Counterfeit Art.

The arch@ologist who was chosen
some time ago to determine the authen-
tfcity of the tiara Of Soitapharnes, a
supposedly precious relic Of the Louvre
collection, reported that the tiara was
not authentic and that 1t was executed
by q Russian artist Of the name Of
RoukhomorslSy. The French govern
ment paid $4,000 for the tiara and
would probably be willing at present to
sell it at large discount.
While nobody over here is likely to
wish the French government any spe-
cial harm. IT must be more or less graf
flying to some OF the Americans who
have paid big prices for spurious works
OF art to be able to smile at the expense
OF people who are supposed to know all
about art and relics and such things.
It is claimed by experts that not more

An English farm laborer recently
died from blood poisoning, and his wild
ow brought suit for damages against
his employer under the provisions of
the workmen's compensation act. 1t
was shown that the deceased had suf-
fered an abrasion Of the skin on the
nape of the neck as the result of car
rying heavy bags Of fertilizer upon his
shoulders, and the Inflammation that
followed developed into blood poison
ing, the inference being that the wound
was poisoned by the fertilizing mate
rial
Although 1t did not appear that the
Employer had been unduly careless or
that he had imposed unnecessary risk
upon his employee, the court ordered
him to pay f150 (nearly $500 to the
widow and children Of the deceased
workman, and as an appeal was taken
he was ordered to pay the widow e.
month until tile matter was settled.
The case is Of interest to farmers gem
orally as showing the sweeping nature
of a law that would seem at first
thought to apply chiefly to factories
and other lines Of industrial effort far
removed from the farm. Rural New

A New Literature.

A new literature Is in process of de-
velopment. You often hear an intelli-
gent man or woman say, Il always
look in the back first" If you carefully
seek the reason for this you will dis
cover that in the pages and pages Of
advertising in the back of the maya
zines is to be found, not only much that
is instructive, but much that is inter-
esting and suggestive in a purely liter
airy way. The modern advertisement
is worth looking at, whether 1t Is the
sounding proclamation of some big cor
poration, with facts and figures both
weighty and impressive, or the light,
eye catching notice of some simple
trade or contrivance. All forms of lit
erary composition find place in the ad-
vertising pages history, story, verse.
Many advertisements measure up TO
the test Of good literature. In truth,
there is often an uncommon amount of
character in them. A word here or
phrase there is often singuIarly vivid
as local color" and behind many an
advertisement 1t is possible to see a
vigorous personality Bookloyer's Mag

A few years ago the processsof apply

Cultivator.
A large amount Of bordeaux mixture
is being used on the vines as a pre-
ventive against the blight or rust
that occasionally appears on the vines
early in the season, stopping further
growth and rotting the tuberss in the
ground. This mixture is composed of
lime and yitriol usually mixed with the.
paris green and applied in the same
manner. Many of our best farmers
have applied 1t for some years and
have advocated its use, but until this
season 1t has not been generally used.
Many looked upon it with suspicion.
But facts are stubborn things. Last
season where it was used the vines re-
manned green until killed by the late
autumn frosts. Other fields where it
was not used the vines were blackened
and dead early in the season and the
yield not more than one-half or two
thirds as great as the adjoining fields
where the mixture had been judiciously
applied.

READY FOR BUSINESS.

A Ring From Secretary shayv's Once
and the Response Thereto.
One day recently when Secretary
Shaw was debating a letter the door
leading into his Office suddenly swung
open, and there stood man with A
caliber Colts revolver in his hand. The
weapon was about d foot long and was
loaded with cartridges the size of a
mans thumb. The mans finger was
on the trigger, and he seemed ready for
business. 4 friend of the secretary
was sitting in the office. and it seemed
to him that there soon would be some
thing doing"
But there was no shooting. The sec
retary looked curiously at the intruder,
and the next instant the latter was
apologizing.
Did you ring?' he asked.
"No," replied the secretary.
''The signal went off downstairs, and
! thought you rang. Excuse me, sir
"All right" said Mr.. Shaw. And the
man with the gun retired. He was a
member Of the treasury watch. Acct
dentally the alarm connecting the cap
tain's room and the secretary's desk
was sounded, and he had hastened up
stairs to defend Mr.. Shaw against a
possible assailant.
There is pearl button at the end of
an electric wire at the secretary's ell.
bow, and If he needs assistance against
assault slight pressure will bring the
treasury guard to his aid. This con-
trivance was installed three years ago,
after Frank I'll. Morris OF Cleveland.
the war department auditor. was as
sassinated in his office by disgruntled
clerk. Lyman J. Gage was then the
head of the treasury, and Frank A.
Vanderlip was an assistant secretary.
Threats were uttered against both OF
them, and they Immediately prepared
for any contingency. Each was given
a big revolver, which reposed on d liz
tie shelf upon the lid of his desk, and
then the desks were connected by cleo
tric wire with the Office of the captain
of the guard. But no one ever offered
to molest either official, and their sue
cessors likewise have been free from
annoyance Cleveland Leader.

CROWNS Renee po.s.


Much interest is being manifested IN
the growing of timber trees on waste
lands in various parts of the country.
Many are recommending the catalpa as
rapid growing tree. 1t is a rapid
growing tree. but in our experience the
ravages of the catalpa caterpillar make
its culture rather uncertain. This IN
sect may not be plentiful In all parts OF
the country, but with us they defoliate
the trees every summer and check the
growth to such an extent as TO make
them worthless for posts. The best tree
we have ever experimental with IA the
yellow locust, known as black locust In
some sections. We have trees of this
species which In seven years from the
seed We're plenty large enough to make
good fence posts. Everybody knows the
value of the locust for posts. FOR there
Is no wood which lasts longer In the
ground. The trees can be thinned when
large enough for vineyard stakes or
other purposes, and little later anoth-
er thinning can be made FOR the man
ufactnre of insulating pins for tele-
graph and telephone poles, for which
this timber is almost exclusively used,
and the mills engaged in this manufac.
ture are fast using up the natural
growth of the locust In the mountains
OF the Appalachian system. The locust
sprouts readily from the stump, and
the plantation will rapidly renew itself
IL properly thinned. Practical Farmer.

passage Of the Irish land bill by parlia-
ment that will put the old sod where
1t has belonged for years"
The bill referred to by Mr.. Cochran
was introduced by King Edward him
self and 1t is thought that the influence
of the brilliant Irish-American visitor
upon those high in English counsels
had something to do with the adoption
Of the measure. While enthusiastic
over the benefits which will accrue to
the Irish people through the new land
bill, Mr. Cochran modestly denies that
he had share in securing its adoption.
