So

would not be supposed that such
frailties or frivolities as romance or
fun could append to or hover about SO
solemn repository OF erudition as the
Smithsonian institution.
But here's story, all the same:
A few months ago one of the members
of the Smithsonian institutions scien-
tific corps went down to a little island
lying off the coast of Virginia to gather
certain specimens of the flora and fauna
thereof. What the flora and fauna were
the scientist went after makes no diff

He is young man of IS or some such
a matter, good-looking, and he hasn't

as-dust stage of the average scientific
mans career.

of Virginia, hereinbefore mentioned.

AROUND THE GARDEN.

The garden should be plat of ground
that drains we'll.
Manure for the garden should be well
rotted and free from seeds of grass or
weeds.
If the asparagus beetle appears in the
garden this spring, spray the plants with
hellebore.
Well rotted chip manure worked into
the radish rows will bring radishes to
the table early.
Beets require the land to be deeply
pulverized; hence, it is not out of place
to- plant them in ridges.
Where fruit trees have been injured by
rodents cover the wounds with q salve
made by mixing wax and rosin together.

FERTILITY OF THE SOIL.
Valuable Facts Boiled Down for the
Farmer During the Busy
Season.

The following brief facts are boiled
down from an article by Prof. G. G. Hop
kins of the Illinois College of Agricul-
ture on Fertility of the Soil:"
Different types of soil produce differ
ent crop yields under the same condi-
tions.-
Soils side by side, but cultivated diff
ferently for term of years, produce
very different yields
The same soil differs at different
times, according to its cultivation and
other treatment and lack of treatment.
One soil will produce 20 bushels of
corn, another 40 bushels. another 80
bushels
One soil is worth $50 an acre, another
500 per acre, another 5000 per acre
largely because of their difference in fer
tility or productive capacity.
Soil can be run down.
Soil can be improved.
The fertility of soil can be maintained.
It is worth money to know soils and
be able to improve them.
The study of soils is vitality connected
with profit and propriety in farming, the
greatest industry in Illinois.
Neither live stock nor clover, nor both
together, will maintain the fertility of
the SOIL
The only way: Preserve good physi-
cal conditions and then put back upon
the land all OF the fertility which is
taken off,
While there are ten essentials of plant
food, seven of them are usually supplied
i'll abundance, but nitrogen, phosphorus
and potassium are rather limited in
most soils. So the study of fertility is
practically reduced to the study of these
three.

THE END OF THE GRIP

Mr.. Newman certainly had a very

shows how profoundly grip poisons the
system and how obstinately it resists all

"The attack Of grip which I had eight
years ago left me in very bad fix. I

continually and was filed with kissing
and roaring sounds. My heart fluttered
and had regular running-away spells.

THE SUPERIOR COURT
The Stewart Case Continued UnsiI
 Wednesday Morning

The case against George o. Stew. art charged with criminal assault with intent to kill Beda Anderson in South- bury on July 25, has been continued to next Wednesday morning. At the close of the hearing yesterday Stew art was telling his side of the story. He maintains that he was a lodger at the Boys club the night of the day on which the assault is said to have taken place, and in this he is support ed by Mir Combellack, superintendent of the club.
 The case Is based mainly on the eyi- dence of New Haven detectives who traced Stewards movements from the time of the alleged assault to two or three days following. They failed io locate him about the exact hour of the assault and this. the detectives contend is the strong point in their case.
 Miss Anderson failed to identify Stewart as the man who attacked her. She said. however, that he looked like her assailant. That is her strongest statement against him. The assault took place on the highway It was dark at the time and she was knocked unconscious by blow on the head. When she recovered there were two wounds on her head and her clothing was torn. Several witnesses testified to seeing Stewart in the neighborhood of Southbury day or two before the assault.
 The case was continued to Wednes- day morning as Assistant States Att torney Kellogg. has other business for Tuesday.

IN THE POLICE COURT
Judge Burpee Said He Would Make Bond $l,0o0 If Appeal Was Taken.

Judge Burpee strongly intimated to-day that the district court does not do justice to some cases that go there from his court He had under consid- eration the case of Thomas Conaty, who was charged with being intoxi- cated and being common drunkard. He took an appeal to the district court and made such promises there to Judge Cowell and County Sheriff Durham that he was let go scot free. This seemed to irritate Judge Burpee this morning and 1t was upon his sugges- tion that Conaty was charged with being common drunkard. Conaty had nothing to say for himself only that he has been out of jail week. thirty days in Jail and for habitual drunkenness he was given 120 days. And in case of appeal" said Judge Burpee, T will fix the bond at $1,000."
 Another rounder though quite young in years, is James McGowan who was charged with intoxication theft of q rack of shoes, worth $4, from Charles Freed's store; and for having three previous convictions for theft against him. It was only yesterday morning McGowan was released from jail. When he came to town he was intoxl- cated and almost immediately after he appropriated the rack of shoes. His excuse was that he did not know what he was doing. For intoxication he was given thirty days in jail and for the previous convictions of theft he was bound over to the superior court un- der bond of $500.
 John Sheehy, 21, was charged with breach of the peace in striking Walter B. Cook, ,1a q boy of 16. Sheehy said he was taking a efFiend home and that Cook mocked him. Then he struck Cook. Cook denied mocking Sheehy. Sentence was suspended.
 For intoxication Edward Beaulac was fined ST and costs and Daniel Kil- loughey was sentenced to thirty days in jail.

 don't know" he continued, "why the city manifests such determination to
 keep that district in the background.
 1t IS but a short distance from some of the principal factories and person could live in that part of the town and work in nearby any part of Waterbury, and get to and from his place of en- ployment without much trouble. Land IS cheap over there and I feel certain that If the city government would give the place the attention it is entitled to 1t would build up quickly. I under stand they cannot get light, have no city water, no police protection and the Streets are left to care for them selves This is wrong. The money appropriated for public use should be expended with some measure of fair ness to all, but it appears this is not done unless the people do lot of shouting. l supposed the Improvement society was organized for just this purpose, but if so it does not seem to be carrying out its mission No more effective plan could be devised to turn the trend of population from district than neglect on the part of public of ticials and as soon as people suspect that this is being done it behooves those interested to be up and doing if they don't want to get lost in the shuff1e. Those streets on Grandyiew Heights and Ben Mohr should be talk en hold of by the city and the people encouraged to build there by lighting the way to the place and putting wa ter within their reach. The high ser vice has been put into the north end at large outlay. I don't object to that, but isn't 1t time to cease for time making a pleasure garden out of that part of Waterbury and do some thing in places that cannot make any headway until the city government lends a helping hand?" The man thought that South Brooklyn and Town Plot are getting the worst of the deal right along and said that things never would be different until some organized effort is made to call attention to the needs of these dis tricts. He wanted to know if the Town Plot Improvement society had gone out of business. If not, he wish- ed to suggest that they get after the city officials with a sharp stick.
