You certainly look the part Of Con-
stance. Now please read her lines for
me-"
TREMENDOUSLY, almost doubling the
reality of it all, Kitty took the manu-
script. AS she read she forgot her sur
roundings, forgot the managers pres
enee, and became indeed the living,
breathing Constance. The beautiful
lines, tender, pleading, passionate,
gathered new beauty from her render
ing. The manager sat, at first inter
ested, then breathlesslyu she reach
ed her climax. Then, "By Jove, Miss
Burns. you'll do. Here's your con-
tract" was all he said, but 1t meant
volumes.
What need is there to tell Of Kitty's
New York debut? What need to tell
how she went on and on, from triumph
to triumph, until she reached the pin
nacle of fame? Men and women of
place and power, in this country and
abroad, even those of royal blood, bow
ed before her beauty and talent and
were proud to call her friend.
1t was the opening night OF the
Kings new theater in London All
London, including the king himself,
was present to do honor to the great
American actress, who was to create
the title role Of 'Deronda," the much
talked of new play.

whx Grass Crops Die Ont.


Whenever the grass seeding fails,
the blame is usually laid upon the
weather, but this is not always correct,
even in part Grass belongs to the
same botanical family as wheat, only
the grain has had a greater develop
ment Of it's seed.
All farmers understand that the
wheat crop needs phosphate to be
grown successfully year after year, on
the same land. To be sure, the soil IS
cultivated, and there is new seeding
with some manure each year for the
grain crop.
Yet farmers think that grass, with
our reseeding, and without new sup
plies of mineral matter, will continue
to grow. The result is that the grass
gradually dies out and is~1eplaced by
MOSES or other weeds of low Organiza-
ton that can live without mineral
plant food.
Not only is the amount Of grass less
ened, but its quality is also impaired
by lack of the mineral. On land that
has long been without phosphate cat
tie will not thrive, and cows which
give milk will take to the eating Of cid
bones to secure the mineral nutrition
they require.
Farmers who have learned that
ground bone is good to make hens lay
are apt to forget that the more bulky
COW has an equally wonderful opera
ton to perform. That is, to take from
her grass feed the nutrition required
to make milk, which is less concen-
trated than the egg, but contains very
nearly the same kind of nutrition.
When we began to use mineral MT
nures on grain, we found that the Sec
ond and third crops of grass seeded
with the grain did not pan out as they
used to do. 1t is far better to apply
the phosphat with the grain. The
grass seeded with it will get the eff
fects of the mineral fertilizing for at
least two years thereafter.

BRINGING in Weeds.

One of the commonest ways of
bringing weeds into a new country Is
to import them in screenings from
-four mills or from other mills that
clean grains and sell the screenings.
Probably none of our States have
law like that in the Northwest terri
tories of Canada, which prohibits the
sale of screenings except to feeders OF
sheep, and then under certain restric-
tons:
Screenings contain almost all kinds
of weed seeds, and from these they get
into the manure pile and are carried
onto the land and are placed in the
soil in the very best shape for grow
ing. Frequently the farmer produces
the weeds on one part of his farm, has
them screened out when the wheat is
thrashed and shovels the refuse into
the manure pile or into some place
from which it reaches the manure pile,
and is thence sent to all parts of the
farm.
There is vet another way by which
a little clump Of weeds in the hay field
1nay get to all parts Of the farm. The
weeds are cut with the hay and fed
at time the weed seeds are enough
matured to resist the digestive efforts
of the bovine stomach. They pass
through and out into the manure and
the next year start new centers of in-
fuence in all parts of the farm. A.
good deal of care needs to be eXerted
in this case. The greatest trouble is
that the farmer does not know the new
weeds till they have been thus sue
cessiveIy sOwn and reSoWn.

Places for a Little Manure.

and rough plowed this fall will do bet
ter work than IL all the preparation

example, are much helped BY pro-

lection of manure put on in the fall.
These are good places to put some of
the coarse manure, the fine portions Of
which will permeate the soil and be-
Of benefit to the plants in the spring.
Then there are the hardy perennial
plants and the shrubs, all of which
will be benefited by manure as SOON
as the ground is frozen some and there
is no danger of warm spell and the
manure melting the twigs to new
growth. In such places, however, the
fine, half-rotted manure should be-
used, not the coarse stuff which will
attract mice and result in the shrubs
being gnawed. Carry out these sug-
gestions about using little manure
this fall and notice the improvement
in the plants next summer.

It is suggestive to consider the re-
lations of Mexico to the new power IN
the Far East, remarks the Mexican
Herald. Mexican diplomacy early
made notably liberal treaty with
japan. and that convention has been
followed by a treaty with China. In
a word, Mexico with great sagaclty
prepared the way for useful relations
with the rising powers across the Pa
cific. One can imagine many new con-
ditions in the Pacific Ocean thirty
years hence; Japan, with a powerful
fleet, will insist on keeping balance
of power there, and China, led by ia
pan. will reinforce this demand. me
friendly Oriental nations will desire
the prosperity and independence OF
Mexico. a nation with racial base
similar. to theirs. Mexico opens her
doors to Oriental immigration, because
she needs labor, and can asslmllate
the Asiatics better than the northern
nations of the continent. Thus new
link is forged in the great chain which
wise diplomacy began. 1t is well that
Mexico should extend her friendships,
that she should enlarge her circle Of
relationships. She has her own deS-
tiny to work out.

The worlds commerce in the latest
wear for which statistics are available,
saws Harpers Weekly, as noted In the
annual report Of the Chief of the Bu-
reau of Statistics of the Department
of Commerce and Labor, shows the
total exports of all nations of the
world to be, in the latest year avail
able, s10,515, 100000, and the value OF
the total imports Of all nations, SILL
800 600 900. This would give the total
valne of the worlds imports and ex-
norts combined as $22,324, 100000; but
since all articles which were counted
as exports became in turn imports
when they entered the country OF des-
tination, it would appear that the ac-
tual value of the articles entering INTO
international commerce is, in round
terms. $1,000, 100000. The value OF
the articles forming the internal COM
merce of the United States is estlmat-
ed at about % billions of dollars In a
single wear. Thus, while 1T has been
customary to speak of the Internal
commerce of the United States as
equal to the entire international COM
merce of the world, it appears from
this statement that the actual vaiue OIL
the merchandise entering into the IN
ternal commerce of the United states
is practically twice as great as that
entering the international commerce
of the world.

Apples contain only seventeen per

half is sugar There is very little real
nutriment in apples, but what there is

Gilbert H. Grosvenor, in his article,
''The New Method of Purifying Wa
ter" in the Century, says: After we
have once sterilized a typho1d-1ntect-
ed reservoir, how can we prevent the
water from being invaded by more
germs coming down the stream
whence the first came? is the natural
question of the reader at this point.
We might repeat our dose every lew
hours, or, better yet, we might suspend
large sheets of copper at the intake
of the reservoir. The toxic action OF
the copper sheets would be strong
enough to prevent any live typhoid
germs from getting in. Of course, the
sheets would have to be kept clean;
any Shiny coating on their surface
would interfere with the toxic action
of the metal.
