TO GIVE NITROGEN TO THE SOIL.
Interesting Experiments With Legu-
minous Vegetables.

An interesting and very instructive PAM
phlet has been issued by the Department OF
Agriculture bearing on the value TO the
soils of the country of leguminous vege-
tables or those which bear edible beans. 1t
seems, according to the work TO which ref
erence has been made, that they play a
very important part in the general scheme
of fertility, although for long period their
value has been questioned, and by some
scientists repudiated.
Nitrogen being the most important ele-
ment in crop production. the primary OBJ
iect in investigating the conditions which
appertain in plant culture is to determine
the most practical manner OF supplying
nitrogen to the growing plants without de-
tracing from the other elementary quail
ties of the soil. Plants of the leguminous
family, when grown in contact with certain
bacteria, form upon their roots small nod
ules known as nitrogen knots" These
knots play an important part In supplying
the plants with nitrogen, which Is gathered
from the air. The experiments of the de-
partment have been, therefore, directed SO
as to ascertain and devise some practical
method of bringing about the artificial in
PRODUCTION of the necessary organisms into
soils which were naturally devoid of them,
and at the same time attempt to recon-
cile the vast amount of conflicting evidence
regarding the exact nature of the organ
ism, where the nitrogen is fixed and similar
problems.
A process was finally discovered by which
dry cultures of the nitrogen-producing bac-
terra were made and preserved, and these
are now packed and shipped to any part of
the world. The Department of Agriculture
is prepared to send instructions in their use
to farmers, and 1t is believed that if these
instructions are followed the result will be
highly gratifying to all concerned.

FAMOUS FIL1BUsTER KILLED
Capt. Scott, Who Bluffed Chilean Com
mander, Met Death by Train.

A dispatch from Victoria, B. c., saws.
one of the most picturesque figures among
the seafarfng communities of western
America was removed by death when Capt.
s. f. Scott was killed by train at Astoria.
captain Scott who was f1fty-four years old.
started life as a "strcng man. in a circus,
but soon firing of that sought adventure
upon the sea. Seven times he encircled the
globe and was shipwrecked three times.
AT the time of the Chilean revolution fifteen
years ago he was captain and chief owner
of the steel steamship West Indian, which
was engaged to deliver a cargo of baled
hay in the neighborhood of the disordered
country. In the hay were arms and am
munition. The warship Esmeralda over
hauled the trader and ordered her to heaye
TO until her cargo was subjected to search
Captain Scott protested that he was a
British subject and that he had British
mails on board and was in a hurry. CAPTAIN
Scott assumed well simulated wrath. He
had good steel ship and he was going
out of harbor. If shot was fired or any
attempt made to interfere with his progress
he would turn the West Indian upon the
warship, give the signal for full steam
ahead, and all would go down together.
The bluff" was effective and the West
Indian escaped.

Central Labor Union.

AT the regular weekly meeting of the
Central Labor Union last night at Costello's
Hall, 9th and G streets northwest, the con-
tention between the Machinists' Union and
the local union of musicians was given
consideration. The organization of ma
chinists is composed almost entirely of me-
chanics employed in the Washington navy
yard, and members of the union have
formed a musical organization, known as
the Naval Gun Factory Machinists' Band.
The Musicians Union claim that the band
has invaded their prerogatives and that it
is composed of men who are not members
of their protective body. Committees of the
two unions have been appointed to con-
slider the merits and dement's of the con-
troversy, and they will hold a conference
at clock Sunday afternoon at the head
quarters of the musicians in the Fat Mems
Club house, on d street between 9th and
10th streets northwest.
The committee on the proposed labor tenn
pie, through it's chairman, Mr.. Milford
Spohn, asked for an extension of time,
which was granted, and the statement was
made that the committee may make a re-
port at the next meeting of the Central
Labor Union, Monday evening April g.
After the consideration of routine matters
the meeting adjourned about Q o'clock.

Jauntiness characterizes the new walking
costume. That is, the motif air to be OBJ
served in every model except the redngote,
which gains considerable dignity by reason
of it's length But in the other extreme of
outdoor apparel, where the bolero is intro

line.
1t is difficult to recall a timei when de-
signs for gowns to be used for the self
same occasions presented such striking
contrasts in general effect they do at
present, but the condition is not without
special advantages. 1t enables one to own
a delightful variety of street gowns If both
the jaunty and dignifed are becoming, and
in the other case it offers a rare oppor-
tunity to all to secure becoming modes.

