Whoever is responsible for the ori- gin of the tipping folly, the custom is so firmly established that to root it out will be matter of difhculty. Still 1t is not unpleasant to hear that the porters on Pullman cars, who are among the worst of this class.of high waymen, are going to form an organi- ZatiOn one of whose notices is going to be 'No tips" We shall be more sure of the matter after the organiza- ton has actually begun work, but it is happy sign that the porters have even gone so far as to project such reform. Every man who performs his work isentitled to his pay, but the pay should come from the employer, not from the customer. There is no rea- son why a man should be expected to hand out a dime or a quarter to the man who brings, the food to his table than there is that he should give an extra five cents to the man who serves him a glass of beer in a saloon. This system of robbery has not a leg to stand on. And the curious part of it is that the robbery might be stopped in minute if the robbed only wanted to stop it. The union that needs most of all to be formed is the union of peo- pie who give tips. The tipping folly is standing proof of the sad fact that the fools are not all dead yet. On the other hand they are as numerous as ever. 5s a.z 7..s. ....s.,,

Are Cruel to Cats.

We could name certain seashore re. sorts along the Atlantic coast, the abode through the long summer days of heaIthful recreation, of care free house. wives and the lightheartedness of para disc itself, which are the scenes of many a humble tragedy in the autumn, writes a contributor to Good House keeping. Here is the plain, unadorned fact: Many of the cottagers leave their pet cats to starve. Persons resid- ing in the vicinity the year round are witnesses. Sometimes the poor ani- malls are left locked within the cot tages, when the doors are barred and windows boarded. More often they wander the beach, wan ghosts of their old selves, picking up scant living from fish, until cold weather puts an end to +haiS Ys,icav~, &@.

MONDAY, AUGUST r, 1903.

Next May St Louis will be an edi- torial mecca. "A, number of state press associations have already voted to hold their annual meetings in the exposition city at that time and oth- CTS are expected to do the same. Many foreign journalists will be present and it is, altogether probable that the num- Der of newspaper men who will visit St Louis in the early spring will reach several thousand.

So far as MT Cleveland and MT Rrv- an are concerned says our Washington correspondent, we may as well elimi- nate them from the presidential possi- bilities Each Of these gentlemen has
 many admirers among the public men who visit the national capitol. Many men who have always been ardent ad- mirers of MT Cleveland since his first election as president, and who left the party with him in 1S96 and supported the republicans on the money question,
 have said that he is out of the run ming as a candidate next year on ac- count of the prejudice against the third term for any man. Many men 1896 and 1900 agree that he cannot possibly be called a candidate again. They still admire him for his man. hood, his brilliance of intellect, his ora tory, his steadfastness to principle and devotion to the cause of the people, but they admit that he cannot again be a candidate. They realize that the is- sues will not be the same next year and that the people have put the seal of their condemnation on some of the issues on which he twice led the party to defeat. They appear to realize that the chief issue next year will be one with which MT Bryan has not been suf-
 fciently identified-the trust issue-to make him an available candidate even If he had not been brought under tha

Baked Peaches.

This is a nice way to serve peaches when they are little too green and hard for eating uncooked: Gut them in halves, pare and remove the stones, place them in layers with smooth side up in deep earthen pie dish, with the bottom of the dish just covered with water; sprinkle sugar over the peaches and cover and bake in the oven until tender, but not soft enough to break. These may be served hot or cold with whipped cream or meringue. People, $ Home Journal.

Earth0uake at St. Louis.

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 17.-An earthquake shock which lasted for several seconds was distinctly felt in all parts of St. Louis yesterday morning. So marked was the seismic disturbance that many slumbering residents of the city jumped from their beds in fright and waited tremblingly for other and greater shocks. but they did not materialize.

Valuable Fruit Lists.

Many mistakes are made IN inc
planting of fruit trees because the
planters do not take advantage OF the
opportunities they have for the Sc
curing OF reliable information on va
rieties. Our state experiment stations
and state horticultural societies have
at great expense and after years OF
labor prepared lists OF the fruits that
are reasonably certain 20 do we'll on
the soils OF the state. One OF the
states. Indiana. has prepared this list
according 20 counties, and this Is a
very great help when the farmer Is
preparing 10 set out an orchard OF any
kind OF fruit. The lists are OF course
not complete. as II IS manifestly i'm
possible 20 include varieties that will
DO we'll In a part OF the state. but are
not certain 20 do we'll In all Except
where lists are fitted 10 suit counties
instead OF states. the varieties recon-
mended are such as will give good
results within the limits OF the state
for which they are made. In a state
like Illinois. nearly 400 miles in
length. the variation OF soil and eli
mate is very great. This has led the
Illinois State Horticultural Society TO
divide the state into three portions
known as the northern, the central
and the southern parts. For each OF
these three sections there is differ.

difficult problem TO handle when he
tries 20 choose between varieties. He
needs TO make careful and continued
inquiry. Especially must he study the
varieties that are grown in his neigh.
borhood. II there are any such.
The states differ enormously in their
fruit lists Thus east OF Indiana the
Baldwin IS found among the number
OF recommended varieties. OF II the
Ohio list says: "One OF the best win.

The realm OF agricultural knowledge

knows more than the farmer OF tho
past. and the farmer OF the future
must DO still more widely informed.
New facts are entering into our agri-
cultural problems. Geology even is
taking It's place In the curriculum OF
the learning farmer. Who would have
suspected that learning about goologi.
cal formations would help increase
the crops on n certain farm. Yet such
knowledge is proving both valuable
and gratifying TO the farmer To ~.

The soil survey In Illinois has shown
a few general types OF soil. which have

ciated soils have been found TO con.
tain an undesirable amount OF acid:
that Is. they are very sour. They are
all exceedingly deficient In nitrogen.
and this nitrogen lack cannot be sup.
piled through plants while the soil is
sour. as the nodule bacteria will not
live in acid soil.
But II Is an easy matter 20 euro
this acidity by the addition Of lime in

acre. II the soil is plowed 20 a depth Of

put the nitrogen into the SOIL the soil
must be lined. Had this been known
years ago, these soils would have
been treated as indicated and would
have been yielding profitable harvests
In fact many OF these lands that sell
for s25 per acre are declared by Pro.
fessor Cyril G.. Hopkins TO be as valu.
