found it profitable to cut alfalfa the
first time as soon as one-tenth was in
bloom, even though the weather was
bad and we knew that the crop
would spoil in curing. The increas-
ing yield from succeeding cuttings
over that cut late much more than
makes up for the loss of the first crop.
Successful clover growers, the
first time they try alfalfa. often ruin
the stand 80 that it has to be plowed
up, by waiting to cut until it reach
es the stage at which clover is
usually cut.
The great value of alfalfa is the
large amount of protein it contains,
that material in feed that is abso-
lutely necessary for the formation OF
blood, lean meat and milk. The
chemical department of this Station
found the effect of cutting alfalfa at
different sc~gcs az follows:
Protein.
One tenth in bloom. ,............ 1875 per cent
One-half in bloom ..... .,......., 172 per cent
In full bloom 4.4 per cent
The Colorado Experiment Station
found the effects OF cutting alfalfa
as follows:
Protein.
Coming In bloom. m..................l 1856 per cent
One-half In bloom m....,............A6 IA 6 per cent
In full bloom, n,....................12 129 per cent
The Utah Experiment Station for
five years cut alfalfa at different
stages of maturity and fed the crop
in producing beet. The average pro-
duction per year per acre was as
tollows:
Hay. tens. Beef. lbs.
In first bloom. om..,...............5.S5 SIS 7o6
In full bloom ..,.............49O 562
Half blooms fallen. ......., Ass 400
These experiments made i'll three
States-Kansas, Colorado and Utah
prove that alfalfa cut in the first
bloom will give the greatest yield
and feeding value. The leaves OF
alfalfa contain more than three
times as much protein as the stem.
A ton of alfalfa leaves contains as

times as much protein as the stem.
A ton of alfalfa leaves contains as

Kvery care should be taken in cur
ing alfalfa to save the leaves.

The Remedy in minneapolis.

To the Editor OF The Journal: - 3.
take The following clipping from T h e
Journa al of few days ago:
After the experiences of the last few weeks
Minneapolitans will be prepared to adopt a
charter that eliminates the office of mayor.
It suggests to me a pertinent, and a very
serious question, not only for Minneapolis,
but for all our badly governed cities. Rather
than adopt the suggestion of the clipping, /
make the counter suggestion that the ex-
periences of the last few weeks are worth
to your city all the disgrace that they have
brought upon it. The fact that you have
been able to locate the cause Of the dis
grace brought upon Minneapolis in the per-
son of the mayor seems to. me to be valu-
able one; so valuable indeed, that If the
lesson Is rightly used your cities ought to
be content, If the disgrace were twice as
great. .
a. If your charter confers upon the mayor the
sole power and responsibility for the executive
administration of the public affairs of your
city, you have an effective and complete
remedy in your hands for present use. This
remedy would be made effective and efficient
by electing to the Office OF mayor man OF
sterling integrity and executive ability.
know you must have many such men in your
city. Put one OF them into the Office OF
mayor, with full power and responsibility,
and then hold him to a strict account for
his stewardship.
Pardon me for these suggestions, but am
interested in competent, honest and efficient
municipal administration. I take 1t that few
IL any, OF the men of personal worth and
dignity of Minneapolis would care to bring
,1uon themselves the obioquy now rightly
resting upon Mayor Ames.

Expostulations proved unavailing, and in
the lttle-known village of st. Leger, between
Vevey and Blonay, there were at least two
sad hearts-Yvette's and her blue-eyed lover
Thomas. That evening they stood together
gazing sadly at the house pictures around

PUBLIC BATHS IN ENGLAND

The attention of Journ II readers,
and particularly the members of the city
council, is. called to- an article in this
paper on public baths in Great Britain.
These facts are taken from the British
Year Book and are reliable. They ought
to be suggestive as to the duties Of the
municipality in this connection.
1t will be noticed that in nearly every
instance cited in this article the munich
pality incurred the entire expense for
these public baths, and in numerous In
stances created a debt which imposes an
interest tax. Minneapolis Is fortunate in
that no debt need be incurred in order to
convert the old city hall property into a
public bathhouse. The city owns the
property, and the, money necessary to
make the changes, The Journ al is
assured, will be provided by a public
spirited citizen, in such amount as may
be necessary. It certainly would be any
thing but creditable to our reputation as
a progressive, heightened community to
refuse to take advantage of such a rare
opportunity to make a very much needed
Improvement.

