confidence. by selling fakes for news
and scandal for mental pabulum'
Those who make II a practice TO
abuse the liberty OF the press generally
urge that they have a right to "critl-
clze public officials and that pub
liclty is the best remedy against corr
rupuon." There is truth In this. But
the right to criticize public officials IN
their official acts, does not include the
right to publish falsehoods about their
private lives and affairs, In order TO
destroy their usefulness, and, as It
were. assasslnate both them aud their
friends. The method Of the serylan
reyolutonsts who murdered the royal
couple and all their supporters, in or
der to attain their ends Is not justified,
In journalism or anywhere else,
That most OF those who insist on
their right to criticize" and 20 en-
ploy publicity" are chacacter-assatsins
Is very evident from their at
tltude. They never criticize their own
friends and followers, no matter how
rotten they are. Nor do they lay bare
the skeletons IN their own closets, They
do not then, come out for fairness,
morality. and purity for their own sake,
but they assume the position Of cham
plonshp IN behalf Of these virtues,
merely to blndfold the public while
they are, as II were, assasslnatlng their
opponents, Such alleged Champions
are contemplate beyond expression, No
reputable publication that Is honestly
striving 10 do It's duty toward the public
can have anything TO do with such
plotters who hide under the cover OF
free press but the public itself must
exercise the only effective censorship
It Is an important subject, and IT can
do no harm 10 have the attention drawn
occasionally to the existing abuses, by

CONVICT BARRED.

The Massachusetts Legislature faced
a peculiar situation, When It met, one
Of It's members was a prisoner for vio-
lalion OF some federal statute. and his
place was declared vacant. But the
strange feature about this Ia, that the
fellow was in Jail when elected TO the
office OF a legislator. 1t seems that he
carried on his campaign from the Jail,
as his office The minds Of citizens
must be peculiarly constituted when
they decide upon casting their votes
for such representative, One OF the
legislators was prepared TO introduce
a bill making convlcts ineligible to
elective Office for five years--a piece OF
legislation which, but FOR the special
conditions, would have been thought
almost unnecessary, But there were
grave reasons for thinking the bill un-
constitutional and the house saved the
situation by declaring the seat vacant.

NAME FOR STATE.

Many suggestions have been made for
a name for the proposed new state
Arizona and New Mexico. Some think
that an artificial word formed Of letters
picked out Of the two names would an.
swer the purpose "Arco," "Arl2co"
etc. have been proposed But the trout
BILE with all artificial words Is that they
are dead, There is no soul In them.
They may sound well, but they have no
meaning, Think OF "Usona' for the
United states, for instancel But cor
respondent OF the New York Evening
Post proposes "Rio GrHnde," as an
appropriate name, The only objection
to that is that II is Spanish and not
American. II means about tho same as
Mississippi" we are told, while Con-
noctlcut means "the long river" and
Tennessee the great, crooked river"
1t Ia not easy to fud new acceptable
names for states. II is worse than to
find names for children, But Indian
names are often both euphonious and
significant,

FertiIfxtDg the POTATO

IN some tests in the west of Scot
land the best cooking quality and high
est nutritive value in potatoes We're
obtained in the crop grown with com
mercial fertilizers alone, the particular
application consisting of 600 pounds of
superphOsphate, 200 pounds of sulphate
of ammonia, 100 pounds of nitrate Of
soda and 200 pounds of sulphate of
potash per acre. Heavy dressings of
barnyard manure alone produced wa
terry tubers but light dressings were
less injurious, and commercial fertiliz-
ers applied with the manure had
tendency to counteract its unfavorable
influence upon the quality. Consider
ing both quantity and quality. the use
of light dressings of barnyard manure,
together with suitable applications of
commercial fertilizers, is believed to be
the best practice.

Taste and Vnuch.

Touch, DR.. Andrew Wilson has re
minded u.s., is probably the oldest of
our senses. 1t is also, we may add, the
most active where taste has always
been assumed to be paramount-at the
dinner table. 1t is a fact overlooked
that we like what we like less because
we taste it than because we feel it.
What is there wonderful in the taste
Of your perfect, your ripe potato? Moth
ing or little. But, ali, the feeling!
What have the resistance of bread,
the sudden GOODNESS of butter, the ten
derness Of asparagus, the crispness of
biscuit, to do with taste? Something
almost egligible.-London Chronicle.

NOBILITY OF TREES.
A Tribute to the Majesty of the
Mighty Oak.

