A Defense of the Spanish Woman.

More awful rubbish is written about
the people, especially the women, OF
Latin countries than of almost any
thing else. Take them all, the spar
king daughters Of Andalusia, the no
bly, grave women Of the CASTLES, the
enchanting Valencianas, the rudy
checked women Of the Asturias and OF
Galicia, the robust and wholesome
Catalonians, the proud Aragonesas
and they make up national grouping
of women hard to surpass for charm
and verve.-Mexican Herald.

strategy, give their patrons an oppor-

ate competition. Contracts having
been duly signed by each, unknown
to the other, there was nothing left
to do but play. AS matter of fact,
neither organizations scored over the
other, but the festival directory
counted an average daily attendance
of over 100000 people.

ELECTRIC RAILWAYS.
Franchises for Rural Trolley systenas
Should Not BE Granted for
Long Periods.

Electric railways are not allowed
to carry freight in certain states,
owing either to state laws or to the
charters of steam railroads that give
the latter monopoly of freight
transportation. Wherever such laws
exist they should be repealed. The
trolley system should be Open to
freight as well as to passengers. We
consider this matter of the most ex-
traordinary Importance, and cannot
too strongly urge that whatever Leg
lslation is necessary to accomplish
this result be obtained without delay.
Articles published last season on tho
use of the electric railway for trans
porting farm produce, in western
New York, in Ohio and in Canada,
have given great impetus to the
trolley freight idea. Electric rail-
ways are being promoted all over the
country. 1t will not be long before
communication by trolley from the
country to the city will be well-nigh
universal in the more thickly settled
sections. All questions pertaining to
street railway franchises are there
fore becoming quite as important to
the country as to the city.
Officials in counties and in rural
townships should grant franchises
for electric railways only under suit
able restrictions to protect the public
interest. The duration of the fran
chise should be limited to a certain
number of years, and the charges for
nd Oh Il
be specified in the franchises as
granted. Care in the granting of
franchises for rural electric railways
will avoid many of the costly mis-
takes made by cities years ago in
giving away forever most valuable
franchises for the use of their streets
for railways, gas conduits, etc. 1t is
inevitable that the great majority of
the local trolley lines now in oper-
alton and in prospect will in time be
consolidated into few large sys-
TENS, just as is being done with the
steam railways. While the conyen-
fence of electric transportation is de-
sired in rural districts, as we'll as in
the cities, it is of grave consequence
that all contracts, franchises, ETC.,
for these new railways be granted
under conditions that win conserve
the public welfare in the future.
No franchise should be granted for
longer than 20 years, at the end OF
which time the township or county
should be entitled to acquire the
railway upon payment of fairly ap-
praised value of tracks and equip
ment.-Orange Judd Farmer.

Liquid Manure for Plants.

One reason why liquid manure is
so much advocated is it's genuine eff
ficacy. This is good time to speak
of the matter, for the reason that the
blooming season of pot hyacinths and
other bulbs is at hand, and these are
much benefited by frequent doses of
liquid manure. A convenient form to
apply is to take three-inch flower
pot full of COW manure and mix it in
a large garden can of water. Dilute
this by the same amount of fresh wa
ter, and apply twice a week. An ounce
of nitrate OF, soda dissolved in four
gallons of water is said to be quick
and good liquid stimulant for bulbs.
In applying liquid to bulbs the time
to begin is when the pots are filed
with roots and flower spikes are Wis
ible.-Cincinnati Commercial Tribune,