CANADIAN RECIPROCITY

The Journal publishes to-day lib
eral extracts from a speech made In the
sixth ward last night by Mr.. Hay, candi-
date for congress. This speech would de-
serve the space given to it If there Were
no campaign on, and is deserving of the,
attention of the people Of this city as the
strongest and ablest presentation ever
made in this city of matter of surpass-
ing interest to this community.
Mr.. Hay discussed other things, but
the particular portion Of his remarks
which should be Of peculiar interest to
every citizen of Minneapolis, no matter
what his politics, and no matter what his
preference as to congressional candidates,
was that devoted to Canadian reciprocity.
There is no public question requiring The
attention Of public men, and upon which
public men should be expected to have
large information, and none of more vital
interest to this community, than that
which Mr.. Hay discussed so ably last
night. No community in the United
States is so vitality interested in this
question as Minneapolis. No community
should give it more consideration than it
should receive here. Every line of bust
ness, people of every class and descrip-
ton, interests of every kind are con-
cerned in the solution of this problem,
and must be interested in the treatment
which it receives at the hands of a candi-
date for the honor of representing this
district in the congress of the United
States, where all questions of reciprocity
must be considered and determined.

COMMERCIAL. HONOR

The university of California has taken
a forward step in esta blishing college
of commerce Mr.. H. Weinstock of Sac
ramento has endowed that college with a
lectureship that is good deal more Of a
novelty than the college. itself. The lee
tureship Is to be devoted to the morals
of trade. The endowment is $4,000 and is
expected to yield enough to pay the lee
turer good fee and publish and distrib-
ute his lecture.
Mr.. Weinstock says that he knows that
there is a lot of lying, cheating, false
measures and weights and cunning in the
business world. That there are still mis-
guided business men who believe that
there can be no honost success Mr.. Vein
stock knows to be a fact. He wants to
remind business men and aspirants for a
business career that business life can
and ought to be perfectly honest. =
Ruskin's influence appears to be behind
Mr.. Weinstock's generosity for in explain
ing his gift he quotes Ruskin's views of
the function of trade and from them de-
duces the principle of commercial honor.
The merchants function, says Ruskin, is
to provide for the nation. 1t is a func-
ton which he ought to perform for itself
utterly apart from the profit. The latter
is due and necessary adjunct of the
work, but should not be it's object any
more than money making is the clergy
mans or the fee the good doct or's. Rusk-
in would have the merchant SO devoted
| to keeping his engagements and the pur-
! ity and genuineness Of the thing provided
| that he would be bound to meet fearless
| ly any form of distress, poverty or labor
which may, through maintenance of these
points, come upon him." IL
| - Evidently Mr.. Weinstock thinks that
there is need for business men to exalt
their office, to set more store upon the
| Importance of the function they perform
'consider more the true nobility Of thei1
lot in life and attach less Importance tc

SONG OF THE MYSTIC

I walk down the Valley OF Silence H.
Down the dim, voiceless valley-alone!
And I hear not the fall of footstep
Around me, save Gods and my own;
And the hush Of my heart is as holy
AS hoyers where angels have flown!
Do you ask what found in the Valley?
= IT'S my Trysting Place with the Divine.
And I fell at the feet Of the Holy, +,
And above me a voice said: BE mine''
And there arose from the depths of my spiri,
An echo, my heart shall be Thine
Do you ask how I live in the Valley? l..
weep-and 1 dreanl-and I pray.
But my tears are sweet as the dew-drops
That fall on the roses in MAY; ..
And my prayer, like perfume from Censers
Ascendeth to God night and day.
In the hush of the Valley of Silence =
I dream all the songs that I sing; : =
And the music floats down the dim valley,
Till each finds a word for a wing,
That to hearts, like the Dove of the Deluge
message of Peace they may bring.
But far on the deep there are pillows
: That never small break on the beach:
And have heard songs in the Silence r.
" That never shall, float into speech; -
And have had dreams in the Valley
Too lofty for language to reach. So -.
And have seen thoughts in the Valley
All! me, how my spirit was stirred! - s.
And they wear holy wells on their faces
Their footsteps can scarcely be heard;
They pass through the Valley like Virgins,
Too pure for the touch of "a wordl
Do you ask me the place Of the Valley,
Ye hearts that are narrowed by Care?
It lieth afar between mountains
And God and His Angels are there;
And one is the dark mount of Sorrow,
And one the bright mountain of Prayer