Directly in NY path stood an ancient
swamp white oak, the greatest tree,
think, that | have ever seen. 1t was not
the highest nor the largest round, per-
haps. but individually, spiritually, the
greatest Ho0ry. hollow and broken
limbed bis huge bole seemed encircled
with tie centuries, and in this green
anG grizZled top all the winds of heav-
en- had some time come.
One could worship in the presence of
such tree as easily as in the shadow
Of vast cathedral. Indeed, what is
there built with hands that has the dig
nity. the majesty, the dignity, Of life?
And What life was here! Life whose
beginnings lay so far back that l could
no more reckon tie years than l could
count The atoms It had builded into this

how enthusiastically the gnarled old mon

beauty OF strength and inward majesty
and has pinned no boutonniere upon
the oak-DallaS Lore Sharp in Nation

CAUGHT BY TIE CRY.
The Way an Australian BaEait Wa%
Trapped In London.

The Way an Australian Bandit was
Trapped Ia London.
"Coo-e-c" is the curious cry that was
one Of the signals of the native blacks
Of Australia The cry was speedily
adopted by the invading whites. The
final Sc is q very high note, a sort OF
prolonged screech that resounds foT
long distances through the bush and
thus enables separated persons to as
certain their relative positions. On one
notable occasion this peculiar cry was
heard in London. A daring buShranger
made his appearance one morning in
front of bank in Ballarat and coOlly
posted a notice on the door to the eff
feet that the place would be closed for
an hour
Entering, he terrOriZed the officials
with his revolver and got clear away
with $4,000 Some time afterward
the authorities received information
that the man had been seen in London.
One day detective thought he espied
his man in the Strand bat. not being
quite sure, he hit upon an expedient.
He uttered Il piercing "CoO-e-e."
Passersby stood fixed in astonish-
ment, but the Australian, acting on the
spur of the moment and recognizing
the familiar sound. FASTENED to the per
son who uttered it. He was promptly
arrested and was taken back to Aus
tralia.-Chicago News.

Not much to look at, is it? Only a
dozen rows of wine bottles, great

out of the school.
Spiders webs are in demand among
surgeons and among the makers Of GER
tain astronomical instruments, the sur
geOnS using them to stop hemorrhages
with and the instrument makers using
them in certain very delicate instru-
ments-instruments wherein, strange to
say, a human hair would not take their
place, because a hair is neither fine
enough nor durable enough to serve the
required purpose.
Besides. selling the webs | also sell
the spiders. A corrupt class of wine
dealers buy the spiders. These men
put them among bottles of new wine.

POWER OF PURPOSE.
Conceive Your Ambition Clearly and
Follow 1t COurageously.

Follow 1t COurRgeOusly.
We all can measure the outward tri-
umph OF a mans life, but we rarely
measure the forces out of which the
triumph sprang. Men suddenly emerge
into the blaze Of fame, and then the
world wakes up and wonders how it
has all happened. There is no such
thing as luck III any world over which
God presides What. then. is the Sc
cret? 1t is purpose The great victo-
ries which men praise are always won
first of all in a mans own soul. The
great men who stamp themselves in
e1faceably on the ages are always the
men who are capable Of conceiving a
purpose clearly and of following it
courageously through evil and good re
port. You may sweep aside as rela-
lively trivial all questions Of the range
Of their gifts, the scope of their intel
lectual life. The great thing which
you have to reckon with is the I'M
mense strength and heroic persistency
Of their purpose.-W. J. Dawson.

Time to Increase Farm FIOcks.

More than a year ago we suggested
that those who wanted feeding lambs
would not be able to get them from
the range much longer at reasonable
prices, says the National Stockman 1t
was evident that the farming country
had become too dependent on the range
for feeding stock, and it Is clearer than
ever now. Last week choice feeding
lambs averaging sixty to seventy
pounds sold at S5.75 to $3.50 in Chica
go, dangerously high price at present
cost of feed The farmer can afford to
raise lambs for less than that and sell
them to the feeder If he has not grain
to fatten them. Indications are that
farmers are preparing to do so. Many
breeding ewes have been sent to the
farms from the ranges during the past
six months, and every breeder who has
advertised rams has found buyers for
them. 1t is high time to increase farm
fOcks when range lambs sell above So
per hundredweight to feeders.

Sword Stands In Church es.

Sword stands came into use IL L0r-
don churches when it became custom
airy to carry the city sword before the
lord mayor as be went to church in
state. During service the sword was
placed in the stand or case provided
for it. and in his own church the lord
mayor generally had the stand placed
conveniently near to or in his family
pew. This custom, which was quite
teenth century, apparently began in
the reign Of Elizabeth. The state Wis
