At this Juncture there appeared at

a careful survey Of the questioner, she

Grape Vine FertfIirfnr.

Grapevines usually need very little
manure other than mineral, and that
chiefly potash In European countries
1t Is the habit of vineyardlsts to burn
the prunings each year and apply the
ashes No other fertilizer Is used. In
fact stable manures are objected to. MS
they make the vines grow rank, and the
fruit will lack the flavor that belongs
TO fruits whose vines are only manured
with the ashes, Much of the excellence
of French wines Is possibly due to this
paring use Of manure.

BIRD Fans Now the Rage I'm p.r,.

BIRD Fans Now the Rage I'm Paris.
Parisians owe their latest and most
original fancy in fans to the gallantry
or well-known dramatlst One of his
iriehds, countess -, famous sports
woman and capital shot, sent him a
pheasant OF unusually beautiful col.
oring. This prize bird the playwright
who Is also something Of an artist
took to a chic fanmaker whose be-
Jewelled creations of gauZe and pre-
cious lace complete the court attire
OF many a royal princess. Under his
workmen's skillful hands the countess
gorgeous trophy was fashioned into n
unique fan which, when shut. looks
like pheasant In repose and when
opened like pheasant in full flight.
The wings Of the bird form the two
sides, while the central part is made
Of the body and tail. The pheasant's
exquisitely shaded head is used as
handle.
After 1t was finished the dramatist
sent 1t to the huntress. When she ex-
hibited 1t to her friends, they were so
delighted with it that they declared
they would carry bird fans and no 9th
ers this season. So now the most re-
cherche balls and evening receptions
show bewldering array Of birds of
p~cadlse and peacocks with spread
feathers Haunting their gaudy plumage
against background of light colored
decollete gowns.

that it Is very slight until noon, when
the tree falls into a condition of COM

there Is gradual renewal Of the
growth, which, however, does not be-
come rapid until the middle OF the

Proportion of Sexes in Swine.

The Bureau Of Animal Industry Ct
the Department Of Agriculture has re-
Gently issued an interesting bulletin on
the relative proportion of the two sexes
Of pigs at birth. This Is information
not heretofore obtainable, for the rea-
son that while the herd books have
given the total number Of pigs far
rowed, the number Of each sex was
given only for those raised. The re-
port included lat litters. The number
Of boar pigs was 6,66O, the number Of
COWS 6,626 The average per sow was,
boars 4.51, sows 4.4S. For all prac-
tical purposes the sexes may be regard
ed as equal In number at birth, al
though the boars are seen to be slightly
more numerous than sows. Expressed
in the lowest terms Of whole figures,
the proportion stands POI boars to 200
sows. The results were gathered from
twenty-five States and Territories and
represented eight breeds, with several
litters Of grades or mixed breeds.

PROPOSED NEW ALLIANCE MAY
DEFEAT DISARMAMENT PRO-
POSAL AT THE HAGUE.
UNCLE SAM TAKES A HAND
Ambassador Sternburg's Vacation Is
Said to Give Opportunity to
SEQ kaiser-ItaIy the
Problem.

Washington, April ga most i'm.
portant revelation in connection with
Baron Sternburg, German ambassa,
dor. and his visit to Germany at this
time, has been made by a diplomat
Although the purpose of this vacation
"a very brief one, by the way-is os.
tensibly to take a rest in his own
country, In reality it is concerned
with the present instability of Ger
many's international politics. 1t was
even said that Baron o Sternburg
was the bearer Of an important mes
sage to Emperor William from Presi-
dent Roosevelt, and that this action
was being hidden by the pretext of a
vacation on his estates, which, accord
ing to the ambassador himself, is to
last only a few weeks.
In connection with the German am
~bassadOr's departure, it is limited that
two other ambassadors may find it
their plans for the late spring and
summer. These ambassadors are
Baron des Planches and NJ. Jusse-
rand.
1t turns out that the cause Of the
diplomatic turmoil is the disarma-
ment question at The Hague, as pro-
posed by England, and what may
happen in case Germany and Austria
Insist on lot discussing the proposal.
This question concerns the United
States, because it is ~believed-and
the presidents remarks lately seem
to confirm this view of it-that if the
powers persist in maintaining their
decisive stand it will cause a realign-
ment of the nations and a serious rup-
ture will occur between this country
and Germany. 1t is with these posi-
bilities in view that the Italian and
French ambassadors will endeavor to
place before their respective govern
ments special reports containing sug-
gestions.
Italy the Problem.
According to reliable authority, II
has at last been decided that it will
be impossible to avoid a realignment
of the powers if Italy decides to re-
main in the Triple Alliance after 1909.
when the terms of the present agree
ment will expire. In saying this, the
diplomat referred to the bitches that
are likely to occur in the near future
between England and Germany and
and Germany. The United
States government so far has been
In sympathy with France and Eng
land more than with Germany. Now,
if Italy will persist in taking sides |
with Austria and Germany at The
conference, it was stated, it
will cause a halt in the sympathies
between herself and England and
and also this country.

