Sometimes get paper,
Or the notice of sale,
Or circular, or nothing,
But-l've waited for the mail.
The club is called to order,
But tits still the same old tale:

But-I'm waiting for the mail!
The Minister was hoping
| To hammer in the nail
Which should fix my upward progress,
| But-I'm waiting for the mail!
The annoyance and confusion

u. s. Flag 60 Feet Long.

To hang in the great court OF the
Postofice Department at Washington,
a flag will soon be made which, it is
believed, will be the largest in the
world. Bids for its making were
opened at the Postoffice Department,
but no award has yet been made.
The flag will be 60 feet long by
35 feet wide. The court is seven sto-
ries deep. The offices of the depart
ment open on corridors which over
look the court, at the bottom of which
is the Washington city postoflice.
The flag which has hung in this court
for several years is old and needs re-
placing. The new banner will be
fully 10 feet longer than that which
hangs in the court of the Pension
Office. The Is red and white stripes
will each be nearly three feet wide.
The cost of the flag will be 5000.

rORDS GRAND OPERA HOUSE.

Week of October 18th, the Dramatic
event of the Century-the charming mod
ern Comedy by Charles Klein,
THE LION AND THE MOUSE"
One of the most important attractions
of the season comes next week. Charles
Klein's famous success, 1.-THE Lion and
the Mouse" undoubtedly the most widely
discussed of modern plays and one OF the
most interesting, now in its metropolitan
year, with established records of popular
ity in London, Chicago and Boston in all
of which cities it had long runs.
Mr.. Klein has skillfully handled sub
ject thai appeals to every live and wide
awake citizen of America today.
The acquiring of wealth and its accu-
mutation in the hands of few men and
using it merely as background for a
love story, that wins and holds the on
lockers sympathy has driven home with
out any sermonizing or preaching, the
menace that lies in the misuse of capital
and the effect it has on those who oppose
it. 1t is not only good, but valuable
play and richly deserves its success.
The company is an excellent one in
GLIDING such artists as Arthur Byron,
Gertrude Coghlan, A. S. Lipman, NAL

WHEN TO APPLY LIME.

The farmer and every one else want
70 do as little work as possible, and do
It At a time when it will be most ef-
iective and cost the least In time and
labor. In order to apply these prin.
ciples in lining, the following out
lines will be applicable
During the late Fall and Winter,
the farmer usually has less for his
teams to do than at any other time.
and this is a good time to haul lime.
Haul the lime in piles of several BUSH
els each, on a sod field which is to be
ploughed for corn the following FALL
il Fall ploughing is followed and the
system Of rotation will permit. II
the Fall ploughing is not practiced
and the rotation will permit, it is best
70 apply the lime to the field to be put
in corn the followingGspring year.
Cover up the piles with little straw,
and then throw some earth on the
straw to prevent it from blowing away.
During the Winter and Spring these
piles will slake and the lime, under
the protection Of the straw and earth.
will not carbonate but will remain
The caustic lime; and enough heat
will be generated to keep the lime
from mortaring. and yet not he dusty
when the time comes to spread it on
the soil.
Sometime the latter part OF April
or May. spread the lime on the sod
at the rate OF about thirty bushels per
acre. Here it will be in contact with
the orRani: matters Of the sod, and
the roots OF the grasses. 1t will ncu-
tralise any acidity that may be in the
soil, and render it sweet. It will be
washed down into the soil and will
assist the bacteria in the elaboration
OF plant food. 1t will set free fcrtil-
ity and improve the texture OF the
soil, and when the soil is ploughed
down where the functions it performs
are not needed, and where the condi-
tons are such that they cannot be
performed, but it is simply mixed
with the soil and goes on with its be-
nefcent operations until its vitality
il exhausted.

Fear War With Japan.

Washington, Oct. 22.-Oflicial dis
patches received at the State Depart

of bitter attacks being made on the
United States by the japanese papers
because of the action of the Califor-
mans in excluding Japanese children
from their public schools. Copious
extracts from these papers have been
cablcd the State Department, and it
is evident that United States Ambas-
sador Wright, in Toxic, regards the
growing anti-American in Japan as
worthy of notice by this country.
