JUSTICE FOR WOMEN.

Recorder John r. Fairman, of Al
leghenv county has become a thor
ough convert to civil service reform
because of reading the following "ad'
in one of the Pittsburg papers:
situation wanted by a woman who
quit last position at court house to
make room for the organizations rel
atives; a position as copyist or tran
scribing clerk. Address C 49,"
Fairman, who had been looping off
heads in his office because they hap
pened to be appointees of the oppos-
ing political faction, said today:
There will not be any more dis
charges in my office during my term,
except for cause. Such advertisements
are unpleasant. 1t is hard to dis
charge a woman at any time, and
some of those discharged here were
actually in need Of employment Wo-
men IN the court house should be un-
der civil service. 1t would take legis-
lation to put them there, but it should
be enacted They should not be the
| shuttlecock of politics.
"They have no votes, are not per-
niciously active and are guilty oi

TELLS TIME BY HIS HANDS.

Walter Mason, living in Newport,
Me-, has the mysterious ability of be-
ing able TO tell the accurate time of
day by simply looking in the palm of
hand as another would look at his
watch. No man has been able to learn
his method and in fact he himself
cannot explain the source of his
power. This uncanny knowledge is
not of recent origin, he having used
it for many years. When he first be-
gan to use this gift, as. he considers it,
he purchased watch, then looking
at his hand to ascertain the time, he
would compare his fingers with those
of the watch, finding his own always
correct. Many of the people about
the village who doubted his power,
and who looked upon it as a fairy
story" have by their own observation
and experiments become convinced of
it's truth. Walter Mason was born in
the town of Palmyra, 40 years ago,
and came to Newport when he was
about Is years of age. He attended
the district school in Gilman, after
which he found employment in diff
ferent mills, at one of which he is
working at the present time.-Thurs-
ton (Me.) Journal.

for slot machines arose during the
year, but after their novelty wore off
the trade practically ceased.
The United States is principally
represented in machinery sales by
boilers, cash registers, sewing ma
chimes, spinning and weaving ma
chimes, metal and wood working ma
chinery, etc. The American Singer
sewing machine, which has had almost
complete posse ession of the Spanish
market. has now a German rival.
Machines for automatically manu-
featuring metal pieces from iron'
steel, zinc, lead, brass, copper, nickel,
aluminium, silver and gold, as we'll as
paper, cardboard and leather, would
readily sell in Spain.

A METRICAL CABLEGRANI.

There is a curious story in Wash
ington that a suppressed cablegram
came from the Philippines the day
after the massacre in the volcanic
crater of Mt. Dajo. According to the
report, the following message came to
the president:
81 have put 900 more under the sod
To go and meet their Mohammedan
God"
Major General Leonard Wood is
credited with the authorship of this
poetical report of the fight where
women and children were among the
dead. This story cannot be confirm
ed, but 1t is said in Washington that
the Culberson resolution, calling upon
the president to produce in the senate
all correspondence that has passed
between the executive and the mill
tary authorities in the Philippines
since the battle was fought, was in
troduced with the specific aim to
reach such a telegram If there Is one
of the kind in existence.-The Argo-
naut.

be sown to supply this number, after
allowing for all that do not germin-
ate and for those which are destroyed
by insects, animals and other means.
Estimating the number which will be
sown in 20 pounds per acre by actual
count of several ounce samples, the
average is 100000 seed. This num-
Der will allow about IL seed to fail
upon every siX-inch square of gound
in one acre. This is apparently great
ly in excess of the actual need.
Now these figures are intended to
show solely that the purer the seed
and the higher terminating power,
the smaller the quantity necessary
per acre will be. If ample of seed
should show high rate of impuri-
ties or of dead seed, just so much
more per acre will be required to
make up the deficiency 1t will thus
at once appear that low-priced seed
are never really cheap since the lower
cost price is due wholly to the quail
ity of the seed and perhaps to adul-
teration or to the admixture of inert
matter for the purpose of weighting.
Nevertheless seedsmen have repeat
| edly stated to the writer that they are
obliged to keep a stock of inferior
seed on hand because many farmers
demand a lower and cheaper grade.
In no other pursuit will the maxim,
the best is the cheapest, be found so
applicable as in agriculture.
Many of the failures which have
discouraged farmers even in planting
alfalfa are traceable solely to the mis-
taken idea that a lower grade will do.
Demand the best and freshest seed
and SOW properly.

HALE AND SOCIALISM.

