lawns, pastures and roadsides can be
kept free of weeds. In fields that are
to be cultivated first burn it over to
destroy as many as possible of the
seeds Of the surface. Then plow shall
low, so as not to bury the seeds deep
in the soil, cultlvating not deeper than
the plowing. This induces termination
Of seeds in the layer of soil and kills
the seedlings as they appear. Then
plow the land deeper and repeat the
cultivation until the weed seeds are
thoroughly cleared out. This depth
should be eight to ten inches. Very
few weed seeds can germlnate and
push Il shoot to the surface. Good re-
suits can be obtained by spraying with
two to four per cent. solutions of cop
per sulphate to destroy charlock of
wild mustard in growing grain. This
application is not very good for killing
annual plants where cultivation is pos
sble.-Otto Irwin.

The Snowdrop.

When Adam and Eve had been sant
out of the Garden OF Eden all the
flowers felt so sorry for them that
they folded their petals and gradually
faded away Then the earth looked
so desolate that a kind angel sent the
first snow storm to cover with its
beautiful white flakes the forlorn
looking earth. But the beautiful snow
did not comfort Eve and she mourned
for the flowers The angel. plying
her, came down from heaven to speak
Il kind word to her. Now there was
one little cleared place yet, where a
small bush-like tree grew, and as the
angel talked to Eve a particularly
large flake fell In bend of one OF
its boughs. and presently when they
looked at 1t a second time II had
turned 10 large white flower.
The angel pointed to the flower and
said to Eve:
Let that be a symbol OF rejoicing
to you. For 1t means that by and by
ssmmer will come again and all the
howers bloo-- sngv more"

Poor PAY For Industry,

In Europe many kinds of manufact
uring are conducted in households.
Not long ago an exhibition of wares
produced in this manner was opened
in Berlin. The articles shown were all
of German origin. One of the Alneri
can consuls in Germany says in regard
to the display that everything which
one naturally connects with great
fair is strikingly absent. The products
of tenement and sweatshop. small
piecework evolved by the needy, are
laid bare TO the public. Each exhibit
is ticketed, setting forth the pay for
piece, time employed in making, and
the profit per hour. If the object itself
does not particularly attract the atten.
ton OF the visitor. the descriptive tag
certainly appeals to him. A few exam.
pies may be given: A boys suit of
clothes, three pieces. made for about
seventeen cents; artistic wooden cruel
fixes, carved at less than two cents IN
hour; IA toy menagerie animals for
eleven cents; putting up 1000 needles
for less than one cent for the lot,
mounting hooks and eyes on $50 cards,
with twenty-four pair on each, alto
gether 1880 pieces, for twenty-elght
cents, and an extreme case is that of
bit of lace from Plauen worked at the
rate of about one-quarter of cent an
hour. Progress and poverty are no
where more abruptly contrasted than
in this pitiful display. Expressions of
amazement and sympathy manifested
by the highest classes of society, ara
echoed throughout the German press

Trained Cats.

The cat is the latest member of the
animal kingdom to receive an educa.
tlon. France is the country where
the idea originated, and some Of the
results have been remarkable. One
animal trainer in France says that he
has been astonished at the intelli.
gence OF the cats in unexpected ways
too For instance, he was attempting
TO make one stand on her hind legs
and having done 1t once readily
enough she evidently thought 1t was
sufficient, and did not want to do It
again. The trainer then hit the cat
and Immediately she stood on her
hind legs and with her front paw
reached up and gave the trainer a
long scratch on his hand, Then she
got down and ran quickly away.

When aud How to Plant Corn.

The old saying that at is time to
plant corn when the dogwood is in
bloom Is as close as one can come TO
fixing date that will suit all attitudes.
Certainly the ground should be in good
condition before the seed is planted,

planting before the soil is somewhat

thickness of planting or the fertility
of the amount of seed that should be
put in the ground depends upon many
conditions, such us the fertility of the
soil, rainfall and variety Of corn grown.
Varieties that produce large stalks and
large ears and those that produce sew
eral ears to the stalk require thinner
planting than smaller growing varle-

Home Missions Among Foreigners in
America.-Eph. 2:13-19


Whoever thinks of any man as "far
OFF, is not near to Christ.
Whatever wall separates men
whether of intellectual or social caste,
money or rank or fashions unchris-
tian.
All separation is potential war, but
Christ Is the Prince of Peace.
The Christian ideal is that of the
household, and the larger the Chris.
tian, the larger is the family of his
interests and affections.
Suggestions.
The American ideal is incorporation
--one body-each for all and all for
each. like hands and feet and eyes.
The only prosperity or foreign mis-
sions is home missions. Home mis-
sions are the fulcrum on which the
lever Of foreign missions moves.
In helping the foreigners, now in
America we are probably merely re-
paying the help given to our own i'm
migrant ancestors.
Our cities rule America and the for
eigners rule the cities.
New England is now made up of ff-
ty different natlonalities.
Every year about one million i'm
migrants enter our country.
Said an Italian in New York not long
ago; "Americans are not a race; they
are just a society of different races,
and l have a right to join them too"
Six Arabic newspapers are published
in New York by Syrlans.
Our Foreign-Born Americans
It is a great mistake to class any
body of foreign immigrants as Gun
desirable" Most of them have been
oppressed for ages, but all have valu-
able qualities to contribute to our
civilization.
Few immigrants have any idea of
free institutions. Recently party Of
gypsies, detained at the immigrant
station on Ellis Island, were frenzled
with fear for their children, who had
been removed to a hospital because
they had measles. They had heard
that the authorities would drown the
children, and We're only quieted when
deputation of mothers was allowed
to go and see that all was well.

