The Outlook For History.

History must be human, making its
final appeal not as a monument of cru
dition, but as @ masterpiece of art, in
which the collective deeds and pas
sions Of men shall be not merely pic
tured with Photographic accuracy, but
vitalized and interpreted. Let us not
suppose that this is a new aim. The
great historians have always held it.
The idea that Thucydides and Tacitus
neglected to consult all the material
available in their time il ludicrous.
Gibbon knew his sources" as pro.
foundry as the impeccably correct Gar
diner. Mommsen, we may be sure, had
not, like Stubs, a body Of evidence
which he dared not explore. The mas
ter historians In the future, by what
ever method they may work, will prove
themselves to be akin to these In In
sight, In power and in art-W. r.

Washing In Naples.

Washing in Naples is done in any old
tub, barrel or dish and generally out
side Of the house, and by the amount
of water used one would Judge it to be
scarce. Instead Of a board a broad
stone Is used, supported by n stick
underneath and the edge of the tub.
Water is cold, and the clothes are
hung out to dry in every conceivable
place. l saw some towels hung out
of a window in the palace. No clothes
pins are used. When one can afford 1t
rings are strung on to the line; other
wise strings are tied to strings, to
which a double piece Of short string is
tied; one corner Of the article to be
dried is slipnoosed into this and never
becomes loose.-Chicago Tribune.

Supt. Dickinson EXP. Station.

Supt. L. r. Waldron:-The Dickin-
son Sub-Experiment Station will be
glad to receive inquiries regarding
plants, seeds or insects. If information
is wanted in regard to any noxious
weeds, grasses, suspected poisonous
plants or in fact any native or intro
duced plant, the station will willingly
undertake to furnish such information
upon receipt of the plant and a state
ment by the sender Of what is desired.
The same statement applies to any
grain or grass seeds suspected of con-
tanning %noxious weed seed. The seed
will be examined and the sender noti-
fed of any foreign seeds and their prob
able injury. The station will also test
seeds in regard to their termination
powers if desired. Any inquiries in re-
gard to injurious insects and the
methods of treatment will be gladly
answered as far as possible. Informa-
ton will also be given in regard to forage
plants, farm crops and trees but of
course the station has as yet very little
experience along these lines from which
to draw. The foregoing indicates some
of the ways in which the station can be
of value to the people. The branch sta
tons at Brandon and at Indian Head in
Canada received last year over 10000
letters, the most of which were requests
for information along the lines sugges-
ted above. Address communications to

ALFALFA AND ROOF NODUlES.

Nature Hes Been Storing Nitrogen in form
ofnumus In North Dakota Soil for Thou.
sands of Years, bot our People are Very
Careless in their Farming Methods aid
Will Soon Wear out the Rich Soil Unless
They Correct Their Ways.
There is on display at the Dakota.
National bank, two samples of alfalfa
roots taken from the Dickinson expert.
ment station plots. One sample Of roots
bears nodules or tubercles having a
diameter of one-tenth inch or less while
the other sample has none of these
nodules. .As these nodules are Of the
highest importance to the alfalfa plant.
and as without them alfalfa is of no
more value than an equal amount of
grass, they naturally command some
attention.
The framework of the nodule is really
a growth of the root and in the nodule
are found vast numbers of excessively
minute organisms known as bacteria or
microbes. These bacteria are found
naturally in the soil and under certain
conditions or in certain localities they
attack the root of the alfalfa plant and
make it their home. increasing in mum.
bers and causing the nodules to de.
velop.
What do these bacteria or microbes
do for the alfalfa? They take the free
nitrogen gas from the air and uniting
it with oxygen form nitrates. An ex
ample of a nitrate is chilli saltpetel
which Is sodium nitrate, or common salt
peter which is potassium nitrate. Afte1
the bacteria have formed nitrates in tn.
alfalfa plant, the alfalfa uses the nitrate'
as plant food and these nitrates arr
later formed into the proteids or lea,
meat elements of the plant. In short
the alfalfa obtains its nitrogen from tn
air by means of the bacteria in tn,
nodule. or, as we say, by means of tn
nodules. 1t may be we'll to state her
that other plants besides alfalfa Obtain
their nitrogen in this peculiar manner
Such plants are. for example, tn
! clovers, peas, beans, and indeed al
members of the clover family, includin
! many of our native prairie plants. An
one can observe these nodules by dig
!. ging up a bean or a pea plant from tn
garden and carefully washing the roo,
f, and observing them as they float in tn
water.
Y All OF our grains must take their nitro
+ gen in the manufactured state or in til
form of nitrate. The farmers of til
y far eastern states feed their nitrogen

