MIDSUMMER FARM WORK.

Rotation is a decided source Of fer

Good manure is better than boughten
fertilizer.
Don't hurry; take time to do youi
work right.
There is no weed more injurious to a
crop than neglect.
Don't stop hoeing in midsummer and
let the fields seed themselves with bur
dock, purslane. golden-rod, etc.
II you desire TO rid land of sprouts.
once and for all time, grub thoroughly
during August But If you prefer a
yearly lifetime task. grub at any other
season.
You will obtain higher prices from
buyers II your farmyard and buildings
are kept in good order. Defects are
expected in products from carelessly
kept farms.
Keep land busy with cowpeas among
the corn. As soon as the corn and peas
are harvested, rye or some winter grow

school. He may still be uncertain In
literature and vague in spelling, but
he is rapidly learning gentle manners.
He came slouching out OF the woods
one day and advanced directly Oh the
district schoolhouse. Some Of the
children had eaten their luncheon on
the grass in front Of the building. The
bear stopped and licked up the crumbs
and scattered remnants OF the repast,
and then stuck his head In at the
schoolhouse door.
The children and the school-teacher
screamed. and the big fellow was so
frightened that he took to his lumber
Ing heels. The next day, however. he
came TO the schoolhouse the same
hour, and ate the crumbs and crusts
as before. He looked at the school
house door. but did not venture there
After he had eaten every morsel he
went slowly back to the woods
His visits soon became OF daily reg !
ularity. and as It was evident that he
came with no evil intent. the teacher,
and now and then a pupil took TO
tossing him an apple or a bit of lunch
con. From that to feeding him out Of
their hands was an easy step, until
now the bear has almost quartered
himself in that school district. and
lunches regularly with the Sanders
Mill school children and their teacher.

Among the many mechanical inven-
tlons that help save the up-to-date
farmers time and labor, there are few
things OF greater utility than set Of
self-locking pulleys. For stretching
fence wire. for doing the otherwise
heavy and inconvenient lifting of

the whole effect of this great cataract be marred by an unsightly lattice-work of iron girders just in front of it, but a great part of the fine timber and lux urious undergrowth which add so much to the beauty of the scene is being ruth lessly cut down for mechanical or other purposes. It is said that none of the di- rectors of the Chartered Company at home has ever been to the falls or sus- poets the danger involved in leaving the selection of the route entirly in the hands of the engineers and contractors. At present the railroad has not passed beyond the Wankies coal fields, so there is yet time for slight alteration to be made in the plans for its extension. But unless speedy and vigorous protest is made, it is to be feared that one of the worlds greatest wonders will never be seen again after this year in the full perfection of its beauty.
 The protest ought to be made. By and by people will go to Africa to see it and they will want to see the falls as they ought to be.

They are political reform CTS, great philanthropists, teachers of the loftiest idealism, worthy descen- dants and representative of the stock that produced Isaiah. Another lot of immigrants, the Russion Jews have been flung bruised and bleeding on our shores; but they have quickly recov- cred themselves and are pressing their predecessors. Any man who will ride down Broadway can notice that names of Russian Jews are appearing on stores which give every appearance of strength and stability. The Russian Jew children who fairly choke the streets of the East Side are incredibly anxious to wiring the last dron of knowledge from their teachers. They read newspapers, they crowd the libraries, they fill the settlement clubs. Twenty-Five years from now they, too, will be among our financial, intellectual, and moral leaders.-New York Post.

STILL ROOM.

