prepared on the subject. The sewers will

sary manholes, syphons and accessories, to-
gether with one stream crossing and sewer
farm complete.
The avenues which will be selected for the
construction of the sewers are Niagara ave-
nue. from its intersection with Cumberland
avenue and Sligo; also Sligo avenue, from
Niagara avenue to Carroll avenue bridge;
thence across Sligo Branch to Sligo avenue
on the west side of Sligo Branch; thence
to that portion of Sligo avenue, which abuts
on lot 10, in block 80

glazed pipe cast iron pipe, brick and con-
crete and will be carried beneath the Sligo
branch all the necessary manholes to be
constructed of brick, cement, sand and
gravel or stone and cast iron tops.

Candidate in Last Nights Speech.

Governor Odell took up the matter OF
Judge Parker and the shipbuildlng COIL
bine in his speech at the Murray Hill Ly-
ceum in New York last night. He said:
For the first time in my recollection
democrat has seen fit to attack a Presi-
dent. l have stood the abuse heaped on
my head, but when find men parading as
trust busters when the contrary Is the
truth. I feel that it is not honest and Is
only being done to get your votes.

with trusts / know it, l know that Judge
Parker had $50 600 of shipbuilding stock,
and the reason / know 1t is because he
came to me and asked me to let him have
it 1 know it because l instructed my
agent to give 1t to him and he paid Tor II.

trust, and 1 will furnish the proof and do

burg A man who is attacking the trusts
ought to come into court with clean hands.
Roosevelt on the contrary, has been pull
ing down trusts. Honesty always wins, and
Roosevelt has 100 per cent of honesty in
his makeup.
Judge Parker has gone about in the last
few days dssailing the republican candidate
for President. | have stood silent when
abused personally, but when he impugns
the honesty and Integrity of Theodore

said to the detriment of the great and
courageous man who fills the presidential
chair today.

Study of termination.

Simple instruction in the principles of
termination will be made doubly interesting
by the object lessons which will be before
the children's eyes. The difference be-
tween the methods of termination Of
wheat and beans, for instance, will con-
vey an insight into the mysteries of ma
ture which could be but poorly taught
from books. AS the plants grow and
thrive under the tender care which they
are sure to receive at the hands of the
interested pupils those processes by
which the elements of soil and air are
utilized and converted into plant cells
will be explained by the teacher and alb
sorbed by the pupils, not only without
effort, but with pleasure.
THE highest aim of an educator should
be to educate the people, and all of them,
along lines of the greatest usefulness to
them and the commonwealth" said Secre-
tary Wilson He believes that this plan will
be the means of encouraging an interest in
agriculture and of laying the foundation in
many juvenile minds for more advanced
agricultural education. He anticipates that
it will have the effect of inspiring in the
farmers boy or girl an interest in farming
as q profession and of cultivating the habit
of close observation SO necessary to the sue
cessful agriculturist.
The demand for seeds last winter eX-
ceeded the supply. therefore. Congress in
CT eased the appropriation from $4,000 to

gressmen had their mails burdened with re-
cue SITS for garden seeds, and they impor-
tuned the Secretary of Agriculture for these
small packages rs much as they have the
President for patronage. The senators and
representatives from the south have been
mere urgent in late years than those from
other sections OF the country.
