Why Women Work.

There Is always a good deal Of talk
as to why some women prefer to earn
their own living rather than marry.
The wherefore might be discussed till
all of the disputants reached the chlor-
oform age and not get all the right
answers; but one reason Of it is that
some married women have a habit Of
talking. And in these little monologues
about their husbands they sometimes
turn the limelight on few hard facts.
One of them is that there are some
men-very often good men, too-who
provide their wives with enough to eat
and wear, but never allow them the
handling of single cent OF money.
One man, for instance, gives his wife
S. for shoes, but insists upon going
with her to she that she spends all OF
it for that and doesn't buy pair at
bargain and save little for matinee
that she couldn't see if she didn't
scheme for the price Of the ticket.-De-

The Close OF q Hot Day.

At last the glaring sun descends, then
sudden breeze fiutters the foliage.
light straws of dust begin to dance
in circles, first few steps, then a
fierce measure. The fairy fiddles are
still with dread. The valley darkens
in awful silence and clouds roll to-
gether on the rushing wind. Trees
bend and shiver and turn out the
white Innings Of their foliage. dogs and
poultry crawl into shelter, and wise
men shut doors and windows, for
lightning rides on the draught and is
sure to touch more than one Of those
trees or houses with its fiery sword.
The roar and flash are such rs England
never sees. A Niagara of rain, well
come though terrible, bathes the dry
earth, and soon the world, cooled and
moistened, sparkles in the setting sun.
Then people in light vehicles drive out
to taste the air, my young friends
come on horseback. and while we sit i'll
the darkness slipping iced lemonade or
sherbert the multitudinous voices of the
grass and leaves again rehearse their
symphony. From the distant pond
booms the heavy frog note, from over
hanging branches trills the contented
undiscoverable tree-frog. The myriad
grasshoppers tune up their wiry legs
and fiddle with fresh enthusiasm. The
stinging swarm Of mosquitoes sing
around a little lamp in the hall. Fire
flies flicker every where. We listen to
them and are idle.-Lippincott's Maga-

Alfalfa gives excellent satisfaction
when used as soiling crop, and as it
comes on early in the spring. it can
often be used in this way to great ad-
vantage. The first crop is more diff

from alfalfa. but corn and sorghum are
preferable for number Of reasons.
Generally speaking. alfalfa should be

prop.r direction Of Corn Rows,

An important matter that has never
been settled is whether corn rows
should run north and south or east and
west. Some contend that north and
south rows give the stalks more sun
shine; that run the other way the
whole field is more or less shaded e1-
cept the most southerly rows. Others
contend that the rows running east
and west give the rows the needed
protection against hot winds and burn
ing sunshine. Perhaps it would be bet
ter to disregard the cardinal points and
plant as indicated by the "lay Of the
land" unless the land is quite fat.
There Is more in the cultivation than in
the direction in which the rows are
laid off-Farm and Ranch.

Soil Ihoculation For Alfalfae

While many Of the principles connect
ed with soil incubation are not we'll
understood, it is generally recognized
as necessary to add cultures Of desira-
bic bacteria to soils where they do not
already exist. This may be accom-
plished in one or two years; either by
means of artificial cultures or by the
use Of soil from fields where alfalfa
has been grown successfully. Probably
the method of soil inoculation is the
most certain In fact. it has been tried
with uniformly good results. 1t is
very important to make certain that
the plants growing in the soil to be
used are we'll supplied with nodules.
Alfalfa does not produce nodules as
freely as cowpeas and soy beans. and
it will be impossible to discover the
nodules by pulling up the roots. To see
them it is necessary to take shovel
or spade and dig deeply into the soil,
lifting the roots gently and separating
the earth therefrom. The nodules will
appear as little whitish, rounded balls
on the feeding roots and occasionally
on the main tap root. Make certain
that the nodules are present in the soil
to be used as the medium Of inocula-
ton and your chances Of success with
alfalfa will be greatly increased. One
to two hundred pounds Of soil to the
acre will be sufficient to secure inocula-
ton. Mix with the seed or scatter
broadcast over the land and work in
with the harrow or sow through the
fertilizer attachment Of any ordinary
grain drill. incubation is always best
accomplished before seeding. and larg-
er amounts Of earth will render inoc-
ulation more certain. 1t is often very
difficult and expensive to obtain earth
because Of the scarcity of alfalfa fields
and the objection on the part Of farm
ers to digging up the soil. Most per-
sons who have it for sale ask 81 a
hundred pounds for it and the freight
in addition makes it considerable
item.
In sections of the country where al
falfa has not been cultivated patches
Of sweet clover Melilotus alba) or burr
clover (Medicags Maculata) may be
found Investigations made at the H.
linois and North Carolina stations in
dicate that the bacteria which live in
association with these plants are SINH
lar or identical with those found in the
nodules on the roots Of alfalfa, and
that soils taken from fields where eth.
er one Of these clovers has been sue
ceSSfully grown will iIfoculate land in
tended for alfalfa. In many places
burr clover is grown with profit as a
winter pasture, and If alfalfa Is sown
on this land the following year 1t
should be well supplied with the nec-
essary bacteria. Sweet clover might
be sown on land where difficulty has
been experienced in getting alfalfa, for
owing to its hardihood, it would often
succeed where alfalfa would fail, and
thus pave the way for the successful
incubation of the latter crop. One Sc
rious objection to sweet clover Is the
fact that it seeds very freely, and un-
less carefully clipped so as to prevent
seeding it may become weed pest. AS
it is biennial it can be destroyed by
vigorous clipping for two years.-Pro-
fessor Soule.

charge of embezzlement Of trust
funds held in his official capacity
as an officer of the court. The
funds involved in the charge be-
long to the estate of Barete, and
their detention by Kellett has

tress to the beneficiaries of the

While the amount named in the
charge is $S34.40, the culprit has
admitted detailed charges showing
that he has practically wiped out
the entire funds of the estate,
amounting to several thousand
dollars.
And, worse and worse, the prims

IRWIN HOLDS OLD BONDS.

HONOLULU, Aug. 2.-The man
who purchased the Territorial re-
funding bonds, Mr.. William G.
Irwin, is the holder of 1888, 600 of
the five per cent bonds which it is
purposed to refund with the three
per cents for which the gentleman
has given premium. That fact,
however, will but make the tran
saction the easier to carry out, and
the same premium will be paid on
the price of this lot as on the
balance. The rest of the 100000
in bonds to be refunded will be
called in by the Territorial Trea-
surer and the whole transaction
will be closed up by the first of
October.
The most favorable comment
was heard on the streets and in
financial circles yesterday up
on the bond transaction carried
through by Acting Governor At
kinson and Treasurer Campbell.
Very generally the opinion was
voiced that nothing better could
have happened for the credit OF
the territory. There seems to have
been small doubt that there was a
combination in Wall street, in a
quiet way, to get control Of the en-
tire Hawaiian bond issue. 1t is 8
good investment for idle money
and the banks could use the bonds
And, of course, if the bonds were
to be peddled about to the New
York bond houses, nothing in thu
world could have prevented th'
success of the combination. Ii
fact, under the circumstances, Ha
waii has been lucky In the past II
sell its bonds as we'll as it did. Fol
the bond houses would keep eacl
other adviced of each new issue
and would not bid against eacl
other. The fact that the refundinl
bonds have been taken up by loca
capital breaks the combination
absolutely.
