the word Jelly" The abbrevia-

many ripe currants as possible.

From California.

here for the San Francisco sufferers

ST. Paul Rectory,

Y. l. showalter, Esq, Lancaster.
DEAR SIR:
| am very much indebted to the
people of Lancaster for the draft of $72.35
which you kindly sent and which arrived
Saturday. Will you accept this letter as an
expression of thanks from myself and the
many people it is already enabling me to
assist, Thanks to the prompt action of the
American public, to say no hing of the little
we have been able to do for ourselves, the
worst is over. [ do not suppose there has
been such an exhibition of relief in modern
times as we have witnessed in and about
San Francisco since the 18th of April. We
are proud of an efficient mayor and his
committee of forty prominent citizens, who
while their own homes were tumbling about
them, or going up in flames, planned for the
salty and suStenance Of the fleeing thou
SANDS. Neither can we forget the bOundlesS
generosity of our fellow citizens in other
states, and SvmpathizerS in foreign cOun-
tries. Then again we own a debt of graft
3ude to the United States Army. Some of
your townsmen have no doubt seen thearmy
in action in war times and you have seen
5rave men; we have seen the army in ac-
tiOn in peace, and we shall never forget it,
Within two hours of the terrible catastrophe
Of which [ am speaking, when the city was
demOralized, and a dozen fires were raging
IN dozen different parts, and the under
world had broked loose in is of violence
and loot, the United States troops from our
great president were swinging through the
streets to their duty of protecting lite and
property. Since then tens of thousands
have been housed and fed in relief camps.
which have been run with the precision of
Of ClOCkwork. and with a remarkably clean
bill of health. We have three such camps

'Sure?" replied the modest dentist
in almost injured tones. 'Why, you

The success of experiments for the
ca ication of mustard from farm
lands which are being made FIR the
Wisconsin Experiment Station by
Prof. r. A. Moore, professor of agron-
omy at the college of agriculture, Uni
versity of Wisconsin will mean much
to the agricultural interests of the
stat. Wild mustard has become a
source of much annoyance anc loss to
farmers, and many methods for its
determination have been. tried and
abandoned because they were in
efficient, injured grain crops, poisoned
stock, or were TOO expensive. Sulp-
hate of iron, which is used in solution
by Prof. Moore in his experiments. is
cheap, costing but 81 or So per ton.
which amount will cover twenty acres
effectively. Though it kills the mus tard
if applied before the plant comes to
full bloom, it has no ill effect upon
grain crops nor are stock coming IN
contact with it poisoned by many
other solutions similarly used.
MAY KILL THIsTLEs.
Hundreds of square miles of farm
ing land in the state which otherwise
would be the finest agricultural land
in Wisconsin, are covered with mus
tard," said Prof. Moore, discussing the
experiments. ga sprayer of German
make has recently been shipped to the
college for use in this investigation,
and believe it will mean the redemp-
tion of much land infested with
>xious weeds. Canada thistles, be-
lieve, can eventually be killed off too,
but as Chey are perennlals, sending up
new rs ads from the root. they must
be treated several times during sue
cessive seasons. Experim along
this line are now being carried on by
the station, but definite results can
not be obtained until another year
shows whether the thistle roots are
killed, as we hope, by the frequent
blighting of the tops.
The new spray is twenty two feet
wide. and can be used as fast as a
horse can travel through the grain
field, SO that twenty or twenty-five
acres can be covered in a day. A
twenty per cent solution of 100 pounds
of iron sulphite crystals in a fifty-two
gallon barrel, stirred well was used
with excellent results in demonstra-
tion tests in Dane, Waukesha. and
Kanosha counties recently. Similar
tests will be made next year in Dor
tiOns Of the state not visited this wear.

Sunday OF ST. Clements.

On Sunday, July 1st, the children
of st. Clements congregation re-
ceived their first holy communion.
There was a bright class of 13.
There names are: Boys, Edward
Pink, Aloisius Hoffman, Orie Wis
baum, Fred Walter, George Funk,
Edward Funk, John Kiley; girls,
Gertrude Ertz, Hilda Zenz, Rose
Udelhofen, Stella Udelhofen, Clara
Weekend, Mary Kepler. Services
were unusually long, lasting from
g a. N. to II. The church was
crowded to the last pew. Especial
ly touching were the common
prayers Of the children, spoken
loud, plain and devout; and also the
singing TOR which the choir deserves
special credit. The presence Of
many visitors to tho services was
highly appreciated. The order in
the church was carried out as per-
fectly as could be expected with
with such a large crowd. The
pastor wishes to express his APP
probation to all, particularly to the
visiting attendants, for the respect
shown in the house Of God and to
the services conducted by him.
The bodily wants of the wor-
shippers and also others were at
tended to by the kind ladies of the
parish, who undoubtedly tried their
very best to satisfy all our esteemed
guests. There was a very large
number expectant of the good
things, prepared by the ladies with
IN the walls Of the school rooms.
Unfortunately this necessitated a
rather late dinner for those who did
not succeed to gain entrance at the
first or second table. But also for
this evil remedy will surely be
studied out before the day recurs.
A neat sum Of about SIS 90 was
taken in at the occasion, which
will come in very hand this year; as
the parish is thinking of repairing
the buildings; roofing, Church and
school, placing lightning rod on
church, putting waterworks into
school basement, repainting parson-
age and renovating interior OF same
and sisters residence. The parish
is therefore all the more grateful TO
the helping business men of town
and all the patrons of the occasion.

School examination at st. Glenn
ent's was very we'll attended. The
presence of the Hon. Mayor of the
city and of the high school prin-
ciple and Of the pastor of st. Marvs

pecially appreciated. The examina-
ton manifested good faithful work
for the year, both from part of
teachers and pupils. For the details
Of the examination, look into the

Voice Of the Summer Girl.

-
I'm here
Each year
And always young.
Age
Is not written on the page
OF any of my books
OF spirit or of looks.
And pearls of praise are strung
For me on plant poets strings
The wondrous things
OF music, moonlight, love and flowers
Are mine through all the glowing hours
To weave into a witchery that LAYS
It's spell around the soft, sweet DAYS
Of summer time and makes men see
The roses radiance in me,
The lily's lanSour and asphodel,
Which sings the story it may tell.
[ command
The land
And rule the waves
AS slaves.
Up where the mountains touch the skies
Roves my restless enterprise;
Down where the pillows never sleep
The vigil of the heart I keep.
Men may come, and men may go,
The pink of youth, the white of snow,
And all
Are in my thrau,
The thrall of the Summer Girl
Oh, me,
The tyrant of all tyranny,
me sum Of summer mems distress
And likewise their happiness.

Well, guess
Yes.
