La necesidad de establecer nuevos

Los terrenos adecuados para Ell cu1ti-
vo de la vid son todos aquellos que per-
miten rrofundicen sus 1aices hasta po-
nerse al reparo de los rayos solares: I'm
subSuelo franco.
Los terrenos de aplicacion al cultivo
Sc dividen en- dos grupos: terrenos CON-
pactos y terrenos suetos.s
Las tierraS que contienen meaos ar
ella son las mas francas y mas aptas
para Ell cultivo de la vid, por que Sc Ia
bran trabajan con facilidad.
Prescindiremos de ana1sis de terre-
nos, que son costosos y dif1ciles, y di-
relnos que en- Ia practica Sc forman de
|esos dos grupos. tierras arcillosas, cali
zas, areniscas, volcanoes y gran1ticas.
En- las tierras coloradas, algo sueltas,

La mendicidad callejera es
una verdadera llaga del organis-

deben evitar con todos sus alien

miserias Y deformidades.
Establezcase una indagacion
minuciosa de los origenes rela-
tivos de la delincuencia y Sc We.
ra que Ia mendicidad, como esta
ahora organizada, contribuye
con una importante cifra a la
fatal estadistica de todos los de-
litos.
Hay razas de mendigos como
las hay de heroes, de artistas, de
marinos, de comerciantes.
La mendi~ldad Sc ha CONVEX

Los verdaderos necesitadOs no
son esos que Sc aprenden, con
gangueos que quieren ser con

dir limosna.
La mendicidad prostituida sc

La Sociedad de damas protec-
tOra de los mendigos, ha casi re.
suelto el pavoroso problema de
la mendicidad.
Para dar un paso de incalcu-

De este modo, la municipali-

STORY OF THE MUTINEERs
Firemen of the Eastlaud Say They Were
Fed on Swill that Was Only
Fit for Hogs.

Benton Harbor, Mich, Aug. 21.-Ac-
cording to the story told by Glenn
Watson and Elwood Fleming, who are
confined in jail on the charge that they
mutinied while hired as fremen on the
steamer Eastland because they were
not given mashed potatoes, the men
were justified in objecting to the man
mer in which they were fed. They al
lege that they were sometimes given
sWill, and that this was served as it
they were hogs.
For some time" they say, 1--WE had
been unable to swallow the stuff set
before us, and we literally starved.
Meat was placed ON our table covered
with -four; gravy was so rotten that
one of the men became nauseated while
at the table The potatoes were full
of SCOT and dirt, and the soup which
we had sometimes could hardly be
eaten for the grease We afterwards
found out that our meals were CLEAN
ings from the passengers tables, and
SO this partly accounted for the
filthineSS"