North Dakota farmers depend upe

Every seat in the big Auditorium
was occupied yesterday afternoon at
the special meeting conducted for men
by Fred B. Smith, international secre-
tarv Of the Y. NJ. G. A. The meeting
was a remarkable one, and the speaker
electrified his audience with his elo-

all men to accept the salvation of the
gospel.

prayers were offered by Rev. Messrs.
w. H. Jordan, A. B. Marshall and
L. M. Waterman. and the benediction
was pronounced by Rev. c.. r. Hubbard

Minneapolis association, introduced the
speaker of the afternoon.
Mr., Smith chose for his text Mark
X, Z, dealing with the life Of the young
man of wealth who came to Christ anG
asked by what means he might gain
salvation. In the application Of the
cation was not necessarily to only the
young man Of great wealth. but that il
also applied to any man blinded to thu

WILL LECTURE ABOUT
THE SCIENCE OF LIFE

In hearing Mrs. Craigie, or "John
Oliver Hobbes," as the literary world
first knew her, the patrons of the ALL
Star course who attend her lecture at
the Auditorium Wednesday night, will
have the unusual pleasure of listening
to a gifted authoress who is also a
brilliant platform speaker.
Prior to beginning her American tour
she lectured at the Philosophical insti-
tute in Edinburgh and the University Of
Birmingham, on "The Artist I4ife,'
taking Balzac. Turner and Brahms for
illustrative subjects. On another occa-
sion she lectured on Dante and Botti-
celli before the Dante society, of which
she is prominent member. and this
year she became president of the Rus
kin society, in succession to Lord Ave
bury. Upon each of her public ap-
pearances as lecturer she was such a
success as to bring her to the attention
OF American lyceum managers, who
have long been on the lookout for wo-
man OF letters who was also possessed
OF a stage presence and the requisite
magnetism. Mrs. Craigie has these, in
addition to most charming person
| atty.
Attic her work has been done al
| most altogether in London, she is an
| American by birth and first saw the
light in Boston, On her father g side
| she comes from stock associated with
the law, the church and banking: Da-
vid Dudley Field and Judge Field Of
the supreme court at Washington are
! her near relatives, while on her moth
, er's side she is a great-granddaught
of Pater Spearkater, who fought under
Napoleon and represented Selborne at
the colonial parliament at Halifax for
twenty-five years. .-... 49,. .-..r
Mrs. Craigie's education has been
cosmopolitan. for her parents travelled
a great deal, and before she was 16
she had gained wide knowledge of
Europe, as we'll as America, altho it
was Parasite which the artistic ten.
permanent most often looks for its in.
spiration and satisfacton-thst made
abe greatest impression on her.
i For her lecture at the Auditorium
Wednesday night, Mrs Craigie has
chosen as a subject ''The Science of
Life-St. Ignatius, Wesley and Tol
stoi, one Of her most succ essful popu
lar lectures. It will be the only liter
airy number on the All-Star course and
will afford exceptional opportunity tc
/ judge from personal acquaintance OF
the authoress of "Some Emotions and
a Moral, !" School for Saints, - Rob
ert ORANGE "The Ambassador "The
Gods, Some Mortals and Lord Wicker
