and cannot afford to devote time to weeds when the Tn Is to be put in, yet by properly preparing the land for the intended crop they gain time For a year or two the farmer may find it difficult work combating weeds. but the time so devoted will be regained fourfold in after years. Weeds can best be destroyed when rotation is used and the ground should be plowed for corn early enough in the spring to allow of the sprouting of weed seeds. This sprouting of the weed seeds is the most important art "f the process, and the farmer should be willing to perform any amount of labor if he can sprout them at time when they will not interfere with growing crop.
 Constant W Ork.
 A field may be proftably cultivated without any crop at all in order to clean it thoroughly ot weeds. It will be loss of crop and labor, but gain in the end. Flow it ir the latter mart of the season, run the cultivator over 1t every time it becomes covered with young weeds and then follow with the harrow. In the spring, when the Held Is well covered with weeds. blow it again before the weeds can make growth, and keep the cultivator and harrow moving O CT 1t the whole year. The next spring put it in corn, and still keep up the cultivation. When the corn Is off blow 1t in the fall, and SOW to oats the following year. Such treat ment will effectually kill out the weeds and save labor afterward All the seeds used for crops should be thor oughly examined and cleaned, even if, in some cases. certain kinds must be hand picked. The manure should be routed in order to destroy the weeds, but this cannot be done under all cir cumstances. By handling the manure once and sprinkling every portion with a mixture of one pound of sulphuric acid to five gallons of water, the ma nure will be reduced to R finer rondi- ton and many weed seeds destroyed. If the manure is spread on the soil early In the season and worked in with

Policemen. In spite Of their troubles in solving what appear to be more or less simple problems, are fond of as- serting that the ordinary criminal betrays an amazing lack of origin ality In support of this they point out that when q criminal is arrested after doing one stretch" the second charge made against him is generally for the same sort of crime They explain this by saying that each failure or each loss shows the crook some point of which he has been ig- norant. and 1t Is easy for him to con avoid that mistake and be successful. When he fails and Is arrested. the law shows him just where he bungled. and the gamblers love of taking chance urges him to try hls tuck at the old game once more. Then there Is also. always to be considered the uncon- scious and gritty determinatfon 10 make a success of the thing. anvboty

Bertillon From the English.

It IS not generally known that M. Bertillon, who originated the method of identifying criminals now used by every important police force the world over. admits having learned his method of finger print identification from the English. Sir William Herschel, whom Bertillon regards ss one of his teachers. studied the subject while in India, where he became so con- vinced of the efficacy of the system that he not only contributed much of the first important literature on the subject, but brought back thousands of finger prints to England with him. Francis Galton was the other English pioneer in tthe subject, which finally attracted the attention of the French man. After long and close study of a vast number of finger prints he es- timated that the chance of two sets of prints being identical is less than one in 64,000, 100000.

AhSss TUT OuINtFBal FCACe.
 Boston, April, 14.-Rarely has there been so large a gathering of Boston people under one roof as that which assembled in the Christian Science church tonight, "to swell Boston's voice." as one speaker said. in recog- milton and support of the National peace and arbitration congress which begins in New York tomorrow.
 Over five thousand persons listened to the orators as they pleaded for univer- sal peace. They were former Secretary of the Navy John D. Long. former Gov ernor John l.. Bates and William Lloyd Garrison. Rev. Wm. J. Mckenzie. of Cambridge, presided and the meeting was unsectarian.
 Ex-Secretary Long said that the gathering was to speed arbitration and save human life. He referred. how ever to the late war with Spain and said that he did not know how it could have been avoided or how Cuba could have been rescued without war, all though the conflict gave protection to President Mckinley.
 But the war was not waged,' he said, flor conquest, glory. or gain. 1t was brief and the wounds were soon healed"

q cultivator near the surface the seeds remaining will be induced to sprout, and the young 1lants destroyed with but little labor. Phe rule for the de- struction, therefore, is "sprout the seed in the ground and kill the young plants Just as they appear out of the soil" By so doing they can never make suffi- cient headway to multiply. and if pre- vented from reproducing themselves must necessarily disappear if the farm CT does not introduce new seeds to cause him additional labor. Once pre- vent weeds from seeding and the ma nure will be free from the seeds.
 Weeds are expensive, because they not only rob the growing crops of plant food. but also deprive them of mois- ture. The rapid growing weeds crowd the other plants and d"prive them of warmth. light and all other essentials for growth. One adv qntage in the usurpation of the land by weeds is that they provide excellent green manurial crops. but the farmer can better afford to grow something else as green mate. nal than to permit single weed to go to seed. The vast amount of labor be slowed upon weeds every year may be valued at many millions of dollars and vet much of this labor could be avoided If the weeds were killed when young 1t is the postponement of weed killing that allows many of them to produce seeds. as their rapid growth often gives them occupancy of the land before the farmer Is aware of the Fact. their erad. cation then requiring days instead of hours. A crop of potatoes. onions cab baEes. beets or any other that rt- quires clean cultivation with the culti- vator harrow and hoe will greatly as sist in eradicating weeds. while green manurial crops that are plowed under destroy them.

Life for woman must always be more or less a question of appearance No woman Is so good or so beautiful or so intellectual that she can afford to be dowdy.
 No woman has the least right to render herself unattractive, particular ly to those with whom she is most closely associated.
 No woman can afford to fret or wor- ry and nag if she wants to retain her beauty and power to please.
 Nothing is unimportant in woman's life from her nails and hands to her mind and character.
 A happy woman is delightful to see a woman who Is cheerful in every thing she does.

FIGHTING WEEDS.
Robbery of the Soil aud Crops by Per-
 sistent Invaders.

ststeut Invaders.
 If the labor annually bestowed in the endeavor to eradicate weeds could be applied at the proper times not only would the nuisance be removed, but the labor lessened. In the case of weeds the slightest amount of labor saved in emitting to kill them when it should be done entails greater labor at other times. Nor Is all labor on weeds lost. During the eradication or de- struction of weeds the regular crops may be cultivated and the land put in better condition. One of the greatest mistakes is in not destroying the weeds when they first appear. It will re- auire less labor to destroy hundred weeds when they are young than to kill a single plant after it has made considerable growth, to say nothing of the fact that every weed that reaches maturity and produces seeds leaves greater work to be zone afterward. Although farmers are busiest in spring.

After the last sad rites had been conducted by gentleman of the cloth over the the remains of the deceased photograph was brought forth and placed on the casket and the assembled mourners and friends heard the voice of the dead man singing one of his favorite hymns. This paradox of a man singing at his own funeral is believed to be the first on record. The innovation opens Up a new possibility, and if the custom grows, dead men may soon be preaching their own funeral sermons.