TO REPUBLICANS:

We are anxious to have every
Republican in close touch, and work
ing in harmony with the Republican
National Congressional Committee in
favor Of the election of Republican

The Congressional campaign must
be based on the administrative and
legislative record of the party, and,
that being so, Theodore Roosevelt's
personality must be central figure
and his achievements a central
thought in the campaign.
We desire to maintain the work of
his campaign with popular subscrip-

deans. To each subscriber we will
lend the Republican National Cam
,aign Text Book and all documents

Y. NJ. E. A. DEPARTMENT.

Major-General Frederick Dent Grant
Commander of the Eastern Division of
the United States Army, has asked
the International Committee of the
Young Mems Christian Association to
place their branches in every post I'M
der his command. General Grant
says that he once had grave doubts
about organizations within the army
posts and that with a strong preju-
dice against the Association, he re-
quired daily reports from all posts I'M
der his direction and quietly checked
them up. In speaking of the results
of this. Gen. Grant said: l found my
prejudice unfounded. At the posts
where the Young Mems Christian AS
ISOLATION was active, there was a de-
crease of courtmartials and assertions
and the enlisted men were more con-
tented and happy. The Association
had been a decided help in discipline
The Richmond palladium. (Richmond, Ind.) 1906-1907, 1906-08-15

and had resulted in a general toning
up of the entire command.
When coming to camp after a long
march in the Philippines, l found the
Association Secretary ready with bar
rels Of ice water, quantities of CORE
spondence paper, numbers of papers
and magazines, music comfort and
cneer for my men just at the time
when the saloon is most attractive to
them. l concluded that the service
OF an organization that was wide
awake enough to provide these vastly
appreciated comforts to soldiers away
off in the Philippine jungles was in
valuable to the army"
What the association does for the
young men of the army, in trying to
meet the practical wants, it does for
the young man in every community
In this practical way it will help the
lives of the young men of Richmond.

AN ENCYCL|CAL

The Vatican Endorses the
Stand Taken by French
Hierarchy on Laws.

POPE SAYS CULTURAL ASSOCIA-
TON PROVIDED BY THE LAW,
SEPARATING CHURCH AND
STATE CAN NOT BE FORMED.
DOCUMENT WAS DELAYED
Publishers PressJ

Rome, AU%. LITTLE text Of the
pope's long expected encyclical to the
archbishops Of France concerning
their future conduct, in view Of the
enactment OF the laws providing for
the separation of church and state,
has been given to the public. 1t re-
fers to the previous encyclical, con
demning the general principles OF the
law, and says the time has not arriv-
ed to indicate what should be done
to defend and preserve religion in
France. We deferred" the encycli-
cal continues, our decision owing to
the importance Of this grave question
and particularly through a charitable
feeling through the great services
your nation has rendered the church
Having heretofore condemned this in
iquitCus Law, we examined with the
greatest care it's articles to see II they
permitted the organization of relig-
ious life in France without jeopardiz
ing the sacred principles Of the
church"
After approving the recommends
lions of the French hierarchy disap-
proving of the law, the encyclical
says: Therefore, concerning cul-
turaI associations such as the law
prescribes, we decree absolutely that
they can not be formed without a VIC
lation OF the sacred rights which are
the life itself Of the church. Putting,
therefore, aside these associations
which our conscience forbids us to APP
prove, 1t is opportune to examine
some other kind of organization, both
legal and canonical, can avert threat
ened dangers to the church" The en-
cyclical then examines at length the
other forms of organization.
The pope says nothing causes him
greater agony than the eventualities
menacing the church in France, and
therefore he hopes to find some other
kind of associations not endangering
divine rights. But this hope fails
he continues, while the law remains
as it is. We declare it is not per-
MISSILE to try this other kind OF as
sociations SO long as they do not es-
tablish in the most legal and most
positive way that the divine constitu-
tion Of the church, the immutaDle au-
thority over the temporal affairs OF
the church, particularly the sacred
edifces. will be irrevocably protected
by such associations.
The document urges the bishops to
adopt all means within the law to or
ganiZe their forces, assuring them OF
the papal cooperation and support.
at is not difficult" the encyclical
concludes, ito foresee the recrimina-
tons which the enemies Of the church
would make against our present de-
cree. They will seek to persuade the
people that we do not seek the saliva
ton of the church, but that the form
of the republic in France is odious
to us. We denounce with indignation
such insinuations as false. The max
ers Of this law have not fought sepa-
ration, but oppression"
