happy of face. If there are many things
 unforgotten, it is yet true that British
 colonists and Boers are living side by side peacefully and with an outlook single to the development of the land.
 As to Britains future duty to the con- quered. country, the officer conceives 1t
 to be chiefly that of strict justice But
 he recommends the properly regulated introduction of Asiatic labor and the re- turn. for purposes of development, of the s30. .00O 600 assessed upon the Boers for war expenses. Tt means so little to the Brit ish taxpayers he says of this money.
 "but it would mean so much to the future of South Africa and thereby to the em- pire at large"
 The cost price to Britain or her
 triumph at arms in the Transvaal is high and still cumulative. If further trouble in Boerland ever menaces her in terests 1t will probably take political rather than warlike form. Surely she can afford to neglect no measures of jus tice and reasonable generosity by which 1t may be possible to win stout Boer hearts on the rebound.

The Boer Recovery from War.

Judged from the observations of a repa- triation officer who has recently toured
 South Africa and writes to the London Times what he saw. the Transvaal has passed further than Great Britain from the demoralizing effects of war. The Government centred at London has still it's dragging scandal of a war office that failed and of campaigns that were mis- managed.

 One woman. who was accustomed 10 using her own brain, made a dado around her dning-room of cornstalks placed up- right, and many of her guests who had seen corn all their lives discovered for the first time what beautiful blendings and dashes of color were in the hitherto despsed husks.
 If your scheme of decoration Is to be at all elaborate, the greatest assistance will be found in using woven wire netting in places where a solid effect Is desired, as sprays of leaves and large flower stems can be drawn through in any direction. Hoops covered with cheese-cloth or paper are also useful for foundations.

Orchard Grass.


 This fine grass has not received the attention that 1t deserves. It is one of our best grasses and grows to perfection over a very large part of the United States, especially in the eastern and southern states. This grass Is not so very particular regarding soils, but will grow on most any soil that Is rich enough in plant food to support it. However, like all other grasses. the richer and bet ter the land, the greater will be the yield
 Orchard grass comes earlier in the sea- son and remains later in the winter than do most of the grasses. It makes the very best of pasture for stock of all kinds. One of the most common reasons why more of this grass has not been sown is that many people think because of It's name. Orchard grass, 1t is fit only to SOW in orchards or in parks or shaded wood lands. This is a great mistake, for while 1t is no doubt, one, if not the best, of all grasses to SOW in orchards parks, and partly shaded woodland. It will grow equally well In the open fields.
 In the South.
 In the south 1t Is of the greatest im- portance to secure as deep rooted grasses as can be found, and this is one of the grand features of this fine grass It roots deep and so is able to withstand the sum mers heat and drouth. It will keep green and grow right along where many others would fail. Then, again, some ob- ject to 1t because of it's heavy set tufts. This, too, is strong argument in it's favor. as this enables it to shade the soil. Orchard grass makes fine hay and is grown largely for this purpose, yet no doubt. it's greatest quality, especially in the south, lies in it's value as fine pas ture. Orchard grass is perennial, so that it is of great importance to have the soil so well prepared before sowing that a good stand may be secured at once Then, as before stated, the soil should contain an ample supply of plant food to feed the young grass until it becomes well established.
 Good Seed Needed.
 Good. fresh seed. free from all foreign weed seed, should be used at the rate of twenty to twenty-five pounds per acre. It Is better to use plenty of seed at the start and get a smooth, even stand. Here is where many fail to grow clovers and grasses. They are too stingy with the seed in the beginning, and then, again, many farmers will buy cheap, second- grade seed. This is a great mistake; the very best tested seed should be used. Where clovers and grasses are sown so as to secure only q partial stand and where great vacant places occur no after work can remedy the matter or make the field look well.
 The weeds are almost sure to take all the vacant places and even if grass seed should be sown on these vacant spots, the first sowing will out grow the second. The better way, where a stand is not se- cured, is to blow up the whole field and start anew.
 Fall Season Best.
 The fall season is the best time for sowing this as well as all other grasses

4 CASE Of DAMNIN0 WITH FAM
PRAISE.

Among the humors Of the campaign
was the so-called Endorsement Of Car.
ter Ii. Harrison by the Cook County
Democracy.
1t was one Of the poorest pieces OF
perfunctory buncombe that has ever
been worked off upon the public for
the purpose Of working up campaign
sentiment in behalf Of political can
didate who sees and breads impending
defeat at the polls.
IL IL Is any consolation To Mayor
Harrison and his following of City
Hall job-holders they are welcome TO
IT,
Such an Endorsement no candidate
for office ever received, and In the eyes
Of the general public Is much more
calculated to damage and minimize
the chances of the payroll candidate
than to add 10 them.
As matter OF fact, the great ma
jOrity of the famous Democratic or
ganiZation stood ready 10 vote down
the proposed resolutions Of indorse'
ment, but refrained from doing 50
more out Of feeling OF contempt than
anything else,
Nobody in Chicago Is deceived by
last Sundays action as TO where the
Cook County Democracy stands, and
nobody who has paid any attention to
current events in the field Of politics
will he surprised to find on election
day that nine out Of every ten mem
beers Of the great Democratic club will
he opposed to the reelection Of Garter
H. Harrison on election day.
one Of the significant things about
the matter Is the fact that while the
club went through the form OF per
! functory Endorsement 1t will not turn
out and march for Harrison this year,
No attempt was made TO pass any
resolution calling on the Democracy

Tells United States That Russian op.

Washington, May 19.-The state de-
partment has been. made fully aware
of the obstacles which the Shanghai
treaty commissioners are meeting
with the Chinese in the effort to in
clude in the commercial treaties the
opening to trade of Manchurien towns
The Chinese, as stated in the Peking
dispatch, point out the impossibility
of this on account of Russian oppo-
sition. The accuracy of this state
ment, however, is denied by the Rus
SLAMS themselves. M. Paul de
Lessar, the Russian minister
to Peking, who has been
absent from his post of duty for some
time, is now returning to Peking. His
arrival there is now awaited with some
interest, as it is expected that he will
be able to speak authoritatively on the
subject of Russias position and thus
clarity the situation somewhat. Mean
time the United States, wishing to
secure additional. port facilities for
American commerce in Manchuria,
will continue to exert it's efforts to
bring about that result.
