CARE OF THE LAWN.
Methods to Be Used to Produce the
Best Results.

With little care and trouble a lawn
home owners know how to take care
of their lawns in Il manner to obtain
the best results? a perfect lawn can
not be made upon all kinds of ground
but one may succeed in making sat
isfactory lawn and keeping it in good
condition upon unfavorable soils by
proper treatment. If the soil is thin,
with a gravelly subsoil. work deeply
into it as much organic matter as pos
sible and apply more fertilzing ele-
ments and grass seed in the season
than If the soil We're heavy and moist,
says the Kansas City Star.
Perennial weeds, like the dandelon,
speedwell, plantain. dock, monkey plant,
etc, can sometimes be got rid Of by
sowing an abundance of grass seed and
making the soil so rich that the grasses
will choke them out, but if they have
obtained strong foothold it will be
cheaper In the end to pull them out
and then put ON the grass seed and
fertilizers.
The best lawn dressing is fine ma
nure. Fine ground bone, wood ashes
or little muriate of potash Is also
good dressing. If the grass starts
slowly and is Of poor color-light
green-a little nitrate of soda, 100 to
300 pounds to an acre, will give the
plants better color and a rapid start
These mixtures should be put ON as
early as possible and be raked little
into the grass roots to prevent the loss
of nitrogen from the decomposing
bone. 1t is better to apply bone and
ashes separately. and if the former is
applied week or two before the latter
there will be little loss of nitrogen.
The lawn mower should not be used
until the ground has become settled,
that the grass may become we'll rooted.
The lawn mower is generally much
abused by those who use it. When
nicely adjusted and in good working
order 1t may be kept SO by a hair
breadth's turn of the adjusting screws
and bolts, and no one should be al
lowed to NEEDLE with these parts IN
less he fully understands them.
Always apply enough water to soak
deeply into the soil. A light watering
of the surface only bakes the soil so
that the moisture escapes the more
rapidly and in the end does more harm
than good. Upon thin soil grass should
be clipped frequently and allowed to
remain upon the lawn to serve as
mulch.

Squirted Ether Through keyhoIes.

Christopher Schang, arrested in con-
nection with the discovery Of great
quantity of loot in hotel ut Freeport
n. j.. was put under the third degree"
in the county jail by District Attorney
Coles and two county detectives and
after he had been Piled with questions
for two hours made full confession,
in which he implicated August Ferrig,
the proprietor of the F'reeport hotel,
and Maurice Burke in Il long series Of
robberies. Schang said he and FerriS
and Burke had plundered many houses
throughout the county. When they en-
tered house they would invariably
squirt ether through the keyholes of
the bedrooms in which persons were
sleeping, SO that the occupants might
be affected by the fumes and the rob-
bers could conduct their operations
without being disturbed.

it may be that he is insane. Only
crazy man, | believe, would have
walked into the Office of the PennsyL
vania Railroad company and asked for
a reward for returning mileage books
which he had stolen. When 1t is con-
Sidered that only n short time before
he presented the four mileage books
he had used two others. one of which
was taken up, his actions do appear
strange.
"IIolbrook insisted that the eight
burglalics of which he told us were the
only ones he committed We know.

garics in thc last few months that

mittcd 10y the same person. AS llol-
brook confessed that lr was guilty of
eight of them. we believe that he also
committed the others
I'm all the hurglarcs the burglar
seemed to know just where to find the
valuablcs in the house. IIolbrook of
course visited the houses many times
either in his PROBES, ional capacity or
as Il guest and therefore it would have
been easy for him to have obtained the
desired Information.
"Outwardly IIolhrooll does not act
like an insane person. He appears to
be genuinely penitent, and he realizes
fully what he has done. He expressed
the hope that in view Of his confession
he would be dealt with lightly. and he
also has promised to restore rs much
of the stolen stuff as possible"

Over Seuih Canadian IS Raaaiy
Nearing Completion

Minco Minstel.--The new bridge
the Rock Islaud is putting in north
of Minco over the South Canadian
is approaching complitiou, the
bridge men being at work on the
last span. The bridge is a massive
steel structure, on concrete piers
that extend down to bed rock. 1t
is quite a sight to watch the men
place the heavy steel in place and
rivet il together. They use pneu-
matte rivetiug machines, that make
a noise Commensurate with the
amount Of work they perform.
The building Of the bridge itself
is the least Of the troubles of the
railroad company. To keep the
river flowing under the bridge will
be job that will keep the engi-
neers busy for years to come. Dykes
built Of piling and cribwork have
been extended from each shore to
defect the current so as to cause
the water to flow under the bridges
This cribwork is filed with brush,
which will in time, by catching the
sand in the water, form solid
dam. Whether the plan Of the
engineers have been laid Alright or
not only time can tell, but it will
be a hard job to harness the river
and keep it within bounds during
a food.

Origin Of "PlooadlIly."

A new theory az to the origin Of
"Piccadilly," was put forward by
Archdeacon Bickersteth about 40
years ago, says the London Chronicle.
He had discovered Piccadilly among
the Chilterns. the central one OF three
conical hills near ivinghoe, and he
learned that this hill had at one time
been known also rs Peaked hill
Might not London's Piccadilly like.
wise be peaked hill. No doubt the
hill in Piccadllly is not remarkably
peaky, but then the same thing might
be said Of the Derbyshire peak itself
There is another Ptccadilly near Alb
erystwith, and yet another near Boil
ton. But in the provinces one al
ways suspects borrowing from Lon.
don in such cases. There are Hyde
Park Corners in provincial towns
that have no Hyde Park to justify
them.

NOW THE BRACELET COCKTAIL.
Another Fascinating Vision Of Metro
polltan Life.


The cocktail bracelet is the latest
for women. There are fashionable
women of this city who wear clrclets
on their wrists which sometimes con-
tain a Martini dry or a Manhattan,
says New York correspondent. The
bracelets have one drawback, II Is
said and that is they will not accom-
modate the cherry that goes with the
fairy cocktail. The other night a
Plttsburg attorney observed a woman
of fashion place her lips to her brace
let. He thought that she was paying
tribute to her own loveliness, but
learned later she was merely refresh
ing her inner self with a mixture Of
cordials. The nip contained In a
bracelet cocktail is so small that It
cannot be called drink, but cock
tail II is, nevertheless. OF course, the
bracelet is hollow. II large enough 1t
holds three thimblefuls of ready.made
cocktail, and pressure on an almost in
visible spring permits the fluid to
trickle through tiny hole In the gold
she'll, which is almost too small to be
seen. With one of those graceful
movements which appear to be nat
ural with a woman the drink may be
imbibed without fear of detection. A
Broadway goldsmith sells numbers OF
the bracelets every week, and as most
Of the purchasers prefer secrecy in
connection with the transaction they
pay pretty penny for the obviously
useful trinkets.
