To XIII Nut Grass.

A correspondent writes: MY half
acre garden is overrun with nut grass.
1t is old soil, dark and capable of
making good crops of there was no
nut grass. Is there any way to rid
it of the grass without unreasonable
EXPENSE"
There is only one way of extermi-
mating. nut grass without "unreason-
able expense" and that is to keep
some crop ahead of it for at least two
years. In the fall of the year some
winter growing crop should be start
ed. some crop such as barley or rye or
bur or crimson clover. AS soon as this
crop is off follow Immediately with
peas sown in eighteen or twenty-four
inch drills and cultivated two or three
times. Velvet beans would shade
the land even better than the
peas. When this crop is cut off
for hay follow with another fall crop.
The thing is to keep a shading crop
on the land for two or three seasons
until the constant smothering weak
ems the nut grass and ultimately de-
Stroys it.
A like rapid rotation of some garden
crops can also be used to advantage on
nutgrass land. For instance English
peas sown in December, and when this
crop is out of the way follow with
potatoes or any crop that will soon
make a dense shade.
Hogs or geese penned upon nutgrass
infested flats or fields will destroy
the grass in the course of time but
this suggestion is out of place for
these who have neither hogs nor geese.
Close rotation and rapid cultivation
of crops that quickly shade the soil
must be the common remedy for
the pest of nut grass.

PRESS BOAT 'FAWAN
HAS BEEN RELEASED.

New Chwang, April 3.-The press
boat Fawan, placed under arrest yes
terday, was released to-day by order
of Gen. Kuropatkin. The Fawan was
detained because she had passed be-
tween lines, having come indirectly
from Chemulpo. She was released on
condition that she leave port.
Her release was brought about who'll
ly by United States Consul Miller, who
has the confidence of the Russian au-
thorities. Though of British owner
ship, the British consul declined to act
in the case of the Fawan.
The release of the Fawan Immediate
ly before the case was forced upon the
cognizance of the British consul con-
tributes to the amelioration of new
situation which has arisen in the past
two days through the arrest and deten-
ton for some hours of a British con-
ductor of the Chinese railway at sta
ton on the west side of the river out
side of the port limits. This incident
together with the detention of the Fa-
wan, has prolonged the stay of the
British gunboat Espiegle, which is in
terpreted by some as a British recon-
sideratiOn of Russian jurisdiction over
Niu Chwang as provided in the declar-
alton of martial law.

The decorations at st. Johns Church
We're particularly effective and en-
blematic of Eastertide. on the reese
dos ehancel and altar lilies and roses,
intermingled with spring blossoms and
vines were artistically arranged, and
the window lodges We're banked with
flowers. The pulpit and font We're
rich with roses and lilies and every
spot about the chancel was decorated.
The music, which had been arranged
with great care, was particularly in
spring. The chants and anthems
were by the surpliced choir. The Of
fertory was "Hallelujah! Christ is
Risen"
Rev. Charles H. Strong preached on
the Resurrection of Christ" from the
text found in The Acts seventeenth
chapter), What will this babbler say?
because he preached unto them Jesus
and the resurrection" The discourse,
which was listened to by a congrega-
ton that completely filled the church,
was eloquent and at times almost dra-
matte in its climaxes. Mr.. Strong
took occasion to thank the congrega-
ton for the Easter offering he receiv-
ed.
During the service two hymn tab
let's, memorials to John NJ. Guerard
and Alfred Haywood, both prominent
members and vestrymen of the
church, were consecrated. In the
service the rector alluded to the pre-
sentation of the memorials. They are
erected, one on each side of the chan
eel, nearly in the rear of the pulpit
and lectern. They are in brass, hand
somely bent and cast in ecclesiastical
designs and appropriately inscribed.

Christ Church.

The sanctuary of Christ Church was
beautifully decorated. The altar it
self was profusely decorated with
white lilies of different varieties,
standing out against a background of
green composed of palms and other
potted plants.
To the right and left of the altar,
within the sanctuary, were large
branches, covered with the spring
blooms, and extending up for nearly
half the hight of the dome above the
altar. The wide variety of flowers,
nearly all of which were pure white
with delicate shadings of pink, made
a very pleasing appearance.
Here and there about the sanctuary
were bouquets of roses and many
large Gala lilies, adding greatly to the
beauty of the decorations. Directly
before the altar was large cross, its
dark green background setting off the
clusters of pure white roses with which
it was covered. The cross was set in
a base of greenery, surrounded with
flowers, and just before it was
snowy white pillar, supporting a floral
Tyre. The cross was in memoriam of
Miss S. A. Gordon.
The services at the church in the
morning were conducted by the rector,
Rev. Robb White. At IL a. m. there
was a sermon and holy communion
was solemnized. There will be COM
munion service at 10 o'clock to-day and
tomorrow.

Yesterday afternoon the Sunday
school of Christ Church held it's special
Easter service. Uniting with the

US" was beautifully rendered.
The Apostles creed was said, after
which the carol. Beyond the Starry
Skies was rendered. This was follow
ed with an Easter address, dealing

RUSSIANS LOOK FOR
A WAR WITH CHINA.

st. Petersburg, April 3.-The Russky
Viedomostfs correspondent at the
front says that Russians livin~ III
Manchuria discredit the Pekin govern
ment's observance of the declaration of
neutrality. Every Siberian settler and
every Russian soldier believes there
will be war with China The settlers,
VINO are bitter against the Chinese, as
well as the Japanese, say things must
now be settled once for all, or few
years hence new troubles will arise.
Regarding the declaration of martial
law at New Chwang, an official of the
Foreign Office is thus quoted by the
NoVosti
There is no question of Russia's
right to declare New Chwang in a state
of siege. This is purely an internal
Russian affair We need no approval
of our actions in this matter, nor will
we notice any protests if made, which
is highly improbable. Manchuria was
declared to be the possible scene of
war ana wherever our troops are we
have the right to act as we think best.
We have a garrison at New Chwang,
and, consequently, can take any steps
there we think necessary"

pinned it upon that of Capt. Stepanoff
of the Variag. who had seen service

stop off in order that they may too,
show their appreciation of their brave
conduct