There is still room at the top. So says one who has been there. Grover Cleveland in his Chicago speech gave other folks boys encouragement and didn't encourage his own boy to con- sider the presidency the pinnacle ot success. Said he: am great stickler for higher education, but want to tell you this: The opportunities to-day are greater than ever for boys to get a practical education-an industrial edu- cation-and I would rather my own boy grew up able to build great bridge like the Brooklyn bridge than to re- ceive the highest honor that the people could bestow upon him. I hate to hear persons talk in pessimistic strain, to the effect that the day of opportunity in this country has gone by and that the chances for a young man to rise by his own efforts have passed away. It is not true. There is room at the top and there always will be.
 It certainly is big thing to be a great bridge-builder, but perhaps most people in this country will consider it greater to be President. So it is not likely that the small boy will be gen. erally told that if he is good and in- dustrious he may some day be bridge builder. The presidency will still be good enough for most peoples boys.

TIME TO PROTEST.

Business is business and modern progress is modern progress, but they ought not to be carried quite as far as it has been planned to carry them in Af- rica. Warning is given that unless something is done quickly to prevent the vandalism. the scenic effect of the Victoria Falls, on the Zambesi. one of the most superb productions of nature, will be ruined by the contractors who are building the railroad which will car ry future travellers to that neighbor- hood. For no particular reason that can be discovered. the engineers and con- tractors are making preparations tc carry the road across the zambesi inn mediately below the falls. Not only will

JAPAA,S NAVY.

Japan isn't as near a fight with Rus sia as she seemed to be awhile ago, but she is ready. She is especially relying on her navy, which showed what 1t could do in the defeat of the Chinese fleet in the battle of the Yalu river. Since then new ships of the latest types have been built. principally in British shipyards. until now instead of thirty thousands tons of shipping, as at the close of the war with China, Japan has new navy aggregating two hundred and fifty thousand tons. consisting of six tirst-class battleships, one second class battleship, two coast-defence ves- seis, six first-class cruisers, ten second class protected cruisers, eight third class protected cruisers, nine un- protected cruisers, one torpedo ves- sel. seventeen torpedo boat destroy CTS and sixtv-seven torpedo boats. Be- sides these, there are in process of con- struction three protected cruisers, two being of the second class and one of the third class, two torpedo boat destroyers and eighteen torpedo boats.
 And this isn't all. Japan has attend ed to the matter of shipyards and ar-
 senals. These already are so we'll equip
 ped as to be capable of turning out
 protected cruisers and all kinds of tor
 pedo craft. and it is expected that the
 gun factory and armor-plate factory will soon be ready to commence work
 Japan, therefore, should before long be
 able to build it's own warships of every
 kind as well as repair and refft them
 Great pains also have been taken tt train the officers and men of the Navy until they are believed to compare very favorably in professional requirements | with those of other nations.

MRs. GfLHooLEr,s cHARsEs,

The charges made by Mrs. Gilhooley,
 widow of a police sergeant in New York, against ex-Inspector Walter L. Thompson are making stir, and are likely to make more. Mrs. Gilhooley alleges that her husband when a
 roundsman stood highest on the eligible list for promotion to sergeant: that
 Thompson was his official superior and
 a personal friend for many years; that
 Thompson told Gilhooley that heading
 the eligible list would not secure him a
 promotion unless he paid $2,5OO to
 Thompson, such being the custom in
 the department; that Gilhooley had no
 money saved. having wife and three small children, but Thompson told him he could pay from the increased salary, if Thompson had security, and suggest ed an insurance for Thompson's bene- fit: that her husband assigned $20O0 insurance policy to Thompson's wife; that payments were arranged at the rate of S41 a month, and that she car
 ried the money to Mrs. Thompson, aI- though the payments were irregular and not made monthly according to the agreement. Gilhooley was killed last
 May in a saloon fight, and then, ac-
 cording to the affidavit and the records of the insurance company, Mrs. Thomp-
 son collected the insurance money. The widow protested, because it. left her penniless, and she says Mrs. Thompson told her, 'It's too bad, but you have the
 consolation of knowing that your hus-
 band was always a good man. l Mrs. Gilhooley's disclosures ought to help along the reform movement in New York city. They don't reveal any thing concerning ''the system" that wasn't known in general way, but they do call attention sharply to it. and 1 to the need of thoroughly breaking it | up.