OF INTEREST TO WOMEN

With the possible exception of the Grand
Duchess Constantine the widowed Grand
Duchess Serge is said to be the most bead
tiful woman of the Russian royal family.
She is a daughter of King Edwards favor
tie sister, the Princess Alice, and some
people saw she is the best looking of Queen
Victoria's descendants. Her career has
been full of romance In his younger days
the prince who is now the German en-
peror fell in love with her, and 1t was
only through the determined intervention
of Bismarck she was prevented from sha--
ing his throne. But both got over the dis
a very strong affection for her husband.
When they were first married she refused
TO ioin the orthodox church, and pious
Russians said she was seven years chfldleSS
for the sin of refusal. Then followed a
pilgrimage to the Holy Land and her con-
version and then the pious Russians said
the cause was removed BY marriage she

walking skirts They are smartest when
made rather full at the bottom. but the
upper part may be pleated in almost any
arrangement that individual taste prompts
The design OF the accompanying cloth
skirt shows a grouping of graduated box
pleats separated by q wide plain space
There are three pleats en- the 'front.' two at
each side, and three again at the PACK.
Those in the front are trimmed with stitch
ing to distance Of eighteen inches or SO
from the belt and here the stitching ends
in a wedge. The other pleats are UNI
stitched. but are pressed fiat. SO that they
cling to the figure until they get beyond
the curve Of the hips, at which point they
begin to flare smartly. The plain sections
of the skirt have band trimming across
the bottom not over inch and half
wide and set this distance above the edge
A bit of oriental embroidery is introduced
on the jacket. This is minus collar and
opens down the 'front.' where a shaped vest
is inserted. The background of the vest
is white cloth. At the throat 1t begins to
curve in a semi-circle at each side of the
center, and then narrows into tiny strip
continuing the remainder of the distance
The jacket forms straight line across the
bottom, and on each side of the front 1t is
slashed up in a four-inch point. A touch
of oriental embroidery is to be seen here
and there, and the entire irregular design
is outlined with brown satin cord put on
to form miltary-1ookfng loops.
From the under arm seams deep point
ed corset comes toward the front to hook
up the center very snugly. The top is fin
ished with stitching, and two more rows
ornament the lower edge. A full sleeve is
held in at the shoulders by means of tiny
pleats and the fullness is again brought in
below the elbow by means of the same
kind of folds, which form a cuff. These
pleats are stitched fiat vertically and then
crossed with stitching. narrow band
of the cloth is stitched at the wrist.
For short Jacket costume in which the
popular basque is featured a smart style
has a bolero rounding away from the
front and supplemented with vest form
ing two sharp points at the bottom. The
neck of the bolero is cut in "V' and
trimmed with wide band of fancy gold
braid, which ends at the bust in medal
lions fastening jabots of ecru lace. Similar
bands of gold braid curve over the Shout
ders to end at the point of the arm under
disc-like ornaments. Where the rippled
basque is attached to the bolero there is

Physicians and others who have eaten
rice cooked by a Hindu, a Chinaman, or u
southern darby must have remarked the
difference between the results obtained by
these artists and those of the benighted
cooks of the north. We learn from an
authoritative source that the secret lies IN
the following recipe:
The rice should be carefully washed and
placed in a kettle of boiling water, which
should be set on the back of the range over
low fire. where the rice should simmer
slowly until done. Stirring is not only use
less, but harmful. If there is any water
left it should be drained off carefully and
the rice should then stand in hot place
for some time.
Nothing should be added during the cook
fng-no salt sugar, milk or butter. If the
cooking has been done properly, each grain
of rice will stand out by itself, plump dry
and beautiful. Served very hot at the ia
Bile the rice should then be reverently treat
ed with cayenne pepper and butter, after
which will be revealed to the consumer one
of the secrets of the success of the Japa-
nese army.-New York Medical Journal.

braids to match used, but black, whit
gold and scarlet are combined effectively
with somber colors. Boleros are SO thick
ly covered with braided bands and fancy
patterns that they resemble the historical
Turkish garment, which, as everybody
knows, is a thing of solid braid. One in
teresting point emphasized by the newest
boleros is shortness. This season they are
exceedingly abbreviated, and the smartest
are cut off sharply just below the bust line
and some are slashed up the front. Others
are provided with deep corselet, which
is securely attached to the sides of the
Jacket while few models depend upon
the blouse girdle for waist definition.