ENTIRE CREW OF LAKE BOAT
PERISH IN SIGHT OF
RESCUERS.
CAPTAIN AND WIFE ARE LOST
Lie Savers DeIayed-High Seas Pre-
vent Oarsmen, Who Battled
With the Waves, From
Reaching Vessel.

Tentwater. Mich, April 23.-The
steamer Arcadia sank off this point
today. All on board were drowned.
The vessel carried a captain, his
wife, first mate and a crew of four
teen. 1t carried a cargo OF 141 ,00O
feet of hardwood and vas bound from
Manistee, Mich, to Two Rivers, Wis.
The boat was commanded by Capt.
Harry May, her owner
The vessel was seen to be in dis
tress just before dawn, when rockets
we're sent up showing the Arcadia
was leaking.
The cause Of the accident has not
been determined, but mariners say
the ship must have struck an unchart-
ed rock.
Immediately after the first call for
help the people of Pentwater manned
three ~lifeboats and attempted to
reach the Arcadia, which was filling
rapidly.
The sea was so high that the oars
men could accomplish but little, and
before they had traversed half the
distance to the ship, two miles from
the coast, they saw 1t list badly and
then plunge, with its stern down.
Watchers from the shore could see
the sailors clinging to the mainmast.

WOULD PUNISH CRIMINALS
Chicago Officials Say Fines Are Not
Enough.

Chicago, April 23.-COnfidence men,
pickpockets and other crooks, who
heretofore have managed to escape
punishment by paying fines, will be
required to work on a municipal
stOnepile under the new vagrancy
bill if it is enacted by the present leg
islature.
Chief of Police Shippy and Chief
Justice Harry Olsen of the municipal
court agreed yesterday that the most
effective way of Kidding Chicago of
criminals who care nothing for fines
of from $50 to 800 for each offense
is to put them to work.
The stone pile will be located on
the grounds of the house Of correc-
ton and will be operated in conjunc-
ton with the quarry of hat institu-
ton.
The proposed new vagrancy law
provides that judges of the municipal
court, instead of filming the crooks,
may send them to the Bridewell for
10, Is or 80 days. and the new super
intendent, John l.. Whitman, will put
them 10 work breaking stone.

STEAL A TUG BOAT
CRAFT is OVERTAKEN AFTER A
LONG CHASE.
COLLISIONS NARROWLY AVERTED
Discharged Swedish Sailors Lead the
Owner a Lively Race Along
East River.

New York, April 23.-Olaf Wolf
steen and Lori Larsen, two Swedish
sailors, ran away with a $40, 900 tug
boat Monday night and were captured
after an exciting chase on the East
river, during which shots were fired
and collisions barely averted, while
the tug was constantly in danger of
being blown up. The two Swedes,
who knew they were going to be dis
charged by the Mcneil Towing Co..,
their employers, suddenly conceived
the idea Of running away with the tug
Florence, on which they worked as
deckhands. The boat had been tied
up for the night in Byshwick creek,
but the men managed to get up steam
and casting away the lines, started
for Lower New York Bay.
Capt. Mcneil of the tug Claremont
was notified and, hastily manning his
boat, pursued the Florence. The lat
ter vessel had fully a half a mile
start, but the Swedes were almost
without knowledge of how to handle
it. They took several foolhardy
chances in the crowded river. They
managed, however, to keep the tug at
almost top speed.
Chase Was Exciting.
Capt. Mcneil kept the Claremont's
whistle screaming for help. Several
other tugs, attracted by the whistles,
joined in the chase. AS the Clare
mont gained on the fugitive tug Nc
Neil leaned from the pilot house win
dow and fired two shots and called on
the Swedes to stop. They shouted
back ~defiantly and dodge in and out
among larger boats, past the navy
yard and under the Williamsburg and
Brooklyn bridges.
The pursuit ended off Hamilton
front, the Claremont being the fastest
boat of the two.
The crew bound the two men with
opes. They were then locked UP in
a Brooklyn station on the charge of
larceny. They explained that they
were only skylarking, but Mcneil is
positive they meant to steal the tug.
They also came near blowing her up
in their ignorance, he says.
