DISCRIMINATING BRICK HURLER

 Place Which Displeases Her

 Place Which Displeases Her.
 New York. Jan 23.-A comedy young woman stood in front of the Journal office at Broadway and Thirtv-seyentII street last night and studied the bulle- tins and the interior fittings of inc office intently for few moments. Then she went away. Tn few min ntes she came back.
 After another study of the place she deftly took two half bricks from her huff and hurled them at the plate glass windows. The windows went down with a great smash. A clerk inside lodged and missed having one of the missiles land on his ear.
 The police took her away. notwith standing protests from the crowd. and sent her to Bellevue in an ambulance. All she would say about her actions was simply:

Cancer Investigation in Germany.

The German emperor is reported to have made an order for commission of experts to be appointed with a view to the most radical and exhaus- i've investigation of cancer that can possibly be made. The deaths of his father, mother and uncle from this cause have naturally given this scourge a terrible interest in his eyes.-N. Y. Sun.

With plenty Of moisture this will do, but

drilling in rows twenty-eight inches
apart. One-half to three-fourths of
bushel to the acre, according to condi-
tion OF the soil, is planted.
With ordinary favorable weather the
crop attains sufficient growth in ten
days to be cultivated. IL conditions are
unfavorable and the plant starts slow
ly. it would be well to run over the
ground with spike tooth drag to keep
the weeds from starting or to mellow
the soil If 1t has been crusted. The tool
generally used for cultivating is the
two horse wheel cultivator OF any
standard make. II the soil has been
properly fitted, two rows can be culti-
waited at once, ten acres being an easy
days work.
Cultivation should be done once q
week until the bean begins to form.
Some good farmers will not cultivate
after the blossoms appear. My own
experience has taught me that cultiva-
ton. though 1t be so late so as tear
apart the vines between the rows, nev-

Moot Point of Inv.

An English writer gives a good ex-
ample of those quibbles in legal prac-
tice that have a sort OF fascination for
certain minds. Some years ago. while
travelling on the continent, he met the
principal lawyer for the government OF
one OF the principalities, who told him
Of curious legal question. 1t had ref
erence TO railway station at the
boundary between two principalities.
Some one standing outside the Win
dow of the ticket office had put his
The boundary line lay between where
the thief stood and the till, so that he
was actually in one territory while the
crime was committed in the other
Here was nice nut for the gentlemen
learned in the law to crack. Which
OF the principalities should undertake
the prosecution of the culprit?
At it they went in good earnest. and
the arguments on either side were long
and vehement till the whole case was
embalmed In many volumes. At last
one side yielded so far as to say:
"We will permit you, as an act Of
courtesy, TO prosecute. while at the
same time reserving all our sovereign
rights"
AT this point OF the recital the Eng
ishman asked, "And how did the pros
ecution end?"
"Ah. that Is quite another matter"
said his friend There was no prose
cution: we were only arranging what
we should do when we caught the rob
ber, but we never caught him."

PRIZE rAKER ONION.

are to mature, or they may be sown in
greenhouses or hotbeds and the young
plantlets transplanted to the rows in
the open ground. In sowing out Of
doors seeds should be put In as early
as possible in shallow drills three to
three and half feet apart and cover
ed with a half inch Of fine moist earth.
They need to be very carefully weeded
at first, but IL the ground is clean and
mellow and the rows straight the
wheel hoe will be able to take full
charge of the work early in the sea-
son. 1t has been repeatedly shown
that cheaper, better and earlier onions
can be grown by transplanting the
plants from greenhouses or hotbeds.

When the plantlets are as large as n
lead pencil. they are set four inches
apart in rows three feet asunder, and
cultivation Ia Immediately begun with
the wheel hoe. In growing from sets
the planting is made in much the same
way. Multiplier or potato onions are
similarly managed.
Prize Taker is probably the most
popular variety Of the present day.

as night follows day, by an exactly
equivalent sinking OF the spirits. II he
has been thoroughly and gayly drunk,
his recovery will be attended by cor

When n man has the blues, he ought
to consider that he is merely an ex-
ponent OF one of natures laws and that
he has no right to harass others with
complaints. Some men are not pleased
unless they communicate their unpleas-
ant moods to all about them. They be-

Didn'f Suit Warrington.

Until the early part Of the last cen
tury Milford. Conn. had a house in
which Washington was said to have
spent a night. 1t was In 1888, when
Washington made tour OF New Eng
land. Tradition says that there were
certain things about his stay at the
Milford tavern which he did not enjoy.
The supper set before him consisted Of
boiled meat and potatoes. He was not
pleased with the meal and asked for n
bowl Of bread and milk. The landlord
brought the new order and broken
pewter spoon with which to eat It,
Have you no better spoons than
this?" asked General Washington.
"It's the best | have in the house.
SIR" replied the host.
"Send me the servant" said his ex-
cellency. Here's shlllings. Go to the
minister's and borrow n silver spoon"
Tradition does not add whether he
got the spoon or not.

Soy Renna In Vermont.

A good many farmers seem exercised
nowadays over soy beans. The ver-
mont station has grown the crop in
small way for several years. It's off,
GERS do not, however, feel like recon-
mending its general adoption in this
state. Seldom IL ever can an amount
OF food be found equal to that which
may be produced In the corn crop with
an equal expenditure OF time, effort
and money. The forage from the soy
bean is richer, but the quality is more
than Offset by the quantity loss as
compared with corn. 1t Is readily
planted and Is handled throughout the
growing season much as is corn, but is
less easily harvested. 1t may be fed
green as n soiling crop or ensilaged
ulone or with corn. 1t may be planted In
the row with corn with fair prospect
of success. Indeed, on good soil this is
perhaps as good a way to grow 1t as
any, while burial in the silo with the
corn Is its fit and appropriate end. But
when all Is said II is felt that Vermont
is full far north for soy beans. II
tried at all, they should be grown in
small way at first. For Vermont
corn is king and clover queen. Alfal-
