OF whom this engraving Is q betit-
ting likeness, is a lineal descendant Of
that old Puritan stock whose moral,
social and religious influence has done
50 much to shape the social aspect Of
three-fonrths Of the states Of the Tn
Ion Yet, In his life experience be Isl
as though he had been born OF an en-
tirely different lineage. His parents
were natives Of the state OF Massachu-
setts. AT an early day, before the
subject OF this sketch was born, his
parents, Jacob Hitchcock and wife,
entered the service Of the American
board Of commissioners for foreign
missions, and came TO the Cherokees
sometime III the latter part Of the pos
in the last century. These Cherokees
al that time lived on a reservation
down hi the southern part of the state
OF Arkansas. On this frontier arena.
amid the wilds Of nature, and IN a
community Of uncultmed Indians, the
subject OF TINS sketch was set afi0at
upon the uncertain waters OF time.
The example Of his parents kept be-
fore him at home the IDEAS Of old Pu-
ritan reetitude. But as soon as he
passed, during the day. a few PAGES
beyond the parental do0rs-steps, he was
launched into the midst q the rough
Influences Of Indian society. Fis
character Is, therefore. an interesting
result Of the two eontrasted extremes
OF human culture. lie Is Indian In
sentiment and largely 50 In habits Of
thought and address, and at the same
time this pleasing feature Of the nat
ural man IS lighted up in character
with the bright and cheering radiance
Of Yankee yiyacity and self confidence.

the wires and would give additional
strength. II wire is used, it will prove
most satisfactory If kept tight.
The nest boxes are made of one-half
inch lumber They are liz inches

deep. The bottom is made to project
six inches, providing a step for the
hens to aligtt on. The space above
the boxes would depend partly on
the breed of poultry, but with boxes

New Sugar Plant.

The Agricultural Department Is in
quiring into the statement of Consul
General Guenther that a new plant has
been discovered in South America that
promises to supplant the sugar cane
and the sugar beet. The plant contains
large amount of saccharine matter
and a high percentage of natural sugar
properties which are easy to extract.
1t is said to be easily cultivated in
climates like those of the southern por-
ton of the United States. According
to experiments made by the discoyerer,
the director of the agricultural insti-
tute Of Asuncion, this plant is said to
yield 4 sugar wAich is from twenty to
thirty times as sweet as ordinary cane
or beet sugar.

Something About the SC enlist and the
Food Problem.
The greatest of all Prof Nobbe's
work is bis remarkable discovery Of
a method for inoculating the soil with
bacteria to make it yield richly where
it lay barren before. In times past
Investigators of soil ard pant culture
devoted their attention largely to study
ing the composition of various kinds Of
soil, TO the improvement Of fertilizers
and in suggesting new systems %
drainage and wafer supply. Prof.
Noble has gone step farther in adj
vance, declaring that plants viii grow,
under certain conditions. just as well
without soil as with soil. At first
glance this may seem strange enough,
yet here are trees, from eight to ten
inches in circumference at the base
of the trunk, growing in clean water,
without a sign OF soil of any dascrip-
ton. They stand in rows just back
of the Forest Acad my ana neeT Prof.
Nobbe's greenhouse. Each tree is sus-
pended in a large glass jar surrounded
by green-painted case When this
case is opened one may look through
the glass and see the roofs of the tree
hanging there in clean water The
Oldest of the trees was planted, or rath-
er the seed was immersed in water,
in 1878, and it has grown to full size
without even touching soil Leaves and
blossoms have come in the spring, and
in the winter the water and the roots
have frozen solid all these years, and
the tree still tbrives. Indeed, some of
it's seeds were Immersed in water, and
trees of the second generation have
been grown to considerable size. Then
their seeds were immersed, and there
are now growing small trees three gen
erations removed from the soil-cer-
tainly clear proof of Prof. Mobiles as
sertion that actual contact with soil is
not essential for plant growth. In or
der to produce such results, however,
it was necessary to keep the trees sup
piled with artificial food. This Prof
Noble prepared in his laboratory-a
certain definite amount of chlorate of
potash, sulphate of potassium, and
nitrate. A small quantity of this mix
ture was dissolved in the water of the
jars every four weeks. and thus the
trees have been kept flourishing all
these years, showing that there was no
element in the soil necessary to plant
growth that man could not manufac-
ture at will Magazine.

war party is growing in strength and is

Influential officials continue in their de-

connection it is noted that the Chinese
board of war has ordered the viceroys
to furnish full information as to the
number of foreign-trained troops availa-
BILE for active service.
The viceroys Of three OF the central
provinces have reported that 10000 such
troops are in readiness. This unques-
tionably is an exaggeration, MS the great
majority of the foreigD-trained troops
exist only on paper.

shown by the Chinese in making warlike
preparations, under the guidance Of a
