The careful housewife sometimes
discovers that her pillows are begin
ming to have an old or sickly smell,
owing either to long nse under ordinary
circumstances or in u sick room. An
easy way to cleanse pillows is to PLACE
them upon block of wood in wash
boiler containing enough water to
make good steam, but not enough TO
come up around the pillow. Keep the
steam going until the pillow is
thoroughly heated through, then
hang in the sunshine to dry, remeni-
bering to give it several Thorough

The New York experiment station
recently made an investigation of the
food used by bearing fruit trees during
one seasons growth. This investiga,
tion INCLUDED the apple, peach, pear,
plum and ounce. The figures show
that the relative proportions of plant
ioQu aiC
the same for the different varieties of
fruit trees. This means that under
like conditions of soil fertility MKT
ure of nitrogen, phosphoric acid and
potash which would meet the require
ments of one variety would also fill the
needs of the others, so far as the sup
ply of these plant-food constituents ia
concerned. What particular proper
tions are best adapted to meet the
needs of any particular soil can be de-
termined only by special experiment,
The peach uses the largest amount of
plant-food and seems to do best on our
red oxide of iron soils. The pome fruits
give results much alike but all the
fruits use more food than an acre of
wheat yielding at the rate of twenty
bushel $ of grain and ton of straw,
The moral is, therefore, that an acre of
fruit trees will in time require larger
amounts of fertilizer than the same
area of wheat. Yet the practice in
many sections is to fertilize for wheat
and let the fruit trees take care of
emselves.-Denver Field and Farm.

OF the etiology Of suffering We

Get Direct Inheritance is rare, and
possibly imitation is the chief factor

The Jat anese can make birds to

duce new kinds Of birds as a mil

pair of the palest sparrows they can
find, and keep them in a white cage
in a white room, where their only

The result, after a series of genera

so. at least, the Japanese have told
me.

SEARCHING FOR DIAMONDS.
Early Experiences of One Man In
South Africa.

J. 3. Robinson, the South African
millionaire told an interviewer his
early experiences in searching for dia-
monas. The news spread like wild
fire through the countryside that
white man was giving away wagons
and oxen for bits of stone. I set all
the natives who came to work to seek
diamonds on one side OF the river,
says Mr. Robinson, and | fetched up
my own 80 men to hunt for diamonds
among the bushes and scrub on my
side Of the yaal. Next morn
ing at sunrise | was startled by loud
hal!a-bullooing. and, looking out,
saw whole gang of nay men rushing
toward me in a state Of great excite
ment. One of them had found dia-
mond of good size; they all had come
to see what | would do with it. What
will you give me for it?' says he. ]
will give you ten cows | replied, and
sent the man into the herd to take his
pick, and he marked ten of the best
COWS as his own They had never
dreamed of making such a bargain.
Ten cows for a bit of stone; Off they
went again, and found diamonds every
day; they all became rich and | ac-
cumulated good store of precious
stones. We made a belt full of small
pockets in each of which we placed
a diamond. When the belt was filed
my partner girded it about his body
and started for Cape Town, He never
took off his belt until he reached Lon
don. And it was in this way that the
first consignment of African damon
reached London"

with comparatively little advantage.
He said that the canal was wanted
at once and the present canal was the
choice OF Delaware and New York ship
pers.
Just as former Judge David T. Mar
vel was about to leave the room Cen
eral Agnus called upon him to express
his opinion on the question.
He replied that he could add nothing
to what had been said. The canal was
an engineering proposition and the
choice Of routes depended largely upon
the question as to whether the strate-
gic value and the commercial value Of
the one route overtopped the other.
1--WE want the canal and / am willing
to do all / can to forward the work Of
getting it.
Andrew Bryson on behalf Of the New
Castle city Board Of Trade present.
ed a set Of resolutions passed by that
body favoring the canal and advocat-
ing the present route of the Delaware
and Chesapeake Canal
The Sassafras route is reckoned by
the commissioners to be 1925 miles
in length, to consume Is 1-10 hours Of
time and to cost II ID millions of dol
lars The Delaware and Chesapeake
route will require less money, be both
shorter and straighter than the other
General Agnus it is said is a strong
advocate Of the interests of the Sassa-
frds route and the engineering MEM
bers of the board will be swayed more
by the engineering problems Of cost
and maintenance and strategic i'm
portance OF the routes in their recon-
mendations to Congress.
Commercial interests in Baltimore,
backed by the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad, oppose the Delaware and
Chesapeake route as throwing open
the Chesapeake Bay and Eastern Shore
of Maryland towns to the merchants
Of the North
Frank S. Neall, president of the

