WHY DID MANCHESTER
THROW AWAY $4,000 A YEAR? ?
Special Cable to The Herald.

SptCIdI OdUIG 20 IIo TIT 11IVl'
LONDON, May 1.-THE duke of Man
chester's resignation of the court office
of captain of the yeomen of the guard,
to which a salary of $4,000 is attached.
has occasioned some surprise, as did
the original appointment. The duke
had shown decided capacity as a speak
er and seemed likely to make a public
career for himself. The appointment
was given to him, it was reported, at
the intercession of the king, who had
been asked by the dukes mother TO
exert his influence. What prompted
the duke to resign is a matter of specu-
lation, one guess being that it was the
introduction of the governments Irish
devolution scheme in the house of COM
mons.

COLUMBIA SCORES
AGAINST HARVARD
RIVALS MEET IN SPLENDID
CONTEST
Crimson Loses by Half a Length.
Race RoWed with Snow Falling.
First Meeting in Twenty
Years
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
BOSTON, May 11.-Columbia defeat
ed Harvard on the Charles river today
in the first race between the two uni
versities in twenty years. The contest
was a splendid one from the start, as
at no time was open water seen be-
tween the shells.
Columbia won by about half a length
over a course of a mile and seven
eighths, her time being nine minutes
and sixteen seconds. Harvard's time
was nine minutes and eighteen Sec
onds.
Conditions for the race were not
wholly favorable, although the river
was not extremely rough and the tidal
conditions were satisfactory. The day
was a miserable one for any sport, as
far as the temperature, at least, was
concerned, the thermometer being in
the 3Os all day and standing at 80 when
the race was started. Cold rain, with
snow fiurries, fell at times during most
of the day.

Unique Way of Keeping
Accounts.

Extract from Editor Carpen-
ter's letter, who is now in France,
in Anderson Mail: While at San
Remy our guide, Mr.. Skinner,
The American consul at Mar
s-iles, carried us into a bakers
shop and showed us unique
method OF keeping accounts
which is in vogue in many parts
of France. The baker man will
take a small limb of tree and
let it dry out with the bark on.
Then he will split it in half and
give one piece to the customer
and keep the other half himself,
He delivers at the homes every
morning, and when he delivers
loaf he will take the custom
er's half OF the stick and fit it
to his own aud then cut a notch
across the split place. The notch
will show on both halves, and
when settling day comes there
can be no dispute for all the
notches mus fit each. The baker
cannot cheat the customer and
the customer cannot cheat he
baker. This seems crude way
OF keeping accounts, but it is
simple and insures accuracy, and
this is, or should be, the aim oil
any system Of account keeping.

Making Graves Level.

Modern cemetery ideas that
run contrary to. deep seated sem
timent usually create dissatisfac
ton when they are first introdu-
ced. Just now, says Park and
Cemetery, the lot holders in
Cedar Grove Cemetery, Brook
lyn, N. Y, are agitated over
the rule providing for the level
ing of all grave mounds
Many of the lot holders who
are now paying for annual care
of their lois object to a notice
recently issued by the cemetery
company to the effect that mounds
on lots for which annual care is
not paid would be levelled. Some
resent it as ga mean outrage"
Other cemeteries have had
similar experiences. In Lakewood
Cemetery, Minneapolis, when a
new law went into effect regard
ing the lowering OF grave mounds
there were many protests, but
IN less than year when the
changed appearance OF the sec
tions made appearant the mark
ed imp provemeut in the landscape
by lowering the mounds to an
almost imperceptible rise ever
the graves lot holders began re-
questing this treatment of their
lots, and within a short period of
time several thousand grave
mounds had been lowered, the
cost OF annual care materially re
duced and the general appear
ance of the grounds greatly i'm
proved.

How to Fortify Against
Drought.

There is almost certain to be a
period before the crops are made
that they will suffer from lack of
moisture. Probably there never
was a season that some of our
crops at some time did not suffer
because of lack of MOISTURE
When that time comes, and it
may be during July, good judg-
ment in cultivation means much
to tue crops. In fact, at such a
time the method of cultivation
may spell the difference between
success and failure.
In these periods of lack of
rain fall fiat surface with a top
laver of loose soil, the so-called
dust mulch, is the most favorable
condition Tor preventing too
rapid evaporation and aifording
the greatest possible supply of
water to the plants under exist
ing conditions. a three-inch
mulch, or three iuches OF real,
loose soil on top has been found
best for saving soil moisture from
evaporation. Early in the growth
of the plant the three inch mulch
may be maintained without seri-
Gus injury to the roots, but as the
plants grow many of them de-
velop root systems that would be
greatly injured by such deep cnl-
tivation, and in such condition
there .nlght not be roots enough
left to properly supply the plants
with water, although it had been
saved in the soil by the method
of cultivation.
As soon after each rain as pos
sible, and whenever the crops
are suffering from lack of mois
ture, the top surface should be
broken. Merely cutting or scratch
ing the surface or any method
of cultivation which leaves an
uneven surface increases rather
than decreases evaporation. 1t is
a dust or fine mulch over as near
a level surface as possible that is
needed to save the moisture in
lhe soil for the use of the crop.
Do not neglect to break the
top surface because the rain was
a light one, for If the season be
a dry one, and the rainfall light,
the soil may be drier and the
crops suffer more a short time
after light rain than If no rain
at all had occurred. This looks
strange, but il is fact expert
mentally proved. Do not, there
fore, neglect to cultivate as soor
after rain as possible, especial,
ly if the crop is likely TO sulleI
at any lime this season from lacL
of moisture. This dust mulch OIL
upper layers of loose soil part
cles should at first be thre'
inches thick, but the depth of th,
cultivation may be gradually les
sened until it is not over one ant
one-half inches.-The Progress