Life. Senator Hale of Maine AYERS,
can be breathed into industries by
the fostering care of the government.
This he says in support of the ship
subsidy bill. He Instances the river
and harbor bill which are indirectly
a monus to domestic trade by improv-
ing the waterways. Irrigation is
bonus to agriculture" Every con-
tribution which the government
makes to an industry to revive it is a
subsidy" "The old-fashioned demo-
cratic doctrine that there should be
no Intervention on, the part of the
government to aid any industry has
disappeared" 1--WE are in an age of
subsidies when, from carrying the
mails to carrying commerce, the gov
ernment is the 'reviving spirit"
This broad statement of the sub
sidy program makes Senator Hale
more than half a socialist. The sena-
tor believes that the government
should foster all industries that ask
help and ieave the profits to the citi-
zen. The socialist believes in extend
ing aid to the industries and the gov
ernment taking down the profit and
putting it in a common bag to be
drawn out by the citizens equally.
Senator Hale probably belongs to
the old school which would have them
draw out in proportion to their grab
bing capacity. He would repudiate
the idea that he is a socialist, but the
socialists could make a good claim
to him were they disposed to push it.

SELECTING ALFALFA SEED.

The Texas Experiment station at
Brazos, has issued a bulletin on al
falfa seed and alfalfa culture from
which the following is an extract:
The quantity of any seed which is
necessary to be sown to the acre de-
pends obviously upon several factors,
the principal of which are the num-
Der of plants desired upon the land
and the number which will germinate
in a given sample. In the first place,
alfalfa plants should be rather thick
ly set. Allowing one plant to every
six square inches of surface. there
would thus be 1920 plants upon an
acre.
A sufficient quantity of seed must

RESUSCITATION OF SPAIN.

When Dewey sank the last Spanish
battleship in Manila bay, the world
said that was the beginning of the end
of Spain. The proud and naughty
nation had been stripped of her pos
sessions one by one. Cuba, Porto
Rico. the Philippines has been wrest-
years of tyranny and oppression.
For centuries she had subsisted up
on the resources of these rich possess
sions. The world said she would per-
ish when the rich fountains of her
wealth were taken from her.
But there is a resuscitation of Spain
in progress. Finding herself left upon
her own resources. she has begun in
ternal improvements and develop
ments which promise to rebuild the
once glorious kingdom.
Consul General Ridgley Of BARGE
Iona, furnishes an interesting report
on what Spain is doing. Conditions
are considered as being favorable to
American manufacturers. Spain is
an inviting field for tools, appliances.
and machines of almost every de-
scription. a disposition to buy the
best is found in many parts of the
peninsula. By sending American
agents to represent their wares
American houses may be able to build
up a fairly extensive and profitable
trade. Consul General Ridgley says:
For the first time since the loss of
the colonies the volume of Spain's ex-
ports in 1904 exceeded the Imports
Deducting the special imports and the
imports of gold and silver, the value
of imports aggregated s119,132,956
while the value of the exports, after
deducting gold and silver, amounted
to s121116,5S9.
The value of the manufactured
goods imported during 1874 was $32,'
S58,4O6, as compared with s37,O40,37;
during 1903. a decrease of S4,000,000
made us as follows: Iron and stee
manufactures. s357,OOO; flax ant
hemp yarns. s214,OOO; silk textures
$4,000; railway cars, $4,000
iron and steel ships, .249,OOO.
There was also a decrease in th'
imports of tin plates, copper plates
nails, chemicals and cotton, silk anC
wooden fabrics. There was an in
crease of s171,5OO in the imports o
agricultural machinery, which show
that Spain is beginning to realize th'
recessity Of adopting modern method
in agriculture. Motor engines shov
an increase in value Of s5S6,00O, whil
other kinds Of machinery increased t.
the amount Of SSS6.OOO.
No very marked increase is notice
able in the imports of American
goods. The use of typewriters il
Spain is steadily gaining ground
Some German machines are being ac
lively pushed, but the American ma
chimes, though more expensive, ar
greatly preferred. A limited demand

THE PLAINS.

These wide horizons; whether Desert
or Sea-
Vague and vast and infinite; family
Surely, hid in the far away, unknown
There,
Lie the things so longed for and
found not, found not,
Here.
Only where some passionate, level
Stretches itself in reaches of golden
sand,
Only where the sea-line is joined to
the skyline, clear,
Beyond the curve Of ripple or white
foamed crest
Shall the weary eyes
Distressed by the broken skies
Broken by Minaret, mountain, or tow
ering tree
Shall the weary eyes be assuaged,-
be assuaged,-and rest.

Evidently Judge Hunt who tried
the last of the land fraud cases, does
not respect either wealth or poverty,
in his administration of the law. He
has refused to allow one bill of excep-
tions on the showing that the defend
ant was a poor man, and he has
threatened to bring about immediate
execution of the penalties imposed
upon the rich criminals, if they at
tempt any more dilatory methods in
the appeal cases.

THE WHITE PAINT or THE

But white the White House Is and

best o~btainable was a ready mixed