pany, was present at the meeting and
listened throughout with interest. He

ASK CITY TO REFUND
DAMAGE TO LIVE STOCK
GARBAGE CONTRACTORS FILE
CLAIM FOR HORSES
Peculiar Construction of lncinerator
Is Cited as Reason for Injuries to
Horses and Mules in Hauling City's
Refuse

For nearly two weeks the board OF
public works has not been in hot water
over the garbage situation but restful
dreams were disturbed yesterday when
Mcclure & Mcclure, who have the con-
tract for collection of garbage, pre-
sented a bill of $Ss3.75 for horses and
mules damaged at the incinerator or
while on duty for the city.
The bill represents one horse burned
to death by falling into the fiery fur
mace and a mule so badly burned that
it had to be destroyed. The remainder
of the bill is for burns, broken legs and
other injuries to the animals by reason
of the peculiar construction of the in
cinerator.
Whether or not this bill will be paid
the board is not ready to say.
The members feel they have already
been lenient with the garbage contra C.
tors in accepting wagons that were too
small and not up to original specifica-
tions, although the changes in the size
of the wagons was allowed by the old
board, by advice of the Municipal
league. The board has had several of
the wagons enlarged at the cty's eX-
pense.

She carried no papers or documents
to esta blish her Identity and was un-

TRAFFIC CHIEFS
SEE COMMISSION
FORMAL CONFERENCE is HELD
IN WASHINGTON
Interpretation and Enforcement Of
the Rate Law Is Gone Into
Thoroughly by Railway
Experts
Ru AssncInfed Press.

BY Associated Press
WASHINGTON, i. .ug. /. After a con-
ference today the railway officials who
have been discussing with the inter-
state commerce commissio the inter-
pretation and enforcement of the new
railroad rate law adjourned their
meeting.
Little of a definite nature vas ac-
complished at the conference.
After discussing some details today 1t
was decided that a committee of six
railroad officials, two from each of the
great traffic divisions of the country,
the northern, western and southern,
should be appointed I confer further
with the commission regarding the de-
tails of the enforcement of the rate law
This committee will be named in a
few days.
Representatives of the western trunk
lines and traffic officials of various
southern and southwestern railroads
were present in the hearing room of
the commission. The conference related
to the construction to re placed by the
commission on the recently enacted
rate law.
Extended statements were made to
the commission by several of the rail-
road officials, the principal speakers
being j. c. Stubbs of the Southern
Pacific, w. B. Bibble of the Chicago,
Rock Island & Pacific, =. NJ. Culp of
the Southern railway and Darius Miller
of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy.
Railroads Requests
In brief, the road officials made three
general requests of the commission:
First-That reasonable extension
of time be given them to prepare and
publish and file with the commission
their new tariff schedules under the
law, and also that the book containing
the rates be left with each station
agent instead of being posted at the
station.
Second-That the requirement of a
notice of thirty days in a change of
rate or rates be eliminated, particu-
larly as to import and export traffic.
1t was pointed out that often these
rates had to be changed within a few
hours to meet local conditions and that
1t would be practically impossible to
anticipate these changes by even one
day, not to mention thirty days.
Third-That the railroads be relieved
from the publication of terminal rates
at points of destination and allowed to
publish them only at the point where
the charges originate.
